Chapter 180 Explanation is a cover-up
Chapter 180 Explanation is a cover-up
Xie Lan clapped his hands while mocking, "Second Master Xue is so thoughtful. On the surface, he looks like a brother with deep affection and considers the prince in everything, but in fact, he hopes that your elder brother will indulge in women and not make progress.
When your father gets tired of him, you can take his place.
In the future you will be a prince praised by everyone, a young general, and you can also inherit your father's title and military power.
As for your brother, no one remembers how outstanding he once was. Everyone only knows that he is a loser who is addicted to women."
Xue Ningfei felt a flash of panic in his heart. He had been hiding his thoughts very well, so how could this girl see through them? Seeing his father frowning,
My heart skipped a beat.
Afraid that he might notice something, I took a deep breath and tried my best to calm down.
He stared at Xie Lan with sinister eyes, "Who are you? You dare to interfere in the affairs of our Pingnan Marquis Mansion? You really don't know the rules!
My brother and I have a deep relationship, and your ill-intentioned words cannot sow discord between us."
Xie Lan looked disgusted, "You are talking so much, you must be feeling guilty. Do you have a deep relationship with the prince? You can only lie to your father, who else would believe it except him?"
Xue Ningfei's breath was caught in his throat, and the veins on his clenched fists were bulging.
Seeing Pingnan Hou's gloomy face, his heart tightened, "Father, you know that I have always respected my elder brother, and I also know my status. I have never had any extravagant expectations..."
"Humph, explanation is just a cover-up. Not only do you want to instigate your brother to indulge in women, you also want Su Lianwei to kill him."
"You're talking nonsense!" Xue Ningfei stared at Xie Lan. It was the first time he had the urge to kill a girl.
Xie Lan did not miss the murderous intent in his eyes.
Now that Pingnan Hou has returned and has become suspicious, it is time to finish the job, otherwise the founder will be so anxious that he will come out in person to ask for the 100,000 taels of incense money.
Xie Lan didn't say any more words. He stretched out his hand to pull out the whip from his waist, and with a flick of his wrist, he whipped Xue Ningfei.
The incident happened suddenly and Xue Ningfei was startled. Seeing the whip in Xie Lan's hand coming towards his face, he subconsciously raised his hand to block it.
Xue Ningfei was a bastard's son and originally had no qualifications to inherit the throne of the crown prince. However, in order to increase his bargaining chips, he planned to marry a noble lady who could help him.
I would rather injure my arm than have my appearance ruined.
Unfortunately, Xue Ningfei had no idea that Xie Lan had no interest in his face. He suddenly changed direction halfway and reached for the brocade bag on his waist.
Xue Ningfei was annoyed, but it was too late to dodge.
As the whip sounded, the brocade bag was blown away by the whip.
Xue Ningfei was horrified and leaped over without thinking.
He originally just wanted to take back the purse, but when he saw Xie Lan's mocking smile, he suddenly became angry. If she dared to ruin his plan, he would kill her.
Xue Ningfei's eyes were sinister, and he was about to strike Xie Lan in the chest with his palm.
At this moment, Xue Ningfei even thought of an excuse. If his father asked him why he killed someone, he would say that Miss Xie slandered him and he was so angry that he wanted to punish her a little. He didn't expect that he didn't control his strength well in anger and accidentally killed her.
Xue Ningfei was not worried about the consequences of murder. His father had only two sons, and his elder brother was already useless because of his addiction to women. He believed that no matter what happened to him, his father would protect him.
Tiechui saw Xue Ningfei's killing move, and immediately pointed his toes, using his Qinggong skills to fly towards him, and stabbed forward with the long sword in his hand without mercy.
Ding had never thought that a mere maid would dare to kill her son in front of her and Marquis Pingnan. She screamed in rage, "My Lord, are you just going to watch them kill Fei'er? Why don't you kill them now!"
Pingnan Hou's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot. He didn't expect that the bastard would kill someone for a brocade bag. He was a little chilled by his wanton killing of innocent people. But seeing the sharp killing move of Tiechui, he realized that Xue Ningfei was no match for him and was about to stop her.
Seeing this, Xie Lan flicked his whip and threw the purse towards Marquis Pingnan.
Pingnan Hou was originally paying attention to Xue Ningfei. When he noticed the movement, he thought that the weapon flying towards him was a hidden weapon, so he subconsciously raised his palm to slap it away. But after seeing that the hidden weapon was the bastard's purse, he suddenly changed his mind. He flipped his palm, grabbed the purse with his five fingers, and held it in his hand.
At this moment, Ding's heart-wrenching scream was heard, "Fei'er..."
Pingnan Hou turned his head hurriedly, just in time to see Tiechui piercing Xue Ningfei's right shoulder with a sword.
This scene surprised Pingnan Hou a little. He just saw that the maid's sword move was aimed at Xue Ningfei's heart, but he didn't expect that at the last moment she avoided the vital point and only stabbed the shoulder.
Seeing Xue Ningfei injured, Pingnan Hou was not as angry and distressed as Ding, but rather a little disappointed. Sure enough, this illegitimate son's talent was not as good as the legitimate son's. The maid had shown mercy and avoided the vital parts, but he was unable to avoid it.
It was a waste of half a year of his teaching, but his martial arts skills are still so poor.
Ding wanted to kill Tiechui, but Ping'an Marquis was not angry at all, and even admired her in his heart. It was not easy for a maid to practice such high martial arts.
Although she hurt his son, in the final analysis, she was just loyal to her master. If Xue Ningfei hadn't killed Miss Xie first, she wouldn't have been hurt in return.
The maid didn't kill him, which was already giving face to Marquis Pingnan.
What Pingnan Hou didn't know was that this was actually a misunderstanding.
Xue Ningfei was about to kill Xie Lan, so how could Tie Chui let him go for the sake of Pingnan Hou? It was Xie Lan who didn't allow her to kill him.
After all, Xue Ningfei was the son of Marquis Pingnan, and it happened in front of him. If Tiechui really killed him, there would be no way this matter would end well.
Although Tiechui was a maid, she had protected Xie Lan for many years. To her, she was closer than the Xie family. How could she let this maid lose her life for Xue Ningfei?
Although he couldn't kill Xue Ningfei, seeing Ding's unfriendly attitude, Tiechui pulled out his sword expressionlessly and kicked him to the ground.
She kicked him mercilessly. Xue Ningfei curled up on the ground with his hands on his stomach in pain, and it took him a long time to recover. Ding was shocked and angry, and rushed over to check the injury.
Pingnan Hou's expression was also somewhat unpleasant, "Miss Xie, are you and your servant too disrespectful of me?"
Xie Lan glanced at him, and actually wanted to say, I really don't have you in my eyes, only the 100,000 taels of silver promised by Cui. For the sake of the 100,000 taels of incense money from the ancestor, Xie Lan thought about it and still endured the hurtful words.
"If you knew why I wanted to steal Mr. Xue's brocade bag, you would probably hit me harder than a servant like me."
Pingnan Hou was somewhat surprised by Xie Lan's courage, but he was even more confused by her words, "What do you mean by that, young lady?"
Xie Lan snorted and laughed, "The reason I stole Mr. Xue's sachet was to save your eldest son."
Marquis Pingnan frowned. He did not understand what Xie Lan meant at first, but he was quick to notice that both Mrs. Ding and the concubine's son had changed their expressions.
