After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Chapter 204: Catching a Turtle in a Jar, Xie Family's Second Master

The show at Yong'an Marquis's Mansion hasn't ended yet, and the guests are all here...

It’s not that they didn’t want to leave, but just an hour ago, people from the palace led troops to guard the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

The purpose was to capture the wanted criminals of the imperial court.

As everyone knows, the Regent has been arresting the remaining eunuchs all over the city recently. So the so-called imperial criminal at this time must be related to the eunuch party. Lin Xun doesn't know which unlucky family to attack.

Xiao Yi's face didn't look good...

He knew that whenever Lin Xun appeared, something bad happened!

Although the people in the troupe were uneasy, they thought that it was a national affair of Dayin after all and had nothing to do with them. Since the people had been taken out and the mission had been completed, they didn't need to provoke this madman Lin Xun.

Everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts; those who were performing and those who were listening were all absent-minded; amidst the din of string and bamboo music, one could actually hear a sense of impending storm.

The first person who couldn't sit still was the smooth-talking owner of the opera troupe among the ladies.

She looked to be about forty years old, with an ordinary appearance, but her eyes were extremely beautiful, and her glance was bright and shining, adding a bit of radiance to her pretty face.

But at this moment she was vaguely uneasy, and left the table under the pretext of changing clothes. For a moment, everyone's attention was on those noble families, and with Aunt Liu and Ye Jin covering for her, no one noticed.

The troupe leader seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of the marquis' mansion. He nimbly avoided the guards' sight and went straight to the back door of the mansion.

The wall at the back door was very low. She looked around and saw no one was paying attention. She leaped up like a nimble bird and flew out...

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared and kicked her down!

The class leader was horrified and spat out blood. The next moment, she was surrounded by guards.

The guards dispersed, and her pupils shrank...

The leader was none other than Xiao Yu, the son of Marquis Yong'an!

"The prince has issued an order that everyone in the mansion can only enter but not leave. Didn't the class master hear it?"

Now that it fell into Xiao Yu's hands, she knew something was wrong and many thoughts flashed through her mind at once.

But just as she was about to move, a knife was placed on her neck. She did not dare to act rashly for a moment. She stared at Xiao Yu with indignation and said, "We are just trying to make a living. We have never committed any crime. Why don't you powerful people even give us a way out? Why do you bully us by taking advantage of your power?"

"Oh, what a good way to put the blame on someone else."

If Xiao Yu had been the upright person in the past, he would definitely be shaken by this woman's high-sounding words. After all, the other party was the weak one.

But Xiao Yu has experienced two lives and has become much more mature. The moral kidnapping that whoever is weaker is right does not work for her at all.

"If you are from Xingxue Tower and are innocent, why did you run away just now? Moreover, in all these years of traveling around the country, I have never seen an ordinary troupe of actors with such great skills. Who are you..."

At this time, a guard said: "Sir, the skin color of this woman's face is different from her neck. She has changed her appearance."

Xiao Yu's expression changed, and he reached out to take off her human skin mask...

"stop!"

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yi and his men hurried over. Seeing that Xiao Yu's men had injured the troupe leader, a trace of heartache flashed through his eyes, and then he sullenly scolded, "Evil boy, what are you doing?"

Xiao Yu replied expressionlessly: "Bring people to catch the scoundrels."

Xiao Yi once again looked at the woman surrounded by Xiao Yu's guards, and he was so angry that he ordered directly: "Let her go."

Xiao Yu sneered and said, "Father, this woman is very suspicious. I want to hand her over to the prince."

Xiao Yi said firmly, "She is not the person the Regent is looking for. Let her go, and I will naturally give an explanation to the Regent."

Seeing that Xiao Yu did not move, Xiao Yi's expression became even colder, and he said with pressure: "Xiao Yu, you are now openly disobeying my orders. Are you going against your father?"

Xiao Yu instinctively bent down and apologized: "My son doesn't dare."

Xiao Yi sneered: "Don't forget, you are just the prince of a mere marquisate. It is not your turn to make the decisions in Yong'an Marquisate."

"You are nothing but a prince of a marquisate." In an instant, the scene at this moment seemed to overlap with that of more than ten years ago.

But back then, he was standing in Xiao Yu's position...

And now, he looked down at his son, who was much shorter than him, and felt a subtle pleasure in the change of destiny and the power in his hands.

For a moment, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yi were in a stalemate, and the troops on both sides were also on the verge of a fight, neither of them giving in...

At this moment, a voice was heard saying, "Isn't she the person the Regent is looking for? Then I want to see who she is."

Xiao Yi's eyelids jumped, and Xiao Yu's eyes lit up with joy, saying, "Mother, you are here..."

It turned out to be Xie and Aunt Su who came with a large group of people. She helped Xiao Yu up, looked at Xiao Yi coldly and said, "The Marquis is becoming more and more romantic now. How come he has to be gentle with even the women in the opera troupe who are of the lowest class and have already aged and become old?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Yi and the troupe owner on the ground both looked extremely ugly!

Xiao Yi angrily scolded: "Xie Siwan, you are now speaking as vulgarly as a street shrew. Look at you now. Where is the demeanor of a mistress of the house? How could the Xie family raise such a despicable woman like you? If I had known earlier, I should not have married you..."

Even though Xie's mentality had become much tougher, Xiao Yi, who had slept in the same bed with her for more than 20 years, these harsh words were like poisoned arrows directly piercing her soft spot.

It was not known whether it was out of anger or hatred, but Xie's face turned pale in an instant. If it were not for Aunt Su and Xiao Yu supporting her, she would have fainted.

"Oh, Lord, are you really old and forgetful now?"

"The marriage between the Xie and Xiao families was arranged by the old marquis himself. You swore a solemn oath in front of the three of us brothers before marrying Siwan. More than 20 years have passed. Siwan has given birth to children for your mansion and has devoted all her efforts. But you, Xiao Yi, are so ungrateful and heartless!"

As the words fell, a man in black appeared in the yard.

The man was tall and sturdy with a beard, but he had a pair of passionate and romantic peach blossom eyes. He appeared in front of everyone like a small mountain.

"Second brother!"

"Second uncle!"

After the two joyful voices, Xiao Yi looked at the man who suddenly appeared in the backyard with a complicated expression...

"Xie Leifeng?!"

No one expected that the person who was ordered to go to the capital was not the elegant and knowledgeable eldest son of the Xie family, Xie Shuanghong, nor the wise and cunning third son of the Xie family, Xie Xuehe, but the second master of the Xie family, Xie Leiying, who had the most violent temper and was the only one in the Xie family who learned martial arts.

Back then, because Xie had a difficult delivery, Xie Leifeng almost slapped Xiao Yi to death with two palms, leaving an indelible psychological trauma in Xiao Yi's heart.

Unexpectedly, he actually came to Beijing!
