The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

When the Li family's guards heard the noise, they quickly rushed over to protect Yuan Heng. Three or five old women also rushed over and subdued Xie Mingzhi with brute force.

The blood-stained dagger was snatched from her hand. Xie Mingzhi cried out like a trapped beast in desperation, but no one pitied her at this time. They only treated her with ferocity and cruelty as they would their enemies.

She didn't even have a chance to defend herself.

I could only watch Yuan Heng say in front of everyone: "Patriarch Xie likes Miss Li and wants to marry her. I just said a few more words to Miss Li, and Patriarch Xie hates me!

"Today, the head of the Xie family used her niece Xie Mingzhi to trick me into her room and tried to kill me when I was off guard! My poor servant had to suffer at her hands in order to save me!"

Yuan Heng's light-colored gown had been stained with blood, and the knife wound on his arm was even more shocking.

In addition, the servant beside him had fallen in a pool of blood and lost his life.

Everyone believed his words without a doubt.

"Patriarch Xie is so cruel! Young Master Yuan is a royal relative, yet he dares to do that to him!"

"What's even more terrifying is that he actually let Xie Mingzhi, who is still in her teens, do it for him. How could he bear to destroy his own niece?"

"Xie Mingzhi is also very scary. She is only thirteen years old, but she dares to kill people with a knife! What kind of drug did Patriarch Xie give her to make her believe in Patriarch Xie's words?"

"Is it possible that Xie Mingzhi has been abused in the Xie family for many years, and if he doesn't obey the words of the head of the Xie family, he will not be able to survive?"

"Young Master Yuan's aunt is the current queen, and his grandfather is the most powerful tutor under the emperor. How dare the Xie family head murder Young Master Yuan? The Xie family is completely finished now!"

There are many different opinions, and everyone thinks they are telling the truth.

Xie Mingzhi, who was held by the old women, turned pale. It took her a long time to come back to her senses from the extreme shock and fear. She finally found her voice.

"That's not the case at all. Young Master Yuan killed the boy himself. He also cut the wound on his arm. It wasn't me at all. He is framing me!"

Xie Mingzhi shouted at the top of his lungs, almost crying blood.

But her voice was still drowned out by the constant discussions. The people around her did hear it, and as a result, a maid slapped her hard in the face, making her ears buzz.

"You are such a bastard! Your Xie family is nothing but a merchant family. Who is Young Master Yuan? He is the nephew of the Queen and the grandson of the Grand Tutor. He is so noble. Would he kill the servant who has been with him for 10 to 20 years and cut his own arm to frame you? Who are you and your Xie family? Pah!"

Xie Mingzhi was spat at by the old woman.

She stared blankly at the people around her. No one listened to her argument, no one believed her. She felt like she was in an ice cellar, and the wind and frost seemed to come up and freeze her in an instant.

In extreme despair, she saw a familiar person walking towards her. It was a familiar figure and a familiar face. It was her grandmother.

When her grandmother came, Xie Mingzhi felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She wanted to break free from the hands of the old women and throw herself into her grandmother's arms.

But the old women did not let go, and her grandmother did not intend to hug her. Instead, she raised her hand and slapped her with all her strength.

If Xie Mingzhi had not been held down by the old woman, he would have been beaten to the ground.

"You are so bold that you even dare to touch people from Grand Tutor Yuan's family! Is it worth it for that rebellious son? You are dragging our entire Xie Mansion into the fire pit!"

Old Madam Xie hit and pinched her.

Xie Mingzhi felt indescribable despair in her heart. She felt that everything was extremely unfamiliar. Even her grandmother, who had always doted on her, was worse than a stranger.

She couldn't breathe and passed out.

Madam Xie pointed at her and said to Yuan Heng, "She was the one who killed the man, and she was the one who injured Young Master Yuan. From now on, our Xie family will pretend that there is no such girl. Young Master Yuan, please take her away. You can kill her or chop her up. It's up to you. We in the Xie family will never have a single complaint."

Li Yiyue, who had been standing beside Yuan Heng for some time, said, "Didn't Madam Xie understand? The one who wanted to murder Young Master Yuan was not Mingzhi himself, but the Patriarch of the Xie Family. What's the point of just punishing Mingzhi? If the Patriarch of the Xie Family is not severely punished, what should we do if he arranges for someone else to murder Young Master Yuan next time?"

Old Madam Xie was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted. Okay, it would be better to severely punish Xie Lin. Anyway, she had already wanted to replace Xie Lin as the head of the family.

The main reason was that in the past year, Xie Lin had been very disobedient to her. He would beat and punish her dear grandson whenever he wanted, and she had long been harboring resentment.

"That's right, Master Yuan, please send someone to arrest Xie Lin, the rebellious son. He actually dared to instigate Mingzhi to do such an evil thing. He really deserves to be punished. I, an old woman, will never protect him!"

Her righteous look surprised everyone. The old lady of the Xie family was such an upright person that she even refused to protect her youngest son who had been weak and sickly since childhood.

It's really rare.

However, Yuan Heng and others were just glad that the old lady of the Xie family was so "upright" that she directly convicted Xie Mingzhi and Xie Lin.

A sneer played on his lips.

Another group of people he arranged also hurried over to report the situation.

——"Master, something bad has happened. The second young lady of the mansion went to Liudan Pavilion to buy jewelry and was bullied by a man. We have already caught the man and after questioning, we found out that he was actually the second master of the Xie Mansion, Xie Shuang!"

Everyone gasped, thinking that the Xie family was truly daring. The head of the family wanted to murder the grandson of the Grand Tutor, and the second master dared to molest the grandson's wife!

It’s over, the Xie family is dead!

Old Madam Xie suspected that she had heard it wrong and could not help but step forward to ask. The other party told her the situation again. This time, Old Madam Xie was not "upright and incorruptible" and only protected her child.

"Impossible! My second son would never do such a stupid thing. There must be a misunderstanding!"

Yuan Heng had a very good attitude. He did not argue with her and just asked someone to send her home.

Old Madam Xie thought that the situation could be turned around, and she thanked Yuan Heng profusely.

What happened in Li Mansion and Liudan Pavilion had already reached Xie Lin's ears.

Everything was as he expected.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Xie Mansion was like a bowstring that was stretched to the limit and would break at the slightest mistake.

When it was dark, another news came that the matter reached the Queen's ears at the fastest speed. The Queen was furious and said that what Xie Lin, Xie Suo, and Xie Mingzhi did not only show disregard for the Taifu family, but also for her as the Queen. It was obvious that they were trampling on the Queen's dignity and violating the laws of Daqi!

The Queen issued an imperial decree on the spot to arrest the entire Xie family and put them in prison to await their fate.

When the soldiers surrounded Xie's house, Xie Lin looked up at the dark night sky. He had been waiting for this moment for many days.
