Chapter 174 Butterfly Wings



Earl Yongchang fell down so suddenly that even though he was quickly caught by Xie Yinlou who was not far away, it still caused shouts of surprise.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Xie Qingyao rushed over with a frightened face.

Yongchang Bo's head rested on Xie Yinlou's shoulder, hanging down weakly.

Zhen Shicheng's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and he immediately stepped forward and called out, "Uncle, Uncle!"

Earl Yongchang's eyes were tightly shut, and a trickle of blood slowly flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

Zhen Shicheng immediately reached out and sniffed the breath of Earl Yongchang.

No breath at all.

Zhen Shicheng retracted his hand and said in a deep voice: "Quickly call a doctor!"

Xie Qingyao opened his eyes wide and grabbed the Yongchang Earl's hanging hand: "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Zhen Shicheng shouted, "Don't shake him!"

Xie Qingyao was so scared that he let go of his hands and stared at his empty hands in a daze.

Jiang Si was standing not far away, feeling dizzy as he watched Yongchang Bo bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

The Yongchang Marquis's mansion already had a doctor on staff, and soon the doctor came hurriedly with a medicine box. He was startled when he saw the Yongchang Marquis's appearance, and hurried forward to check him out. Finally, he was stunned.

"How is my father?" Xie Yinlou tried his best to remain calm, but his voice still revealed a hint of unrest.

The doctor knew that he had to say something no matter how difficult it was to say, so he trembled and said, "Uncle... is gone..."

At this moment, Earl Yongchang was still leaning on Xie Yinlou. After hearing this, Xie Yinlou clenched his fists tightly, with a somewhat distorted expression on his face.

Xie Qingyao screamed and fell down softly.

Jiang Si subconsciously reached out to support Xie Qingyao, but at this moment he was also confused.

Earl Yongchang is dead!

Although Yongchang Bo had sleepwalking in his previous life, he was always in good health. But now he is dead.

Jiang Si didn't dare to think about it any further, and his whole body couldn't stop shaking.

Zhen Shicheng's eyes unconsciously fell on Jiang Si, feeling a little confused.

Although the death of Earl Yongchang was sudden, for a man like him who was accustomed to life and death, he was still able to remain rational and calm. But Miss Jiang was so calm and behaved so brilliantly before, why is she so out of control now?

It seems that Miss Jiang suffered no less blow than the Xie brothers and sisters, which is strange.

"Lord Zhen, has my father been poisoned?" Xie Yinlou asked slowly, looking at Dou Niang with eyes as cold as a knife.

"We need to examine this before we can draw a conclusion." Zhen Shicheng signaled his subordinates to move the body of Earl Yongchang and carry it into the house for inspection.

The servants in the yard waited in fear, not even daring to make a sound.

Xie Qingyao finally found his voice and cried hoarsely, "Father——"

She cried so hard that she bent over, as if she wanted to cry her heart out.

Those mournful cries were like a whip dipped in salt water, lashing Jiang Si's heart and making her bleed profusely.

She hugged Xie Qingyao tightly, murmuring: "Qingyao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Even though she knew that it was Dou Niang who killed the Yongchang couple, she could not convince herself that she did not need to take responsibility no matter how much she tried to deceive herself.

It was indeed because of her talkativeness that the fate of the Yongchang Earl and his wife was changed.

One life and one death, can she have a clear conscience just because she is kind-hearted?

She didn't know how other people would react if they encountered such a thing, at least she couldn't.

Those were two lives, the parents of her best friend and the backbone of an entire family. I don't know how many lives were affected by them, but they were all gone just because of a few words from her.

At this moment, Jiang Si finally understood that the prophet not only brings benefits, but also brings misfortune to people if they are not careful in their words and actions.

"Ah, ah——" Xie Qingyao grabbed Jiang Si's hand tightly and cried, her nails leaving bloody marks on the back of her white hand.

Xie Qingyao, immersed in grief, was unaware of anything, and Jiang Si could only bear it silently.

Not long after, the coroner came to a conclusion: "Sir, Uncle was not poisoned, but died of a sudden heart attack—"

"Nonsense!" Xie Yinlou interrupted the coroner coldly, "My father has always been in good health. I have never heard the doctor say that he has a heart disease!"

After he finished speaking, he pulled the doctor over and asked sharply, "Doctor Zhang, you should know my father's physical condition best. Tell me!"

Doctor Zhang wiped his sweat repeatedly, but if he didn't make things clear at this time, he would have a hard time as a doctor in the future. He quickly explained: "Sir, sudden heart disease is different from other diseases. Normally, no problem may be found, but under severe stimulation, it is possible-"

Xie Yinlou suddenly drew the sword from his waist and walked towards Dou Niang.

"Stop him quickly!" Zhen Shicheng shouted.

Xie Yinlou held the sword in his hand, his expression cold: "Master Zhen, I want to chop that woman to death to avenge my parents. Do you want to stop me?"

Zhen Shicheng shook his head: "Don't be impulsive, Prince. The truth has been found out and they will get the punishment they deserve."

Xie Yinlou snorted coldly and pushed away the yamen runner who was blocking him: "Get out of the way!"

"Brother Xie, if you kill someone with your own hands, won't that dirty your own hands?" Jiang Si didn't want Xie Yinlou to be charged with murder again, so he spoke out to stop him despite his extremely depressed mood.

The hatred of having his wife stolen and the revenge of having his father killed, although murder in this case would be tolerated by the law, it would still be controversial for Xie Yinlou, who was about to be promoted to the title.

Everyone has a few friends and a few enemies, and there are many people who will take advantage of others when they are down.

If Xie Yinlou's title was in jeopardy because of murder, Jiang Si would not be able to forgive himself.

Xie Yinlou's black jade eyes looked over, dark and gloomy, making it difficult to see his emotions for a moment.

Jiang Si hugged Xie Qingyao and advised, "Brother Xie, they have caused so much trouble to the Bo family. Isn't it too easy for them to be freed with just one blow?"

Xie Yinlou's eyes moved and he sheathed his sword.

Zhen Shicheng came over and patted Xie Yinlou on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "My Lord, I am very sorry for the loss. If there is anything you need help with, please send someone to Shuntian Mansion to let us know."

Xie Yinlou lowered his eyes and thanked him.

"Tie up Dou Niang and the chief steward and take them away!" Zhen Shicheng gave the order and bowed to Jiang Si, "Miss Jiang, you have helped me a lot this time. I will come to thank you later."

Well, then I can take my son there naturally.

Jiang Si was confused and hurriedly returned the greeting: "I don't deserve your thanks, I didn't do anything."

Zhen Shicheng and a group of people left quickly. Xie Yinlou walked up to Jiang Si and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for today. I'll take you home first."

At this time, there was no way Jiang Si could let Xie Yinlou send her off, so she refused.

Xie Qingyao seemed to be holding on to Jiang, and Xie Yinlou glanced at his sister: "Qingyao, we still need to take care of the funeral affairs of our father and mother. Let Miss Jiang go back first."

"Asi——" Xie Qingyao shed tears towards Jiang Si, looking so pitiful.

Jiang Si held Xie Qingyao's hand and said, "I'll tell my family and come to accompany you."

Only then did Xie Qingyao let go.

Jiang Si walked out of the gate of Yongchang Marquis's Mansion and was greeted by the dazzling sunlight. His feet went weak and he almost fell down.

"Girl, are you okay?" Ah Man hurriedly supported her.

Jiang Si shook his head and continued walking forward, stopping unconsciously when he was almost at the Dongping Marquis's Mansion.

A large dog wagged its tail merrily at her.
