256: Isolated and Helpless

Isolated and Helpless

When Ms. Lu said that, she suddenly felt that that was the truth.1

If her daughter did not go against Xie Qiao in every way, she would not stand on the opposite side of Xie Qiao in order to avenge her daughter!

She did not have a child with the Xie family. In order to fortify her position, she would definitely have to curry favor with Xie Qiao. Moreover, earlier on, she had told Wanyue that Xie Qiao was short-lived. No matter how outstanding she was, she would still pave the way for her. There was no need to fight with Xie Qiao!

However, Yue'er did not listen to her!

After a while, she finally formed a grudge with Xie Qiao!

Also, the matter of stealing the jade had made her lose face in this family!

"What's the use of Mother thinking about all this now?! You should think about how you can stay!" Pei Wanyue snorted.

She had to think of a solution. She could not just rely on her mother.

Ms. Lu could only feel that the sky had turned dark. She could not feel any strength in her body. This time, it was as if she was sick. She could not eat or sleep well.

After Xie Pinggang left Xie Qiao's courtyard, he immediately began to count the servants and maidservants in the house.

The next morning, he directly applied for a day off and got many people to come to the house.

He sold those dishonest people away. Fortunately, other than Yuan Rong, there were not many servants without a contract in the house. Otherwise, it would be even more troublesome.

At that moment, those who were without a contract were chased away directly. Xie Pinggang even got people to carry Yuan Rong over in the presence of everyone.

They only hit him 20 times. After all, if they really hit him 80 times, this man would definitely be beaten to death.

Yuan Rong's body was weak. He was beaten until he was unable to resist.

"Eldest Young Master, you are ungrateful. I-I followed the Master all the way here!" Yuan Rong said with difficulty.

"My a*s! I remember clearly when you entered the mountain stronghold. You were already a sly and cunning person. You were not there when you beat up the barbarians. However, you came along with us to the Imperial City to become an official!" Xie Pinggang said with a straight face, "Cripple one of his arms and legs and throw him out!" 

"Young Master! You can't do this. I-I have worked hard even if I didn't contribute anything!" Yuan Rong dragged his body and crawled over to grab the corner of Xie Pinggang's clothes.

"You've worked at home for so many years and didn't even contribute anything. What's the use of having you?!" Xie Pinggang had long disliked him.

With that said, he ordered his men to take action the next moment.

"Y-You can't punish me! I'm a free man, I'm not a servant!" Yuan Rong quickly added.

Xie Pinggang waved, "You mean to report the case, right? That's fine too. There are witnesses to the attempted murder of my sister. Why don't I send you there myself?" 

Yuan Rong jolted.

Of course, he knew that if he really reported the case, his life would be even more miserable.

The accusation was not true at all. However, Xie Pinggang was an official in the criminal division. Would it not be a piece of cake for him to get someone to punish him?!

Moreover…

Before he became a bandit, he committed crimes. After that, he followed Xie Niushan. That was why he was able to rely on the military merits of the Xie family to protect himself. If he reported the case, he would not have any military merits, and his previous crimes would resurface…

Yuan Rong quickly shook his head.

He did not dare to complain anymore.

Xie Pinggang was a man of his word. He really got people to cripple him.

The pain directly knocked him out.

Xie Pinggang did not have any compassion or sympathy. He got people to throw Yuan Rong out of the city.

With the benefits of the Xie family, he actually dared to bully the young lady of the Xie family. He was lucky that he did not kill her on the spot.

Xie Niushan did not interfere in this matter. Moreover, he had been very depressed for the past two days.

He had a scale in his heart and knew who was right and who was wrong. He also knew that Yuan Rong should not be kept. However, now that Yuan Rong was gone, many of the elders from the mountain stronghold were sold or chased away. All of a sudden, it was as if it was empty, causing him to be a little dazed.

He initially thought that even if he became an official, there would be people that he knew in the family and their days would be similar to the past.

Now, out of nowhere, he suddenly felt empty behind him, isolated and helpless.
