Chapter 134 Responsible for Jiyao
After Xie Chengyi came out of Songheyuan, he went to Songbaiyuan.
At this moment, this place is like hell on earth.
Liu Wutong and Xie Chengfeng were beaten so badly that their hair was disheveled and their bodies were covered with wounds. They huddled in a corner, trembling all over.
Xie Chongkun held a whip, his eyes full of ferocity.
"You actually cheated on me for such a long time?" Xie Chongkun was like an angry beast, full of danger.
"I'm right, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong..." Liu Wutong looked at Xie Chongkun with fear in her eyes, her mouth full of admitting her mistakes and apologizing.
"And you! You actually want to harm He Ni? Are you a human? I was wondering why I had a prodigal son like you, it turns out you are not even my child!!!" Xie Chongkun roared at Xie Chengfeng viciously.
At this moment, Xie Chengfeng was already numb, his eyes were dull and he said: "Kill me..."
"I will kill you now!" Xie Chongkun was so angry at the cruel Liu Wutong and her son that he picked up the whip and started whipping them again.
"Ah!! Stop hitting me, stop hitting me!" Liu Wutong threw herself on her son and cried helplessly.
The entire Songbai Courtyard was filled with shrill cries.
Even though the maids and old women could hear it clearly, no one dared to get close or speak. They all sighed and shook their heads, lamenting that this concubine had a good life but had to act up. Now that she had acted up, her life was over.
When Xie Chengyi walked in, a maid was walking out in fear. She bumped into Xie Chengyi with a "bang". She was so scared that she knelt down and hurriedly said, "Prince, spare me! Prince, spare me!"
What he heard was a shrill voice. Xie Chengyi's expression tightened and he walked quickly towards the inner room.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting..." Liu Wutong's eyes were already a little dazed and she looked weak.
"You hate me so much? Then really beat me to death. Otherwise, others will say that there is a bastard in the Marquis' Mansion!" Xie Chengfeng pushed his mother away and saw that Xie Chongkun's eyes were full of murderous intent and he was seeking death.
Provoked by Xie Chengfeng, Xie Chongkun completely lost control and said to Xie Chengfeng in a deep voice: "Then go to hell!"
In the meantime, the whip rope was swung towards Xie Chengfeng with great force.
Just when Xie Chengfeng closed his eyes and felt like he had lost all desire to live, Xie Chengyi flashed in, grabbed the whip rope, and blood immediately oozed from his hands.
"Chengyi!" Xie Chongkun instantly regained some of his rationality.
Xie Chengfeng and Liu Wutong looked at Xie Chengyi.
"What are you doing? I'm going to beat them to death!" Xie Chongkun roared.
Xie Chengyi's voice was cold and solemn, "Then what? Did you calm down?"
Xie Chongkun was furious.
"Or do you want everyone in the capital to know about it, father?" Xie Chengyi's words stabbed the softest part of Xie Chongkun's heart.
"If you don't want to, don't do anything you will regret. Can you leave this matter to me?" Xie Chengyi looked straight at his father.
Xie Chongkun looked at Liu Wutong and Xie Chengfeng who regarded him as a scourge, and felt a chill in his heart, and even staggered when he walked...
Liu Wutong looked at Xie Chengyi in pain, struggled to get up, knelt beside Xie Chengyi, and begged for mercy: "My death is not a pity, can you let Chengfeng go? After all, he has called you big brother for so many years, for the sake of you two eating from the same bowl of rice, please forgive him..."
Xie Chengyi looked at the two of them solemnly, and ordered Zhan Li behind him, "Zhan Li, close the door!"
……
Dingyang Marquis's Mansion was shrouded in a dense blackness like ink. Listening carefully, there seemed to be whispers, sighs, cries, and sighs...
However, when you look beyond the Marquis' Mansion, the Mansion under the gold-plated plaque is still so honorable. No matter how the situation in the capital changes, this is still a place that no one dares to shake easily.
Early in the morning.
As soon as Ah Ying opened the door, Su Jian was waiting at the door. She nodded towards the door and said, "The prince is waiting for you."
Ah Ying was surprised, "Why didn't you call me earlier?"
"The prince said he didn't want to disturb you and would talk to you after you wake up." Su Jian said truthfully. Ah Ying tied her hair casually, put on a very plain long dress, and walked out lightly.
It's a rare sunny day today.
Xie Chengyi was sitting under the pavilion, looking emotionally uncertain.
So he raised his hand, and when Su Jian came closer, he whispered something to her.
Then, he walked towards Xie Chengyi.
"Aren't you afraid of catching a cold sitting here so early in the morning?" Aying asked softly.
Hearing the voice, Xie Chengyi raised his eyes and looked at A Ying, his expression subtle, "It's okay."
Ah Ying was stunned. He didn't joke with him and seemed to be in a bad mood.
"I heard that the concubine and the third young master were sent away?" A Ying looked at him.
Xie Chengyi curled his lips, "You haven't even left this door, but you are quite sensitive to the news."
"We must always make progress." Aying smiled frankly.
"Let them go to Hangzhou and tell others that the concubine is not feeling well and is recuperating." Xie Chengyi said calmly.
"Don't you hate it?" Aying asked in confusion.
Xie Chengyi was puzzled by the question, "Who do you hate? It's better not to interfere in the affairs of the previous generation."
Aying agreed with this statement. The more you manage, the more problems will arise.
"There's also news from He Ni. She's gone traveling around the world, and Jin Fang has sent people to follow her." A Ying said slowly, observing Xie Chengyi's reaction.
Xie Chengyi nodded, "I trust you to do the job."
Ah Ying then took out a jade token from her bosom and handed it to Xie Chengyi, "Here, it is returned to its original owner!"
Looking at the jade token, Xie Chengyi's eyes moved slightly and he reached out to take it.
"I'm sorry..." Xie Chengyi lowered his head.
Ah Ying looked calm and composed, "What are you saying sorry for?"
"What I promised you may have to be delayed. It's really inappropriate in the current situation." Xie Chengyi explained.
Ah Ying looked relieved, "I know, I understand."
"There is one more thing." Xie Chengyi continued.
Seeing his cautious expression, Ah Ying guessed what was going on and asked first, "What about Princess Jiyao?"
Obviously, Xie Chengyi was a little surprised. "Yes. This time I went to Linzhou to check the whereabouts of the young prince Nanjing. I didn't expect to receive a notice from His Majesty on the way, saying that the old emperor of Nanchu had passed away and the new emperor succeeded to the throne. Because Jiyao did not give birth to a child, the Nanchu royal family allowed her to choose whether to return to Beijin. That's why I went to pick her up."
Ah Ying said very considerately, "This is as it should be. Princess Jiyao has ensured the stability of South Chu and North Jin for ten years. Now, it is time for her to enjoy her life. You knew her when she was young, so it is more appropriate for you to pick her up."
Xie Chengyi's expression relaxed for a moment, "Thank you, Aying."
Ah Ying smiled, "As a citizen of Northern Jin, this is what I should do."
"Now I feel relieved. I was worried that she would come over from time to time and make you think too much." Xie Chengyi slowly held Aying's hand and sighed that Aying understood him.
Ah Ying smiled softly.
When she turned around, her face darkened. To say that Xie Chengyi was a blockhead was not an insult to him at all. One was her white moonlight, and the other was an orphan with no name or status. What could she say?
However, his behavior would only make Jiyao gradually fall in love with him and make Aying feel insecure.
But Aying also knew that she couldn't force him on this matter. After all, Bai Yueguang's killing power was too strong. Ji Yao was sacrificing herself for the people and for the benefit of the country. If she couldn't distinguish right from wrong, she would be making trouble unreasonably.
If she wants to make a living, she has to figure out one thing: Does Xie Chengyi want to be responsible for Jiyao?
