Chapter 178: Every evildoer will receive his own punishment

After leaving the Jiang Mansion, Xie Zhuoning went to the bakery where He Jinyun had taken everyone and bought some cakes.

After taking a sip, she nodded and said, "Well, it's really good."

As he said that, he picked up a piece, turned around and fed it to Xia Ju.

But the one who opened his mouth and held the pastry was not Xia Ju, but Xiao Jinxuan.

He ran his tongue across her tender fingertips, and her cold and reserved face immediately became seductive because of this small action.

Xie Zhuoning was stunned for a moment, his breathing became a little disordered, "Why...why is it you?"

It was rare to see her being silly, Xiao Jinxuan curled up the corners of his lips slightly, "Why can't it be me?"

Xie Zhuoning took a deep breath and calmed down a little. "I'm asking, why are you here?"

Xiao Jinxuan said casually, "I was just passing by."

Passing by?

Xie Zhuoning didn't believe it would be so coincidental.

She shook her head, a smile on her lips, "Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan was worried about me risking my life and came here on purpose?"

Xiao Jinxuan narrowed his eyes and looked at her steadily, "Since you know you are taking risks, why do you still dare to do this?"

He had never seen a woman like her, who always put herself in the game just to grab a glimmer of hope.

But has she ever thought about what if the sachet she was holding didn't work and she was poisoned by smoke?

What if even the smartest guy fails to catch the guy named Jiang?

What if they have other plans?

If there is even the slightest mistake, she might be trapped in the trap and unable to get out!

Vaguely sensing his anger, Xie Zhuoning raised his head and grinned at him, "Then there's still you, right?"

"Me?" Xiao Jinxuan was stunned.

Xie Zhuoning nodded heavily, "Yes! Have you ever thought about why I didn't ask Mr. Murong to send people to arrest Master Jiang Wu, but asked Congming Jueding and his four brothers to go?"

"Because I know that once they receive the mission, they will definitely pass the message to you first! And once you receive the message, you will definitely rush over!"

"So, with our wise, brave and extraordinary Prince Xuan supporting me from behind, how could such a thing happen?"

Ling Xiao on the side shook his head and said: Their master hates this kind of fancy nonsense the most, he will definitely not believe it.

But the next moment, their grandfather's expression visibly softened, and the corners of his mouth even curled up slightly, "You are used to coaxing people."

Xie Zhuoning said sincerely, "How did I try to fool you? I'm just telling the truth, okay?"

Seeing that she was getting more and more excited, Xiao Jinxuan raised his hand and rubbed her head.

"I really hope you think so."

When you encounter danger, you know he is behind you.

Instead of secretly doing the job by yourself and then finding a reason to coax him.

Feeling the warmth coming from above his head and listening to his words that were clearly beyond the line, Xie Zhuoning just felt that the ambiguous atmosphere at the moment was a little intoxicating.

Xiao Jinxuan has never been a person who is good at sweet talk. What's the difference between him saying such words and him showing her his passionate heart?

The temperature was so scorching that it made my heart beat fast.

But she deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, smiled and said, "Isn't it a waste of your talent to let you deal with He Jinyun and the others?"

No one like Jinyun is worthy of dirtying their hands.

After all, evildoers will receive their due.

Everyone knows that although Master Jiang Wu is a member of the Jiang family, he does not hold an official position and is not in charge of household affairs. He spends money lavishly and often squanders money like water. Even if the Jiang family gives him a lot of money in a month, he often spends more than he earns, so he often comes up with some crooked ideas to make money.

So what will such a person do now that he has the leverage over He Jinyun?

When Mr. Jiang Wu comes to propose marriage, if He Jinyun refuses to add a large dowry, what if he goes all out and exposes her as the mastermind behind the incident?

My grandmother and uncle are very concerned about their reputation. If they knew that He Jinyun had framed Xie Zhiqing and made the Xie family lose face, I am afraid that she would never be able to gain a foothold in the Xie family in the future.

He Jinyun knows the pros and cons, so he will definitely grit his teeth and meet his request.

But the appetite of a man like Mr. Jiang Wuye is something that can never be satisfied.

Once it happens, there will be a second time, a third time, and countless times...

The little bit of property that Ho Kam-wan spent so much time and effort to embezzle may not even be enough to fill the gaps between Mr. Jiang's teeth.

That Jiang guy is like a maggot attached to Ho Kam Wan's bones. He will not stop until he has eaten all of Ho Kam Wan's flesh and blood and sucked all of her marrow dry!

That's why she said that He Jinyun's retribution is still to come.

As he was talking, Ling Xiao stepped forward to remind him, "Master, it's almost time. If you don't leave now, you will miss the team."

Xie Zhuoning raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this. "Where are you going?"

Xiao Jinxuan did not hide it from her, "The Crown Prince is getting married, and His Majesty sent me to the outskirts of Wu City to welcome the Empress Dowager back to the capital."

Hearing this, Xie Zhuoning was distracted unconsciously.

It takes three days to go to Wucheng and back.

Now, there is only a day and a half left until the prince's wedding.

In other words, he should have left the city long ago, but because he was afraid that something might happen to himself, he stayed here to protect her and complete the entire plan?

Before she could ask, she saw Xiao Jinxuan put two fingers in his mouth and whistled.

With a sound of "whoosh", a horse immediately galloped in front of him.

The bright white lion horse shook its mane, looking as beautiful as a Pegasus.

He climbed onto his horse and turned to look at her, "I won't see you off. Be careful."

Xie Zhuoning looked at himself, who was surrounded by extremely smart people from all sides, and didn't know how to be careful.

Could it be that in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, I am a child who cannot take care of himself?

She waved her hands and said, "I know, Your Highness Prince Xuan, why are you talking like an old man? You're so long-winded."

Ling Xiao: “…”

His grandfather is usually very silent and it's hard to hear him say a word.

I never thought that one day I would be criticized for being nagging.

Xiao Jinxuan was not annoyed when he heard this, but laughed instead. He grabbed the horse's belly and left quickly.

Ling Xiao secretly wondered if his grandfather had any special hobbies. Why was he so happy even when being scolded?

…

Xie Mansion, Chunyu Hall.

Liu sang a gentle tune in a humming voice, with a lithe figure and a few twists and turns, and her former elegance and grace could be vaguely seen.

Qiao'er covered her mouth and smiled, "Auntie is really happy today."

Liu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "My Qing'er will soon be able to enjoy happiness after suffering so much. How can I not be happy?"

Although I feel a little sorry for the young lady, there is nothing I can do.

Who told her to promise to find a good marriage for Qing'er, but ended up finding a poor scholar to appease them?

Now that she can help Qing'er enter the palace and become a concubine, it can be regarded as her fulfilling her original promise.

I wanted to sing one more song, but I saw He Jinyun asking the servant to carry someone into the house in a hurry.

Liu hurried over and said, "Madam, where is my Qing'er?"

As she finished speaking, her eyes fell on the face of the man she was holding up. All the blood drained away from her face in an instant, and she was almost going crazy.

"Qing'er! Qing'er, what's wrong with you? Who made you like this?"

Liu rushed over and began to cry hysterically.

He Jinyun waved his hand and told the servants to leave. He turned around and fiercely scolded, "Shut up! Do you want everyone to know that your daughter has become like this?"

Liu's voice weakened after being yelled at, but her expression was still anxious. "Madam, my Qing'er went out with you just fine, how come she is like this when she comes back?"
