Mrs. Xie seemed to have forgotten the pain in her legs, shook off Mother Cui's support, and walked forward quickly.
"Hurry up." Mrs. Xie urged Mother Cui.
The two people hurried to the carriage, and three people immediately surrounded them.
One of them came forward and said, "Old lady, we are here to pick you up."
The old lady Xie nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay... thank you for your hard work. When I see your master... I will definitely praise you."
The three people said respectfully, "You can get in the car."
The curtain was opened, and old lady Xie immediately picked up her skirt and walked up without saying a word.
The carriage moved forward slowly. Mrs. Xie was breathing heavily. She opened the curtain and took a deep look at the Xie family's ancestral home. She finally left and left this bastard place. As long as she thought of this, even her breathing felt much easier.
Mother Cui seemed to finally feel at ease and sat in the corner without saying a word.
Old lady Xie was a little unhappy and ordered, "Come here quickly and pour me a cup of tea."
Cui's mother didn't move. After a while, she said, "There is no teapot here. The old lady should live in peace. It will be fine when we get to the boundary."
Mrs. Xie frowned and said, "I'm afraid you're scared. Now that we're in the car, everything will be fine. I just don't know whether it's a big boat or a small boat that will pick us up. The big boat will have to endure the wind and waves, and the small boat will inevitably have more trouble."
Cui's mother still didn't speak.
Old lady Xie spat, "Useless things will be of no use at the critical moment."
The carriage is going to the river to take a boat. The road is not far or close. According to the planned time, when the Xie family finds something strange and comes to find them, they have successfully boarded the boat. Besides, who would have thought that she would
After being picked up and brought to a place like this, they will definitely be shocked when they realize it.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped slowly, and then someone came and said, "It's time for us to change boats."
Old lady Xie opened the curtain of the carriage and saw the boat on the river.
"Get the things." Mrs. Xie told Mother Cui. Those were all the soft things she got at Xie's house, and she would be able to use them when she goes there in the future.
Mother Cui responded, and the master and servant boarded the ship surrounded by several people.
The boat parked there quietly, and someone got off the boat to help.
Old Mrs. Xie walked up first, followed closely by Mother Cui. After everyone got on the boat, the boat was pushed away from the shore. Old Mrs. Xie sat in the cabin and began to close her eyes and meditate. Now she should be able to
Completely relieved.
When the boat arrived in the middle of the river, there was silence in the cabin for a while. Old Mrs. Xie was about to tell Mother Cui to pour tea. Her mouth was dry and she couldn't bear it anymore. Unexpectedly, just as she was about to speak, the boat suddenly swayed, as if someone jumped.
Come up.
Before Mrs. Xie realized what had happened, the people in the cabin had already gone out to check.
There was a faint sound of gold and stone clashing, and then "plop" and "plop" someone fell into the water. Mrs. Xie panicked and wanted to grab Mother Cui beside her, but Mother Cui had already gotten up to check.
Before Mother Cui left the cabin, someone outside opened the curtain first. It was not the few people who came to escort Old Mrs. Xie away, but a strange face.
Cui's mother subconsciously stepped back, but two people walked in from the outside. Cui's mother felt a weight on her shoulders, and then her arms were tied up with ropes.
When Mrs. Xie saw this, her face turned pale with fright and she was about to scream.
"This is Jiangshang. No one will hear you if you shout. Even if you attract people, having an affair with the White Dragon King is a capital crime. Why don't you save your energy and let's talk."
A crisp voice came, and Mrs. Xie looked up, only to see a strange yet familiar face come into view.
"You, you... you are..." Mrs. Xie pointed at the girl who walked in and was speechless for a moment.
The girl sat down with a smile on her face, as if she was entertaining guests at home. "You have met me once, you can call me Miss Jiang, you can call me Miss Xu, and you can also call me Xu Qinghuan."
Old lady Xie was completely stunned.
Xu Qinghuan turned to look at Feng Chu, "The old lady must be thirsty. Pour her a cup of tea so that she can moisten her throat so that we can talk. After all, there is still some distance from here to the sea."
The girl's attitude was gentle and her manners were thoughtful, but in such a strange situation, Mrs. Xie became even more flustered. She hurriedly waved her hand to the giant creature approaching, "No... no need... don't come here..."
She should have realized long ago that the so-called Miss Jiang family was not a good person, especially the vicious maid next to her, with a wide forehead and a big mouth, as if she could bite off a piece of flesh from someone at any time.
"Mrs. Xie must think we are not good people, right?" Xu Qinghuan said with a smile.
Old lady Xie trembled, feeling even more frightened.
"I kidnapped you and killed people outside, but I think I'm a good person," Xu Qinghuan said slowly, "You betrayed the Zhou Dynasty and had dealings with the White Dragon King, and I cut you into pieces, so you deserve to be handed over.
To praise him is to eliminate a great disaster for the people."
"Beast," Old Mrs. Xie shouted, "You... you don't even let an old woman go..." At this point, she was afraid of angering the girl, so her tone changed, "I don't know what you are talking about.
, what White Dragon King... I don't understand... I just want to leave Changzhou and go... to avoid trouble. Please let me go. If you let me go, we will pretend that nothing happened."
"No," Xu Qinghuan said, "Old lady, you are a big shot. The White Dragon King went to great lengths to threaten the lives of so many people just because he wanted to wait for the navy to cause chaos and then pick you up, right? The person who came to pick you up,
I have all the skills on my hands, and as long as I send him to the Yamen for interrogation, I will know the truth."
Old lady Xie's legs and feet were weak, and she sat there, her clothes soaked with cold sweat. "If you...you...let me go, there will be huge benefits. What do you want? I'll give it to you."
Xu Qinghuan sighed, "You can't give me what I want."
Feng Chu listened to the eldest lady's words and looked at the eldest lady's imposing appearance. She suddenly felt that the troubles the prince caused in ordinary times were not as good as what the eldest lady did today.
"Otherwise," Xu Qinghuan looked at Mrs. Xie, "If I ask you a question and you answer it, if what you tell is the truth, I will be satisfied, and I will let you go."
Mrs. Xie immediately said, "You are lying to me."
"But you have no choice," Xu Qinghuan's eyes darkened, "As long as you don't answer, I will kill you at any time."
Old lady Xie closed her mouth in fear.
Xu Qinghuan nodded, "That's good. Let me ask the first question," her eyes fell on Old Mrs. Xie's leg, "Where did the injury on the old lady's leg come from?"
"No... I accidentally dropped it."
As soon as Mrs. Xie finished speaking, she saw a man walking towards her. The man seemed to have a weapon in his hand. Sure enough, the man pulled out a dagger and stabbed her.
"I was kicked, kicked..." Mrs. Xie immediately changed her story, "The day Yan Niang died, I... I was also kicked in the leg."
Xu Qinghuan said, "In other words, when Grandma Xie died, you were with her."
Old lady Xie nodded, but immediately she shook her head desperately.
Xu Qinghuan said, "Grandma Xie found out that the Xie family's belongings had been sold off. She thought it was Xie Yun who did it, so she came to you to discuss countermeasures. But she didn't expect that you knew about it earlier. You were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so you deceived Grandma Xie and killed her outside the city.
, killing is enough, why should we torture her? It was you or Xie Yun who did it."
"No, none," Mrs. Xie waved her hand, "None of us have, and I didn't know it would be like this. I thought... I thought..."
"You thought that killing Yanniang would be the end of the matter, but you didn't expect that those people tortured Yanniang. You heard the sound and were curious, so you wanted to go see it, but unexpectedly you alerted the people inside, and the person kicked you.
"On the body," Xu Qinghuan shook his head as he said this, "No, if you were kicked and your body fell backwards, there should be wounds on more than just your legs. Furthermore, you said that you were recuperating at Xie's house and covered it up in every possible way. You might be discovered by others. It shows that
The wound is extraordinary, unlike a fall or fall."
Xu Qinghuan said and looked at the people around him, "Expose Mrs. Xie's wound and let me have a look."
