As soon as He Wu and the others entered the Hou Mansion, Xiao Cheng came with his people behind. Xiao Cheng was not as reckless as Xiao Ming, but after the report, he waited for Butler He to come to the door of the mansion and invite him into the mansion.
"I did not teach my son well and bumped into my wife. I came here to apologize. Please don't be merciful. I must punish Quanzi severely and let him know that some mistakes are not allowed to be made." Seeing Xia Jingyao, Xiao He bowed immediately to apologize.
"Master Xiao, please sit down. This is all a misunderstanding. I heard from Madam that it was Mr. Xiao who saved Madam. When I arrived, Mr. Xiao's face had been swollen, and I felt very sorry. I didn't want to Let's treat Mr. Xiao first, and wait for the swelling to subside before sending Mr. Xiao back to the house, so as not to make Mr. Xiao feel distressed. Since Mr. Xiao is here, Mr. Xiao will take him back later. Tomorrow, I will Hou Hui and his wife came to the door in person to say thank you." Xia Jingyao said with a smile. Not only did he not blame Xiao Ming, he also described Xiao Ming as Liu Yunqing's savior.
"So it turns out that the gangsters are so rampant. I must give an explanation to the Marquis and his wife. It was getting late, so I left first. Tomorrow, I will hold a banquet in the mansion and apologize to the Marquis and his wife. "Listen. Xiao Cheng was shocked when he heard Xia Jingyao's words. He knew the ins and outs of the matter. He knew even better what kind of virtue Xiao Ming was. He was already prepared to bear Xia Jingyao's anger. He also prepared a gift list, intending to make the big event a small one. He didn't expect that Xia Jingyao would come out like this, catching him off guard. If it hadn't been for the fact that he had lost all emotion and anger over the years, he might have made a fool of himself.
"Then I won't keep Lord Xiao, don't delay Young Master Xiao's injury. He Wu, go and carry Young Master Xiao over." Xia Jingyao ordered He Wu who was beside him. He Wu agreed and went out. Soon, Xiao Ming was carried in.
When Xiao Cheng saw Xiao Ming's miserable state, a surge of anger rushed to his forehead. Xiao Cheng secretly took a few breaths before suppressing his anger. He loves Xiao Ming the most. From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Ming has never been wronged, let alone beaten. Especially when he was beaten so badly that he was unrecognizable. He knew clearly that it was Xia Jingyao who hit him, but he couldn't get angry even for a moment. Xiao Cheng felt that his lungs were about to explode. Not only was he angry, he was also extremely aggrieved.
"The official resigned." Xiao Cheng tried his best to smile, saluted Xia Jingyao, and ordered his servants to lift Xiao Ming and leave the Hou Mansion.
When Xiao Cheng returned to the governor's house, the doctor was already waiting. After handing Xiao Ming to the doctor, Xiao Cheng came to the study, and Butler Xiao also followed him into the study.
"This time, I made a mistake. I didn't expect that Xia Jingyao was hiding so much. I thought he was just a martial artist who had never seen the world, but I didn't expect that the city was quite deep. Use all your contacts to investigate and see where he came from. Changjun, do you have other purposes? In addition, mobilize experts to set up an ambush tomorrow to teach him a lesson, but no lives will be lost. Now that Ming'er has been beaten, I will never let him go because of his few words. Just let him go. Blood debts must be paid with blood, this is the truth that will never change." Xiao Cheng ordered the housekeeper.
"Yes, sir." Butler Xiao agreed, and then went out to make arrangements.
Xiao Cheng did not go to see Xiao Ming again. He really couldn't bear to see Xiao Ming's miserable appearance. After thinking about it again and again, Xiao Cheng came to the desk and sat down and started writing a letter. After writing the letter, he sent someone to deliver it overnight.
Early the next morning, He Wu came to the courtyard where Liu Yunqing lived and invited Liu Yunqing to have breakfast. When Liu Yunqing arrived, Xia Jingyao was already sitting at the table. Liu Yunqing chose a seat farthest away from Xia Jingyao and sat down. The servant came forward, filled porridge for the two of them, and placed it in front of them.
"In a moment, you accompany me to the county governor's mansion." Xia Jingyao said after taking a sip of porridge.
"Go to the Sheriff's Mansion, why? Yesterday, you already beat Xiao Ming into a pig's head. There is no need to raise an army to hold him accountable. You have to be spared and spared." After Liu Yunqing finished speaking, he put a small steamed bun into his mouth. inside.
"Go and say thank you." Xia Jingyao also put a small steamed bun into his mouth.
"Thank you? Why? I want you to go, but I won't go." Liu Yunqing refused without hesitation.
"It's okay if you don't go, but I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the Marquis Mansion in the future." Xia Jingyao did not force Liu Yunqing to go.
"Why? Even if we get married, we can't restrict our freedom. Besides, we won't get married." As soon as Liu Yunqing said he wouldn't let him out of the Marquis Mansion, he immediately refused.
"Xiao Ming originally had bad intentions for you, and now that he's been beaten like that, he will definitely be thinking about revenge on you. After a while, you go out and take a look. There must be several times more people watching outside the house. ." Xia Jingyao said casually.
"Then go and say thank you, and I can leave the Hou Mansion." Liu Yunqing now only wants to leave the Hou Mansion, go to the imperial capital, and start his own career.
"No." Xia Jingyao directly extinguished her fantasy.
"Hmph, I'm full." Liu Yunqing put down his chopsticks and left angrily.
Half an hour later, Liu Yunqing followed Xia Jingyao into the carriage and headed towards the county governor's mansion.
"When you get to the Sheriff's Mansion, you will treat me as a mute. I will never say thank you." On the carriage, Liu Yunqing expressed his determination.
"Isn't your sister married to Xiao Ming? You can go and chat with her. We will come back after Xiao Cheng and I have finished greetings." He said he was going to say thank you, but it was just a formality. Both parties knew what was going on. Something happened.
"Liu Yunfei, I have nothing to say to her. She was forced to marry Xiao Ming because I escaped from marriage. Maybe she already hates me, so she is still willing to chat with me." Liu Yunqing immediately objected.
"It's better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. We are all close relatives. There is no need to live forever without contact." Xia Jingyao advised.
"That's right. Although we haven't dealt with each other since we were young, we are still relatives. I did hurt her this time, and I really should apologize to her in person. When I go to the imperial capital, I will never come back. That's it. We’ll never see each other again. It’s good to have a break now, and it’s also a final farewell.” Liu Yunqing thought for a moment and said.
Xia Jingyao closed his eyes to rest and was too lazy to pay attention to her.
When they arrived outside the governor's mansion, Xiao Cheng was already waiting in front of the mansion. Knowing that Liu Yunqing wanted to see his sister, Xiao Cheng immediately asked his servants to take Liu Yunqing there. The servants took Liu Yunqing to the courtyard and left. The furnishings in the courtyard are very simple. Not to mention the Hou Mansion, even the Liu Mansion is better than here. There is no floral fragrance in the courtyard, but a strong medicinal smell. Liu Yunqing opened the door, and the smell of medicine inside was even stronger.
"Tui'er has met the eldest lady." Seeing Liu Yunqing come in, Cui'er stepped forward and saluted.
"Why is there such a strong smell of medicine? What's wrong with Fei'er?" Liu Yunqing asked with concern.
"The young lady is resting. Please come back, eldest lady." Cui'er naturally has no good impression of Liu Yunqing.
Liu Yunqing passed Cui'er directly and walked towards the inner room. When she saw Liu Yunfei lying on the bed with a pale face, Liu Yunqing felt a little distressed and a little guilty. In all the years in Liu Mansion, I have never seen Liu Yunfei so haggard. In just ten days, Liu Yunfei has already lost a lot of weight.
