Fast Travel: Endangered Pup Rescue Project

Chapter 782 Postscript, Xiao Ling's World (Twenty)
After two days of not eating or drinking, Xu Huixin finally gave in for the sake of the child. This child carried the blood of their Xu family, and she wanted to give birth to this child safely.

"How did they collect so much evidence in such a short time? I don't believe these officials did it all of a sudden." Xu Huixin's eyes were full of bloodshot. She tightly grasped Si Hengnian's arm and cried, "Can you help me find out who was involved?"

"Even if you don't tell me, I will do the same. I will not let anyone who hurts you go!" Si Hengnian's voice was cold and his eyes were terrifying. "Even if they are from the royal family, it will be the same."

Since the emperor personally issued an imperial decree to sentence the prime minister's family to be beheaded in public, the execution date soon arrived. Although the death penalty was pardoned for children under ten years old, there were no children of that age in the prime minister's mansion, and only the young children of the Xu family escaped.

In other words, from then on, Xu Huixin no longer had any relatives.

As for the two concubine sisters, firstly, they had been married long ago, secondly, they had a bad relationship since childhood, and thirdly, the two concubine sisters were divorced by their husbands after their dowries were confiscated. Xu Huixin never saw them again, so she did not consider them as relatives.

"Hengnian, you are the only one I can rely on from now on."

"And our child, he will always protect you."

"It's snowing..." Xu Huixin looked out the window, tears streaming down her face. It wasn't that she didn't want to see her parents off for the last time, but she couldn't go because of her current health.

"I have arranged for someone to collect the bodies. I will not let my father-in-law and mother-in-law lie dead in a mass grave."

"But if you do this, will His Majesty be displeased?"

"He doesn't like me, and this incident is not enough. The entire Prime Minister's Mansion has been destroyed. Could it be that he wants to use this incident to make the Prince Xun's Mansion guilty? Even if the court officials agree, the people will not agree."

Outside the execution ground, Qi Jiejing held an umbrella for Song Xia: "Mom, are you going home?"

Song Xia looked at the sky and saw no sign of the snow stopping. In his previous life, the General's Mansion was destroyed in this way. The whiteness of the snow covered up all the sins. Now it was the Prime Minister's Mansion's turn. The next one should be Prince Xun's Mansion.

"Back."

"It's hard for Princess Xun to resist coming to see her off for the last time."

"Si Hengnian loved her so much, how could he let her be so heartbroken?"

"It's a pity that he didn't fall for it this time. It would have been fun if he had robbed a prisoner or a prisoner at the execution ground."

"He was able to win so many battles, so he must have some plans in mind. Besides, he got to know Xiao Luo and Rukawa again before."

Qi Jiejing smiled slyly: "I guess he will come to me next."

"Lingling, no matter what you do, you must bring those guards with you. Si Hengnian is afraid of the two princes, Xiaoluo and Liuchuan, but he may not be afraid of you. There is no guarantee that he will not do something extreme under the impulse."

"Don't worry, stepmother. I still want to accompany you through this life!"

As expected by both of them, when Qi Jiejing returned to the Qi Mansion, Si Hengnian was already waiting for them, and returning with him was their common mother.

After knowing that Qi Jiejing was her biological daughter, Mrs. Qi looked at Qi Jiejing with complicated eyes, but Qi Jiejing didn't want to pay any attention to her at all.

"What do you want from me?" She sat down at the main seat with an expression that said, "You'd better be busy."

Mrs. Qi was immediately irritated: "Qi Jiejing, is this how you talk to us? I am your mother and he is your brother!" Although Mrs. Qi felt a little guilty towards Qi Jiejing at first after knowing all the truth, her favoritism over the years had become a habit and it was difficult to change.

Not to mention that the woman she had mistakenly thought was her biological daughter had now become her son's daughter-in-law and was loved and cherished by her son, so her preference had not changed at all.

Qi Jiejing shrugged: "If it's possible, I really don't want you as a mother, and I don't want him as a brother. We are only related by blood, so don't talk to me about other things. I'm not interested."

"Qi Jiejing, you... do you know that he is the Prince of Honor personally appointed by His Majesty? If you were not Hengnian's sister, you would never have come into contact with such a powerful person in your life."

"You think I'm so precious." Qi Jiejing rolled her eyes. "The whole family of the prime minister's mansion was just executed, so why do you come to the Qi Mansion at this time to talk to me? If you have something to say, please tell me. If not, I have other things to do."

Madam Qi glared and said, "Do you really not care about family affection?"

"That's ridiculous." Qi Jiejing looked at her sarcastically, "Have you ever cared?"

Mrs. Qi choked: "I...I used to be..."

"Mom, don't say so much to her." Si Hengnian was also a little annoyed, "My last name is Si, her last name is Qi, she and I are not from the same family."

After hearing what her own son said, Mrs. Qi became silent and stopped talking.

Si Hengnian stared at Qi Jiejing solemnly: "According to what I have found, after Feng Shao went to war, you asked the Qi family to transport a lot of supplies to the border?"

"Yes." Qi Jiejing nodded calmly, "Any questions?"

"I ask you to stop these actions immediately."

Qi Jiejing nodded: "Sure, what are your conditions?"

Seeing that Si Hengnian just had a gloomy expression, she pretended to be surprised: "No way, you won't let me bear the loss and stop the business like this, right? You also said that I have nothing to do with you. In business, you have to show enough sincerity, so that I can do things for you, right?"

"In the future, you will be indispensable."

"Stop." Qi Jiejing made a gesture to stop him. "You want my Qi family to take risks for you in vain with just one sentence? This is impossible. Your Highness, the times are different now. The business model must change."

"When has this king ever been short of you before? If it weren't for this king, would your Qi Mansion's business be so big?"

"You can't say that. We were cooperating with each other before. If my Qi family hadn't escorted supplies and transferred food for you, you wouldn't have been able to fight so smoothly, right?"

"So you're not willing to cooperate this time?"

"Where did I say I won't cooperate? I just want His Royal Highness Prince Xun to show some sincerity first. After all, when General Feng went to war, he had already signed a contract with my Qi family. You can't let me bear the loss of breaking the contract, right? Your Royal Highness Prince Xun is reluctant to part with it, right? You brought back so many treasures when you went to war. Could it be that you used them as a betrothal gift for Princess Xun? My loss is far from even half of that betrothal gift!"

It would have been fine if we didn't talk about the betrothal gift. When he talked about it, Si Hengnian felt upset. So many treasures were all confiscated.

"Whose side are you on? I am the mistress of the Qi family. If you don't agree, you will have to hand over the housekeeper's power. It is not up to a young girl like you to have the final say in the Qi Mansion." Madam Qi was angry and showed off her status.

Qi Jiejing put her index finger on her lips and said, "Mother, if you don't want to be divorced and kicked out of the house, you'd better be quiet. If it weren't for your daughter, do you think you could have stayed in the Qi Mansion for so many years in peace? Making trouble will not only be bad for you, but also for His Royal Highness Prince Xun. He already has a princess with a very bad reputation, and now he has a divorced mother. He will really be laughed at by the world."
