As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall became tense.

Master Xia lowered his head and did not dare to say a word. However, he was very sure in his heart that his words would definitely make Xie Yan relax his vigilance and even stop doubting him.

This matter was done by Xia Weiwei from beginning to end and had nothing to do with him at all.

However, Yue Ming pushed the two of them up.

Seeing these two people, Mr. Xia's expression changed drastically.

Butler Xia and Mrs. Xia had been standing in the hall, but their figures were obscured by the screen.

The moment he saw Butler Xia and Mrs. Xia, Mr. Xia had already prepared a plan and was pushed back. He stared at the two people who appeared in front of him, wanting to say something, but in the end he failed because of Madam Xia's hateful eyes were forced to swallow.

Seeing the panic on Mr. Xia's face, Mrs. Xia smiled proudly: "Xia Zhiyuan! You didn't expect it, did you? We can still meet this day!"

Mr. Xia squeezed his hands tightly, unwilling to answer Mrs. Xia's words no matter what.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Xia's hatred became more and more obvious.

She stared at Mr. Xia fiercely and said word by word: "I have never seen a man as ruthless as you! You actually regard our biological daughter as your scapegoat!"

"Just wait!" Mrs. Xia hated Master Xia so much that she said sternly, "Today is the day you die!"

Mr. Xia was in a state of confusion, but his excellent qi-nurturing skills kept his face from wavering at all.

"Madam, I know you resent me for raising a foreign wife, but I have always been a fatherly heart towards Weiwei!" Mr. Xia sighed softly as he spoke, "You should know that no matter how much I have outside, Woman, but to me, you are always my wife!"

"Madam! Why are you doing this?" Mr. Xia sighed repeatedly, looking at Madam Xia with a very tolerant look, "Madam, if you find your way back, I will plead with His Highness and use the achievements of our Xia family in exchange for you. …”

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Xia's voice suddenly became sharp, "When did I care about those outer rooms of yours?"

"I only have one daughter, Weiwei! I will never watch Weiwei being framed by you!" After saying this, Mrs. Xia made a "plop" and knelt down heavily in front of Xie Yan and Gu Ning.

"Your Highness! Princess!" Mrs. Xia said, kowtowing to the two of them, "Xia Zhiyuan wanted Weiwei to enter the middle palace, so he instigated Weiwei to do such evil deeds!"

"Weiwei is just a weak woman raised in a boudoir. Even if she really has such evil thoughts, it is absolutely impossible for her to have the ability to let these rumors spread throughout the capital in just a few days!"

"Your Highness and Princess, please be clear about it! Although Weiwei is at fault, Xia Zhiyuan is the one who deserved the most damn!" Mrs. Xia pointed at Xia Zhiyuan bitterly, the resentment in her eyes almost turned into reality, "Weiwei was just raped by a villain like Xia Zhiyuan. People are deceived!”

"Madam!" Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Xia Zhiyuan immediately shouted away Madam Xia, "Don't forget your identity! Weiwei made a mistake, just let her repay it!"

"Are you going to let our entire Xia family be buried with Weiwei alone?" Xia Zhiyuan saw that Mrs. Xia was still unable to persuade him, so he stepped up and said, "And your Wu family!"

"If something happens to the Xia family! The Wu family won't be able to escape either!" Xia Zhiyuan said these words in Mrs. Xia's ear.

Mrs. Xia opened her eyes wide in disbelief, stared at Xia Zhiyuan and cursed fiercely: "Shameless!"

Xia Zhiyuan's face was filled with saliva, but even so, he still did not let go of Mrs. Xia's hand.

No matter what, Xia Weiwei can only bear this crime!

Xia Zhiyuan's eyes were extremely cruel, but only Mrs. Xia who was opposite him could see it.

Mrs. Xia clenched her hands tightly and looked directly at Xia Zhiyuan with eyes filled with hatred.

When the two were in a stalemate, Xie Yan suddenly said: "Mrs. Xia, don't worry."

Madam Xia raised her head in surprise, and saw Xie Yan's voice was steady, saying word for word: "This matter is very involved. Even if there is a punishment, it will be for the mastermind behind it. As for the other accomplices... punishment will never hurt their lives."

Mr. Xia's face was ashen, but Mrs. Xia's eyes burst out with a dazzling light.

She immediately said: "Your Highness! The guilty woman is willing to swear on her life! The initiator of this matter is Xia Zhiyuan! It was Xia Zhiyuan who was behind it! He spread the little girl's jokes throughout the entire capital!"

Even at this time, Mrs. Xia still wanted to help Xia Weiwei hide it.

Xie Yan did not believe this, but Mrs. Xia's testimony was enough to make Xia Zhiyuan's expression change drastically.

Then, there is Butler Xia.

As a son of the Xia family and given the surname Xia by his master, Butler Xia has always been Xia Zhiyuan's loyal confidant.

However, after Mrs. Xia finished speaking, he quickly stood up and said word by word: "Your Highness, this old slave can also testify!"

"Not only that, the old slave also has evidence!"

When Butler Xia spoke, he tremblingly took out the things he had prepared.

Lord Xia was looking at Butler Xia, and he only saw the pieces of letter paper in Butler Xia's hands, and the marks on them were something he must be familiar with - his own personal seals.

"Xia Shi! I treat you badly!" Mr. Xia said angrily, "Why do you hate me so much?"

As he spoke, Mr. Xia suddenly burst into laughter. He pointed at Xia Zhiyuan and gritted his teeth and said, "I know! You two adulterers and sluts!"

"You must have been flirting with each other for a long time! Only then did you join forces to frame me!" Mr. Xia muttered, his eyes filled with hatred.

Seeing Mr. Xia lose his composure, Xie Yan's handsome face was filled with frost: "Xia Zhiyuan, the witnesses and physical evidence are all there, what other explanation do you have?"

Master Xia looked dejected and wanted to say something, but all he saw was Xie Yan's ruthless phoenix eyes.

His energy quickly weakened, his lips parted slightly, he stared at Guan Xia's house and said, "I just don't understand something."

"Xia Shi, I treat you well and treat you as a confidant." Master Xia said this and smiled bitterly, "Where did I offend you to let you treat me like this?"

Hearing this, Butler Xia's face full of traces of time showed a trace of murderous intent.

He chuckled a few times and said, "My whole family has been ruined by you, and you still have the nerve to say you treat me badly?"

"My daughter-in-law, who was over [-] years old, was just a bit pretty, so she was snatched away by you. My son was beaten into a disability by your men just because he wanted his wife back."

"I have a good family, but my wife and children are separated!" Butler Xia said this, staring at Mr. Xia with eyes full of resentment, "And you actually said that you treat me well!"

"I have grown up with many children and now only me and my disabled son are left! Tell me! Are you treating me badly?"

Butler Xia stared at Mr. Xia resentfully. Yue Ming didn't pay attention. He rushed forward and pinched Mr. Xia's neck fiercely. "

Mr. Xia's face was red, but Butler Xia showed no mercy at all. He just wanted to strangle the man in front of him to death so that he could pay homage to the souls of his relatives in heaven.

"Stop him!" Xie Yan said in a deep voice.

Yue Ming and Yue Rong immediately stepped forward, and both of them escorted Butler Xia behind them.

Butler Xia's eyes were red, and the eyes staring at Mr. Xia were still filled with hatred.

"Your Highness! You promised me! You said you would make him pay with blood!" Butler Xia turned his head and stared at Xie Yan.

Xie Yan nodded slightly: "Of course I want him to pay with blood, but now is not the time."

Butler Xia hesitated: "Why?"

"Don't ask so many questions." Yue Ming said angrily, "His Royal Highness is the future emperor. He keeps his word, so how can he lie to you?"

Gu Ning also looked at Xie Yan at this moment.

"What are your plans?"

"Kill chickens to scare monkeys."

Xie Yan's voice was calm.

Since the purpose is to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, it is natural to do it in front of everyone.

Mr. Xia was held on the ground, his face was squeezed out of shape.

At this time, he seemed to be aware of Xie Yan's next move, and his whole body started to tremble.

He was so frightened that there were already yellow water stains under his body.

"I am the head of the Xia family!" Master Xia's teeth chattered up and down, but he managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Your Highness! Aren't you afraid of chilling the family's heart by doing this?"

Hearing this, a very cold smile appeared on Xie Yan's cold and handsome face.

"You have repeatedly trampled on Gu's bottom line, but have you ever thought about whether it would chill Gu's heart?"

"It's just a woman..." Mr. Xia struggled to squeeze out a sentence, "Are you really going to make enemies of all the aristocratic families for the sake of a woman?"

"So what?" Xie Yan stood up, his tall figure like an insurmountable mountain, making Master Xia feel in a trance.

At this moment, Xie Yan's voice seemed to come from afar: "Who do you think you are?"

Each of these aristocratic families in the capital was an accomplice of the deposed emperor. That is to say, these aristocratic families were thick-skinned and had high self-esteem, so they continued to go their own way after the deposed emperor died.

But they misjudged the person. He was not the deposed emperor, so naturally he would not be controlled by aristocratic families like the deposed emperor.

On the contrary, the aristocratic family is under his control. If there are some who jump too high or are disobedient, he will naturally pull them out to avoid further trouble.

Master Xia raised his head hard and looked at Xie Yan's expression.

However, he couldn't see a trace of hesitation on Xie Yan's face - just as Xie Yan said, he had indeed never taken these aristocratic families seriously.

"What's more, as the minister of Guanglu Temple, you have embezzled 10 taels of silver in the past ten years." Xie Yan said coldly, "Death is not a pity."

Master Xia's body trembled again, but before he could speak, Yue Rong and Yue Ming stepped forward quickly and twisted him away from the Tai Chi Hall with extremely strong movements.

Mrs. Xia and Butler Xia also left with the Forbidden Army. They wanted to see Mr. Xia's head fall to the ground with their own eyes.

There were only two people in the hall, Xie Yan and Gu Ning.

The moment Xie Yan saw Gu Ning, the guilt in his heart quickly emerged.

He gently held Gu Ning's hands and carefully rubbed the back of Gu Ning's hands. He wanted to say something, but he repeatedly stopped in front of his lips.

Seeing this, Gu Ning withdrew his hand angrily.

"I haven't settled with you yet!"

She stared at Xie Yan angrily.

When Xie Yan heard this, he knew that Gu Ning was still angry about that incident.

As expected, Gu Ning snorted: "Am I such a fragile person in your eyes? Can't even withstand the wind and rain? They are just rumors. When did I put these words in my heart?"

"Xie Yan, you underestimate me too much!"

Gu Ning said a series of words, and Xie Yan could only nod.

He whispered: "Ning'er, it's my fault."

"It's your fault!" Gu Ning gritted his teeth and refused to look at Xie Yan's pitiful expression, "You have to hide these things from me!"

"Then if you have a woman outside in the future, wouldn't you also have to hide it from me?"

Gu Ning spoke indiscriminately when she was angry, but when she realized what she was doing, she quickly covered her mouth.

It didn't matter how much she argued with Xie Yan, but she had to believe Xie Yan.

otherwise……

The ambergris on the man's body was faint and smelled very good.

When Xie Yan stepped forward, this was the only thought in Gu Ning's mind.

But the next moment, there was a tingling sensation on her lips.

Xie Yan's eyes were almost cannibalistic. Gu Ning had no choice but to close her eyes, move closer to Xie Yan, and whispered: "Be gentle!"

Hearing this, Xie Yan smiled softly, and the deep laughter echoed in Gu Ning's ears.

"Ning'er, in three days, it will be our wedding day."

Gu Ning grunted a few times, but Xie Yan swallowed it again.

At this time of the thank-you banquet, how could there be anything dignified about it?

Gu Ning felt like she couldn't breathe smoothly.
