Chapter 286 I am willing to give up the world with both hands
But she didn't need to explain this to Qi Yi.
She took a handkerchief and wiped Qi Yi's face, then said dismissively, "This is an adult matter, children shouldn't concern themselves with such things."
"Quickly leave with your sister Caiyue."
Before Qi Yi could say anything more, Xie Xing said, "A large group of people will attract more attention. If you follow me, you'll only draw more attention to yourself."
Qi Yi then lowered his head and mumbled, "Okay."
As Qi Yi crawled through the dog hole with Cai Yue, he kept turning back to look at Xie Xing. Seeing that she was about to leave, he couldn't help but say, "Miss, you must come back safely."
Xie Xing darted away from the general's mansion like a monkey, and when she heard Qi Yi's voice, she waved her hand.
Xie Xing came to the general's mansion for no other reason than this.
It was for the tiger tally inside the general's mansion.
The emperor hesitated to kill Xie Ansheng for two reasons: firstly, the tiger tally was in Xie Ansheng's hands, and secondly, the court was short of personnel.
The soldiers Xie Ansheng led naturally only recognized the Xie family.
Without a reasonable pretext to convince these soldiers that Xie Ansheng is guilty, it could easily incite their anger, and they might even rebel and try to kidnap him.
Xie Ansheng did not carry the tiger tally on his person.
Otherwise, the emperor would have taken it long ago.
Xie Ansheng hid the tiger tally in a partitioned room of the study. Xie Xing now intends to steal the tiger tally so that no one can find it.
This will ensure the safety of the Xie family members to the greatest extent possible.
She could certainly watch the Xie family die for treason, but what would follow would not only affect whether she could appear openly in public, but would also implicate the Gu family.
It doesn't matter what happens to the Xie family.
But the Gu family and she are innocent.
With heavy guards during the day, Xie Xing did not intend to steal anything from the study during the day.
She stole a piece of clothing from a maid in the Xie family, changed into it casually, and began to wander around the Xie family compound with the maids.
on the trail.
She ran into Madam Xie and her maid.
Madam Xie was supported by her maidservant. Her face was pale and her expression was sorrowful, as if she had been crying.
It makes sense; Madam Xie probably couldn't accept being treated like this by her most beloved daughter.
“Zhang Mama, was I really wrong?” Madam Xie looked at Zhang Mama beside her with sorrow, her voice filled with sadness: “Since Mingzhu was little, I have always cherished her and watched her grow from a tiny little thing into such a graceful and beautiful woman.”
"She is my pride, and I have poured countless efforts into her."
"She's my daughter! How can I abandon the child I watched grow up just because of blood ties?"
"Blood ties may be gone, but affection remains."
How could I possibly give it up?
"Why did she become like this!" As Madam Xie spoke, she could no longer walk. She clutched her chest, feeling a heartache so intense that she could hardly breathe.
“Madam.” Zhang Mama sighed, gently stroking Madam Xie’s back, and said softly, “It’s not your fault, Madam. As a mother, both your children are precious to you. I know it’s hard for you to choose.”
“However, the Fifth Miss is your biological daughter, while the Fourth Miss has already been close to you enough.”
"You should make up for the lack of love you've given to Miss Wu over the years."
"The Fifth Miss has not been able to feel a trace of the love that a mother should have from you, so naturally she cannot be close to you. You cannot expect her to regard you as her dearest and most beloved mother."
Madam Xie covered her face and cried, "I know, I know."
“But feelings can’t be forced. She is my daughter, so I will give her all my dowry and all my love to Mingzhu.”
"Since I'm destined to wrong one person, then I might as well do so."
"But I never expected that Mingzhu..."
Madam Xie was panting heavily.
Xie Xing stood to one side with a group of maids, waiting for Madam Xie and Granny Zhang to leave.
Hearing these words, her expression grew even colder.
Madam Xie was quite shrewd; knowing that she couldn't balance her two daughters, she simply decided to be ruthless and mistreat the other one.
What she regrets is never the mistreatment of her own daughter, but the choice she made in choosing the wrong person.
They chose an ungrateful wretch to pamper.
Xie Xing was truly at a loss for words.
It's actually quite difficult to judge whether Madam Xie was right or wrong.
She was the one who risked her life to bring the girl into the world, and she is also the one who hates and dislikes her own daughter.
How can you force someone to like something?
If you don't like it, you don't like it.
Perhaps there really are mothers who are born disliking the daughters they gave birth to.
How can you criticize or blame her for that?
The kindness of raising someone is greater than the kindness of giving birth to them. It's understandable that Madam Xie only dotes on Xie Mingzhu, since Xie Mingzhu was the one who actually lived with Madam Xie for more than ten years, compared to her and Madam Xie.
But what Xie Xing secretly sneered at was...
Since she had already made her choice, what was the point of greedily demanding that she treat her the same way Xie Mingzhu did?
It's ridiculous.
After Madam Xie and Granny Zhang had walked away, Xie Xing left with the maid beside him.
……
Night falls.
The Xie residence was unusually quiet.
At that time, two people were standing on a large tree outside the Xie residence.
One is Xie Mingzhu, who has rarely appeared since suing Xie Ansheng in the Golden Palace, and the other is Luo Hanfeng dressed in the Yama Palace attire.
Luo Hanfeng looked into the General's Mansion and asked, "Mingzhu, are you sure the Tiger Tally is in the study of the General's Mansion?"
Xie Mingzhu had never stood on such a high treetop before. She carefully put her arm around Luo Hanfeng's waist, and upon hearing this, nodded and said, "Yes, I saw it when I was a child."
“My dad gave me a tiger tally to play with when I was a child. I remember it was somewhere in the study.”
“There is a compartment in my father’s study where important items from the General’s Mansion are hidden.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Hanfeng's lips curled slightly.
He lowered his head, looked at Xie Mingzhu gently, and said softly, "That's great, Mingzhu. Now that we have the Tiger Tally, our plan can begin."
"When the time comes, we'll work together with Lai Xiao and his gang from the inside and outside, and the world will be in our hands."
Xie Mingzhu's cheeks flushed slightly.
She said softly, "Hanfeng, I have no interest in who controls the world."
"But if this is what you want, I can give you the world with both hands."
"I am just a woman. Even if I restore my country, what difference will it make?"
"You will be the emperor, and I will be the empress. After this, no one will dare to bully the two of us again."
Under the moonlight, Luo Hanfeng's pupils flickered slightly, and a barely perceptible mocking smile appeared on his lips, yet his voice carried a hint of emotion: "Mingzhu, do you truly think so?"
Xie Mingzhu looked up: "Han Feng, you deserve all of this."
"If it is my son and your son who succeed to the throne, how can it not be a restoration of the kingdom?"
Xie Mingzhu bit her lip and said, "I... I only hope that from now on, you will only have me in your heart."
