Chapter 233 Secret Execution
Although Old Lady Xie and Xie Lin knew that Xie Rongying's words "patricide" contained a threatening element, the mother and son were still shocked by Xie Rongying's words.
Xie Jing was the same. He looked up at his daughter who was staring at him solemnly, his pupils trembling slightly.
"You, how dare you say such outrageous words?" Xie Jing slowly stood up as he spoke these words. The anger in his eyes became clearer and clearer, as if he didn't dare to vent his anger on Madam Xie, but this woman in front of him could: "How dare you say such words to your father!?"
Xie Rongying knew what kind of person Xie Jing was, so that's why she killed him in one move after the true identity of Concubine Chen was revealed.
Xie Rongying didn't know how much involvement Concubine Chen had in the previous affair, but she knew that Concubine Chen must have had some influence.
When Xie Rongying found out that Concubine Chen was Feng Qingyun, she knew that this person must be eliminated.
Xie Jing was willing to go through fire and water for Feng Qing just because he had spent a few days with her. After learning of Concubine Chen's true identity, how could he stand idly by and watch Concubine Chen's fate?
Just like now, after Xie Jing knew that the Concubine Chen was Feng Peizhi, he actually wanted to visit her in prison.
"Father, how else do you want your daughter to talk to you?" Xie Rongying met Xie Jing's questioning gaze. "Father wants to go to the prison to visit Concubine Chen. What do you want to visit? Putting aside the position your visit will put the Xie family in, let's just talk about what you will say to Concubine Chen."
Xie Jing was stunned and could only stare at Xie Rongying without blinking.
"Could it be that father wants Concubine Chen to use you as a lifeline after seeing you?" Xie Rongying said this with a hint of sarcasm on her lips: "Or does father want to be Concubine Chen's lifeline?"
"Nonsense!" How could Xie Jing admit that his inner thoughts were exposed by Xie Rongying? "You also know what Chen Fei did wrong. I just wanted to go see her! Can my visit change anything?"
"Let's see?" Xie Rongying stared at Xie Jing deeply. "Then, father, tell your daughter what you mean by 'let's see'?"
"You!" Xie Jing didn't expect Xie Rongying to disregard his dignity at all: "I'm your father! You're interrogating your father!"
"That's enough!" Old Madam Xie shouted, "Rongying, come here and sit down!"
Xie Rongying glanced sideways and saw that Madam Xie's wrinkled face was full of vicissitudes of life. His originally cold eyes softened instantly and he sat down obediently beside Madam Xie.
When Xie Jing saw the angry look on Madam Xie's face, he immediately lowered his head.
"As soon as the Feng family is mentioned, you throw all your concerns and dangers to the back of your mind. Rongying's injuries haven't even healed yet, and you've forgotten how she escaped death?" Old Madam Xie felt increasingly disheartened as she spoke. "Back then, the Feng family incident caused you and the Yan family to despise each other. Don't you think that's enough? Do you want you and your daughter to have no contact with each other for the rest of your lives?"
There was a hint of emotion in Xie Jing's eyes, but he still kept his head down and said nothing.
"I don't know what's going on in your mind, but Rongying is right. If you put the safety of the Xie family behind your mind, I will never allow you to do anything reckless!" When Mrs. Xie said the word "reckless", she slammed her hands on the small table.
The sound of beating made everyone feel even heavier in their hearts.
"With the situation in Dayin about to change, if the Xie family makes trouble at this time, they will be the first to be killed after the change, or become victims of the powerful in the chaos. You have been in the officialdom for so many years, I don't believe you can't see the current situation clearly!" Old Madam Xie stared at Xie Jing deeply: "Speak!"
Only then did Xie Jing dare to raise his head and look at Old Madam Xie, saying, "Mother, I have no other intentions."
Old Madam Xie stared at Xie Jing with disappointment in her eyes. After a long while, she finally uttered a helpless word: "You are far worse than your father."
Xie Jing's expression changed slightly, and he saw Mrs. Xie stand up, and Mother Sun immediately stepped forward to help her.
"From now on, the Xie family will be run by the second son and Rong Ying." Old Madam Xie glanced at Xie Jing with disappointment: "You can do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with my Xie family."
"Mother." Xie Jing took a step forward and wanted to get closer to Old Madam Xie.
Mother Sun stood in front of Xie Jing and said, "Master, the old lady is very tired today." As she spoke, Mother Sun looked at Xie Rongying and Xie Lin and said, "Second Master and Miss, please go back as well. It's getting late."
After saying that, Mother Sun helped Old Madam Xie walk towards the inner room.
Xie Rongying stood up first and walked out of the house, while Xie Lin glanced at Xie Jing and walked out.
Xie Jing stood there for a moment, then turned and walked out of the main house.
After seeing that everyone had left, Mother Sun walked out of the outer room and closed the door. When she walked back into the inner room, she saw that there was no emotion on the old lady's face.
She stepped forward and comforted him, "Old Madam, the young lady will not allow the master to continue to act so willfully."
Old Madam Xie seemed to have finally found a word that could describe Xie Jing. Her eyes shifted to Mother Sun and said, "You're right, Xie Jing is willful. He's still willful at this age, and his heart is still as willful as a young boy. It's really a misfortune for the Xie family!"
Seeing that Old Madam Xie's chest was heaving violently again, Mother Sun stepped forward and patted her back, "Old Madam, don't worry. The young lady and the Second Master won't let the Master continue to be so willful."
"Don't let Xie Jing jump around in front of me. I don't want to see this rebellious son!" Old Lady Xie said viciously.

Liyun Courtyard.
After Xie Rongying returned to the courtyard, she arranged for Bai Lin to go to Xie Jing's courtyard and keep an eye on Xie Jing. As long as he saw Xie Jing planning to leave the house, he would knock him out and lock him up.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xie Rongying received news from Prince Wei's Mansion.
The Crown Prince secretly executed Concubine Chen and the Second Prince in prison.
"Really?" Xie Rongying listened to Chang Ning's words. Although the fate of Concubine Chen was somewhat within her expectations, she did not expect it to happen so soon.
"I saw it with my own eyes. The Concubine Chen and the Second Prince were both executed by the Crown Prince with a bowl of poison. As for Zheng Pingxi, his end was more miserable." Chang Ning said truthfully.
Xie Rongying smiled and said, "I understand. Thank you, Your Highness, for letting you tell me."
"Of course, of course." Chang Ning said, and then bowed: "Thank you, Miss. It's getting late. I will go back first."
"Okay." Xie Rongying looked at Gu Xun who was standing in the corner of the room and said, "Gu Xun, please show the guest out."
"Yes." Gu Xun walked out from the darkness, looked at Chang Ning, and made a gesture of invitation.
Chang Ning smiled awkwardly: "You're welcome."
After Gu Xun led Chang Ning away, about a while later, Bai Lin and Gu Xun walked into the main house together.
"Miss, as you guessed, the master did want to leave the house, but he was knocked unconscious by his subordinates, taken back to his yard, and tied up." Bai Lin said.
Xie Rongying said, "Dongxue, go tell Grandmother right away that I will take my father to Lingnan to recuperate tomorrow. I will have my second uncle write a letter of resignation and submit it to the court."
