Wishful Things

It can't be because she begged her mother to take her out to offer incense today, right?

She has been grounded for so long, she is almost going crazy!

And even if some meddling slut told her father about it, how could her father, who was supposed to be busy in the cabinet at this time, wait for her to come back for such a trivial matter?

She thinks she still doesn't have such a big face.

Or is it related to her marriage?

Xia Xi came to the side hall full of doubts, but just as she entered the hall and bowed her knees to salute, a teacup was thrown straight at her!

Caught off guard, there was no time to dodge.

The teacup slammed heavily on the girl's forehead, making a "bang" sound, and accompanied by the girl's scream, the broken blue and white porcelain splashed to the ground.

Xia Xi's forehead turned red immediately, and she looked up at her father sitting in the armchair in surprise and anger.

But when the anger caused by such a sudden encounter touched those cold eyes, it immediately turned into fear.

Why did her father suddenly attack her? !

"Are you crazy!"

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Xue, who came in right behind, stuffed the child in her arms to the mother-in-law, stared at her husband closely and questioned.

She, who has been numb to the things around her for a long time, can't say she loves her daughter so much at this moment, but more because this scene reminded her of the most painful thing in her heart.

"Xi'er is going to get married soon, and you smashed her face, how can she get out of the court! How can she win the new champion for you!" Xue Shi took a few steps forward, describing her excitement, anger and mockery.

Xia Tingzhen raised her eyes coldly, looking at the distorted face.

Now this crazy woman, compared with the always calm wife in his memory, he would believe that she was a different person.

"Get out of the court? Do you really think that she can still marry—" Xia Tingzhen's eyes were as cold as a knife: "Or, what did you do to your good daughter, and you still don't know anything?"

Xue still had that excited look on her face: "I'd like to hear what she did to make you, a father, treat her so cruelly!"

Xia Tingzhen looked at Xia Xi who was standing there with repeated expressions.

"Is the matter of Miss Xu in Zhen Guogong's mansion related to you!"

Xia Xi's figure trembled.

How could father know...

"Daughter hasn't done it!" She quickly shook her head in denial: "Even though my daughter has a feud with Xu Mingyi...but my daughter has never been out of the house recently, how could she be a daughter!"

A sneer appeared on Xia Tingzhen's face.

"As a father, I never thought that you would be able to do such restless behavior after being confined to the house. From this point of view, I still underestimated you - the Xia family raised you up and gave you unparalleled glory and wealth, but you can't even stay at home obediently and wait to get married?"

In the end, the voice was already very calm, but the chill within it grew stronger, making Xia Xi feel stiff and unable to move.

She opened her mouth with difficulty and struggled to say, "Father, it really wasn't my daughter who did it..."

"In the Beijing Yamen, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, you still refuse to admit it—"

Xia Xi's eyes widened slightly.

What Beijing government office?

What witnesses and physical evidence...?

Where did the evidence come from?

She was amazed and surprised, but facing that gaze, she didn't have the guts to keep her mouth stubborn.

The girl gritted her teeth and knelt down.

"Father, my daughter has really made her own claim..." She held on to her dress tightly, her tone was cautious but she couldn't hide her panic: "But the daughter is also for the father and the Xia family... The Duke of Zhen doesn't know what is good or bad, and always fights against his father. The daughter thought that he would see Xu Mingyi like an eyeball. If something happened to Xu Mingyi, the Duke of Zhen would definitely—"

"enough."

Xia Tingzhen closed her eyes and interrupted the stupid words she thought she was smart.

"Daughter knows she's wrong..." Xia Xi bit her trembling lower lip, and said, "Daughter doesn't dare anymore, beg father to punish daughter!"

She was vaguely aware of the unimaginable consequences of the imminent storm. Perhaps it would be the best result for her father to punish her...

However, she did not wait for any response.

This kind of silence seemed to contain a great fear, surrounding her, getting tighter and tighter, and even gradually making her feel out of breath.

Under such circumstances, she wanted to break this situation, and she mustered up the courage to say: "Father... this matter is wrong, they can't have any evidence, even if there is... it must be forged!"

Impossible to have evidence?

Xia Tingzhen sneered.

"Don't you think you're doing it very well? It's even better than your second brother's acting at the beginning?"

If the second son is too clever and confident, then his daughter is truly stupid and unaware.

He couldn't even figure out how he could give birth to something so stupid!

"My daughter just thinks...someone must have tampered with behind her back!" Xia Xi looked at her father closely, and said eagerly, "I'm afraid someone wants to harm my daughter! They want to target you, father!"

Xia Tingzhen said coldly: "I only know now, it's too late."

too late……

What means?!

Xia Xi's heart was shocked, and she hurriedly looked at her mother Xue Shi.

Looking at her husband sitting there, Xue clenched her trembling teeth tightly, her eyes full of hatred.

"Xia Tingzhen, you have already killed your own son... don't you want to kill your own daughter now! Don't even think about killing my child again! This time, I will never let you succeed!"

Xia Tingzhen's face was tense, and she said in a deep voice: "Come here, madam's words and deeds are crazy, send her back to her room, and quickly invite the doctor to come and treat her."

"It's you who are crazy!"

Xue's eyes were red, and she was about to pounce on him: "In vain, I used to think that you were used to taking care of the overall situation! You are a person who can accomplish great things! I tried my best to be your good wife, and I was willing to help you have children... But I never realized that you are a heartless evil ghost! An evil ghost!"

"Xia Tingzhen...you are going to go to the 18th floor of hell!"

The two women stepped forward very quickly and forcibly took the man away from here.

Listening to her mother's hoarse and crazy voice gradually disappearing behind her, Xia Xi knelt there without moving, her face pale and dazed.

At this moment, a servant hurried in.

With a hesitant expression, he said: "Master, the official in front is here to urge again... He said he wants Miss Si to go to the yamen to answer as soon as possible..."

Go to Yamen...

After the second brother went to the Yamen, he never came back!

Xia Xi, who was already in a daze, shook her head, and said in a high and low voice: "Father! I can't... go to the yamen... I can't!"

"Of course I can't go."

Xia Tingzhen said slowly: "My Xia family, I can't afford to lose such a person for the second time."

Xia Xi couldn't help but a glimmer of hope rose again when he heard this.

She just knew... no matter how much her father blames her, he will help her deal with this matter in the end!

She represents the face of the Xia family!

Good evening, everybody.
