Xie Ruan sneered: "My sister is kind-hearted by nature. If it weren't for your aggressiveness, she would never have done anything outrageous."
"Today, I will let you know that my Xie family is not that easy to bully."
After saying that, he raised his sword and struck at Xiao Jing.
Xue Xuening was so frightened that Xiao Jing immediately ducked to the side.
"Clang!"
The long sword fell to the ground, splashing with dust.
Xie Ruan swung his sword again, and Xiao Jing had no choice but to respond.
The two started fighting and were evenly matched.
I don't know how much time passed, but Xie Ru'an's strength was exhausted and he gradually fell into defeat.
Xiao Jing took the opportunity to seize the sword and forced Xie Ru'an to stop.
"Brother, stop fighting, let's talk, okay?" Xiao Jing said patiently.
Xie Ruan was furious and could not agree.
Xiao Jing hurriedly stopped the furious Xie Ru'an and said in a good temper: "Brother, calm down the anger first. You calm down first, and we will discuss it slowly."
Xie Ruan stood panting in the middle of the yard, clenching his fists.
Xiao Yinshuang was still behind and said sarcastically, "That's all your Xie family has."
Xiao Jing felt a headache, "Sister, you have nothing to do here, go back to your yard."
He finally extinguished Xie Ruan's anger. What should he do if it was aroused by her again?
Xiao Yinshuang didn't know what he was thinking, and continued, "That sister of yours who poisoned her concubine is so cruel. Your Xie family has such a daughter, it really brings shame to the Xie family."
Upon hearing this, Xie Ruan turned around suddenly and stared at Xiao Yinshuang with scarlet eyes.
"What did you just say?" he asked sharply.
Xiao Yinshuang showed no fear, raised her chin and retorted: "Your sister has done something wrong, shouldn't others be allowed to tell her?"
"Shut up!" Xiao Jing felt for the first time that the eldest sister was annoyingly noisy.
Xiao Yinshuang was very aggrieved by the cruelty. Xiao Jing had always been obedient to her since she was a child. When had he ever spoken to her in this tone?
"You yelled at me for an outsider, Xiao Jing, do you still take me, the eldest sister, seriously?"
Before Xiao Jing could answer, Xie Ru'an looked gloomy and warned word by word: "My sister has done something wrong and will be judged by the government. If you dare to slander her, I will kill you."
Xiao Yinshuang said without fear of death, "There is no need for a government verdict. All the evidence and evidence are available..."
"enough!"
An angry scolding sound came, and Mrs. Xiao came over with the support of Granny Feng.
Xiao Yinshuang closed her mouth unwillingly, leaned over and said, "I have met my grandmother."
Xiao Jing walked down the steps and asked, "Grandma, why are you here?"
"Hmph, if I don't come again, I don't know what trouble will happen. You are really making people worry." Mrs. Xiao said angrily.
Xie Wanyu walked out weakly. Xiao Jing wanted to step forward to support her, but was secretly held back by Xue Xuening.
Xie Ruan quickly came to his sister's side and helped her sit on the stone bench.
"Brother, the Marquis really didn't do anything to me. You don't have to worry. Let's forget about today's matter."
When Xie Wanyu said this, she coughed twice.
"Why, you are the cause of everything, so you should bear all the faults. Besides, you have not dealt with the poisoning matter yet. You are already waiting for the crime. Now that the crime is added to the crime, you should be dealt with according to the family law."
Xie Ru'an was about to get angry when Xie Wanyu tugged on his sleeve with her hand and looked at the man with an arrogant face, "Then you should find more concrete evidence. Who will believe it if you just tell lies with one mouth?"
Xiao Yinshuang choked and gritted her teeth and said, "The witnesses and material evidence are all there, and you cannot deny it."
"I'm not the only one in this house who wants to murder Mrs. Li, are you right? Sister-in-law?" Xie Wanyu looked at the person hiding behind with a somewhat thoughtful look.
If you want to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, it’s a good idea!
Xue Xuening smiled awkwardly, and when she saw her gaze, she said nervously, "How would I know."
"Is it possible that you slandered your elder sister-in-law? I think you said that deliberately because you were jealous of your elder sister-in-law?" Xiao Yinshuang looked at her with a sneer.
Xie Wanyu said in a fierce tone, "Why am I jealous of her? In terms of status, I am the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, and I am the mistress of the Hou Mansion. In terms of property, Panyun Mountain and the dowry are enough to support me for a lifetime."
Perhaps these words stimulated Xiao Yinshuang, "So what, it's not like being unloved by your husband and staying alone in an empty room every night."
"Isn't this the case with my eldest sister-in-law?"
"Of course it's different, she has Jing..."
"Snapped!"
He slapped Xiao Yinshuang hard on the face. Half of her face suddenly swelled into a bun, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
Xiao Yinshuang looked at Mrs. Xiao in disbelief.
Growing up, her grandmother was reluctant to say harsh words to her, let alone slap her with her hands?
Xiao Jing was also shocked by Mrs. Xiao's sudden slap, "Grandma..."
"Nie Zhan, I think you are obsessed with something! Get back to the yard and stay there." Mrs. Xiao was so frightened that she trembled with fear.
It seems that Shuang'er must have discovered something. If this is the case, she cannot be kept in the house for any longer. This kind of scandal must not be spread.
Otherwise, it will not only be as simple as being embarrassed, but the Xiao family will not be able to hold their head high in Kyoto City in the future.
Xie Wanyu looked at Xiao Yinshuang who was going crazy, and felt even more certain that she must know something. It seemed that this fig leaf was almost unstoppable.
Xiao Yinshuang was finally dragged away. Xue Xuening lowered her eyes. This Xiao Yinshuang was really stupid. She wasted such a good opportunity to attack Xie Wanyu.
However, she also felt that Xiao Yinshuang should be aware of her relationship with Xiao Jing.
"I don't want to get involved in your housework. I just want to know why my sister poisoned my concubine?" Xie Ruan asked with a frown.
"Let's go in and talk. Wanyu just contracted the cold and can't stand the wind."
Xiao Jing pretended to be concerned and was about to reach out to help her, but was pushed away by Xie Ruan.
Mrs. Xiao gave a wink to Nanny Feng who was beside her, and Nanny Feng turned and left.
After entering the house, Xiao Jing began to say, "A few days ago, Mrs. Li was suddenly poisoned. After an investigation, I caught the poisoned maid. The maid testified that it was Wanyu who instigated it, and she also gave Wanyu the reward. Her gold hairpin.”
"At that time, the witnesses and physical evidence were conclusive, so I had no choice but to lock her in the woodshed. However, Wanyu misunderstood me and contracted the cold."
"When I heard the news, I immediately asked the doctor, and then my brother came here to cause trouble."
These words completely shied away all his responsibilities, and he also put on an affectionate posture. It would also make people think that it was the Xie family who was making trouble unreasonably.
"Oh, what a last resort! Is it a last resort to not let people bring me water or food? Is it a last resort to imprison Zhu Fang and Aunt He?" Xie Wanyu asked sarcastically.
Xie Ruan became even more annoyed when he heard that his sister hadn't eaten for two days.
No wonder she looked so weak, with no color at all on her face.
Just when he was about to get angry, Mrs. Xiao pretended to be angry and said, "Jing'er, you did something wrong in this matter. No matter what, you can't cut off Wanyu's food!"
"What? How is this possible? I have never given such an order!" Xiao Jing pretended not to know anything.
Xie Wanyu almost applauded them, each of the Xiao family members was really better at acting than the last one.
