Chapter 620: What Hatred? What Resentment?

Not only had she sold him, but she had also used him as a means to deceive people.
Hui Jing’s heart was now riddled with holes. She was shocked and afraid. She even hated Yuan Hai for lying and pulling Mother Xie to confess.
Mother Xie couldn’t bear to see Huijing, a good nunnery head, acting like she had lost her mind. She patted her hand and said,”It’s not your fault. I know you’re innocent. Otherwise, why would you only take Yuan Hai away? In the future, if the authorities come to question you, you can just tell them the truth.”
That was all he could say.
He couldn’t come to Guangde Nunnery in the future. He had a shadow in his heart.

Xie Xian, on the other hand, immediately returned to the Xie residence after receiving the news. At that time, the Xie family’s womenfolk had already stayed in Yi An Hall for more than half a day. Their moods had somewhat calmed down, but they also had a lingering fear of escaping death.
“It’s targeted at A-Niang and A-Sao…Which one did Mother and Sister-in-law offend?”Madam Wang held the hot tea in her hand, but it could not warm up her frightened little heart.
Directly killing someone, how much hatred did this have?
“Could it be the Zhou family again?”
She could only think of the Zhou family as the crazy one.
“Her family is good at using poison. She was the one who wanted to poison Bao Xin back then, but Yuan Jiuniang ate it by mistake. Then, Zhou Dalang colluded with bandits and wanted to take advantage of the chaos of the siege to kill the entire Xie family.”
“Yes, yes! “Now that Sister-in-law said that, I remember.” Madam Cai clapped her hands.”Their family is quite crazy and ruthless.”
“But those who should be killed have been killed, and those who shouldn’t have been killed…The only daughter that was married off was Chu Dalang’s wife. She was locked up in the back of the house and had not been released yet. Moreover, there was a Consort Dowager Zhou in the palace. If she wanted to come out and find a gambling addict, she probably wouldn’t have such ability.”Moreover, was the Zhou family really a perverted murderer? Could the probability be so high?
“This is still speculation. It’s not accurate at all.” Madam Yuan frowned. The Xie family had offended a lot of people in recent years. I’m a straightforward person, and I’ve offended many people.”
He said that purely because he didn’t want his daughter-in-law to look bad.
In the past, the Zhou family’s crazy revenge had already attracted a lot of dissatisfaction from the Xie family. This time, before they had even closed the coffin, they had already pointed it at the Zhou family. How could Xiao Baoxin endure this?
“That’s right.”
At this moment, Xie Xian walked in briskly. There was a gust of wind on his body. It was obvious that he was really anxious.
After listening to the end of the sentence, he roughly knew what was going on.
Although he came back slowly, the guards who should know what had happened had already explained everything clearly.
After all, the image of Xiao Baoxin stepping on a murderous nun was too shocking. The guards watched from the beginning to the end and did not miss a single detail. Even the snot of the nun who killed her was in her mouth, and she had to suck it in again…The guard felt disgusted as he spoke.
The Xie family had a precedent to follow, so they directly threw the nun to the health order.
The first place Xie Xian went to after leaving the government office was the Jiankang Magistrate’s government office. Yan Dong had even started the torture, but Yuan Hai’s confession was exactly the same as the confession he gave at Guangde Nunnery.
He didn’t hide anything back then, but if he wanted to know more, he wouldn’t.
“Yuan Hai only wanted to kill mother and grandmother.”Xie Xian confirmed again.
“Yeah, he’s too ruthless!” Madam Wang was furious.” What kind of grudge do you have? Why are you so vicious?” How many years has it been since I last saw him?”
There were a lot of dirty things happening in the backyards of aristocratic families. It was not that they did not use drugs, but it was usually between the mistress and the concubine. There was no end to the abortion medicine or the damage to the body’s foundation. There were millions of ways to torture people. There was really no need to make it a life-and-death battle.
That was why Zhou Weiniang had caused an uproar in Jiankang City when she had poisoned him. That was the thunder god vine, a deadly thing.
And now, there was this Yuanhai.
“Oh right, he said it was poisoned, but he didn’t say what kind of poison it was.””Do you know what kind of poison that round sea used?” Madame Cai asked.”It couldn’t be thunder vine again, right?
Knowing that Xie Xian loved his wife as much as his life, Madam Cai held back her words and did not mention it.
She said it unintentionally, but she was afraid that the listener would mean it, as if she had some kind of direction.
Xie Xian was a man with a heavy heart, and Lady Cai didn’t want to be embarrassed by any unnecessary misunderstanding.
“Is it thunder vine?” It was Xiao Baoxin who asked.
She had no choice. There was only one poison in her treasure trove of knowledge, and it was relatively easy to obtain.
Moreover, even if she didn’t ask, the first thing that people would think of would be this thing. It had appeared in Jiankang City more than once and was almost the number one poison in Jiankang City. It was a necessity at home, the first choice for poisoning people.
There were some things that others would not think if they were not mentioned, let alone others. Even Xiao Baoxin was muttering in his heart. Could it be that some weed in the Zhou family could not be burned and the spring breeze blew it out again?
If it was really the Zhou family, she was really impressed by their attitude.
They fought to the death.
It was not that she did not feel guilty. If it was really the Zhou family, then she would be the cause of the disaster. She had dragged the Xie family down time and time again. If the Xie family did not pick on her, she would feel guilty.
Xie Xian glanced at her.
“This is directed at me. Grandmother, mother, and two aunts were shocked.”
“Charge at you?” Everyone was shocked.
Actually, there was no need to say too much. Everyone understood what Xie Xian meant.
Regardless of whether it was Mother Xie or Madam Yuan, if either of them died, Xie Xian would have to resign.
This was a secret method of the officialdom. No wonder Xie Xian said that he was here for him.
There was no need to think about it. It was all in Xie Xian’s heart. Why did he care about him the most? There was no way to kill him. The Xie family had many men of sacrifice, and they were especially fierce. They poisoned him, and he rarely participated in gatherings.
If he really wanted to attack his grandmother and mother, he would have to observe filial piety for at least three years. The court had just changed, and even if he returned, there might not be a place for him.
“Which family is it?” Mother Xie slammed her hand on the table, her face turning green. She was even angrier than when she knew she was going to be poisoned to death. They dared to touch her precious grandson, the most outstanding person in the Xie family.
“If I find out, our Xie family will definitely fight to the death!”
Xie Xian coughed lightly,”Grandson has offended too many people, and I can’t think of it at the moment.””
Mother Xie was speechless.
Madam Yuan was speechless.
Everyone was speechless.
Such honesty left them speechless.
That was true. Ever since Xie Xian became an official, he had offended many aristocratic families. After helping Emperor Yong Ping ascend the throne, he had suppressed dissidents even more. Counting on his fingers, it could be counted for half an hour.
Xiao Baoxin rubbed his fists and thought, Let me touch them one by one! He didn’t believe that he couldn’t find the bad guy with sores on his head and pus on his feet!
Xie Xian gave her a look from afar, telling her to calm down.
What a joke. He would rather eliminate them one by one than throw his wife out to touch people. No matter how sharp the weapon was, it wouldn’t work. He didn’t believe that his brain couldn’t catch up to his wife’s hands!
She had the golden finger to protect her, and he had the strongest brain!
