Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Xie Chengyi sat on the ground in a daze, Xie Chengyin stood aside in deep thought, Sanchi and Qicun saw that their two masters did not react, and they were at a loss for a moment.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise at the door, and then a group of people rushed in, led by Prime Minister Xiao Chengzhang.

As soon as he arrived, he rushed straight to the bridal chamber. Seeing only a pair of ruins left, he widened his eyes in amazement and said, "What happened? Why was there such a big fire? Where is my daughter? Where is the Marquis of Yongding?"

None of the servants in the Marquis' Mansion dared to say a word. They all hung their heads, because their master hadn't spoken, so how could they dare to speak? Besides, they didn't know why they got so angry.

But in the eyes of Xiao Chengzhang, who had ulterior motives, their appearance seemed like they were so sad that they were speechless.

Xiao Chengzhang was delighted, but his face became even more sad. Tears welled up in his eyes and he began to cry bitterly, "My daughter, Marquis Yongding, how could you leave like this? You made me, an old man, send your young daughter off!"

Xie Chengyin looked over coldly. If he hadn't been reborn once, he would have been really moved by Xiao Chengzhang's behavior.

Wasn't it like this in his previous life? His brother and Xiao Yizhui died in the sea of ​​fire together. He was heartbroken. Looking at Xiao Chengzhang who was also extremely sad because of the loss of his loved ones, he seemed to have found his belonging and trusted him without hesitation.

Little did he know that all this was his trap.

He is just crying wolf, showing false compassion.

But in this life, not only will he not be deceived by him, but he will also expose his mask.

Xie Chengyin sneered and walked up to Xiao Chengzhang, "Prime Minister Xiao, you are crying for the wrong reason."

Xiao Chengzhang looked at Xie Chengyin, who didn't shed a single tear, with a slightly stunned expression. Before he had time to think about it, he was attracted by what he said, "What do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is, you can just cry for your daughter, but my brother doesn't need you to cry."

Xiao Chengzhang thought that Xie Chengyin was too sad and was losing his temper because he didn't want to believe the news of Xie Chengyi's death, so he didn't intend to argue with him. He raised his hand and patted Xie Chengyin's shoulder and said, "Chengyin, I know you are sad that your brother is gone. I am sad too. I thought that my daughter would marry your brother and they would live happily together, but I didn't expect that they would both die."

As he spoke, his eyes turned red again. Several officials following Xiao Chengzhang also comforted him, "Prime Minister, please accept my condolences."

Xie Chengyin reached out and pushed away Xiao Chengzhang's hand on his shoulder, and said coldly: "Prime Minister Xiao, you are wrong again. I am not sad at all, on the contrary, I am very happy."

Xiao Chengzhang pointed at Xie Chengyin and said, "You...you, you are a traitor. You are not sad about your brother's death. I think you set the fire. You have disliked my daughter for a long time. I didn't expect that in order to kill my daughter, you would not even let your own brother go."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around looked at Xie Chengyin with accusatory eyes, as if they were looking at an unforgivable sinner.

Haha, you really know how to take the blame.

"I'm a traitor? I think you're talking nonsense. How can you say that I set the fire? What evidence do you have?"

Xie Chengyin was very confident and acted as if this matter would not be over unless you could produce evidence.

Xiao Chengzhang didn't expect Xie Chengyin to be so stubborn. No one had ever dared to talk to him like that. He was immediately furious. "You bastard, you are still quibbling. You want evidence, right? The body of the Marquis of Yongding is the evidence. You coveted the title of the Marquis of Yongding. You knew that your brother would have children after getting married, and the title would have nothing to do with you. So you killed him. Once your brother died, the entire Marquis of Yongding's mansion would be yours."

"Hahaha," Xie Chengyin laughed up to the sky, "What you said seems to make a lot of sense. I've always been called Little Marquis Xie. To put it nicely, I'm Little Marquis. To put it bluntly, the title has nothing to do with me. It will be different once my brother dies. I can immediately become Marquis Yongding."

Xiao Chengzhang stared at Xie Chengyin, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "See, you are speaking your mind now."

"Yeah, since you think my brother's body is evidence, then conversely, if there is no body, there is no evidence?"

Xiao Chengzhang showed a look of extreme shock on his face, "You are going to destroy the body, he is your own brother!"

Xie Chengyin sneered, "Prime Minister Xiao, you are really imaginative. Actually, I just want to tell you that your plan has failed. My brother is not dead. As for what you said about me being a traitor and trying to seize the title, none of it counts."

"impossible!"

Xiao Chengzhang's heart was filled with alarm bells, and he realized that some facts seemed to have deviated from the predetermined track.

"What's impossible!"

A frighteningly familiar voice rang in everyone's ears, and everyone looked towards that person.

Xie Chengyi has been in a daze since being pulled out of the fire by Xie Chengyin. He was shocked by what Xiao Yizhui said and could not accept Xiao Yizhui's death, so he has been sitting in a corner of the ruins.

Smoke and fire snakes burned Xie Chengyi's clothes were tattered and he sat there in the dark, not being noticed by anyone for a while.

When he came to his senses and spoke, everyone finally recognized that the person who had never entered their sight was Marquis Yongding.

What Xiao Chengzhang had just said became a joke in an instant.

But Xiao Chengzhang reacted very quickly, and his expression changed as soon as his mind turned, "The Marquis is fine, then what about my daughter Yizhu? Is she okay too? Take me to see her."

Xie Chengyin walked to his brother, secretly squeezed Xie Chengyi's clenched fist, and said to Xiao Chengzhang: "Your daughter is indeed dead."

Everyone was surprised, and looked at each other, then looked at Xiao Chengzhang's expression.

Xiao Chengzhang didn't expect that Xie Chengyi didn't die, but his daughter died instead. Thinking of Xie Chengyin's provocative words just now, he suddenly became angry.

"Xie Chengyi, I married my daughter to you because I hoped you would love and protect her, but you killed her on the wedding day. Xie Chengyi, return my daughter's life to me!"

As he said this, he rushed straight towards Xie Chengyi.

Xie Chengyi neither dodged nor evaded. Just as Xiao Chengzhang was about to attack Xie Chengyi, Sanchi appeared in front of him and grabbed Xiao Chengzhang's wrist fiercely.

Although Xiao Chengzhang was a civil servant, a gentleman was proficient in the Six Arts. He was not only familiar with poetry, books, rites and the Book of Changes, but also knew how to ride horses and shoot arrows. However, he never showed it in front of others.

When his wrist was suddenly grabbed, Xiao Chengzhang was stunned for a moment, then he fiercely shook off the three-foot restraint.

"How dare you!" He seemed a little angry and embarrassed, looking at the Xie Chengyin brothers who were standing side by side with deep fear in his eyes.

The way things had turned out was completely beyond his expectations.

The person who deserved to die did not die, and the military power that he wanted to seize also became a bubble. It would be difficult to explain to the people in the palace.

Xiao Chengzhang's mind was filled with power and scheming, and he didn't care at all that his daughter died innocently because of his scheme.

But, at this time, he should be a loving father who has lost his daughter.
