Chapter 110 From now on, I can only watch her from afar (57)
The three words "ugly" were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Xiao Ji's heart and making him stunned for a moment. The words he wanted to refute were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a word.
Once upon a time, he was a well-known handsome young man in the capital, and many women admired him, but now, even his childhood sweetheart who once loved him deeply calls him like this?
Mrs. Xiao, who was standing by, couldn't help but get angry when she saw her son being humiliated. She glared at Xie Jingshu and said unhappily, "Second Miss Xie, how can you talk like that?"
Xie Jingshu looked at Madam Xiao innocently and asked, "Madam, what do you mean by this?"
Then, she turned her gaze to Xiao Ji and said disdainfully: "Look at this ugly son of yours. Can he compare to my fiancé?"
After saying that, she deliberately pulled Xue Han in front of Xiao Ji and deliberately let them compare with each other.
Xue Han was seen wearing a light-colored long gown. He did not wear a golden crown today. Instead, he used a jade hairpin to tie his hair up lightly, making him look elegant and refined.
Xiao Ji looked a little tired because he had been confined at home for a few days. He did not shave today and was dressed very casually.
Perhaps it was because he lost interest in taking care of himself after learning that he would have a scar on his forehead.
The two people who originally didn't have much of a gap between them now seem to be worlds apart.
"Mom, stop talking, let's go back!" Xiao Ji looked at Xue Han's half-smile and felt more and more ashamed of himself.
"Han'er, how do you like the yard? Is there anything that needs to be changed?" At this moment, Mrs. Xue's voice sounded from behind.
When Mrs. Xiao turned around, she saw the "evil star" - Mrs. Xue, walking towards her with a gun in her hand.
At this moment, she didn't care about anything else and pulled her son Xiao Ji out of the Xue family.
As soon as they got home, they happened to meet Duke Xiao returning home. He glanced at his wife and children and said, "You got the shop back? Don't do such things in the future! I heard rumors that the emperor is determined to rectify the aristocratic families in the capital.
We are different from the Xie family. Although they don’t have a title, the father and son of the Xie family have real power. Although I have a title, I don’t have any real power. If it’s too eye-catching...”
What was not said afterwards was simply that Duke Xiao was afraid that he would be on the list of people to be purged.
But will Emperor Qianxuan let him go? Of course not. Even the incompetent Marquis Yong'an has been blacklisted this time.
"Your Majesty, Wang Muqing, the aunt of Marquis Yong'an, has always helped us with many things. Can you please show her some mercy?" Empress Liu had received the news earlier and came to discuss it with the emperor.
It's not that she really has any sympathy for Wang Muqing, it's just that Queen Liu asked her to do a lot of things, and given her temper, she's afraid she might retaliate.
"You asked her to do it, I didn't." Emperor Qianxuan denied everything, "In fact, if I were you, I would not use such a person again, let alone keep him by my side, it's too dangerous.
Of course! After all, she is yours, so leaving her a glimmer of hope is not a big deal. But she is different from those servants. She is mute, but she can still write. Do you think this matter is a bit difficult to handle?"
"Your Majesty is right." Empress Liu gritted her teeth and said, "I was too soft-hearted before. I think the person who can do so many dirty things is not innocent."
Two days ago, a female corpse floated up in the moat. After the autopsy, the coroner said with some regret: "She must have fallen into the water at night. If there were people around at the time, she might have been saved. It's a pity that the woman didn't look very old."
Because she had died not long ago, she was easy to identify. The deceased was the aunt of Marquis Yong'an - Wang Muqing.
The day after the news came out, which was the day before the imperial examination, a batch of imported goods worth about 200,000 taels appeared in Emperor Qianxuan's private warehouse.
Apart from other things, there was a fully handmade model of a large sailing ship, which Emperor Qianxuan particularly liked.
"Your Majesty, this model is so detailed!" The chief eunuch exclaimed beside Emperor Qianxuan, "Even the deck of the ship has been restored to its original wooden form."
Emperor Qianxuan said proudly: "What do you know? The fabric used to make the sails on this model is the same as that on the original ship."
"Miss Xie is thoughtful. She knows that you like these fun things." The chief eunuch has been with Emperor Qianxuan for so many years, so of course he knows what the other party likes to hear.
"Humph! You are the only one who can praise her like this!" Although Emperor Qianxuan's tone was unhappy, his eyes were full of smiles, "After all, she is a capable person who manages my purse. I am such a money-loving person, how can I not listen to her?
Is it worth her so much effort for such a thing? Look at this one move, it's two hundred thousand taels. Xie Aiqing is a capable person. I really like this God of Wealth that he gave birth to!"
This time the chief eunuch did not respond, but just nodded.
After all, when his master mentioned General Xie, what he said was unbearable to listen to. He meant that General Xie gave birth to a God of Wealth.
Fortunately, he had been with the master for a long time and could understand the meaning of his master's words. If it were someone else, he would have heard it as: General Xie gave birth to a child for the emperor?
Think about General Xie’s tall and mighty appearance, and then look at the “soft” appearance of the people around him.
Forget it, the scene is too horrifying and unimaginable.
