The farce outside the Marquis's mansion is coming to an end.

As soon as the clan leader finished speaking, Xiao Qian's knees went weak and he almost fell to his knees.

He was just saying it casually. Why did his cousin put such a big blame on him? Did he think he didn't die fast enough?

At this time Xiao Qian also understood that the clan members saw that the eldest branch and the others were in trouble, so they wanted to curry favor with Xiao Yu and her two sons!

Xiao Qian was angry, but the clan leader did not indulge him. Instead, he carefully handed the letter to Lin Xun...

"Your Majesty, the criminal Xiao Yi has been expelled from the clan. Please preserve the title of Yong'an Marquisate for the old marquis' loyalty to the country and his rebuke of the eunuch party at the risk of his life to maintain the emperor's prestige."

The reason why the Xiao family has been able to remain prominent until now is naturally due to the titles of the main branch; if the Yong'an Marquisate is stripped of its title, the Xiao family will no longer be glorious and its future will be unpredictable.

Therefore, even though Patriarch Xiao knew that this was a trap set by Xiao Xuetang from the beginning, for the sake of the descendants of the Xiao family, he had to jump into this trap willingly!

Thinking of this, Chief Xiao couldn't help but feel a little complicated, and he sighed for the hundredth time today...

How come such a ruthless character came out of their Xiao family?

However, Xiao Yu did not expect that Xiao Xuetang had not only thought of Xie's retreat, but had also thought of his own retreat. The guilt in his heart surged like a tide, and for a moment even the corners of his eyes turned red.

He wanted to say something several times, but Xiao Xuetang didn't even look at him. Instead, he whispered something to Lin Xun, and Lin Xun put the letter away.

It is obvious that Lin Xun has decided to protect this marquis's mansion!

Xiao Qian's eyes were clearly filled with dissatisfaction. His eyes were rolling around. It was clear that he was more interested in the title of succession than Xie's dowry...

But Xiao Xuetang knew that Xiao Qian was ambitious, so how could she give him the opportunity to stir up trouble again?

At this moment, the next moment, he took away Qi Yusheng who was late.

"Tsk, I missed out on the excitement, but now I have to arrest someone again."

Qi Yusheng yawned and complained, but his pair of shining phoenix eyes were looking at Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun...

How could they be so close to each other in public?

It's totally indecent, totally indecent!

Xiao Qian stumbled a few steps after being caught, and then he reacted and shouted loudly: "I haven't broken any law, why are you arresting me?"

"Second Master Xiao, please come with us to the Inspection Office."

Hearing this, Xiao Qian was shocked: "I didn't break any law, why did you arrest me?"

Qi Yusheng glanced behind Xiao Qian and said with a half-smile, "You'll have to ask your concubine about that."

Xiao Qian stared blankly at Aunt Liu behind him...

The next moment, the originally weak Concubine Liu suddenly changed her expression and injured Xiao Qian with a palm. Amid the exclamations of the crowd, she grabbed Xiao Xuetang who was close at hand and put a golden hairpin against her throat, threatening: "Let me go, or I will kill her!"

The accident happened in a flash...

Xie was so frightened that her legs went limp. She cried, "You... don't hurt my daughter. If you let her go, I'll give you all my dowry!"

Aunt Liu sneered, not even looking at Mrs. Xie, and just said to Lin Xun: "Prince Regent, I know she is very important to you. Prepare a fast horse and some silver for me. I want to leave the city overnight."

Lin Xun was wearing a mask and his expression could not be seen clearly, but when he looked at her with such deep gaze, Aunt Liu couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

She didn't want to provoke Lin Xun, but they had already captured Madam Nan, and she must not fall into the hands of the people from the Inspection Office!

"Where do you want to go if you want silver and horses? Southern Xinjiang? Or the Tianxuan Sect?"

"Shut up!"

Aunt Liu tightened her grip on Xiao Xuetang's neck, a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes, and she wanted to make a cut on Xiao Xuetang's neck to teach her a lesson.

only……

Suddenly, she felt her hand holding the hairpin go numb as if it was pricked by a needle, and with a "bang", the hairpin fell to the ground. Seeing this, a guard immediately stepped forward and pressed her acupuncture points.

Aunt Liu covered her arm. Xiao Xuetang, who looked weak and frightened, seemed to have no idea what was going on. "You, you actually know how to use poison?"

No, that's impossible!

No one knew that Aunt Liu had been hiding a secret - her family was a follower of the Southern Xinjiang Tianxuan Sect!

Aunt Liu has been gifted since childhood and is good at using poison. She likes to grow poisonous flowers and plants. Ordinary poisons have no effect on her at all.

Unless he is a poison expert in the Tianxuan Sect.

Then Xiao Xuetang...

When Aunt Liu looked at Xiao Xuetang, a strange look suddenly appeared in her eyes.

When being taken away by the people from the Detective Bureau, Aunt Liu did not struggle anymore. Instead, she lowered her voice and asked Xiao Xuetang in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Xiao Xuetang, who taught you how to make poison? And why did the poison and soul-stealing technique from Southern Xinjiang have no effect on you during the family recognition banquet?"

Xiao Xuetang was startled and asked subconsciously: "What do you mean?"

She can use poison, naturally, poison and medicine are inseparable, she is just gifted, but why...

But before Xiao Xuetang could figure out what was going on, Aunt Liu and Xiao Qian had already been taken away by the people from the Inspection Office.

Xiao Qian was still struggling: "I don't know what Southern Xinjiang is. Why did you arrest me?"

Qi Yusheng still smiled: "Second Master, don't worry. If you really have nothing to do with Southern Xinjiang, the Inspection Office will naturally keep you safe. If you know about it but don't report it... think about the fate of the former Yong'an Marquis."

Xiao Qian shuddered and his face changed suddenly!

Xie and Xie Leifeng were still staring at Xiao Xuetang in amazement, apparently having not yet reacted to this series of unexpected events.

At first, they only saw the usually weak Aunt Liu suddenly attack Xiao Xuetang, and then somehow Aunt Liu was subdued.

The first person to come back to his senses was Xiao Yu. He guessed that Xiao Xuetang deliberately used himself as bait to lure Aunt Liu into action, so that the people from the Inspection Office could directly capture Aunt Liu red-handed.

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Xuetang and sighed, "You are too reckless. What if she hurts you?"

Lin Xun nodded secretly, and he also disagreed with Xiao Xuetang's disregard for his safety.

But facing Xiao Xuetang's pleading eyes, Lin Xun still defended her without any principles, "She also knows she is wrong, so please don't blame her, Master Xiao."

Xiao Yu...

Why did he have an ominous premonition that Xiao Xuetang would act even more unscrupulously with Lin Xun's support?

But with so many things happening today, Xiao Yu's main task now is to settle Xie's family and return to the Xie family...

Xiao Yu turned around, looked at Xie and said, "Mother, I will escort you back first."

Xie looked at Xiao Xuetang, twisting the handkerchief in her hand nervously, and asked, "Tangtang, what about you?"

She looked at Xiao Xuetang, her eyes filled with a glimmer of hope.

She hoped to start a new life after leaving the Marquis' Mansion, restore her mother-daughter relationship with Xiao Xuetang, and make up for what she owed her over the years.

Xie's thoughts were written all over her face. Xiao Xuetang frowned slightly and said impatiently, "I still have some things to do. I'll come to you when I'm done."

After all, the Marquis' Mansion is holding a very important person...

This is also what she promised Lin Xun!
