Chapter 266 Stealing a letter, I can wipe out four families

Xie Xiangxiang was already half-dead when she saw her mother faint and covered in blood, and she was immediately shocked and frightened.

Seeing the blood all over his head, he didn't know why, but suddenly started vomiting violently.

Liu Ying hurriedly helped her up, and Ying Zhu and Xu's head maid, Duo'er, carried Xu into the house together.

"Madam, what's wrong?" Yingzhu pinched Xu's philtrum, and it took a while for her to recover.

Seeing Xie Xiangxiang's sallow complexion and tearful eyes, Madam Xu held her hand and comforted her, "Xiangxiang, don't be afraid, your mother is fine. I just fell and bumped my head."

If it weren't for Gu Chengyan's incident, Xie Xiangxiang wouldn't be so stupid. She had already examined the wound and cried, "Mother, this wound on your head wasn't from a fall, was it? How can you fall on both sides? Tell me, did Father hit you? Or did Grandmother have someone hit you?"

Mrs. Xu shook her head, saying that she had knocked herself over.

Xie Xiangxiang said angrily, "Mother, I know even if you don't say it. How could I have tripped and fallen like this while walking normally? Someone must have hit me."

My mother treated my two sisters and me, and my father and grandmother, all equally, but apart from the fact that we were born of the principal wife, we were treated the same as illegitimate children in every way.

"Don't talk nonsense, Xiangxiang, everything will be alright."

"Okay? If it's okay, can you not let me into the house? Father and grandmother both favor Xie Yu and Xie Zhaozhao. Just watch, sooner or later I will... Mother, why don't you and Father get a divorce? The sooner the better."

"Why?" Mrs. Xu asked curiously.

"I want the Xie family to be destroyed, my grandmother, father, and Xie Yu to all lose their heads, and my second and third uncles' families to go to the underworld. Everyone in the Xie family who has wronged me will also lose their heads."

Xie Xiangxiang gritted her teeth, and faced with Xu Shi, who was at a loss as to how to destroy the Xie family, she suddenly felt a little tempted.

"Xiangxiang, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't say such rebellious things again. I will not divorce your father. Your younger brother is still young, and I will protect him as he grows up."

“My brother? He can’t be relied on…” Xie Xiangxiang suddenly hesitated.

In his previous life, Xie Jin was a complete scoundrel, indulging in drinking, gambling, whoring, and lying. He colluded with his second uncle, indulging in a life of debauchery, and eventually died in a den of iniquity called "Heaven on Earth."

In this life, Xie Jin was raised by her grandmother, who was said to be very strict with her and no longer on their side.

Furthermore, the concept of "Heaven on Earth" did not appear in this lifetime.

Seeing that she was holding her head and muttering to herself, and seemed somewhat delirious, Xu quickly hugged her to comfort her.

"Xiangxiang, let your mother find you another good family. You are a young woman with a generous dowry. I will go back and ask your father and grandmother to help you choose a good family."

"Hahaha, a virgin? How can I still be a virgin?" Xie Xiangxiang said somewhat maniacally, "Mother, I am no longer a virgin!"

Madam Xu assumed that she and Gu Chengyan had already consummated their marriage and cursed, "Gu Chengyan is a villain! Burning him to death is too lenient for him!"

Xie Xiangxiang couldn't talk about what happened that night in Nanshan; it was a shameful, unbearable night.

But Xie Zhaozhao escaped. So many women in the Earl's mansion were ruined, so why did Xie Zhaozhao escape?

I hate it so much!

“Mother, I hate the Xie family, I hate Xie Zhaozhao, I want to kill them all,” Xie Xiangxiang said with red eyes. “I have a way to wipe them all out.”

Madam Xu knew that she was jealous of Xie Zhaozhao, just like herself, who had been jealous of Xu Zhiyan all her life. She hated her in her own family and hated her even more in her husband's family. This hatred lasted a lifetime.

It's hateful as it may be, but it's incredibly difficult to get away unscathed after committing murder.

She said calmly, "Catch them all in one fell swoop? Don't talk nonsense!"

Xie Xiangxiang glanced at the maid standing beside her and said, "My mother and I have something to say. You may leave."

The three maids went out and hid in the courtyard.

“Mother, whether you believe it or not, I still stand by what I said before: I have truly been reborn.”

Mrs. Xu had been listening to this for a year, but now she no longer believed it.

Xie Zhaozhao did not become a widow, and Gu Shaoyu did not die. The two were deeply in love. If it weren't for the fear of her rapid rise in rank, Gu Shaoyu would probably have wanted to request Xie Zhaozhao to be granted a super-rank imperial title.

Xie Xiangxiang was certain that Gu Chengyan would be promoted to Duke of Yi, while that man would lose his position as heir apparent, become a eunuch, and be as dead as could be!

Rebirth was just a beautiful dream for Xie Xiangxiang.

"Mother, everything has changed because of two people who shouldn't exist in this life: Gu Shaoyu, who should have died but didn't, and a concubine who inexplicably appeared next to Gu Chengyan."

In his previous life, Gu Chengyan made a fortune by taking advantage of the Grand Canal project and a natural earthquake, becoming the richest man in Dagan. Later, he was rewarded for his meritorious service to the emperor and was granted the title of Duke of Yi.

Xie Xiangxiang's eyes were bloodshot. "I can turn everything back on track. One letter, once I get that letter, I can take the lives of the Prince Jing's Mansion and the entire Xie family."

Ms. Xu asked, "You keep mentioning a letter, what is it? Where is it?"

“Mother, this letter is in Father’s study. There is a portrait of Xu Zhiyan in the study, and under the portrait is a long table with an incense burner. Behind the long table is a hidden compartment. There is a secret letter hidden there.”

In her previous life, it was Gu Chengyan who asked her to steal that letter.

"Xiangxiang, your father's study is impregnable. How did you get in and search it?"

"In the previous life, Aunt Qu's son was poisoned to death by Tingting, who then framed Xie Zhaozhao. However, her father protected Xie Zhaozhao and did not pursue the matter. Aunt Qu hated her father so much that she kept giving him slow-acting poison every day."

Father was poisoned and passed out; Mother, go to the study and find that letter.

However, Xu stole the letter and was caught by Xie Yu. Both she and Aunt Qu were beaten to death.

Xu is a good mother; in both her past and present lives, she has devoted herself wholeheartedly to Xie Xiangxiang.

Xu found Xie Xiangxiang's words unbelievable, yet she inexplicably held onto hope: "And then?"

"Later, I gave that letter to Gu Chengyan, and he helped me destroy the Prince Jing's mansion."

"Isn't the Prince Jing's residence your husband's family?"

“I don’t get along with Zhou Lingyin. He’s been filling the backyard with women. Those wretches don’t respect me. I’ve been disciplining them according to family rules, but Princess Consort Kang has kicked us all out of the palace.”

Xie Xiangxiang recalled everything from her past life, and even though it was so far away, she still hated it to the core.

"I met Gu Chengyan. He was so gentle and considerate. He told me that as long as I got a letter, he would help me deal with everyone in the Prince Jing's mansion. Later, I got the letter and gave it to him..."

Mrs. Xu asked anxiously, "How is it?"

"The entire Prince Jing's mansion was imprisoned, and my father, Xie Yu, and grandmother were all implicated."

"And then? What about me and Tingting? What about your brother?"

"I don't know. The mansion was in chaos. I was beaten to death by Zhou Lingyin's concubine. When I woke up, I was back on the Shangsi Festival of last year."

The fates of Xu Shi, Tingting, and Xie Jin cannot be revealed for now, otherwise Xu Shi would definitely object.

She didn't see the end of the Xie family before she died, but that letter must have contained an extremely important secret, and the Xie family would not have a good end.

"Mother, that letter alone could wipe out the Prince Jing's Mansion, the Xie family, the Gu family, and the Liu family!"

Mrs. Xu was trembling with excitement. If there really was such a letter, it would be so satisfying to wipe out all the people she hated!

Receiving the letter meant she had exceeded expectations.

"Xiangxiang, think back, what did that letter look like?"
