Chapter 234 Resigning

Mrs. Xie, who had just fallen asleep, woke up at the call of Mother Sun, whose tone was filled with anxiety.

"The young lady asked Dongxue to come and tell this servant that she will take the master to Lingnan to recuperate tomorrow."

Mrs. Xie, who was still a little sleepy at first, brightened up after hearing this: "Going to Lingnan to recuperate?"

Mother Sun nodded and said, "Also, let the Second Master resign from his post to the court."

Madam Xie became even more spirited upon hearing this. She calmed down for a while before saying, "Although it's not easy for Xie Jing to reach his current position, if he brings both honor and harm to the Xie family, it would be better for him to resign and give the Xie family some time to recover."

"Yes, after all, we still have the Fourth Master." When Madam Sun mentioned Xie Yi, something flashed in her eyes. She suddenly said, "Old Madam, when the eldest daughter sent the Fourth Master to the battle, did she already guess that the Master would be so unreliable?"

Old Madam Xie thought about Xie Yi's current status, and then looked at Xie Jing's confused attitude, and sighed again.

"Old Madam, you see the eldest daughter is planning for the Xie family, so don't overthink it." Mother Sun was also relieved. "Even if the master resigns, there is still the Fourth Master. After all, having two officials, civil and military, in the court does arouse fear. Now that the master has taken the initiative to resign, let everyone know the attitude of the Xie family, so as to avoid being targeted."

"You're right." Old Madam Xie's eyes finally showed some spirit. "Rongying is always more thoughtful than I am. Now that the second son is back and Xie Jing has left Bianjing, no one will be watching the Xie family all the time. This will give the Xie family a good opportunity to ease the situation. Now is a troubled time, a troubled time."

Although Old Madam Xie stayed in the backyard of the Xie Mansion every day, she was well aware of the situation in the court and Bianliang.

The Xie family must not get involved in this mess.

"Leaving Bianjing is fine, leaving is fine." As Mrs. Xie spoke, she seemed to have thought of something else: "But why did Rongying want to go to Lingnan?"

"Old lady, have you forgotten that last time you said there was a business in Lingnan that the second master had never been able to get, and the second young master went to Lingnan first. Didn't you want the eldest daughter to go to Lingnan?" Mother Sun explained.

Mrs. Xie finally remembered. She gently patted the quilt with one hand and said, "Look how angry I am today because of that rebellious son!"

The next day, at the end of the Mao hour.

There were four carriages parked in front of the gate of Xie's mansion, and many maids and servants were moving things into the carriages at the back.

After the weather turned completely cold, Xie Rongying walked out of the gate of Xie Mansion wearing a snow-white cloak, holding a warm stove in her hand, and glanced sideways at Xie Jing, who had a cold face.

However, Xie Jing did not look at Xie Rongying. He walked down the stone steps and got on the carriage followed by Bai Lin. Bai Lin also got on the carriage.

Xie Rongying watched Xie Rongying get on the carriage before walking towards his own carriage.

"Master." Gu Xun stepped forward and said, "I have given orders. Half of the people will stay to guard the Xie family, and the other half will follow us to Lingnan."

"Does your sister know that you are going to Lingnan with me?" Xie Rongying asked.

Gu Xun nodded: "The message has been sent to Wanmiao Village."

Xie Rongying nodded: "That's fine, don't let her worry too much."

"I understand." Gu Xun said, and watched Xie Rongying get on the carriage.

Dongxue and Cuizhi also got on the carriage.

As usual, Gu Xun was still the one driving the horses.

The carriage drove away from the street in front of Xie's mansion and headed towards the city gate.

As the New Year approaches, Bianjing is unexpectedly sunny every day, and the clear blue sky every day always makes people ignore the fact that it is the coldest time of the year.

Xie Rongying, who was in the carriage, was looking at the letter she had received the day before from Xie Changfeng, who was far away in Lingnan.

She smiled faintly and put the letter away nonchalantly.

Since Xie Changfeng went to Lingnan, he noticed the presence of the Shangguan family in the Lingnan area.

Bianjing had undergone tremendous changes. Shangguan Yan, who was far away in Longxi, not only had no intention of going to Bianjing, but instead went to Lingnan.

If Xie Rongying guessed correctly, Shangguan Yan's purpose of going to Lingnan was the same as that of the Xie family.

However, the Xie family had not reported the matter to the court before confirming it, while Shangguan Yan had already decided that he wanted to keep it for himself.

It seems that the thing in Lingnan has been identified by Shangguan Yan, and Shangguan Yan is one step ahead of the Xie family.

Qin Junyi, who fled from Bian Jing, had nowhere to go and could only find a place to breathe with Shangguan Yan.

It was originally thought that the plan was to send Qin Junyi and Shangguan Jing to the palace, and both of them would die in the palace.

Who knew that Emperor Ren De would give these two a chance to live.

Whenever Xie Rongying thought that Qin Junyi was still alive in some corner of this world, and that Qin Junyi was planning to take revenge on her in some corner, she felt aggrieved.

Since the outcome was destined to be a fight to the death, how could she possibly wait in Bian Jing for Qin Junyi to make a comeback and grow stronger?

"Miss." Dongxue looked at the letter in Xie Rongying's hand that was twisted into a ball and reminded her carefully: "Miss, don't use too much force. Your injury has not healed yet."

As she spoke, Dongxue took the letter from Xie Rongying's hand and continued, "My Lord just wanted to say goodbye to the old lady, but the old lady didn't see me."

Xie Rongying knew that Xie Jing had many complaints against her, so she sneered, "Who wants to bother with him?"

"Taking the lord away from Bian Jing this time is the best strategy," Dong Xue said.

Xie Rongying raised her eyebrows slightly: "I hope to hear the news of the complete change in Dayin before I arrive in Lingnan."

Xie Rongying knew King Wei's plan. Today's Dayin was only an internal threat to King Wei. Feng Huai at the border was King Wei's man, and King Wei was clear about the Xie family's attitude.

There is no possibility that Emperor Ren De will wake up, the prince is stupid and evil.

How could the King of Wei let go of such a good opportunity?

At the same time, in the Prince of Wei’s mansion.

Chang Ning hurried to the study, knocked on the door, and walked in without waiting for King Wei's voice.

"Master." Chang Ning's voice was filled with anxiety: "Master Zou is in trouble!"

Zhao Yu raised his eyes, his brows furrowed tightly: "Something happened?"

"Just now, Master Zou's son sent a message saying that Master Zou hanged himself in his study." Chang Ning said solemnly, "Master, it seems that the Crown Prince is not as simple as we thought. Also, Miss Xie has left Bianjing with Xie Jing."
