Ever since the Xi'er incident, he saw that Xue's words and deeds were becoming more and more abnormal, so he banned Xue's feet and never allowed her to appear in front of others, in order to prevent this crazy woman from causing trouble by speaking out.
But even so, trouble still came to our door today.
"Is father in the study?"
Faintly hearing the eldest son's voice, Xia Tingzhen stood up from her desk and walked out of the study.
There are lanterns hanging on the corridor in the courtyard, and we can see that a group of people are approaching. The one at the front is Ms.
His face showed excitement, his feet were fast and he was stumbling a little, and he walked forward with the help of a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was Xia Xuan, Xia Tingzhen's eldest son.
"Father……"
Seeing Xia Tingzhen standing at the foot of the stone steps, Xia Xuan let go of Xue's hand and saluted somewhat uneasily.
"Who allowed you to bring her here?" Xia Tingzhen looked at her eldest son coldly.
Xia Xuan hurriedly said: "Yes... it was the mother who broke out of the courtyard after hearing about the Lu family. She said she had something important to say to the father... The son was worried, so he followed her."
"I'm here to ask you what you plan to do with me!" Mr. Xue looked angrily, but his tone was full of ridicule: "...are you going to treat me like Han'er, or like Xi'er!"
"Mother..." Xia Xuan's face turned pale after hearing this. He reached out to pull Xue's arm, but she shook it off hard.
Her red eyes only stared at Xia Tingzhen.
Xia Tingzhen was also looking at her, and ordered the housekeeper beside her: "Let everyone go and guard outside the courtyard."
The steward agreed and quickly left with his helpless servants.
"It was you who had Mrs. Lu hanged to death -" Xia Tingzhen asked, her eyes filled with coldness.
"So what if it's me! It's her who deserves to die!" Mrs. Xue gritted her teeth: "This bitch had nothing to do with what happened to Han'er back then! My Han'er is dead, what qualifications does she have to still be alive?!"
Xia Xuan couldn't help but frown.
Since the accident of her second brother, my mother has become increasingly gloomy and extreme, as if she has completely changed as a person.
Does this also mean that the second brother holds the most weight in the mother's heart?
"Han'er suffered such torture before she died... but I just asked people to strangle her to death, which was an advantage for her! I let her go down and stay with Han'er. This is her blessing!"
Looking at the ferocious-looking woman, Xia Tingzhen said in a deep voice: "It's simply hopeless——"
Mr. Xue laughed sarcastically: "I am hopeless? Yes, of course I am not as important as the master! His biological son died, and there was not even a drop of tears! ... Why do you have to pretend to be confused about Lu's matter?
, do you really know nothing? Do you really think she died in childbirth? To put it bluntly, you just think it’s not a hindrance to you, so you just ignore her!"
"Just like how you treat Han'er!"
"Have you ever been unaware of what Han'er did secretly? If you could have corrected and warned him in time, how could he have gotten to that point! Don't you, as a father, have no responsibility for what he did?"
Ms.
How loyal and upright you are, how upright you are to destroy your relatives!"
"Xia Tingzhen...my son and my daughter were all killed by you! You will have retribution!"
Xue said, her face suddenly changed, and she suddenly laughed: "No, your retribution has already come! Did you see it? Finally, even God can't tolerate you!"
Xia Tingzhen pursed her lips straightly.
Han'er is the child he has watched grow up and is the child he is most satisfied with. Will it not hurt him?
But what does it mean whether it hurts or not?
Do you want him to risk the entire Xia family just for Han'er?
Or should we let him be like this crazy woman, immersed in Han'er's death all day long, going crazy and forgetting everything!
As the head of the family, the survival of the entire Xia family rests on his shoulders, and he never has any choice.
Xia Tingzhen's eyes turned red and her voice was steady: "Everything I do is for the Xia family!"
"Whose Xia family is it for? My son is gone, my daughter is gone, is this still a family? What you are always doing is for yourself!" Ms. Xue cried and laughed: "It's a pity, your Xia family also needs it.
It’s no longer safe. You have been planning for so many years, but in the end you still reached this point..."
As he said that, he suddenly walked forward: "Why don't we go find Han'er? Master, that's your biological flesh and blood, don't you miss him? Since we can't be a family again, why don't we go and reunite together?
…”
While she was speaking, she was almost in front of Xia Tingzhen. A pair of sharp scissors suddenly appeared in her left hand covered by her wide sleeves, and she stabbed Xia Tingzhen in front of her!
"Father beware!"
Xia Xuan exclaimed in shock and quickly stepped forward to stop him.
Xia Tingzhen frowned and ducked sideways. The personal attendant who was standing by had quick eyesight and quick hands, and stepped forward to stop Mr. Xue.
Xue's stab failed, and he became even more frantic. He pushed the follower away with all his strength and tried to rush forward again.
In order to avoid the scissors in Xue's hand, the attendant turned slightly to the side. Xue's feet were unsteady and he fell to the ground. His head and face hit the stone steps heavily, and the red rope scissors in his hands flew away.
go out.
Xia Xuan quickly stepped forward and squatted down to help the person up. When he saw Xue's head and face covered with blood, he was shocked and his voice trembled: "Mother..."
In this year's situation, Xue lost not only her mind but also her body.
She was so thin that only a handful of bones were left. She fell on her head and could hardly stand up.
But she seemed not to notice the pain. She broke away from her eldest son's support, moved her body with difficulty, and reached out to get the scissors again.
His mouth was still trembling and he murmured: "... Let's go find Han'er to reunite... Master, have you forgotten? When Han'er was a child, you also carried him on your shoulders and held him to read...
...But since the emperor ascended the throne, you have changed day by day...all you can see is the fight for power, and your heart has been so cold that it turns to death..."
As he spoke, there was sadness in his voice: "You shouldn't have come to Beijing in the first place... You shouldn't have gotten involved in these non-competitions..."
Xue's eyes were filled with scarlet red, and when she was about to touch the scissors, Xia Tingzhen slowly bent down and picked it up.
"Yu Niang, do you know it's too late?"
There was no turning back from this road from the beginning.
Even if he is the only one left, he still has to move forward.
Jade Lady...
Jade Lady...
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, big tears suddenly welled up in Xue's eyes, and the look of madness disappeared. She raised her head with all her strength, raised her upper body, and stared at him closely: "No, it's not too late.
! Master, I don’t blame you anymore, and I don’t hate you anymore... Let’s go see Haner now! I really miss him so much, I think about it every day, how about we go right now?!"
Xia Tingzhen turned her head slightly, looked at her entourage, and said in a low and slow voice: "Let her go faster... and suffer less pain."
