Chapter 221: Smart but Misled by Smartness

After hearing Xie Zhuoning's questioning, He Jinyun seemed to have just woken up from a dream and came back to his senses.

She only felt a darkness before her eyes, her body was shaking, and she could hardly stand!

What is going on?

Wasn't the old woman already insane? Why did she remember everything?

And what about Si Xi? Didn’t she get beaten to death with sticks?

Xie Zhuoning...it must be Xie Zhuoning!

Her resentful eyes were fixed on Xie Zhuoning's face. "It's you! It's you who's behind this!"

Xie Zhuoning glanced at her with his eyes downcast, raised one corner of his lip, and sneered softly: "I'm playing tricks? Did I poison grandma? Did I frame my third sister? Did I make a secret deal with Master Jiang Wu? Did I want to kill grandma?"

"Sister-in-law, God is watching what you do. If you do too many immoral things, you will be punished!"

He Jinyun was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and wished he could cut Xie Zhuoning into pieces.

But she also knew that now was not the time to settle accounts.

Her eyes turned red, and she said pitifully, "Father-in-law, Brother Yuan, I am innocent! You know I am always timid, how could I do such a heinous thing?"

"Besides, grandma has been unconscious for a while, how could she remember all this? Maybe someone deliberately misled grandma..."

She is indeed a person who can confuse right and wrong. From what she said, it seems that Madam Xie said those things because she was deceived.

At this moment, Xie Zhuoning was standing next to Old Madam Xie, so his direction should not be too obvious.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, a slap hit her face.

There was a crisp "pop" sound.

Xie Heng's eyes were deep, suppressing his anger, "At this point, you still don't know you're wrong?"

He was originally very satisfied with his daughter-in-law, Ho Kam Wan.

He knows when to advance and when to retreat, has a good understanding of the overall situation, and is much better than Liang in managing feedback.

She is simply the perfect daughter-in-law of a wealthy family!

But he didn't expect that she would dare to pretend to obey him but actually do so many things behind his back!

For the sake of saving face for the Xie family, he endured what Master Jiang Wu said.

But how dare she lay hands on the old lady?

He Jinyun covered his face and was stunned for a moment. Realizing that Xie Heng was really angry, he quickly knelt down and began to show weakness, "Father, calm down. Your daughter-in-law knows her mistakes. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time."

Xie Heng snorted coldly, "You should beg for mercy, but not from me, but from the old lady and the third girl!"

He Jinyun also came up to the bedside of Mrs. Xie on his knees, "Grandma, Grandma, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so obsessed. Please consider that I have served you for so long and give me a chance to redeem myself. I will do my best to serve you in the future!"

"Hmph!" Madam Xie snorted coldly and turned away. "I am only half dead now. If I continue to let you serve me, I'm afraid I will be buried in a coffin tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Xie Heng felt distressed again.

Mrs. Xie lost her husband at a young age and raised her two sons by herself.

He finally started to enjoy his life, but ended up being harmed to such an extent by his own granddaughter-in-law. Wasn't this his fault as a son?

With a cold look in his eyes, he said in a cold voice: "He poisoned my grandmother. This is an unforgivable crime. Send her to Jingxin Temple immediately to practice at the cost of her crime and wash away her sins!"

Jingxin Temple sounds like a temple, but in reality it is not a good place.

Women who committed crimes in the capital could not be handed over to the government for fear of losing face, so they were sent there, ostensibly to practice Buddhism but actually to serve their sentences.

Compared to the family temple that Liang went to, this Jingxin Temple is much more terrifying.

I heard that most of the women who were sent there had been driven crazy when they were picked up.

He Jinyun's face turned pale, and she quickly reached out to grab her husband's robe, "Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, save me, I'm still holding your flesh and blood! Don't you even want your child anymore?"

The bulging belly means the baby will be born in a few months.

This is the legitimate son and grandson of the Xie family!

How could Xie Mingyuan watch his wife and children being sent away? He immediately lifted his robe and knelt down, "Dad, Grandma, please spare Jinyun. She is pregnant, how can you send her to Jingxin Nunnery? Even if you don't consider her, you should at least consider the child in her belly!"

As expected, after these words were spoken, Xie Heng and Old Madam Xie both looked hesitant.

After all, no matter how many mistakes Ho Kam Wan made, what is the fault of the child?

Even Xie Zhuoning couldn't help but frown, feeling grateful for He Jinyun's good luck.

It's amazing that she was able to find a way out despite so many charges against her.

Just when Xie Heng was about to give in, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side, picked up the bloody dagger on the ground, and stabbed it towards He Jinyun's stomach.

"Die die die!"

Pull it out, push it in, pull it out again, push it in again...

By the time everyone reacted, the dagger had been going in and out, almost turning He Jinyun's belly into a hornet's nest!

“Ah…it hurts…it hurts so much!”

He Jinyun covered her stomach in pain, but it was impossible to plug so many holes.

Bright red blood flowed out, instantly dyeing the area red.

The woman holding the dagger with disheveled hair laughed happily and crazily, "My dear girl, I have avenged you, I have avenged you!"

After hearing the voice, everyone finally responded, "Aunt Liu?"

The veins on Xie Heng's forehead were throbbing. "Someone, take her away and lock her up!"

Xie Mingyuan also shouted, "Doctor, where is the doctor? Jinyun, don't be afraid, the doctor will be here soon..."

A wedding banquet was filled with such a foul smell.

Old Madam Xie held her forehead with her hand, stamped her feet and beat her chest, "It's all injustice, it's all injustice!"

What sin did the Xie family commit that they have been plagued by one misfortune after another over the past six months?

Xie Heng sent people to see all the guests off.

Xiao Bicheng did not stay for long, but said pointedly, "Master Xie should take care of his household affairs. After all, if you cannot clean up your own house, how can you clean up the whole world? If you have a bad reputation, you will be easily impeached by the officials."

He can suppress some, but not all.

The Yongwang faction finds his faults every day. If the Xie family's affairs affect the court, it will not be good.

Hearing the warning in the prince's words, Xie Heng humbled himself and agreed, then respectfully sent the man away.

When he came back, the doctor had already examined He Jinyun.

He stood up and shook his head regretfully, "I'm afraid the child can't be saved."

When she heard that the child was gone, He Jinyun's heart sank to the bottom and she was hysterical, "Impossible... Impossible!"

How is that possible?

How could her child be gone?

Xie Zhuoning lowered his eyes and glanced at her, sighing, "Sister-in-law, look, retribution has come."

Liu was submissive and obeyed her in everything, but at the last moment, she stabbed her with a knife.

She thinks she is smart, and plays people like fools.

In the end, the cleverness backfired.

Without the child to act as a shield and with the pressure from the prince, Xie Heng immediately ordered someone to tie up He Jinyun and send her to Jingxin Nunnery.

Xie Mingyuan knelt down and begged for mercy, "Dad, Jinyun was injured so badly, if she is not treated, she will die!"

Xie Heng's expression was cold, "Even if she dies, it's her fate!"
