Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Faking Death to Escape
Back then, Lord Xie secretly brought the newborn Xie Yi to his mansion, concealing his identity and raising him. After revealing the truth to him, the two of them agreed on three rules.
If Xie Yi wanted to be the orphan of the former crown prince, he could not be the third son of the Xie family.
Now that Xie Yi has made up his mind, he will have to give up the identity of "Xie Sanlang" sooner or later and put on his own identity as a prince again.
However, although he made a decisive decision, he encountered many difficulties in implementing it and kept delaying it.
Because Mr. Xie San is not alone, he has a wife who loves him deeply.
He was operating under his true identity, rallying the former crown prince's staff and interacting with officials within the court. As an imperial official, Lord Xie naturally couldn't have been unaware of this. Therefore, upon learning of his decision, Lord Xie was prepared to cooperate with him in making "Xie Sanlang" disappear.
As a result, I waited and waited, but he never made up his mind.
Lord Xie specifically called him to his study, dismissed the servants, and reminded him, "Did you forget our agreement?"
"Of course I remember." Xie Yi sighed, a look of worry on his face. "It's just that Ah Wu has only been married to me for a short time, and now she's going to be a widow. I can't bear to let her go."
Lord Xie: “…”
good.
If Xie Yi wants to restore his identity, "Xie San" must die.
Yun Wu was about to change from a young bride to a widow.
"My death wouldn't be a big deal; at least I'm still alive. I just can't show up at home anymore, and seeing her would be even harder." Xie Yi muttered to himself, "If I ask her to leave with me, it would be too dangerous."
Lord Xie: "Just for this?"
Xie Yi argued confidently: "Isn't this a big deal?"
Lord Xie: “…”
Lord Xie tried to hold back, but couldn't hold it back any longer and picked up the paperweight on the table and threw it at him: "Get out."
Xie Yi put his paperweight in his pocket and left quickly.
It is indeed as he said, it is a big deal.
If Third Young Master Xie was to die, he had to do it openly and gloriously, with the whole city knowing about it, so that Xie Yi could escape unscathed. As Third Young Master Xie's wife, Yun Wu was the first to be informed of her husband's impending death.
Yun Wu was told in advance that she would become a widow and also learned in advance the date of her husband's death. She felt very complicated.
She is also the first person in the world to have such an experience.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you wait until after the New Year?" Yun Wu worriedly said, "Sister-in-law has made so many preparations for this New Year. If something happens to you, all these preparations will be in vain."
She also helped a lot.
Xie Yi kissed her soothingly: "If I don't restore my identity soon, it will be inconvenient to do things. The more I reveal, the more likely it is that I will implicate the Duke's Mansion. Dad and Big Brother are wholeheartedly working for the Emperor. The Emperor is getting suspicious as he ages, and they shouldn't be implicated by me."
The reason was impeccable, and Yun Wu had no choice but to accept it.
She said dejectedly, "Okay."
"Let me help you," she said.
Soon, Xie Yi fell ill.
Doctor Hua came to see her, then left with a sigh and shaking his head. Yun Wu then began to decoct medicine in the small kitchen every day.
His face turned as pale as paper, and he was filled with the smell of bitter medicine. He was so sick that he couldn't even get out of bed. When anyone got close to him, he would cough violently, as if he was going to cough out all his internal organs.
Everyone in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was happily welcoming the New Year, but when this incident happened suddenly, no one was happy anymore.
"How did he suddenly become so ill?" The two sisters-in-law came to Yun Wu to inquire. "Wasn't he well before? I saw Sanlang jumping around every day, and he didn't look that ill. What did Doctor Hua say?"
Yun Wu also had a gloomy expression on her face. Her eyes were red, and she opened her mouth as if to shed a tear. "Doctor Hua said that the good times before might just be a last gasp. My husband's health has never been good. Maybe... maybe he doesn't have many days left."
Chen Qiutang held her in his arms lovingly: "Poor Ah Wu."
Meng Qingtong also sighed deeply: "Alas, how could this happen."
Mrs. Xie also felt pity for him, so she opened the warehouse and sent over many precious medicinal herbs and supplements.
Yun Wu didn't dare to use it to nourish Xie Yi this time, fearing that his complexion would look too good and he wouldn't be able to pretend, so she put it in the warehouse guiltily.
The two sons of the Xie family took turns visiting their younger brother.
Xie Chong was fine. Seeing his brother lying on the hospital bed, dying, he restrained himself and said a few words of comfort. As soon as Xie Fei entered the room, she threw herself on the bed with a cry of "Ah".
He was crying and snotting: "Sanlang, Sanlang, why are you so pitiful? Please don't die!"
Xie Yi was lying on the hospital bed, breathing more out than in. He couldn't push him away, so he could only: "Cough cough cough!!!"
Yun Wu walked over quickly to comfort him: "Er Langjun, don't cry, say something happy."
Xie Fei sniffed: "That's right, Sanlang is already like this, he must be even sadder than me, I can't poke him in the heart."
So he forced himself to cheer up and try to make Xie Yi happy.
In the following days, he came every day. One time, when Xie Yi happened to be out on business and not at home, Yun Wu, sweating profusely, stopped him, using the excuse that Xie Yi had already gone to bed.
Erlangjun was completely unaware and was filled with sorrow: "It doesn't matter if he's asleep. I'll just go in and see him. I won't be able to see him again."
Yun Wu was sweating profusely.
Fortunately, Xie Yi arrived back in time to avoid the risk of exposure.
After everyone had left, Xie Yi pulled her onto the bed, made arrangements for his funeral arrangements, and distributed his inheritance.
"This is the key to the warehouse, as well as the deeds to the shop and the farm." Xie Yi said.
Yun Wu was surprised: "But I already received it."
"When you married me, I gave you the key to this courtyard. It only contains things from the Duke's Mansion." Xie Yi also has another identity. "I thought about it and realized that after I left, you would have too little and your life would be difficult. You took all these."
Xie Yi: "Don't you like my mother's hot spring resort? I bought one for you too."
Xie Yi: "I've left a few people for you. If you're bullied, don't take it. Fight back. If you can't win, I'll come and help you."
Yun Wu: “…”
She recalled vaguely that she was shocked by his family background when she first got married, but it turned out that this was just the tip of the iceberg.
She never expected that she could make a fortune after her husband "died".
Xie Yi was also reluctant to "die", so he held her hand and told her many things.
After much delay, he finally managed to get through the New Year. Since it was his last New Year, the house was celebrating with great cheer, trying to bring him good luck with the atmosphere.
As soon as the first month of the lunar year came to an end, a white banner was hung at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Sanlang of the Xie family is gone.
