Chapter 210 Anger rushed to the crown
In Jiang'an Hou Mansion, the concierge is sitting in the room and drinking tea leisurely.

Nowadays, there are many more people coming and going in the Hou's mansion than before, even with him as the concierge, there are a lot of extra rewards for being upright, and the days are gradually looking forward to more.

After drinking for a while, he stood up, walked around the door with his hands behind his back, and suddenly saw a woman in coarse clothes rushing towards the door of his mansion as if mad.

His complexion changed, and he shouted sharply: "Where did you come from, this crazy woman! This is the residence of the Marquis of Jiang'an, you must not trespass!"

Two guards also held eyebrow-level sticks and stopped him.

The woman who thought she was a crazy woman shouted, "I want to see Mr. Xia!"

If it was usual, the concierge would not believe such words, and just beat them out with a stick. But after Feng Xiuyun came out of the palace, according to the wishes of Concubine De and Xia Jingyun, he carried out a thorough rectification of the Hou Mansion, eliminated a large group of people, and issued an explicit order to the rest.

The concierge looked at the woman's attire and hesitated seriously.

In the end, under the requirements of the rules, two guards personally led her into the gate of the mansion.

When Gongsun Jing saw the person in front of him, he almost drove him out, but the word Fengheguan he heard from the other party made him make the right decision.

When she was brought in front of Xia Jingyun, the sad woman in coarse clothes with disheveled hair suddenly knelt down, as if all kinds of emotions wanted to burst out from her ungrown body, but in the end she only heard a deep voice, "Master Xia, sister."

As soon as she started, the Ningbing maid broke down in sobs.

Now that they have decided to redeem themselves for good, the master and servant no longer want to use this title.

At that time, Ning Bing changed out of her fine clothes and wore coarse clothes, with longing for the future all over her face, she smiled and held the maid's hand, "Ying'er, from now on we will not be masters and servants, but sisters, let's let this young lady stay here, you call me sister, I call you sister, okay?"

The smile is still in my ears, but the Dansi people have already died.

Fortunately, she also knew that this moment was not the time to be sad, so she took a deep breath and collected herself, "Master Xia, sister is dead."

Xia Jingyun's originally smiling and peaceful face froze suddenly, "What?"

The maid wiped the tears that came out of her face again, "This afternoon, the news that my sister wanted to redeem her body was somehow known by the master, but because of the relationship between Mr. Xia and the Hou Mansion, the master didn't make it difficult for us. My sister handed over all the money and got back the deed, ready to leave."

Her face showed deep regret and grief, "Someone came to the building and asked my sister to accompany him for a night, but my sister had already redeemed her body, so she refused the other party. However, in order to force my sister to agree, the other party threatened him with Mr. Xia. My sister didn't dare to disobey, but she didn't want to go back, so she jumped off the building."

Xia Jingyun raised his head, closed his eyes, and pictures appeared in his mind.

It was the timid and humble woman in white who had cold eyes when I first met last night;
It was the brothel oiran who subconsciously exuded all kinds of charm when she got on the carriage;
It is also the poor girl whose heart was pierced under her own words and burst into tears;
It was the white flower that suddenly woke up, knelt down to thank her under the dim lights, and regained her new life.

"Before jumping down from the top of the building, my sister asked me to tell my son that she didn't despise herself, and she never wasted your tolerance and persuasion."

Xia Jingyun couldn't help but feel his nose suddenly sore.

She has clearly found her pursuit in life;
She has clearly completed the redemption of her life;
She is obviously about to climb out of the sea of ​​suffering and walk towards her new life;

Why, at this time, all hopes were interrupted, and she was buried before dawn.

At that time, she must have been full of despair and unwillingness in her heart, right?

But even so, she still did not choose to compromise.

At that moment, she was purer than many people in this world.

He raised his head, tried his best not to let his tears fall, and said in a thick nasal voice, "Who is the other party?"

The servant girl hesitated and said: "Master Xia, my sister didn't want this to hurt you, so she had no other choice, so she committed suicide. The maidservant came here just to convey the words of sister, and she had no intention of instigating the young master to avenge sister. Now that the wish is fulfilled, the maidservant should also leave."

After that, he stood up and said goodbye.

"Wait a moment."

Xia Jingyun stopped her, "Where are you going?"

The maid was stunned, she just wanted to leave, she felt that the world was so big that anyone could go there, but when she was really asked this question, the world was so big that she didn't know where to go.

Xia Jingyun sighed, "Stay here, and make a decision after I settle the funeral for my sister."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Gongsun Jing, "Let the housekeeper help you settle down, don't be negligent. Mr. Gongsun, come with me."

Gongsun Jing followed quickly, "My lord, where are we going?"

Xia Jingyun said coldly: "Go and make revenge."

Sitting on the carriage, Xia Jingyun closed his eyes.

If there was no meeting and conversation last night, would she continue to live her life, still be the most popular oiran in the brothel, even if she gets old and faded in the future, and the boss marries a businessman's wife, she can still quietly remember the scenery of Wuling teenagers fighting for heads, and then live her life like countless women in brothels?
If I could take action as soon as I read the letter, would she have successfully left, whether it's incognito, or living in the mountains and forests, a new life can already be started?
If there had never been such a dramatic entanglement between her and him, and her heart had never been filled with yearning for beauty because of his forgiveness and persuasion, would she have been able to avoid such a tragedy?
Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

The tragedy was already in front of him, so what he could do was to make the person who personally killed a person's life and dream pay the due price.

"Son."

Gongsun Jing's slightly disturbed voice sounded from the side.

Xia Jingyun hummed.

"My lord, do you want to think about it again?"

Xia Jingyun suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Gongsunjing.

Gongsun Jing shrank his neck, but he still insisted on saying: "Now let's not get along with others easily."

After starting up, he lost his confidence, because even he himself felt that the other party's matter was too much.

Xia Jingyun looked neither happy nor angry, and looked down at his hands, "In this world, there are always some things that are greater than interests, and those are the foundation of what makes us human."

When the carriage came to Fenghe Pavilion, Xia Jingyun saw Ning Bing lying in an empty room.

Yesterday's Chinese clothes were like snow, but now they were replaced by the coarse cloth clothes. The clothes were smeared and dried with blood, and had an ugly brown color, but in Xia Jingyun's eyes, they were purer than all the Chinese clothes.

He turned his head and looked at the owner of the Fenghe Pavilion who was with him, "Tell me about the story in detail."

A quarter of an hour later, Xia Jingyun walked out of the room, looking up at the yard in front of him.

The spring breeze knocks on the buds cheerfully, reminding that the blossoming flowers no longer curl up and hide themselves, and wantonly show the beauty and fragrance to the world.

But some flowers have withered forever in this early spring.

He turned to Gongsun Jing and said, "Go and find out where that Mr. Qian is at the moment."

Gongsun Jing hesitated to speak, turned and left.

When Gongsun Jing came with the news of Qin Yuwen, Su Yuanshang was with him.

"They didn't dare to come to persuade you, only I came."

Xia Jingyun said calmly: "Mr. Su also thinks, should I treat this as if it didn't happen?"

Su Yuanshang shook his head, "I just want a reason."

Xia Jingyun took a deep breath, "I told Mr. Gongsun just now. In this world, there are always some things that are higher than interests, and those things are the foundation of what makes us human."

Su Yuanshang smiled and nodded, "Let go and do it, and leave the rest to me."

Xia Jingyun glanced at him gratefully, and strode out with Chen Fugui.
