Wishful Things

Chapter 98 Confrontation in Court

If I don't bring him back now, I'm afraid that the yamen will go directly to the Hanlin Academy to summon him later-it will only attract people's tongues even more.

Xue Shi hurriedly ordered his servants to go to the Hanlin Academy.

"Get dressed for me."

Xia Tingzhen walked towards the inner room with big strides, and two servant girls quickly followed in.

"Mother..." Xia Xi was still full of uneasiness.

Although she was a little afraid of her second brother since she was a child, the brother-sister relationship still exists, not to mention that as the daughter of the chief assistant of the dynasty, she is very clear about the truth that one prospers all prospers and the other loses all.

If the second brother is really involved in this matter and cannot get out cleanly, the entire Xia family will be affected by it!

Normally, she wouldn't be so worried, but I heard that the woman is very unusual, every move, every word and deed is inciting public opinion—oh, she can say such shameless words about being insulted and humiliated in public People, of course unusual!

"Don't worry, with your father here, the villain won't succeed." Xue patted her daughter's hand lightly, and looked at the direction inside, feeling a lot more at ease.

In the early years when His Majesty was not enthroned, she also experienced many ups and downs with the Lord, and she was not an ignorant woman who was scared out of control by a little thing.

It's just that today's matter came too suddenly, and it was such a big disturbance in just two hours, and it was directly directed at the second son she cared about the most, plus her daughter ran up to her and chattered, so she would I'm a little confused.

Seeing her husband come back now, her heart has settled a lot.

Just a filthy woman of unknown origin, does she also want to ruin her son?

It's just wishful thinking!

Seeing that her mother's expression had returned to calm and indifferent, Xia Xi felt relieved.

That's right, as long as there is a father, there is nothing to be afraid of.

But, who is so bold, who dares to plan to kill her second brother behind her back?

Xue Shi was also thinking about it.

With Han'er's temperament, she would definitely not make enemies with others. I think it can only be the master's entanglements in the officialdom——

Without the skills to impress the master, they can only use Han'er to suppress their Xia family. After all, anyone can see that it is Han'er that the master wants to cultivate!

If this is the case, the other party's intentions are too sinister and insidious - when the truth is found out, I must vent this bad breath for Han'er!

The servants sent by the Xia family quickly invited Xia Han back to the mansion.

Xia Han had just stepped over the threshold, and the servant waiting in the front yard hurried forward to salute, and said in a low voice, "The master is waiting for the young master to pass by in the study..."

Xia Han nodded calmly.

"Understood, I'll go back and change my clothes before going to see my father."

The boy was stunned for a while, and then quickly followed.

The young master's lack of haste is obviously an expression of magnanimity and confidence-they said in private that it is absolutely impossible for the young master to do such a thing.

After Xia Han changed her clothes, she comforted her pregnant wife in a gentle voice before going out to the study.

"Father."

"You can hold your breath." Xia Tingzhen, who was sitting behind the desk, looked at the second son who was saluting, with insightful eyes on his cold face: "Does this matter have anything to do with you? Do you recognize that girl?" Still don't recognize?"

Xia Han half lowered her eyes: "My son has never done such a thing."

Xia Tingzhen looked at him steadfastly, and said: "People from the government have already arrived——"

For the sake of his Xia family, he waited patiently in the front hall until now.

"My son heard what the next person said."

Xia Han's tone was calm and calm: "I have a clear conscience, and I am not afraid to confront that woman in court."

Xia Tingzhen narrowed her eyes slightly.

His son, he knew it well.

Although he didn't know the whole picture of some things, it wasn't that he didn't notice them at all in the past two months, but he just didn't pay attention to them - because he always believed that the second son was the one who knew his proportions the most.

With his current attitude, he seemed to be confident.

"Since you know what to do and how to say it, you don't need me to teach you word by word." Xia Tingzhen looked at the second son and said, "Don't make any mistakes."

If he still has the ability to clean up the troubles he caused, he will not be completely disappointed.

It doesn't matter if people make mistakes, what matters is whether there is a way to deal with the aftermath.

"yes."

Xia Han responded, and said, "It's just that this incident happened suddenly, and after the little thief made a big fuss, he ran away without a trace under the eyes of everyone, and even the person sent by his son to deal with the aftermath was arrested on the spot." Hold on, someone is clearly behind the scenes-"

And that girl from the Cui family who just disappeared out of thin air...

All this tells him that Xu Ying was rescued by no means by accident.

It's just that at this moment, he is still not sure whether the other party is here purely for this matter, or whether it is his father and the Xia family behind him.

"I will order someone to investigate these, you just need to do what you should do." Xia Tingzhen's tone could not hear the joy or anger: "Don't let the government people wait too long, and settle this matter earlier. Come on, there must be no more side effects."

"Yes, my son is leaving."

Xia Han raised his hand to salute, retreated behind the door, and was about to turn around and leave when he heard his father's cold voice coming from behind the desk.

"Remember what I said to you brothers before - the Xia family has never tolerated useless and troublesome people."

Xia Han's eyes moved slightly, and he stopped in response. After a while, Fu left here.

The Beijing Yamen was already surrounded by people waiting to watch the fun.

"It's Xia's carriage...!"

Someone with sharp eyes said.

Everyone turned their heads to look like wheat waves blown by the wind.

A young man wearing a moon white straight gown, with a handsome appearance and a gentle temperament all over his body stepped out of the carriage.

The officials led the way, and several attendants guarded the man and entered the inner office.

"This is the second son of the Xia family? Looking at the gentle place, it doesn't look like..." Even though the people were discussing in low voices, they didn't dare to say anything too harsh and straightforward.

"Tsk, haven't you heard that people can't be judged by their appearance?"

Otherwise, where did the term "dressed beast" come from?

All the people crowded to the front of the Yamen.

In the courtroom, Xia Han saluted Ji Dong.

He was born as a Jinshi, so he didn't have to kneel down.

Xu Yingyi, a commoner, was different. After being brought up, he kowtowed in the hall.

She changed into plain clothes, combed her hair and simply tied it behind her head, but the scars on her face and hands were still shocking.

"Miss Xu is injured, so get up and answer." Ji Dong sighed in his heart, and ordered someone to move a stool over.

"Thank you, Mr. Ji."

Xu Ying did not try to be brave, and sat down on the stool after thanking her.

Just now in Houya, she drank water and ate. The more at this time, the more she has to preserve her strength in order to confront this beast.

"The person in the hall is Xia Han, the second son of the Xia family. Miss Xu needs to see clearly—are you sure he is the person you want to identify?" Ji Dong asked according to the rules.

Xu Ying looked straight at Xia Han.
