Chapter Twenty-Three: Losing Control and Hurting People
Liao Qing was angry, and after tearing the piece of paper out of the name post, he angrily scattered the pieces at He Xiaoxiao.
He Xiaoxiao didn't think it was a pestle at all, and calmly twisted the fragments floating on his face to his fingertips.
"It's okay if this one is broken, I still have one at home." He Xiaoxiao looked up at Liao Qing calmly. "Besides, gossip never needs to be substantiated, even if there is no evidence, the anecdote of the affair between the sister-in-law and the mother-in-law can still spread quickly, Sister Liao, are you right?"
"What exactly are you going to do?" Liao Qing finally sat down and said with a trembling voice.
"The two things are actually aimed at my sister, my sister married His Highness, how can he ever stand in your way, and it may not be your own idea to target her again and again." He Xiaoxiao carefully studied the expression on Liao Qing's face. "Tell me who is behind the scenes."
"I'll tell you, what can you do?" Liao Qing stiffened his neck and raised his head to look at He Xiaoxiao.
"You don't have to worry about what I can do." He Xiaoxiao raised his eyebrows and sneered.
"If I insist on not saying it, can you still kill me?"
"I'm not that stupid to kill you." He Xiaoxiao sneered and shook his head. "All I can do is to publicize your third brother's involvement with Aunt Chen to the public, and when the time comes, the reputation of the Fang Guo Mansion will be ruined, and I will also take this evil breath for my sister."
"You can't do that." Liao Qing suddenly reached out and grabbed He Xiaoxiao, He Xiaoxiao reacted quickly, sideways to avoid her attack, and slapped Liao Qing on the side of Liao Qing's face with a backhand. "You dare to hit me?!"
"Sister Liao, don't waste time." He Xiaoxiao shook his hand and got up disappreciatively. "I've asked people to write a wonderful book, and when I go out, the storyteller in the imperial capital restaurant will have a new story to tell tonight."
As soon as He Xiaoxiao's words fell, he turned around and walked towards the door, and Liao Qing almost collapsed and screamed.
"I said, I said, don't go." Liao Qing staggered forward, fell to the ground and grabbed the corner of He Xiaoxiao's skirt, and said hoarsely. "It's the Second Highness, and it's the Second Highness twice!"
He Xiaoxiao turned his head stiffly when he heard this, and looked at Liao Qing, who fell to the ground crying.
"It's him again." He Xiaoxiao lowered his head and muttered in a low voice. "It's him again, this madman."
The windows of the private room were ajar, and the wind suddenly carried a hint of coolness, and a few muffled thunders swept across the sky, and raindrops fell on the windowsill.
"Tanyin! Tanyin! He Xiaoxiao suddenly came back to his senses and raised his voice to call. Let's go home! ”
Tan Yin, who heard the sound outside, immediately turned around and opened the door, He Xiaoxiao greeted her and grabbed her hand, Tan Yin only felt that He Xiaoxiao's palm was frighteningly cold for a moment.
"Help me downstairs." He Xiaoxiao almost had to rely on Tan Yin to barely stabilize his body. "Go home now!"
Seeing this, Tan Yin didn't dare to ask the reason, so he only cautiously helped He Xiaoxiao to walk outside.
"He Xiaoxiao, don't go!" Liao Qing saw that she was leaving, so she hurriedly got up from the ground and chased her out.
At the corner of the stairs, she stopped He Xiaoxiao's master and servant, and pulled He Xiaoxiao's shirt.
"He Xiaoxiao, I know everything in the palace!" Liao Qing grabbed He Xiaoxiao's cuffs tightly and said reluctantly. "Concubine Duan's mother begged to marry you for His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness even refused His Majesty's marriage for you, I did so much for him, but he didn't even want to allow me the position of a side concubine. Crazy Horse, your sister didn't suffer that time, and this time I was also discovered by you, why did you do this to me! ”
He Xiaoxiao's hand tugged at the action, and the originally frowning eyebrows tightened again.
"Silence!" He Xiaoxiao's eyes were calm, and he lowered his voice and shouted. "Sister Liao, is she crazy? It's not enough to climb me, and you dare to talk about the Second Highness! ”
However, Liao Qing was stunned, and although he didn't speak again, he blindly pulled He Xiaoxiao and didn't let go.
"Tanyin, you go down to find the coachman first and let the carriage stop at the door, and then you come back to pick me up." He Xiaoxiao instructed Tan Yin with a cold face.
"Second Miss?" Seeing this, Tan Yin dared to leave easily.
"I'll let you go!" He Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at Tan Yin. "Don't say anything twice."
Tan Yin had no choice but to go downstairs quickly to inform the accompanying driver, seeing that Tan Yin left, there was no one else in the corridor except her and Liao Qing, He Xiaoxiao looked at Liao Qing coldly.
She raised her elbow and slammed it into Liao Qing's ribs, Liao Qing subconsciously spread her hand and retreated again and again when she was in pain, He Xiaoxiao followed silently, until Liao Qing gradually retreated to the corner of the stairs.
Perhaps sensing He Xiaoxiao's approaching step by step, Liao Qing looked up in amazement, but saw He Xiaoxiao stretching out his hands and pushing her shoulders hard without warning.
Liao Qing showed a frightened expression and screamed and fell backwards, He Xiaoxiao only stood coldly and watched her fall around the corner.
"What's going on, so noisy?" Probably hearing Liao Qing's screams, the door of the private room not far away opened, and several young men walked out together.
"Xiaoxiao, why are you here?" Xie Lingci, who was walking at the end, saw He Xiaoxiao in front of the stairs, staggered a few friends and walked forward quickly, and hurriedly turned around and waved at those friends and said. "It's okay, you go back and keep drinking."
Those sons and brothers also knew the truth that more things were better than less, and immediately pushed and shoved back to continue drinking.
He walked to He Xiaoxiao's side and followed her line of sight to see Liao Qing, Liao Qing below didn't know where he was hurt, he just fell to the ground and kept crying out in pain.
"Brother Order." Before He Xiaoxiao's outstretched hands could be withdrawn, she looked at the sudden Xie Lingci in fear. "I 。。。。。。"
"You get in quickly, and I'll take care of the rest." Xie Lingci held her hand, turned her body around, and pushed her to a nearby private room, and did not forget to instruct the last sentence before closing the door. "I'll pick you up when it's done."
Xie Lingci walked quickly to Liao Qing, who fell to the ground, and saw that there was no blood at the corner of her mouth, and then briefly checked the condition of her limbs, but fortunately, the stairs were not high and buffered at the corner, and Liao Qing only had a traumatic injury to the corner of her forehead.
Seeing that the little guy in the east fence was about to come over, Xie Lingci directly raised his hand to remove her mandible, so that she couldn't speak.
"Woo." Liao Qing burst into tears of pain and looked at Xie Lingci with resentment.
"Miss Liao's treatment is important, so don't talk yet." Xie Lingci's eyebrows were cold.
When the little guy came over, Xie Lingci only said that Liao Qing accidentally fell and was injured when he went downstairs, and at this time Tanyin went and returned.
"Young Master Xie?" Tan Yin was surprised when he saw Xie Lingci.
"Tanyin, you go upstairs and accompany Xiaoxiao." Xie Lingci said calmly. "You don't have to worry about it here."
Tan Yin nodded again and again, and walked quickly upstairs.
Xie Lingci beckoned the little guy in the store to place Liao Qing on a chair and carry him to the nearby medical hall, but fortunately, Xie Lingci's previous simple judgment was correct, except for the external injury on his forehead, Liao Qing had no internal injuries.
He took the money and gave it to the medical boy in the infirmary and asked him to go out and rent a carriage to solicit customers, and when the carriage arrived, he asked the people in the infirmary to carry Liao Qing up.
"I hope that after returning home, Miss Liao will be well recuperated and injured, and don't talk rashly." Before the carriage left, Xie Lingci lifted the curtain and said to Liao Qing with a smile.
