It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

Xie Yunting was completely speechless.

Because he couldn't refute it.

"Princess Jinghe, this matter involves too many deaths. I must report it to the emperor."

"No."

Upon hearing that he had to report to the emperor, Xie Yunting became anxious: "I have been away from home for many years and don't know the situation in the mansion. I can ask the elders to come over now..."

"Xie Yunting, you are the head of the Xie family. Even if you are not in the mansion, don't the elders obey your orders?" Princess Jinghe did not give Xie Yunting a chance to explain. "Even if you don't know about this, this incident is caused by your lax management of the family. Moreover, so many lives are involved. Ye Shaoqing, you can report to the emperor. If you need my help, just ask."

Ye Shaoqing immediately replied: "Yes, I obey your command!"

"Princess Jinghe..."

Seeing Ye Shaoqing leaving, Xie Yunting became visibly nervous: "This matter..."

"Report!"

Just then, the third guard came in.

"Princess Jinghe, I found this during my search."

Princess Jinghe looked at the parchment held high in the guard's hands and said, "Bring it up."

When Xie Yunting saw this, he stood up and stretched out his hand to stop the guard. Xie Linan stepped forward to stop him: "Uncle Yunting, you can't make the same mistake again."

"Lin'an, no, this piece of paper is the most important thing to the Xie family..."

"The most important thing?"

Unfortunately, before Xie Yunting could finish his words, Princess Jinghe had already received the parchment handed over by the guard. When she unfolded it, she saw a few words written on it: Nine-son Chain Array.

It is exactly one of the ten formation diagrams.

"So, the Xie family also has a formation diagram?" Princess Jinghe snorted and looked at Xie Yunting, "Could it be that your real purpose is also to find all ten formation diagrams?"

"Princess, I don't understand what you are saying?" Xie Yunting avoided her gaze.

"There are a total of ten formation diagrams like this. Legend has it that if you collect all ten, you can get a treasure map. And it's not just you who is looking for this thing. Shan and my royal brother are also looking for these ten formation diagrams?" Princess Jinghe saw Xie Yunting's face turning pale little by little, and finally realized that everything might be a cover-up on his part. His real purpose was to get the treasure map behind the formation diagram.

"Princess, I don't know what treasure map it is. This map has been passed down in the Xie family. After I became the head of the family, I received it. I don't know the story behind it..."

"Xie Yunting, do you really want the entire Xie family to be buried with you because of you?" Princess Jinghe was too lazy to listen to his explanation and asked directly, "Think about it, if the ancestors of the Xie family knew that the Xie family was destroyed in your hands, do you think they would crawl out of their graves in the middle of the night to seek revenge on you?"

Xie Yunting's body trembled, his face turned pale, he was shaking and unable to speak.

"Princess, if I agree to divorce you, can you return this picture to me?"

Princess Jinghe laughed. She thought Xie Yunting was firm in his stance. After all this time, he was a coward. "Now that this map is in my hands, I will naturally present it to my brother. Xie Yunting, you are not qualified to negotiate with me now."

"Can……"

"Uncle Yunting, please stop."

Xie Linan suddenly knelt down and looked at Xie Yunting with a sad face: "Over the years, I have helped you do a lot of immoral things. Now that the truth has been revealed, if you admit all the sins now, maybe Princess Jinghe will show some mercy to the innocent members of the Xie family because of their past friendship. Otherwise, the Xie family will really be finished."

"Xie Linan, what are you talking about? What crime have I committed?" Xie Yunting was shocked. He didn't expect his nephew to say such a thing. "Have you, have you been bribed by Princess Jinghe?"

"I have not been bribed. I just don't want to see the innocent people I grew up with die."

"Xie Linan, at the critical moment, you didn't stand by me, but instead advised me to plead guilty. I don't have a nephew as disloyal as you." Xie Yunting was so angry that his face turned blue.

"Brother Lin'an advised you because he wanted to save you once, but you didn't appreciate it."

Lu Han and Xie Yunhe walked in, and what was striking was that both of them were holding several booklets in their hands.

Just now in the house, Lu Han and Xie Yunhe talked for a long time, and Xie Yunhe, who had been bullied, finally came to his senses.

"Princess, this is the account book, as well as a list of all the contacts Xie Yunting had with the noble families, officials, and dignitaries."

Xie Yunting's eyes widened when he heard this: "Xie Yunhe, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Master, you would never have guessed that every time you asked me to destroy something, I would back it up, just in case one day you thought I knew too much and wanted to kill me. I didn't expect that these things would become important evidence to convict you." Xie Yunhe smiled coldly at Xie Yunting, who had his eyes open and his mouth slightly open. "I have been tortured by you for so many years, and I am living a life worse than death in this cage. You also made me unable to conceive for life and prevent me from becoming a mother. Do you think that you can make me forget this pain that goes deep into my bones by giving me a little favor?"

"Xie Yunhe, you...how dare you betray me."

"You were the first to be unkind and unjust, so don't blame me for being ruthless." Xie Yunhe said, then turned around and knelt in front of Princess Jinghe. "Princess, I am willing to tell you everything I know. Even if the Dali Temple wants to convict me, I will admit it all. I just hope you don't implicate innocent people in the clan."

"I have always been clear about rewards and punishments, and I will never implicate the innocent." Princess Jinghe said, then raised her head slightly and looked at Xie Yunting, who was completely stunned. "Is there anything else to explain? I will give you this chance."

"No, that's not the case, Lin'an..."

Xie Yunting turned and walked towards Xie Linan, but Xie Linan turned sideways and slowly retreated to Princess Jinghe's side: "The princess promised me that as long as I help her, she will let me be the new head of the Xie family. If I want to reform the Xie family, she will help me."

"You, you..."

Compared to Xie Yunhe's betrayal, his nephew's backstabbing completely broke Xie Yunting's defense: "Xie Linan, if I hadn't stood up against everyone's opinions, you would have died a long time ago."

"You still know."

Xie Linan's voice drowned out his: "You spared my life just because you needed a puppet, and even wanted to give me to those old guys as a plaything. And my parents, don't tell me how they died, you don't know. You obviously had the opportunity to change the current situation of the Xie family, not only did you not, but you became accomplices with the old guys. But I didn't expect that I had already sent them to where they should go."

Xie Yunting was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that the Xie family had been searched.

Not a single elder came out, not even a single guard from the Xie family was seen.
