Part 1 - Yu Nu Jiao / Jade Slave / Enslaved By Love

Chapter 173 The Xie Family's Plan

When she escaped from the disaster in the forest earlier, Xie Yun had guessed that someone in the Xie family might have been involved in other things. At this time, the three words "Second Young Lady" clearly verified her guess.

But the case of the Xie family was reported by the Xun family and tried by the late emperor. What does it have to do with Yin Ji?

Why did they participate in the assassination against Yin Ji?

Wait, that assassination was to kill anyone on sight. It seemed that it was not aimed at Yin Ji, but the entire court... Was her Xie family used or did they really have other thoughts?

Her heart was beating like thunder, but she didn't dare to be noticed. She buried the short arrow in the soil, hid the note in her sleeves, and burned it when no one was around.

That day, she sent Xiuxiu away early, turned off the lights, and waited for the uninvited guests.

The night gradually deepened, and the third watch drum sounded. As expected, the window was gently knocked twice, and then someone shouted "Second Young Lady" outside.

Xie Yun's heart skipped a beat, and they really came.

She should have been happy to see her relatives, but when she thought of these people's unclear positions and goals, she couldn't help but feel frightened.

But she remained calm on the surface and opened the window very gently.

A dark shadow came in, and the other party bowed and saluted as soon as he saw her: "Second Miss, I'm so glad that you are safe."

Xie Yun heard the voice very familiar, and soon remembered who it was.

"Cousin Huai'an?"

Xie Huai'an was a branch of the Xie family. He was separated from the Xie family in his great-grandfather's generation, but when it came to his lineage, he was so poor that he couldn't even afford to go to school, so he had to go to the Xie family clan, and the Xie family took him in as a family school.

When the Xie family got into trouble, they never saw each other again, but they didn't expect that the next meeting would be like this.

"How did you get here? How did you get mixed up in the assassination team of foreigners? Is your behaviour related to the Xie family?"

"Second Miss, please be patient. I just used their way to sneak in so that I could see you. I didn't participate in anything else. Although the family declined after the confiscation of the family, the children are still studying diligently and have never had other thoughts."

Xie Yun breathed a sigh of relief. She was most afraid that the Xie family would fall from the clouds and would not be able to withstand the blow, and would never recover, or even give up on themselves.

"It's good that there is no one, it's good that there is no one..."

After resolving the biggest knot in her heart, Xie Yun was able to care about other things: "Why did my cousin stay in Capital?"

"It's a long story. When the internal minister got into trouble, your family was imprisoned. I wanted to stay in Capital to take care of you, but I didn't want to be hunted by the Dali Temple. I didn't dare to show up. Later, I heard that the internal minister was exiled to southern Yunnan, so I secretly left the city and followed him."

The internal minister he mentioned was Xie Yun's biological father.

Xie Yun's heart trembled unconsciously: "You mean, you have been taking care of my parents and brothers in southern Yunnan for these years?"
