Chapter 152: It's Heartbeat

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Xie Yao already had a guess in her mind.

Her mother died when she was only half a year old, and she had no memory of her mother at all. But when she heard these words, she still felt indescribably sad.

Zhu Qing helped her turn around slowly, walked to the chair and sat down.

She looked at Zhang, "Evidence."

Zhang's eyes flickered and she shook her head, "There is no evidence."

"When I married into the Xie family, your mother had been gone for more than half a year. I only knew about this when I overheard Xie Cheng's nightmare..."

Xie Yao looked straight into Zhang's eyes, and Zhang did not dodge or avoid her gaze, without feeling guilty at all.

Nearly twenty years have passed.

How could Xie Cheng leave any evidence behind?

"Send the madam back." Xie Yao got up and left, leaving behind a word.

Zhang said hurriedly: "Don't forget what you promised me!"

"Don't worry." Xie Yao didn't look back this time.

She would let Xie Yujiao go this time, but of course it wasn't because she was really soft-hearted.

From the fact that Song Wenbo tried so hard to rescue Xie Yujiao this time, one can guess that Xie Yujiao might have something that Song Wenbo wants.

Song Wenbo's efforts were in vain, and Xie Yujiao "easily" escaped from the prison.

Given Song Wenbo’s suspicious nature... I’m afraid there’s going to be something interesting to watch.

As soon as she went out, she saw a tall figure standing under the eaves, and Xiao Ji's eyes fell accurately on her.

Walk towards her.

He was wearing a dark cloak, and he enveloped her in it as soon as they met. His breath instantly came over and wrapped Xie Yao completely.

Xie Yao was not short, but Xiao Ji was taller, so she looked a little petite in front of him.

"Your Highness."

Before she could finish her words, she was picked up and carried sideways.

She wanted to raise her hands to hook his neck, but he stopped her, "The wind is strong, be careful with your hands."

"But……"

Xie Yao was a little worried. If she didn't use any strength at all, would it be too heavy? Would His Highness be unable to hold it?

Xiao Ji's eyes were deep, as if he could see through her thoughts. His voice was slightly resentful, "Yaoyao, you don't believe me?"

There seemed to be fire in those eyes.

If Xie Yao hadn't been unwell, he would have definitely proved himself with his own actions.

Xie Yao lowered her eyes in panic, then instantly became obedient and nestled obediently in Xiao Ji's arms.

Xie Yao was carried by Xiao Ji into the main house. Warmth surged over her, and he helped her take off the fox fur coat.

"Your Highness...won't you ask me?"

Xiao Ji's calmness made Xie Yao feel a little embarrassed.

Xiao Ji answered as a matter of course, "If Yaoyao wants to say it, she will tell me."

If you don't want to say it, then don't say it.

Xie Yao lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Zhang said that he had heard Xie Cheng confess in his nightmare that he was the one who killed my mother."

Even if she didn't say anything, Xiao Ji would be able to find out about this.

But Xie Yao still felt a little nervous for no reason, and even regretted it as soon as she said it.

What's the difference between this and handing her handle to Xiao Ji personally?

He could stab her anytime he wanted.

but……

Xie Yao convinced herself that she was just showing weakness to win Xiao Ji's trust. Besides, there was no evidence for this matter, so she...

Xie Yao was daydreaming when she suddenly felt the back of her hand warm. It was Xiao Ji who placed his warm big palm on the back of her hand.

He closed his fingers and held her hand in his palm.

"Yaoyao."

Only Xie Yao was clearly reflected in Xiao Ji's eyes, and his trembling voice was full of heartache, "You must have suffered a lot over the years."

Xie Yao was stunned, and then tears welled up in her eyes.

My heart feels sour and bitter, and as if it is filled with something, and is about to overflow.

Xiao Ji's warm fingertips moved faster and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Don't cry."

"You are in confinement after childbirth. You can't cry. It hurts your eyes."

Xie Yao's tears froze on her face, and she glared at Xiao Ji with red eyes, "It's all your fault, Your Highness."

Xiao Ji said in a good-tempered manner: "Well, it's all my fault."

He reached out and held Xie Yao in his arms, gently patting her back with his big hands.

His family is beautiful and his future will be smooth.

Xie Yao rested her head on Xiao Ji's chest and could clearly hear his strong heartbeat.

Gradually, the two people's heartbeats seemed to be synchronized.

Xie Yao felt less panicked than before, and instead felt... pretty good.

It's good to just rely on His Highness and do nothing.

…

Zhang was taken out of the prison quietly and sent back, and even Xie Yujiao was unaware of it.

After all, she knocked Zhang unconscious, and the jailer took her away on the pretext of taking Zhang to see a doctor.

Zhang was still very weak when she returned to the Tianlao.

Xie Yujiao was sitting in a corner of the prison with her knees hugged, shivering from the cold in her thin clothes.

She moved her body to Xie Yujiao and hugged her, "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, don't be afraid."

Xie Yujiao's eyes were wide open and her lips were trembling, as if she was saying something non-stop.

Zhang moved closer to listen.

All I could hear was Xie Yujiao mumbling incoherently, "This shouldn't be the case, this shouldn't be the case... the imperial edict... the imperial edict is mine..."

"Xie Yao... go to hell, go to hell, die to hell..."

“…”

Xie Yujiao kept repeating these words.

Zhang was worried that her daughter was going crazy, so she hugged her daughter tightly and said, "Be good, mother is here."

Just at this moment.

There were heavy footsteps.

Zhang looked up and saw the tall and mighty Pei Chen striding towards her and stopping in front of the cell door.

Pei Chen raised his hand and waved, and immediately a jailer came forward to open the door.

Pei Chen said: "You can go out now."

Xie Yao keeps her word.

Really let them go.

But Zhang was a little confused at this moment.

The Zhang family refused to acknowledge her, Xie Cheng gave her a divorce letter, and there was also a girl named Qingqing at home who was eager to seek revenge...

Where...is she going?

Xie Yujiao didn't think too much about it. When she heard that she could go out, she ran out immediately.

Zhang had no choice but to follow.

But she was already injured and could only walk with the help of the wall. How could she keep up with Xie Yujiao?

When Zhang came out of the gate of Tianlao and was supported by Mother Liu, she saw Xie Yujiao getting on the Song family's carriage.

“Jiaojiao!”

She called out, but Xie Yujiao didn't respond.

As for Zhang, if it weren't for Mother Liu's support, she would have stumbled and fallen in the snow.

Zhang hurriedly grabbed Mama Liu's hand and said, "Go and stop the carriage quickly. Jiaojiao can't go with the Song family!"

Song Wenbo, that beast in human form, was going to torture Jiaojiao in unknown ways.

"Madam." Madam Liu's eyes were red, and she felt very distressed. "Yes, the second young lady wanted to go herself."

Zhang paused and froze in place.

She knew that Mother Liu would not lie to her.

She looked at the carriage that had disappeared from her sight in a daze, muttering to herself, "Am I... wrong?"

In the carriage.

Song Wenbo's sinister eyes fell on Xie Yujiao. Xie Yujiao lay on his legs and said aggrievedly: "Husband, why did you come just now..."

Before she could finish her words, Song Wenbo grabbed her chin.

His bony hands pinched her jaw, forcing her to look up. He stared into Xie Yujiao's eyes and said, "Tell me."

"What did you tell them?"
