Chapter 257: Beast in Human Clothes
Xie Jing put his arms around Feng Peizhi's shoulders and let Feng Peizhi's head rest on his legs. He looked at the blood that kept spreading out, which completely stung his eyes.
"Peizhi?" Xie Jing's voice trembled slightly. He held Feng Peizhi's chin with one hand. Blood had blurred Feng Peizhi's neck and Xie Jing's hand. "Peizhi, I'll take you to see a doctor. Peizhi, you must hold on!"
As he spoke, Xie Jing let go of Feng Peizhi and was about to pick Feng Peizhi up horizontally when a scream was heard outside the courtyard.
"Mother!" Feng Qinghuan rushed forward in panic and pushed Xie Jing away. She looked at her mother's neck covered in blood. The smell of blood made her completely collapse: "Mother!"
Feng Qinghuan knelt down and stroked Feng Peizhi's pale cheek with trembling hands.
At this time, Xie Jing stared at the profile that looked similar to Feng Peizhi, feeling a little dazed.
Just as Xie Jing was in a trance, Feng Qinghuan suddenly looked up, staring at Xie Jing fiercely with a pair of bloodshot eyes, gritting his teeth and saying, "You killed my mother!"
Xie Jing came back to his senses and stared at Feng Qinghuan in shock.
"You killed my mother!" Feng Qinghuan repeated, "Why? Why did you do this?!"
Xie Jing was shocked and didn't know how to explain.
Feng Qinghuan seemed to have predicted Xie Jing's shock, and quickly continued to roar, "Why did you kill my mother? Why?!"
"No, it's not me." Just as Xie Jing finished speaking, Chu Wennan strode in.
When Xie Jing saw Chu Wennan walk in with a group of servants, he felt a sense of powerlessness deep in his heart.
He knew that coming to the prefectural government was a hell of a place, but he still came.
Seeing Feng Peizhi's fate, he met Chu Wennan's gaze: "Chu Wennan! Is this what you and Shi Nian planned? If you want to deal with me and my Xie family, just come directly. Why hurt an innocent person!"
Chu Wennan sneered: "Xie Jing, what are you talking about? Are you saying that I killed Pei Zhi?"
Before Xie Jing could react, he heard Chu Wennan speak again: "Someone! Take him away!"
Xie Jing looked at the servant walking towards him, his eyes locked tightly: "Chu Wennan, if you still have a conscience, go and ask the doctor to come!"
Having been in the officialdom for so many years, Xie Jing naturally knew that today's incident was planned in advance by Chu Wennan and Shi Nian.
As for why Feng Peizhi ended up like this, it was probably because he did not expect that he would die after seeing Xie Jing.
After Xie Jing was carried out of the courtyard by the servant, Chu Wennan walked over to Feng Qinghuan. He bent down and helped Feng Qinghuan up: "Qinghuan, now that things have come to this, the Xie family should be destroyed. The grievances your mother has endured over the years cannot be in vain."
Feng Qinghuan broke free from Chu Wennan's hand and stared coldly at Feng Peizhi who was lying in a pool of blood.
She hated the woman for giving birth to her.
She also hated the woman who gave birth to her but had to rely on another man to survive.
She hated Xie Jing for putting her and her daughter into such dire straits.
I hate even more the beast in human clothing standing next to me.
"My mother has repaid your favor. We, mother and daughter, don't owe you anything anymore, Lord Chu." Feng Qinghuan glanced at Chu Wennan, the fierceness in her eyes clearly visible.
Chu Wennan was not unfamiliar with Feng Qinghuan's eyes. Ever since Feng Qinghuan came of age, he could see such a fierce look in Feng Qinghuan's eyes every once in a while.
"Qinghuan, you helped me with a big thing today. I will treat you well in the future." As Chu Wennan spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Feng Qinghuan's arm.
Feng Qinghuan took a step back, the disgust in his eyes not concealed at all: "Master Chu, Xie Jing is now in your hands. If you want to prove his guilt, you still need me as a witness. So, Master Chu, can you give me what I deserve?"
Seeing Feng Qinghuan's expression, Chu Wennan put away the smile on his face, took out a relatively long brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to Feng Qinghuan.
Feng Qinghuan took it and opened it immediately.
"This is the indenture between you and your mother. I'm returning it to you now." Chu Wennan said calmly.
Feng Qinghuan quickly took out a contract of sale and opened it to take a look. Seeing that it was stamped with an official seal and didn't look fake, he put it away again. Then he looked at Chu Wennan and said, "I can handle my mother myself. Master Chu, please go and do what you should do."
Chu Wennan glanced at the brocade box in Feng Qinghuan's hand, then turned around. Just at this moment, Shi Nian came in from the courtyard gate.
"Lord Chu, General Shangguan is here." While speaking, Shi Nian glanced at Feng Qinghuan and Feng Peizhi who was lying in a pool of blood.
Chu Wennan's eyes showed a bit of panic: "Why is the general here?"
"Let's go." Shi Nian hurriedly followed Chu Wennan out of the courtyard.
After Feng Qinghuan saw the people leave, he looked towards the main house with the door wide open and said, "Why don't you come out and take them away!"
As soon as the words fell, a man dressed as a maid walked out of the main house. He first looked around and then walked towards Feng Qinghuan: "Qinghuan, is everything arranged?"
"Everything has been arranged. Take my mother away first." Feng Qinghuan said.
The man glanced at Feng Peizhi, who was lying in a pool of blood, and asked, "What about you? When will you join me?"
"I'll join you after I've dealt with my affairs, but you have to take good care of my mother." Feng Qinghuan handed the brocade box to the man and stared at his hand seriously: "Yu Shu, please, take good care of my mother."
"Qinghuan." A look of confusion flashed across Yu Shu's eyes, but he picked up Feng Peizhi under Feng Qinghuan's gaze.
"Hurry up and leave through the side door. I have already packed everything." Feng Qinghuan said.
Yu Shu held Feng Peizhi and walked out of the yard without looking back.
Feng Qinghuan felt mixed emotions, as if something that had been restrained for a long time was finally released, and she felt refreshed as if she could finally do what she had always wanted to do but couldn't.
She made up her mind, walked out of the yard and headed in another direction.
——
Yunyi Lane in the south of the city.
When Huaian strode into the main house, Xie Rongying and Xie Changfeng were discussing something.
The brother and sister noticed that Huaian looked unhappy.
Xie Changfeng spoke first: "Did something happen to my uncle?"
Huaian nodded: "The master was taken to prison by Chu Wennan, the governor of Yizhou, on the pretext that he had killed Madam Feng."
When Xie Rongying, who was sitting in the main seat, heard Madam Feng, she sneered silently. Why did she feel that the other party's methods should not be so clumsy?
Shouldn't Xie Jing be allowed to deal with Feng Peizhi, whom he has been thinking about for a long time before achieving his goal?
Could it be that the story behind this is more complicated than she imagined?
"Young lady, are you going to rescue the master tonight, or are you going to wait and see?" Huai'an asked again, "Gu Xun is watching over the master right now."
Xie Rongying sensed something was wrong and said, "Let's bring father back tonight."
This lesson should make Xie Jing give up.
