Chapter 25 Family(1/2)
Ming Jin tilted her head slightly, and the green hair on her temples fluttered slightly with the open autumn wind that came in through the wide open window on the side. It slightly brushed her elegant and clear eyeliner, but it could not hide the clear and cold light in her eyes.
"Since I became sensible, no matter where I am, no matter how miserable I am, I have never been humiliated by others in vain - at least they are not capable of this."
"I never hold grudges either - because I basically take revenge on the spot."
She didn't even give a name, just referred to them as "them".
It was an understatement, gentle and drizzle, but with a slight wandering of the eyes, Bi Shiyi understood.
The guard holding down the three men grabbed their heads respectively, just like a butcher in the market holding down the pig's head and trying to cut its throat before killing it.
Facing everyone, the other three guards stepped forward, raised their hands, raised and lowered them, and slapped them neatly.
Snapped!
Screaming in unison.
People from the Dong Xie family were shocked, and even Xie Li twitched the corners of his eyes.
With this slap, half of the cheeks of the three spoiled young masters swelled.
"You bitch..."
He was in pain, furious, and was about to scold Ming Jin, but before he could even open his mouth, the second slap came down.
After that, similar sounds kept ringing in the huge space.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't hold it back and almost wanted to go crazy, but she also knew that she was looking for the right person, "Xie Mingjin, you are bullying others too much! Auntie, just look at Xie Mingjin bullying like this..."
She stopped abruptly before she finished speaking, and looked at the old lady with palpitations.
At this moment, the old lady's face was gloomy, her eyes were sunken, she had clearly seen everything, but had no reaction.
In fact, if you really want to have a reaction, you don't have to wait for Mrs. Zhang to cry. You should have had an attack long ago. If you don't have an attack, you either can't or don't want to.
Mrs. Zhang understood and suddenly grabbed Dong Yushuang, who also wanted to plead for mercy.
A person who understands does not need to say anything, because it will be useless.
Others have no right to speak.
In the whole house, Xie Li, the only one who could talk to Ming Jin, just remained silent.
It wasn't until Ming Jin raised his hand slightly that Bi Shiyi asked the guards to stop, and then the three young men who vomited blood and lost their teeth were quietly taken away by the Yamen people.
They remained blind from beginning to end.
By the way, this look looks familiar. In the past, someone accused their boss’s family of committing illegal crimes, and the people in the yamen seemed to behave the same way when facing those poor peasants...
Mrs. Zhang would not reflect on herself, but was filled with hatred. She believed that the Xie family and Xie Mingjin had brought all this, but she did not dare to show it, so she could only suppress it and wanted to take the other Dong family members away.
Before I walked out, I heard Xie Li say something.
"Actually, Ah Jin, you don't have to come forward and let someone else take care of it, so as not to be resented by others and be plotted against in the future. You have to know that it's impossible to guard against it. If someone is interested in taking revenge on you, what should you do?"
"Those who hate me will not consider what I do or do. They will only weigh their own pros and cons and success or failure."
Mrs. Zhang knew that Xie Li's words were actually meant for her, as a warning, but Xie Mingjin's words were not necessarily so.
It was more like she was revealing the fact that as long as the Xie family was undefeated, those who dared not take action would still not dare, and those who dared to take action would eventually take action.
Mrs. Zhang's eyes flashed, and she looked at her daughter with a confused and embarrassed expression. Finally, she maintained her composure on the surface, and retreated like a tide with the rest of her host's frightened family.
The Dong family is in turmoil, and such a disaster requires long-term planning by the clan members. They must weigh the pros and cons to preserve the family's strength.
Xie Li couldn't explain more to his wife and daughter, he had to take care of other things.
Before that, he waved his hand and the guards went over and sent the rest of the Xie family out.
Only Ming Jin remained.
Ming Dai and others looked back, only to see Ming Jin standing in a large and empty room, the light slanting, her back very slender and secluded.
Yes, secluded.
Fighting with her own grandmother was extremely rebellious, as if she had no intention of compromising with the rules of this world.
Therefore, the more empty and majestic the place where the centuries-old family has maintained its rules and authority, the more it looks like a hazy corner that has been desolate for many years.

When there was no one else around, the old lady took the initiative, stared at Xie Li and Ming Jin, and asked coldly: "What are you going to do to me?"
Xie Li was still a little afraid of this aunt, so he could only smile bitterly, "My mother deceived the two unscrupulous nephews of my employer. I feel deeply guilty for the victims of the Dongyang County case. I will self-examine myself, close the courtyard door, eat fast and worship Buddha."
Is it unfair? In terms of justice in heaven and in the world, justice is unfair, but this is the reality.
Even Xie Li, who is kind-hearted, elegant and respectful, chose family interests.
Aristocratic family.
Ming Jin's eyes were dim and he looked increasingly tired.
How could the old lady pay attention to Ming Jin? Her cheek twitched and blue veins popped out, and she asked sternly: "He wants to imprison me?!"
Xie Li lowered his head and raised his hands in salute, "Mother, in the past five years, there have been people who have been unwilling to give up this shady spear to the Xie family. The tip of the spear must see blood to end it completely."
The court games in the capital were treading on thin ice. He didn't know how his brother could turn the tables on such a vicious and dangerous siege and delayed for five years to seize the initiative and finalize the case.
But he knew that the Xie family had many enemies.
The higher the position, the more dangerous it is.
The enemy's dormancy and attacks become more sudden and brutal.
It is far wiser to take action yourself than to let the other party take action.
"My boss is already bleeding, I thank you..."
He is not Xie Mingjin, so he can't say more. Even if this aunt made a very serious mistake, she is from a wealthy family and cannot easily get into trouble, otherwise it will be extremely detrimental to the Xie family.
Nor can he be guilty of disrespect.
Of course the old lady also understood this truth, but she couldn't calm down. She suppressed the blood in her throat and stared at Ming Jin.
"Isn't it because of this evil obstacle? I really gave birth to a good son. I was crazy about that bitch back then, and now I am disobedient and unfilial because of this evil obstacle. It's really..."
Very few people can try their best to maintain their appearance and demeanor when they are in a difficult situation. The old lady is certainly not this kind of person.
But Mingjin hated the other party for humiliating her mother, and the word "bitch" alone was enough to make her drop her morals.
Then he said: "Actually, I am not the one who wins against you today, grandma."
The old lady pursed her lips.
Ming Jin smiled slightly: "I am father and your son."
Xie Li instantly saw the pain and resentment on his aunt's face, and felt a chill in his heart.
This pair of grandparents seems to be born with an understanding of each other's weaknesses.
"You bastard! Do you really think you have won? He is my son, and he was born to maintain the power of the family. This time, I didn't check for a moment, and was deceived by the two little beasts of my employer. He was just helpless...
Do you think he wouldn't let go if it were you and your mother?"
"How do you think your mother died?"
The old lady smiled sinisterly, almost as if she was crazy, and couldn't wait to attack Ming Jin.
Ming Jin frowned, and there was confusion in his eyes. Xie Li noticed Ming Jin's strange expression, and immediately interrupted, saying: "Mother, you are tired, and you are talking nonsense. I will arrange it for you now..."
However, Ming Jin still chose to fight back.
"Grandma really thought she won back then?"
The old lady narrowed her eyes, as if she had regained some confidence, and murmured: "She died, this is the result."
She regained a bit of her grace, her eyes became brighter and brighter, but her expression was a bit mysterious.
Xie Li's expression changed slightly. He wanted to interrupt this taboo topic in the Xie family, but he didn't have time.
"My mother just left. She doesn't know whether she will live or die, but this is the result of her own choice. Xie Yuan can't keep him, and the Xie family can't keep her."
Ming Jin had no desire to say anything, but when it came to her mother who left for no reason, she always felt unbearable.
"If she really wants to deal with you, with her martial arts skills, even the heads of the Xie family together are not enough for her to kill with her sword. How can your Xie family's secret guards guard against her?"
"In the final analysis, it's just that she still feels a little reluctant to let go of your son."
She walked out of the door, and her voice gradually drifted away. I don't know if the old lady heard her clearly, but Xie Li heard her clearly.
"And if I don't kill you, you will be just like your son. He is a mortal and is subject to the rules of heaven and earth."
Xie Li didn't see Ming Jin's face clearly, but he estimated that even if he faced the other party, he probably wouldn't be able to see anything.
For example, does she have a grudge against her aunt's mother-in-law's nonsense just now?
This niece is now extremely introverted and is as unpredictable as her elder brother.
————————
Ming Jin walked down the stairs and found that several Xie family members had not left.
Her face was pale, her eyes were lazy, but there was a coldness around her that kept strangers away. Even if the sun was shining brightly at noon, she could not dispel that alienation.
