Chapter 174 What a big drama
Liu didn't dare to play tricks on Xie Zhuoning anymore and confessed everything honestly.
"He Jinyun is crazy! She will do anything to save her husband! She even plans to send Qing'er to the Fifth Master of the Jiang Family and let him persuade Duke Zhao to ask the Crown Prince for mercy!"
The Fifth Master of the Jiang Family, who is that person?
He had three wives, but none of them had a happy ending.
There were a lot of concubines and maids in his house. It was said that none of the maids serving in the fifth room who were even slightly pretty could escape his clutches.
Not to mention the lovers in the red-light districts and mistresses kept in various courtyards, the number of which is simply countless.
Like Jiang Yao, although he is romantic, he is not vulgar.
Unlike his fifth uncle, who is not only very old but also dirty and sick. Knowing his background, who would be willing to send their daughter to suffer?
Since He Jinyun had decided to send Xie Zhiqing over, it was obvious that he was sending her over as a plaything.
Who cares about the life or death of a toy?
Xie Zhuoning suddenly thought of a possibility -
The reason why He Jinyun went against his usual behavior and was so kind to take Xie Zhiqing to the chrysanthemum viewing conference was probably to take her to be seen by Mr. Jiang Wu, right?
That's why no one stopped Xie Zhiqing when she jumped out to dance.
Because at that time, He Jinyun had already secretly gone to find Mr. Jiang Wu when no one was paying attention to her and sold Xie Zhiqing out!
Thinking of this, Xie Zhuoning came to his senses and asked Liu, "Why didn't you go to find your uncle or grandmother, but ran out of the house to find me?"
There are the head of the family and the old lady in the Xie Mansion, so they should be the first ones to look for someone.
Liu lowered her head and wiped away her tears. "My husband has been very busy with official duties recently and comes home almost at dusk every day. My wife is also seriously ill and can't even speak clearly while lying on the hospital bed. How can she make decisions for me?"
This was not the first or second time that Madam Xie had been "ill", so much so that when Xie Zhuoning heard that she had an acute illness, he was not sure whether it was true or not.
Who knows, maybe she turned a blind eye on it in order to save her precious grandson?
As she was thinking, Aunt Liu grabbed her skirt and begged anxiously, "Miss, please save Qing'er! You are the only one who can save her now!"
"Where is he?"
"He Jinyun found a sedan chair and carried Qing'er to the Jiang family's villa!"
Xie Zhuoning didn't bother to change her clothes, but after thinking about it, she decided to take Chiyu with her, and also chose a sachet from the medicine box that Song Yuqiu left for her and put it on her.
Taking Xia Ju with her and calling some guards from the Marquis's Mansion, she rushed to the Jiang family's villa as quickly as possible.
A small red sedan was parked at the gate of the villa, obviously the person had been delivered.
Xie Zhuoning's eyes turned cold when he saw this, and he led his men in directly.
The servants in the other courtyard were fighting with the guards she brought with her. When she brought Xia Ju into the yard, she saw several guards dressed in fierce clothes surrounding them.
"Miss, please step back!"
Xia Ju shook her wrist, and golden silk threads shot out from the bracelet. She was alone against several people, but she was not at a disadvantage at all.
At this moment, a scream came from inside the house, "Ah, don't... please... don't..."
The voice of Xie Zhiqing was filled with humble pleading.
Xie Zhuoning didn't care about anything else and rushed straight into the house.
But surprisingly, there was no one else in the room except Xie Zhiqing.
She was stunned, "Third sister, what's going on?"
Xie Zhiqing stood up and closed the door. Was there not even a trace of fear on her face?
Even his usual humility and timidity were gone, replaced by a flash of madness in his eyes.
"Big sister, how can you be so kind? You are so kind that I am like a rat hiding in the dark."
"That's right, you are the eldest daughter of a high and mighty Marquis's mansion, and I am just a concubine's daughter, how can I compare with you?"
"You will always be the center of attention. Without the crown prince, you will immediately attract the favor of King Xuan. And no matter what I do, I can only be someone else's foil..."
"Just based on what? Based on what!"
Her face suddenly turned grim, as if she was filled with resentment and had finally found an outlet to vent.
Xie Zhuoning looked at her crazy appearance and narrowed his eyes, "Xie Zhiqing, what do you want?"
She went to so much trouble to trick herself into coming here, didn't she, just to say this nonsense?
Xie Zhiqing came back to her senses, stared at her and laughed, "What do I want? I want you, big sister, to be miserable!"
"You told me not to ride a horse, saying it was dangerous, but you yourself were the one who stole the show in the competition!"
"When I saw everyone's eyes, especially His Royal Highness Xuan's, all on you, do you know what I was thinking? I was wondering why your horse didn't suddenly lose control and throw you to death?"
The hatred in those eyes seemed to be real, like a sharp knife piercing into one's heart.
Xie Zhuoning originally wanted to explain that she had never ridden a horse before and would get hurt if she wasn't careful, so not letting her ride a horse was for the sake of her life.
But the moment he met her eyes, Xie Zhuoning suddenly felt that there was no need for any explanation.
"So you took out the hairpin and stabbed the horse, forcing it to go crazy and rush around. You wanted to kill me, right?"
Xie Zhiqing was surprised, "How do you know..."
Xie Zhuoning raised his eyebrows, thinking she was naive. "Why do you think the Princess and His Royal Highness Prince Xuan didn't investigate this matter thoroughly after it happened in the Duke's Mansion?"
Because the moment she took the hairpin from Xiao Jinxuan's hand, she already knew who did it, so she begged Xiao Jinxuan to let her handle it herself.
At that time she still held on to a glimmer of hope and was afraid that she had wrongly accused someone, so she asked Banxia to take the hairpin and inquire.
The results were not surprising.
Xie Zhiqing was flustered for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. "It doesn't matter if you have leverage over me. You can't leave today anyway. Master Jiang Wu will be here soon. He is planning to remarry. The Jiang family is not wronging you. It's a great match. Don't let it down, big sister."
As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing, "After the prince's wedding, he will select beauties to fill the East Palace. When I become a noble lady in the palace, I will definitely call you to the palace often to accompany me."
Xie Zhuoning listened quietly to everything she said, and finally realized that he might have been wrong from the beginning.
I thought it was a good marriage, with an excellent person and a bright future, without all the dirty troubles in the inner house.
What Xie Zhiqing wanted was to be high and mighty, to be surrounded by splendor and prosperity, to fly onto the tree branches and become a phoenix.
That's why when I introduced Murong Yan to her, she was extremely unhappy.
And He Jinyun just made a casual promise and made her and Liu go through with this drama.
He Jinyun’s target from the beginning to the end was not Xie Zhiqing, but himself!
Bai Yingxue is worried about her former Crown Princess, and He Jinyun wants to rescue her husband from prison.
That's why Bai Yingxue took the initiative to summon He Jinyun that day.
What a big show!
As Xie Zhuoning thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh.
Xie Zhiqing saw that she was actually laughing, and immediately frowned, "You are about to face a disaster, what is so funny?"
Xie Zhuoning raised his lips slightly, "I'm laughing, and you actually said I'm so kind. I'm afraid you don't know me very well."
Since she already knew before she came that Xie Zhiqing was trying to get Crazy Horse to kill her, how could she really fall for it without any precautions?
