C5 (1/2)

Gu Yun did not ask anything, but Xie Jingxi could not help but heave a sigh of relief, she thought that with his strange personality, seeing her sneaking out of the house, she would definitely feel weird, but she did not even say anything, nor did she give her a weird look, and she even sent her back to the Xie Palace.

Waiting until Xie Jingxi left, Gu Wan asked Gu Yun, ”Big brother, quickly tell me, why did you suddenly come here? Don't fool me with your words, could it be that someone is complaining to our family again?”

Gu Yun leaned on the walls of the carriage, his face pale as he laughed, ”It's not a complaint, someone said that you were bullied by others in the Imperial Guards, so I came over.”

”I was bullied!” ”If it wasn't for Jingwan holding me back, I would definitely take care of those grandsons. If I were you, I would say that Zhang Wenshun beat him too lightly. If it was me, his parents wouldn't even recognize me!”

Gu Yun's face showed neither happiness nor anger, ”There will be someone to take care of the Zhang Family, it is no longer important if his parents know him or not.”

Gu Wan didn't understand the meaning of her big brother's words, and thought to herself, who exactly told the people in the house in advance?

When Xie Jingxi returned to her residence, Ming Yu was already waiting for her. ”Miss, you're back.

”I understand. Have you done what I told you to?”

”Don't worry young lady, everything is settled.”

Xie Jingxi nodded, changed her clothes and headed to Lady Xu. All of Lady Xu's life was smooth and she had probably never encountered such an anxious and anxious situation. First it was Second Miss, then it was Fourth Brother, and finally there was an upset concubine. This immediately exposed the weakness of Lady Xu.

”Mother, I just went to Gu Sanniang's place. I've already heard about what happened with Fourth Brother. Has father sent any message?”

”You also know your father's temperament, so you also know that he's been raised to go to the justice courts for a long time. We, the Fourth Brother, have always been pampered since childhood, so how could we bear that kind of pain? We didn't commit murder or arson, so we just brought him home to be taught a lesson by closing doors.

She knew that the matter at hand was not simple, so she did not dare to plead with Xie Cen. However, she could not sit still and watch as Fourth Brother went to the justice courts to suffer.

Xie Jingxi could only console her, ”Mother, don't worry, father has his troubles, and always has to do things the way he looks, how can I bear to see Fourth Brother suffer. Father always has his limits when it comes to doing things, and it was only because he was forced to do it, Fourth Brother did not beat people to death, so what can the justice courts do, I have never heard of anyone being convicted because of this matter.”

The Lady Xu was confused because of hesheconcern. After being advised by Xie Jingxi, she calmed down and barely managed to eat a few mouthfuls of lunch. She stopped sleeping and sat inside the house, waiting for news. It was only until ten o'clock in the evening that they finally received the message. Although Fourth Brother did not enter the Supreme Court, he was still temporarily guarding the court, and would be back in the morning at the latest.

”Has father returned?” Hearing that Fourth Brother was alright for the time being, Xie Jingxi asked again.

”Master is still in the cabinet. He said that the Third Master of the Zhang family accidentally killed someone in the brothel, and someone also handed a paper to the cabinet. He accused Elder Zhang's family of selling officials and selling nobility, and bullied the corrupt and greedy citizens, and Master has already been busy for a long time. Since the emperor is aware of this matter, perhaps Master will stay in the cabinet tonight.”

Lady Xu immediately told Li mama to clean up, and also grabbed Manager Xu to ask a few more questions to make sure that Fourth Brother was fine before letting him go. She then pulled Xie Jingxi along and said, ”Truly, evil people have their own retribution, the Zhang Family itself is not clean, and our grandson and son came out in a queue to cause trouble, all of these are people from the same school. They don't care about our Fourth Brother anymore, so we didn't know that sending them back for apologies, and when the creases fell into your father's hands, I want to see if he can still sit.”

Lady Xu's words could not be said for sure. It was because of Fourth Brother's matter that caused her father to have to avoid suspicion. Since Fourth Brother did not return, she was able to cover everyone's mouths for a while. Knowing that Fourth Brother was fine meant that Xie Jingxi could finally be able to rest at ease. As for Zhang Family, it was something that would happen sooner or later.

The person Third Master of the Zhang Family had beaten to death a nephew of his from a side room in the Lu Family. When he heard that the son of the family had gone through a lot of trouble and got such a precious brother in half his life, he was beaten to death in an easy manner. The people of the Lu Family were naturally unwilling to give up. When the yamen saw that this matter involved all the aristocratic families that could not be offended, they had no choice but to pass the paper money to the justice courts, who would dare to interfere in the matter of Zhang Family, and directly passed the paper money to the cabinet.

This Lu Family was none other than the side chamber of the Ministry of War, which was also the home of Big Sis' wife. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that Zhang Family and Xie Family did indeed have something to do with each other. The entire families that were related to Xie Family had suffered greatly because of this, and now that they saw the matter of Fourth Brother, no one could say that Xie Family was wrong.

After arriving at the side of the night, Fourth Brother and Xie Cen returned to the Xie Clan Residence. As usual, Fourth Brother was subject to punishment and was forced by Xie Cen to kneel at the ancestral hall. Xie Cen did not come back for the entire night, his face was haggard and haggard, the Lady Xu personally helped him wash his hands, and gave him the broth that he had been simmering for half a day, before sitting down and speaking.

”I'm afraid that I'll have to busy myself with the matter of Zhang Family for a while.

”Wherever the old master says it, isn't it all a matter of duty?” Lady Xu passed him a cup of tea, ”I heard that one of Lu Family's nephew is gone, do we need someone to take a look?”
