Chapter 209 Xie Ying Suddenly Feels Guilty
"Grandfather, Xin'er understands! Xin'er will go back now!"
Xie Xin wiped his tears with his hand, carefully put the letter into his arms, and kowtowed three times respectfully to Lord Cheng'en before leaving.
After he left, the kind smile on Duke Cheng'en's face disappeared instantly, leaving only gloom and disgust.
"It's a pity."
He sighed lightly and said no more.
Suddenly, a servant came to report: "Master, a mynah bird just flew in from outside and tried to follow Master Xin into the mansion, but was chased away by the doorman with a slingshot.
But it didn't fly away. It kept talking nonsense outside the house, saying you'd killed someone! The doorman tried to kill it with a slingshot, but was ambushed and had his eyes injured!
Duke Cheng'en's expression changed. "What? There's actually such a thing? Do you know where that mynah bird came from?"
The servant said carefully: "He should have come with Master Xin."
"Follow Xin'er?" Duke Cheng'en narrowed his eyes and suddenly slammed the table. "Lu Xuan, what a jerk! He actually had people monitoring Duke Cheng'en's mansion and even deliberately trained mynah birds to spread rumors and slander!"
"Ah!"
In the Black Kirin Guard Yamen, Lu Xuan suddenly felt his nose itchy and sneezed violently.
He rubbed his nose in confusion, then touched his forehead. What's going on? Has he been too tired lately and caught a cold? Otherwise, why would he suddenly sneeze?
At Xie's house, Xie Ying pursed her lips guiltily: Lu Xuan...seemed to have taken the blame for her. This was not her intention. It was just the old man from the Chen family who insisted on thinking so. It was none of her business.
However, what good place does Lord Cheng'en want to arrange for Xie Xin to go?
Could it be the Chen family’s secret base?
If we just keep an eye on Xie Xin, won’t we be able to find that stronghold?
Xie Ying thought about it and decided to let Xiangxiang follow Xie Xin.
But the Chen family was so vigilant, so the person who arranged to pick up Xie Xin must be no pushover. If there was a bird following them, they would definitely be wary.
Xiangxiang can't take advantage of the opportunity this time, so it would be better for her to hide secretly on Xie Xin.
Xie Ying decisively gave Xiangxiang an order, asking it to keep an eye on Xie Xin.
Xiangxiang came out of Chen's house and first found the mynah bird hiding on the roof. She took a ride on the bird to find Xie Xin, secretly hid inside the hem of his clothes, and followed him back to Xie's house.
For some reason, Xie Xin felt a chill down his spine. Scared, he quickly touched the letter in his arms to make sure it was still there, then hurried home to find Xie Yi.
Xie Yi was feeling unbearable pain at this time, but when he learned that Xie Xin had gone to see Lord Cheng'en and brought back a letter, he immediately endured the pain, opened the envelope himself, and examined it carefully.
Xie Xin leaned over to take a look: "Brother, what exactly is written on it?"
Xie Yi handed him the letter: "Read it yourself."
After Xie Xin took the letter and read it carefully, he found that the letter first comforted Xie Yi, and then asked him not to act rashly and to take good care of his injuries. After he recovered from his injuries, he would arrange a good place for him.
Then let Xie Yi persuade Xie Xin not to act rashly.
As soon as Xie finished reading the letter, Xie Yi asked, "Tell me in detail, what did your grandfather say to you?"
Xie Xin tried hard to recall and repeated what Cheng En Gong had said.
After Xie Yi heard this, his eyes flashed and he said to him, "Since Grandfather has arranged a place for you, you should pack your things and leave as soon as possible."
After that, he asked Xie Xin: "Do you want revenge?"
Xie Xin immediately gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly: "Of course I do!"
If it weren't for Xie Xiu, his father and mother would be fine, and he and his brother wouldn't have such a ruined reputation that they couldn't even take the imperial examinations!
"I will definitely skin Xie Xiu alive and tear his tendons apart, then cut him into pieces!"
"Since you want revenge, listen to me carefully!"
Xie Yi grabbed his wrist tightly and gave him careful instructions.
He spoke in great detail, stopping from time to time to ask Xie Xin if he remembered and to have Xie Xin repeat what he said.
I won’t continue until I’m sure the thank you letter has been remembered.
Xie Xin listened silently. If it were in the past, he would definitely not have the patience to listen to Xie Yi's endless instructions and would only feel annoyed.
But now, out of revenge, he listened extra carefully.
Xie Yi said a lot more before finally finishing.
Then he tested him on the thank you letter to make sure he had really listened, and then let him leave.
Xie Xin looked at him reluctantly: "Brother, take good care of yourself and don't worry about me. I'm not a child, I know what to do.
Didn’t Grandfather say that when your injuries recover, he will arrange for you to leave, and then we can meet again.”
At the end of the conversation, he couldn't help but feel a little happy and expectant.
However, Xie Yi knew that the place arranged for him by Duke Cheng'en would never be the same as Xie Xin's.
But he didn't tell Xie Xin, he just responded softly, urging Xie Xin to pack up quickly and then set off.
Only then did Xie Xin leave.
As soon as he left, Xie Yi could no longer bear the pain and her whole face twisted instantly.
Xie Xin quickly returned to his room, packed a bag, and walked out with it on his back.
He hesitated for a moment, and did not go to bid farewell to the old master and the old lady, nor did he go to see Xie Yun and Xie Jia. He went straight to the stable, got a horse, and left through the back door.
Xie Jia's current appearance is too terrifying. Whenever he sees her, he can't help but think of her bloody face. It would be better not to see her.
Not long after he rode out of the city, a group of people found him.
After Xie Xin looked at the token the other party took out and confirmed that they were people arranged by Duke Cheng'en, he followed them out of the capital and embarked on an unknown future.
Xiangxiang made herself as small as possible, sticking to the inside of Xie Xin's clothes, quietly absorbing Xie Xin's vitality.
Because of Xiangxiang's sneak attack, Xie Xin felt sore and weak all over after riding for a while and wanted to dismount and rest.
"Wait, I can't take it anymore, stop and rest for a while!"
The people who were traveling with him looked at him one after another. Seeing that he was out of breath and looked like a tired and useless young man, they felt a little disgusted.
But because of his status, he had to stop and rest.
Xiangxiang didn't dare to continue making trouble.
Xie Ying told it to follow Xie Xin and see where these people would go. It didn't dare suck Xie Xin to death on the way, causing the mission to fail.
After resting for a while, Xie Xin was urged to hit the road. Although he still felt a little sore all over, seeing that the other party did not seem to be a good person, he had no choice but to hit the road obediently.
After riding for only a short while, he became too tired again and asked to rest again.
This time it wasn't Xiangxiang who was causing trouble, but he hadn't rested enough, so he naturally couldn't keep running for long.
Moreover, although he could ride a horse, he was just a weak scholar after all, and his physical fitness was far inferior to those of the martial artists.
In this way, the group walked and stopped, and not only Xie Xin was tortured, but the people escorting him were also furious - they had never escorted such a useless young man!
Because Xie Xin acted so useless, the group even started to feel a bit resentful towards Lord Cheng En - why would they be escorting such a useless person when there are so many other people to escort?
What use is such a pretty but useless person? Just because they have a good background, they have to protect them carefully. It's such an unfair world!
