Chapter 135 Xie Jingxing really knows how to handle dirty business!
Three people were killed?
Su Zhirou, Liu Yu, and Xie Jingxing's unborn child.
Actually, this result...
It wasn't just Xie Jingxing who couldn't accept it.
Even Qian Yueshu couldn't accept it after learning everything.
Is this still the silly cousin she knows?
The boy who would follow her around all day, calling out, "Cousin, can you buy me a candied hawthorn?...Cousin, can you buy me osmanthus cake?...Cousin, can you buy me peach blossom pastry?"
She's just been busy with her pregnancy lately and hasn't had time for Qian Yueqiu for a while.
My cousin killed three people?
Therefore, Qian Yueshu specifically called Sun Cuier over to inquire about the situation.
Sun Cuier's words basically confirmed that what Xie Jingxing said was true!
There may be discrepancies in the details.
However, the core facts are basically consistent with what Xie Jingxing said in his letter.
As Qian Yueshu listened, her heart sank deeper and deeper.
Their last shred of hope was completely shattered.
It's true!
It's all true!
Qian Yueshu felt an unprecedented sense of exhaustion and powerlessness.
Although I was surprised.
But why was Qian Yueshu actually quite happy?
Um.
No wonder they are descendants of the Qian family.
When they make a move, it's earth-shattering!
a long time.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
Now that things have come to this, anger is useless. The most urgent task is to deal with the aftermath.
Xie Jingxing's letter of divorce is a done deal and cannot be reversed.
Qian Yueqiu committed such a heinous crime that being divorced was inevitable...
but!
She's definitely going to side with her cousin.
Or rather, to fight for the greatest benefit for my cousin.
Qian Yueshu immediately agreed to Xie Jingxing's divorce, but she also put forward conditions.
That is to ensure the Xie family protects Qian Yueqiu...
Since Xie Jingxing can protect Su Zhirou this time...
Xie Jingxing, could you please protect Liu Yu's case again?
Anyway, he's good at doing this kind of thing.
After all, even Qian Yueshu herself wasn't confident that she could protect Qian Yueqiu from the Liu family...
It seems that she felt her cousin's portion was not enough.
Qian Yueqiu also used her two newborn children as leverage: "If you want the Xie family to protect Qian Yueqiu, then the Qian family will not fight over these two children."
Xie Mansion.
A plain white letter lay on the table, the ink already dry.
That was a letter written to him by the Crown Princess.
The letter contained very simple information: she and the Qian family agreed to all conditions, even if Qian Yueqiu left with nothing.
But the prerequisite is that the Xie family must protect Qian Yueqiu's life.
Xie Jingxing replied quickly.
That means he agreed!
Actually, he didn't want to see Qian Yueqiu die either, after all, even if he didn't love her anymore, she was still the mother of his two children.
Besides, if Qian Yueqiu really is dead...
Then the Xie family and the Crown Prince's faction truly became mortal enemies!
The Xie family's century-old foundation, the father's years of painstaking management, and the many schemes he had secretly laid out could all be overturned by this sudden storm.
He knew better than anyone the cruelty of power struggles.
It was a one-way street with no turning back; once you stepped onto it, it was a fight to the death, a road paved with blood.
It's not worth dragging the entire family into such danger for the sake of Liu Yu, who is already dead.
Comparing the two, it is almost self-evident which is more important.
As for the matter of giving instructions to the Liu family!
In Xie Jingxing's heart, Qian Yueqiu was still much more important than Su Zhirou.
This time, he simply used Su Zhirou's only younger brother as a pretext.
Most importantly.
Su's father didn't care about Su Zhirou's death, but her beloved younger brother was constantly searching for the truth.
He even discovered a clue that this matter was related to Liu Yu.
However, he was of low status and his voice carried little weight, so he dared not make any rash accusations.
He even confided this to his close friends and confidants...
This hidden danger must be completely eliminated.
And now is an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
Qian Yueshu needs someone to take the blame for Qian Yueqiu's murder; she needs a scapegoat of sufficient weight to quell the incident.
The Xie family can also get rid of the Su family's endless extortion.
After all, Su Zhirou was nominally Madam Xie, and she died in the Xie family.
Therefore, the Xie family always gives the Su family some face when they face them!
Su Yunche, Su Zhirou's younger brother, is a "restless" individual who is investigating Liu Yu's secrets. He is simply the perfect candidate.
Thus, a ruthless plan quickly took shape in Xie Jingxing's mind.
He didn't need to show up personally; he could simply subtly guide some "evidence" toward Su Yunche.
Taking advantage of the Liu family's eagerness to avenge Liu Yu, he tricked them into killing him.
It has to be said, Xie Jingxing was really ruthless towards Su Zhirou!
The Xie family already owes Su Zhirou a debt, and now they want the Su family and Su Zhirou's only brother to take the blame.
But Xie Jingxing brainwashed himself: "This isn't ruthlessness, it's necessary. It's a choice that he had to make because he was in his position."
By making Su Zhirou's younger brother take the blame, the casualties will be minimized.
Otherwise, even more people will die...
The faint, throbbing pain in Xie Jingxing's heart reminded him that he was not entirely cold-blooded.
owe?
Xie Jingxing's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile of mockery. In this vortex of power, who truly owes whom?
Su Zhirou married into the Xie family to use him!
If you want to use others, you should be prepared to be used by them.
Su Zhirou should blame the Sixth Prince!
Xie Jingxing even had the idea of eliminating the Sixth Prince at this moment.
Consider it the last thing he and Su Zhirou did as husband and wife.
The guards obeyed and silently withdrew, their figures quickly disappearing into the deep night outside the door.
Xie Jingxing walked back to the window.
The night was cool and still, and a cold moon hung alone in the sky, casting its clear light across the courtyard and illuminating the complex and unreadable expression on his face.
There is decisiveness, and there is calculation.
Perhaps there is also a hint of ruthlessness that is deeply suppressed and that he himself is unwilling to admit.
The Qian family mansion.
On the other side.
After being divorced and returning to the Qian family, Qian Yueqiu was depressed all day long.
Qian Yueqiu's boudoir, once a playground for her youthful days, is now filled with an almost stagnant silence.
She sat all day on the wooden couch by the window, wearing a worn-out moon-white silk shirt with her skirt trailing on the ground, like a jade sculpture that had lost its soul.
"Miss, please have some more bird's nest porridge. The kitchen has warmed it up three times already," said Cui'er, the personal maid, holding a small Ding kiln white porcelain bowl, urging her gently.
Qian Yueqiu seemed not to hear, her gaze fixed blankly on the window. After a long while, she shook her head very lightly, her chapped lips moving slightly, her voice as faint as a whisper: "Today... did anyone come to the gate of the mansion?"
Every time this happens...
When Cui'er answered, her nose tingled with tears: "Miss, no... no one from the Xie family came."
This has almost become a daily routine of questions and answers.
Qian Yueqiu asked persistently, and the maid answered with heartbreak.
