Chapter 221(1/2)
The Ye Family and the Jiaocheng Ordnance Factory are actually just minutiae.
The restlessness, chaos, and fighting in the Xie family eventually faded away like the tide.
Outside Xie's house, Yan Zhen was riding on a horse, looking at the Imperial Guards, the patrol camp, and the Overwatch Council retreating one after another.
No one from the Xie family was taken away.
But she knew that this was not over.
She looked towards the Xie family's inner house.
What I was looking at was the location of the Xie family’s main courtyard.
The bloodstains in the courtyard, corridors, and on the ground had just been cleaned up, and Xie Jun's body and head had just been collected. Except for some childbirth matters and the wives who were familiar with Xie Mingrong, the rest were arranged back to their respective courtyards.
Being guarded.
In fact, even if they are not being supervised, they are particularly afraid.
I don’t know if I am afraid of this country, this court, this world that does not tolerate family, or I am afraid of a person.
Xie Mingjin.
Just like when I was afraid of Xie Yuan.

The rain began to rain heavily, and the smell of blood was strong inside the house, but there was no scream that a pregnant woman would inevitably have when giving birth. There were only the voices of the stable mothers giving various orders. They were calm at first, but later there was some panic, but then
Strive to be calm.
The blood is getting heavier and heavier.
Mrs. Xu suppressed her tears and was shaken by all the grief and uneasiness caused by the recent events. She forgot everything and only knew that it was her daughter in front of her. She was by her side, always comforting her and begging her to be strong, but her hands kept shaking.
The female relatives in the second room did not dare to cry. They could only watch Xie Mingrong gritting her teeth, but refused to hold anyone's hand with her hands, including Mrs. Xu.
She only held onto the sheets and the edge of the bed.
The breath seemed to bite and hang, and finally... the most experienced Wen Po glanced at her. After all, she knew the secrets of the Xie family and was most familiar with these Xie family children. She was about to call someone, but she saw someone outside the curtain.
a person.
The people in the second room suddenly fell silent, and even Mrs. Xu showed a complicated expression...but especially expectations and pleas.
So she knelt down.
He knelt beside the bed.
The maid opened the curtain and Ming Jin walked in, looking at the snow on the bed and the large amount of blood under Xie Mingrong's body, but the fetus still could not come out.
Ming Jin sat on the moved chair, beside the bed, bent slightly and stretched out his hand, only to see a lot of blood on his hand.
It belongs to Xie Juan.
She relaxed for a moment, and Li Baiyi next to her handed over a clean wet handkerchief. Ming Jin looked at her, took it, wiped off the blood, and then held Xie Mingrong on the edge of the bed and pressed hard until the knuckles turned white and red.
Open it gently and hold it in your hands.
Xie Mingrong opened her eyes, held her tightly, looked at her, and said tremblingly: "Mingdai, A'dai...what's wrong with her?"
Mrs. Xu raised her head and looked at Ming Jin again, with tears in her eyes.
Ming Jin's eyebrows were slightly lowered, and his long eyelashes seemed to cast a shadow, "Piese...that is, Zhuang Gu, a member of the Situ family. The Xie family had an old grudge and was involved in the assassination of Emperor Jing. He came here to avenge himself."
"You didn't answer my question."
"He wanted to force her to submit, but Adai didn't agree."
"Then what?"
"He committed suicide by taking poison."
Xu's body was weak and stunned.
Everyone was also frightened.
Li Baiyi averted her eyes and watched the maids changing basin after basin of blood.
The blood was diluted with water and was full of red, but it was clear and you could see the bottom.
"What kind of poison?" Xie Mingrong asked again, but stared at Ming Jin. The women were very panicked and couldn't help but look at Ming Jin, but stopped talking.
"Lotus love."
A kind of mild poison, death is painless, and the deceased will bloom with the most beautiful appearance in this life.
That's what she said.
Xie Mingrong seemed to have used great strength, and his slender fingers left marks on Ming Jin's hand.
She looked at her for a while, Wen Po couldn't help but let her use force, and Xie Mingrong suddenly let go of Ming Jin.
Ming Jin knew, she saw it.
She had never been able to show off in front of this sister, but they couldn't tell her.
Because Lin and the others are outside.
Her questions were cryptic and her answers were false.
After all, Xie Mingrong still endured the greatest pain in his life.
The Xie clan rules, honor, blood ties, and sisterhood that she had tried to maintain since she was a child, everything she was proud of, were destroyed by her biological father.
She had even thought about how tragic Ming Dai's death was, which was enough to change Ming Jin so drastically.
She had thought of it a long time ago, but she just couldn't believe it.
Now, she is finally sure.
Xie Mingrong closed his eyes and screamed.
————————
Ming Jin, who was covered in blood, sat on the corridor beside the door of the delivery room, watching the rain outside, washing away the traces of all the movements of the day.
She seemed extremely tired, her hands hanging on the armrests, and blood was flowing on her fingers again, which she had just joined forces with Li Baiyi to save Xie Mingrong's life.
It was very hot.
It's cold now.
Peony beside her had tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to speak.
Ming Jin didn't say anything. She quietly looked at the blood in the yard, and at the petals of those precious flowers that were beaten to pieces by the violent rain.
They are light and weak, drifting along the current, or clinging to the cold ground in pieces, not knowing where to go.
She didn't know whether she retained the rain or the flowers in the rain.
Until a man came in a hurry.
He was stopped.
Zhang Yong is a son of a noble family and has been pampered since childhood, but all his embarrassment comes from Xie Mingrong and the Xie family.
Today is no exception.
He was panicked, and after being stopped, he looked at Ming Jin.
"How is she?"
Ming Jin didn't answer, but just replied: "Before she came, she left a letter of separation for you, right?"
Zhang Yong's face darkened, he gritted his teeth, but looked at the door. He wanted to go in, but knew he couldn't.
This is the Xie family.
"You guys make peace with each other."
"I will not be separated from her."
Zhang Yong turned around. He had learned about the situation of the Xie family, knew how scary this woman was, and also knew who had the final say in the Xie family now.
He looked at Ming Jin and knelt down.
"She wants to bear it with the Xie family, and I am willing to bear it with her."
Ming Jin didn't look at him, but said softly: "But you were stopped, your parents, your blood relatives, your clan's honor and disgrace, life and death."
Zhang Yong's pupils trembled, and finally he was in pain.
Yes, he was stopped.
In order to escape from the mansion, he was in a mess and finally arrived here, but what's the use?
He can't even get through that door.
No one told him what happened to Ming Rong.
"I will resign my right to inherit the title, I..."
"I have a clue as to how you got your official position. This is the confidence I left for her."
