Chapter 166 Father and Daughter Breakup
Half an hour later, the heavy rain continued, with occasional thunder and lightning in the sky.
When Gu Xun appeared at the dungeon entrance holding a long sword, Dong Xue's face showed surprise: "Girl, Gu Xun is out."
At this time, the skirts of both Xie Rongying and her servant were soaked.
The rain and the dim light from the lanterns made Gu Xun at the entrance of the dungeon appear a little hazy, and Xie Rongying walked towards that direction.
Dongxue followed closely behind.
Gu Xun watched Xie Rongying approaching from afar, stretched out his hand in front of Xie Rongying, and opened his palm, which contained a token.
"Master, this group of people are from the Shi family." Gu Xun said in a deep voice.
Xie Rongying took the token. The token was probably quite old, and there were obvious traces of bumps on it.
She walked towards the dungeon entrance.
Shi family.
Xie Rongying had some impressions, but not much. The only thing she remembered was that Shi Yang, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, had a very good relationship with Xie Jing.
In Bian Jing, the Xie family and the Shi family are old friends.
So when Shi Yang appeared at the Xie family in broad daylight, Xie Rongying was still a little uncertain.
But thinking that Fengqing has fallen into her hands, the person behind the scenes will probably kill her to silence her.
But why did the Shi family arrange such a person by Xie Jing's side?
The Feng family of Chen County was also mentioned.
It's not just about wanting to give Xie Jing a woman.
After all, if you really want to send a woman to Xie Jing, there is no need to go through such a big circle.
While Xie Rongying's thoughts were drifting away, she had already arrived at the depths of the dungeon.
The torches on the stone wall swayed violently, causing the shadows on the ground to float slightly.
At this time, Feng Qing had already been shocked by the fight just now. She curled up in the innermost part of the cell, her whole body trembling slightly, and one hand was still tightly grasping the straw on the ground.
After Xie Rongying glanced at the man in black lying on the ground, her eyes fell on Feng Qing.
"Are these people here to save you or to kill you?"
Feng Qing looked at Xie Rongying through the gaps in her messy hair. What she didn't expect was that while she was thinking about how to deal with Xie Jing, Xie Rongying had already set her sights on her.
Maybe he had already set his sights on her even earlier.
But she wasn't abnormal at that time.
It was not until Xie Jing intended to let her into the Xie Mansion that Xie Rongying's bottom line was touched.
"You were able to fool my father so much, you must have known that these people were out to kill you." Xie Rongying gave the answer for Feng Qing.
Seeing that the woman curled up in the dungeon still had no intention of speaking, Xie Rongying chuckled, "A chess piece that knows too much will always make the player worried. If you don't succeed this time, there will be another time. Miss Fengqing, your life is in danger."
"What do you want to say?" Feng Qing gritted her teeth.
Xie Rongying's smile deepened: "I want to know what the person who allowed you to get close to my father is going to do."
"You are so capable, yet you still ask me?" Feng Qing said coldly.
Xie Rongying snorted and laughed: "Since you don't want to drink the toast, then how about something fun?"
Feng Qing suddenly looked up and stared at Xie Rongying who was staring at her coldly, and felt a chill down her spine.
"Drag her out for me." Xie Rongying ordered in a calm voice.
When Gu Xun heard this, he opened the lock of the cell, walked in and dragged Feng Qing out.
"Xie Rongying!" Feng Qing shrieked, "What are you going to do? I'm telling you, even if you take my life, your Xie family will be finished. Even without me, there will be someone else!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xun threw him to Xie Rongying's feet.
Xie Rongying looked down at the woman who was looking up at her angrily and sneered, "Is my Xie family almost finished?"
"Come on, tell me more."
Feng Qing didn't know why she felt more and more frightened when she saw Xie Rongying's calm face. She lowered her head and whispered, "A tall tree attracts the wind. Doesn't the Xie family know this truth?"
"There's only profit in the business world. My Xie family has given enough benefits to those in the business world. Obviously, it won't be those in the business world who will deal with my Xie family. Then the only ones left are the bureaucrats. Now that Dayin and the Jin people are at war, even the government knows that the Xie family is supplying medicine and food for the border war. Therefore, those who have personal grudges with the Xie family should not want to deal with them at this time."
Xie Rongying analyzed slowly, "So why are the people behind you targeting the Xie family at this time?"
Feng Qing chuckled a few times and didn't respond.
Seeing this, Xie Rongying looked at Gu Xun coldly.
Seeing this, Gu Xun was about to chop Feng Xing's right leg with the sword in his hand when he heard a cry of surprise: "Stop!"
Xie Rongying turned around suddenly and saw Xie Jing and Qin Junyi appear together.
Qin Junyi looked at Xie Rongying with a somewhat evasive look, but Xie Jing hurried forward, squatted down and helped Fengqing up from the ground.
Maybe Fengqing didn't expect Xie Jing to appear at this time.
Tears welled up in her eyes: "Brother Jing...you are here..."
Xie Jing looked at the completely different Feng Qing from the past, feeling very uncomfortable. He looked up at Xie Rongying and said, "Let her go. I have already told Jun Yi that I want to take her away."
Xie Rongying seemed to have heard something funny, and her gaze shifted from Qin Junyi to Xie Jing: "Take her away? Where? Is the father going to break up with his daughter because of this woman?"
"She was ordered around by someone. I heard everything you said just now." Xie Jing helped Feng Qing stand up, his tone pleading, "Rong Ying, please forgive her when you can. She didn't hurt me, and the Xie family didn't suffer any loss. I'll be more cautious in the future. Let her go."
Xie Rongying's gaze fell on Feng Qing, who was almost clinging to Xie Jing, and she sneered, "Dad, I won't force you. If you choose this woman today, our father-daughter relationship will be severed. If you still recognize me as your daughter, let this woman go, and I will pretend nothing happened."
"Rongying, you don't want to listen to me now, right?" Xie Jing stared at Xie Rongying without blinking: "She is Peizhi's niece. I can't let her get into trouble again. Back then, Peizhi..."
"That's enough!" Xie Rongying interrupted Xie Jing: "Since you want to choose this woman, don't blame your daughter for being rude!"
Qin Junyi said at this time: "Xie Rongying, how can you talk to your father like this?"
Xie Rongying stared at Qin Junyi coldly, and Qin Junyi immediately looked away.
Xie Jing also spoke: "You won't let her go, right?"
Xie Rongying looked directly at her father and laughed, "Once you've fallen into my hands, how can you escape alive?"
