Chapter 155 Are you crazy?
"Lord, the Cui clan has returned."
Xie Xi received the news earlier than the Cui family.
Something happened last night. Xie Luo's attendant knew that something was wrong, so he sent someone down the mountain overnight. This morning, as soon as the city gate opened, he hurried back to report.
At that time, Xie Xi had not woken up yet. He was so shocked that he was dumbfounded. He thought that the two of them were murdered. Even though Xie Xi was a playboy and did not care about food, Madam Cui was not stupid.
Incest between aunt and nephew, how is it possible?
After sitting in the house for half a day, Xie Xi finally came back to his senses after hearing the news. He drank a cup of tea, tidied himself up a little, and then took his people to the main house of the Cui family.
But this time, he was stopped outside the main house.
"The Fourth Master said that Mr. Xie Dalang should go back first."
With the head of the Cui family away and the eldest son Cui Xu unable to establish himself, the people in charge of the main house now are Mr. Cui Si and his wife.
"I want to see Mr. Cui Si." Xie Xi's tone was a little cold. "Please ask him to meet me."
After all, Xie Xi was the eldest son of the Xie family in Laizhou. The servant had no choice but to report again. Mr. Cui Si and Cui Changyou and others were discussing how to deal with Madam Cui and Xie Lu. He frowned when he heard this, thought about it, and finally decided to meet him.
"Have him wait in the guest garden. I'll be there soon. Everyone, please sit down for a while."
Mr. Cui Si left and went to meet Xie Xi. Both sides exchanged greetings and then sat down.
Xie Xi said, "Master Cui, is there some misunderstanding here? Although our fourth brother is a bit of a playboy, my aunt has been married to the Cui family for many years. Everyone knows what kind of person she is. She would never do such a ridiculous thing."
"If they were harmed by someone, my Xie family will definitely not let it go."
"Xie Dalang, please don't be angry." Seeing Xie Xi's face dark with anger, Mr. Cui sighed and said, "Xie Lu has woken up. I asked him, and he said he just went to see his aunt. I don't know how he ended up like that."
"My sister-in-law has also asked a doctor to see her. I heard that she was poisoned by Qian Jinjiao's medicine."
When Xie Xi heard this, his expression changed and he slammed his hand on the table: "Someone must have harmed them! This is outrageous!"
Mr. Cui Si said: "My sister-in-law might have been murdered by someone, but what happened between her and Xie Silang was indeed a coincidence. Xie Silang happened to go to see my sister-in-law last night. Coincidentally, Xie Silang was used to being a playboy and had always had the habit of taking medicine. He also took Wushisan yesterday, and then the two of them..."
It's like dry wood meeting fire and it catches fire.
Xie Xi was stunned for a moment: "What about the servants? Was there no one to stop them?"
Fourth Master Cui said, "Before the incident, Fourth Lady disappeared. Eldest Sister-in-law was worried and sent all the servants out to look for her, but there was no one around."
"What a coincidence?" Xie Xi didn't believe it. "Where's Si Niang? Why did she disappear?"
Fourth Master Cui said, "When we found Si Niang last night, she said she got lost while walking and fell asleep in the rockery. That's why she didn't hear anyone calling her and was delayed for a while. Who would have known that this delay would lead to such an accident?"
"That's impossible." Xie Xi didn't believe it. "How can there be so many coincidences in this world? Maybe someone deliberately arranged it."
"But it's just such a coincidence." Fourth Master Cui also didn't believe it, but it was such a coincidence. "It's true that Si Niang got lost and fell asleep. It's also true that the servant was sent out by the eldest sister-in-law to look for someone. It's also true that Xie Si Lang went to look for the eldest sister-in-law at that time."
"It can only be Qian Jinjiao? It's impossible that my aunt was poisoned by this medicine for no reason, right?"
"I've asked about this, and the servants said they don't know when she was poisoned. Right now, if we want to investigate, we can only wait until she wakes up and ask her."
Xie Xi's face looked grim. According to this statement, Mrs. Cui might have been drugged, but coincidentally, Cui Yun disappeared, and Mrs. Cui sent her servants out, leaving a loophole.
At this time, Xie Luo, who had taken the "Five Stones Powder" again, went to see Madam Cui. The effect of Madam Cui's medicine took effect, and the two of them were so passionate that they didn't care about anything else...
"Is Fourth Brother awake? I want to see him."
"That won't do." Fourth Master Cui refused directly. "My eldest sister-in-law hasn't woken up yet. The Cui family hasn't asked about the situation yet. We can't let you see anyone first."
"Master Xie, you should know that I'm willing to see you today and keep Xie Lu around because I want to give face to your Xie family and get to the bottom of this matter. If you continue to pester me, I'll have Xie Lu beaten to death."
Bullying one's aunt is a crime worthy of death. Even if Xie Luo dies a thousand or ten thousand times, it is not a pity.
Xie Xi's face was still ugly, but he still had some rationality. He knew that this was the Cui family's territory and it was useless to make a fuss.
If the Cui family is angered, it is possible that Madam Cui and Xie Luo will be killed directly.
"In that case, I will wait for the Cui family to find out the truth."
"good."
Xie Xi didn't ask anything and had to get up and leave, but just as he reached the door of the main house, Cui Yun caught up with him.
"Cousin—eldest cousin—"
Xie Xi looked back and saw Cui Yun hurrying over.
When Cui Yun saw Xie Xi, she became anxious: "Cousin, please think of a way to save my mother. My mother...she was murdered!"
"Who killed her? What do you know?"
"It's Cui Si, it must be her...she..."
Before Cui Yun finished speaking, Xie Xi glanced at her and told her to stop. After she shut up, he said, "Come with me, have some tea over there, and then tell me in detail."
Cui Yun nodded, then ordered someone to prepare a carriage, and followed Xie Xi to the house where Xie Xi was temporarily staying, and told him about their plan against Cui Si.
The more Xie Xi listened, the uglier his expression became. The hand holding the teacup was bulging with joints.
"Are you crazy?!"
Are you crazy?
Even if the Xie family wanted to marry this princess, they should have come and proposed marriage openly, and the candidate could not have been Xie Luo, who was a playboy, had countless concubines and was brainless.
They are so bold as to destroy someone's innocence and take the opportunity to ask for marriage!
Cui Yun was startled by Xie Xi and whispered, "But, but Cui Si has already been engaged. How can she marry him without some special means?
This is the best solution. Besides, my fourth cousin is also very fond of Cui Si, so this way, we can have the best of both worlds."
Xie Xi was almost pissed off by this 'best of both worlds' approach.
"What's so beautiful about this? My Xie family doesn't necessarily need to marry a princess."
If the Xie family really surrendered to Northern Yan, the position of queen would be their goal. A sister-in-law, even if she was a daughter of the Cui family, would still lack some weight.
Cui Yun didn't dare to say that she and Madam Cui were fighting over the idea of having the Xie family support her as queen. She said, "Brother, the most important thing right now is to rescue mother and fourth cousin. I know it must be Cui Si who did it."
Cui Yun's hatred grew stronger as she spoke: "She is truly vicious. My mother is her aunt, yet she dared to destroy her. Cousin, you must find evidence that she harmed my mother so that you can expose her true colors."
