Xie Shizi's shameless daily life

Chapter 161 Chapter 161

The man hidden in the smoke chuckled: "Xie Shengzi, oh no, you have made military achievements and have been appointed as a military officer by Qin Su." The man walked closer to him little by little, and his vague face was completely exposed in front of him: "Xie Military Officer, how are you?"

It's him!

Xie Jin could no longer hold on to the dizziness in his body, so he closed his eyes and fell limply beside the grave mound!
From day till night, Zhou Huijie hadn't seen his son. He called the servant who served Xie Jin to inquire about him, and only then did he learn that there were bandits on the hillside behind.

She was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she learned this, but her heart suddenly tightened again.

Zhou Huijie felt a little uneasy. Logically speaking, if the situation on the back hillside was really tricky and Jin'er couldn't get away, then he should have sent someone to tell her if he didn't come back all day so that she wouldn't worry, instead of having no news at all like now!
When Zhou Huijie thought of this, he immediately made a prompt decision and went to Linyinyuan!

Lin Yin had just finished feeding her daughter the medicine when she heard the maid announce that Lady Xianguogong had come to her courtyard to look for her!
Lin Yin put down the medicine bowl and told someone to invite the person in. She had already guessed the purpose of Zhou Huijie coming to her courtyard.

Zhou Huijie walked into Lin Yin's room and said directly without saying hello: "Please ask Madam Lin to send some people to the mountain to check on my son's current situation!"

Lin Yin would not refuse, and apologized to her repeatedly: "I was confused. The prince has not come back for so long, I should have sent someone to the mountain to check the situation."

Zhou Huijie smiled and looked at her: "Madam, don't blame yourself. As a mother, I am really worried about Jin'er, so I came to bother you."

The two of them exchanged pleasantries, and the person who was going to the mountain to check the situation was also sent out amid the two of them's politeness.

Lin Yin tried to get close to Zhou Huijie, but Zhou Huijie was absent-minded in dealing with her. The person sent out had not come back. Could it be that Shan Zhong was really...
What happened?

Seeing that it was getting completely dark outside, Lin Yin's eyes flashed and she spoke to Zhou Huijie even more earnestly.
It was not until the second half of the night that the people who were sent out hurried back. More than 20 people knelt in a row. After listening to the report from the leader, Zhou Huijie fell limply into the chair!
Lin Yin looked at her worriedly: "How come there is no one in this mountain? The prince clearly went to the mountain this morning?"

Lin frowned and said, "These servants are very stupid. Maybe they didn't look carefully. Otherwise, why don't we send the people that the prince left behind to protect us to the mountain to check the situation?"

Zhou Huijie pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty: "These people can't withdraw. If those thieves are thinking of going to the summer resort, then these girls in the resort will be threatened."

That's true. Everyone who came to the summer resort this time has an official position and their daughters are all well-bred. If those thieves set their sights on these girls, then these girls will be ruined! What's more, Yu Jin is here too!

Zhou Huijie tried hard to think of a solution: "Go back to Beijing, we will go back to Shangjing now!" After returning to Shangjing, ask Xie Jingrong to send someone to find his son!
Lin Yin also knew that this was the only way at the moment, so he quickly ordered his servants to wake up the ladies, girls, and boys in each courtyard and set off immediately back to Shangjing!
Those who were dreaming sweetly were suddenly woken up and couldn't help complaining. However, after learning that a servant was killed and the prince of Duke Xian's mansion disappeared in just one day, they dared not complain anymore. After all, nothing is more important than life!
The summer resort was brightly lit at night, and the servants of the nobles moved around the resort nimbly, packing the bags they brought into the cars one by one!

The servants held lanterns, and the maids helped the ladies and girls get on the carriages. Around the carriages, there were men riding horses and guards with swords on their waists!
When Zhao Shu came here, she rode in the same carriage with Zhang Lanyin, but on the way back, Zhao Shu did not ride in the same carriage with her. Instead, she asked someone to harness a new carriage and rode alone!

Zhang Lanyin didn't think much about it. After all, before coming to the summer resort, Zhao Shu always drove a carriage whenever she went out.

But only after she hurried back to Beijing did she realize how wrong she was!
Zhang Lanyin took Xueying and stood at the gate of Zhao's house, waiting for Zhao Shu to get off the carriage. But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement at all in the carriage that Zhao Shu was riding in.

Zhang Lanyin looked at the carriage that was parked quietly at the door, her eyes suddenly stern, and then she shouted to the servants: "Go and lift the curtain of the carriage behind me!"

The servant obeyed the order and ran to lift the curtain. Zhang Lanyin held Xueying's hand tightly and looked at the carriage with a cold and angry expression.

As the servants opened the curtain, Zhang Lanyin's face showed a look of impending anger, and Zhao Xueying looked at the empty carriage in shock!

Where are the people? Didn’t they come back together? Did they get lost along the way? !

Zhao Xueying said in surprise: "Where is the person? You lost him!"

At this moment, the servant exclaimed: "Madam, there is a letter in the car!"

Without waiting for her mother to speak, Zhao Xueying said hastily, "Hurry up and bring it over!"

The servant bent down to take out the letter from the carriage, trotted over to Zhao Xueying and the others, and handed the letter over respectfully.

Zhao Xueying snatched the letter and opened it in no time.

After Zhao Xueying read the contents of the letter, her expression changed and she involuntarily glanced at her mother beside her.

Zhang Lanyin was mentally prepared, but when she saw those elegant words, she couldn't help but stagger two steps.

"I have something to do. I'll be back later. Don't worry."

Zhang Lanyin snatched the letter from Zhao Xueying's hand, threw it on the ground, and shouted in a low voice: "Nonsense!"

The letter fell from the sky to the ground. Zhang Lanyin looked up at the servants who came back with her and said coldly, "You didn't know that the girl was not in the car. It seems that I am too nice to you!"
words
Then, she said sternly to Aunt Zhang who came out to greet them: "Take these slaves who came back with me away and give them twenty lashes of the cane, and deduct this month's salary!"

The servants who came back with Zhang Lanyin all turned pale. They had neglected the eldest lady on the way, but, but didn't the lady always dislike the eldest lady? Why did she punish them for the eldest lady this time!
Seeing a few maids and servants in the crowd looking resentful, Zhang Lanyin's eyes darkened and she said coldly, "If this happens again, I will sell the people to human traffickers!"

After hearing this, the servants who had been holding on tight became frightened, collapsed to the ground, knelt down and cried for mercy.

Zhao Xueying pouted at them and muttered, "You know how to beg for mercy now, why didn't you do anything else before!"

Looking at the empty carriage, Zhao Xueying couldn't help but scold Zhao Shu: "What's going on? What can a woman like her do in the mountains? Isn't this just courting death?"

Seeing her mother's face becoming even worse after she said this, she asked angrily, "Mom, what should I do now?"

Zhang Lanyin said coldly: "Go back home!"

Zhao Xueying was confused: "Ah?" She waited for a long time but her mother didn't say another word. Seeing someone hurriedly walking into the mansion, she hurriedly followed.

On the hillside behind the summer resort, a slender figure was moving quickly through the woods.

Zhao Shu came to the grave mound, following the smell of blood to the grave mounds where the servants had died earlier. The graves on both sides had all been dug up. She leaned over to look into the grave mounds, only to see that the bodies in the coffins had all been turned over, with their backs facing the sky!

Zhao Shu brought the tinder closer to the coffin. There was a tiny spot of ash on the wall of the coffin. She reached out and wiped it, put her index finger with the ash under her nose and smelled it, then frowned.

Drugs! Who put drugs in the coffin in the past two days? Who put the drugs in the coffin?

This is so weird and full of loopholes!

Xie Jin and his companions came to the mountain in the morning. There was a lot of fog in the mountain in the morning, and the soil was a little wetter than the soil at the foot of the mountain, so there were still shallow footprints on the soil.

Zhao Shu turned back to the entrance of the grave mound, walked along the messy footprints on the ground again, and finally stopped in front of the grave where she had just stood.

The footprints stop at this grave mound, which means this is the last place where Xie Jin and his group stayed, but there is no hole in the ground or anything, so where did they go?

Zhao Shu turned her head and looked fixedly at the only object in the grave - the coffin. She stared at the mahogany coffin for a long while, and finally left the grave calmly.

Zhao Shu did not avoid the summer village anymore. After all, it was not her own property and the owner had left. It would be illogical for her, an outsider, to go back there!

She found an inn at the foot of the mountain and asked for an ordinary room on the second floor.

After entering the house, she immediately opened the window, which faced the road she took when she went down the mountain.

The mountain stood there calmly and eerily. Zhao Shu took her eyes off the mountain after a long while.

Wang Yujin drank the indigo-boiled medicine and took care of herself for a few days. She was almost fully recovered. When she was about to go to her mother's room to pay her respects, her mother came into her room unexpectedly.

Lin Yin pulled Wang Yujin to sit down and carefully examined her daughter's face. Seeing that her face had regained its rosy color, she spoke with confidence, "Do you know that Xie Jin is missing?"

Wang Yujin nodded silently: "I heard about it from the servants."

"Has Xie Jin already known about the incident at the summer resort?" Lin Yin continued.

Wang Yujin's expression froze for a moment, then he nodded: "Yeah."

Hearing her daughter's affirmative answer, Lin Yin's expression became visibly serious: "Does Xie Jin insist on backing out of this marriage?"

Wang Yujin tried to force a smile, but it was in vain: "Yeah."

Lin Yin's expression showed a hint of viciousness: "If that's the case, he shouldn't blame us for being cruel!"

Wang Yujin looked at her: "Mother, what are you going to do?"

Lin Yin patted her daughter's hand soothingly: "Cancel the engagement!"

Wang Yujin was startled, and then he heard his mother continue, "Xie Jin can't take the initiative to withdraw from this marriage, we have to take the initiative to withdraw!"

Wang Yujin's face turned anxious: "Mother, I don't want to."

Lin Yin's face was full of clarity and indifference. She asked sharply, "Is there any room for maneuver in this marriage? Is Xie Jin interested in you? After marrying the girl from the Zhao family in the future, will he still welcome you into the family? "

Wang Yujin tried hard to find some possibility between her and Xie Jin, but the more she looked, the more she realized that there was really no possibility at all!

Looking at her pale daughter, Lin Yin felt pain in her heart, but she had to expose her daughter's fantasy: "Do you know what would happen if Xie Jin brought up the matter of breaking off the engagement first?" She lifted her sleeves to reveal her bruised and purple arm: "There will be another mark on this arm!"

She stared at Wang Yujin: "No, maybe there won't be one more scar on this arm, but there will be one more life!"

Wang Yujin's face flashed with pain, and he struggled, "Maybe father won't be so heartless."

Lin Yin looked at her with a sneer: "After all these years, don't you know what kind of person that beast is!"
