Chapter 105 If he doesn't die, who will?
Xie Xing turned to look at Xie Tongchen. She bit her lip and tried to break free from Xie Tongchen's hand, but he held her tightly.
Xie Tongchen looked calmly at Xie Xing: "I said, you're not allowed to go."
Xie Xing pursed her lips; she genuinely disliked Xie Tongchen at this moment.
Her previously soft voice turned cold. "Why won't you let me go?"
Xie Tongchen didn't reply, but instead tried to lift Xie Xing up.
Xie Xing, however, took a bite of his water.
She bit him so hard that a bloody mark appeared on his hand in no time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Xing turned around and tried to escape.
Xie Tongchen hissed, withdrew his hand, and coldly stared at Xie Xing's back before speaking, "Luo Qi."
As soon as the voice came out, Xie Xing, who was just about to run away, was instantly hoisted up on the shoulder by the bodyguard Luo Qi.
Xie Xing tried to struggle, so Luo Qi pressed two acupoints on her body.
【He's so mean, I hate him!】 Xie Xing was furious, gritting her teeth.
"Don't be angry. It's not like you absolutely have to see Song Ci'an," the system comforted Xie Xing. "He'll come looking for you eventually."
Xie Xing knew.
But she still felt that Xie Tongchen had gone too far.
First, they left her in this military camp, saying she was weak and needed to be trained.
But Xie Xing felt that the person who should really be trained was Xie Mingzhu.
Xie Mingzhu gets out of breath after running just a couple of steps, yet she can still drag two men along.
This favoritism is so extreme, it's terrifying how love-struck people are!
Thinking of this, Xie Xing gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.
Xie Tongchen, who was listening to Xie Xing's complaints, paused for a moment, then flicked a coin on Xie Xing's forehead without changing his expression.
The coin didn't retract its force, leaving a red mark on it instantly.
Xie Xing looked at Xie Tongchen in disbelief.
Xie Tongchen: "Don't curse."
Xie Xing, puffing out his cheeks, shouted, "I didn't insult you!"
Xie Tongchen didn't even look at her, only saying indifferently, "Your thoughts are written all over your face, and you haven't even scolded me yet?"
Xie Xing: "..."
She gritted her teeth.
After transmigrating into this book, Xie Xing had always been honest and well-behaved, and had never before felt such a strong urge to make someone miserable.
Of course, Luo Hanfeng is an exception.
After Xie Xing returned to the manor with Xie Tongchen, he looked disheveled and dejected, like a wilted cabbage.
Xie Yuhe, who happened to have entered the mansion with the two, looked over in surprise.
"What's going on here?"
Xie Xing looked up, glanced at Xie Yuhe, then lowered his head again and said listlessly, "Hello, elder brother."
Xie Tongchen said "Oh," and then said, "I took her to the military camp for a look around."
Did you go to the military camp for a visit?
Xie Yuhe glanced at Xie Xing, who was covered in dust and dirt, and then asked, "Is that so?"
Xie Xing didn't want to talk to them.
She disliked Xie Yuhe because of his family; she had originally been indifferent to Xie Yuhe, but Xie Tongchen had influenced her to the point that she really didn't want to chat with the two brothers anymore.
So she said calmly, "Brother, I'll go back to the courtyard first."
With that, he walked away first.
The change in attitude was so obvious that Xie Yuhe hadn't even had time to react before he heard Xie Xing's heartfelt complaints.
They were all expressing their hatred for him and for Xie Tongchen.
Xie Yuhe: "..."
He paused for a moment, stunned.
What does it have to do with him?
"Tongchen." Xie Yu looked at Xie Tongchen suspiciously: "What did you do to her? Why did things suddenly turn out like this?"
Xie Tongchen is in a good mood today.
He smiled smugly and said, "It was just because she was having too much fun that I taught her some self-defense skills."
"If that were the case, her true feelings wouldn't be like this."
Xie Yuhe and Xie Tongchen walked side by side.
"You know, Yuze heard something interesting yesterday."
Xie Tongchen only occasionally overheard fragments of Xie Xing's thoughts. He didn't interact with Xie Xing much. Upon hearing this, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "What?"
Xie Yuhe said calmly, "Mingzhu has a dragon-shaped birthmark on her shoulder, did you know that?"
Xie Tongchen's expression froze.
He didn't speak.
Xie Yuhe had only mentioned it casually, but he did not expect Xie Tongchen to react in this way.
He looked at Xie Tongchen in disbelief: "You know? How did you find out?"
After all, it was a private matter for the daughter. No matter how close the three Xie brothers were to Xie Mingzhu, they wouldn't be close enough to know that Xie Mingzhu had a dragon-shaped birthmark on her shoulder.
Moreover, dragon-shaped birthmarks should not be known to others; the less people know, the better.
Alarm bells rang in Xie Yuhe's mind.
Xie Tongchen pursed his lips and said, "I saw it by chance when I was trying to save Mingzhu at the cliff last time."
Considering Xie Xing's previous statement that a birthmark confirmed her identity as a princess from the previous dynasty...
Xie Yuhe's face darkened. "You knew, so why didn't you say so?!"
His voice rose a few decibels, drawing the attention of several servants around him.
Xie Yuhe had no choice but to lower his voice and whisper, "Let's talk in my courtyard."
Knowing he couldn't avoid it this time, Xie Tongchen went with Xie Yuhe to his courtyard.
……
In the study room.
The three brothers are together.
A somber atmosphere permeated the surroundings.
Xie Yuhe suppressed his anger: "You knew Mingzhu had a birthmark on her shoulder, why didn't you say so?"
Xie Tongchen spread his legs, placed his fists on his knees, and said, "Just because Xie Xing's inner voice says she is a princess of the previous dynasty, does that mean she is?"
“Mingzhu has been with us for so many years, she’s not our biological sister, but she’s like one!”
"Should we doubt her just because of a few unfounded thoughts?"
"How unfair is this to Mingzhu?"
Xie Yuhe's pupils widened in shock. He looked at Xie Tongchen in disbelief: "Are you crazy?"
"Did leading troops in battle in the military make you stupid?"
"You still don't understand whether it's true or false?!"
Xie Tongchen was also angered, "So what?!"
"So, you really like Xie Mingzhu?" Xie Yuze looked at Xie Tongchen in disbelief.
Upon hearing this, Xie Tongchen's back stiffened.
He didn't speak, but it spoke volumes.
The three fell silent again.
Xie Yuze clenched his fists and couldn't help but raise his hand to punch Xie Tongchen in the face: "You beast!"
With a thud, Xie Tongchen's face turned to the side.
Xie Yuze didn't retract his punch, and Xie Tongchen's mouth was bruised. He wiped it with his fingertip and saw blood on it.
Xie Tongchen's eyes instantly turned cold.
"Xie Yuze! Who gives you the right to lecture me?"
He immediately threw a punch at Xie Yuze.
The situation immediately spiraled out of control, and the two began to wrestle in the study.
Xie Yuhe: "..."
He watched this scene, his hand trembling as he gripped the teacup. After a long while, he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and walked to the table, coldly saying, "You fight."
"When the Xie family is wiped out, I die in a fire, your head is hung on the enemy's city wall, Yuze is crippled, and finally dies unjustly, it doesn't matter to you."
"Never mind then."
"Don't you believe? Then don't do anything."
Xie Yuhe's gentle voice carried a hint of madness.
This is insane!
He and Xie Yuze worked tirelessly for the Xie family. Xie Tongchen knew the most important thing, but because of his ridiculous incestuous feelings, he kept it a secret.
If he doesn't die, who will?
