After today's events, The Marquis Yiungchang Residence is not just a matter of losing face.
Yuan Zong really mercilessly broke with Xie Sheng, he knew the location of the silver vault in the Marquis's Mansion, and after Grand Preceptor of the Court of Judicial Review broke open the mansion door, he went straight in.
Xie Sheng stood by with an unconcerned expression, countless pieces of white silver flowed past him, as a bystander, it was truly dazzling.
Xie Sheng's move dealt a fatal blow to Xie Xuan who is still in the dungeon.
The grand momentum of this move is known throughout the capital, exposing the collusion between The Marquis Yiungchang Residence and the the Yuan Family, and the exploitation of the common people. His Majesty has ordered the removal of the marquis title, and the Marquis's Mansion has been sealed.
The sound of fabric rubbing against each other echoes in the dim and damp dungeon, where Xie Xuan has already lost a significant amount of weight in just a few days.
When I stood up, I saw his thin figure sway noticeably. Apart from the prison guards, few people enter this filthy place. When he heard footsteps, he couldn't wait to approach the prison gate. When he saw me, there was an incredulous gleam in his eyes. Perhaps he was somewhat disappointed, as he collapsed to the ground.
" Xie Xuan, have you ever been so unbearable?"
I looked at the person in front of me.
Xie Xuan His hair was messy, the wound on his forehead was untreated, and now covered with ugly mottled scabs. His robe was dirty, and the whole person revealed an undeniable decadence.
"How come it's you?"
"Huh, who else did you think it would be? Your father?"
I smirked mockingly.
Xie Xuan reached out from the crack in the cage, his eyes widened, like a wild beast.
He stood up and rushed towards me, as if he wanted to grab my neck. Before he touched my collar, I stepped back.
"Marquis, no, " I corrected myself, "Xie Sheng, he is currently being interrogated by His Majesty in the prison. He won't be able to see you for the time being."
I handed him the food box in my hand and the small opening next to the prison gate.
"Do you want to deliver my last meal?" Xie Sheng stared deeply at the food box on the ground, motionless as if all his strength had been drained.
There was nothing special in the meal, just some tricks that my brother occasionally used when dealing with enemy spies.
"No," I shook my head, " Xie Xuan, I want you to live well."
As soon as the words fell, I saw Xie Xuan pause for a second, a glint of light in his eyes. It was as faint as the light coming through the small window in the dungeon.
But I don't even want to see a glimmer of light in his eyes.
I continued, shattering his illusions.
"I want to see you in eternal pain, never able to let go of the fatherly love you never received. Watching you slowly resent your father, but unable to deny that you are just as cold-blooded and ruthless as him, just like him—forever failing, forever unable to receive love."
Xie Xuan was stripped of his official position and title, and exiled to the Lingnan district. That day was the day I died of illness in prison in my past life. I witnessed Xie Xuan stepping down from the prison wagon barefoot, with shackles on his hands and feet. The moment of seeing the light again seemed not quite real in his eyes. The entire Xie family was demoted to commoners and expelled from the capital.
Xie Xuan's mother, from the the Yao, has fallen from grace. Throughout this farce, she never showed her face, only catching my eye as she left the city.
Beside me, a woman whispered to her companion, her demeanor clearly a sign of pregnancy. I blinked at the news.
I discreetly placed a bag of golden leaf in the hands of the bailiff overseeing Xie Xuan, causing him to step back and create space for me and Xie Xuan.
" Xie Xuan, you know what? You're going to have a little brother."
I stared straight into his eyes and said, word by word, "Little...brother."
"What did you say?"
His bloodshot eyes revealed a hint of sadness, his voice hoarse, as if letting out a final roar of life. I poked his chest, keeping a little distance from him. "I said - Madame Yao is pregnant. But Marquis hasn't been to the main mother's courtyard for many years. This is probably a child of unknown origin."
"However, I heard that Madame Yao was overjoyed after becoming pregnant. It was as if she finally had her beloved child."
Xie Xuan stood still for a moment, then suddenly became frantic, running towards the city, only to be tripped by the shackles and iron chains that bound him, falling onto the uneven road surface. He lay there half-dead, his body twitching occasionally.
I looked at him sideways and seemed to see a clear tear streaking down his cheek. The bailiff clicked his tongue and mercilessly whipped Xie Xuan with the whip in his hand. He convulsed in pain and curled up on the ground.
I bit down on my back molar and gave a heavy look at Xie Xuan's back, then turned to instruct the bailiff.
"Please take good care of this person, thank you Crown Prince."
