Chapter 105 Seeking cooperation
At this time, the waiter Zhen Ma Ma rushed in, hugged the crazy Meng, and quickly apologized to Xie Shubai: "Fourth Miss! Madam was so angry about Miss Yao that she became confused! Don't take what she said to heart!"
Was she really sick and confused? But why did she feel that her mother was more awake than ever at this moment?
Only I am still living in deception and lies!
There was another burst of muffled thunder outside the window. Xie Shubai staggered out of the door. The rain was so heavy that it ruffled her hair, but she didn't care. The heavy rain washed over her body and the blood on her palms fell to the ground. She looked up and suddenly laughed.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Hahahahaha!!!"
……
The voice was strange and terrifying. The servants around were frightened by Xie Shubai's crazy appearance. They looked at each other and no one dared to go up.
"Do you think I'm pitiful?" Xie Shubai pulled one of the maids, her eyes showing whether it was sadness or joy. "Do you also think that I need a mother? Anyone can be my mother?"
"No! Fourth Miss..." The little maid was trembling with fear.
"What about you?" Xie Shubai turned to the other one, "You want to be my mother? You can be my mother!"
"No, no! I dare not!" Another little maidservant knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Why don't all of you want to be my mother? Meng doesn't want to either..." Xie Shubai showed a puzzled expression on her face, and then suddenly laughed: "I remember! My mother was a servant in the Meng Mansion! Because of her good looks, my father took her back to his room! She gave birth to me! But my father died of illness, and my mother was buried alive by the Meng family! She died a long time ago!"
"Do you know? They wanted me to be buried alive with them! They beat me so hard!" Xie Shubai started to cry. "Then I ran here and knelt down to beg my aunt to be my mother!"
Suddenly she laughed again: "But I didn't become her daughter, but a stepping stone for her daughter! From childhood to adulthood, as long as Yun Yao made a mistake or got hurt a little, she would put ten times or a hundred times the consequences on me! I am used to protecting her biological daughter! But..."
"But who will protect me?" Xie Shubai almost screamed, tears falling from her hollow eyes, "Didn't you say that I am also your daughter? Why don't you protect me! Why can't you love me for all these years!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
Xie Shubai ran out laughing wildly, and soon disappeared in the rain curtain, leaving no one behind.
The rain was getting heavier, making the windows rattle. Qingshu closed all the windows in the house. When he turned around, Songhuai walked into the house from the rain.
"Where's the girl?"
Qingshu handed her a towel and pointed inside the screen. Songhuai took it, wiped the rain off her head and shoulders, and walked forward.
Behind the screen, Feng Jia was dressing in front of the mirror. Under the candlelight, his skin was as white as snow, his long hair was as black as ink, and his facial features were beautiful and compelling. Song Huai couldn't help but linger for a moment before handing over the letter in his hand and saying, "Xie Haoxuan sent someone to write to me."
Feng Jia took the letter, unfolded it, and read it through.
It explains two things. The first is that Princess Nancheng has been in confinement since she returned to the mansion, so the person who asked Emperor Longqing for the title of county lady was not her, but her husband, Xu Huai.
Does that mean Xu Huai is also likely to be under the Crown Prince's command? Feng Jia pondered.
The second thing is that the person who assassinated her in the forest has been found out. It was indeed Xie Yunyao. She used a large sum of money to issue a killer order in the green forest, and the killer organization named Black Sparrow took over the escort.
Black sparrow?
Feng Jia closed her eyes and recalled the scene of that day. Those people were all wearing night clothes and their faces could not be seen clearly, but they all wore a bronze ring.
The shape of the ring is... Black Sparrow.
"Ha." Feng Jia sneered and lit the book with a candle, which turned into ashes in his hand.
She said to Song Huai, "Go and help me issue a killing order."
"You want to kill someone?" Song Huai was surprised. "If you want to kill someone, I can help you. Why do you need to find those people?"
"No," Feng Jia smiled, and Song Huai felt that the smile was terribly gloomy. "Only they can do this."
"Boom boom boom!"
Someone knocks on the door.
The two looked at each other, Song Huai understood, and slowly walked into the darkness of the room. Qing Shu walked in and said, "Miss, the fourth lady is here."
Xie Shubai?
"Why did she come to see me?" Feng Jia frowned.
"The fourth lady said that she had something important to discuss with you."
Feng Jia opened the door and found Xie Shubai standing in the front yard. She had no servants or umbrella with her. Her body was covered with mud and her hair was disheveled, like a drowned chicken. She was in stark contrast to the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, who usually had her hair combed meticulously.
"Fourth sister, do you have something to talk to me about?" Feng Jia invited her into the house and served her a cup of hot tea.
Xie Shubai held the teacup in her hand, glanced around, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Feng Jia raised her hand, and all the maids in the room left: "Can we talk now?"
Xie Shubai twitched her lips, hesitated for a while, and made up her mind: "I want to make a deal with you!"
"trade?"
"Don't you want Meng's life? I can help you!" Xie Shubai clenched her fists.
Feng Jia listened at the side, and couldn't help but smile: "Fourth sister, I don't understand what you are saying. Why do I want to kill mother?"
What she wanted was the lives of everyone in the Xie Mansion!
"You don't have to pretend with me. He sent you to a place like Shicheng, and also instigated Wang Shi of Shicheng to bully and beat you. When you returned to the capital, she tried every possible way to kill you. I don't believe you don't hate him!"
"What does that have to do with you?" Xie Shubai was a rare smart person. Even if she concealed something, the other party would not believe it.
"I can cooperate with you and help you kill her and make her suffer!" After a pause, a thick black mist surged in Xie Shubai's eyes, "But I have a request. I want you to help me get rid of Meng's family, the Earl of Yongyi's Mansion!"
Feng Jia's face was expressionless, and his fingers tapped the table regularly: "Why should I cooperate with you? I can avenge myself, and what about the Meng family you mentioned? The Earl of Yongyi's Mansion is not a small family, why should I help you deal with them and offend them?
Xie Shubai laughed sarcastically: "Do you think if you don't provoke them, they will let you go?"
"You are the one who killed Xie Yunyao. You spread all the rumors in the capital. You knew that Xie Yunyao was a delicate lady with a fragile personality who couldn't stand any stimulation, so you used public opinion to kill her! But have you ever thought that I can see this, but can't the Meng family see it? Can't the Earl of Yongyi see it? You can't avoid it, so why don't we cooperate and take the initiative!"
Feng Jia caught the subtle expression on her face, which was filled with overwhelming hatred. Wasn't she Meng's vanguard? Why did he hate her so much now?
"Give me a reason." Feng Jia said, "How do I know if you are trying to lure me into a trap? So tell me, why?"
"Because I hate it!" Xie Shubai looked up at the sky, "I hate this house! I hate the Meng family. I have been trapped here for ten years. The Meng family has deceived me for ten years! So I want to kill them all! Anyone who has wronged me must die!"
Feng Jia stood up, as if to chase him away, "What you said doesn't move me. I can kill them myself. There's no need for me to cooperate with you, right?"
Xie Shubai was a little panicked: "What do you want? The position of Queen? I can pave the way for you, and then the harem will belong to us sisters, how about it?"
Feng Jia didn't care: "Qingshu, send the guest away!"
"Wait!" Xie Shubai shouted immediately. She clenched her fists and looked determined, staring at Feng Jia with her eyes. "I know a secret of my father!"
