The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

Xie Lingxi listened to her elder brother and father's retelling, but she did not feel relieved. After her father and elder brother finished speaking, Xie Lingxi took a deep breath and spoke seriously.

"Father, brother, I think the Mu family may not be so honest. It is not so easy to bring down the Mu family. The Mu family has deep roots in the capital. Even if the Mu family pleads guilty, the vines entwined around the big tree of the Meng family may not agree. Father, brother, we have to be on guard."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Lord Xie and Xie Zhibai changed.

Lord Xie frowned and asked, "Lingxi, do you mean that the Mu family will rebel?"

Xie Lingxi didn't say anything, but her silence already represented her attitude.

The smile on Xie Zhibai's face also faded. After calming down and thinking for a moment, Xie Zhibai spoke.

"I think what Lingxi said makes sense. The Mu family has deep roots in the capital. If this big ship capsizes, even if the big ship accepts its fate, the people on this ship will try their best to save themselves. We have to help. If this is the case, we really have to be vigilant. How about this, I will quickly send a letter to Prince Chen to come back."

Xie Lingxi did not object to her elder brother's proposal and was very supportive.

Mrs. Xie, who had been silent, couldn't help but speak.

"Lingxi, is there anything I can help you with?"

Mrs. Xie also realized that the situation was not good, but she did not understand state affairs and could not do anything.

Xie Lingxi also knew that her mother wanted to help, and after thinking about it, she smiled.

"Mom, you can really help me in some way. Next, we will be busy preparing for the Mu family's desperate situation, so I may not be able to take care of my aunt. Mom, if you are free, please help me look after my aunt and help take care of her and her child."

Mrs. Xie had something to do and immediately started laughing.

"Okay, leave this to me. I see your aunt is about to give birth, so she really needs to be taken care of."

When something like this happened to the Mu family, all parties reacted.

That night, Panshi suddenly appeared in Xie Lingxi's yard. He came from the back door.

Xie Lingxi was not surprised to see Panshi.

Panshi said respectfully to Xie Lingxi: "Miss Xie Lingxi, our prince wants to see you. He has something important to tell you."

Xie Lingxi frowned and asked, "Now?"

Panshi nodded, and Xie Lingxi stood up, with some guesses in mind.

She called a maid over and asked her to tell her brother that she had to go out for something, and to say that Panshi came to pick her up and there was no need to worry. Then she took Qiao'er and followed Panshi away.

Qiao'er was a little nervous, but she had met the Fifth Prince last time, so this time it was okay.

Xie Lingxi went out of the back door of the Marquis' Mansion and got directly into the carriage prepared by Panshi. The carriage went out of the city without stopping.

Outside the city, in a remote little farmhouse, Xie Lingxi got off the carriage and saw the fifth prince.

The fifth prince was standing in the yard of the farmhouse, still with that otherworldly temperament, seemingly out of place with the environment.

Xie Lingxi didn't say anything and followed him. After going around the short fence, Xie Lingxi could see the situation in the yard clearly.

?It turned out that there was not only the Fifth Prince alone, there were several guards standing not far away. Xie Lingxi felt that there should be some hidden places as well.

Two people were kneeling in front of the Fifth Prince. They were Xiao Yu'an and Feng Xiaoniang, who were tied up.

Sure enough, I guessed it right.

The fifth prince's hands are really quick.

He had just finished watching the Third Prince's performance in the court, and then took advantage of the panic in the capital to arrest the two key witnesses, Xiao Yu'an and Feng Xiaoniang.

However, now is indeed a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Xie Lingxi stepped forward and saluted.

"Your Highness."

"Did you see them all?"

Xie Lingxi nodded, and then listened to what the fifth prince said.

"I've been waiting for you to come over for interrogation. Now that you're here, let's get started."

Xiao Yu'an's face changed when he saw Xie Lingxi. Feng Xiaoniang also knew Xie Lingxi and felt complicated when she saw Xie Lingxi.

Panshi stepped forward and pulled the cloth out of the two people's mouths, and Feng Xiaoniang spoke first.

"Ms. Lingxi, what's going on? You can't arrest us just because you have a grudge against your sisters. I admit that my son did lose some sense of propriety. I apologize to you on his behalf. He didn't mean it. He is just a child."

Mrs. Feng is indeed a capable person who has been able to deal with Madam Xiao for so many years. Look at her flexible attitude.

Xiao Yu'an lived up to his mother's character and quickly apologized.

"Ms. Xie, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those words to your brother. It's my fault. I didn't think carefully before. Can you let us go?"

Xie Lingxi sneered condescendingly.

"It is not me who invited you here today. It is His Highness the Fifth Prince who invited you here. I advise you to tell the truth about what you know, so as to avoid physical pain."

After Xie Lingxi finished speaking, she walked a few steps on her own and sat down on a chair not far away.

Anyway, it’s not a formal occasion, so there’s no need to be polite with the Fifth Prince.

The Fifth Prince really had no objection, so he went over and sat down, then let Panshi begin the interrogation.

Panshi didn't hold back either. He walked up to Xiao Yu'an, grabbed his hair and slapped him twice.

Panshi was skilled in martial arts, and he had some internal strength in his hands. With two slaps, two of Xiao Yu'an's teeth were knocked out. With his mouth full of blood, he vomited on the ground.

But as scary as it looks, it's just a flesh wound.

Of course, the rock also has the ability to turn this flesh wound into internal injury.

Feng Xiaoniang stared.

"What are you doing! Let my son go!"

Panshi did let Xiao Yu'an go, and then asked, "Didn't you give out a prescription many years ago? A prescription for nourishing the fetus, which could allow the child to continuously absorb nutrients and grow in the mother's body, and eventually cause the mother to have a difficult delivery."

Feng Xiaoniang's pupils shrank immediately, and she glanced at the Fifth Prince subconsciously, then immediately looked away guiltily, her eyes flickering.

"I, I don't know what you are talking about. I don't understand."

Feng Xiaoniang was guilty as a thief and she figured out something almost immediately. Lipin's affairs were not a secret at all. Although Feng Xiaoniang was just a girl from the Xiao family, she had heard about it.

She knew at that time who her prescription was used on, but so many years had passed and Feng Xiaoniang really didn't expect it to be dug up.

Panshi didn't care about Feng Xiaoniang's reaction. It didn't matter if she didn't tell the truth. Isn't it said that mother and child are connected by heart? When a child is hit, the mother feels pain. Panshi squatted down, grabbed Xiao Yu'an's collar again, and slapped him twice.

When Feng Xiaoniang heard this, she felt really upset, but she couldn't say anything. If she said it, she would die. So Feng Xiaoniang bit her lips tightly and didn't say a word.

Panshi let go of Xiao Yu'an, who was a little dazed after being beaten, and before Feng Xiaoniang could breathe a sigh of relief, he turned around and picked up a bucket.

He completely immersed a long whip in the bucket, then swung the whip in the air, and it hit the ground with a crackling sound, leaving a whip mark on the ground immediately.

Panshi just glanced at Feng Xiaoniang indifferently and said.

"As the old saying goes, a gentleman uses words rather than fists. Miss Feng, you are a woman, so it is not convenient for me to lay hands on you, but I can lay hands on your son. Today I want to see if it is true that when a son is beaten, the mother feels the pain."

After saying that, he raised the whip and hit Xiao Yu'an hard.
