Black Lotus Concubine's Case-solving Notes

"From now on, you are still the legitimate son of the Xie family, enjoying wealth and honor, and your father will no longer focus on your studies," Xie Qian's voice was flat, without any emotion, which was very different from his usual image of a strict father. "Just don't cause trouble for me, don't affect your two brothers, and don't even think about taking the martial arts exam!"

It was Xie Siyan's dream to have his father stop disciplining him, but when it actually happened, he felt a little panicked.

He dragged his legs to Xie Qian and said, "Just because of Xiao Jun, just because I killed him! Does my father hate me?"

Xie Qian's face darkened: "Do you know who you killed?"

"He is the Crown Prince's man! He is also the spy planted by the Eastern Palace in our Prime Minister's Mansion! If you kill him now, it will be a clear sign of going against the Crown Prince! It's not that your father hates you! It's that your father can't save you!"

After saying this, she flicked her sleeves and left angrily.

"How is it possible? How could he be the prince's man..."

Xie Siyan's eyes were filled with horror: "Mother, what should I do! I killed the people from the Prince's Mansion! But it was clearly said that Xiao Jun was my father's illegitimate son! I was so angry that I killed him! Why would he be from the Prince's Mansion!"

"No!" Xie Siyan got up, "I'm going to find those servants! I want to find out who spread the rumors! Who wants to harm me!"

After saying that, he was about to rush out.

"Stop!" shouted a loud voice.

Mrs. Meng was still smarter than her son. She said, "You won't find anything if you investigate now. That person deliberately set a trap for you to fall into. How could he leave any evidence behind?"

Xie Siyan finally reacted: "Xie Lanzhao! It must be her! Mother! It was that bitch Xie Lanzhao who harmed me!"

"She caused me to lose an arm! She also spread rumors and asked me to kill Xiao Jun! And thus made me lose my father's favor! It was that bitch! I killed her!"

"What reason do you have to kill her, Yan'er? Calm down! Now is not the time to kill her!" Meng clenched her fist fiercely, "It will be soon. When the time comes, we will settle all the old and new grudges together. Mother will make her live a life worse than death!"

Xie Siyan's face lit up: "Mother, have you come up with another clever idea?"

There was overwhelming hatred in Meng's eyes: "Just wait and see, Yan'er, Xie Lanzhao will definitely not be able to escape this time!"

……

In the third courtyard, Xie Changrong was combing her hair, and the maid Chunmei was standing behind her putting on makeup for her.

"Why are your hands shaking? Are you afraid that I will eat you?" Xie Changrong suddenly laughed like crazy.

Chunmei felt that the smile was too creepy and she couldn't help but shiver.

Ever since the Tenth Aunt came back from outside the city, her personality has become even weirder than before. Not only does she often stare out the window in a daze, but she also takes a bath more than ten times a day. While taking a bath, she cries and laughs, which scares them to death.

He became more and more moody. He would be talking and laughing just now, but the next second his expression would turn into resentment, and he would beat the maid who was serving him.

Chunmei secretly thought that there must be something wrong with the Tenth Lady's brain.

She is now trying her best to ask the eldest lady to transfer her to another room to serve, otherwise, following such a master, she will either be beaten to death or driven crazy!

Just as I was thinking about it, the maid outside the house called out, "The Ninth Miss is here."

Xie Changrong looked outside and saw a woman in green walking in. She seemed to have grown taller in the past few months, and her figure became more slender, but her pair of clear black and white almond eyes did not change at all, and she was still as annoying as ever!

Xie Changrong sarcastically asked, "How come you have time to come to my courtyard?"

Feng Jia smiled and said, "We are sisters. Isn't it normal for me to come and visit you more often?"

Xie Changrong looked at her coldly but said nothing.

She remembered that ten days ago, she escaped from the beggars' den and returned to Xie's house pretending to be calm. When she finally returned to her room, she knelt in front of her father and mother and burst into tears.

All the grievances and humiliations of the past few days were released at this moment.

She cried and told her father how the princess abused her, but her father told her that they could not defeat the princess and they had to swallow any grievances.

She told her mother that she was thrown into a beggar's den by the people in the princess's mansion. Those smelly beggars abused her body one after another. It took her three whole days to escape. But her mother told her to forget it and blamed herself for her bad luck.

She was extremely angry at the time, but also found it extremely ridiculous.

She argued with her parents and said she wanted to report to the police, but her father waved his sleeves and said that if she dared to go, he would strangle her to death with a rope.

Call her a disgrace!

But it was clearly the princess's fault! It was clearly the eldest lady who framed Xie Lanzhao and she was framed! It was clearly their fault! Why did she have no choice but to die!

She is not reconciled!

Finally, at that moment, she saw clearly the true face of the Xie family! They kept saying that they were doing it for her own good, but they were just trying to save their own face. They were selfish and hypocritical, using lies to cover up the truth, trying to sacrifice her in exchange for the peace of the Xie family.

But why!

She will no longer trust anyone, including her parents. Similarly, she will not let anyone in the Xie family have an easy life!

"There's no one else here, Xie Lanzhao, why are you still pretending in front of me?" Xie Changrong narrowed her eyes slightly.

Feng Jia frowned: "What does Tenth Sister mean?"

"I heard from Chunmei that you were the one who brought the lunch box that day, so the things inside are naturally yours too. Why are you pretending?"

Feng Jia shook her head: "Tenth sister, I really don't know what you are talking about. I am here just to visit you today. If you don't welcome me, I will leave."

After saying that, Feng Jia stood up. Just as she was about to go out, she suddenly felt something was wrong and looked back.

Xie Changrong was sitting in the shadow, looking at her leisurely.

Feng Jia turned her head away, her brows tightly knitted together, which did not relax until she returned to the apricot garden.

She originally wanted to use the excuse of visiting Xie Changrong to see if she could get some information out of her, but this Tenth Lady seemed to have changed her personality after returning from outside. She became eerie and weird, and also smarter.

It seemed that no information could be obtained today, so she made an excuse to leave. However, Xie Changrong's last look left her with lingering fears.

Feng Jia's heart was pounding. She called Cui Chai over and asked, "Has there been any movement in the first room these days?"

Cui Chai reported truthfully, "There is nothing special. Since Xiao Jun was killed, the Sixth Young Master has not left the house. The Master is still very busy with the drought in Yangcheng and often comes back in the middle of the night. When he comes back, he only stays in the study. As for the Madam, she recites scriptures and chants Buddha in the ancestral hall every day. There is nothing unusual."

Feng Jia nodded, but her heart started to panic for no reason. It seemed like something big was about to happen.
