After the Cousin Married She Was Forcefully Taken by the Mad Power Minister

The eldest young master of the Xie family, Xie Xianyu, was like a spring breeze and a graceful orchid—refined, elegant, and, rarest of all, blessed with a compassionate heart.

A year ago, he ...

Chapter 161 Death is approaching (2/2)

Just as he finished speaking, he heard Xie Xiangli's impatient voice from the tent: "Don't, don't go..."

Everyone's expressions changed in a wonderful way. They looked at each other, with their eyes saying: So that's it.

Zhu Jia wanted to argue, but suddenly he raised his head and met Xie Xianyu's cold eyes. For a moment, he seemed to see something.

He did not drink the wine that was placed on his table, nor did he sleep in his tent.

No matter how stupid she was, she could finally come over. This was the trap he set for her.

Xie Xianyu's expression was cold, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "The upbringing of the Ding'an Marquisate is just so-so."

Zhu Jia's face suddenly turned pale and ugly. Others thought he was saying that she and Xie Xiangli were shameless, but she knew he was talking about her.

When General Cai heard about this, he rushed over and his face turned green the moment he saw Zhu Jia.

"This, this, this... How can I..."

If it were anyone else, they would definitely be punished by military law, but Zhu Jia was different. She was the adopted daughter of Marquis Ding'an. Everyone knew her father's kindness to Marquis Ding'an, and the Meng family army took special care of Zhu Jia. How could they dare to punish her?

Even if it was the Marquis, he probably wouldn't have the heart to do such a cruel thing.

Xie Xianyu said calmly, "Now that things have come to this, the Xie family will not shirk responsibility. Let's get engaged when we return to Beijing. Xiangli is not the kind of man who would abandon someone after having an affair."

Having said that, when he looked at Zhu Jia, there was a murderous look in his eyes.

General Cai was still unconvinced. Upon hearing this answer, he nodded repeatedly: "Good, good! That's very good!"

It's also good to marry into the Xie family. Although Xie Xiangli is only a bastard's son, he is still a direct descendant of the Xie family and the younger brother of Xie Xianyu. This can also be reported to the Marquis.

Zhu Jia shook his head in panic: "No, no..."

Xie Xianyu was too impatient to deal with it any longer and simply turned around and left.

General Cai stayed behind to clean up the mess.

Qing'an followed Xie Xianyu's steps and couldn't help but whisper, "If Zhu Jia marries this young master, won't she have to move into the Xie residence in the future?"

"Enter Xie's residence?" He sneered, "Why do you think I pushed Prime Minister Xie away?"

Qing'an shook his head blankly.

Xie Xianyu's eyes were sinister: "Because of Xie Xiangli, my death is approaching."

"W-what?"

"Return to the capital immediately and go to my study. Take the secret letter from the third drawer on the bookshelf and personally deliver it to Censor Li. It is evidence of Xie Xiangli's collusion with the Empress."

Qing'an's eyes widened in shock, and he stammered, "Then, what about Miss Shishi Zhu?"

Xie Xianyu sneered. What did he care about her?

If you dare to plot against him, you should know the price.

The next morning.

The news about Zhu Jia and Xie Xiangli spread quickly in the army like a spring breeze, and it caused an uproar with many different opinions.

Xie Xianyu ignored it and just wanted to finish the things here as soon as possible and return to Beijing.

"Sir, the young master is here and wants to see you."

He didn't even look up: "Say I'm not here."

Qing'an swallowed and said, "Young Master has been waiting for you since early morning, watching you come back."

He raised his eyes and stared at him: "So?"

Qing'an nodded immediately: "I'll send him away right away!"

Xie Xianyu snorted coldly. Xie Xiangli was such a discarded child that he was not even worth his words. He only needed to wait for death.

After a while, Qing'an came in again hurriedly: "Young Master..."

He was already impatient: "What's wrong?"

"Fu Xian is here, saying something happened in the capital."

His hand holding the pen suddenly paused, and he immediately said, "Let him in!"

Fu Xian came in hurriedly.

"What happened?!"

Fu Xian immediately clasped his fists and said, "Young Madam's caravan left the capital yesterday, and I discovered that they also secretly took Princess Xuan away."

His expression suddenly changed: "What about the young lady?!"

Fu Xian was stunned for a moment before he said blankly, "Young Madam, she's in the mansion."

Xie Xianyu's clenched heart finally let out a sigh of relief and calmed down: "Oh."
