C75 (1/2)

When Xie Jingxi was with Marquis, the inner and outer court could still hold on. But when the His Majesty gave the order, both Marquis and Gu Heng were going to enter the palace. This time, the remaining woman was obviously not going to make a move.

The most important thing was that no one knew what exactly had happened. At this time, when the Marquis entered the palace, whether it was due to house arrest, interrogation, or even if they wouldn't be able to return, no one had made it clear. It was as if the entire Marquis Mansion was facing a great enemy, and no one had time to care about the matter of the Eldest Miss's death.

Before Marquis left, he arranged his men to guard the front courtyard, and didn't have the time to tell Xie Jingxi anything. He only hoped that Xie Jingxi could hold on, as he knew clearly in his heart that his Marquis Mansion wouldn't be stable by himself.

The reality was that not only was Lady Zeng unable to keep her balance in the battle, she could not even keep hhercalm anymore. Just a moment ago, his heart had already suffered too much due to the loss of his Eldest Miss, and now that she had left with Gu Heng, his heart was about to collapse. The life and death of the Marquis Mansion's master was uncertain, and the hearts of her family members were also unsettled.

Marquis was now lying down on the bed, and started crying as soon as he called Xie Jingxi over, ”Boss's daughter-in-law, what should we do? We've summoned both Marquis and Heng`er into the palace, and it's definitely not a good thing, if we were to lock them up and lynch them, the two of them might not have any luck!

was speechless. Lady Zeng thought so far, if even a matriarch was like this, the rest of the people in the family would definitely have second thoughts, Xie Jingxi signaled Feng Jing with her eyes, ”Watch the people in Mother's room, don't make them talk nonsense and disturb the people's hearts.”

”Yes, Grand Mistress, I woke up.”

It was a good thing that Feng Jing was sensible and didn't make a mistake along with Lady Zeng. Xie Jingxi helped the hurt Lady Zeng to get back onto the bed and said, ”Mother, don't worry, His Majesty merely invited Father to ask Little Uncle to be my guest, nothing will happen. Our Marquis Mansion have been loyal for several generations, and His Majesty will not easily hurt our hearts, if you ask clearly, everything will be fine.

Lady Zeng only wiped away her tears, ”You said that there's no one in the family that can take care of anything, what should we do with this huge family? Eldest Miss is still standing there and cannot be destroyed, my poor Eldest Miss …”

”Mother can relax, there are still Official Zhao's family and his wife at home, there won't be any problems, I'll take care of the Eldest Miss's funeral, there's already a coffin, stopping the spirit for a few days won't be a problem.”

It was the same as last time when her big brother was in trouble, he rushed to do two of them and left them at home, afraid that he would be unable to prepare for any more urgent matters. No one dared to touch Eldest Miss's corpse, they were afraid that they had been poisoned by some deadly poison, if only they could touch it, even Xie Jingqi, the mother, would not dare to touch it. Xie Jingxi could only personally carry Eldest Miss out and keep her with Fang Dai.

Xie Jingxi kept Lady Zeng in suspense, and in the end, decided to open up a bed for her to drink some Spirit Calming Medicine, allowing her to have a peaceful sleep. However, as the number of people who were running away from the Marquis Mansion continued to increase, the chaos that was just suppressed once again began to cause a ruckus. The Zhao family was one of Marquis's trusted aides and was ordered to guard the front yard. However, when they discovered that there was a servant with a second heart, they immediately punished him severely, and even made the decision to kill one of the servants to cause trouble.

In the end, they had followed the Marquis for many years, and their actions were decisive and final. When they came back to report back to Xie Jingxi, Xie Jingxi nodded her head in approval, ”Luckily, Housekeeper Zhao is here, so the mansion's people are unstable, so we should have a bit of fear and wait until things are understood, and then we can send people away. Since they have second thoughts about Marquis Mansion, they don't have to worry about those who are by the side.

Before the Marquis left, he even said that if the Grand Mistress could not stand up, then it would be convenient for him to act. But now, it seems that the Grand Mistress was a stable place, with her in the backyard, there would not be any big problems.

Therefore, Xie Jingxi instructed the manager lady s that everything in the palace was still as usual, three meals a day as usual. Each of them added two taels of silver to their pension as a consolation, and all of it came out of her account. Only after a while did the entire residence once again settle down.

It was not because Xie Jingxi was a fool, she gave out so much silver in one go within the Marquis Mansion, all kinds of reasons had to be remembered in detail, and it was unavoidable that people would criticize him, and at a time like this, she would take advantage of the fact that she was using the Marquis Mansion's silver to do a good job, to the point where she could not even win the favor of others, thus she decided to spend some silver to buy a quiet place.

As long as Gu Yun was fine, Marquis and Gu Heng would be able to send them back safely in the blink of an eye. But seeing that Tian'er was about to fall into darkness and Zhao Zhang, who had secretly escaped, was still not making any movements, Xie Jingxi felt that she was unable to sit still.

”Fang Dai, is there any way to get out of here?”
