Chapter 184 Why do I have a bad feeling?
Tu Yong frowned, feeling very reluctant: "This... Yingying is still young and a little shy..."
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "But I heard from the young master that she is very brave and not afraid of strangers."
Tu Yong had no choice but to ask someone to carry Xie Ying out.
Because Xie Xiu fell into the water, the eldest princess didn't feel comfortable taking her back to the mansion, so Xie Ying is now at home.
Not long after, she was carried out by the maid.
The maid was obviously a little scared when she saw Lu Xuan, but Xie Ying was not afraid at all. Relying on the fact that she was still a baby, she opened her big eyes and looked at Lu Xuan.
Seeing this made Lu Xuan feel more and more itchy.
He had seven daughters, but when they were as old as Xie Ying, they all cried when they saw him. If he held them in his arms, they would cry even more heartbreakingly, like little pigs waiting to be slaughtered.
It made it impossible for him to hold her.
Unlike the fat kid from the Xie family, he actually dared to look at him straight. He was so brave.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but walk forward and stretched out his hand to the maid: "Leave it to me."
The maid was so frightened that she trembled all over, and before she knew it, Lu Xuan snatched the child from her arms.
She was so scared that her face turned pale. She hurried to look at Xie Ying, only to see her staring at Lu Xuan.
Tu Yong was also very scared and subconsciously wanted to rush forward and snatch the child away.
Who knew that suddenly I heard——
[This guy is quite handsome and has a nice figure. He looks even better in this outfit. The emperor has such good taste, could it be that he has a paternal relationship with her? Do you want to touch him and see how it feels?]
Tu Yong silently retracted his leg, which was about to take a step forward, but his fists stiffened: "How on earth is Xie Xiu a father? He actually raised his good granddaughter to be like this!"
Xie Xiu, who was rushing home, said, "A-choo!"
He looked up at the sky in confusion: Strange, why did he have such a bad premonition?
……
Xie Mansion.
After Lu Xuan took the people away, Du Heng Courtyard became dead silent.
Chen Fang, Xie Yun and Xie Yi sat stiffly in their chairs, and no one spoke.
After a long while, Xie Yun said quietly, "It seems that only the Queen can save you now."
He asked Chen Fang, "Do you have a way to get a message to the Chen family? Once those people's confessions get out, not only will you be killed, but Yi'er's reputation will also be ruined."
And if Xie Yun repays his hatred with enmity and murders his first wife, his reputation will become even more disgraceful!
However, Xie Yun deliberately did not mention himself, as that would make him seem too selfish.
So he only mentioned Xie Yi.
Chen Fang only gave birth to two sons and one daughter. Xie Yi was her most outstanding child, and she would never let Xie Yi's reputation be ruined.
As expected, Chen Fang immediately said, "I do have a plan. All the servants in Du Hengyuan have been taken away. Send someone to find Liu Yazi and ask him to select some servants and send them over."
Xie Yun looked at her in surprise: "Is this Liu Yazi from the Chen family?"
Chen Fang glanced at him coldly and said, "Master, you have been in the officialdom for many years. You should know that you should not ask questions that you should not ask."
Xie Yun's face darkened before he asked again, "Then... do you want to give her a message?"
Chen Fang quickly wrote a note. Xie Yun took a look at it and found that it only stated the requirements for the servants and did not mention anything else.
He immediately realized that this must be the code word agreed upon by Chen Fang and the other party.
He looked at Chen Fang and saw that she had no intention of saying anything. He could only suppress his dissatisfaction and prepare to send someone to find Liu Yazi.
Before leaving, he comforted Chen Fang and Xie Yi with a few words: "Don't worry, since Lu Xuan only took the servants away, it means there is still room for improvement.
As long as the matter doesn't get out, His Majesty might show some leniency for the Empress' sake."
After all, it would be bad if this kind of thing were to get out.
Xie Yun felt that Emperor Taihe might not want the news to get out.
After all, Chen Fang is the Queen's half-sister.
However, we have to be careful that the Jiang family may take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Fortunately, Chen Shou had an accident not long ago, and Jiang Cheng was also involved. The Jiang family had no prince, and Concubine Jiang was unable to give birth, so they were inevitably lacking in confidence and might not dare to do anything at this time.
Unexpectedly, Xie Yi suddenly said, "Father, I think this is inappropriate. Lu Xuan deliberately took those servants away. It is obvious that he has great evil intentions towards us and wants to use them against us."
In this case, he must have arranged for people to monitor the Xie Mansion's every move. Sending people to find Liu Yazi now would only expose him.
I might as well go to the Cheng'en Mansion myself and ask my grandfather to save my mother. Since I'm asking for help anyway, I can go there openly and Lu Xuan won't be able to find any evidence against me."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fang quickly snatched the note from Xie Yun's hand and quickly crumpled it into a ball.
Then he said to Xie Yi, "Yier is right. You should go see your grandfather. But things are turbulent right now. You should take Xin'er and Jia'er with you. It's a good opportunity to stay there for a few days."
Xie Yi was in a dilemma. The news that Xie Xin had angered his grandfather had already spread, and Xie Jia had just returned from outside. He was worried that the people in Cheng'en Mansion would be dissatisfied if he took him to stay at Cheng'en Mansion for a while.
But before he could open his mouth to persuade her, Xie Jia and Xie Xin hurried over.
Both of them were in the mansion, so they naturally heard the news that Lu Xuan brought the Black Qilin Guards to their house, but they just kept hiding and didn't dare to come over.
Only after Lu Xuan had left did they dare to come over and ask.
Xie Xin is a man after all, so he walks faster than Xie Jia.
He rushed into the courtyard first and came to the main hall. When he saw the three people, he asked anxiously, "Dad, Mom, Third Brother, what happened? Why did Lu Xuan bring so many Black Qilin Guards into our house and take away the servants from Du Hengyuan?"
Before he could finish his words, Xie Jia ran in breathlessly and asked, "Yeah, what's going on at home? How did Lu Xuan have the guts to come to the Xie Mansion and act like a wild beast?"
Chen Fang didn't explain, but simply said, "You're here just in time. Hurry up and go with Yi'er to stay at Duke Cheng'en's mansion for a few days!"
When she said this, Xie Xin and Xie Jia became even more nervous.
If something hadn't happened at home, why would Chen Fang let them stay at Duke Cheng'en's mansion?
However, the two of them looked at the ugly expressions of Chen Fang and others and did not ask any more questions.
If something really happened at home, they would be much safer hiding in Duke Cheng'en's mansion.
Moreover, they can ask Xie Yi on the way, and take the opportunity to complain to their grandfather and uncle!
Chen Fang urged Xie Yi again: "Yier, go quickly, don't delay any longer."
Xie Yi had no choice but to take Xie Xin and Xie Jia on a carriage and head to Duke Cheng'en's Mansion.
When the carriage drove out of Xie's house, he deliberately lifted a corner of the curtain and secretly looked out the window.
Seeing that there were indeed some suspicious people near Xie's house, his heart sank suddenly.
Sure enough, Lu Xuan was determined to find something to hold against them this time.
Fortunately, he persuaded his mother not to send anyone to look for Liu Yazi. Otherwise, it would not bring much benefit except exposing this person and causing dissatisfaction among the Chen family.
Seeing his actions, Xie Xin and Xie Jia also went to the window, carefully lifted a corner of the curtain, and peeked out.
The two of them are now like frightened birds, and they find everyone they see suspicious.
So after just one look, they were so frightened that they lowered the curtain and then eagerly asked Xie Yi -
"Brother, tell us quickly, what happened at home?"
"Yes, brother, Lu Xuandu brought the Black Qilin Guards to our house to arrest people. You can't keep hiding this from us!"
Xie Yi had no choice but to simply recount the whole story.
When Xie Xin and Xie Jia heard that it was Xie Xin who was behind this, and that it also involved Luo's death, and that the servants in Du Hengyuan had confessed one after another, they were so angry that they gritted their teeth and wanted to kill Xie Xiu immediately.
"So it was him! I knew he was no good!" Xie Xin cursed angrily, and couldn't help but blame Xie Yi, "Brother, you're too careless. You didn't even see Xie Xiu's plan! He got away with it!"
Xie Jia also complained a little: "Yeah, brother, why didn't you have any defense at all?"
Xie Yi was already filled with rage, and now that they dared to blame him, he immediately shouted, "If Pei Rong hadn't gone to the Imperial College to make a scene, how could I have been so angry that I lost my mind and went to Xie Xiu to settle the score?"
He accused Xie Jia, "I also want to ask you, why did you, a good girl from the boudoir, have to elope with Pei Rong? Who is he? Why did you have to fall for him when there are so many people you could fall for?"
Xie Jia was immediately dissatisfied: "Brother, what do you mean by this? Are you doubting my judgment? Pei Rong was just worried about me, so he went to ask Xie Xiu. What did he do wrong?
He was born handsome and when he passed the imperial examination, many wealthy businessmen wanted to marry their daughters to him, but he looked down on the daughters of merchants who were obsessed with money.
When he passes the imperial examination, there will surely be many powerful people in the capital who would like to marry him. What's wrong with me being with him? He doesn't even look down on the daughters of merchants, he's much better than my father!"
"Shut up!" Xie Yi couldn't bear to listen any longer and shouted, "Don't say these words again when we get to Duke Cheng'en's mansion!"
He glared at Xie Xin again and warned him not to talk nonsense in Cheng'en Mansion.
Finally, the carriage arrived at Duke Cheng'en's Mansion.
When Duke Cheng'en and Chen Shou heard the news, their faces immediately turned very ugly.
Although he was dissatisfied, Duke Cheng'en still met with Xie Yi and the other two.
After the three of them finished their greetings and sat down, Xie Xin couldn't wait to start complaining, and Xie Jia added fuel to the fire.
Xie Yi saw this and couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied and disappointed with the two of them.
When he was in the car, he clearly warned the two not to talk nonsense.
Now it seems that they did not listen to his words.
As Duke Cheng'en listened to the two people's exaggerated complaints, his face became increasingly unsightly.
When the two finally finished talking, he asked Xie Yi again: "Yier, do you have anything to say?"
Xie Yi made the addition calmly, not as excited as Xie Xin and Xie Jia.
Duke Cheng'en saw this and couldn't help but feel more satisfied with his grandson.
Although Chen Fang was only a concubine's daughter, she gave birth to a good son and raised him very well.
He stroked his beard and said, "I'll take care of it. Go see your grandmother and she'll arrange a place for you to stay."
Unexpectedly, Xie Jia suddenly asked, "Grandfather, can we go visit our uncle, the prince? I heard that something happened to him a few days ago and he has been recuperating at home recently. I am a little worried."
As soon as she said this, Duke Cheng'en's face instantly turned gloomy.
The three siblings saw this and their hearts began to sink: Lord Cheng'en's reaction was not a good sign.
Xie Jia asked cautiously, "Grandpa, is my uncle seriously ill?"
