Chapter 012 Chapter 12

After entering the room, Xue Chen winked at Hu Sheng and asked him to go outside to guard.

Sister-in-law said to Xie Zhang: "Zhanglang, you go out too. I want to talk to my uncle alone."

Xue Chen and the system fell into silence.

After a while, the system said: [She did it on purpose.]

Xue Chen: [Yes.]

Xie Zhang went out reluctantly. Before leaving, he wanted to open the door, but his sister-in-law gave him a look that made him dare not act rashly and closed the door obediently.

"I've been married for some time, but this is the first time I meet you. You may not have heard of me before. My name is Wen Yu. After you were injured, I took care of the Xie family's business. I don't want to be just a woman in the inner house. You don't seem willing to stay in the mansion and be controlled by Xie Zhang. Don't call me sister-in-law, just call me by my name." Wen Yu has a cheerful personality and is not shy at all. "Is your leg really broken?"

Xue Chen said lightly, "The injury is on the back, I'm afraid it will never heal."

Wen Yu said, "He is jealous of others. He doesn't have any ability, but he can't stand others doing things well. He is petty and indecisive. He offends many people on weekdays. When he really takes action, he shrinks back and leaves troubles. If it were me, I would definitely not let you live until now."

Xue Chen smiled slightly, "You know everything."

"Since I live here, of course I have to make things clear." Wen Yu picked up the scissors, adjusted the wick on the table, and cut off the overgrown part. "I just don't know, are you coming back this time to seek justice and expose Xie Zhang's dirty deeds to the public, or to snatch his family property?"

Xue Chen: "It seems that you don't have much feelings for him."

Wen Yu was unexpectedly frank: "I have a strong personality since I was a child, and I was restricted at home. The reason I married here is just because I saw that the Xie family was in decline and Xie Zhang was incompetent and easy to manipulate. Feelings... He is not worthy of my true love."

Xue Chen: "It seems inappropriate for you to say this the first time we meet."

Wen Yu put down the scissors, her expression turned cold: "Didn't you write that letter?"

This must have been done by Gong Jiu's people.

He knew that Gong Jiu would provide some extra help, but he didn't expect that the one who helped him would be Xie Zhang's bedmate.

However, in order to avoid unnecessary suspicion, Xue Chen admitted: "I wrote it."

Wen Yu: "You had the opportunity to leave and live your own life away from the Xie family. You are a smart person. You must have something to rely on when you come back at this time."

Xue Chen said nothing.

Wen Yu: "Okay, now tell me your purpose."

Xue Chen: "I will kill Xie Zhang."

Wen Yu raised his eyebrows: "Just that? Nothing else?"

Xue Chen smiled: "I have found my own place. As you said, I don't want to be restricted by the Xie family anymore. Those worldly things are meaningless to me. But you, without Xie Zhang, will have a lot more trouble."

Wen Yu: "Do you think I can be at ease with Xie Zhang around? If he couldn't stand you back then, can he stand me now? This person sees that others do things easily, so he thinks he can do it too. He racks his brains to get involved in business matters. If he really has the ability, it would be fine, but every time he takes action, he makes trouble. He turns around and puts all the blame on me, making noises all day long and making me restless.

"Aren't all of you men like this? You can't stand seeing women being powerful. You feel ashamed when you are slightly compared to them. But you don't think it's your own incompetence, but instead it's someone else's fault. The less capable a man is, the more he likes to take it out on women. If he couldn't beat me and if he couldn't bear to give up the Wen family as his backer, there would be no place for me in this family. It's better for him to die, so that he won't do anything behind my back and make me end up like you, which would be too late for regret."

Xue Chen could see that Wen Yu was not as cold and heartless as she said, otherwise how could Xie Zhang be alive today?

Xue Chen: "That's great, then hand him over to me. "

The two did not chat for long. After confirming each other's positions, they ended the conversation.

Xue Chen called Hu Sheng in. Xie Zhang also followed him into the room. He looked unfriendly, but did not show it. He just stood at the door and looked at them coldly.

Wen Yu pretended not to see it and politely sent Xue Chen away. She also called two servants to light the lamp for the second young master and send him back to his residence.

Xue Chen leaned back in his chair and memorized the layout of the Xie family. He devoted some energy to chatting with the system: [The main body has been disconnected.]

System: [It fell asleep, just like the time you drank too much.]

Xue Chen: [I don't know how I would feel when the main body is dreaming.]

System: [If the state of consciousness is counted If it is a dream, then what happened here should be the dream of the original entity, right?

Xue Chen: [A lucid dream? It looks very similar.]

Xue Chen and the system chatted casually, and the servant carrying the lantern walked more and more remote. The temperature in such a place should be lower, but Xue Chen felt very stuffy and hot, and it was not as comfortable as in the yard.

This place is too bad. No one has lived there for a long time, and there are spider webs on the roof.

The two servants turned on the lights in the house, looked at each other, and cleaned the bathroom unconsciously.

Xue Chen sat outside, looking up at the stars.

If I had known, I would have come during the day!

Hu Sheng took out a large robe from the package and covered Xue Chen's legs with it: "If you are in trouble, you can let me do it. "

Xue Chen came back to his senses.

The character of Ma Jia in Gong Jiu's story is just an ordinary person with good arithmetic. He has never participated in martial arts fights, let alone killed anyone. Hu Sheng is the "knife" handed to him by Gong Jiu, and Wen Yu's role should be to help him clean up the mess.

Xue Chen asked: "When you were confronting Xie Zhang before, I saw you holding a white porcelain in your hand. What is it?"

Hu Sheng took out a small white bottle from his sleeve. It was about the size of a palm, with a long and thin neck, and looked like a fairy crane: "It contains a sleeping pill, the Rooster Crying Five O'clock Soul-Returning Incense commonly used by the Lower Five Sects."

"The name sounds like a poison." Xue Chen took it and took a look at it, then gave it back to Hu Sheng, "Okay."

Hu Sheng was puzzled: "Young Master? "

Xue Chen: "Tomorrow evening, use Xie Zhang's name to lure the people of the Kuangsha Gang here. I will invite Xie Zhang to meet me, and then we can take action. After killing Xie Zhang, set fire while the chaos is going on, pretend to be dead and leave."

Hu Sheng's eyes lit up: "Young master, you have a good plan."

After the room was cleaned, the two servants left with lanterns.

Hu Sheng helped Xue Chen to the bed, massaged his body and left.

The bedding smelled moldy and there was no telling how much dust there was. Xue Chen hated it very much, but now he was extremely sleepy and his thoughts were sluggish. He really didn't have the energy to think about anything else. He

took off his outer robe and covered himself with it, and pulled over another robe that had just covered his legs on the wheelchair next to him, and then Xue Chen fell into a deep sleep.

-

"Brother, I have to go out and do something tomorrow. Father has been very busy lately and hasn't been home much. If you're bored, take Xiao He out for a walk. Remember to take care of yourself and don't get sick again."

Xue Chen controlled his vest and slowly put on his clothes. He was carried to the wheelchair by Mr. Hu. His throat hurt so much that he couldn't help coughing.

"Brother?"

A cold hand touched Xue Chen's forehead. Xue Chen looked at Gong Jiu and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about? You didn't respond when I talked to you."

How do you want to complete the task you assigned? Xue Chen complained in his heart and replied, "Maybe I didn't sleep well these few nights, and I'm not in a good mood."

Gong Jiu's expression froze, and his eyes unconsciously became tense when he looked at him: "Didn't sleep well?"

Xue Chen pretended not to see it: "I seemed to have some strange dreams at night. I didn't remember anything after waking up, but my body was very tired."

Gong Jiu knew that maybe he made too much noise and disturbed his brother. After he left, his brother should be able to sleep better.

Xue Chen asked, "What did you just say?"

Gong Jiu: "I have to go out tomorrow, and I won't be back for at least half a month."

Xue Chen asked with concern, "Leaving again?"

"Yes, there are some things that I need to solve." Gong Jiu spoke vaguely, and quickly changed the subject, "The gift I brought you when I came back from outside should be here soon, but unfortunately I have to leave tomorrow, and I won't be able to see your face when you receive the gift. I think you will like it."

Xue Chen was aroused by his curiosity: "What is the gift?"

Gong Jiu said playfully: "You will know when the time comes."

Gong Jiu left early the next morning.

After being busy all night at Ma Jia's place, Xie Heng was carried on Hu Sheng's back in the flames and left Xie's house quietly. In the deserted yard, several corpses were burning violently, emitting a burnt smell.

The original body received a courier from his younger brother, which was three large boxes.

The servants opened the three boxes, and one of them was full of neatly arranged expensive porcelain.

Another box was filled with exquisitely wrapped high-quality Hui ink, and from a distance one could smell the faint scent of tung smoke mixed with musk and borneol.

Finally, there was a box full of white clothes, each of which was of good quality and had all kinds of styles. The top dress shone silvery like water waves in the sun, which hurt Xue Chen's eyes.

Seeing these clothes, Xue Chen seemed to see Gong Jiu himself.

Although his younger brother left home temporarily, he would always stay in his mind.

Xue Chen: [He is so vicious! ]
