The next day, as soon as Xie Wanyu had finished her breakfast, a nun hurried over and said, "Madam, Madam, the Marquis is back."
"Oh, he's finally back." Xie Wanyu raised the corner of her mouth with a sarcastic smile, and it disappeared in an instant.
The news of Xiao Jing's return soon spread throughout the Hou Mansion. Mrs. Xiao, Xue Xuening, Xiao Yinshuang and others rushed to the main hall after hearing the news.
Even Xiao Yinshuang, who was still injured, quickly dressed up and came to the main hall.
When Xie Wanyu went there, everyone was surrounding Xiao Jing. He was wearing a green shirt, his handsome and elegant face was covered with dust, and his body still exuded a foul odor.
"My grandson, you are not, are not... already dead, how could you come back to life?" Before Mrs. Xiao could finish her words, she began to choke.
Xiao Jing looked up at her and said indifferently: "Grandma, don't worry, it's just an accident!"
"But, but..." Mrs. Xiao hesitated, looking at him with tears streaming down her face. She wanted to reach out and touch him, but she was afraid of soiling her clothes.
Xiao Jing walked over to support her and comforted her in a soft voice: "Grandma, you have worked hard for Jing'er these years. Jing'er still remembers it. Jing'er is back now. From now on, you can rest in peace and recuperate."
"Really? My Jing'er, is Jing'er really okay?" Mrs. Xiao was so excited that she pulled his arm tightly and asked.
"Well! I'm not standing in front of you alive now." Xiao Jing nodded.
"Great, great!" Mrs. Xiao happily wiped away the tears from her eyes.
She was so excited mainly because the Xiao family could finally become famous again.
"It's good to come back. My sister almost cried to death when she heard about your death." Xiao Yinshuang stepped forward and called softly.
Regardless of his dirty look, Mrs. Li threw herself into his arms and cried.
"Master Marquis, it turns out that you are really not dead. I'm really scared to death. If it weren't for the purpose of raising the child, I would have gone with you long ago."
Xue Xuening's eyes fell on the two people embracing each other, with strong jealousy flashing in her eyes.
Why? Why can this little bitch do it, but she can only watch from a distance.
Xue Xuening hated Li even more.
The child is still so restless after his death. In this case, don’t blame yourself for being rude!
"Hurry and prepare hot water, clothes, and some food." Xie Wanyu ordered calmly.
Only then did Xiao Jing see Xie Wanyu, push away Mrs. Li and walk to her, "Madam, you have worked hard these days."
Holding back the disgust and disgust in his heart, he smiled and said, "Master Hou, you have had a hard journey, so hurry up and pack up and have something to eat."
Looking at him like this, he is worse than a refugee.
Xiao Yinshuang snorted coldly, "Don't you think you dislike Jing'er?"
"Oh? Since eldest sister doesn't mind it, I will order the maid to take off the clothes and send them to you later."
"What do I need that filthy thing for?"
When Xiao Yinshuang thought of the dirty clothes, she took two steps back.
The look of disgust was seen by everyone.
"Okay, let Jing'er go wash up first, and we'll talk about anything later."
When everyone heard Mrs. Xiao say this, they all reluctantly left.
Especially Xue Xuening, she looked back three times with one step.
Unfortunately, Xiao Jing never looked at her and followed Xie Wanyu out of the main hall.
Back in the west courtyard, Xue Xuening was so excited that she was walking back and forth in the house, talking incoherently.
"Great, the Marquis is still alive."
This way she still has a chance to renew her relationship with him.
Suddenly, she stopped and sneered sinisterly, "Since the Marquis is not dead, don't blame me for being cruel."
Other courtyard.
It took Xiao Jing half an hour to take a bath. He walked out of the tub and put on clean clothes.
"Master Marquis, the clothes and food have been prepared. Waiting in the side hall." The servant bowed respectfully and reported.
"I know, go down!"
Xiao Jing took a deep breath. It was not easy for him to come back alive. The emperor still needed an explanation.
After dinner, Xiao Jing came to Qiran Courtyard.
Xie Wanyu sat at the table and drank tea leisurely, with an attitude of not caring about the matter. She seemed not surprised or surprised by the news that Xiao Jing was still alive.
A moment later, Zhu Fang's voice came from outside the door, "Madam, the Marquis is here."
Xie Wanyu slowly put down the teacup, the door was opened, and Xiao Jing walked in.
The moment Xie Wanyu saw him, she immediately stood up and bowed slightly, "I'm here to see the Marquis."
Xiao Jing walked up to her and was about to put his arms around her slender waist, but Xie Wanyu dodged him.
He picked up the teapot on the table, poured him a cup of tea and handed it over.
"Master Hou has been away from home for so long. I'm afraid he still doesn't know that many important things have happened in the house."
"Oh? What happened?" Xiao Jing looked a little unhappy, but she could only listen to her patiently.
Xie Wanyu sat opposite him and said slowly, "A few days ago, the maid next to the eldest sister pushed Mrs. Li's son into the water and drowned."
"What?" Xiao Jing's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked a little tired, but she was so shocked by the news that she suddenly woke up.
"Ms. Li was extremely grieved, and the maid admitted everything, and finally hit the wall and died." Xie Wanyu said slowly.
Xiao Jing frowned when she heard this, "You mean this matter has something to do with the eldest sister?"
Xie Wanyu shook her head, "I don't dare to say nonsense."
"Is it possible that you also think that the eldest sister ordered the maid to push the child into the water?" Xiao Jing's tone was obviously unhappy.
The eldest sister has always loved him so much, how could she possibly kill his son? This is simply nonsense?
Xie Wanyu sneered in her heart, "How could it be possible? However, Mr. Li just lost his son, and the Marquis should go and comfort him."
Xiao Jing fell into silence upon hearing this, "Well, what Madam said makes sense."
"Why don't the Marquis rest at Li's place tonight, and I will arrange the rest." Xie Wanyu smiled lightly and said calmly.
"It's because you've thought it through, I'm wronged you." Xiao Jing held her hand and sighed.
Seeing that hypocritical face, Xie Wanyu felt her stomach churn, but she always had a smile on her face and took her hand out lightly.
"It's not hard. Now that the Marquis has returned home, I feel at peace."
Xie Wanyu lowered her head, hiding the contempt in her eyes.
Xiao Jing nodded, "Then I will go to Li's place first, you..."
"Your Majesty, please." Xie Wanyu nodded with a smile.
Xiao Jing turned and left, and Xie Wanyu showed a sneer on her lips.
Zhu Fang walked into the room and said, "Madam, I have told Mrs. Li according to your arrangement and asked her to make good use of this opportunity."
"Well, the rest is up to her."
Presumably Xue Xuening is still waiting, waiting for Xiao Jing to find her.
Xie Wanyu guessed this and deliberately mentioned Li's loss of her child, making Xiao Jing feel guilty and go to Li's place.
In Fanghua Courtyard, Mrs. Li was dressed in simple and elegant clothes, but she looked particularly pitiful.
There were no maids waiting outside, so when Xiao Jing entered, no one came to report.
He pushed the door open and Mrs. Li said sadly, "If the Marquis knew that I failed to protect our children, he would definitely blame me."
"It's all my fault. It's because I didn't take good care of Brother Yun that I let him..."
As Li spoke, crystal tears fell from her eyes. This pitiful scene made anyone feel distressed, let alone Xiao Jing.
