Chapter 164 Guessing the Truth
Chapter 164 Guessing the Truth
Xie Yun is still recovering from his injuries.
The outer layer of his wound has healed, but the inner layer has not yet healed, so it hurts when touched and he can't sit.
Of course he knew that Xie Jia had returned, but he just wanted to let Chen Fang teach her a lesson first, and then he would come forward to teach his daughter, so he deliberately hid and did not rush over immediately.
Who would have thought that Xie Xiu would bring Tu Jiaojiao to the door!
As soon as the two entered the mansion, Xie Yun got the news.
However, when he learned that the two had gone to Chen Fang's yard, he gave up the idea of meeting them and just asked someone to watch them secretly.
Unexpectedly, the two of them didn't stay in Du Hengyuan for too long. After coming out, they came to him again!
Xie Yun guessed that the two of them were holding back their fart, and instinctively didn't want to see them, but they just barged in!
When Xie Yun heard the noise, he immediately glared at the door in dissatisfaction, but saw Xie Xiu's face full of worry: "Father, are you okay?
My wife and I were worried about our father's injuries, so we rushed over to visit him. But these cunning servants dared to stop us! What are they trying to do? Are they trying to put our father under house arrest? Who gave them the guts?
Xie Yun was so angry that he felt a breath of air stuck in his chest, neither rising nor falling.
Could he say that he didn't want to see his eldest son and his wife and deliberately let the servants stop them?
Of course not, that would be considered as an unkind father.
So he could only turn the gun around, glaring at the servants, and angrily scolded them: "Young Master and Madam, come here, who told you to stop them? Back off now!"
The servants were filled with grievances but dared not to refute. They could only curse Xie Yun's ancestors in their hearts and retreat obediently.
Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao immediately came to Xie Yun and asked him about his well-being, acting like filial sons and daughters-in-law.
Xie Yun felt annoyed as he watched the two people's exaggerated performance without any sincerity.
But he couldn't scold.
Xie Xiu has lost his memory and has been living away from home for many years, so it is understandable that he feels unfamiliar with his biological father.
Tu Jiaojiao had only been in the capital for a short time and had always lived in the countryside. Could he really complain that she was not polite enough?
What's more, the two of them were full of concern for him, and their voices were loud, as if they were afraid that people outside couldn't hear them.
If he criticized their expressions as not sincere enough, wouldn't that be nitpicking? Was he deliberately attacking them?
Xie Yun kept talking until he couldn't bear to listen any longer, then he said, "Everything is fine at home, you don't have to worry.
It's getting late, you should hurry back, otherwise it will be too late. When it gets dark, you will encounter the Black Kirin Guards patrolling the city and be stopped and interrogated."
A loving tone that was all for the good of both of them.
Tu Jiaojiao immediately said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, my husband and I have calculated the time and will not delay.
We came here this time because we heard that our second sister was in trouble outside. Fortunately, she was rescued and met the Black Kirin Guards on the way, and was escorted back home, so we rushed here specially."
Xie Yun's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed drastically: "What did you say? Where did you hear that?"
Tu Jiaojiao was surprised: "Father, don't you know? Has the news spread outside? They say that my second sister met a kidnapper and was later rescued by a man named Pei Rong.
We just went to my mother-in-law's house to see my second sister, and heard her talking about this.
The second sister also asked her mother-in-law to prepare her marriage. It seems that she wanted to marry Pei Rong in return for saving her life.
Don’t these fathers-in-law know about this? Could it be that the people below are afraid of the father-in-law getting angry and are deliberately hiding it from him?”
Xie Yun was immediately furious: If it weren't for Chen Fang's order, how could the people below dare to hide it from him? This stupid woman is really getting more and more confused. Such a big thing happened at home, and she actually hid it from him!
And that damn girl Xie Jia, it would have been fine if she had just eloped with someone, but she even ran back on purpose, saying that she had encountered a kidnapper and was rescued.
Who would believe such a lie that is trying to cover up the truth?
Now that everyone knows about it, who else can she marry except Pei Rong?
This guy named Pei Rong is really good at scheming. He actually deceived Xie Yun’s legitimate daughter!
Seeing that he was very angry, Xie Xiu continued, "Father, I think this matter is a little strange. My second sister has been missing for so long, what happened outside?
Why did she meet the kidnapper? Why didn't she go home directly after being rescued? Instead, she met the Black Qilin Guards and spread the news to everyone?
Xie Yun's face darkened: "I will have someone investigate this matter, you don't have to think too much about it, just go back quickly."
He looked at Xie Xiu and said, "Although you have been delayed for these years, you can't neglect your studies. Now that you have entered the Imperial College, you should take this opportunity to learn more. Even if you can't pass the imperial examination, if you can pass the juren examination, you will have a good future in the future."
Unexpectedly, Xie Xiu suddenly said, "There is one more thing I want father to know. My second sister just told mother that she wants the dowry left by my mother as her dowry."
"What!" Xie Yun was so frightened that he almost jumped up, but ended up pulling the wound. He immediately grimaced in pain, but he had to soothe her face, "She's just messing around! Don't worry, I will never agree to this!"
Xie Xiu said quietly, "I'm just afraid that my second sister has been deceived."
Seeing Xie Yun's ugly face, obviously very angry, he decided to stop while he was ahead.
After pretending to care about Xie Yun for a few words, he went out with Tu Jiaojiao.
Tu Jiaojiao held back her outburst until she got into the carriage, then she angrily said, "Xie Jia is too arrogant."
Xie Xiu sneered, "I thought I would have to endure for a long time before I could break off relations with them, but now I don't have to."
Tu Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat: "What do you want to do?"
Xie Xiu squeezed her hand soothingly: "Let's talk about it when we get back."
At home, Xie Ying also curled her lips coldly: Xie Jia is indeed as greedy and arrogant as described in the book.
After returning home, Xie Xiu dismissed the servants and then said, "This Pei Rong must have done it on purpose. He eloped with Xie Jia because he seemed to be coveting her status.
They came back with the Black Kirin Guards this time, probably on purpose.
It was impossible for Xie Yun and Chen Fang not to see through his calculations, but since things had come to this point, they didn't want to lose face, so they had no choice but to accept it and cover up for those two people.
As he spoke, his fists became harder and harder.
When he heard his daughter's voice, he couldn't understand why he could easily recognize Xie Jia, who had eloped with someone, after being away from home for many years?
Now it seems that it is very likely that he did not recognize Xie Jia and forcibly bring the two back to the capital.
Instead, after Pei Rong and Xie Jia learned of his identity, they deliberately plotted against him and used him to return to Beijing.
However, although he brought the two people back to Beijing, he also ruined their original plan.
As a result, their affair did not become known to everyone, giving Chen Fang the opportunity to secretly get rid of Pei Rong and giving Xie Jia the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family.
However, Xie Jia's marriage is still somewhat suspicious. Ordinary people may not know about her elopement, but it is impossible for those wealthy families to not find any clues.
How could he marry a woman who had eloped before?
Xie Jia is not a stunning beauty.
Chen Fang is of average appearance, and even though Xie Jia inherited Xie Yun's good looks, he is still not outstanding, and is even not as good as Xie You.
How did she, such a woman, marry into a wealthy family in the future predicted by Yingying?
Xie Xiu couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he simply stopped worrying about it.
Anyway, this time, Xie Jia can't marry into a wealthy family again and rely on her status to do evil.
And he will never let these people have an easy time!
