Chapter 166 The Guardian Apologizes and Doesn't Leave a Single Needle or Thread for His Scumbag Father
Xie Mingan held on tightly, but Xie Yao was stronger and pulled him so hard that he staggered.
There was a thick stack of property deeds, and my mother's name was written on the deed of Chengyuan.
After confirming that everything was correct, Xie Yao turned and left.
Xie Mingan was unwilling to give in and gave Jiang Si a look.
"Princess, are you going to take away all the maids and servants in Wanxiangyuan? Why not leave Miss Puwei here? I can take good care of her." Jiang Si rolled his eyes, stared at Pu Wei, and said with a wicked smile.
He thought that Pu Wei had previously captured the maid he had planted in Wanxiangyuan as a spy. This woman was the princess's confidant. He said this on purpose, and the princess would definitely think she was restless.
Disgust flashed in Pu Wei's eyes, but he said nothing.
Xie Yao's eyes were sharp, and she snatched the sword from the judicial officer with ease.
The judicial officer hadn't used his sword today, but his sword had never rested.
The princess's sword was as swift as the wind. She raised her arm lightly and cut off Jiang Si's hat and a large clump of hair!
"ah--"
Jiang Si was locked in by Xie Yao's murderous aura and screamed in fear. He thought Xie Yao was going to kill him and didn't even dare to move.
After finding out that only his hair had been cut off, he gasped for breath.
Then, the princess smiled slightly, loosened her hand, and the hilt of the sword fell off with force, and the tip of the sword pierced straight into Jiang Si's shoe.
"Hiss, ahhh!"
Blood once again dyed the tip of the sword red.
Princess: "Look, why are you yelling for no reason? You made me let go of your hand, and you are the one who is hurt."
Jiang Si fell to the ground, holding his foot and crying out in pain.
Xie Mingan was shocked and angry. He didn't expect that just when he wanted Jiang Si to say something harsh, Xie Yao actually took action.
"You rebellious girl, you dare to hurt others in front of the judicial officer, you are crazy!"
Xie Yao casually pushed the sword back into the scabbard with an innocent look on her face: "Oh, the sword of the soldier is dirty."
The judicial officer came to his senses and stepped forward with his head held high. "How dare a guard like you covet the Princess of Jingbei? He doesn't know the rules, but this officer cannot tolerate it. Lord, you are truly incompetent in managing your subordinates, and you won't let this cunning servant apologize to the Princess."
Pu Wei even said in agreement, "How could the uncle see the princess taking action? The princess is kind-hearted and didn't even use a knife today. It was clearly the judicial officer who enforced the law impartially and spoke frankly with a sword."
"you……"
Xie Mingan pointed at Xie Yao and said after a long pause, "Jiang Si, apologize!"
Jiang Si climbed up, kowtowed with disheveled hair, and a distorted face: "I was wrong, please calm down, Princess."
Xie Yao then said calmly, "You are the head guard of the Marquis's house, and you represent the reputation of the Marquis's servants. This time is easy to deal with, but if you embarrass the Marquis again, it won't be so easy."
Xie Mingan could no longer bear it and lowered his voice to squeeze out a sentence: "Xie Yao, don't think that you have won by instigating Xu Shi to live separately from me and return to Chengyuan."
Xie Yao raised her lips, her eyes filled with coldness and cruelty: "You are not dead yet, I dare not say I win, my...good father."
After saying that, she led her group away.
Xie Mingan was frightened by her deep eyes and froze. After he recovered, he kicked Jiang Si without venting his anger: "Waste."
Jiang Si grimaced in pain, but didn't dare to retort. He could only ask someone to bandage his wound quickly.
"Uncle, this is bad!"
As Xie Mingan returned to his study, he heard the servants' exclamations outside the door.
"What happened again?!" He took a deep breath, his head buzzing.
"Auntie Sun is making a scene in the courtyard. As soon as I untied her, she tried to commit suicide by banging her head against the wall. She even said she wanted to take the child with her. You should go and check it out!"
"What will happen if Benbo goes?"
Xie Mingan's head was about to explode: "Send more people to watch her, tie her hands and feet, and if she dares to make trouble again, tie her to the bed directly. Then have the maid keep a close eye on her and make sure not to hurt the baby in her belly."
After giving his orders to his servants, he collapsed in his chair, feeling as if he had aged a dozen years in just one day.
Soon, Jiang Si, who had been bandaged and applied with medicine, limped in, smelling of trauma medicine.
"Uncle, please calm down. We are not without other options."
Xie Mingan opened his bloodshot eyes and asked, "What method?"
Jiang Si leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Uncle, didn't Mr. Xu come all the way to the capital to give the second young lady a dowry?"
"Xu Shiquan? I plan to visit him another day. If I can convince him, it will be easy to bring Xu back."
Xie Mingan frowned. His father-in-law, Mr. Xu, was a wealthy man in Jiangzhou. When Xu married into the family, the dowry she brought shocked the entire capital.
However, Mr. Xu and the Xie family disliked each other. He hadn't seen the old man for more than ten years, and he didn't know if he could meet him if he went to pay a visit rashly. That's why he asked Mrs. Xie to write a letter so that he could enter the house when the time came.
"Master, have you forgotten that you planted someone in the Xu family specifically for Madam Bo?"
Jiang Si's eyes were filled with sinister calculation: "Mr. Xu is already old. If something happens to him, even if Madam Bo is already married, how can the Xu family's vast wealth be handed over to an adopted son? In the end, Madam Bo will definitely inherit it."
"Aren't the things of the Lady Bo yours?"
Xie Mingan's eyes lit up instantly. How could he have forgotten about this!
Back then, in order to understand Xu's preferences, he specially bought someone and secretly sent him to the Xu family's mansion in the capital to work and gather information for him.
He was thinking at the time that besides Xu, Mr. Xu had only one adopted son, Xu Zhixing. After the old man passed away, as his son-in-law, he might be able to get some of the property.
Xie Mingan touched his chin, and the resentment and anger in his heart were replaced by greed.
So what if Xu got her dowry back? As long as we can get Mr. Xu's property, this little loss is nothing!
Xu and Xie Yao pushed him so hard, a hundred years later? He couldn't wait any longer.
"Since you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." Xie Mingan murmured gloomily.
"You contact that person immediately, and Uncle Ben must think carefully about how to make sure that Uncle Ben's father-in-law...died."
"I'll do it right away!"
On the other side, the snow stopped.
With the help of the palace's personal guards, Bai Mi and Xu Susu packed up all the things in Wanxiangyuan and took them away.
There were not enough carriages when the princess came to the palace, so she simply spent money to rent fifty, six, seven, eighty or ninety carriages from the neighbors.
Xie Yao, Xu Susu, and Pu Wei Rendong were sitting in one carriage, and the prince was sitting alone in another carriage. The team of dozens of people marched towards Chengyuan in a mighty procession.
Xie Yao originally wanted the prince to return to the palace first. After she settled down in Runyuan, she would definitely have to go back as well.
The prince said, "I have said that I will accompany the princess to complete the return ceremony. If I don't go to the Bo's Mansion with the princess, I will break my promise. So I must accompany the princess home."
Xie Yao can only be left to him.
I always feel that he made the description of returning home sound like a private meeting between the two of them.
Xu Susu sat in the car and opened the curtains.
She had not left the Wenchang Earl's Mansion for at least five years.
A cold and fresh breath blew in my face, making me feel relaxed and happy. Outside was covered with silver-white snow, and everything was brand new.
However, Xu Susu is only concerned about two issues now.
The first question: "Ayao, it's not like I'm broke. You've emptied out Wanxiangyuan. Isn't that a bit embarrassing? The prince won't blame me, will he?"
Xie Yao: "Where is it embarrassing? I said that if I don't leave a single needle or thread for the Bo's house, I will empty it."
Outside the carriage, the voices of the people in Tangliu Lane talking could be heard.
"Oh my god, the princess took away the calligraphy of 'Daughter of Loyalty' bestowed by the late emperor."
"Not only that, the princess took down the plaque and door panels of Wanxiangyuan and took them away."
"Not only that, the princess uprooted the crabapple tree in the courtyard of the Wenchang Marquis's mansion!"
"What? Xie Yao pulled out all the crabapple trees?" Xie Mingan hurried over after receiving the news.
"Hey...yo!"
"Hey...yo!"
"Hey...yo!"
The palace guards didn't even let the Xie family's trees go. Some of them were wrapped in mud and put on the carts, while others were simply carried together by one or two people, and they were actually shouting slogans in unison!
Listening to the sonorous and powerful calls that gradually faded away, and the low whispers of the people in his ears, Xie Ming'an was dumbfounded. He felt that the face of the Xie family was being crushed to the ground and rubbed repeatedly by Xie Yao.
Through the car window, Xu Susu saw the little white guard carrying a crabapple tree and smiled awkwardly.
Xie Yao remained calm.
Xu Susu had no choice but to lower her voice and ask another question: "Ayao, I drank some wine, and the prince drank some wine too. You and I rode in the same car, but is it because the prince and you... haven't consummated your marriage yet?"
