Xie Jingwan accompanied Mrs Xu to eat, then chatted a little more about family matters before leaving the main house at noon. Before she could leave the courtyard, she saw a steward running into the front yard in a flurry, almost bumping into her. Xie Jingwan guessed that something was up, so she stopped him, ”Mother was a little tired just now. I just took a rest. Is Manager Xu in a hurry?
Manager Xu was the butler for the small matters in the front and back courtyard. She often came to the back courtyard and knew that Third Miss was giving her pointers. Lady Xu was not in a good mood, so he had a sense of propriety when he spoke. Housekeeper Xu could not wipe away her feelings, and after thinking about what happened, she quietly said to Xie Jingxi: To be honest, Third Miss is in trouble.
Xie Jingxi's heart skipped a beat, and Housekeeper Xu looked around and said softly: ”You have a plan, young master had an argument with someone at the academy, and accidentally injured the grandson of Grand Commandant Zhang, but Zhang Tai Ming was not willing to let the matter go, so he brought the matter to the justice courts. Grand Commandant Zhang was close to the justice courts, and suppressed our young master, not wanting to let them go, anyway, the situation ahead is very complicated, and I will not be able to explain it in a short while, so don't get angry.
Xie Jingxi thanked Butler Xu and hurried back to her own courtyard. Everything happened so quickly, Xie Jingxi did not remember Fourth Brother doing this before. Fourth Brother was not a person who liked to cause trouble, why would he make a move on others, could it be because of her?
”Miss, what happened to you? What happened to you?” Ming Yu passed the furnace to Xie Jingxi, but Xie Jingxi did not receive it, ”Something has happened to Jingyu, go and fetch my man's clothes, I want to go out.”
Ming Yu was startled, ”What's wrong with young master Jingyu, Miss, where do you want to go?
”You can't go!” Xie Jingxi said sternly: ”Jingyu has started a quarrel with someone, I am afraid that father will not forgive him, so I will go to the Crown Prince's overseer to remind him. I have more important things for you to do.”
Xie Jingxi called Ming Yu over and whispered a few words in her ear. Ming Yu knew that the situation was serious, she kept her previous mischievous look and personally went to prepare clothes for Xie Jingxi. Xie Jingxi was also unsure in her heart, but she would not be at ease if she did not take a look. With Xie Cen's temper, he would definitely not let her go, if Zhang Tai Wei decided to pursue this matter, Jingyu would definitely suffer, but fortunately, she thought of Gu Sanniang.
Other than Gu Heng, Gu Yun was somewhat unusual with the Gu siblings. There was no need to talk about Gu Yun, but Gu Sanniang was a truly extraordinary woman. She, a woman from a pavilion, had disguised herself as a man and went to the Crown Prince. Everyone knew that there were four siblings in the Gu family, but they didn't know that there were only three, and that Gu Wan had to carry two of them alone.
In her previous life, the only person she could grow up to see her was Gu Wan. The only reason she dared to go to the Crown Prince Prison on her own was also because of Gu Wan's presence, or perhaps it was her own fault, she really wouldn't be able to get in. Xie Jingxi called herself the attendant in front of the Second Master of the Marquis Mansion, and came over to pass a message to the Fourth Young Master. The gatekeeper had informed Gu Wan to come over to pick her up, and when Gu Sanniang saw that it was Xie Jingxi, she immediately guessed why she had come over.
”You sure are bold. Aren't you afraid that your father will punish you if he finds out? Forget it, if you are afraid, you are not Xie Jingxi. ” Gu Sanniang pulled Xie Jingxi to the side, ”You still don't know what's going on?”
Xie Jingxi nodded her head, ”I guess it has something to do with me, Jingyu has always been an honest man, and will not take the initiative to cause trouble, is Jingyu still in the Imperial Guards?”
I'm here, I'm fine with the person. Although Zhang Family has already reported to the justice courts, in the end, it's still obstructing your father's reputation by not taking him away.
Hearing Gu Sanniang's words, Xie Jingxi finally understood in her heart. There were many sons of Grand Commandant Zhang Tie, and he was the only one with a grandson. Normally, it wouldn't be enough to hold him in his hands. After listening to Gu Sanniang's narration, the reason for this matter was still her marriage to the Fang family. The Zhang Family and the Fang family were a little dirty, Zhang Wen Shun naturally did not like the Fang family's future brother-in-law, Xie Jingyu.
If it was anyone else, they would have to beat him up as well. But this matter happened to be at the critical juncture of Xie Cen's advancement and many eyes were focused on him, with Jingyu attacking first, there was no way they could be biased towards him. If Xie Jingyu were to make a trip to the justice courts, he would have to at least take off a layer of skin before letting go.
Xie Jingxi had already made a plan to not let Xie Jingyu enter the Supreme Court no matter what. Thus, she followed Gu Wan to the place they were temporarily imprisoning Xie Jingyu. Gu Wan came from the Marquis Anfeng, but she could still give herself some face wherever she went. Xie Jingxi claimed to be the second young mistress of the Marquis Mansion, when she heard that her brother was in trouble, she sent people over to take a look.
The guards took advantage of Gu Wan and reluctantly let them in. Seeing Xie Jingyu's pitiful appearance, Xie Jingxi's heart ached.
”Big Sis, why did you come!” Xie Jingyu couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Xie Jingxi. ”If Father finds out, I will blame you again.”
”Don't worry about me for now. There isn't much time. Remember, don't say anything. Don't admit it. Sister will rescue you soon.”
”Sister …” Xie Jingyu retreated with hot blood, knowing how to be afraid. ”Father will definitely hit me, I …”
”Just take it if I hit you!” Xie Jingxi lowered her voice, but her tone was strict. ”A gentleman should be honest, the things he does should be carried away, it's just taking a few blows, he won't die.”
