Chapter 463 The reason for being beaten was to marry her

"Prime Minister Shen, you are an old man, why are you so stubborn? Confess your guilt sooner, maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will give you a whole body for your contributions to Daye over the years."

Xie Heng walked up to Shen Lian, whose hands and feet were chained, and slowly advised him.

"Bah!" Shen Lian spat a mouthful of phlegm on his face.

Xie Heng's face was terribly gloomy. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his face. He said in a sinister voice, "You all have seen that he is very stubborn. I'm afraid we have to torture him."

Several prison guards walked in with torture instruments, and soon screams were heard.

After Xie Heng wiped his face, he still felt disgusted, so he walked out of the prison and washed his face.

At this time, a soldier came over and handed him a large envelope. "Thank you, sir. Someone outside the door asked me to give you this letter."

I wonder if someone wrote this to beg for mercy?

He threw it aside without even looking at it, and said, "Don't bring things like this in from now on."

"But they said that the envelope contained evidence of the left prime minister's cheating in the imperial examination."

"Really?" Xie Heng asked him to pick it up, opened it and looked at it. His face turned extremely pale in an instant.

Inside the envelope was He Mingyang's student file.

There was also a piece of paper attached to the back, with eight big characters written on it:

Congratulations to your son for being the top three in high school!

He has been very cautious these years, not daring to reveal the slightest flaw, but he never thought that this matter would be known to others!

What did that person want to do by sending this letter? Was he trying to threaten him?

If so, aren't Xuanniang, Baoger and the others in danger right now?

Xie Heng could no longer remain calm, so he gathered a group of his trusted men and headed to Shanyu Village immediately.

In order to go faster, even faster, he, a civil servant, did not even take a carriage, but rode a horse all the way.

As a result, halfway through the journey, he ran into Lao Jin who was preparing to enter the city to report the news.

"Master, please go back and take a look! A group of people suddenly rushed into the house, not only drove the wife out, but also imprisoned the son!"

He Xuanniang said this. From the moment she heard her name, she guessed that the woman's identity might not be simple. This matter was no longer something she could handle, so she immediately sent an old servant to report the news.

In order to win Xie Henglin's favor, she naturally asked Lao Jin to describe her in a more miserable way when he reported the news.

When Xie Heng heard this, he reconciled it to his own guess and became even more anxious. He rode as fast as he could and soon arrived.

"Henglang, you're here at last!" As soon as He Xuanniang saw Xie Henglai, she immediately ran over with tears in her eyes.

Xie Heng hugged her, coaxed her for a while, and asked, "Where's Bao Ge'er? How is he?"

He Xuanniang took him over and said, "He's in the house. I called a few people to rush in and rescue Bao Ge'er, but they were all beaten out by the female evil spirit at the door."

Originally, she didn't take Xia Ju seriously, but unexpectedly she suffered a great loss and almost got beaten.

Xie Heng looked up at the door and was immediately startled: "Xia Ju?!"

He remembered that since Xie Zhuoning died, Xia Ju stayed in Prince Xuan's Mansion and did not return to Marquis Zhenyang's Mansion.

But His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is not in the capital now, so who is the person in that room?

“Squeak—”

The door was opened from the inside, and Xie Zhuoning walked out, "Master Xie, please move aside for a moment."

Xie Heng's eyes widened in shock, and then he seemed to understand something, his face suddenly dark as iron.

He asked his men to take He Xuanniang out, but He Xuanniang refused, "Henglang, this woman is cruel and cunning. She tried every possible means to marry our son. You must not be deceived by her!"

Marrying her own son? What the hell is going on?

Xie Heng comforted her, "Don't worry, she won't marry Bao Ge'er. Can you get out first?"

He Xuanniang was anxious, afraid that he didn't know how serious the matter was, so she hurriedly said, "But in order to marry her, Bao Ge'er rejected all the girls you found for him, and even confronted me. I have never seen him like that, it's as if he was fed a love potion!"

"What?" Xie Heng's face turned green in an instant, "You said, Bao Ge'er wants to marry her?! Are you telling the truth?"

He Xuanniang nodded quickly, "It's absolutely true! Even if I use family rules, he will never change his words. It shows that he is sincere."

Xie Zhuoning: "..."

No, the reason why He Mingyang was beaten to pieces was because he wanted to marry her? !

Oh my God, what is this?

There was a layer of misty haze between Xie Heng's eyebrows, and he coaxed He Xuanniang away with all kinds of persuasion.

Then he turned around and looked at Xie Zhuoning, "What should I call you? My good niece? Or Princess Xuan? Or Madam Yu, the favorite concubine of Prince Xuan?"

Xie Zhuoning was slightly surprised, "Oh, my second uncle recognized me?"

Xie Heng gritted his teeth: "..."

She behaves in a way that makes her recognizable!

Besides, if she was really a concubine, what kind of trouble could she cause?

Who else could it be except his niece who is so eager to expose the truth!

Holding back his anger, he asked, "What's going on between you and Ming Yang?"

Xie Zhuoning raised a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his lips, "Second Uncle, don't you care about your precious son? How is he doing now?"

"What did you do to him?! I warn you, if you dare to touch a hair on his head, I will never let you go!" Xie Heng clenched his fists and his tone suddenly became louder.

It was the first time that Xie Zhuoning saw his second uncle caring so much about the appearance of his own children.

As expected, Liang and her children were nothing more than sacrificial animals.

"Uncle shouldn't have said this to me. You should have said it to He Xuanniang. If we hadn't come today, your son would have been dead."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Xuanniang is a little strict with Bao Ge'er, but it's also for his own good. She doesn't want him to go astray..."

Hearing Xie Heng still defending He Xuanniang, Xie Zhuoning turned around impatiently and said, "If you don't believe me, you can come in and see for yourself."

Xie Heng stepped into the room, but the people he brought with him were stopped outside the door.

He looked at Xie Zhuoning warily, and Xie Zhuoning waved his hands nonchalantly, "If you're afraid, you don't have to come in."

Xie Heng weighed the strength of both parties. She only brought a maid who knew martial arts, while he brought so many people with him, so he might not be at a disadvantage.

He signaled to his men to take action immediately if there was any fraud!

After giving the instructions, he stepped into the room.

"How could it be..." Looking at his son's pale face and tightly bandaged body, Xie Heng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Xie Zhuoning said quietly, "Second uncle came a little late, and didn't see the crisscrossing scars on his body. They were so dense and overlapping. I don't know how many beatings he took, but there is not a single piece of healthy skin on his entire back. Oh, by the way, when Ah Yu was bandaging him, He Xuanniang came to make trouble and tore off a large piece of skin from your son's back."

It would be more appropriate to say that he was an enemy rather than a son.

"No, I don't believe Xuan Niang would do this to our child. It must be you. You must have secretly done something to harm Bao Ge'er so badly!"

Xie Heng couldn't believe that all this was done by He Xuanniang, and immediately picked up a cup in the house and smashed it.

All the people he brought with him rushed in.

"Xie Zhuoning, you brought this upon yourself. If I tie you up, are you still afraid that King Xuan won't obey?"
