Chapter 108 One punch can kill a bull
This woman, who was always gentle, dignified, and poised, suddenly became wild, putting her hands on her hips and spitting out barrages of words like spitting out melon seeds, which shocked everyone.
Finally, the magistrate slammed his gavel and found the group guilty.
Seeing that she had won, Wen Shuwan laughed happily, her laughter so unrestrained that her eyebrows curved and her cute little tiger teeth were revealed.
All of this was observed by Xie Linyuan, who was there on business.
A ray of bright yellow sunlight, as if favoring her, shone precisely on this woman, bringing a vibrant and eye-catching touch to this gloomy and suffocating courtroom.
A smile unconsciously crept onto Xie Linyuan's lips. He thought, "This must be what the ancients meant by 'still as a virgin, swift as a rabbit.' It's rather endearing."
His heart began to pound faster, and he later learned that this was the sound of his heart.
Later, the Xu family came to cause trouble for the Wen family's pastry shop several times, but Xie Linyuan secretly blocked them each time.
Around the corner not far from the pastry shop, a tall, handsome man often sits on horseback, instructing his servants to buy pastries to take back to his younger siblings.
One day, Lin Ruoxue suddenly appeared in front of him and loudly invited him to a banquet, saying that all the unmarried men and women in the city would be there.
Xie Linyuan coldly rejected Lin Ruoxue, but after the business was over that day, he still turned his horse around and headed towards the banquet.
Fortunately, I went that day.
Fortunately, I saved you.
Xie Linyuan said this.
Wen Shuwan lowered her head, belatedly realizing she was feeling a little awkward, her cheeks flushed with immense happiness. "I suddenly remembered I have something to do outside, so I'll go out for a bit."
She lifted her skirt and turned to run away, but the man held her firmly in his arms.
Nothing was said that night; some slept soundly into sweet dreams, while others were caught red-handed and screamed in despair.
The following day, Xie Mianmian finally returned to Wenhua Hall to study after many days.
The Grand Tutor hadn't arrived yet, and the Seventh Prince, with a cold expression, spoke to Xie Mianmian in a casual manner.
"So, it's that force that caused the problem with your body?" The Seventh Prince pursed his lips.
Xie Mianmian lowered her head guiltily, touching her two index fingers together and colliding them little by little.
Strange, how could the Seventh Prince deduce the truth from these seemingly unrelated words?
"If you have any problems in the future, feel free to come to me. We can solve them together."
"But……"
Seeing that the child was still trying to refuse, the Seventh Prince poked her cheek hard, creating a dimple.
The Sixth Princess slapped his hand away, saying, "You are my personal tutor, let's see who dares to bully you." As she spoke, she glanced at the Seventh Prince.
"Ahem, my information network is still quite extensive." The Sixth Princess straightened her back proudly and looked at Xie Mianmian, saying, "I'll tell you something that you'll definitely find interesting."
"Minister Lin has been imprisoned," the Seventh Prince said abruptly, arms crossed.
"Ah!" The Sixth Princess was furious. Why did he always interrupt her? She really wanted to put this old man-like Seventh Brother in a sack and give him a good beating.
"Oh, that's great!" Xie Mianmian clapped her hands in surprise. "Then will he be released?"
The Sixth Princess spoke first: "The evidence is conclusive. The Xu family has testified against him, and their secret correspondence is irrefutable. Minister Lin has colluded with salt merchants to smuggle weapons. The evidence is conclusive. He should be severely punished, as this is a capital offense of treason."
After saying that, she gestured towards the Seventh Prince with her lip, as if to say, "You can't beat me this time, can you?"
Ha, the Seventh Prince didn't want to say such a long thing in the first place.
The method of summoning the ants to exchange the disaster relief food for it that night worked!
Xie Mianmian clapped her hands until they were red. Great! Mianmian's previous efforts had paid off. The bad guy who tried to frame her family had finally been brought to justice.
As long as she can protect her beloved family, Xie Mianmian feels it's all worth it, no matter how much suffering she endures.
A hand pulled the child's wrist away, stopping her from clapping excitedly; it was the Seventh Prince.
"Foolish." He shoved a cup of cooled tea into Xie Mianmian's hand.
The Grand Tutor arrived, and everyone returned to their seats.
The celadon cups and saucers provided a comfortable coolness, relieving the burning sensation in Xie Mianmian's palms. She was still immersed in the joy of successfully taking down the bad guys, grinning broadly.
Suddenly, an old voice came from above, "Miss Xie, what is so funny? Tell me and make this old man happy."
Xie Mianmian pulled her front teeth back, raised her little face, and looked at the Grand Tutor with innocent big eyes.
The Grand Tutor felt a pang of tenderness; she was so adorable that he couldn't bring himself to hit her or scold her.
The long day finally came to an end. Xie Mianmian ran excitedly to Dengke Corridor. After holding it in all day, she was still incredibly excited to share this joy with her family.
But this time, it was the nanny who came to pick her up. Xie Mianmian scratched her head, somewhat confused, but still obediently got into the carriage.
Perhaps they were too busy to come.
Upon returning to the Xie residence, Xie Mianmian was led to the main hall by her nanny.
She noticed that her father had also returned. Everyone was sitting upright, looking serious and worried. Hadn't something wonderful happened? Why did everyone look so unhappy?
The hall was quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The air felt like frozen ice, suffocating and devoid of color. Despite it being the height of summer, stepping into the hall sent a chill down my spine.
Xie Mianmian ran to her second sister's side and silently tugged at her sleeve. What happened?
Xie Mingyi stroked the child's face and sighed.
The cups and saucers landed on the table with a crisp sound, breaking the tense atmosphere.
Mr. Xie said in a deep voice, "You'd better think this through. This isn't a trip for fun; one wrong move and you could lose your life."
Xie Huaijin got up and walked to his father. He deftly lifted his clothes and knelt down on the ground, his knees hitting the ground with a thud.
Xie Mianmian let out a gasp and tried to run over.
I don't know what wrong my third brother did, but let's talk it out. If he can't win, I'm willing to take the punishment for him. Mianmian's bottom is thick enough, I'm not afraid of being hit.
But Xie Mingyi held him tightly by the shoulders, making it impossible for him to move an inch.
“I have thought it through. A true man should protect his country. I will definitely drive back the pirates and restore peace to the coastal people. I hope my father will grant my request.”
Xie Huaijin knelt before his father, his forehead touching the cold stone slab, the altar clear and bright.
He knew what he was doing: he was protecting the sea his father had protected, protecting the innocent people, and protecting his family.
Xie's father said, "Do you know that these are not the loose pirates of the past, but organized and premeditated Japanese pirates?"
"Know."
That's why we have to stand up. If the enemy wants to take advantage of this opportunity to attack the capital, then they'll have to step over us.
Silence fell again.
“I know my third brother isn’t a reckless person; this decision must have been made after careful consideration.” Xie Mingyi smiled sadly. “Father, don’t worry. He’s highly skilled in martial arts; he could kill a bull with one punch. He’ll be fine…”
