It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room

Chapter 218 Execution

After Xie Songlin finished speaking, he stood up and was about to walk out without caring what Mrs. Xie thought for a moment.

Mrs. Xie was a little anxious and called out to him, "Hey, why are you so anxious? What time is it already?"

Xie Songlin paused and looked back at Mrs. Xie.

Seeing that her eyes looking at him were not as hopeless and lifeless as usual, but just a little red from staying up all night, he felt sorry for her and sighed, his voice becoming much gentler: "Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. It doesn't matter. I'm not that bad. Even if I can't sleep tonight, I will find out as much as possible about what Guan did."

Xie Songlin looked at Madam Xie, and his voice and tone were very gentle: "Don't think too much, leave everything to me. Just attend the banquet beautifully tomorrow and be the most beautiful mistress of the house."

Mrs. Xie's face flushed, but her expression was serious: "Stop talking nonsense. I will never forgive you until this matter is resolved."

Even though Xie Songlin had no choice, if it weren't for the secret over the years, how could her Nan Yan have suffered?

"Okay." Xie Songlin responded, his voice and tone a little bitter.

But seeing him like this, Madam Xie no longer felt distressed: "Go."

Nan Yan said that if you feel sorry for a man, you will be unlucky for eight lifetimes.

Even if it is for the sake of harmony between husband and wife, it can only be superficial.

This was what her daughter said when she repeatedly praised her son-in-law in front of her daughter.

Now that I think about it, it does make some sense.

Otherwise, it would not be unreasonable for my daughter to marry the Seventh Prince and win his love given her situation at the time.

On this side, after Xie Songlin went out, he rushed to Xie Wanning's yard.

The attendants behind him walked forward together. Seeing Xie Songlin like this, they were a little surprised and couldn't help asking: "Master, are we still going to the young lady's yard?"

"Well, I'll go later. You..."

As Xie Songlin walked, he whispered a few instructions to his followers.

After hearing this, the attendant seemed to think it made sense and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I understand. Master, don't worry."

After Xie Songlin responded, he felt relieved and said to his follower, "Well, you go and do it first."

The night was quiet and the Xie family had strict rules. At this time, there were almost no pedestrians on the road.

After a while, when they arrived at the gate of the yard, Xie Songlin's men secretly carried up a man covered with a sack.

The man's hands and feet were tied, and there was probably a cloth tied around his mouth. He was struggling and whimpering, and his body was moving a little.

It was just tied very well, so any struggle was minimal.

"Take him to the utility room. I'll be there soon."

Xie Songlin gave a cold order, glanced at the courtyard, and said, "From now on, the guards here don't need to be so vigilant. If the young lady wants to send someone out to pass on a message, don't make it too difficult, but don't be too lax and arouse suspicion."

"After you leave, have someone follow you. Report back immediately about who you met, what you said, and what you did. There can't be any mistakes. Do you understand?"

How could the attendant dare to delay? He bowed politely and said, "Yes, sir."

Xie Songlin took a deep look at the yard, then turned around and went back to the utility room.

The utility room is a courtyard. The Xie family is wealthy and has a large population, so the utility room is different from those of ordinary people. It is very spacious and has a large courtyard.

In the yard, there is a crooked jujube tree growing next to the well.

This well has been abandoned for many years.

It is said that this courtyard was used by the aunt of the Xie family who entered the palace to store her various unused items.

After my aunt entered the palace, it became a storage room.

Then, a courtyard was built specifically for my aunt at the Xiejia Lakeside Pavilion.

My aunt only goes home to visit her family once every two or three years. Every time she comes back, she stays in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and no one comes here.

At this time, Guan was hung upside down by one of her feet on a crooked jujube tree.

The Guan family members had their hands and feet tied and a cloth strip tied around their mouths.

She was sobbing all over, her eyes filled with fear and shock.

It looked like he was quite frightened.

Probably because he was hung upside down, the blood in his body flowed backwards, and his face was now purple and pale, and the veins on his forehead were bulging, making him look really miserable.

She was still hanging on the well, and the rope around her feet was not very thick.

If I break while struggling and fall into the well... I'm afraid I'll lose my life.

Guan was extremely scared and had a vague sense of foreboding in her heart, feeling that she was going to be doomed.

After a while, there was a noise in the yard outside. Guan tried her best to raise her head slightly and look towards the door.

From her angle, she could see Xie Songlin walking in under the cover of night.

He was followed by two followers. Xie Songlin's face was extremely ugly, and his eyes were full of hatred and anger when he looked at Guan.

"Master, Master... wuwu..."

Guan struggled and shouted a few words, but because her mouth was tied with a cloth, her voice was unclear and sounded a little funny.

Xie Songlin walked over and stopped a few steps away from her.

"Take the cloth off her mouth." Xie Songlin said coldly.

Even though she couldn't see Xie Songlin's expression clearly, Guan could sense an inexplicable murderous intent in his cold tone.

Guan swallowed her saliva and became even more frightened.

At this hour, why did Xie Songlin suddenly hang him like this?

After the cloth strips were untied, Guan didn't dare to scream or shout, for fear that if she attracted people, she would die faster.

"Master, why did you bring me here and hang me up? Master...If Wan Ning knew that I was taken away, she would definitely be very scared."

Guan said this in a halting manner.

At this moment, he also tried to use Xie Wan Ning to awaken the remaining fatherly love in Xie Songlin.

Xie Songlin looked down at Guan and said coldly, "She's afraid? When you swapped my daughter away, did you ever think that my daughter would be afraid too?"

Guan said helplessly: "Master, Wan Ning is also your daughter."

"How this daughter came about, I think you know it in your heart!"

Xie Songlin looked at Guan, his eyes growing even colder. "If you want to live, tell me how you switched the child back then? How did you hide it from my men? Who helped you?"

"Also, why didn't you take the child's gold lock?"

If Guan had no one to help, with her stupid brain, it would be impossible for her to replace the baby without anyone knowing, even Xie Songlin wouldn't know.

Back then, none of the maids and servants around Sister Xian were replaced.

After the baby was born, Xianmei had a gold lock put on it.

After much thought, there is only one possibility, that is the midwife.

The midwife is hired from outside, and only the midwife has the opportunity.

To avoid so many eyes and ears, he had to bribe the people around him and in the mansion.
