Chapter 383
He retorted in dissatisfaction, "Didn't mother also believe that Taoist priest's lies back then, thinking Sheng Niang was a vixen and wanting to get rid of her? Why is she blaming me now?"
Besides, ghosts and gods are not to be trusted. If Sheng Niang's ghost really was still lingering around, why would she have waited so many years to seek revenge?
Unfortunately, Madam Xie had her own logic. "Why can't we believe in ghosts and gods? Sheng Niang just died. Even if she harbors a lot of resentment, she's still not very skilled. Naturally, she needs time to build up her strength. When you first passed the imperial examination, were you as strong as you are now?"
This statement made so much damn sense that Xie Yun was completely speechless!
"In short, think of a way to quickly return all the Luo family's belongings, and then ask a Taoist master to perform a ritual so that Sheng Niang can be reincarnated peacefully. If she really can't bear to leave Xiu'er and You'er, we can help her."
The last sentence that Mrs. Xie said was particularly meaningful.
……
Prison Department of Punishment.
Lord Cheng'en stood in front of the prison door, looking at Chen Fang, whose face was haggard, with complicated eyes.
She was now wearing prison clothes, kneeling on the ground, with her hair in a mess. If you looked closely, you could see a lot of white hair mixed in.
But in just a few days, she looked so haggard that she seemed to have aged ten years.
"Dad, I am an unfilial daughter and have brought shame upon you!"
She apologized with sobs and kowtowed three times respectfully to Lord Cheng'en.
"You disappoint me so much, I never thought you would do such a thing!
You don't have to beg me anymore. I have already crossed your name out of the family tree. From now on, you are no longer a daughter of the Chen family!"
"Dad——" Chen Fang cried in despair.
Duke Cheng'en squatted down in front of her and said in a low voice, "Don't blame me, I had no choice.
But don't worry, your father will take good care of Yi'er and the others for you. Xin'er has been escorted out of the capital, and he will leave after Yi'er recovers from her injuries.
Xie Xiu has harmed you to this point, and your father will definitely avenge you!"
Chen Fang burst into tears. This was what she was waiting for from Lord Cheng'en!
She knew that she was doomed this time, so she did not ask Cheng Engong to save her, but only hoped that her three children would be fine.
It’s a pity that she ended up implicating the children.
Yi'er and Xin'er were implicated by her and could not continue to take the imperial examinations.
In order to take revenge on her, Xu Maochun and Bai Yuzhu designed Jiaer to elope.
And that Pei Rong!
That guy is not a good person either!
Unfortunately, Jiaer's reputation has been ruined, and now she has no choice but to marry him.
Thinking of Xie Jia, Chen Fang couldn't help but worry.
She pleaded softly, "It was my fault for not acting carefully and bringing shame upon my father.
I knew I could not escape the death penalty this time, so I did not dare to embarrass my father. I only asked him to help take care of Jiaer.
I spoiled Jia'er. She was young and ignorant, and in a moment of confusion, she fell into the trap set by the treacherous man. Now her reputation is completely ruined, and she can only marry Pei Rong.
Please, father, help me keep an eye on Pei Rong and don't let him bully Jia'er."
Although Pei Rong is not a good person, Chen Fang is helpless.
She believed that as long as the Chen family remained standing and was willing to protect Xie Jia, Pei Rong would certainly not dare to have any bad thoughts.
Duke Cheng'en thought of Xie Jia's injury, hesitated for a moment, and still did not tell Chen Fang.
Chen Fang's time is running out. Instead of letting her suffer after knowing the truth, it is better to say nothing and let her think that Xie Jia is fine.
Lord Cheng En said calmly, "I'll have Xie Yun keep an eye on Pei Rong."
Chen Fang immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that when Lord Cheng En said this, he meant that he was willing to protect Xie Jia.
After all, she had been expelled from the clan, so it was naturally difficult for Duke Cheng'en to come forward in person to protect Xie Jia.
It is reasonable to let Xie Yun come forward.
Anyway, now that Xie Yun has been dismissed from office, he will only try to please his father even more and will never dare to disobey him in the slightest.
Lord Cheng En stood up and said indifferently, "You can take care of yourself."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the cell.
Chen Fang immediately burst into tears and grabbed the cell door and shouted: "Dad - I really know I'm wrong - please don't abandon me - Dad -"
