Xiao Jiayi felt dizzy.
But she couldn't care less about that now.
She wiped the blood off her face with her sleeve, climbed up with difficulty, and without taking the time to check her injuries, she pulled Xie Yulin into her arms and hugged him tightly.
"Mom is fine, Mom is fine! Don't be afraid, Lin'er, Mom is always by your side."
Xie Yulin burst into tears in her arms.
Although he was naughty on weekdays, he was raised and spoiled by his family after all. How could he have ever seen such a scene?
I was frightened all of a sudden, my heart was filled with fear and panic, and there was nothing I could do except cry.
Xiao Jiayi took a deep breath, touched his head, and said word by word, "Lin'er, we can't stay here for long, we have to leave!"
Xie Yulin was stunned, his eyes blurred by crying, and he asked blankly with sobs, "Go? Where to?"
This is his home!
Where else can they go except here?
Xiao Jiayi bit her lip.
Of course she couldn't say it because she was worried about Xie Anjun's revenge.
The incident happened suddenly and Xie Anjun was caught off guard, but this does not mean that he has no backup plan!
If he guessed that today's incident was related to her, he would definitely get rid of her at all costs!
The Xie family is not a safe place, she must leave as soon as possible!
"Don't cry, Lin'er. Just follow me."
Xiao Jiayi carefully used her other relatively clean hand to wipe away the tears from Xie Yulin's face.
Xie Yulin was still feeling uneasy, but he nodded obediently, trying his best to hold back his tears, his body twitching.
Xiao Jiayi looked around.
There was a big commotion in the mansion, and everyone was in danger. The servants had already fled in all directions, and not even a single figure was left.
This was convenient for her.
Xiao Jiayi took Xie Yulin's hand and hurried in another direction!
…
The mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was very large. Xiao Jiayi and Xie Yulin walked outside for a long time and felt that the time was particularly unbearable.
Occasionally, when he encountered a servant fleeing, he would just glance at him quickly and then keep running.
The entire Xie family was in chaos.
As soon as she walked around the corridor, Xiao Jiayi heard a sharp and shrill woman's cry coming from the room next door.
Xiao Jiayi paused and looked sideways, only to see a maid running out in panic with blood on her hands and a look of panic on her face.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!" She looked very young. Xiao Jiayi was not familiar with this face. She must have just arrived at the Xie family not long ago. "Our wife is having her period! Hurry up and call the midwife!"
Because of fear, her voice was trembling and crying.
However, no one paid any attention to her.
Everyone was coming in and out, busy packing up their gold and silver jewelry and escaping. Who would care about a woman who was about to give birth?
Xiao Jiayi quickly realized that this should be the mistress that Xie Anjun brought back, and the little maid who served her.
Counting the days, it seems... it's premature?
Realizing this, Xiao Jiayi showed a hint of satisfaction on her face.
There is retribution in the world!
The little maid stood at the door and shouted for a long time but no one paid any attention. Inside the house, the woman's crying gradually became more shrill and then gradually disappeared.
Xiao Jiayi sneered and said slowly, "Don't shout. No one cares about you now. You should go back and see how your 'wife' is doing. After all... a woman has to go through the gates of hell to give birth."
When the little maidservant was in a panic, she only saw Xiao Jiayi with blood all over her face from afar. When she met the pair of mocking eyes, she couldn't help but shudder.
At this time, Xiao Jiayi was very thin, and because of the torture for days, even the sides of her cheeks were slightly sunken. Coupled with the scarlet bloodstains on her face, she looked like a ghost from hell claiming her life!
The little maidservant was so frightened that her face turned pale. She stepped back weakly and tripped over the threshold and fell heavily.
But she didn't have time to care about all this. She barely stood up by holding on to the door frame, then turned around and quickly walked back into the house.
After a moment, a desperate cry was heard -
"lady!"
The cry was quickly drowned out by the noise in the yard.
But Xiao Jiayi heard it clearly.
She only felt that the foul air in her chest was instantly cleared away, and her whole body felt comfortable.
Previously she thought that her life was over, but at this moment, she felt that God was not too unkind to her.
Xie Yulin didn't understand what was going on, but he was startled by the crying and shrank back unconsciously, hiding behind Xiao Jiayi.
He hated coming to this place the most on weekdays. He knew that after the woman inside came, life would become difficult for him and his mother.
He asked timidly, "Mom, is she dead?"
Xiao Jiayi came back to her senses, smiled and touched his head.
"That's not something Lin'er should worry about. Let's go."
Xie Yulin nodded as if he understood, followed her obediently, and soon left the crying behind.
However, as they walked, Xiao Jiayi discovered something was wrong.
She frowned and slowed her pace.
When she brought Xie Yulin to the front yard, her uneasiness was confirmed.
In the courtyard, countless servants were standing densely.
They were either nervous or scared, and obviously panicked, but at this moment they all remained silent.
This scene looks really strange.
Xiao Jiayi vaguely guessed something and walked forward a few steps. Finally, through the heavy crowd, she saw the imperial guards standing guard outside the gate!
——They actually split their troops into two groups, one team took Xie Anjun into the palace to meet the emperor, and the other team stayed behind to seal off the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery!
Xiao Jiayi became anxious.
In this situation, it is clear that no one will be let out!
Then she——
Just then, the sound of horse hooves rang out.
It seems someone is coming.
Xiao Jiayi saw the imperial guards at the door all looking in the direction where the voice came from and saluted respectfully.
The person who came must be a person of noble status.
Xiao Jiayi stood on tiptoe, trying to see more clearly.
Finally, she saw a glimpse of snow-white clothing.
——Chen Yanchuan!
Xiao Jiayi opened her eyes wide in shock, with countless thoughts flashing through her mind.
Why would Shen Yanchuan come at this time?
Just when she was puzzled, she saw Shen Yanchuan talking to the imperial guards and then looked inside.
Almost in an instant, his eyes were locked on Xiao Jiayi who was hiding behind the crowd.
The moment they looked at each other, Xiao Jiayi felt as if she had been seen through!
She lowered her head in panic, turned around and wanted to run, but Shen Yanchuan had already spoken.
His tone was calm, but he would not tolerate any disobedience.
"By order of the Princess, please invite the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery to the palace."
Xiao Jiayi's whole body stiffened!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone realized something and turned around to look.
Only then did they remember that the Xie family had a "Lady of the Loyal and Brave Marquis" who had disappeared for a long time - Xiao Jiayi.
Xiao Jiayi felt like a thorn in her back.
She bit her lip, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, then she slowly turned around and spoke with difficulty.
"…Since it is the order of the eldest princess, I will obey it." (End of this chapter)
