Chapter 383 Mrs. Xie Er pleads guilty

 It’s late at night in Xie’s Mansion.

The bright moon is bright, illuminating the brightly lit courtyard.

 In the courtyard, there were a group of servants, women and attendants from two rooms of different sizes kneeling on their knees.

 They were all waiting for Xie Suzhi, the elder in the room, to summon them for questioning.

While everyone was waiting tremblingly, not knowing what disaster would happen to them again, Xie Suzhi's stern scolding came from inside the room -

"Aren't you still willing to admit what happened now? Did you kill that maid named Wenxiu?"

 Inside the house, Xie Suzhi and Xie Erye were sitting in two imperial chairs.

The two brothers’ eyes were deep and cold.

In front of them knelt Mrs. Xie Er, whose hair was messy, and Xie Yuanjiu, who was weeping quietly.

Shen Ningning and Xie Mingan stood aside. Behind them, Uncle Pang, the butler, was holding a tray with the **** clothes on it.

Since Mrs. Xie was brought here, she has been bitten to death without knowing anything about it.

Now facing Xie Suzhi's stern questioning, she just cried.

Xie Mingan took a step forward and said coldly: "Second Aunt, I have asked the servants who saw Wenxiu on the day of her death. They can all identify this blood-stained dress as the one she wore on the day of her unexpected death."

"Almost all the servants in your room can prove that after Wenxiu entered your room to keep vigil that night, she was dead in the pool when she reappeared. Therefore, I advise you to confess as soon as possible whether you are the real culprit of her murder."

Mrs. Xie Er laughed and cried, her voice was sad. She raised her eyes. Although she was answering Xie Ming'an's words, her tearful eyes were staring at Mr. Xie.

"I am the master and she is the slave. Since ancient times, how can the master pay the slave with his life? Even if I kill the person, what do you want to do with me?"

Xie Suzhi pursed his thin lips and looked coldly.

“The emperor was recuperating in a side courtyard, but he was disturbed by a dispute over a piece of **** clothing. You even dared to slander the emperor.”

“The Li family has been demoted to Mobei, and the emperor has also ordered that the source of the **** clothes must be found and the real culprit must be found.”

"Now it's not as simple as you killing the maid. Originally we could handle it well, but sister-in-law, you have caused a big trouble this time!"

Xie Suzhi's words seemed to be a sharp blade, completely cutting off Mrs. Xie's sanity.

She screamed in agony, her eyes bloodshot from crying, and she exerted all her strength until the veins on the back of her hands stretched.

Mrs. Xie Er looks really crazy.

Xie Mingan felt something was wrong and frowned subconsciously, protecting Shen Ningning.

Sudden!

Mrs. Xie Er rushed to Xie Yuanjiu who was standing aside and strangled her neck fiercely.

"What kind of desperation are you going to push me into! Why do you want to harm me as soon as you come back? Why, I am your mother! What good will it do to you!"

Xie Yuanjiu’s eyes turned white after being pinched, and her face quickly turned purple.

Mr. Xie's expression changed and he hurriedly stepped forward to pull: "Let go!"

Mrs. Xie Er seemed to be possessed by a demon, her eyes were red, and she pinched Xie Yuanjiu's neck fiercely.

She kept repeating: "I'm so good to you, why do you do this, why! Why do you all despise me as a burden, why didn't I strangle you to death that day!"

Shen Ningning was frightened by her appearance. The little guy couldn't help but stretched out his chubby hands and grabbed a corner of Xie Ming'an's robe.

 Then she tilted her little head slightly and looked silently in the direction of Mrs. Xie Er.

 Xie Erye and Xie Suzhi pulled her up together.

Xie Yuanjiu covered her neck, coughed violently, and shrank back in fear until her back was against the door.

 She looked at the crazy Mrs. Xie with a horrified expression.

"Mom, you are crazy, do you really want to kill me?" Xie Yuanjiu burst into tears.

Mrs. Xie Er was about to speak, but Xie Yuanjiu said: "Now that things have happened, even if I am killed by you, it will not help. Mother, you might as well do it for what you did yourself." "Otherwise, even if I die, you We also have to bear the crime of murder. We can't keep any of us by my father's side. Why don't you understand this?" Xie Yuanjiu's eyes turned red.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xie Er, who was struggling, stopped.

Her bloodshot eyes stared blankly at Xie Yuanjiu.

How could she not understand what Xie Yuanjiu meant?

 She couldn't hide the matter of killing the maid.

If she offered up Xie Yuanjiu again, then given the personality of the second master Xie Dizhi, she would definitely not be able to tolerate any of them.

 If everyone is kicked out of the mansion, what chance does she have of staying in Xie's mansion?

Xie Yuanjiu looked at her with tears in his eyes, and with one last tearful cry he complained: "I am your daughter!"

 A pun, she told Mrs. Xie with her eyes to keep her so that Mrs. Xie would have a chance to return to Xie's Mansion.

Shen Ningning saw Mrs. Xie's hand slowly lowering, along with her head that was always held high and proud.

She laughed miserably in a low voice, and then said after a moment: "I admit that I was the one who killed Wenxiu, and I did it all."

Xie Suzhi closed his eyes with a cold expression and sighed helplessly.

"Ming'an, record her confession." After saying that, Xie Suzhi walked towards Shen Ningning and picked up his daughter.

He said gently: "Ning Ning, it's too late. Daddy should go and take you to rest first."

 Shen Ningning nodded obediently.

  She has done everything she has to do, and now the little guy is just a cute pink and white dumpling.

It's not noisy or fussy in daddy's arms. I have to go check on the sick uncle Emperor later!

Just as Xie Suzhi was about to step out of the threshold, Xie Yuanjiu looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Uncle, my mother is like this, what should I do?"

"You?" Xie Suzhi glanced sideways at her, his eyes filled with disappointment: "Second brother, let me make the decision. After all, she is not my daughter."

 With that said, he took Shen Ningning away.

Xie Mingan called people in and took Mrs. Xie to another room for careful interrogation.

When Mrs. Xie passed by Xie Yuanjiu, her messy hair half covered her bloodshot eyes, and she looked straight at Xie Yuanjiu.

That look in his eyes made Xie Yuanjiu dare not take another look.

After they left, Mr. Xie looked at Xie Yuanjiu: "No matter what happens to your mother, I will never deny you as my daughter. After all, my blood is flowing in you."

"But, Yuanjiu, what you did this time really disappointed me. I thought you had really grown up when you returned to Beijing, but I didn't expect..."

Mr. Xie shook his head and sighed.

When he spoke again, his tone was firm and ruthless: "You can move out overnight. I have arranged a carriage and am waiting outside the door."

"From now on, even if you live in the capital, we will never meet. I will pay your housekeeper one thousand taels of silver per month for your daily expenses and everything in the house, and the servants will take care of it on your behalf. your."

"Outwardly, you are still the daughter of the Xie family, but if you make trouble again, I can disregard the family ties and sever the father-daughter relationship with you."

 Xie Yuanjiu suddenly knelt down.

This time, she cried with great regret: "Father, don't drive me away. I'm still so young. How can I live if you let me leave Xie's Mansion?"

“My mother killed the maid, and what happened to Yuyi today was also an accident. I really didn’t know about it!”

Mr. Xie closed his eyes and refused to listen to her sophistry. He coldly ordered his followers outside: "Come here, take Miss Fourth away!"

“Father! Father, do you really don’t want me? Father—” Xie Yuanjiu was dragged away, and her voice followed the wind.

The screams became farther and farther away until they were no longer audible.

Mr. Xie opened his eyes and glanced tiredly at the door.

Under the corridor, the moonlight is cool and cool, blowing the hanging bead curtain, swaying slightly, and the light and shadow rise and fall.
