Chapter 390 Xie Siyuan is whipped by Lord Xie
Madam Xie and Lord Xie stared intently at Xie Siyuan, their faces filled with disbelief.
Weren't we here to catch the murderer?
How did Xie Siyuan get arrested?
He's the eldest grandson of their Marquis's family!
Madam Xie's lips trembled slightly, and she couldn't even utter a word.
How could it be him? How could it possibly be him!
He's only five years old! Zhiyi is his own grandmother! She treats him with all her heart!
Lord Xie stared intently at him, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"I'm innocent! It wasn't me!"
Xie Siyuan gritted his teeth and immediately denied it.
The old woman holding his hand snorted coldly, pinched Xie Siyuan's fingers, and took out white powder from between his fingers.
She raised Xie Siyuan's hand high so that everyone could see it.
"You say you're innocent, then what is this?"
Qin Jiuwei waved her hand.
The imperial physician following behind immediately stepped forward and carefully examined the powder in the old woman's hand.
He picked up the plate of pea flour cake again, brought it close to his nose, and frowned more and more.
"This powder is the blood stasis powder that Lady Hou was given. And this plate of pea flour cake has also been poisoned."
The old woman in the kitchen immediately said, "This pea flour cake is what Young Master Jue will be eating later. Everyone in the manor knows that Young Master Jue has recently taken to eating this while fishing..."
"If Young Master Jue accidentally eats this, I'm afraid..."
Their words struck her like a bolt from the blue. Upon hearing them, Old Madam Xie swayed and almost lost her balance.
The maidservant beside her quickly stepped forward to support her.
She raised her hand to steady herself on the door frame, her face suddenly turning pale, as if she couldn't believe her ears.
how so……
Why is it happening like that!
She trusted Xie Siyuan so much, she trusted him so much!
But it really was him!
He actually dared to kill someone!
Killing his own grandmother wasn't enough; now he's going to attack Xie Jue!
What kind of beast is he?!
Madam Xie's vision blurred, and she swayed precariously.
Lord Xie stood to the side, his face ashen.
He raised his hand and pointed at Xie Siyuan, his voice almost cracking.
"You beast! That's your own grandmother! How could you do such a thing! Now you want to kill Juege'er! You've truly gone mad!"
That day, Xie Siyuan personally brought him soup, and he thought it was because Xie Siyuan had become sensible!
They were completely unguarded around him!
Zhiyi was so moved that she drank the whole bowl down!
But unexpectedly, this beast in human form would poison it!
He actually poisoned his own grandmother and grandfather!
He's a madman! Absolutely a madman!
They're stupid too, actually protecting this beast like that!
They absolutely refused to believe it; even the slightest doubt was unbearable for them.
Results, results...
Ugh!
Lord Xie felt a dull pain in his chest and was unable to say anything for a moment.
Seeing that his scheme had been completely exposed, Xie Siyuan stopped talking.
He just kept his head down, lost in thought.
Qin Jiuwei's gaze swept across everyone's faces.
He then said, "Grandmother, Lord Marquis, this is not the place to talk. Why don't we go to the main courtyard and discuss how to handle this?"
Everyone remained silent, and soon they all went to the main courtyard together.
Main courtyard.
White curtains hung low in the main room, and white candles burned all around, their flames flickering.
On the offering table in the very center, there was an exquisite wooden tablet with the name of the Lady Hou engraved in regular script.
A fruit platter and incense burner were placed in front of the memorial tablet, with three sticks of incense burning slowly.
As soon as Xie Siyuan stepped into the mourning hall, Lord Xie immediately raised his foot.
He kicked him hard in the shin.
"Plop" sound.
Xie Siyuan's legs went weak and he knelt down on the ground.
Lord Xie's face turned ashen, and he shouted sternly, "Kneel down before your grandmother!"
Madam Xie's face was pale, clearly indicating that she had not yet calmed down.
The maid carefully brought over a carved chair, placed a soft cushion on it, and gently advised, "Madam, please sit down and rest for a while."
Madam Xie, her hands trembling, gripped the back of the chair and slowly sat down.
His eyes were filled with sadness, pain, and even a dazed look.
Lord Xie was filled with rage and roared, "Guards, bring me my whip!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the servant immediately handed him a thick, long whip.
Lord Xie gripped the whip handle tightly and raised his arm.
The first lash came down hard, the sound of the whip tearing through the air, and landed on Xie Siyuan's back.
Xie Siyuan was knocked forward and let out a suppressed scream.
Before he could catch his breath, the second and third lashes followed closely behind.
The whip drew blood.
The tip of the whip even tore his clothes, revealing deep bloodstains.
Lord Xie showed no sign of stopping.
"You wretched creature! You even dared to poison your own grandfather and grandmother, what else wouldn't you dare to do! Killing one wasn't enough, today you're going to poison Xie Jue too!"
"If we hadn't been discovered, would you have slaughtered the entire Marquis's mansion? You beast! I'll beat you to death today!"
As he continued to whip her, Xie Siyuan's screams gradually weakened.
He lay curled up on the ground, his clothes no longer visible.
Drops of blood fell onto the floor tiles of the mourning hall.
Lord Xie lashed Xie Siyuan with one whip after another, the force of which made it seem as if he intended to beat Xie Siyuan to death!
"Grandfather, please stop hitting me... I... I know I was wrong, please stop hitting me!"
Xie Siyuan lay on the ground, trembling all over, the wound on his back already blurred.
Tears mixed with blood dripped from the corners of his eyes.
Seeing Lord Xie's whip raised again, he instantly collapsed.
The beating Lord Xie gave was even more painful than the one he received at the manor!
Xie Siyuan cried uncontrollably, completely unlike her usual calm and gloomy self.
Like a dog that's about to be beaten to death.
Lord Xie ignored him completely and continued to beat him until he had no strength left.
