Chapter 51 Do you still remember my name? Husband!
Xie Yao also said yesterday: Catch the thief and the stolen goods; catch the adulterer and the couple.
The thief hasn't appeared yet, but she didn't expect that it would be her turn to catch the adulterer so soon.
Soon, the gate of Aunt Sun and Xie Zhi's courtyard was surrounded by patrolling servants.
The servants craned their necks and peeked inside.
If the master is dignified, the servants will naturally be obedient and well-behaved. However, if the master always does ridiculous things, the servants will become lazy and idle over time, and will lose respect for him in their hearts.
This is the current situation of Wenchang Marquis’ Mansion.
The yard of Mrs. Xie next door was brightly lit.
Even Wenchangbo hurried over and adjusted his hair crown before entering the yard to look more respectable.
Xie Yao then said, "My cousin and elder sister each have their own opinions. It's hard to explain. Let's report it to the police."
Aunt Sun was startled. She put clothes on Xie Zhi and held her in her arms: "We can't report it to the authorities. Zhizhi is fine, why should we report it to the authorities?"
She looked at Uncle Wenchang and said, "Uncle, Zhizhi is our daughter. You know her personality. She is gentle and obedient. How could she possibly seduce Xie Chengyu?"
"Report to the authorities? I am an official," said Wenchang Bo, his face gloomy as he signaled his servants to stop Xie Yao. "Yesterday, today, do you still think our Xie family is not shameful enough in the capital?"
"Of course Zhizhi is right. This is her house. This little beast must have had evil intentions!"
Xie Zhi burst into tears: "Zhizhi has no brothers, so she treated her cousin like a real brother. I never thought that my cousin would frame her like this..."
Xie Chengyu's eyes were red. Now that things had come to this, he knew that no one would believe him even if he said again that Xie Zhi seduced him.
"Uncle, Aunt Sun, please listen to my explanation. I was drunk and acted impulsively—"
Xie Yao: "My cousin can barely get out of bed, but he can still drink. It seems his injuries are not serious."
Aunt Sun's eyes turned, and while he was still lying on the ground, she picked up her crutch and hit him.
"Xie Chengyu, you damned bastard! Your future is ruined, go find whoever harmed you, why did you frame my daughter?"
The servants never expected that Aunt Sun, who had always been gentle and virtuous, would have such a cruel side.
"My Zhizhi respects you as her brother, yet you actually have evil thoughts towards her!"
Aunt Sun beat and cursed at the same time.
She wanted to prove that Xie Chengyu had ill intentions towards Xie Zhi, and she also wanted to tell others that Xie Chengyu was just framing her and nothing had happened to Xie Zhi.
one time……
Two times...
Three times...
Xie Chengyu's screams were endless, and Xie Yao was counting.
When it hit the sixth time, there was a crisp "crack" sound.
Well, this time, both legs are broken.
Xie Mingan said coldly, "Drag him away and beat him with thirty sticks until he's dead."
Another thirty strokes of the stick, a punishment he deliberately did not exceed the one General Huben had given his nephew.
As for beating him to death, it doesn't mean really beating him to death.
After all, the cousin coveted the cousin. If the cousin was beaten to death and the news spread, others would think that Xie Chengyu succeeded, and it would also be a disgrace to their Xie family.
Aunt Sun threw away her crutches and helped Xie Zhi, who was silently shedding tears, up.
The servants stepped forward and dragged Xie Chengyu away.
"Mother! Han, save me!!"
Xie Chengyu had already fainted, but he forced his eyes open and screamed hysterically.
The second wife just arrived and when she heard the words "beat him to death", her eyelids drooped and she fainted.
But Mr. Xie did not show up at all.
He has three sons, Xie Chengyu is the eldest. After Bai Tian knew that Xie Chengyu's leg could not be cured and he had no future, he no longer cared about his eldest son's life or death.
Xie Yao looked at Xie Chengyu quietly, without any emotion in her eyes.
In her previous life, she had really thought that Xie Chengyu treated her as his sister, and was heartbroken, so she angrily scolded her for bringing shame to the Xie family.
She went to the second house's yard specifically to explain to her cousin.
But he saw Xie Chengyu and his second uncle sitting in the courtyard, raising their wine cups and saying proudly, "Now that Xie Yao's reputation is ruined, Xie Yan will also be implicated. From now on, the Xie family will be ruled by us, father and son."
Now he is the one whose reputation has been ruined.
If Xie Chengyu had stayed in bed, waiting for Xie Zhi to visit him, perhaps he wouldn't have ended up like this.
But he was so eager to find Xie Zhi that he ended up breaking his own leg.
Having two broken legs and being beaten with sticks thirty times is nothing more than...Misfortunes sent by Heaven can be avoided, but those brought upon oneself cannot be escaped.
Seeing his mother faint, Xie Chengyu had no choice but to beg Han Sixue, crying heartbreakingly: "Han, save me - I am your husband, please save me!"
Han Sixue stepped forward.
Wenchangbo's expression changed: "Han..."
He thought that his niece-in-law was going to plead for Xie Chengyu.
Han is the sister of the Minister of War, and the Han family is quite prestigious. If he really begs for mercy, he has to give her face.
What Xie Mingan was more afraid of was that Han would be stupid and make a big fuss here.
He had already made arrangements secretly and reported Xie Zhi's name. His eldest daughter would be entering the palace in a few days, so there could be no mistakes in this matter.
If tonight's incident gets out of hand, it won't benefit anyone.
Han Sixue looked down at Xie Chengyu and said slowly, "Uncle, if he wants to kill me to silence me, then he should be beaten with thirty sticks?"
Xie Yao looked at her father's face which suddenly darkened and found it ridiculous.
Xie Ming'an wouldn't still be dreaming, hoping to suppress this matter and allow Xie Zhi to enter the palace smoothly.
She followed Han Sixue's words and said, "Father, I came early and saw with my own eyes that Xie Chengyu instructed his servants to kill my cousin's wife. How could such a heartless villain be let off so easily?"
Xie Chengyu's eyes were bloodshot, and her voice was intermittent: "You...you vicious woman, you are talking nonsense...you have no evidence."
Hearing this, Xie Mingan breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Chengyu was right. Fortunately, Xie Yao and Han Sixue had no evidence.
He forced a kind, elder smile.
"Han, maybe it was a dark night with strong winds, and you must have seen it wrong. No matter how much of a beast Xie Chengyu was, there was no way he could kill you in the Earl's Mansion in front of everyone."
Aunt Sun saw what Xie Ming'an was thinking and gritted her teeth, saying, "Yes, you are the wife that this little bastard married with marriage, why would he kill you?"
Xie Yao suddenly raised the corners of her lips and smiled, looking harmless.
Xie Mingan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Whoever says there is no evidence, he is the evidence."
Xie Yao pointed at the servant she had kicked away. She was holding a knife, with her feet on a crutch on the ground, and she looked at Xie Chengyu.
"When he wakes up, we'll find out by asking."
"He, he has been—"
"Cousin, you didn't think I kicked him to death, did you? Alas, I'm a weak little woman, how could I have such great strength?"
“…”
"We have witnesses and physical evidence right here at my feet. Father, why don't we report this to the police? I simply cannot bear to see this man go unpunished."
Xie Mingan stopped talking, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
At this point, it doesn't make any difference whether you report it to the police or not.
Aunt Sun: "After all, Zhizhi is fine. It's better not to report it to the authorities. This little bastard was just impulsive. You and him have been married for many years. You shouldn't say scary things like silencing him."
"Yes, Han, I was just possessed by a ghost for a moment. You and I have been married for many years. You can't watch me get beaten to death... I didn't, I really didn't want to hurt you..."
Xie Chengyu cried and begged Han Sixue for mercy. He knew that the only one who could save him at the moment was his wife.
As long as she begged for mercy, he would not be beaten again.
Even if he reported the matter to the police, Xie Zhi was fine after all, and his uncle's family would help cover it up, so the Jingzhao Yin would give him a break.
Han Sixue lowered her head, looked into his bloodshot eyes, and suddenly said, "Xie Chengyu, do you still remember my name?"
"W-what?"
Xie Chengyu looked confused.
Why did she ask herself this question at this time?
By the way, what was Han's name...
"That's right, how could you remember my name? I'm about to forget it myself."
Han Sixue shook her head slightly, her eyes gradually becoming sharp and cold.
"You coveted my cousin and wanted to kill me to silence me, yet you actually asked me to plead for you. Do you think I will forgive you?"
She asked back in a low voice, as if she was asking Xie Chengyu, but more importantly, she was asking herself.
Before she finished speaking, Han Sixue snatched the long knife from Xie Yao's waist, the cloth strips on the blade spread out, and she swung it down fiercely -
One knife!
Stab into Xie Chengyu's chest!
"I, Han Sixue, am divorcing my husband today!"
