Chapter 222: No descendants, no peace forever!

Xie Zhuoning was not surprised to hear this.

During this period of time, she had already realized that her uncle was a very cold-hearted person.

He was merciless even to his own daughter, let alone a daughter-in-law.

"What a sin!" The doctor shook his head, briefly treated the dead fetus for He Jinyun, bandaged her wound, and sent her on her way.

He Jinyun's lips turned pale, and she weakly reached out her hand to her husband, "Brother Yuan...Brother Yuan, save me..."

Just as Xie Mingyuan was about to plead for mercy, Xie Heng stopped him with the words "You don't want a career in politics anymore."

He made up his mind to turn his head away and not look at He Jinyun.

The last glimmer of hope in He Jinyun's eyes gradually faded away.

Reluctance, anger, sadness, resentment...all kinds of emotions are intertwined in my heart.

Who is she doing all this for?

If it wasn't for saving Xie Mingyuan, why would she make a deal with Bai Yingxue to plot against Xie Zhuoning?

If he hadn't plotted against Xie Zhuoning, how could he have provoked Master Shangjiang Wu?

If he hadn't offended Master Jiang Wu, why would he need to steal the old lady's savings to fill the hole?

She did it all for him...

How could he, how could he, give up himself without hesitation for the sake of his own career and reputation?

The child is gone, everything is gone...

A huge resentment welled up in her heart, and she said word by word, "I will curse the Xie family, and make them extinct, and never let them rest in peace!"

Xie Heng was furious when he heard this, and his voice was murderous, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you drag her out quickly?"

After dealing with He Jinyun, it’s time to deal with Aunt Liu.

Unexpectedly, before he could even open his mouth, a servant came running over, "Master, Madam, it's bad, Madam Liu... hanged herself!"

Everyone rushed over, and when they asked someone to take Liu down from the beam, she was already dead.

He left a suicide note beside her, saying that he had done many wrong things and that the result was all his own fault. He only asked the old man to give her a place to stay because Zhiqing was his biological daughter.

After all, so many guests came today, and they all heard the news that Xie Zhiqing was abused by Mr. Jiang Wu.

Master Jiang Wu is suffering from syphilis. Who would be willing to marry a woman he has touched?

Being able to have a corner in the Xie Mansion where Xie Zhiqing can prolong her remaining life and live out her life would be the best way for her to live.

When Xie Zhiqing heard the news and rushed over, she was still wearing her red wedding dress.

Throwing herself on her aunt, she cried at the top of her lungs, "Aunt...Aunt...Please, don't leave me!"

Her aunt just wants to find a good family for her. Is that wrong?

Why did it turn out like this? Why?

After she had cried enough, she realized that everyone had left.

But Xie Zhuoning remained where he was, looking at her indifferently with his eyes lowered.

She laughed bitterly, "Big sister, do you know? My aunt told me that my mother and I were born lowly. In front of the master and mistress, we are just servants who are ordered around."

"My aunt said that she must find a good marriage for me and let me become the wife of a wealthy family, no matter what the cost."

But this is the result we got after all the hard work!

"Big sister, tell me, if I had not set my sights too high at the beginning and married the poor scholar you chose for me, wouldn't so many things have happened?"

After all, she is a concubine's daughter and should be married to such a poor man.

Xie Zhuoning could not feel the slightest sympathy for her fate.

The corner of her mouth twitched, and her tone was cold, "Marry Mr. Murong? Are you worthy of him?"

"Mr. Murong is a famous talent in Binzhou. He won first place in the provincial examination, first place in the metropolitan examination, and is a hot candidate for the first place in the next spring examination. With his talent, it is a sure thing for him to be included in the imperial list."

If his mother had not been seriously ill and needed a large sum of money for medicine, he would not have fallen to the point of selling paintings on the street.

"Once he enters the government, the emperor will use him because of his talent. My uncle will also do his best to promote him because he sees that he is a promising talent."

"It only takes three to five years to rise to the top."

By then, how much worse will they be than those wealthy and powerful families?

"Impossible! How could you be so kind as to give me such a good marriage?"

Xie Zhiqing simply didn't believe it, nor was she willing to believe that she had been so close to her goal, almost within her grasp.

So she would rather believe that Xie Zhuoning made up the story to deceive her.

The halo outside reflected Xie Zhuoning's features, which were clear and ethereal. "Whether you believe it or not, I once truly treated you as my own sister."

"As for Mr. Murong, just think that I am lying to you. After the New Year is over and the Spring Examination begins, you will know whether what I said is true or false."

Having said that, Xie Zhuoning turned and left.

Xie Zhiqing was left alone, sitting on the ground helplessly, as if she had been devastated.

There is nothing more heartbreaking than missing an opportunity.

From then on, she would think about the opportunity to become the legitimate mother of a wealthy family, which she had pushed away with her own hands!

As soon as Xie Zhuoning left the yard, he was called over by Old Madam Xie.

In front of Xie Heng and Xie Mingyuan, she held Xie Zhuoning's hand, and said affectionately, "Thanks to Zhuoning this time, otherwise the whole family would have been deceived by He Jinyun!"

Xie Heng narrowed his eyes and stared at Xie Zhuoning with a cold expression, "Ning girl is very discerning. Living in the Zhenyang Marquis's Mansion, she knows what happened in the Xie Mansion."

Xie Mingyuan, who was standing by, had an even more hostile look in his eyes, as if he wanted to skin her alive.

If it weren't for her, how could he have lost his wife and children overnight?

Xie Zhuoning said bluntly, "My uncle's attention is focused on the court, how could he care about such a small matter in the harem? It would be better for me to be a bystander and see things more clearly."

To put it more clearly, he is blind and cannot see what is happening right under his nose.

"You!" Xie Heng narrowed his eyes, anger surging in his eyes.

Xie Zhuoning knelt down and saluted, "Grandma, uncle, I am not feeling well, please allow me to leave first."

Having said that, without caring about their expressions, he turned around and left Xie's house.

When she returned to the Zhenyang Marquis Mansion, Song Yuqiu had already been sent back by Xia Ju. At this moment, he was eating a dessert made of perilla, squinting his eyes, with a very satisfied look on his face.

"It's still more comfortable to stay in the capital. I don't even want to go back to Nanyang."

Xie Zhuoning smiled, "If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. The Song family is going to hold a wedding in two days."

On the seventh day of August, the Duke of Zheng married Song Yuyao, the daughter of Song Jian, the Vice Minister of Works.

After Song Yuqiu married Yang Lie, Song Jian had no choice but to marry Song Yuyao to Yin Lei, the big fool, as he did not want to give up the marriage alliance with the Duke Zheng's Mansion.

Song Yuqiu narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Then I must stay. How can I not be there in such a lively place?"
