The boss of the empire was blown up by me
Chapter 320 Zhan Xijue Still Picked Her Up
Xia Yun recovered from the shock, she took a deep breath, looked at An Xiaoqi who was covering her cheek, and said apologetically, "Sorry, it's my mother's fault."
After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes again. After more than ten seconds of calming down, she opened her eyes and said calmly to An Xiaoqi:
"It seems that Mom can't keep you anymore today. If that's the case, before I change my mind, you can go away with him."
When she said this, Xia Huaishang, who had been watching all this, took out another cigarette with a confused expression.
He held the cigarette in his mouth, but the lighter failed to ignite the cigarette several times.
Afterwards, his whole body was covered by an unknowingly gloomy emotion, but he never had the slightest intention to intervene in the conversation between the three of them.
An Xiaoqi did not expect that Xia Yun would let her go with Zhan Xijue so easily.
She was worried that Xia Yun would bring out the child under Zhan Xijue's anger, but she didn't.
She didn't, which made An Xiaoqi, whose nerves had been tense all the time, heaved a sigh of relief.
After the rest, she was belatedly aware of how intense the residual pain from Xia Yun's slap before her was.
Perhaps because she was too afraid of being exposed about the child, An Xiaoqi had never wanted to escape from here.
Almost as soon as Xia Yun finished speaking, she dragged Zhan Xijue to leave.
But Zhan Xijue didn't leave.
He just patted her on the back naturally, comforting her emotions, even took her whole into his arms, and pressed her head on his heart.
However, he just stood there and had no intention of leaving.
When An Xiaoqi eagerly raised her head and wanted to leave, Zhan Xijue said to Xia Yun one step ahead of her:
"Ms. Xia, what juniors hate most is people who talk half-spoken. Since my father is mentioned, let's just open up and talk.
How did my father provoke you before he was alive, so that you dragged your anger on us juniors? "
"Senior Sister once lost a child for Uncle Zhan..." After a pause, "When she was 18 years old."
It was Xia Huaishang who said this.
Xia Huaishang's words continued, "Is the hatred enough?"
Time seemed to freeze in an instant, everything around became still, and even the sound of wind and snow in my ears stopped.
An Xiaoqi looked up at Xia Yun in disbelief and even in a daze, while Zhan Xijue also looked at her with an indescribably complicated gaze.
Only Xia Huaishang seemed to be an outsider. After the words fell, the conversation suddenly changed, and it was another topic:
"Galen is dead." After a pause, "It doesn't matter how he died. The important thing is that he deserves to die if he touches Xiaoqi."
Speaking of this, Chao Zhan Xijue took two steps, and said again:
"However, before he died, he revealed a secret. For example, the idea of kidnapping Miss Mo and Xiao Qi last time was given to him by your good cousin... Or, for example, you were plotted to escape from Wen Shiyu in a neighboring country It doesn't matter..."
Having said that, he sneered coldly,
"I told you this not to imply your incompetence, but to inform you in advance that Mr. Zhan can make a good coffin for your cousin, that's all."
An Xiaoqi, who had realized what he was talking about, finally broke away from the overwhelming complex emotions, and said to Xia Huaishang rationally and clearly:
"Uncle, I have always opposed you killing your own hands behind the scenes. Since Galen is dead, then Wen Ning will leave it to the legal punishment. Xiao Qi hopes that you will not interfere with this matter. Xiao Qi wants to deal with her personally. .”
Xia Huaishang narrowed his eyes for a while, looked away from her arm still resting on Zhan Xijue's waist, and looked to the side, his voice was rare and mean:
"Your mother was heartbroken and physically hurt by the father of the man in front of you when you were young, if you are sure you want to break her heart and go with him at this time, then go quickly, don't stand here like a rebellious son! "
Xia Huaishang had always raised her up, and it was the first time she was treated so harshly and mercilessly. It was impossible for An Xiaoqi to say that she didn't care or felt uncomfortable.
It is because she cares too much about this character who has accompanied her throughout her growth history and is more important than her mother, so she is even more sad.
Almost as soon as Xia Huaishang finished speaking, her eye circles turned red.
But, it's just red.
An Xiaoqi didn't know how she was hugged and left by Zhan Xijue, and there was an unprecedented silence on the way back to the hotel where she stayed in M State.
And this kind of silence lasted until she was hugged by Zhan Xijue and took a shower in the hotel, until Zhan Xijue couldn't bear it and was forced to stop.
He pinched his waist with one hand, and held a half-burned cigarette in the other hand. He had been staring at her for more than 3 minutes with dim eyes, and she still maintained the initial posture of sitting on the sofa with her knees hugged.
"An Xiaoqi~" he can be said to be quite good-tempered and called her, "How long are you going to sit like this?"
The woman spoke this time, she looked up at him, and said in a soft but obviously indifferent tone, "Zhan Xijue, can you leave me alone for a while?"
"No."
Zhan Xijue stubbed out the cigarette butt, leaned over and picked her up from the sofa:
"No matter how much grievances and grievances there are between your mother and father, they are all entanglements between the previous generation. Why are you so upset?
Or do you feel sorry for that mother who didn't pay much responsibility since you were born and want to abandon your love, and you are already considering breaking up with me? "
"No." An Xiaoqi instinctively denied.
Zhan Xijue hugged her and put her on the bed.
He squatted in front of her, looked at her unattractive face, and said mockingly: "You look like you are going to be cold and violent to me at any time, why don't you say so?"
An Xiaoqi frowned: "...I'm just a bit messy, I want to calm down and adjust myself, how can I be cold and violent to you?"
"It's because of the messy and unreasonable thoughts in your mind that I can't let you be alone.
If you have anything you don't understand, just say it directly, don't be alone in your heart, otherwise you will only get deeper and deeper. "
Zhan Xijue's words are right. When a person is in a low mood, being bored by himself will only make his mood worse.
However, apart from the grievances between Xia Yun and Zhan Wenzhong, what An Xiaoqi was worried about was the existence of Xia Yunlan's child and the fact that she might never have children.
The former, the grievances between Xia Yun and Zhan Wenzhong can only be said to be a superficial blow to her, while the latter two are fatal.
She didn't know how to tell Zhan Xijue——
Without knowing it, her biological mother created a son who was related to her by blood, and this son belonged to her and her uncle.
Speaking out is tantamount to condemning her relationship with a man to death.
"I……"
An Xiaoqi hesitated to speak.
She looked at the obscure and handsome face of the man in front of her, she silently lowered her eyelids, covering the complexities rolling out of her eyes, and fell silent for a moment:
"I just want to think about my mother's position from another perspective. She was probably hurt to the extreme by your father back then, so I can't understand how she opposed us.
It's just that, as a daughter, I failed to appease her emotions when she needed me and instead left with her enemy's son.
How much that is a kind of harm to her, I just can't forgive myself for hurting my mother so much,
I don't have the kind of thinking you said, we just reconciled, how could we break up because of this? "
What she said was sincere, Zhan Xijue was skeptical, "It's just like that?"
An Xiaoqi nodded: "Yes."
"Ms. Xia has a prejudice against me, but this prejudice is not something that cannot be reconciled. As your mother, all she wants is your life to be safe and happy.
If I can make you safe and happy, and make you happy and worry-free, no matter how big her prejudice against me is, she should put it aside. "
Speaking of this, Zhan Xijue paused, with a tone that sounded bewitching,
"You just need to do a good job of loving me, and leave the rest of the messy conflicts to me, understand?"
An Xiaoqi raised her head, as if asking the man in front of her or herself, muttering: "Is it okay?"
The man's voice was cold and filled with uncontrollable annoyance: "Why not?"
An Xiaoqi looked a little sweet to him, she kissed his hard cheek, but the color of her eyes dimmed again in the next second.
She is barren!
This means that if this man chooses to be with her, he will have no descendants.
Ironically, she now has a child with another man.
This man is still extremely disgusting when mentioned by the man in front of him.
"I'm a bit tired and want to sleep."
An Xiaoqi wanted to be quiet, but Zhan Xijue refused to allow her to do so, she could only say that she wanted to sleep, so as to avoid facing him.
In fact, this sentence is useful.
After she finished speaking, Zhan Xijue straightened the quilt for her to lie down.
The case of Zhan Wenting, the second master of the Zhan family, who committed crimes in M State has not been cleared up yet. His main mission here this time is to get Zhan Wenting out. Of course, it is impossible to sleep now.
After covering her with the quilt, he bowed his head and kissed her on the cheek, then turned off the bedside lamp and went out.
The sudden darkness and the silent and lonely environment made An Xiaoqi, who was already depressed, fall into deeper negative emotions.
She has been tormented by the idea of infertility, and also annoyed by that child who can't even see the world clearly but is extremely sensible and innocent. She also feels unprecedented anxiety and pain because of the confusion about the future.
……
**
At the other end, after Zhan Xijue walked out of the bedroom, he called Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng said respectfully, "Galen is indeed dead, and the death was tragic."
When Jiang Cheng received Zhan Xijue's confirmation of Galen's death, he went to investigate it himself.
In fact, it can't be called an investigation. After all, Xia Huaishang didn't deliberately conceal the news of Galen's death.
So, it was easy to find out.
The cause of death was electrocution, which is the kind of electrocution with a low current that can be repeated for four or five hours before death is complete.
Xia Huaishang did not carry out this punishment himself, but Mr. Hall, who was also born in the James family.
Mr. Hall had long wanted to eradicate the remnants of this scourge of the family. He directly used his connections to bribe the bureaucrats in M State, and even tricked Galen into a lot of secrets before executing him.
After Jiang Cheng reported the whole incident, he said:
"Even though Galen committed many crimes and died, it is not a pity to die, but their methods are too cruel. The subordinates feel that it is best not to provoke Hall, who is vicious and cold-blooded, and is very cruel."
Zhan Xijue didn't show any strangeness on his face, and said coldly:
"The James family that Hall belongs to has existed for hundreds of years, and his cousin is the first wife of my master Ji Haozhou.
Speaking of which, the Zhan family and the James family have maintained good trade cooperation over the years, and the possibility of conflict is unlikely.
However, it is imperative to be on guard against others, so you tell the leader responsible for cooperating with the James family to be more careful, so that nothing goes wrong. "
After Jiang Cheng nodded and said yes, he said again:
"Second Lord's case is a bit troublesome. He must have been tricked by someone, and the fairy jumped. The governor's daughter was killed and raped by Second Master. According to the criminal law of M State, Second Master can be sentenced to life imprisonment."
After a pause, the conversation suddenly changed,
"However, my subordinates found out that the governor's wife is a close friend of Ms. Xia's boudoir in M state. The subordinates wondered if it was Ms. Xia's instruction to kill her for so long."
"I can't rule out this possibility." The man's voice was flat, and his fingers tapped his kneecaps rhythmically, "What did the second uncle say when you went to visit the prison?"
Jiang Cheng said, "Second Master killed himself so he didn't touch that woman. In order to prove that he didn't touch that woman, he..."
"What else?"
"He also said that his thing didn't work a few years ago, and there is an official medical certificate."
Zhan Xijue sneered: "Who stipulated that rape and torture must be done by a guy? However, in order to clear his guilt, he admitted that he couldn't do it, which means he is really wronged."
That's why Jiang Cheng found it difficult to handle. She asked, "Because of this, my subordinates don't know what to do."
Zhan Xijue narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said:
"I met Ms. Xia recently, and I saw that woman's haughty despise for the slightest bit of vulgarity in the world. She doesn't look like someone who puts shoes on behind her back, unless my second uncle offended her when he was young, so he took the initiative to teach him a lesson." .”
In fact, Zhan Xijue guessed right.
At this point, the other end.
In the castle where the ancient manor was located, Xia Yun lit a soothing incense, and was about to copy two pages of Buddhist scriptures before going to sleep, when there was a knock on the door of the room.
"Senior Sister, it's me."
She put down the writing brush that had already been glued with ink, and said in a gentle voice, "Come in."
Xia Huaishang came in with a cigarette in his mouth, Xia Yun frowned: "You either finish smoking outside, or you pinch it."
Xia Huaishang smiled apologetically, stubbed out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can, and said straight to the point: "I'm here to bid you farewell."
Xia Yun was surprised: "Now?"
"Galen is dead, and the purpose of my trip is over."
Xia Yun poured him a cup of tea that he had brewed earlier, "Then Xiao Qi...?"
"She was raised by me. I know her well. You can't push her too hard. It's enough to relax. With her temperament, the more we interfere, the more counterproductive it will be.
On the contrary, if she is left by her, she will be unable to escape her own demons.Besides, now is not the time to expose Yunlan's identity. "
Xia Yun felt that Xia Huaishang's analysis was reasonable, nodded, and asked, "Even if you have to leave, you shouldn't leave now? So urgent, what happened in the country?"
Xia Huaishang said, "That old woman wants to move my mother's grave, I have to go back."
The old woman Xia Huaishang was talking about was Mistress Xia.
When Xia Yun heard it, his eyes were filled with disgust:
"I seldom go back to China these years, but I have grown a lot of arrogance from her." As he said that, he smiled at Yan Yan, "In a few days, I will return to China and teach you a lesson for that old brat."
Xia Huaishang smiled lightly: "Farewell, don't get your hands dirty."
"No, Senior Sister's hands are itchy, I just want to use her to practice first."
Xia Huaishang smiled again: "Didn't you already practice with the second master of the Zhan family?"
"Don't mention that scum to me, I wish I could castrate him with my own hands."
Xia Huaishang's lazy tone: "I'm afraid that Xiaoqi might want to ask you because of this matter."
Xia Yun raised her eyebrows: "You mean, Zhan Xijue has already suspected me, and will ask Xiao Qi to ask me to let him go?"
Xia Huaishang nodded:
"Zhan Xiuyuan had three sons and a daughter in his life. Both the eldest son and the eldest daughter died, and now only the second son and the third son suffering from mania are left.
He has always paid attention to his heirs, and it is absolutely impossible for him to watch his second child spend his whole life in prison and ignore it.
Therefore, he can only put pressure on Zhan Xijue to save people. If there is no accident, Zhan Xijue will ask Xiao Qi to beg you. "
Xia Yun didn't think so, she said: "If that kid really talks to Xiao Qi and asks her to beg me, then he really doesn't deserve my daughter."
Xia Huaishang was noncommittal!
……
In fact, after Zhan Xijue guessed that Zhan Wenting was framed by Xia Yun, he gave up the idea of trying to get him out.
Jiang Cheng was very puzzled, and asked, "Boss, you clearly know that the second master was wronged, how can you still...?"
Zhan Xijue said: "I won't fish it now, I didn't say I won't fish it in the future. Lock him up and let him suffer a bit."
Paused, "The top priority is to implement Xia Yun's motives for doing this, and continue to track down the grievances and grievances between Xia Yun and my father's generation."
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles.
Zhan Xijue worked so hard to investigate what happened back then, not only to understand Xia Yun's past, but more importantly, he wanted to get clues from Xia Yun who planned his parents' car accident back then.
After all the men said that, Jiang Cheng could only nod his head and said, "Yes." However, he still hesitated, "I'm afraid that the Patriarch will not be able to explain it to you."
Zhan Xijue's head hurts thinking of Zhan Xiuyuan.
He narrowed his eyes and thought for a while:
"His old illness has recurred in the past six months, so he really shouldn't be too stimulated. However, he doesn't have the time to take care of the second uncle right now. The third uncle's marriage is enough for him to have a headache."
Jiang Cheng groaned and backed away.
After Jiang Cheng left, Zhan Xijue took a hot shower and returned to the master bedroom, An Xiaoqi was having that dream that he hadn't had for a long time.
It was the scene in her last life when she was trapped in a sea of fire on a coral island and died at the place where she was buried.
This time, she was completely on the sidelines, watching herself being engulfed and carbonized by the fire, and what happened to her behind her.
There is no particularly sober empathy for the pain, but indifference and some problems that bother her.
Why did Zhan Xijue set up a tombstone for her after her death in the name of her husband.
Why, next to her tombstone was buried a minor without a surname, and the person who erected the monument was still Zhan Xijue, and the owner of the tomb only had the word Lan'er.
Why did Wen Shiyu shoot himself in front of her grave a few months after her burial!
……
Why, they all ended up dead.
Her tomb was buried next to Xia Huaishang, next to her was a minor named Lan'er, and next to Lan'er was her mother Xia Yun...
Obviously, she remembered very clearly that before she was burned to death, her mother had already remarried at that time. She should be very happy to marry Xiou, how could she also die?
why?
She was so entangled in the dream that it manifested itself in the real world. She scratched her head in pain and kept saying why.
Zhan Xijue called her many times but failed to wake her up, he had to shake her body vigorously to force her out of the nightmare.
Drenched in sweat, my hair was soaked.
Her eyes were red, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes that fell unconsciously.
Looking at the extremely handsome face of the man in front of her, she had an unreal illusion, she said in a daze: "I had a bad dream."
Zhan Xijue frowned deeply, the bottom of his eyes were deep black and thick with no end in sight, and his voice was hoarse because of suppressing a certain emotion;
"What kind of dream makes you so miserable?"
After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes again. After more than ten seconds of calming down, she opened her eyes and said calmly to An Xiaoqi:
"It seems that Mom can't keep you anymore today. If that's the case, before I change my mind, you can go away with him."
When she said this, Xia Huaishang, who had been watching all this, took out another cigarette with a confused expression.
He held the cigarette in his mouth, but the lighter failed to ignite the cigarette several times.
Afterwards, his whole body was covered by an unknowingly gloomy emotion, but he never had the slightest intention to intervene in the conversation between the three of them.
An Xiaoqi did not expect that Xia Yun would let her go with Zhan Xijue so easily.
She was worried that Xia Yun would bring out the child under Zhan Xijue's anger, but she didn't.
She didn't, which made An Xiaoqi, whose nerves had been tense all the time, heaved a sigh of relief.
After the rest, she was belatedly aware of how intense the residual pain from Xia Yun's slap before her was.
Perhaps because she was too afraid of being exposed about the child, An Xiaoqi had never wanted to escape from here.
Almost as soon as Xia Yun finished speaking, she dragged Zhan Xijue to leave.

"No."

At the other end, after Zhan Xijue walked out of the bedroom, he called Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng said respectfully, "Galen is indeed dead, and the death was tragic."

Zhan Xijue narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said:
"I met Ms. Xia recently, and I saw that woman's haughty despise for the slightest bit of vulgarity in the world. She doesn't look like someone who puts shoes on behind her back, unless my second uncle offended her when he was young, so he took the initiative to teach him a lesson." .”
In fact, Zhan Xijue guessed right.
At this point, the other end.
In the castle where the ancient manor was located, Xia Yun lit a soothing incense, and was about to copy two pages of Buddhist scriptures before going to sleep, when there was a knock on the door of the room.
"Senior Sister, it's me."
She put down the writing brush that had already been glued with ink, and said in a gentle voice, "Come in."
Xia Huaishang came in with a cigarette in his mouth, Xia Yun frowned: "You either finish smoking outside, or you pinch it."
Xia Huaishang smiled apologetically, stubbed out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can, and said straight to the point: "I'm here to bid you farewell."
Xia Yun was surprised: "Now?"
"Galen is dead, and the purpose of my trip is over."
Xia Yun poured him a cup of tea that he had brewed earlier, "Then Xiao Qi...?"
"She was raised by me. I know her well. You can't push her too hard. It's enough to relax. With her temperament, the more we interfere, the more counterproductive it will be.
On the contrary, if she is left by her, she will be unable to escape her own demons.Besides, now is not the time to expose Yunlan's identity. "
Xia Yun felt that Xia Huaishang's analysis was reasonable, nodded, and asked, "Even if you have to leave, you shouldn't leave now? So urgent, what happened in the country?"
Xia Huaishang said, "That old woman wants to move my mother's grave, I have to go back."
The old woman Xia Huaishang was talking about was Mistress Xia.
When Xia Yun heard it, his eyes were filled with disgust:
"I seldom go back to China these years, but I have grown a lot of arrogance from her." As he said that, he smiled at Yan Yan, "In a few days, I will return to China and teach you a lesson for that old brat."
Xia Huaishang smiled lightly: "Farewell, don't get your hands dirty."
"No, Senior Sister's hands are itchy, I just want to use her to practice first."
Xia Huaishang smiled again: "Didn't you already practice with the second master of the Zhan family?"
"Don't mention that scum to me, I wish I could castrate him with my own hands."
Xia Huaishang's lazy tone: "I'm afraid that Xiaoqi might want to ask you because of this matter."
Xia Yun raised her eyebrows: "You mean, Zhan Xijue has already suspected me, and will ask Xiao Qi to ask me to let him go?"
Xia Huaishang nodded:
"Zhan Xiuyuan had three sons and a daughter in his life. Both the eldest son and the eldest daughter died, and now only the second son and the third son suffering from mania are left.
He has always paid attention to his heirs, and it is absolutely impossible for him to watch his second child spend his whole life in prison and ignore it.
Therefore, he can only put pressure on Zhan Xijue to save people. If there is no accident, Zhan Xijue will ask Xiao Qi to beg you. "
Xia Yun didn't think so, she said: "If that kid really talks to Xiao Qi and asks her to beg me, then he really doesn't deserve my daughter."
Xia Huaishang was noncommittal!
……
In fact, after Zhan Xijue guessed that Zhan Wenting was framed by Xia Yun, he gave up the idea of trying to get him out.
Jiang Cheng was very puzzled, and asked, "Boss, you clearly know that the second master was wronged, how can you still...?"
Zhan Xijue said: "I won't fish it now, I didn't say I won't fish it in the future. Lock him up and let him suffer a bit."
Paused, "The top priority is to implement Xia Yun's motives for doing this, and continue to track down the grievances and grievances between Xia Yun and my father's generation."
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles.
Zhan Xijue worked so hard to investigate what happened back then, not only to understand Xia Yun's past, but more importantly, he wanted to get clues from Xia Yun who planned his parents' car accident back then.
After all the men said that, Jiang Cheng could only nod his head and said, "Yes." However, he still hesitated, "I'm afraid that the Patriarch will not be able to explain it to you."
Zhan Xijue's head hurts thinking of Zhan Xiuyuan.
He narrowed his eyes and thought for a while:
"His old illness has recurred in the past six months, so he really shouldn't be too stimulated. However, he doesn't have the time to take care of the second uncle right now. The third uncle's marriage is enough for him to have a headache."
Jiang Cheng groaned and backed away.
After Jiang Cheng left, Zhan Xijue took a hot shower and returned to the master bedroom, An Xiaoqi was having that dream that he hadn't had for a long time.
It was the scene in her last life when she was trapped in a sea of fire on a coral island and died at the place where she was buried.
This time, she was completely on the sidelines, watching herself being engulfed and carbonized by the fire, and what happened to her behind her.
There is no particularly sober empathy for the pain, but indifference and some problems that bother her.
Why did Zhan Xijue set up a tombstone for her after her death in the name of her husband.
Why, next to her tombstone was buried a minor without a surname, and the person who erected the monument was still Zhan Xijue, and the owner of the tomb only had the word Lan'er.
Why did Wen Shiyu shoot himself in front of her grave a few months after her burial!
……
Why, they all ended up dead.
Her tomb was buried next to Xia Huaishang, next to her was a minor named Lan'er, and next to Lan'er was her mother Xia Yun...
Obviously, she remembered very clearly that before she was burned to death, her mother had already remarried at that time. She should be very happy to marry Xiou, how could she also die?
why?
She was so entangled in the dream that it manifested itself in the real world. She scratched her head in pain and kept saying why.
Zhan Xijue called her many times but failed to wake her up, he had to shake her body vigorously to force her out of the nightmare.
Drenched in sweat, my hair was soaked.
Her eyes were red, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes that fell unconsciously.
Looking at the extremely handsome face of the man in front of her, she had an unreal illusion, she said in a daze: "I had a bad dream."
Zhan Xijue frowned deeply, the bottom of his eyes were deep black and thick with no end in sight, and his voice was hoarse because of suppressing a certain emotion;
"What kind of dream makes you so miserable?"
