Rebirth of marriage

Chapter 23 The Man Behind

Ms. Cai wanted to call for help and tell her son Xie Jiu's true face.

But Xie Jiu's eyes were full of killing intent, and she didn't dare to act rashly, but she was not willing to follow Xie Jiu's intention, "I don't know what you said."

He drank wine and raised his lips, "If I propose to come over and massage my mother-in-law's body every day, my eldest brother and the others will definitely agree. It seems that my mother-in-law wants to experience the feeling of life being worse than death every day."

"What do you want to do?" Ms. Cai's eyes were filled with horror. The needles that Xie Jiu had just stabbed into her body had almost killed her. She even felt that she had already died and was brought back to life by her.

"I want you to tell the truth." Xie Jiu's face was calm, and there was a sharp edge in the dark pupils, giving her a more cold and solemn aura.

Thinking of her cruelty again, Mrs. Cai trembled uncontrollably. She was afraid and said honestly, "I don't know who the other party is. I didn't agree with this marriage. After the death of the fourth child, I feel that you are unlucky. It's Hou." I insist that you come in."

Afraid that Xie Jiu might not believe him, she added, "I firmly objected. Only then did the Marquis tell me that someone wanted you to join the Hou Mansion. He refused to reveal any more. He only said that the other party promised to help the Hou Mansion go further, on the condition that you are not allowed to show up. , I can’t treat you harshly, are you really Princess Nihuang?”

Xie Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that if the Yongning Hou Mansion can be promoted to a higher level, its status will only be more noble than that of the Hou Mansion.

At that time, the fake Nihuang didn't know she existed, and she was only 12 years old at that time. Marquis Yongning would not make a deal with a child.

Afraid that her identity would be revealed, the best way was to kill her and silence her, but the other party hid her in the backyard of Yongninghou Mansion.

Marquis Yongning complied with his request. Instead of taking any further steps, the Marquis was demoted and exiled. Marquis Yongning would definitely vent his anger on her and kill her if she was teased.

The person behind it would not have thought of this, and it contradicted his previous approach of sparing her life.

On the way to exile, Marquis Yongning and Mrs. Cai did want to attack her several times, but it was the official protection that kept her safe along the way.

There were also many prisoners who bribed the officials, but at most the officials did not deliberately try to communicate with each other, but they would not protect her like that.

Previously, she thought that her father had given her enough money, but now it seems that there must be someone behind the scenes.

Did the person who transferred her identity leave her alive because of guilt?

Xie Jiu felt that this possibility was unlikely. She was the emperor's own princess, and to change her identity would be a crime of deceiving the emperor and punishing the nine tribes.

Since that person could take away her identity, he couldn't be so kind as to risk the Nine Clans for her.

Moreover, the place of exile was difficult and it was even easier to lose one's life.

In her previous life, she was given to Gu Xiao by the Yang family. She fled to Jiangnan and even after killing Li Wenze and being imprisoned, no one protected her.

Sometimes he spared her life, and sometimes he left her to fend for herself. It was really contradictory.

There is also the death of Marquis Yongning. He was in good health but fell ill on the second day of his exile. Could it be related to the person behind it?

Xie Jiu couldn't figure out the key behind this for a while.

But thinking that someone might be paying attention to him in the dark, Xie Jiu decided to act more cautiously in the future.

In Cai's view, Xie Jiu's silence was her acknowledgment of her identity. She murmured, "You are actually Princess Nihuang."

Mrs. Cai was full of regrets. Previously, she had only regarded Xie Jiu as the illegitimate daughter of some family, or the victim of a feud between some family.

She should have checked at that time. If she had known that Xie Jiu was the granddaughter of Zhen Guo Gong, then their Yang family would be the in-laws of Zhen Guo Gong. Why worry about having no future? "I will find a way to help you contact Zhen Guo Gong and let you Get your identity back, but you have to help the Yang family return to the capital."

Xie Jiu smiled contemptuously back at her, Cai was quite good at dreaming.

There were footsteps behind her, she put away the dagger, and quickly pierced several acupuncture points with the needle in her hand. Cai's mouth suddenly squinted and her eyes squinted.

"Xie Jiu, what are you doing?" Yang Xiner's voice sounded from behind.

Xie Jiu wiped the sweat and tears from Mrs. Cai's face and stood up slowly, "I would like to comfort my mother-in-law to be more open-minded and insist on treatment. Everything will be fine."

"If you were so kind, you wouldn't burn mother's clothes." Yang Xiner snorted coldly. The incident of burning clothes made her know that Xie Jiu was a person with different appearances, but her brother and sister-in-law didn't believe her.

They were willing to suffer at Xie Jiu's hands and she didn't bother to care anymore.

But if Xie Jiu dares to offend her, she will have to deal with it sooner or later.

Without quarreling with her, Xie Jiu glanced at Mrs. Cai and left the house, just in time to see the Yang brothers walking out of the courtyard.

Instinctively, she felt that the brothers were up to no good.

Mrs. Hu was cleaning up the house, so Xie Jiu asked, "Sister-in-law, is this recording work given to my eldest brother?"

Mrs. Hu glanced at her sideways and said with some pride, "It belongs to your eldest brother. He is the elder brother. I say you too. If you have such matters in the future, just tell your eldest brother in private. You have to make the second brother's family think it's us." It’s like you’re robbing them of their benefits.”

Xie Jiu looked ashamed, "Okay, I understand. Will the second brother blame the eldest brother?"

"It's not like you didn't hear them arguing." Madam Hu thanked her angrily and didn't want to say more to her, so she urged, "Go back quickly, don't let Lin Shu dislike you."

Thinking of something, she reminded again, "I think you don't look good, so don't be too honest. You are working for Dr. Lin now, so let her help you take care of your health."

Xie Jiu pretended to be touched, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for caring, I understand."

Back at Lin's house, Xie Jiu asked Lin Shu for paper and pen, and drew a diagram of the human skeleton with all the meridians and acupuncture points on the body marked. He dried the ink, and Xie Jiu gave the diagram to Lin Shu.

Lin Shu clicked her tongue in surprise, her usually calm eyes were filled with surprise. She couldn't help but praise, "Xie Jiu, I didn't expect you to know so much about the human body. Even the bone acupuncture points were marked, and the positions of the muscles and organs were accurately marked. Incomparable, do you know how to heal?"

Xie Jiu shook his head, "I don't have medical skills, but someone taught me how to draw. I think you can use it."

This human skeleton diagram was drawn by her master, and she remembered it by heart.

The master taught her that the joints of bones are the weak points of the human body and how to use this to defeat the enemy. He also taught her where to insert needles and what effect they would have. Unfortunately, they had no way to practice it in prison.

When she finally got two needles and learned to hide them in her mouth with her master, Nihuang took her away, and the two needles were shot into Nihuang's eyes.

On the one hand, I was torturing Cai just now, but on the other hand, it was really about practicing my hands and determining some acupuncture points.

The master taught her this for self-protection and assassination, but it was more useful for Lin Shu, a healer, and Xie Jiu also planned to teach Lin Shu some methods of assassination with needles.

She was always worried that the Yang family would attack Lin Shu. Although she had some skills, Xie Jiu didn't want Lin Shu's tragic death in her previous life to happen again.

Lin Shu regarded this picture as a treasure, and was even more interested in Xie Jiu's proposal. He studied it very seriously. After remembering what Xie Jiu taught, all that was left was to keep practicing.

She said gratefully, "Let me give you some silver needles, which are more useful than embroidery needles."

Xie Jiu got her embroidery needles from Yang Ji Grocery Store. When she heard this, she was not polite and said, "If you have a craftsman you are familiar with, please help me make something."

Lin Shu did not respond and said hurriedly, "Yes, you tell me what to do."

Xie Jiu took up his pen and drew a few pieces of jewelry and some needles shorter than medical silver needles, "Help me make these."

The hollows in the middle of these pieces of jewelry can be used to hide needles, and they are all weapons she uses to save her life.

Lin Shu accepted the drawings in a big deal without even asking Xie Jiu to pay for them. In her opinion, the skeleton drawing that Xie Jiu gave her was worth a thousand dollars.

She stared at the skeletal diagram as if she couldn't get enough of it, so Xie Jiu didn't disturb her. She went back to her room, washed briefly and then lay back on the bed.

Before going to bed, she wondered whether Mr. Yang might know something. After all, he was the most valued son of Marquis Yongning.

We need to find an opportunity to interrogate him.

Then she thought of her master. After the snow disaster, she had to go to Yuyou Pass to find someone to rescue her master. She also had to find some helpers.
