As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 184
Xie Zhaozhao put on his clothes and sat down on the round stool beside the nanmu table covered with gold tablecloth, when he heard the sound of the door opening and closing.

A shallow breeze of cold air blew in my face.

Xianggui led a person to Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyes and took a look.

The person in front of him had sunken eye sockets, high cheeks, and chapped lips with peeling skin.

Most of Dou's hair, which was originally as black as clouds, has turned gray.

Those eyes that were proud and charming when they smiled, and pitiful when they cried, now seemed like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves or life, and were slightly drooped.

It has already snowed, but they are still wearing thin blue-gray autumn shirts, as if they don't know how cold it is.

In just a few months, the second wife of the Xie family fell from the sky into the mud.

His whole body was gray and desolate.

Xie Zhaozhao's eyes were uninterested, as calm as if he had seen some dead object like a table or chair.

However, Xianggui was frightened and uncomfortable by the death aura on Dou's body, and quickly went over to stay by Xie Zhaozhao's side.

He also took a cloak and wrapped it around his master.

"My star is dead." Mrs. Dou murmured in a low voice: "My star is dead. I want to see her. You can bring her back."

Xie Zhaozhao said lightly: "Second Aunt is really——"

"Bring her back!"

Mrs. Dou suddenly raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, tears instantly overflowed from his eyes, and he said pleadingly: "Zhao Zhao, second aunt, please, for the sake of me taking care of you for many years, take her back!"

"Prince Liang's Mansion has tortured her to death. They will not properly handle her aftermath, no!"

"She is your sister after all. You have called her sister for 20 years."

"You had such a good relationship at that time - even if, even if there were some misunderstandings later, the dead are the most important, yes, the dead are the most important!"

Dou wanted to rush forward and grab Xie Zhaozhao's hand, but was stopped by Hong Xiu.

Mrs. Dou cried and said: "Please, I can't write two words of thank you in one sentence. If uncle were here, he would definitely do something -"

The more Mr. Dou talked, the more uncontrollable his emotions became, and he shouted in a hissing voice: "Uncle will never let Xingchen die in Prince Liang's house in such an unexplained way, let alone ignore what happened after her death. Uncle will avenge Xingchen now." !”

She shouted almost breaking her throat.

There was deep pain and confusion in that voice.

Xie Wei was so kind to their mother and daughter back then, why...it felt like in the blink of an eye, everything was turned upside down and everything changed?

"Maybe."

Xie Zhaozhao lowered his eyes and smiled lightly: "It's a pity, my father went to Pennsylvania, and now there are only two of us in the inner chamber of this house."

"And between the two of us, I still have the final say."

Xie Zhaozhao stood up, walked to Mrs. Dou, and said softly: "Not to mention that Xie Xingchen is now the concubine of Prince Liang. Everything about life and death is decided by Prince Liang's palace. We can't get involved-"

"Based on what you have done secretly, how can you have the nerve to say, 'I can't write two words of thanks in one stroke,' huh?"

Mrs. Dou stared at her with a smile on her lips.

Xie Zhaozhao said again: "When you embezzled the family's money, why didn't you say you couldn't write two words of thanks in one stroke?"

"When you and Xie Xingchen secretly stole my fiancé, why didn't you remember that you couldn't write two words of thank you in one sentence?"

Xie Zhaozhao said word by word: "Why do you still have the nerve to mention my father?"

Thinking of his previous life when his father returned to the capital to save the mother and daughter of his second wife, he was questioned about the serious crime of treason, skinned and dead without a complete body...

Xie Zhaozhao seemed to be in pain all over his body, so that he was breathing heavily and his eyes were gloomy.

Xie Zhaozhao sneered and said: "To tell you the truth, my second uncle never saved my father. It was because he was greedy for credit and got into an ambush by the enemy. Not only did he lose his own life, but he also caused the pass to fall and more than half of the elite soldiers were killed or injured!" "I For the sake of his reputation, dad not only shouldered all the blame, but also gave him a reputation as a hero!"

"I take great care of you mother and daughter, but is this how you repay me?"

"You, mother and daughter, are really to blame for what they have ended up like today. God is right!"

"Bitch!"

Dou screamed and suddenly reached out to grab Xie Zhaozhao's face, but was pushed away by Hongxiu.

Dou fell down on the exquisite wool carpet in embarrassment, and the look he turned towards Xie Zhaozhao was filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Xie Zhaozhao spoke condescendingly: "I see you because I have just experienced the pain of losing my daughter. I feel sorry for you, but the imperial edict must still be followed. Second Aunt, please continue to go back and copy the scriptures and think about it. Come here."

Hongxiu waved.

Two maidservants came forward and dragged Mrs. Dou away.

"You little bitch, what's going to happen?" Mr. Dou cursed viciously, but was choked by two maidservants with cloth strips. After that, only the sound of "wuwuwu" was left.

She was dragged away.

Xianggui gritted her teeth and said, "I knew she had no good intentions when she came. The lady shouldn't have seen her. It ruined her good mood."

"How?"

Xie Zhaozhao smiled lightly: "I'm in a good mood."

Xianggui was stunned for a moment, then saw Xie Zhaozhao going to sit down in front of the mirror, and quickly stepped forward to serve her, twisting and washing her hair.

After breakfast, Xie Zhaozhao leaned on the unoccupied couch and concentrated on making the jade-woven belt.

Hongxiu walked in quickly, her face a bit ugly: "Miss, after the second lady came back, she started yelling and cursing very unpleasantly. This..."

"Then shut her up."

Xie Zhaozhao said calmly: "Don't make a sound."

Hongxiu was not sure, "Shut up forever or..."

Xie Zhaozhao was holding a beautiful jade bead in his hand and gesturing on his belt, "She is an elder after all. How dare I tell her to shut up forever? I just told her not to be so noisy. Don't think wrong."

Hongxiu nodded, "I understand, slave."

When Hongxiu came out of Xie Zhaozhao's room and walked downstairs, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just now she thought that when Xie Zhaozhao said "shut up", he meant death.

Xie Zhaozhao is different from ordinary ladies in the boudoir.

She has been traveling on battlefields since she was a child, and has seen the most tragic scenes in the world, and Xie Zhaozhao seems to have a deep-seated hatred for his second wife.

Therefore, Hongxiu felt that it would not be impossible if Dou's life was really ruthlessly taken.

After all, Xie Zhaozhao has the final say in the house now, and taking Dou's life is as easy as crushing an ant.

But if Xie Zhaozhao was really like that, Hongxiu felt scared in her heart.

No matter how ruthless he is on the battlefield, Xie Zhaozhao is still a young lady now. If he attacks so ruthlessly, people around him will feel like they can't breathe.

She walked very fast, and before she reached the door of Yilan Garden, Dou's hoarse curses could be heard inside.

When Dou was young, he was not favored by his mother-in-law. Since childhood, he and his aunt had been bullied by the mother-in-law of the family, and had a very difficult life.

When my mother-in-law was unhappy, she said all kinds of vicious things.

Mrs. Dou has been the head wife of the Xie family these years, so she is naturally dignified and elegant.

Now that I'm at the end of my rope, all those words are pouring out of my mouth, no matter how unpleasant they are to hear.
