Chapter 244 The End of the Case
After the Imperial Guards left and everyone dispersed, Shen Heng asked Xie Jian about Xiao Min'er.
No one expected that the eldest brother of the Xie family would suddenly seek revenge. Min'er stayed at Wang Nei Shi's residence at night, while Yitian was receiving enlightenment at the Duke of County's residence.
"Don't worry. During the time when big brother was in a coma, Eunuch Wang sent Min'er to Nanshan Academy." Xie Jian had made arrangements, but he didn't expect Eunuch Wang to be one step ahead of him. Although he and Eunuch Wang were not very close, Eunuch Wang was indeed very good to Min'er.
Nanshan Academy, the best academy in the imperial capital, Shen Heng breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of the Xie family's eldest brother's determination to break up, she felt very uncomfortable: "Big brother and Min'er haven't recognized each other yet."
"Yes." Xie Jian didn't know how to tell this to his nephew.
"Also, what exactly happened back then? Big brother didn't say anything." Chen Heng felt strange. Big brother of the Xie family was the person involved. Even if he was going to die, he should have explained everything clearly first.
Xie Jian suppressed all his emotions and said in a cold voice, "The Duke of Yu and his eldest son are dead, so that explains the situation. But Madam Tang is still alive, and there are two grandsons of the Yu family. What will happen in the future?"
Chen Heng's heart skipped a beat. What did Xie Jian mean by this?
"It's getting late, go to bed." Xie Jian walked into the room tiredly.
Chen Heng went in together: "Ajian, the two grandsons of the Yu family are less than ten years old. They don't know anything. Let them go." She didn't like the phrase "eradicate the roots". For many things, there is not only one way to eradicate them.
Many people are afraid of revenge if they don't eradicate the problem completely, but people in the world are bound by rules, laws, ethics, and even family members' emotions, so revenge is not that easy.
Seeing the worry in Ah Heng's eyes, Xie Jian knew that his words had frightened her. "I won't lay a hand on those two children. If a person can't even tell whether they are a potential threat or not, how can they accomplish anything great?"
There are so many people who can threaten him, and he can't just kill them all.
Many people don't have that ability.
But the hatred towards the Yu family was not limited to Xie Jian alone.
Xie Jian's voice was filled with exhaustion. All Chen Heng could do was step forward and hug him tightly.
I stayed awake all night until dawn.
Just when Shen Heng was feeling a little sleepy, Ah Chan's voice woke her up: "Madam Shen, please go and see Madam Xia."
Shen Heng hurriedly got up and came to her sister-in-law's room without even putting on her coat.
Xia curled up into a ball, covering her chest with her hands, crying in pain and suppressing her emotions.
Seeing her sister-in-law like this, Shen Heng instantly burst into tears again.
"Madam Xia has been crying like this for quite a while." Pearl was crying beside her. She had never seen Madam Xia cry so sadly.
Chen Heng didn't know how to persuade her, so she could only sit aside and accompany her.
When Nanny Feng came out of the kitchen, she saw Xie Jian standing outside Xia's room. Listening to Xia's crying, she sighed in her heart. She heard Madam Xia crying since she woke up in the morning.
He told Zhenzhu and Achan that neither the farmhands nor the servants were allowed to enter the second gate today, and then he went to prepare breakfast.
This is a disaster for the Xie family. Once it is over, everything will be fine.
Shen Heng waited until the eldest sister-in-law fell asleep before coming out. Seeing Xie Jian standing at the door, she whispered, "Let's not disturb the eldest sister-in-law's rest."
