550: Saviors

Saviors

2The sky was bright, and Xie Congshan had already gone to the main street. With every few steps, he could see the ghouls. In addition to the talisman water he drank, those ghouls could not help but hover toward him.

"Don't come over, don't come over! Go away, go away!

"Don't bite me, don't bite me..." 

Xie Congshan crawled from the street to the end of the alley. His hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in blood. His face was dirty, and a few pieces of his clothes were torn.

He stumbled and shouted on the street, which annoyed the pedestrians. When he met a few people with bad temper, they gave him a good beating.

He hit his head and was even more confused now.

Xie Congshan had really gone mad.

Xie Mangshan was initially going to stay in the capital, but when he saw Xie Congshan's fate, he was scared out of his wits. That night, he ran away with his son and wife without bringing the old lady with them.

In the past, the old lady could still do some work and help the family with some burdens. However, the old lady's legs were weak now and she wanted to eat meat everyday. She was becoming more and more lazy and useless. Moreover, the journey back would be so long. With the old lady, who knew what would happen on the way back…

In any case, the old lady would not die if she stayed in the capital.

It was different for him. The capital was bad luck for him!

The moment the old lady woke up, her eldest son had run away, her third son had gone mad. She was a little lost.

She used to treat her first daughter-in-law well and was very picky about her third daughter-in-law.

Now that the eldest son had gotten rid of her, Ms. Xin found this mother-in-law to be an eyesore no matter how she looked at her. In addition, she had to take care of this crazy man, so she was even more indifferent to the old lady.

The old lady could not bear the pain anymore. Not long after, she went to look for Xie Niushan again.

Xie Niushan could not watch the old lady die with his own eyes, but it was impossible for him to support the old lady at home. After all, his children would not be happy about it. After thinking about it, he sent her to a village.

At the village, as long as she worked, she would be fed.

It was similar to when they were at the old house.

If it was in the past, the old lady would definitely be upset. However, it was no longer possible now. It was better to live in the village than to suffer under the hands of her daughter-in-law!

Of course, these were the things to be discussed in the future.

Now, after Xie Qiao had vented her anger, she was preparing to head to Xun County.

Just as she left, someone sent an invitation to the Xie Residence. They paid a solemn visit and even sent many thank-you gifts.

The person who came was Wen Lancheng, the new top scorer of this year's examination.

Unfortunately, not to mention Xie Qiao, even Xie Pinggang was not home. Only Xie Niushan was left.

At that moment, he looked at this rather good-looking scholar in front of him with a confused expression.

"I should've visited earlier. It's just that the imperial examination was delayed for so many days. Fortunately, I did not let down Young Master Xie and Young Lady Xie for saving my life. I was appointed as the top scorer by the Emperor and entered the Hanlin Academy. In the future, if there's anything that I can help you with, I will definitely help..." Wen Lancheng said politely. There was gratitude on his face.

Xie Niushan scratched his head. "My son and daughter saved you?" 

Why did he not know about that?

No one told him about it either!

Xie Niushan thought it was a great loss for him to leave the capital. He had not participated in any of the major and minor matters of the family!

"Back then, someone impersonated me and I almost missed the imperial examination. Not only that, I almost lost my life. Fortunately, Young Master Xie tried to matchmake Huang Song who impersonated me and Young Lady Xie... I heard it was Young Lady Xie's pair of sharp eyes that saw through him. That was why Young Master Xie went forward to arrest them..." Wen Lancheng explained briefly.

He had three saviors.

The Crown Prince, Xie Pinggang and Xie Qiao.

The one he was most grateful for was naturally Young Lady Xie.

If Young Lady Xie had not discovered the problem first, Young Master Xie would not have looked into it and the Crown Prince would not have claimed justice for him.
