Chapter 167 The Last Time
Feng Qing listened to Xie Rongying's words, leaned her whole body against Xie Jing, and wrapped her arms tightly around Xie Jing's neck.
"Brother Jing...save me."
This weak yet somewhat bewitching voice sounded particularly clear in the dungeon.
Xie Jing hugged Feng Qing tightly and comforted her: "It's okay, I will take you out."
Xie Rongying looked at the scene of love between a man and a woman, and in her bright eyes there was a hint of coldness as well as a hint of amusement.
Just when Xie Jing thought that Xie Rongying had agreed that he could leave with Fengqing, and had just taken two steps, he heard Xie Rongying speak in a cold voice.
"Father has decided to take this woman away no matter what, right?"
Xie Jing glanced sideways and met Xie Rongying's gaze. "Rongying, forgive her when you can. She didn't hurt you, and she didn't hurt me either."
"Really?" Xie Rongying walked up to Xie Jing, her eyebrows raised slightly. "Then, father, have you ever thought about why this charming girl appeared by your side when Fourth Uncle was helping Dayin to quell the war?"
As Xie Rongying spoke, she pointed at the men in black lying dead on the ground around her.
"When a chess piece is exposed, the first thought of the chess player is to kill it to silence it. This is enough to show that the chess piece is useful and knows too much. However, the player is afraid that the chess piece cannot withstand the torture and will reveal the secrets, so he has to get rid of it quickly."
"Father took an unidentified pawn from his daughter for a woman who's been dead for over twenty years." Xie Rongying sneered and questioned, "And he even dreamed of bringing her back to the Xie family. What kind of situation does father want to put the Xie family in?"
"From my great-great-grandfather to my grandfather, and then to your generation, how much did the first and second branches of the Xie family sacrifice to allow the Xie family to take root in Bianjing?"
"Father, have you really never considered the interests involved in this?" Xie Rongying continued, noticing Xie Jing's resolute expression softening. "Or is it that Father clearly knew about the connection, and simply because this woman bears a passing resemblance to the woman you betrayed in your youth, and claims to be Feng Peizhi's niece, you're still willing to protect her even though you know she has ulterior motives?"
Xie Jing listened to his daughter's questioning word by word with a stern look in his eyes.
This time, he really did not put the future of the Xie family first, but thought that the only relative of the woman he had let down was still alive, and he just wanted to protect Feng Qing.
It was as if he was protecting the woman he wanted to protect but failed to protect.
But Xie Rongying's words were forcing Xie Jing to look directly at the current situation of the Xie family.
Someone had murderous intentions towards Xie Jing, someone wanted to take action against the Xie family, so this situation appeared in his world.
"Dad, I've said this. If you listen to me and let this woman go, go back immediately. If you insist on taking her away..."
"What will happen if you take him away?" Xie Jing interrupted Xie Rongying coldly and asked.
Feng Qing hugged Xie Jing tightly, her voice soft and gentle: "Brother Jing, please don't abandon me, she will kill me. You couldn't save my aunt back then. Do you also want me to be like her?"
Xie Rongying's eyes darkened, knowing that everything she had just said was a waste of words. She said coldly, "Gu Xun."
In just a moment, Gu Xun's figure flashed in Xie Jing's sight, and then he heard the sound of a bone breaking.
"ah!"
Feng Qing screamed, and Gu Xun twisted her arm and quickly pulled her off Xie Jing's body.
"Qing Yun!" When Xie Jing reacted, Feng Qing was already lying on the ground, with his right hand broken and twisted on Feng Qing's body.
Just as Xie Jing was about to walk over, Gu Xun pointed the sword in his hand at Xie Jing.
When Qin Junyi saw this scene, his expression changed slightly and he subconsciously took two steps back.
"Xie Rongying!" Xie Jing looked at the long sword pointed at him: "What are you going to do? Are you going to kill your father?"
Xie Rongying walked to Gu Xun's side, took the long sword from Gu Xun's hand, and stared at Xie Jing gloomily: "Of course a daughter would not dare to kill her father."
As he spoke, he took the long sword from Gu Xun, pointed it at Xie Jing, and then slowly towards the ground. Feng Qing's face was distorted with pain.
"But my daughter won't have any qualms about killing her."
Xie Jing had never seen Xie Rongying like this before. In the past, when he was in the mansion, he had at most seen his daughter dealing with the concubines in his backyard with great vigor and decisiveness, or doing some work for her grandmother in the shops in Bian Jing.
But like now, holding a long sword against someone.
"Rongying, okay, father promised you not to take her away, please spare her." Xie Jing didn't dare to act rashly while speaking: "Qingyun, tell my daughter everything you know. If you don't, she will really take your life!"
How could Feng Qing, who was immersed in pain, listen to Xie Jing's words?
"Father is still thinking about how to keep this woman alive, right?" The long sword in Xie Rongying's hand was now against Feng Qing's neck.
Xie Jing knew that Xie Rongying was dissatisfied with him for still caring about Feng Qing's safety, so he said, "Okay, I won't say anything. She is at your disposal. Ask her whatever you want."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Rongying curled her red lips and raised her sword.
A white light flashed in the dungeon, and at the moment when Xie Jing and Qin Junyi's pupils dilated, Feng Qing's head was separated from her neck.
"Xie Rongying!" Xie Jing looked at the scene where the head was separated from the body and blood was gushing out, his voice trembling: "You, how dare you, Xie Rongying!"
Xie Rongying lowered her eyes slightly, looking at the head rolling down at her feet. Her face was still filled with fear. She ordered Dongxue, "Go and ask the people in the mansion to throw this dirty thing into the mass grave. If the wild dogs in the mass grave are not full, don't come back."
"Yes, young madam!" It was the first time that Dongxue had seen such a vicious girl. After saying that, she turned around and quickly walked out of the dungeon.
Xie Rongying looked up at Xie Jing, whose face was pale and incredulous, and said coldly, "From the moment this woman fell into my hands, I never thought about getting the truth from her. I kept her until now just to see who would come to take her life."
For the first time, Xie Jing stared at his daughter with fear in his eyes.
"Dad, I will never allow anyone to touch the Xie family." When saying this, Xie Rongying was looking at Qin Junyi.
Qin Junyi looked at Xie Rongying's fearless expression, and when he thought that Xie Rongying could use anyone around her to deal with the person she wanted to deal with, a hint of fear appeared in his pupils.
Xie Rongying walked towards Qin Junyi, but Qin Junyi didn't move. When Xie Rongying approached him, he said coldly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Young Marquis, this is the last time." Xie Rongying warned with a chuckle.
"What last time?"
She tilted her head slightly and stared at Qin Junyi with a sneer: "This is the last time you interfere in my Xie family's affairs. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"
