After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

Xie Yinyin was completely confused. Her father, who had always doted on her, suddenly changed his attitude!

When she heard that it was because of Su Qingling that he fell down the stairs, she felt a little angry. It was clearly her elder brother who gave the order, so why was he blaming her?

But at this time, Xie Yinyin knew that her father was not trying to find out who was right or wrong, but wanted an explanation that could be justified, so she blurted out:

"Father, this matter has nothing to do with me. It was Qiu Ju who pushed my sister-in-law down!"

Xie Chen sneered:

"You are really good at shirking responsibility. Qiuju is your sister-in-law's personal maid. What reason did she have to push your sister-in-law downstairs?"

Xie Yinyin was about to say a few more words in her defense, but when she saw Xie Chen's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, with signs of lightning and thunder already appearing, she was so scared that she burst into tears and forgot all the words she was going to say!

Liu Diejing was usually kinder to this eldest daughter of a concubine, because her own daughter had already married and had children, and had gone to Biannan to take up a post with her son-in-law. Only this girl came running to her side every day to make her laugh, and she was quite obedient!

Now that she saw that the Marquis was so angry, she knew that things were a bit tricky. Compared with her son, how could a concubine's daughter be compared?

"Girl, you look quite smart, would you really do such a stupid thing? If you don't explain clearly, go to my little Buddhist temple and kneel down!"

Xie Yinyin was anxious. The small Buddhist temple was ostensibly for chanting sutras and praying, but in fact there was a three-foot square quiet room at the back. Her aunt had been spoiled and spoiled, and had been locked up for three days and three nights. When she came out, she was almost crippled, and she had become much more tactful. It was obvious that she had really suffered!

"Mother...Yin'er really didn't reject my sister-in-law. Please don't let Yin'er go to the small Buddhist temple because of her filial piety to you..."

Liu Diejing's face turned cold. Now her son's matter was still hanging in the balance, and now other things had arisen. How could she feel comfortable? There was a chill in her eyes:

"So I, the mistress of the house, am just a decoration. I asked you to explain but you couldn't, and I didn't let you be punished. So, tell me where I put you?"

Xie Yinyin was anxious and said, "Sister-in-law fell down the stairs because of my eldest brother's orders..."

Before she finished speaking, Liu Diejing became furious:

"Shut up! You still dare to bring up your eldest brother after all this. It shows that the child I raised is really not worthy of being on the stage! Mother Wu, have someone take the fourth young lady to the Buddhist temple and make her kneel down. When you realize your mistake, report back to me!"

Mother Wu was Liu Diejing's trusted confidant. Seeing that this concubine's daughter failed to perform at a critical moment, she was even more disdainful of this concubine's daughter. She ordered someone to take Xie Yinyin to kneel in the Buddhist temple. Before leaving, she whispered to Xie Yinyin:

"Fourth Miss, there are different levels of severity between intentionally pushing someone and accidentally bumping into someone. The truth is not important. What's important is not to implicate our Duke's Mansion. You should weigh the severity of the crime yourself!"

Xie Yinyin immediately shut up, her face turned pale and she obediently followed the people to the Buddhist temple!

When Liu Diejing heard that Zhao Tingwei had driven the Marquis out of Changning's mansion because of the scandal in his mansion, she was so angry that she shook and cursed:

"This Zhao Tingwei is really a dog-eyed man who actually took Qiao as an example. He doesn't know that things may change over time. Now that he is in our hands, we will let him see how powerful we are!

Without him, is there no one left to help? Mother Wu, ask someone to find the young master and tell him that we have something to discuss! "

Half an hour later, Xie Xuanping finally arrived. He was extremely angry. Rumors were everywhere, saying all kinds of things. Someone even said that he was tired of his wife and was plotting to take her dowry, so he conspired with his family to kill her!

Although it is true, it can only be done in secret. I don't know who spread these rumors. I just heard that my father was kicked out of the house by Zhao Tingwei. It's really embarrassing!

Second brother, this matter must be resolved quickly, otherwise it will implicate me and my official career may end here!

With a lot of lawsuits in mind, he entered Zhaochun Hall, the place for meetings!

Just as he was about to greet his father, he heard Xie Chen say:

"Alright, no need to go through all that formality. Sit down quickly and think about how to solve your second brother's problem."

Xie Xuanping had been racking his brains all the way, looking for anyone he knew who might have connections with the Wang family. At this moment, an idea suddenly struck him and he thought of someone!

"Yes... Father, I remember someone who was my classmate back then!"

Xie Chen was pleasantly surprised and gestured to continue!

"My classmate is now a fourth-rank junior official. His surname is Li and his courtesy name is Tongfu. He is familiar with the young master of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion. I asked him to help me make the connection. The Wang family relies entirely on the support of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion. As long as we can get the backers, what's there to worry about?"

Xie Zhilan spoke clearly and logically, as if he had already made it 90 percent sure. Liu Diejing hurriedly said:

"My son, go quickly. This matter cannot be delayed any longer!"

Seeing that the eldest son didn't move, he finally reacted and hurriedly called Xie Chen:

"My Lord, this will require money, so give the five thousand taels of silver you brought to Lan'er!"

At this time, Xie Chen didn't dare to delay. He took out the five thousand taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to his eldest son!

After getting the banknote, Xie Xuanping did not delay any longer. He ordered someone to harness the carriage and head straight to Li's Mansion in the east of the city!

Besides, Xie Yinyin was taken to a cramped Buddhist temple room, where there wasn’t even a cushion. Once the door was closed, it was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen!

However, the door was only half closed and there was a maid guarding the door, so even if he wanted to be lazy and sit on the ground, he couldn't do it!

Kneeling there blankly, the cold and hard ground made her feel painful. After a while, Xie Yinyin felt that if she kneeled for three days, her legs would be broken!

He started to think about it in his mind. From what his mother said, he couldn't give Qiu Ju away. As for why, he really couldn't understand. But if he wanted to admit that he was involved, he had to find a good excuse!

There is a lot of meaning in what Mrs. Wu said. She should take the blame herself, but she should put it lightly!

After all, she was not her biological daughter, and her mother didn't care about her life or death at all. If her biological mother, Aunt Xue, hadn't been quite favored by her father, she would have been made a concubine by now!

Xie Yinyin was kneeling here, her mind was very confused. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She hated her stepmother Liu Diejing and her eldest brother. If it weren't for his instructions, how could she have the courage to set a trap to harm her eldest sister-in-law!

Liu Diejing didn't expect that this penalty would actually bring out her enemy!

When Aunt Xue heard that her daughter was punished to go to the Buddhist temple, she was so anxious that she almost jumped up and down. She hurriedly put some powder on her face, put on some bright red lipstick, put on a purple silk jacket, and went to see the Marquis!

Lord Xie heaved a sigh of relief. He was practicing calligraphy in his study when he heard Aunt Xue's sweet voice outside the door:

"Liu Er, I made ginseng chicken soup for the Marquis. Is the Marquis busy now?"

Xie Chen felt relieved. He had been so anxious and irritated these past few days that he could hardly eat. Every time he saw his wife, she only asked about the progress of things and never said a word to show her concern for him!

Liu Er was about to reply when he heard a voice from inside the room:

"Let Aunt Xue come in!"
