Song Ze was no longer bothered by flies, and he himself became a unique landscape.
Xie Jiang was very satisfied.
Xia Zeshi stared blankly.
It was truly the first time he had ever seen someone so arrogant! Completely disregarding the consequences, if something didn't go their way, they'd let the other party go to hell.
How much confidence did she have that she could retreat unscathed? Did she think the Marquis of Yongjia's mansion and the Grand Princess were mere decorations?
Xu Hengyi was so angry his lips were trembling.
The road was wide open and full of people, yet Xie Jiang, that scoundrel, didn't even bother to hide his bad deeds! This was asking for trouble!
And the needle was something he had handed over!
Damn it, his hand was cursed!
Why hand over a needle in broad daylight!
He wanted to chop off his own hand!
He could already imagine what he would face when he got home! If his backside didn't get a good beating, how could he justify handing over that needle!
"Xie Jiang! Are you crazy!" Xu Hengyi felt like killing Xie Jiang.
"Don't you think the air is fresher now?" Xie Jiang's spirit was high, her eyes and brows curved in a smile.
"No! I'm suffocating! Do you know what you're doing? If anything happens to the County Princess of Le'an, do you think you'll be able to leave the capital alive!"
She could still smile!
Xu Hengyi unleashed a torrent of abuse at Xie Jiang.
Xie Jiang why couldn't she smile? Annoying things should get out of the way, "Then why aren't you going to save her?"
"I..." Yes, what was the point of arguing with Xie Jiang? In her heart, she was the supreme ruler, the greatest being in heaven and earth, was there anything she feared in this world!
What good would his scolding do? It was better to chase after her and see if anything could be salvaged.
"You scoundrel, you wait for me!" Xu Hengyi whipped his mount fiercely and galloped away like a shooting star.
"I'm afraid he'll be beaten to death by Meng Junyu, so I'd better go and watch," Xia Zeshi said, also following suit, unable to rest assured.
Only Xie Jiang was left, leisurely continuing her journey alone.
She followed Song Ze from a distance into the city, and when they reached the intersection leading to the Duke of Wei's mansion, Xie Jiang showed no intention of leaving.
Seeing that they were not far from the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, Song Ze suddenly stopped and turned to "look" at her.
Xie Jiang understood that he was waiting for her, so she urged her horse forward a few steps, "Young Master Song."
Song Ze smiled and said, "I heard that the Duke of Wei's mansion invited a poison doctor from Xian Shan to cure the Old Madam Xu, and that person is Young Master Xie?"
Xie Jiang replied, "It is I."
"Does Young Master Xie reside at the Duke of Wei's mansion?"
"Yes."
When mentioning the Duke of Wei's mansion, Song Ze remained gentle and refined, showing no particular emotion, "The direction of the Duke of Wei's mansion is opposite to that of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. Has Young Master Xie taken the wrong way?"
Suddenly falling from grace, her loved ones dying one after another, he harbored no burning hatred, nor did he become sinister and violent. Though his eyes were blind, there was still light within them.
How much hardship must he have endured to heal himself, and then to heal the few remaining relatives.
A pang of sadness welled up in Xie Jiang's heart, but her smile deepened.
The Duke of Dingguo's mansion, having experienced a great calamity, had not sunk into the mire.
If Song Er had not died, if she had returned.
What awaited her would certainly not have been the fragmented Duke of Dingguo's mansion.
Although Song Er had forever become Xie Jiang, and although she had never returned to the Duke of Dingguo's mansion in all these years, seeing Song Ze like this, she knew that she still had a home to return to.
She had a home and roots in this world.
"Xu Hengyi and Xia Zeshi have both run off, and I don't know the way. I don't know how to get to the Duke of Wei's mansion," Xie Jiang sighed in distress.
It was not yet time to go home, and she was not in a hurry.
She was already very happy to see her brother today.
"I see. Then shall I have someone escort Young Master Xie back to the Duke of Wei's mansion?" Song Ze instructed a guard behind him, "Li Chi, escort Young Master Xie back to the Duke of Wei's mansion properly."
"Yes." Li Chi spurred his horse forward.
"But..." Xie Jiang frowned, looking at Li Chi, with some hesitation.
"What is it?" Song Ze asked.
