The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 844 - 428: General Xie Took Liberties With Me (Third Update)

Chapter 844: Chapter 428: General Xie Took Liberties With Me (Third Update)

At the entrance of the General Mansion.

A carriage hurried over.

Xie Ruotong’s father, Xie Kangheng, came to see Xie Ruotong.

In the past, when Xie Ruotong’s grandmother passed away, he learned that his wife, two daughters, and a son were involved. Fueled by anger, he and Xie Ruotong confronted them with swords drawn. In the end, he couldn’t be harsh and pleaded with Xie Ruotong to forgive them.

Faced with her father’s earnest pleas, Xie Ruotong didn’t do anything too cruel in the end. She followed her father’s words and let her mother and her fourth brother spend time in prison.

Because of this, Xie Kangheng always felt guilty for not allowing Xie Ruotong to avenge her beloved grandmother and always wanted Xie Ruotong to live better.

He thought that being twenty-six and still unmarried, and always fighting at the border, made him uneasy day and night.

A few days ago, he went to see the Emperor, hoping the Emperor would personally bestow a marriage for Xie Ruotong.

He had prepared an excuse, but before he could say it, the Emperor readily agreed and also promised to let Xie Ruotong stay longer in Xun City, without rushing to send her to the border.

When Xie Kangheng left the Imperial Palace, he felt something was off.

He had a vague feeling of falling into the Emperor’s trap, yet he couldn’t quite pinpoint it.

Xie Kangheng decided not to dwell on it.

As long as his daughter’s lifelong matter was resolved, nothing else mattered.

He also heard that the Emperor was arranging a marriage for his daughter, and she was currently in the matchmaking process. Several days had already passed, and he couldn’t resist coming to inquire if she found someone suitable.

Upon arrival, he saw his daughter entangled with a man in such a way.

In the past, he would have broken the man’s legs.

Now, looking at the scene, he nearly jumped off the carriage.

Was his daughter finally seeing the light?!

Xie Ruotong also heard the carriage and looked up.

Seeing her father, her heart suddenly tightened.

The next moment, she instinctively pushed Song Yanqing away.

Song Yanqing was caught off guard, and his body couldn’t react. He was violently pushed to the ground by Xie Ruotong.

He even rolled down several steps.

Song Yanqing endured the pain.

He pondered that Xie Ruotong indeed wanted to kill him.

"What are you doing?" Xie Kangheng looked at his daughter, his voice slightly reproachful.

He personally bent down, hurriedly helping Song Yanqing up.

Song Yanqing reluctantly stood up.

"It was just a slip of my daughter’s hand..." Xie Kangheng intended to apologize but paused when he saw Song Yanqing clearly.

Song Yanqing also clearly saw Xie Kangheng at this moment.

He immediately greeted him respectfully, "Father-in-law."

The words were just uttered.

Xie Kangheng was stunned.

Song Yanqing himself was also momentarily taken aback.

He was used to addressing him so before, and after not seeing Xie Kangheng for so long, the old address slipped out.

Xie Ruotong, beside him, found it particularly jarring.

"Father, it’s so late. Did you come to see me for something?" Xie Ruotong asked.

The Duke Mansion was originally located on the outskirts of Xun City.

Her grandmother loved peace, so she deliberately chose a place a little far from Xun’an City to build the mansion.

From the Duke Mansion to the General Mansion, the carriage ride took over an hour.

Xie Kangheng snapped back to reality, released Song Yanqing, and straightforwardly said, "I came to ask how your matchmaking has been going."

"Father, please don’t worry about it. I will not marry again," Xie Ruotong flatly refused.

Every time marriage is mentioned, Xie Ruotong always responds with this attitude.

There’s nothing to discuss.

Otherwise, Xie Kangheng wouldn’t have dared to request the Emperor’s bestowment.

"Is it because of him?" Xie Kangheng glanced at Song Yanqing again.

Looking at Song Yanqing’s disheveled appearance, he wondered what had happened to him to look like this.

"No." Xie Ruotong obviously knew her father misunderstood.

Anyone who saw would misunderstand!

"Even though I don’t like Song Yanqing, in those days, he toyed with your and your sister’s feelings, was involved in your grandmother’s death, and even gave you a divorce paper..."

"It was a divorce paper," Song Yanqing quietly corrected.

Xie Kangheng glanced at Song Yanqing.

Song Yanqing kept his head down, not daring to say more. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Whatever it is, in summary, it hurt Ruotong," Xie Kangheng said coldly, then addressed Xie Ruotong with some reluctance, "But if you like him, I will support you."

"There’s no need for support. I have nothing to do with Song Yanqing, and we won’t reconcile," Xie Ruotong stated firmly.

No matter today’s events.

She considered it a mere accident.

Once Song Yanqing was gone, she’d act like it never happened.

"Did I see wrong just now?" Xie Kangheng questioned.

"It was just an accident," she replied.

"What kind of accident?" Xie Kangheng pursued.

Xie Ruotong didn’t know how to explain, so she dismissed it, "It’s not what you think."

"Song Yanqing, tell me what happened?!" Xie Kangheng ignored what Xie Ruotong said and directly turned to Song Yanqing.

Song Yanqing met Xie Kangheng’s somewhat angry gaze.

Then turned his eyes to Xie Ruotong.

Xie Kangheng stepped directly in front of Song Yanqing, blocking any interaction between the two.

"Speak!" Xie Kangheng demanded harshly.

Song Yanqing pursed his lips, "Father-in-law..."

"Who is your father-in-law!" Xie Ruotong angrily scolded Song Yanqing, "If you dare say anything false, I’ll kill you!"

"Ruotong!" Xie Kangheng called her.

Xie Ruotong gritted her teeth.

She felt that Song Yanqing, so timid and always cautious in her presence, wouldn’t dare say anything.

So she chose to endure.

"You can tell me; I won’t blame you," Xie Kangheng said to Song Yanqing, his tone slightly softened.

Song Yanqing looked into Xie Kangheng’s expectant eyes.

He said, "General Xie, today forcibly acted indecently towards me."

Xie Kangheng’s eyes widened suddenly.

"Song Yanqing!" Xie Ruotong exclaimed sharply.

Song Yanqing pretended not to hear, tearing his already tattered clothes a bit in front of Xie Kangheng.

There were purples and greens all over, with scratch marks on his body.

Seeing this, Xie Kangheng’s eyes were wide open, forgetting to breathe.

Was his daughter so impatient? To mistreat Song Yanqing like this.

"Enough!" Xie Ruotong stepped up and quickly pulled Song Yanqing’s clothes up.

Xie Kangheng also blinked, snapping back from his stunned expression, pretending to be calm.

"Someone, send Song Yanqing back! Without my permission, Song Yanqing is not allowed to step into my General Mansion again!" Xie Ruotong ordered fiercely, "Otherwise, kill without mercy!"

After the words fell.

Xie Ruotong’s guard immediately stepped forward, intending to drag Song Yanqing onto a carriage and take him away.

"Wait!" Xie Kangheng directly stood in front of Song Yanqing, protecting him, "Before this matter is settled, Song Yanqing is not allowed to leave!"
