Wishful Things

Chapter 140 Take a step to speak

After her lips moved for a while, she saw that the man on the bed had closed his eyes, and he didn't say another word after all.

I didn't know how long I sat like this until the sound of even breathing came from the bed, which showed that my husband was already fast asleep.

Xue twitched the dry and white corners of her mouth in despair, stood up slowly, and walked towards the outer hall.

At her age, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most painful blow in her life to lose her son who has loved and valued her for more than 20 years suddenly, and in such a shameful way.

But what's even more tragic is that her husband doesn't seem to be able to empathize.

Xue's eyes were a little distracted and she sat down in the outer hall until a woman came in from the outside.

She raised her eyes to her nurse.

All day long, the wet nurse has been looking after the restless Mrs. Lu in Han'er's yard.

"lady……"

The mother-in-law lowered her voice and said: "Madam, don't worry, I'm tired from tossing around, and I've already fallen asleep now."

During the day, Mrs. Lu went crazy all the time, because they were concerned about the presence of people in the palace, they could only temporarily tie their hands and feet and gag their mouths.

In the evening, when she saw that the man was finally willing to calm down, she made him let Lu Shi loose.

But who would have thought that as soon as the front foot let go of the person, Lu's back foot ran out recklessly.

They managed to catch him back again, and Mrs. Lu was crying again... It was really a toss.

After listening to the mother-in-law roughly finish the story, Xue's eyes were full of coldness.

How dare this bitch make a fuss!

Although it is also clear that the accident of the second son has nothing to do with the Lu family, it is true that the Lu family has dragged the second son back this time, and the illness was taken advantage of by outsiders - if she hadn't cared about the child in Lu's womb, she would have died that day. How could you let that damn Taoist enter the mansion!

Now she wished she could let this daughter-in-law, who was not as good as she wanted, pay for her second son's life!

"The old slave feels that the fright that the young mistress suffered this time is obviously related to the things in the garden..." The old woman persuaded in a low voice: "Anyway, she is pregnant with the only blood of the second master..."

If madam is impulsive, so that she doesn't even think about it in the future, I'm afraid I will regret it in the future.

Hearing these words, Xue's heart ached like a knife.

The only bloodline...

Why was her Han'er forced to such a desperate situation just because of the mere skeleton that was dug up?

How lowly was that woman born, that she was worthy of her Han'er's death? !

"If she doesn't want to live in Qinghe Garden anymore, she can choose another yard for her to raise her baby!" Xue Shi gritted her teeth slightly, and said, "Before the baby is born, you must take good care of him!"

The mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief and quickly answered "Yes".

...

In just two days, Xia Han's case came to a conclusion.

According to the law of Daqing, Xia Han was punished for several crimes and sentenced to Ling Chi.

The day of execution is half a month later.

The reason why the case can be closed so quickly this time, in addition to many irrefutable evidences, is also because Ji Dong sensed some kind of pressure from the palace.

News of Xia Han's conviction quickly spread throughout Beijing.

It is unknown where the saying originated, and it quickly captured everyone's attention.

"Have you heard? The day before the lightning strike Fengtian Temple, a Taoist saw that Xia's family had evil spirits, so he entered the Xia's mansion for inspection... And guess what?——The Taoist immediately revealed that there was an evil spirit in the courtyard of the second son of the Xia family. Evil thing! It is also predicted that the result of this evil thing will be fulfilled in Fengtian Palace in the palace!"

In a tea house in the city, a man with a child sitting on his neck was talking about the news he had inquired with the people around him.

The crowd suddenly went into an uproar.

"This is an expert!"

"So, isn't the source of the Fengtian Temple incident the fault of Xia Han?"

"It is said that Miss Xu, who was killed by him, died terribly. She must be full of resentment!"

"Fortunately, Xia Shou Fu Ming Dayi did not shield his parents and children. Otherwise, the murderer would not be able to subdue the law. This resentment would definitely be hard to appease, and something big would definitely happen!"

"Yeah yeah……"

...

In Zhen Guogong's mansion, Xu Mingyi didn't feel the slightest surprise when he heard the news that Ah Kui brought back from outside.

Xia Han was destined to take the blame for Emperor Qingming from the very beginning.

As for the praise of Xia Tingzhen's righteous killing of relatives outside, she would not feel depressed about it.

From the very beginning, she never thought that she could drag down the entire Xia family.

Even though it has been roughly confirmed from the Zhan family that what happened to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion in the previous life was inextricably related to the Xia family, it is still unrealistic to say that Xia Tingzhen can be completely terminated right now.

Xia Tingzhen is a cunning and scheming person. She has held the position of the most powerful minister in the court for so many years, and she has her own extraordinary means.

As for this matter, her original intention from the beginning was to bring Xia Han to justice.

Now that her wish has come true, she is already very happy.

As for the others, I have to leave it in the future and settle it slowly.

Xu Mingyi put down the veil for wiping the bow and arrow, and hung the bow on the wall again.

Amo, the second-class maid beside her, couldn't help taking another look.

The girl has been practicing archery since she was a child, and she loves bows and arrows very much. Everyone in the house knows this.

This bow is said to be a relic left by the girl's biological mother. Although the girl often took it out to wipe it in the past, she always kept it in the box. Now it is taken out and hung on the wall. It always makes people feel a little weird land……

After all, which girl's bedroom would hang a bow!

Aware of the little girl's gaze, Ah Kui glanced over with the momentum of a big maid.

The little girl immediately lowered her head and wiped the corner of the table.

Ah Kui straightened the hanging bow and arrow seriously.

Isn't it just a bow, it's worth the fuss of these little girls.

In the girl's own bedroom, can't she think about what to hang?

"Let's go, it's time to go out." Xu Mingyi glanced at the hourglass, and said in a relaxed and cheerful tone.

Ah Kui hurriedly responded and brought the food box prepared early in the morning.

The master and servant left Xiyuan, and when they passed the front yard, they met Yao Jing who was walking slowly.

"Mr. Yao."

Xu Mingyi saluted.

Yao Jing, who seemed to be thinking about something with lowered eyes, suddenly came back to his senses, raised his head and said in surprise, "It's a girl."

While speaking, he quickly returned the gift.

Xu Mingyi sighed slightly in his heart.

Mr. Yao's acting skills of deliberately creating a chance encounter can be regarded as a little exaggerated.

"I wonder if the girl is in a hurry to go out?" Yao Jing asked respectfully.

"It's not urgent."

"Then... Miss, is it convenient for me to take a step to talk with Pindao?"

Xu Mingyi nodded.

Aoi took a step back.

"..."

Seeing her girl standing there with no intention of moving, Yao Jing gave the servant girl a complicated look.

To say that one step is one step is really not more than one step, not less.

But think about it - in this mansion, when a girl talks and does things, when does she need to avoid whom?
