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

"Thank you, son."

Rong Jingchen nodded slightly and made a gesture of invitation to him.

He looked calm and elegant, showing no sign of fatigue from traveling for three days and three nights without sleep.

If Xie Zhibai had not clearly seen the bruise under his eye, he would have been deceived by his nonchalant attitude.

Xie Zhibai stepped onto the carriage, and sensing his weak breath, he frowned and asked, "When did His Highness arrive?"

Rong Jingchen lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Just when you walked in."

Hearing the murderous intent in his words, Xie Zhibai understood his thoughts and immediately spoke:

"As for the matter of the Xiao family bullying Lingxi, I, as her brother, will seek justice for her. You don't need to intervene."

Others may not know, but as Rong Jingchen's good friend, Xie Zhibai knows Rong Jingchen's situation very well.

Rong Jingchen was honored as King Chen and was respected and admired by the people of the Great Chu State and the ministers in the court.

In addition to his outstanding military achievements, he was regarded as the god of war of the Chu State.

Such an honorable man with military power in one person, even if he was the biological son of the Emperor of Great Chu, would arouse the suspicion of the Emperor.

It was precisely because of this that after Rong Jingchen came to power, the Xie family father and son deliberately kept a distance from him in public to avoid arousing the suspicion of the Emperor of Great Chu.

Xie Zhibai was not unaware of Rong Jingchen's feelings for Xie Lingxi.

But he knew very well that Xie Lingxi must not marry Rong Jingchen, otherwise, the Changping Marquisate would be labeled as siding with Prince Chen.

Given the suspicion of the Emperor of Great Chu, the Marquis of Changping's Mansion would definitely face a devastating disaster by then.

Rong Jingchen was also very clear about this, so after learning that the Xie family was interested in forming an alliance with the Xiao family, he volunteered to go to the border to guard the frontier.

So as to avoid doing something irreparable under impulse.

He could disregard his own identity and even his life, but he could not let the Xie family be implicated by him.

However, after learning the date of Xie Lingxi's wedding, he still rushed to the door of the Xiao family for three days and three nights without hesitation.

Even if he couldn't marry Xie Lingxi, he would still watch her get married with his own eyes.

But what he didn't expect was that the people of the Xiao family actually dared to bully Xie Lingxi like this.

That was the woman he held in his hands so tightly that he was afraid she would drop!

Thinking of the red eyes of his beloved woman just now, Rong Jingchen's eyes were filled with bone-chilling coldness, and he did not answer Xie Zhibai's words.

Instead, he asked, "How are you going to deal with Xiao Yusheng?"

Xie Zhibai paused while drinking his tea and looked up at him: "Your Highness, do you have any ideas?"

"Since he wants to be a paraplegic, why not fulfill his wish!" Rong Jingchen curled his lips, with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

If Xiao Yusheng wasn't killed at this time, it would be bad for Xie Lingxi...

Xie Zhibai naturally thought of what Rong Jingchen could think of, and nodded immediately, saying, "I'll have someone arrange it!"

"No need!"

Rong Jingchen shook his head: "At this time, if the Xie family takes action, it will be easy for others to catch them. Moreover, the marriage between your two families was arranged by the emperor. If your actions are known to the emperor, the entire Changping Marquis Mansion will be in danger of deceiving the emperor."

Xie Zhibai looked at him intently and said, "In that case, I'll leave this matter to Your Highness!"

After saying this, he bowed and said goodbye. Since Rong Jingchen was responsible for Xiao Yusheng's fate, he would make all his efforts to prepare for an attack on the Xiao father and son at the court tomorrow morning!

After seeing Xie Zhibai walking away, Rong Jingchen couldn't help but cough lightly and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Highness!"

Si Jian, who was driving the carriage, was very anxious.

This return trip to the capital was too hasty, and His Highness needed to act in absolute secrecy.

So I only brought him along.

But what he didn't expect was that he encountered no less than ten assassination attempts along the way.

His Highness was in a hurry to return to the capital and had no time to worry about too many things, so he didn't take good care of his injuries.

"It's okay, leave first!"

Rong Jingchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth calmly and gave instructions in a low voice.

Si Jian agreed and drove away in his carriage immediately.

The ordinary carriage, just as it had been when it arrived, did not attract anyone's attention.

……

In the Changping Hou Mansion.

By the time Xie Lingxi finished washing up, changed out of her bridal attire and returned to the flower hall, Xie Zhibai had already returned.

After seeing Xie Lingxi, he asked with concern: "Lingxi, why don't you rest in your room? Are you worried about the Xiao family? Don't worry, my father and I will take care of the Xiao family's affairs, just be at ease."

Xie Lingxi listened to her elder brother's gentle and doting words and looked at her parents' concerned eyes, and her eyes could not help but turn red again.

In her previous life, it was because of that beast Xiao Yusheng that her parents and elder brother were killed.

Fortunately, she was able to live her life over again, and she would never let this tragedy happen again.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, I have something to tell you."

"Lingxi, tell me, no matter what happens, as long as our family works together, there is nothing we can't overcome."

When Changping Hou Xie Yunchuan saw that his daughter looked grief-stricken yet relieved, his heart sank and he signaled for the servants to leave.

"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, just last night, I had a dream. It's possible that this wasn't a dream, but a warning from God..."

Xie Lingxi pondered for a moment, then slowly opened her mouth and told him everything that had happened in her previous life.

After hearing Xie Lingxi's account of what happened in her previous life, Lady Changping Hou's eyes were already red from crying.

Xie Yunchuan and Xie Zhibai also had bloodshot eyes.

They never imagined that Xie Lingxi, whom they held in their hands, would live such a life after marrying Xiao Yusheng.

She thought she had endured the pain of bleeding for five years in order to save her husband, but in the end, she had saved Xiao Yusheng's son from another wife.

In fact, in the end, the Changping Marquis Mansion was destroyed because of Xiao Yusheng's family.

"My Lord, the people of the Xiao family are really too bullying. We can't let them go just like that!"

The wife of Marquis Changping was so angry that she was shaking all over. She simply couldn't imagine how painful it would be for her daughter, whom she didn't even want to let practice martial arts, to be bled for five years by Xiao Yusheng.

In fact, during these five years, his daughter not only had to endure physical pain, but also had to be tortured, insulted and bullied by the Cheng'en Marquis and his wife because of the reputation of being a husband-killer.

How dare they?

"Even if Madam doesn't tell me, I will never let them go!"

Xie Yunchuan slammed the table heavily, and veins bulged on his forehead.

If he hadn't had that last bit of rationality left in him, he would have rushed straight to Marquis Cheng'en's mansion with a spear in his hand.

“Not only the Xiao family, but also Xie Ruyu!”

Xie Zhibai spoke in a deep voice, his eyes looking straight at Changping Hou, and said, "Normally, Second Uncle and his men take advantage of us and ask for money, which is fine, but since they dare to bully Lingxi, I will never allow it!"
