What do you mean? Brother Xu Si is taking the credit from his eldest brother?
As soon as Liang Xiuyuan said these words, even a fool understood the meaning, and Xie Ruizhi's expression suddenly changed.
Those usually clear and pure black eyes were filled with doubts, and suddenly they fell on Xu Zian, his eyes were extremely cold.
Xu Zian was already frightened by Xie Jinyan's torment, but now that he was exposed again, he felt even more guilty.
Seeing Xie Ruizhi staring at him like that, he panicked even more. He quickly waved his hands and retorted to Xie Ruizhi with a tearful voice, "Sixth Princess, don't listen to his nonsense."
"He must be... he must be helping my eldest brother who is a concubine to deceive you, princess. Princess, you also know that my eldest brother is just the daughter of a peasant woman and his character has always been very despicable. Why was he expelled that day?
You have also heard of this, how can you believe what comes from the mouth of such a person?"
"That's right, Sixth Princess, you can't believe the words of a lowly concubine!" Xu Fengxia also joined in to help. While speaking, she sneered coldly at Xu Xingzhi and said contemptuously, "Xu Xingzhi, you are like this
Damn it, your aunt took advantage of my father's drunkenness to have you. My mother, for your sake, did not punish him and raised you as her own child. But what about you? You not only stole the jewelry from home
You went to sell it off, and now you dare to pretend to be the princess’s savior!”
"Xu Xingzhi, the crime of deceiving the emperor will be beheaded! Not to mention you, even your aunt will be implicated by you!"
Xu Fengxia raised her voice, her mouth was slurred, but her eyes were fierce.
It seems that he is complaining about Xu Zian, but in fact he is threatening Xu Xingzhi, threatening him with Xu Xingzhi's own mother, hoping that he will admit that he pretended to be Xu Zian's reputation for saving the princess.
She thought that when Xu Zian stole things from home and sold them, she and her mother used Aunt Qiao to threaten Xu Xingzhi, so Xu Xingzhi confessed the crime on Xu Zian's behalf.
As long as Aunt Qiao is still in their hands, Xu Xingzhi is not only climbing up to the eldest grandson of Prince Ning, but he is climbing up to the current emperor, which is not at their mercy.
Thinking of this, Xu Fengxia couldn't help but show a proud look on her face. She asked Xu Xingzhi again fiercely and cursed, "Tell me, did you deliberately frame your fourth brother again?"
Xu Fengxia was full of confidence, thinking that Xu Xingzhi would definitely bear the blame. Xu Zian and Xu Fengxia looked at each other, and immediately changed their faces, and said confidently, "Xu Xingzhi, I really don't understand what grudge I have against you.
, you want to frame me again and again, even if you are expelled from the Xu family, you still won’t give up! Do you know that because of your incident, Aunt Qiao is very angry! Do you want her life?
"
He looked angry, as if he had been wronged.
However, the look in Xu Xingzhi's eyes was filled with pride, as if he was waiting for Xu Xingzhi to confess his crime.
Unfortunately, this time, Xu Xingzhi, who had always been cowardly, did not let them manipulate him as he did before.
He snorted coldly, with a hint of coldness on his handsome and heroic face, and said neither yin nor yang, "Eldest sister, fourth brother, what do you mean by winking at me and mentioning my aunt repeatedly? You want to use my aunt to threaten you.
Me, you asked me to bear the responsibility for your fourth brother again, right? What? I was responsible for stealing things, and now I am responsible for Li Daitao's mistakes? "
"Am I responsible for the secret meeting between Xu Zian and Qiu Kui and the conspiracy to destroy the princess' innocence?"
"I tell you Xu Zian, I will never be threatened by you again! Whatever you did is what you did! If you pretended to be me, you pretended to be me!"
Unlike Xu Zian, who is thin and thin, Xu Xingzhi has a tall figure and a heroic appearance. In addition, he has been following Liang Xiuyuan in battles all year round, and there is an air of violence all over his body. The kind of violence that comes from the bloody battlefield is now angry.
Come, there is a strong sense of oppression all over the body that no strangers can enter.
At this moment, Yu Qingwu felt a little out of breath.
Not to mention the Xu family brother and sister, the two were so frightened that they backed away and barely hugged each other.
"You...what are you talking nonsense about? It's obviously you who is pretending to be me!" Xu Zian was trembling, but still spoke harshly.
Seeing this, Xu Fengxia wanted to interrupt again.
Seeing that the two siblings were dragging their feet and trying to fight to the death, Xie Jinyan had already lost his patience.
Before Xu Fengxia could speak again, he interrupted Xu Zian in a cold voice and angrily said, "Okay Xu Zian, you can go home and take care of your own family affairs."
"I just want to ask, when and where did you rescue the Sixth Princess?"
"Your Highness, I have already said it. It has been too long and I cannot remember clearly." Xu Zian still spoke harshly, but his eyes became more and more guilty.
Seeing that he still refused to admit his guilt, Xie Jinyan was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. He just looked at Xu Xingzhi aside and asked solemnly, "Xu Xingzhi, tell me how you rescued the Sixth Princess from the bandits that day."
Compared to Xu Zian, Xu Xingzhi seemed extremely calm.
He stepped forward and gave Xu Zian a salute, then gave Xu Zian a cold look, and replied, "Back to your Royal Highness, about four years ago, I was slandered by Xu Zian for stealing the family's jewelry, and was expelled from the mansion by my father. I had nowhere to go, so I
I was thinking about going to the north to join the army. On my way to the north, I passed by Qiyan Mountain and happened to meet a little girl calling for help. I looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in green clothes being beaten by a gang.
The bandit covered his head and immediately gave chase."
"But soon, I thought that I might not be able to save the girl with my own strength, so I followed them all the way to the stronghold. When I entered, the owner of the stronghold was about to..."
At this point, Xu Xingzhi glanced at Xie Ruizhi with some embarrassment and said hesitantly, "I was about to have sex with the girl, but the girl looked like she had been drugged and was unconscious. I didn't care at the time.
So he stepped forward and knocked the bandit unconscious, changed his clothes, and carried the girl out of the house."
"Because my stature is somewhat similar to that of the village leader, the bandits didn't recognize me at first. It wasn't until we got outside that the four or five gatekeepers realized that I was not the leader of their village. Fortunately, I was there to reinforce them.
Before I came here, I rode out of the stronghold on horseback."
"Although she was injured a little, it's not a problem. But that girl looks like an official lady to me. Thinking about a woman of this status, if people know that she has fallen into such a den of thieves, she will return home.
I’m afraid I will be forced to death by my family members.”
"So, I put her in the inn and found a doctor to bandage her wound. If I remember correctly, the girl's wound was... on her shoulder. It was a stab wound."
As Xu Xingzhi spoke, he glanced at Xie Ruizhi again. Seeing that Xie Ruizhi's expression became more complicated, he lowered his voice and said, "Later, after placing the girl in place, I left. But halfway through, I found that the jade pendant I was carrying was missing.
After that, he turned back. But when he turned back, not only was the jade pendant gone, but the girl was no longer in the inn."
