Chapter 311 This matter must be investigated!
Xie Yuru is here.
If she came at a normal time, Xie Zhan would naturally not welcome her and would directly turn her away. But now that Xie Cheng had passed away, Xie Yuru, as his daughter, had come back to attend the funeral, so naturally he had to let her in.
Xie Yao and Xie Zhan looked at each other and nodded slightly, "Let's put him in the coffin."
Then the two of them went to the front yard.
In the courtyard filled with mourning, Xie Yao caught sight of a gorgeous figure at first sight. At first glance, Xie Yao was a little dazed.
Xie Yuru...didn't hide anything at all.
She was dressed in a pink brocade dress and covered in gold and silver jewellery, continuing her previous style. She looked more like she was attending a wedding banquet than a funeral.
She knew Xie Yuru was stupid, but...
Not only did Xie Yao and Xie Zhan have strange expressions, but all the servants of the Xie family around them also looked at Xie Yuru with something strange in their eyes.
Is it really okay to dress so ostentatiously on a day like today?
Xie Yuru naturally felt everyone's gazes. She raised her chin slightly with a slightly proud expression.
They all looked at her, and they must have been shocked by her beauty.
Xie Yuru snorted softly, her eyes fell on Xie Yao and Xie Zhan, "I'm here to see Daddy!"
She looked at Xie Yao and Xie Zhan with deep suspicion in her eyes, "Daddy has always been in good health, but this time he suddenly had an accident..."
She came here to cause trouble.
Xie Yao and Xie Zhan already had this idea in their minds, and when they heard Xie Yuru say this, their idea was immediately confirmed.
"Third sister." Xie Zhan hesitated and whispered, "I have already had someone investigate this matter. What happened to my father... was just an accident."
"Humph!" Xie Yuru was already suspicious, and now she looked at Xie Zhan's hesitation and his attempt to cover up something, which made it even more obvious that there was something wrong with him. She became even more suspicious, "Xie Zhan, don't try to fool me."
"You know what you have done. Now that your father is in trouble, I will not let it go!" Xie Yuru felt that he had caught Xie Yao and Xie Zhan's weakness, and he was very proud of himself.
"If you can't give me a satisfactory explanation, I don't mind reporting this to the police and making a big fuss about this matter so that everyone will know your true colors!"
"I will get to the bottom of this matter!"
When she said this, her eyes were fixed on Xie Yao, with strong malice hidden in her eyes.
Who made Xie Yao not help her at the beginning?
Now that she has caught me, she will definitely not let it go.
“Third sister…” Xie Zhan whispered, “We are all family, so let’s just forget it…”
"Family?" Xie Yuru looked as if she had heard something ridiculous, her eyes full of sarcasm, "You didn't think of me as a family member at first, but now you think of me as a family member?"
“Too late!”
Xie Yuru was very proud at this moment. Although the Second Prince was under house arrest, she still brought people with her today.
Xie Yao and Xie Zhan wanted to cover her mouth?
impossible!
Her eyes fell on Xie Yao, and there were only two words in them: Beg her!
"Third sister." Xie Zhan continued, "The past is the past, but this time..."
“It’s not over yet!” Seeing Xie Zhan retreating again and again, Xie Yuru became more and more agitated and said in a loud voice: “I will never let my father die with regrets! As his daughter, I want justice for him!”
"Father worked hard all his life to raise us. You don't care about it, but I will never let father go in vain!"
In addition to the Xie family, many people have come to pay their respects.
Although Xie Cheng had retired from the court for a long time, he still had a daughter who was the Crown Princess, and Xiao Ji's current status was extraordinary, so naturally he had to give him face.
Xie Yuru spoke with great righteousness, and after he finished speaking, he looked at the guests who came to pay their respects and said, "Please be my witnesses."
this……
Everyone looked at each other and no one spoke.
No matter why Xie Yuru said this, they would not help to step on the Crown Princess at this time.
Besides, Xie Yuru was adorned with gold and jade, and wore a peach-pink dress at the funeral, which was not even superficial.
And Xie Yao was wearing plain clothes and no jewelry, so one could tell who was more thoughtful at a glance.
Everyone was silent, and a hint of annoyance flashed in Xie Yuru's eyes.
Then he said: "In short, my attitude is clear. If you can't give me an explanation, I will report it to the Dali Temple and investigate the case thoroughly."
Based on Xie Zhan's attitude today, she was 100% sure that there was something wrong with her father's death. And the reason why she hadn't reported it to the police yet was to give Xie Yao a chance.
I hope Xie Yao won’t be so shameless.
"Third sister." Xie Zhan sighed with difficulty, "Do you...really want to go to this extent?"
Xie Yuru snorted. Are you scared now?
Too late!
"This matter must be investigated!"
After Xie Yuru finished speaking, the whole audience was silent for a moment. Many guests were hesitating whether to leave now...
After all, judging from the way the Crown Princess and the Young Master Xie refused several times, there might be something really going on.
Then it doesn't seem a good idea for them to stay here...
Everyone was thinking this, but their legs seemed to be stuck in place. They all pricked up their ears to listen to the noise, unwilling to leave.
Wouldn't it be a pity to miss such a big event?
Xie Zhan's expression changed, and he finally sighed: "Since Third Sister insists on investigating this matter, I... have no objection."
"Third sister, please follow me to the backyard to discuss this matter in detail..."
"No need." Xie Yuru refused directly, "There is nothing I can't tell others. There is nothing I can't tell others."
"Everyone who has come to pay their respects today is my father's colleague and friend. Everyone has the right to know about my father's affairs. If you have anything to say, please say it here!"
What she wanted was for Xie Yao to express her opinion and get the job done first.
As for what Xie Zhan said? She was too lazy to even listen.
Xie Zhan: What can a little kid do?
Everything she did today was directed at Xie Yao.
She just wanted to let Xie Yao know the consequences of offending her!
"This... isn't good." Xie Zhan hesitated even more, his face full of worry.
"There's nothing wrong with it." Xie Yuru said, "You are so hesitant, it seems that there is indeed something hidden about your father's affairs! If you don't confess the truth, I will immediately send someone to report to the police!"
Xie Zhan was still hesitating.
Xie Yao glanced at Xie Yuru and said, "Since it is your third sister who insisted on saying it in public, just go ahead and say it."
Xie Yuru's heart tightened, and she had a bad feeling when she heard Xie Yao's words.
Xie Yao...actually agreed?
"Yes." But Xie Yao and Xie Zhan did not give Xie Yuru a chance to regret. Xie Zhan agreed. He took a step forward and his whole aura changed.
He no longer had the timid and embarrassed look on his face. "Third sister, uncles, as a son, my father left in a hurry, and I also have doubts in my heart."
“So after the incident, I immediately started to have someone investigate the matter.” Xie Zhan lowered his head, looking self-blaming, “This matter… was done by my brother.”
"Father loves my brother so much that he has asked him to take care of him since he had a stroke. But I didn't expect that my brother would be so confused!" Xie Zhan was very sad. "I am also responsible for not taking good care of him. I..."
Xie Zhan knelt in front of the mourning hall, "I feel so ashamed of my father and my sister."
“What nonsense are you talking about?!” Xie Zhan had finished speaking when Xie Yuru finally reacted and exploded on the spot, “Xie Zhan, what nonsense are you talking about! You’re talking nonsense! You killed my father and slandered my brother, you…”
Xie Yuru rushed forward and was about to attack Xie Zhan.
But before she could get close to Xie Zhan, she was caught.
Xie Yao looked at Xie Yuru with a gloomy look in her eyes, "Have you had enough of the trouble?"
"Xie Yuru, you keep saying that you are sad about your father's death, but look at how you look now."
"In front of the mourning hall, she was dressed in pink, gold and jade, but instead of paying respects to her father or lighting a stick of incense for him, she started making a scene."
"For my father's sake, I don't want to argue with you. If you insist on asking for the truth, I will tell you. But now... what are you going to do?"
Xie Yao questioned repeatedly, and Xie Yuru finally reacted. Her face turned pale instantly.
She, she forgot.
She has been under house arrest along with Xiao Hong recently and has no time to go out. No one appreciates her luxurious clothes in the mansion.
Since she finally got the chance to go out, she naturally wanted to dress up nicely.
At this moment, everyone around looked at Xie Yuru with condemnation in their eyes, and they obviously agreed with what Xie Yao said.
At this moment, a voice rang out from the crowd, "I remembered something... I heard that the scum who murdered his father and this Third Miss are siblings. They are not Mr. Xie's biological children at all. I heard that they were adopted from the Xie family..."
"I see. No wonder you did something like this."
"This is like adopting an ungrateful person..."
"Poor Lord Xie, he suffered such a misfortune... If I were a child of the Xie family, I would never let the murderer go!"
"..." The people around were talking non-stop, and their words were full of contempt for Xie Yuru and Xie Jing. They felt that the reason these two had such poor character was because they were not real children of the Xie family.
Xie Yuru listened to the discussions around her and felt the gazes of the people around her, her cheeks flushed with anger.
Things are not at all like what these people say!
She and her brother are obviously Daddy's children...
And Xie Yao also knew...
Xie Yuru looked towards Xie Yao and Xie Zhan, only to see that Xie Yao was leaning on Zhu Qing at the moment, crying and shaking with her body, as if she had received a great shock.
As for Xie Zhan, he stood aside helplessly, looking at Xie Yao with worry in his eyes, "Sister..."
The siblings' expressions at this moment showed no intention of speaking up for her and her brother or telling the people around them to shut up!
On purpose!
Xie Yao must have done it on purpose!
This realization made Xie Yuru, who was already angry, even angrier. She couldn't help but yell on the spot, "No way! No way!"
"My brother and I are Daddy's children!"
"You know nothing at all!"
After Xie Yuru finished yelling, the whole place fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Xie Yuru in disbelief.
What does this mean?
Meeting the looks of these people, Xie Yuru finally realized what she had just said.
Many people around reacted, and at this moment, they looked at Xie Yuru with shock and contempt in their eyes.
"You, you are talking nonsense!" Xie Yao, who had been crying, finally came to her senses and looked at Xie Yuru in disbelief. "My father has passed away. Don't slander his good name!"
Xie Yao directly refuted, showing an attitude that she didn't believe Xie Yuru at all.
As soon as Xie Yao said this, the attitudes of the people around her who were talking about it immediately changed.
"Oh~ So it's a scam. I said that Mr. Xie and his wife have a deep relationship, how could he do such a thing..."
"That's right, Miss Third, you should be grateful for being adopted. How can you slander Mr. Xie's reputation after his death?"
"Master Xie is gone, let him go in peace..."
Some even cursed in a low voice, "How shameless!"
“…”
When Xie Yuru heard these discussions, she exploded again!
She was clearly telling the truth, but Xie Yao was now going to throw dirty water on her in front of so many people.
The looks from the people around him made Xie Yuru feel uneasy. She could no longer think about it and started shouting, "I'm not talking nonsense! This is the fact. My brother and I are both Daddy's biological children!"
"Daddy said that I am his daughter, and the character for jade is derived from it. He wished me all the best, so he named me Yuru!"
"Xie Jing's name was also chosen by my father himself, from Gao Shan Jing Xing!"
At this point, Xie Yuru looked around. She had been here for so long, why didn't she see Xie Jing?
But before Xie Yuru could ask, she heard a sneer, "Xie Jing...isn't worthy of this name?"
"Gao Shan Jing Xing means a noble character, but the man who killed his father was given this name... Tsk."
“…” The discussion sounded again.
After all, Xie Yuru spoke so confidently that everyone believed it to some extent.
Even Xie Yao seemed to have suffered a huge blow at this moment. She looked at Xie Yuru in disbelief, her lips trembling, "No, it's impossible... Father, he, he..."
"Stop pretending!" Xie Yuru was annoyed by Xie Yao's pretentious attitude, and the comments and looks from people around her made her even more irritated.
"Where is Xie Jing?" Xie Yuru asked, "Where is he now?"
She didn't believe Xie Jing would do such a thing, she wanted Xie Jing to come out and clarify the matter in person! Xie Jing was fine, but she couldn't have such a stain on her.
In the future she will be the mother of the country, so she naturally cannot have a brother who kills his father.
Even if Xie Jing really did this, it couldn't be true.
Xie Zhan glanced at her and said, "Early this morning, when the servants in the mansion found my father's body, they also found Xie Jing who had committed suicide."
At this point, there was naturally no need for Xie Zhan to give face to Xie Jing or cover up anything.
Suicide?
"Impossible!" Xie Yuru immediately shouted, "How could he do that? It was you! You killed him, didn't you?"
"That's enough." Xie Yao had regained her composure at this moment. She interrupted Xie Yuru and said, "Today is my father's funeral. This is my father's mourning hall. How long are you going to make trouble?"
As soon as Xie Yao spoke, the discussions around them quieted down, but everyone looked at Xie Yuru with condemnation in their eyes.
"If you are here to pay tribute to father today, then be quiet. If you are here to cause trouble and want to make father restless in his grave... I will not indulge you!"
"You..." Xie Yuru was about to say something, but Xie Yao gave an order and someone immediately came forward and took Xie Yuru away.
Xie Yao and Xie Zhan stood side by side, looking at the guests who came to pay their respects, and said, "I'm sorry for making you all laugh at what happened today."
Apart from this, Xie Yao didn't say anything else. Smart people would understand what she meant.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
Just then, a sound was heard outside.
Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the voice and bowed, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"No need to be polite." Xiao Ji walked in and went straight to Xie Yao, holding her hand. His eyes were full of concern and his voice became gentle, "What's wrong?"
He saw that her eyes were red, as if she had been crying. Her aggrieved look made his heart tighten and he felt extremely distressed.
Xie Yao cried, she was pretending.
She shook her head at Xiao Ji, but someone had already told him what had just happened, and seemed to be speaking up for the Crown Princess.
As Xiao Ji listened, his expression gradually became ugly, and there was more heartache in his eyes when he looked at Xie Yao.
"She was disrespectful to her elder sister, disrespectful to the Crown Princess, and made a scene in front of the mourning hall... This Third Young Lady is so arrogant!"
"Since she doesn't know the rules, I'll have someone teach her the rules."
Xiao Ji's brows were full of displeasure, and he was obviously angry because of Xie Yuru's actions.
Xie Cheng's body was kept for three days and he was buried in the early morning of the third day.
Xie Yuru was taken directly back to the Xiao residence by the people arranged by Xiao Ji to be taught the rules. It was a rare three days of peace and quiet for her.
In the evening, the guests who came to pay their respects left.
Xie Yao and Xie Zhan were still staying in the mourning hall. Xiao Ji was the crown prince after all, so he only showed up in the morning and then quickly returned to the palace.
It was not until this moment that he left the palace again and arrived at the Xie family.
Seeing Xiao Ji coming in, Xie Zhan immediately stood up and left.
There was no one else in the mourning hall. Xie Yao, who was originally sitting on a chair, stood up and went to greet Xiao Ji, "Your Highness."
Xiao Ji has been feeling a little worried today.
Because when he went up, he saw that the Crown Princess had red eyes and looked very sad. Although he remembered that Xie Cheng seemed to have done something bad, because it involved Xie Yao, Xiao Ji did not remember it clearly.
Besides, there were many people around in the morning and he was in a hurry, so the two of them had no time to talk in detail.
He hurried over after finishing his work, but why did the Crown Princess look like...
Seeing Xiao Ji's silence and confusion, Xie Yao suddenly realized, "Your Highness, have you forgotten?"
Xiao Ji: “…some.”
His memory of Xie Cheng still stayed before he married Xie Yao. He only remembered that his father-in-law and his first wife were very loving.
Xie Yao raised her eyebrows, a look of doubt on her face.
Xiao Ji coughed lightly, his eyes flickering, a little unnatural.
Xie Yao saw through it but didn't say anything. She just said, "Your Highness, don't worry about me. I'm not sad."
In the scene this morning, some of the words Xie Yuru said were said under the guidance of her and Xie Zhan.
For example, tell the life stories of Xie Yuru and Xie Jing.
She was willing to let Xie Cheng's reputation be clear after his death. Besides, what happened today... did not say a single word that wrongly accused Xie Cheng.
As soon as Xie Yuru arrived, she guessed that Xie Yuru might not be content, so she prepared a handkerchief smeared with ginger juice in advance, which is why her eyes were so red.
Of course it was impossible for her to cry for Xie Cheng.
At Xie Cheng's funeral, she was very restrained by not laughing out loud.
Seeing that Xie Yao was serious, Xiao Ji finally put his mind at ease, "That's good."
He only cares about the Crown Princess's mood.
Xie Yao's heart moved, and she asked Xiao Ji, "If I do this... will His Highness think I'm bad?"
Xiao Ji's eyes darkened and he looked at Xie Yao seriously, as if he was thinking about something.
Xie Yao's face gradually turned darker. Does Your Highness really want to think about this?
"No." After a while, Xiao Ji finally answered, "The Crown Princess is very nice."
"If the Crown Princess treats someone badly, it must be that he is bad!" To make Xie Yao treat him like this, Xie Cheng must have done a lot of bad things, and Xiao Ji was not afraid to say these things in his mourning hall.
Hearing this, Xie Yao raised the corners of her lips slightly, "I didn't expect that Your Highness would trust me so much."
"Yeah." Xiao Ji nodded without further explanation.
He believed in Xie Yao and also believed in his vision.
…
And the other side.
Xie Yuru was sent back to Xiao's residence by Xiao Ji's men in the morning, and the first thing she did was to find Xiao Hong.
But there was no one there.
Then she was taught the rules by the palace nanny sent by Xiao Ji for a whole day, and she was finally liberated until the moon rose above the branches.
She was pregnant, so the nanny was naturally very careful in her teaching. It tortured her heart but did not hurt her body.
What's even worse is that there was a doctor next to the nanny. As soon as she said she was not feeling well, the doctor would immediately check her pulse...
So much so that she didn't have a moment's rest today.
Xie Yuru walked to Xiao Hong's yard with tired steps. As soon as she arrived, she heard the sound of playing in the house.
Xie Yuru clenched her fists and a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.
She naturally knew who was the person staying in the house with Xiao Hong, a vixen.
She was brought back by the guards in the palace a few days ago to serve Your Highness. Her features and eyebrows look somewhat like Xie Yao.
Since she entered the palace, she has used some unknown means to make His Highness obsessed with her.
Even the love and care for her and her unborn child were taken away!
Xie Yuru took a deep breath and walked directly into the house, "Your Highness..."
"Madam Ru." Before Xie Yuru entered the room, she was stopped by the maid standing outside the door. "Our Madam is accompanying His Highness. I advise you not to go in. His Highness doesn't want to see you now. You, ah, are bringing shame upon yourself..."
Bang!
Xie Yuru raised her hand and slapped the maid in the face, "Get lost! How dare you, a slut like you, bully this lady?!"
Xie Yuru pushed open the door and her eyes turned red when she saw the scene inside the room!
Xiao Hong's wounds from the last whipping had not fully healed yet, and he was lying on the bed at the moment, and that little fox, she actually sat on His Highness...
Xiao Hong closed her eyes and didn't notice anyone breaking in. Jiujiu, on the other hand, looked up at her, with sarcasm flashing in her eyes and contempt on her face.
Xie Yuru's chest heaved violently and she was about to explode with anger.
She suffered so much injustice outside, but His Highness had a beautiful woman in his arms and didn't care about her at all!
And this little vixen, it’s fine that she seduced His Highness away, but she’s just a bitch, who the hell does she think she is? How dare you look down on her?
If this bitch didn't have the support, would the little bitch outside the door dare to talk to her with that attitude just now?
In anger, Xie Yuru quickly stepped forward, raised her hand and slapped Jiujiu in the face!
Bang!
The sound is clear and loud.
Jiujiu fell to one side, but before she cried out in pain, another person cried out in pain first!
"Ah!" Xiao Hong cried out in pain, his eyes filled with anger!
"Your Highness." Jiujiu exclaimed, and quickly pulled the quilt to cover her body, kneeling on the bed with a wronged look on her face, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, Your Highness, don't blame Sister Ru..."
When she said this, Xiao Hong saw her swollen cheek with clear fingerprints.
Xie Yuru was also shocked when she saw Xiao Hong's appearance, but when she saw Jiujiu's aggrieved and pitiful appearance, and heard her accusation, she was immediately furious, "Little bitch, you-ah!"
