Xie Youwei felt like he was going to laugh at Mrs. Xia's bandit theory.
"Whether I can do it today or not, I just said, whatever Miss Xia did to me before, I will do it back."
Xia Ruochun said that he just ran away out of fear and did not save her.
Then she could just stand on the shore in fear and not save Xia Ruochun.
Mrs. Xia and Xia Jing also immediately understood what Xie Youwei meant. They were so angry that their teeth itched but they couldn't say anything.
Listening to Xia Ruochun's cry for help, Mrs. Xia became increasingly panicked and her tone became irritable.
"Xie Youwei! Are you going to watch Xia Ruochun drown here? If the palace comes to investigate at the wrong time, will you bear it?"
Xie Youwei blinked his eyes, as if he was frightened.
"I can't even see the depth of this lake. Why doesn't Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia go down to save it personally? Why do you have to let me go in with an injured leg?"
Finally, Xie Youwei glanced at Xia Ruochun, whose struggle in the lake was gradually weakening.
"Oh, Miss Xia seems to be in trouble, you should think of a solution quickly, otherwise Mr. Xia won't be able to bear the responsibility when the palace comes to hold you accountable, right?"
Xia Jing looked at Xie Youwei's innocent appearance and felt like he couldn't breathe.
Seeing that Mrs. Xia still wanted to make trouble, Xia Jing took a deep breath.
"enough!"
Mrs. Xia was frightened by Xia Jing's sudden voice and fell silent for a moment.
Xia Jing frowned.
"Quickly find something longer and come over and rescue the young lady."
The servants seemed to have woken up from a dream, and scattered around to look for things.
Xie Youwei shrugged.
Wouldn't it be better if I had done this earlier?
If he had done this as soon as he fell, Xia Ruochun would have been on the shore by now, and there would be no need to stay down there for so long.
A group of people stood on the shore, using various ropes and branches to explore Xia Ruochun in the lake.
Xia Ruochun also noticed the rescue here, stopped struggling, and instead tried hard to reach the branches.
General Xie sneered from the side.
"There isn't even a girl in the family who knows how to swim, so it's so difficult to save people."
If it were placed on the battlefield, it would not be enough to die hundreds of times.
Mrs. Xie stood aside for a while, frowning, looking thoughtful.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Xie Youwei noticed Mrs. Xie's expression and looked over there.
Mrs. Xie touched her chin.
"I feel like this is too cheap for them."
General Xie's eyes lit up and he shrank to Mrs. Xie's side, smiling to please her.
"In your opinion, madam, what should it be?"
Mrs. Xie's eyes turned, a bit cunning flashed in her eyes, and her eyes were fixed on Mrs. Xia who was standing on the shore with an anxious look on her face.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Mrs. Xie quickly walked behind Mrs. Xia.
Then, Xie Youwei saw her always dignified mother reaching out to lift the hem of her skirt, stretching out a pair of feet from inside, and giving Mrs. Xia a hard kick on the butt.
"ah!"
Mrs. Xia didn't even have time to utter any other exclamations before she fell into the lake with an ordinary sound.
Mrs. Xie quickly left the place, stood at the original place, patted the non-existent dust on her skirt, and looked as natural as possible on her face.
"Sister Xia! Sister Xia, you fell down too!"
Xie Youwei: "Pfft."
Seeing his wife walking like this, General Xie's eyes brightened even more. He imitated Mrs. Xie very quickly and kicked Xia Jing down as well.
A family of three fell neatly into the water.
Originally, only one person had to be fished out, but now it became three people. A group of maids and boys got into a mess and chattered for a long time before they fished out all three people.
Xia Jing, who was fished out, was no longer as peaceful as he seemed at first. He almost gritted his teeth and looked at the group of people in the Xie family.
"Brother Xie, isn't this a bit too much?"
Xie Kang blinked and imitated Xie Youwei's innocent expression before.
"What does it have to do with us? It's so chaotic. You accidentally fell down. I was just up there praying for you. I hope you're okay!"
General Xie looked upright and solemn, which made Xia Jing angry and didn't know what to say.
Among the three people, Xia Ruochun was in the most serious condition.
She fell for a long time, and when she was picked up, she was speechless and kept coughing out water.
Mrs. Xia's body was very weak and she was not feeling much better.
Without exception, the family of three looked wet and as embarrassed as possible.
Xia Jing was so angry that he could no longer keep his face as straight as before, and turned coldly to the group of people.
"Aren't you afraid that I will report what General Xie did today to the Emperor and the Queen Mother?"
Xie Kang curled his lips indifferently.
"just go."
If he was worried about this, would he just come over today?
"Has General Xie ever considered the current status of our Xia family!"
There was an unabashed threat in Xia Jing's words.
Relying on the Emperor and the Queen Mother, the Xia family's current status can be said to be very high. At least most officials of the same class dare not offend him.
In addition, Xia Ruochun is about to enter the palace.
The relationship between the Xia family and the palace is extremely close.
But General Xie is nothing like that.
"If you can, go and file a complaint. Resign me and let me take my wife and children to Suzhou to see who goes to fight for the Chu family!"
Xia Jing's expression suddenly changed and he stopped talking.
Xie Kang was the most valiant and skillful among all generals. SLR was the battlefield where Xie Kang went to battle, and without exception, he returned victorious.
No matter whether it was during the reign of the late emperor or after the new emperor ascended the throne, no one dared to touch Xie Kang.
Xie Kang raised his chin and showed off his power.
Xia Jing couldn't deal with the Xie family, but the resentment in Xia Ruochun's eyes was not concealed at all.
She thought about Xie Youwei's words.
It's just that she has to go to the palace for the rest of her life and stay with a man she doesn't love.
Even if you don't love, it is still the supreme power.
At least, he is much more powerful than Xie Youwei.
No matter how high Xie Youwei's posture is now and how nice her words are, sooner or later she will have to kneel down and call her empress when she sees her.
Thinking of this, the joy in Xia Ruochun's eyes expanded little by little.
At this moment, a boy stumbled in.
"Master! Master!"
Xia Jing was furious at this moment, turned around immediately, and said sternly with a cold face.
"What's so noisy? What are the rules!"
The boy was immediately scolded so that he did not dare to speak. He fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, trembling and kowtowed.
"I'm sorry, it was a small mistake..."
Finally seeing someone looking down at him, Xia Jing felt a lot more relaxed. He glanced sideways at the boy and his voice returned to his usual calmness.
"Tell me, what are you so worried about?"
"Report... report to the master," the young man was obviously frightened, and his words were still trembling, "the father-in-law from the palace has come with an imperial edict..."
Xia Jing suddenly froze on the spot, his face full of disbelief.
"How long have you been here?"
The boy quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Jing.
"It's almost a stick of incense..." This chapter has been completed!
