Chapter 62 Justice

Looking at her trembling appearance, Xiao Jue smiled: "Does Miss Second wish for me to have seen him before, or not?"

"Your Highness, I don't understand what you mean. I just haven't seen my elder sister for a long time, so I came to ask. I hope Your Highness will do me a favor." Xie Hanyue looked timid, but she didn't miss a single word.

Xiao Jue gave a cold snort: "What are you? You think you're worthy of my favor? Get lost!"

"You!" Xie Hanyue looked at Xiao Jue in disbelief.

She had heard before that Xiao Jue had changed since he was injured, becoming twisted and sinister, but she never expected him to be so arrogant.

He was clearly a good-for-nothing, but when he sat there, he exuded a powerful aura. Even though Xie Hanyue was unconvinced, she didn't dare to take a step forward.

Finally, Madam Qin came out and saw Xie Hanyue with so many people watching. She immediately understood what was going on. Her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she coldly asked, "Where is Madam Wang?"

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Seeing so many people around, Wang instinctively felt that it must be related to her, so she hurriedly walked over. When she heard someone calling her, she pushed through the crowd and walked over.

"It would be good if Madam Wang were here. Lord Xie, Madam, please come with me." Madam Qin's voice was calm, but it carried a hint of gritted teeth.

Xie Yankang had no idea what had happened inside. Seeing Qin Shi like this, he subconsciously felt that it couldn't be anything good.

"But what happened to my sister?" Xie Hanyue immediately stepped forward and asked impatiently.

Qin Shi originally didn't want to say anything more, but after hearing these words, she could no longer bear it.

"Second Miss, this is the Prime Minister's residence. What could possibly happen to the Eldest Miss?"

"You keep talking about trouble, misleading everyone. What exactly do you mean by that?"

Qin was the lawfully wedded daughter-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Even though the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is not as glorious as it used to be, her abilities have not diminished in the slightest.

All those present today are ladies who have cultivated themselves into shrewd women in the inner quarters. Once these words are spoken, who can understand anything?

The way everyone looked at Xie Hanyue changed. After this incident, it was likely that good families of similar social standing would no longer consider Xie Hanyue. With her character, marrying her would only cause trouble.

The worst thing for the inner quarters is trouble.

They certainly wouldn't create trouble for themselves.

Xie Yankang glanced at Xie Hanyue: "Alright, stop talking nonsense and get back to the banquet!"

After saying that, Xie Yankang pulled Wang Shi inside.

Seeing Xie Qingran lying on the bed covered in blood, Xie Yankang froze on the spot. The air was still filled with the smell of blood, which also made Wang Shi feel frightened.

What happened?

Madam Wang stared in disbelief at Xie Qingran on the bed, then glanced at the Prime Minister's wife beside her.

"Madam Wang, that's an excellent question. We also want to know what's going on, and we'd like to know how our Prime Minister's residence has offended your Xie family, causing you to act so recklessly time and time again!"

"Now, they've actually done such a despicable thing in my Prime Minister's residence! Do they really think we, the Prime Minister's residence, are easy to bully!"

The Prime Minister's wife shouted angrily, and then immediately presented all the witnesses and evidence. This matter was indeed done by Xie Hanyue, and there was no denying it.

The fact that these things were collected so quickly is all thanks to Xiao Jue outside; his men are incredibly efficient.

This...this?

Xie Yankang had always known that Xie Hanyue disliked Xie Qingran and that she always bullied Xie Qingran at home. But to Xie Yankang, this was just a trivial matter concerning young girls. However, he never expected that it would escalate to this point.

"How dare she! This child is far too unruly! Don't worry, Madam, we will definitely teach her a lesson when we get back!"

Xie Yankang immediately realized what was happening and put on an angry expression.

The Prime Minister's wife waved her hand dismissively and said indifferently, "How your Xie family disciplines your daughter is your own business and has nothing to do with our Prime Minister's residence. However, your daughter has repeatedly provoked our Prime Minister's residence and even used such dirty tricks in our home. How should this be settled?"

The Xie family's affairs have nothing to do with the Prime Minister's residence, but Xie Hanyue's affairs are closely related to the Prime Minister's residence!

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Madam Wang felt a wave of dizziness and immediately knelt on the ground: "It's all my fault for not properly educating my daughters. I will definitely bring my daughters to apologize in person in the future. However, this matter concerns the innocence of my two daughters, so I beg you, Madam, to be lenient and not let this matter be made public!"

"That's excellent."

"The young lady is weak and cannot move for the time being, so you should all go back first!"

This time, the Prime Minister's wife didn't seek their opinions; instead, she chose to make the decision directly.

Even though Xie Yankang and Wang Shi were unwilling, they had no right to refuse under the current circumstances and could only reluctantly agree.

In fact, Xie Qingran had woken up quite early, wanting to see how her parents would handle the matter. However, she never expected that the two of them would instinctively protect Xie Hanyue. At this point, Xie Qingran's heart turned completely cold.

After they all left, Xie Qingran silently opened her eyes, her expression blank.

"Miss, please don't be like this. If you're feeling uncomfortable, just cry. I won't tell anyone."

Baozhu knelt beside Xie Qingran, heartbroken.

Xie Qingran struggled to sit up, looked at the wound on her thigh, and after confirming that it was alright, said calmly, "It wasn't a big deal to begin with. I'm used to it. Why should I cry?"

"Miss, the master and madam are so biased."

"You're my biological daughter, how can I treat you like this?"

Baozhu's face was full of resentment. She couldn't swallow this humiliation and became angrier the more she thought about it.

"Ever since I was sent to the estate, I have known that I have no parents or family, and I can only rely on myself for the rest of my life."

"They're just confirming this with me, so what's there to be upset about?"

"Since they won't give me justice, I'll give myself justice myself."

Xie Qingran gave a cold snort, her eyes flashing with icy coldness and hatred.

"You're quite calm."
