Chapter 190 Tell Aunt Sun about her eldest brother's death
In Fuguangyuan, Xie Yao was sitting by the window reading a book and recuperating from his injuries.
Honeysuckle came with medicine and prepared candied fruits for the princess.
Xie Yao swallowed the medicine in one gulp, chewed the candied fruit, slowly moved her left arm, and said, "Rosewood, I want to go out and play with Zhui Mo. My injury is almost healed. If you don't believe me, I'll take it off and show you."
Honeysuckle said righteously, "Princess, if you want to go out to practice swordsmanship, don't even think about it. If you sneak out, I will tell the prince and let him come to you."
Xie Yao: "...Okay, I'm really afraid of Xiao Yizi."
I don’t know what’s wrong with King Jingbei. His temperament suddenly changed in the past few days since I was injured.
She wants to practice swordsmanship, and the prince also wants to practice.
If she tried to stop him, the prince would say, "Does the princess look down on the disabled?"
"Then I won't practice anymore."
"Then I won't practice anymore."
Xie Yao found it so funny to see the prince practicing swordplay in a wheelchair that she had no choice but to go back to her room to recuperate.
Now, even Rendong would use King Jingbei to pressure her.
However, Xie Yao did not lie to Rendong. Her injury healed very quickly.
In her previous life, she had been strong since she was a child. She had blocked an arrow for the general and was well again in just half a month under the treatment of Monk Jue'an. Her mother didn't even know that she was injured.
But since he started joining the army, his luck has become very bad. Not only was he injured constantly, but his injuries were also difficult to heal. After returning to Beijing, he ended up with a tragic death.
After rebirth, everything is very different.
The injuries she received in the North healed in a few days, and the same was true for this arrow wound. After only seven or eight days, she felt that her body had almost recovered.
Just as he was thinking about it, Tang Xin came in with Qiliang.
"Princess, the rumor has spread. Xie Zhi seduced Marquis Anping in the Marquis's wife's mourning hall. Marquis Anping was furious and carved the word 'bitch' on her face and sent her back to the Xie family!"
Qiliang said excitedly.
Xie Yao wondered how the two words "mourning hall" and "seduction" came together.
Then he asked, "Oh? And then?"
Seven taels: "Xie Zhi brought shame upon the Xie family. When Lord Wenchang saw her injuries, he immediately disowned his daughter and had her wrapped in a straw mat and thrown out. It was only after Aunt Sun begged for a long time that, according to legend, the Xie family sent someone to take Xie Zhi to a dilapidated farm outside the city, where she was left to fend for herself."
Xie Yao closed the book, her eyes cold.
Marquis Anping was a madman who liked to torture women. Xie Zhi's act of seducing him in the mourning hall was truly self-destruction.
"You said that Aunt Sun asked Xie Ming'an for help?" She asked, remembering something.
Aunt Sun and Xie Ming'an had already become enemies. What she wanted was for these two to torture each other. Now that Sun Xinlan bowed her head and begged for mercy for Xie Zhi, the show became unsightly.
Qi Liang: "Yes, I heard that Aunt Sun fainted from crying, and that's why she wanted this result."
Xie Yao stood up and said, "Go to Chengyuan and inform mother that my injuries have fully recovered. Everything is ready for the divorce, except for the east wind."
This time, Honeysuckle saw the determination in the princess' eyes.
"Go and tell Aunt Sun how her elder brother died." Xie Yao paused and continued.
Good winds come with good force, and it is time for Aunt Sun's wind to blow away the fog.
Qi Liang reacted and nodded quickly: "Ming'er is still staying at the Bo's Mansion. I will go and take care of it immediately."
He left the palace and quietly went to the back door of the earl's house.
Ming'er is a maid in the kitchen, responsible for preparing fresh fruits and vegetables for Madam Xie's daily meal.
Soon, Qiliang saw her.
Just as he was about to explain the matter, Xie Yan came back from the clan school and saw them passing by the back door.
"What are you two doing sneaking around here?" Xie Yan immediately stepped forward and asked with gloomy eyes.
Qi Liang was not afraid of him and saluted, "Brother Yan, Ming'er and I are both the Princess of Jingbei's people."
Xie Yan: "I know you are my sister's people. Tell me, what does my sister want you to do?"
Qiliang looked hesitant.
"What she can do for my sister, I can do too, and I can do it better than her." Xie Yan pointed at Ming'er and said seriously.
Qi Liang and the others told Xie Yan what had happened.
After returning to the palace, Qi Liang reported to Xie Yao, "Princess, Ming'er and I met Brother Yan. He insisted on asking for your instructions, so I had no choice but to tell him."
Xie Yao: "Xie Yan can't sit still, so he likes to find things to do. Let him do whatever he likes."
On this side, Xie Yan had a plan in mind after hearing Qiliang's words.
He first asked his servant to go to the pharmacy outside to buy some medicinal herbs, and specifically said not to go to Shengjitang. Then, he brought Ming'er to Aunt Sun's yard.
There were maids and servants guarding outside the courtyard and outside the house.
Ming'er originally planned to disguise herself as a maid serving food, but Xie Yan asked her to hide aside.
He walked forward with a swagger, threw a few taels of silver to the servants, and said with a dandy look on his face: "I'm in a good mood today. Come, accompany me to watch the cockfighting."
Before Xie Yao returned to Beijing, Young Master Xie's daily routine consisted of eating, sleeping, and cockfighting.
The steward and the head guard were no longer in the Bo's Mansion, so the servants took the silver and followed excitedly.
Xie Yan glanced in Ming'er's direction and left with his men.
At this moment, Aunt Sun was sitting by the bed, staring at the gray sky outside the window in a daze.
Because she pleaded with Xie Mingan yesterday, the cloth strips and ropes that bound her body were untied today.
Now that her daughter is in Xie Ming'an's hands, Xie Ming'an will no longer be afraid of her threats.
Aunt Sun was worried. Xie Zhi was sent to a poor farm in the countryside. It was cold in winter, and there was no one to take care of her daughter. She wondered if she could have a hot meal. She was injured, so how would she survive?
Aunt Sun was not without anger at her daughter's stupidity, but that was the child she had carried for ten months and gave birth to, and it was her life.
For Xie Zhi, even though she hated Xie Mingan so much, she could only pretend to be nice to this man.
"This servant greets Aunt Sun."
Ming'er pushed the door open and came in.
Aunt Sun narrowed her eyes, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at her: "This time, it's Xie Yao's people?"
Ming'er hesitated for a moment and said, "Auntie Sun, there is something that the princess has found out, and I came to ask if you would like to know."
Aunt Sun: "I don't want to know!"
Ming'er: "Even if you don't want to know, you have to know. I'm here to tell you."
Aunt Sun opened her mouth and after a long pause, she uttered three words: "Go ahead."
Ming'er: "The death of Sun Hongfang, the master of the Sun family, was not caused by the Xu family."
"Of course it has nothing to do with the Xu family. My eldest brother died accidentally in prison," Aunt Sun said. "My eldest sister-in-law is just a shrew. She wanted to cheat Xie Yao out of money on her wedding day and disgust her."
"But Sun Hongfang's death was not an accident. With his death, you, Aunt Sun, have lost your elder brother. Sun Yaoling himself obeys the orders of the uncle. From now on, the only one you can rely on is the uncle."
Aunt Sun raised her head suddenly, her pupils trembling: "Are you saying that big brother was killed by Xie Mingan?"
Ming'er: "The jailer said that Sun Hongfang accidentally ate leek stems and fell ill, bleeding from all seven orifices and died. You're his sister, do you know that your elder brother shouldn't eat leek stems?"
Aunt Sun: "Big brother has run a clinic for decades... How could he die in such a ridiculous way?"
She was trembling all over, remembering that when her eldest brother had just died, Xie Mingan asked her if she could get some of the Sun family's property. When he learned that she couldn't, he was unhappy.
It turns out that he was the one who killed the eldest brother!
"Xie Mingan, this wicked and heartless person!"
Aunt Sun covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down through her fingers, and she growled in despair.
She was poisoned by her so-called lover, her daughter was abandoned, her father could not protect himself, and her eldest brother was also killed.
Xie Mingan killed his elder brother in prison, so wouldn't he kill Xie Zhi who was thrown into the manor?
Aunt Sun no longer had any hope in her heart.
She stroked her bulging belly and looked at the corner of the table.
Just when she mustered up the courage to rush forward, the door was pushed open again.
Xie Yan got rid of the servants and walked in.
He was dressed in a moon-white robe, his handsome face exuded a chill, and he held a bowl of medicinal juice in his hand.
"Auntie, Yan'er is here to see you."
Xie Yan walked straight up to Aunt Sun and smiled slightly.
"This is the medicine for pregnancy and nourishment that my second uncle sent to you out of pity for you."
