31. Chapter 31

When Xue Jiu knelt on the ground and told the news that Xie Hui was in a coma and Xie Lanting was safe and sound, the faces of the Xie family were full of wonderful things.

Xie Lanyin threw herself into her sister's arms, and she burst into tears more than when she heard the bad news.

She was crying happily. My sister was fine. My father met a doctor. If he could be taken to the sea by a caravan, he would definitely be superb in medical skills. My father was in good health and would definitely wake up. He would come back next year and reunite his family.

Xie Lanqiao's forehead pressed against his sister's head and she quietly cried.

Jiang had his own plan in his heart, and after being ecstatic, he became nervous again and asked Xue Jiu in a hurry, "Does the doctor say when will the uncle wake up?"

After hearing this, Sister Xie Lanyin looked over immediately, and her eyes were similar, with tears.

Xie Ding also looked at his subordinate nervously.

Chen was hard to tell the truth, and the second wife secretly clenched the veil, Xie Yao looked at her and relaxed, but she also hoped to hear something bad.

Xue Jiu seemed rough, but in fact he was as careful as a hair. When he came, he was reminded by Lu Yao. At this time, he showed a solemn expression. He looked at Jiang worriedly, and then he hesitated: "The doctor said that the uncle was hurting his head. Whether he could wake up depends on the will of heaven. He, he was only...30% sure."

In the words of the doctor, the old man should have no worries about his life, and his tone was 70% sure. But he changed to 30% and said it more quickly. After a while, the old general would hate Chen even more after learning the truth. If he hadn't wanted to affect his title, Xue Jiu would have wanted to say it more seriously. Anyway, the wife would definitely explain it to the two girls afterwards.

30% is better than death, but it also makes people feel worried.

Xie Ding frowned and used to touch his beard. He caught a glimpse of the faces of his eldest daughter-in-law and two granddaughters once again, and quickly stretched his eyebrows and persuaded him with ease: "If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune. Mingtang has even survived the shipwreck. Will you still not be able to survive a little brain disease? You all cheer up, you should be happy."

Xie Lanyin looked at her sister, Xie Lanqiao nodded at her, and smiled with tears in her eyes: "It's time to be happy."

Chen was not happy at all, his heart was hanging high.

She asked about Deputy General Liu's situation at that time, and Xue Jiu reminded Xie Hui, explaining that Xue Jiu saw Deputy General Liu holding the knife. Because Xue Jiu followed Luo Hai, she believed that the three of them would die and did not take this matter to heart. Now that Xue Jiu is back, will he...

"General... Marquis, I have something to do."

As if he knew what Chen was most afraid of, Xue Jiu raised his head, glanced across Chen's face, and fell on Xie Ding's face, "This matter is very important. Except for the old lady, the eldest lady, the second master, the second girl and the fifth girl, please dismiss the other people temporarily."

What is time to come is still here!

Chen's body was cold and his legs were shaking uncontrollably. She tied her legs tightly and said before Xie Ding said, "Looking at your haggard look, you must have come to report the news overnight, right? We know that the old man and the girl are safe and sound. You can go back and rest first, and then report to me. Don't worry about small matters."

It is important to get time first.

Xue Jiu sneered, "Mrs. Xie is concerned, but my subordinates must report to the Marquis immediately, otherwise I will be unable to sleep or eat, so I will ask the Marquis to fulfill my wish."

As he said that, he knelt down to Xie Ding.

Xie Ding looked sideways, and saw his wife's face pale and she didn't dare to look at him with her eyes down. Her eyes turned around. The second son Xie Xun looked confused. The eldest daughter-in-law and the two granddaughters were also confused. Then he returned to Xue Jiu with a firm look. Xie Ding thought for a moment and ordered in a deep voice: "Second wife, you all go down."

The old man spoke, but the second wife did not dare to delay, so she winked at her husband and led her two sons and one daughter away.

Xie Yao looked at the people suspiciously, but there was no clue. She really couldn't figure it out, so she led Fang Ling back.

Everyone left, Xie Ding looked at Xue Jiu.

Xue Jiu suddenly looked sad and angry, and moved to Xie Ding with his knees and kowtowed and shouted for justice, "Marty, the uncle is wronged. He was not because he fell into the water, but because the mast was suddenly cut off by Deputy General Liu when he was reclaiming the sail!"

"What did you say?" Xie Ding suddenly stood up, his chest fluttering violently, "You... come here, go and pass on Liu Qi!"

The sound of footsteps of the guards leaving quickly immediately came outside the door.

"Tell me the situation again!" Xie Ding sat down again and whispered, "I dare to say a word, I will slash you with one knife!"

Xue Jiu was not afraid at all, and said in detail to his sharp eyes, from the storm to their rescue, "Marquis, if I hadn't wanted to die, my subordinates would not be able to support this day, and I would have been swept away by the waves! My subordinates were not afraid of death, but were afraid of the cowards who died unjustly. If I didn't come back and ask clearly, my subordinates would die with their eyes closed!"

The words were full of resentment.

Xie Lanyin also hated and rushed to Chen in tears, "You did it? Why are you so cruel!"

Deputy General Liu has been with his grandfather since he was a child and is loyal to him. No one in this family can use him except Chen. Thinking of his father's elder sister almost died of the viciousness of this woman, Xie Lanyin was full of hatred and wanted to kill Chen immediately.

"Lanyin!" Jiang pulled her little daughter and handed her crying little daughter to her second daughter to help her. She looked at Chen firmly, but she had not received a response for a long time before she knelt down at Xie Ding, "Father, before the matter was found out, the daughter-in-law didn't want to wrongly accuse anyone, but her husband Lanting almost died. Now her husband's life and death are unknown. Lanting is helpless and alone. Her daughter-in-law begged her father to make the decision for us!"

"Don't listen to Lan Yin's children's yelling. How could this matter be related to mother?"

Xie Xun guessed something vaguely. Seeing that his mother had lost her soul, he obviously planned to admit it. He hurriedly knelt down and reminded his mother in another way, "Father, even if what Xue Jiu said is true, the eldest brother was really framed by Liu Qi, and Liu Qi may have been resentful to the eldest brother or colluded with the Japanese. How could he wrongly accuse his mother because of his childhood friendship with him?"

The mother must not admit the murder. As long as Deputy General Liu insists that he has never done it, just relying on Xue Jiu's one-sided words, his father cannot deal with his mother.

"Second uncle, Lan Yin was disrespectful to her grandmother only for a moment of grief. Since the second uncle didn't believe Brother Xue's words, why did he pour two basins of sewage on Deputy General Liu's head in a short time?" Xie Lanqiao held down the impulsive little sister and said a little sarcastically.

"Is your elders' words the same as you interrupt?" As to the mother and his position in his father's heart, Xie Xun was very sober at this time and immediately scolded his niece with etiquette.

Xie Lanqiao pursed his lips and pulled his sister to kneel beside his mother, "Please beg grandfather to make the decision for us!"

Xie Ding didn't hear these quarrels at all. He tilted his head and stared at his wife.

He knew that Liu Qi had no hatred with his eldest son, and that Liu Qi would not surrender to the Japanese even if he died. He would not have a lifelong friendship, and Liu Qi would not listen to anyone's orders to kill his son.

But his wife saved Liu Qi's life. When they were only teenagers, they went out for a trip. Liu Qi was bitten by a snake, and his wife, who was good at medical skills, saved him. Maybe he could survive even if he rushed back to the city, but in Liu Qi's eyes, that was life-saving grace.

Chen also thought of the scene of her youth. It was then that she found that Liu Qi fell in love with her and liked her to ask him to do things. He obeyed his will, so when she found that her cousin was gradually moved by the woman and really didn't want to bother her anymore, she asked Liu Qi to ask her cousin out for a drink, put some things in the wine, and she went in to reminisce about the past... Her cousin asked her body and could no longer be ruthless to drive her away.

Liu Qi killed people for her. Perhaps he was willing to fight against all charges for her?

With hope in his heart, Chen was no longer so scared. He looked at her husband's interrogative gaze and said, "Do you also suspect that it was my instructor?"

She was in her forties. After marrying her, she accompanied him to act for decades, pretending not to care about being his second wife, and not caring that he liked the son that the woman gave birth to. Now she is still very comfortable in acting innocently.

Xie Ding couldn't see through it. He suspected his wife and did not want to believe that the girl he liked when he was young. His wife who had been sleeping in the same bed for 30 years would be so cruel.

There was no answer, Xie Ding turned around and asked his two granddaughters to go back first.

They are still children and should not be involved in such things.

Xie Lanyin didn't want to leave, she wanted to know how her grandfather would deal with Chen.

Jiang shook his head at his daughter and told them to be obedient.

Xie Lanqiao helped her sister up. Xie Lanyin looked at her mother kneeling there. Thinking of the cold words her mother had received over the years on the Chen mother and daughter, she looked at Xie Ding crying, "Grandfather, when I was a child, I asked you if you like your second and third uncles more. You said you were not biased. This time my father almost died. If you are not biased, just give him justice!"

She doesn't believe that the real murderer is behind her, she doesn't know.

Xie Ding really wanted to give his granddaughter a positive answer like before, but he suddenly felt weak and couldn't even nod.

He was afraid that he would not be able to do it, and his granddaughter's heart would be even colder.

Before his grandfather nodded, Xie Lanyin suddenly smiled bitterly, said nothing, and walked out with his sister.

Just as he walked to the door, the guard who had been ordered to go to the door before rushed back panting, nodded to the sisters from afar, then ran into the door, knelt down and said, "Marty, Deputy General Liu, he committed suicide... Before his death, he asked his subordinates to tell the Marquis that he was sorry for you, and he had no face to see you again in this life, and he would apologize to the Marquis again in the next life."

Xie Ding stood up in disbelief, looked at the person kneeling there, thinking of the guards and brothers who had been with him for decades, suddenly, his eyes were spinning and he fell back to the chair.

"Cousin!" Chen came back to his senses, and was the first to pounce on him, rubbing his chest anxiously, with a sad face, "Cousin, he did something stupid and apologized for death. How could he be worthy of your grief?"

Xie Ding covered his chest and coughed, spit out a mouthful of blood, and finally suppressed the blood in his chest. He just looked at his wife who was looking at him with concern, and suddenly felt disgusted. He wanted to kick her hard, so disgusted that he regretted how he liked her back then. If he didn't like it, he wouldn't be sorry for his deceased wife and her children. It would be wrong to implicate his brothers in the battle of his inner house.

"Help me go back." Xie Ding closed his eyes and ordered, "I have a headache. I will pursue this matter tomorrow. You can go down first, my wife and second wife in Mingtang. I will take care of you. I will have your mother to take care of you."

Jiang glanced at him holding Chen's hand tightly, got up and left, and left with his two daughters at the door, Xue Jiu followed closely behind.

Xie Xun wanted to dress up as a filial son, but when he heard his mother's eyes, he whispered farewell.

Chen supported Xie Ding and walked slowly towards the bedroom, feeling the force on the man's hand, and looking at the blue veins swelling on his forehead, Chen guessed that she was not relaxed next, but Liu Qi was dead and there was no evidence. Xie Ding even suspected her and would not do anything to her.

"My cousin looked at the threshold." Chen reminded softly, and she lowered her head and watched him raise his foot.

"Close the door." Xie Ding said coldly after entering the house.

Chen paused, then responded, let go of his arm, and went to close the door. After covering it, she turned around, and before she could catch a glimpse of Xie Ding's shadow, she suddenly slapped her face hard. When she came to her senses, the person had fallen to the ground, his face was as painful as a fire, and his ears were buzzing.

"You poisonous woman!" The man gritted his teeth and scolded him from above his head.

Chen didn't hear it. She looked at the blood dripping on the blue brick floor, her eyes stagnant.

He hit her, he actually hit her...
