Chapter 34 That Female Thief Comes with a Purpose

There had never been so many people gathered in the main hall of Xie's house like tonight.

Xie Xin sat in the main seat, with a majestic, square and solemn face, so broken that no wrinkles could be seen.

Everyone below dared not vent their anger, for fear of getting burned.

No one expected that Xie's father and son, who were originally scheduled to come back tomorrow afternoon, would suddenly change their itinerary, and as soon as they entered the door, they would encounter such a bloody storm.

As soon as Liao Zhu'er was carried back to Xie's house, there were signs of giving birth, and the situation was so urgent that even the hospital had no time to send her to the hospital.The family doctor who was going to kill the child turned into a midwife under the pressure, and together with several experienced women helped deliver the child.

Liao Zhu'er was overly frightened and fell asleep after giving birth. Fortunately, the mother and child are safe, and both the big and the small are safe and sound.

After listening to the doctor's report, Xie Xin shouted angrily, "Get lost", and slammed the crutch on the ground three times: "You guys are so courageous! How dare the heirs of my Xie family kill you? No matter what the child's background is, since I let her enter Xie's family, I agree with the fetus in her womb. I can't tolerate an unborn child, and I have a dark heart!"

The people below trembled and dared not say anything.This matter is led by Shen Lanqing, they are just following orders.

Shen Lanqing knew that she was referring to Sang scolding Huai, but she didn't hold it anymore.She timidly walked up to the old man, took Rashesin's arm, and admitted her mistake in a low voice: "Father, I was confused. I didn't see Zhu'er conceived a child outside, so I made such a decision because I was afraid it would be inappropriate. What do you think?" , if the child is not like Xie Lin after birth, how many people will gossip about our Xie family behind his back."

Xie Xin sneered: "It's hard to take care of the overall situation for you."

Shen Lanqing lowered her eyebrows and remained silent.

"Where's the housekeeper?" Xie Xin frowned and asked again.

"Kneeling in the side hall."

"He was brought here by you, tell me how to deal with him."

"Deducting his one-year salary, the position of chief steward will also be removed from tomorrow."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. This kind of punishment seemed severe, but in fact it was just giving the old man face in front of others.

A year's salary?Could it be that Shen Lanqing couldn't afford to post it in private?What's more, removing the post is just a way to slow down the army, wouldn't it be enough to re-appoint at a later date?

Sure enough, in less than a year, the head steward took charge of the internal affairs of the Xie family again. Of course, this is a later story.

Xie Xin saw that his daughter-in-law had a good attitude, so it was inconvenient to investigate further.

Firstly, Shen Lanqing's natal family has a strong background, if the only daughter is wronged, it will be very troublesome for the Shen family to come to her; secondly, his son Xie Qi likes Shen Lanqing very much, she dares to be so domineering, to some extent she is also Xie Qi's pet.

As for Liao Zhu'er, Xie Xin didn't want to see her at all, he just wanted to give Xie Lin a queen, so he took her in. It's hard to say whether the fetus in her womb is Xie Lin's, but it's just a thought.

However, when things got to this point, it would be impossible not to warn Shen Lanqing, so Xie Xin got angry again, and said word by word: "Since Zhu'er is kept, she and that child are not allowed to have any more accidents at Xie's house. Whoever dares to move those two people's minds, don't blame me for being cruel."

"Yes." Shen Lanqing replied in a low voice, and sat back beside Xie Qi.

Xie Qi's air pressure was very low, but he didn't speak harshly to Shen Lanqing.Raised separately from Xie Lin since childhood, the brothers are more like competitors than brothers and sisters. Although Xie Lin passed away, although he was sad, but the friendship was shallow after all, and it was not to the point where he wanted to raise his younger brother's child as his own.

He understands Shen Lanqing's thoughts and plans painstakingly, but he is worried that Bai Chen's position will be coveted by others, but to be honest, he doesn't pay much attention to Liao Zhu'er. Lan Qing also made a fuss over a molehill.

The matter came to an end, but no one dared to back down, and the atmosphere was still dull, because the Xie family sent a team at night, and they have not returned yet.

Xie Qi knew that compared to Liao Zhu'er's life and death, this second incident annoyed his father more.

The father and son came back in a hurry, and no one in Xie's house said anything, and the secret room in the garden was opened.At that time, Xie Xin had a bad premonition, so he hurried in to check with the people on duty, and as expected, he found a female thief in the snow harvesting area.

The female thief was wearing a mask and a hat, so she couldn't see her face clearly. When she saw someone coming, she ran away.

Xie Xin checked the things in the secret room while mobilizing his men and horses to chase him.

None of the antique treasures were lost, but the jewelry box containing the two strange stones was opened.

These two stones, one is obsidian and the other is aquamarine. They are not worth much in themselves, but because they contain unknown secrets and are entrusted by an old friend, Xie Xin cherishes them very much.

At this time, the sea sapphire disappeared, leaving only obsidian falling on the ground.

Looking at the situation, the female thief came here with a purpose, and only managed to steal a stone because of her urgency.

Xie Xin immediately locked the door of the secret room, and asked the searchers to find the sea sapphire with a cold face.

An hour has passed now, and the pursuer has not returned yet. The Xie family is very cautious, even breathing carefully.

Xie Qi pinched his tired brows, his eyes were slightly closed, he was annoyed that he didn't even see his son after a long day's work.

"Is Bai Chen asleep?" Xie Qi asked the servant beside him in a low voice.

"The young master is awake, and he couldn't fall asleep after being coaxed for a long time. It is estimated that there is a lot of movement outside, which scared him."

Xie Qi's eyebrows frowned even more deeply: "Let the nanny go in to coax him, and make sure he falls asleep quickly. He still has a whole day of homework tomorrow, so it's okay to be delayed by this kind of housework."

"Yes." The servant responded and hurried to do it.

The young master is the treasure of the whole family, who would dare to neglect him?

Before the servant took two steps, Xie Xin's bodyguard hurried in from the door.

"How is it?" Xie Xinda grasped the head of the crutch tightly, his eyes burning, "Have you found the gem?"

Xie Qi and Shen Lanqing also stared at the bodyguard's tightly pursed lips.

When Xie Xin was entrusted to keep these two stones, it was in a big cave. Except for the person concerned, no one else knew the secret of the gemstones. They only knew that Xie Xin valued these two stones more than his life.

Under everyone's expectant eyes, the bodyguard was downcast: "That aquamarine... I haven't found it."

"What?" Xie Xin was surprised.

"The female thief's legs and feet are very agile, like someone who has been traveling in the mountains and forests all year round. We drove her to the cliff. We thought she would be caught without a way out, but unexpectedly, she jumped off the cliff. go down!"

Xie Qi's thick eyebrows were tightened, this woman's courage is not ordinary.

"Have you sent someone to look for it along the coast?" Xie Qi asked.

"I'm still looking, but I'm afraid there is little hope." The bodyguard said honestly.

When Xie Xin heard this, he slumped on the chair as if he had lost his mind. In his mind, what the dying man said before he died echoed over and over again in his mind.

"Who? Who dared to open the door of the secret room and let this kind of theft happen in my Xie's house!" Xie Xin's aura was fully opened, and the evil spirit that had been hidden for many years poured out.

Everyone is obsequious and claims to be innocent.

Even Xie Qi didn't know the password of the secret room door, so how could they know it?

While panicking, an immature child's voice broke the tension in the room: "Grandpa, I opened the door."

　There is also a little bit of antecedents, hehe~
