Chapter 175 Chen Fang in despair, no more chances
Tu Jiaojiao nervously carried Xie Ying to Xie Xiu's side. She always felt that there was something wrong with the way Lu Xuan looked at Xie Ying: Does this guy have some weird quirks?
Unexpectedly, Xie Ying arched out of her arms, landed on the couch, and took the opportunity to take Xiangxiang back.
Xiangxiang transformed into pure wood energy and penetrated into her small palm. Except for Situ Yuan, no one present knew what Xie Ying had done.
Even Tu Jiaojiao and Xie Xiu, who were very close, didn't notice anything.
Then Tu Jiaojiao picked up Xie Ying, Tu Yong carried Xie Xiu on his back, and they followed Lu Xuan out of the Imperial College and took a carriage back to Xie's house.
Xie Yun, Chen Fang and Xie Yi also took the opportunity to return to the Xie Mansion.
After entering Du Heng Courtyard and dismissing the servants, Xie Yun immediately questioned Chen Fang: "What are these poisonous insects they are talking about? Explain it to me!"
Chen Fang was panicking, but she remained stubborn and said, "What else could it be? Can't you see what your good son is trying to do?
I don't think he has lost his memory at all. He just chose to say it at this time because he feels he has grown stronger and wants to break up with you!
You heard everything they said. Xie Xiu not only resents me as his stepmother, he also hates you as his biological father!
And they deliberately said it in front of so many people in the Imperial College! What are they trying to do? You're so smart, can't you figure it out?
They deliberately set up a trap, first accusing Yi'er of pushing him into the water, and then accusing me of giving them poisonous insects. Instead of finding a way to deal with it quickly, you come to question me!
Could it be that you really believed their lies and thought I had cast a spell on them?"
Xie Yun looked at her coldly: "The key now is not what I think, but what Lu Xuan and His Majesty think!
Tu said that there was a poisonous insect hidden in the box you gave her, which attracted Lu Xuan. Haven't you ever thought about the reason behind this?
Even the eldest princess's face changed drastically after hearing about the poisonous insect!
If Lu Xuan and His Majesty really believed that you had hidden a poisonous insect in the box, do you think the Chen family would protect you?"
When Xie Yun said this, he saw Chen Fang's face become extremely ugly, and his eyes were full of panic that he could not hide at all.
His heart sank, and he demanded, "Even at this point, you're still not going to tell me the truth? Tell me, is there a Gu worm in that box? And where did you get it from?"
Chen Fang's face was pale and her lips were trembling, but she refused to tell the truth.
Xie Yun grabbed her arm tightly and wanted to continue questioning her, but was stopped by Xie Yi.
He advised Xie Yun: "Father, the reactions of the Princess and Lu Xuan are indeed strange. I'm afraid something has happened in the palace. We need to find out as soon as possible so that we can come up with the next countermeasures.
Mother is in a very difficult situation now. Why don't you ask someone for information first and let me ask her.
"Mother didn't mean to hide this from you, but she's been seriously ill lately, and now she's been humiliated by those people, so she's definitely feeling bad. I hope Father will give her some time."
Seeing that he was determined to protect Chen Fang, Xie Yun could only let go of his hand helplessly: "Forget it, ask her yourself! Make sure she explains clearly, something is very wrong today!"
After saying that, he turned around and hurried out, anxious to find someone to inquire about the news.
After he left, Xie Yi's expression changed. She looked at Chen Fang and asked, "Mother said that the thing you put in that box was colorless and odorless, so Xie Xiu would definitely not notice it. So it was a Gu worm? Where did you get it from?"
Chen Fang's expression turned grim: "Even you don't believe me?"
Xie Yi's expression was cold. "Father was right just now. At this point, Mother still refuses to tell the truth? You've also seen the attitudes of the Princess and Lu Xuan. If Lu Xuan really finds the Gu worm in that box, the entire Xie Mansion will probably be in trouble!"
Chen Fang frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Even if he found it, so what? Who can prove that I let the poisonous insect go in without any hesitation, and that Xie Xiu didn't deliberately put it in to frame me?"
Xie Yi's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
Chen Fang's meaning clearly meant that he admitted that there was indeed a poisonous insect hidden in the box.
He said in a deep voice, "Mother, can't you see that Xie Xiu came prepared this time? If he dares to do this, he must be absolutely sure! Mother has always refused to reveal the origin of the Gu worm. Is it because it came from the Chen family?"
"Shut up!" Chen Fang's face changed drastically, and she suddenly shouted, "How can you say such nonsense? You must remember that the Chen family is your maternal family and your greatest support! You can suspect anyone, but you must never suspect the Chen family!"
Xie Yi suddenly smiled sarcastically: "Mother, do you think that if Lu Xuan finds the poisonous insect, the Chen family will still protect you? Didn't mother see what happened to Xu Maochun?
He is also a member of the Chen family, but does anyone in the Chen family recognize his identity? Before he got into trouble, he went through life and death for the Chen family and did countless dirty things.
Now that something had happened, he was abandoned by the Chen family. Not only did no one stand up for him, but Prince Chen even openly declared outside the Ministry of Justice that he was not a member of the Chen family.
Didn't mother ever think that Xu Maochun's today would be your tomorrow? If anything happened to mother, the Chen family would immediately expel her from the clan and add insult to injury!
Now, you are still defending them and refusing to tell me the truth. Are you my mother or a member of the Chen family? "
Chen Fang was deeply touched.
She looked at Xie Yi with a complicated look, a struggle flashing in her eyes, but finally shook her head: "Yier, you have to believe that everything I do is for your own good. I will be fine, and the Chen family will not expel me from the clan, so don't think too much."
Xie Yi felt a chill run down her spine. "At this point, mother still harbors illusions?"
Chen Fang's face turned pale. She looked at him for a long time with complicated eyes, and suddenly burst into tears: "Yier, I am really doing this for your own good. You must remember that only when the Chen family is well can you be well!
I only have three of you children, but your father has more than just you and Xiner.
If something really happens to me, he may not treat you sincerely. You can only rely on the Chen family!
As long as the Chen family does not fall, even if he has more sons, he will not dare to treat you harshly.
So don't ask me anymore, it's not some poisonous insect, it's just an ordinary insect, and it has nothing to do with the Chen family. I got it by accident."
After Chen Fang finished speaking, she dug her nails into her palms.
Of course she knew that the attitudes of the eldest princess and Lu Xuan were very wrong, but she had no choice!
If she admitted that the poisonous insect came from the Chen family, both she and the Chen family would be doomed!
By then, with Xie Yun's cruelty and coldness, how could her children have a good life?
In order to avenge her, Xie Xiu would not let her children go.
Therefore, she must not bring up the Chen family!
Only if the Chen family remains standing can her children have a support system and live a good life in the future.
Looking at her tall son in front of her, Chen Fang suddenly understood the decision Luo Sheng had made in the delivery room.
She had never understood why Luo Sheng was willing to have her belly cut open for the sake of the baby in her belly.
Now, she finally understood Luo Sheng's despair and choices at that time.
It turns out that after becoming a mother, you can really give everything for your children.
As long as her child can survive, she is willing to do anything!
Chen Fang made up her mind, so she said again: "Yier, go back to the Imperial College, don't worry about your family."
Xie Yi smiled bitterly, "After what happened, why would I go back to the Imperial College now? To be criticized? Mother, don't worry about me. I will stay home and study hard to prepare for next year's Spring Examination."
After a pause, he continued, "If mother is worried about me and my brothers and sisters, she should know that if you are not well, we will not be well either."
Chen Fang is their mother, and they are destined to prosper and suffer together.
Chen Fang's face was pale, her lips were trembling, and her heart was filled with regret.
She shouldn't have considered the consequences and let Xie Xiu survive for so many days.
She should have gotten rid of Xie Xiu when he first came to the capital!
It was her fault for always wanting to be perfect and preserve her reputation.
This gave Xie Xiu a chance to strike back!
She didn't know at this time that after Xie Ying was born, she would never have the chance to get rid of Xie Xiu again.
……
On the other side, Xie Xiu and others returned to Xie's house first.
Lu Xuan also came back with them.
He followed Tu Jiaojiao and others into the Xie residence. Looking at the carved beams and painted buildings and the clusters of flowers all over the mansion, he couldn't help but feel a little sour: No wonder those people were jealous of the little girl of the Xie family. This house was indeed built very well.
He looked at Xie Ying enviously for several times until Tu Jiaojiao handed her to the maid and the maid carried Xie Ying away. Only then did he reluctantly withdrew his gaze and followed Tu Jiaojiao to the warehouse.
Tu Jiaojiao looked frightened, pointing to a small box wrapped in cloth from a distance and said, "There's something I didn't dare to tell you before.
In fact, when my husband received the box, he suspected that someone had tampered with it, so we didn't dare to open the box. We put it directly into this small box and sealed all the gaps with wax.
Worried that someone would discover the wax on the box, the woman specially found a piece of cloth and wrapped the box.
The night we moved out of the Xie Mansion, I had that nightmare. After that, we didn't dare to move the box and kept it sealed in this small box.
So I'm not sure what's hidden inside. If it's a poisonous insect, will it starve to death inside? But if you ask someone to examine it, please be very careful!
Although I have never seen a Gu insect before, in my dream, as soon as my husband opened the box, a terrifying monster flew out, ripped open my husband's heart, and drilled in!
Lu Xuan looked at the small box wrapped in cloth and raised his eyebrows: "I will naturally be careful about this matter."
Then he waved his hand and said, "Take the box away!"
A subordinate hurried forward and picked up the small box with his courage.
Because there was only a small box in it and the whole box was not heavy, he didn't feel tired carrying it.
Just thinking that there might be a poisonous insect hidden inside made his scalp tingle.
