It can't be because she begged her mother to take her out to burn incense today, right?
She has been grounded for so long that she is going crazy!
And even if any troublesome bitch told his father about this, how could his father, who should be busy with official business in the cabinet at this moment, wait for her to come back for such a trivial matter?
She thinks she still doesn't have such a big face.
Or is it related to her marriage?
Xia Xi came to the side hall with doubts. Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked into the hall and curtsied, a tea cup was thrown directly at her!
Caught off guard, there was no time to dodge.
The tea cup hit the girl's forehead heavily, making a "bang" sound, and accompanied by the girl's scream, broken blue and white porcelain flew to the ground.
Xia Xi's forehead suddenly turned red, and she looked up at her father sitting in the armchair in shock and anger.
But the anger caused by suddenly encountering such a thing suddenly turned into fear when it touched those cold eyes.
Why would her father suddenly attack her?!
"Are you crazy!"
Mrs. Xue, who walked in shortly after, saw this scene, handed the child in her arms to her mother-in-law, stared at her husband closely and asked.
She had been numb to the things around her for a long time, so she didn't really feel sorry for her daughter at this moment, but more because this scene reminded her of the most painful thing in her heart.
"Xi'er is going to get married soon. If you hurt her face, how can she leave the court? How can she help you win over the top scholar in a new subject!" Xue took a few steps forward, expressing excitement, anger and ridicule.
Xia Tingzhen raised her eyes coldly and looked at the face with a somewhat distorted expression.
Compared with the always calm wife in his memory, this crazy woman now seemed like a completely different person to him, and he believed her.
"Leave the court? Do you really think she can still get married?" Xia Tingzhen's eyes were like cold knives: "Or do you still know nothing about what you did to your good daughter?"
Mrs. Xue still had the same excited expression: "I would like to hear what she did to make you, a father, treat her so cruelly!"
Xia Tingzhen looked at Xia Xi, who was standing there with a confused expression.
"Does the incident involving Miss Xu from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion have anything to do with you?"
Xia Xi's figure trembled.
How could father know...
"My daughter has never done it!" She quickly shook her head and denied: "Even though my daughter has had a problem with Xu Mingyi... But my daughter has never been out recently, how can she be a daughter!"
A sneer appeared on Xia Tingzhen's face.
"My father never thought that you could do such restless things even though you were banned from home. From this point of view, I underestimated you - the Xia family raised you and gave you glory and wealth that no one else can match, but you
Can’t you even stay at home and wait to get married?”
At the end of the sentence, the voice was very calm, but the chill inside it became stronger and stronger, until Xia Xi felt that her whole body was stiff and unable to move.
She opened her mouth with difficulty and struggled to say: "Father, it really wasn't my daughter who did this..."
"Inside the government office? Are there witnesses and evidence? Are you still unwilling to admit it?"
Xia Xi's eyes widened slightly.
What Beijing Yamen?
What kind of personal and physical evidence...?
Where did the personal and physical evidence come from?
She was filled with surprise and surprise, but facing that gaze? She finally lost the courage to keep speaking harshly.
The girl gritted her teeth and knelt down.
"Father? The daughter has indeed made her own decisions..." She held on to her dress tightly, her tone cautious but unable to hide her panic: "But the daughter is also for her father and the Xia family...Then the Duke of Zhen is ignorant? He is always against his father.
, what was my daughter thinking? He looked at Xu Mingyi as if he were an eyeball? If something happened to Xu Mingyi, the Duke of Zhen Guo would definitely——"
"That's enough."
Xia Tingzhen closed her eyes and interrupted her foolish words that she thought were smart.
"My daughter knows she was wrong..." Xia Xi bit her trembling lower lip and said, "My daughter doesn't dare to do it anymore? I beg her father to punish her!"
She was vaguely aware of the unthinkable consequences of the impending storm? Perhaps, the best result would be for her father to punish her...
However, she did not wait for any response.
This silence seemed to be accompanied by huge fear, surrounding her body, getting tighter and tighter, and even gradually made her feel breathless.
Under this situation? Wanting to break this situation, she mustered up the courage to say: "Father...this matter is wrong. They can't have any evidence? Even if they do...it must be forged!"
There can't be evidence?
Xia Tingzhen sneered.
"Do you actually think that what you did is very smart? Even smarter than what your second brother did back then?"
If the second son is too smart and too confident? Then his daughter is really stupid and doesn’t realize it.
He couldn't even figure out why he gave birth to such a stupid thing!
"My daughter just feels that... someone must have done something behind her back!" Xia Xi looked at her father closely and said eagerly: "I'm afraid someone wants to harm my daughter! I want to target you, father!"
Xia Tingzhen said coldly: "You know now? It's too late."
It's too late...
What does it mean?!
Xia Xi was shocked and quickly looked at her mother Xue.
Looking at her husband sitting there, Mrs. Xue clenched her trembling teeth tightly, her eyes full of hatred.
"Xia Tingzhen, you have already killed your own son...are you going to kill your own daughter now? Don't even think about killing my child again! This time, I will never let you succeed!"
Xia Tingzhen tensed her face and said in a deep voice: "Here comes the madam. She is acting crazy. Send her back to her room and ask the doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment."
"You are the one who is crazy!"
Mrs. Xue's eyes were red, and she was about to pounce on him: "It's in vain that I only thought of you as someone who acted with the overall situation in mind! You are a person who can achieve great things! I try my best to be your good wife, and I am willing to help you have children...
But I have never seen through that you are a heartless evil ghost! Evil ghost!"
"Xia Tingzhen...you are going to the eighteenth level of hell!"
The two women stepped forward very quickly and forcibly took the person away from the place.
Listening to her mother's hoarse and crazy voice gradually disappearing behind her, Xia Xi knelt there without moving, her face pale and her expression dazed.
At this time, a servant walked in hurriedly.
He looked hesitantly and said: "Master, the official from the front is here to urge me again... He said that he wants the fourth girl to go to the Yamen as soon as possible to reply..."
Go to the Yamen...
The second brother went to the Yamen and never came back!
Xia Xi, who was already in a daze, shook her head and said in a high and low voice: "Father! I can't... go to the Yamen... I can't!"
"Of course I can't go."
Xia Tingzhen said slowly: "My Xia family cannot afford to lose such a person for the second time."
Hearing this, Xia Xi couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope again in her eyes.
She knew... no matter how much her father blamed her, he would eventually help her handle the matter!
