The maidservant was in great pain from being kicked by him. Upon hearing this, her face turned pale and she retorted in panic: "It's not the servant, it's the husband..."

She wanted to say "Yes, Madam", but before she could finish her words, Xie Yi stepped hard on her neck and soon she could not make any sound.

Xie Yi looked at the other servants in the room with a warning look. Seeing that they were all terrified and silent, no longer daring to speak nonsense, he said coldly: "Shut up this slave girl's mouth, drag her away for interrogation, and make her confess the mastermind behind this!"

After saying that, he quickly supported Xie Yun and said, "Don't worry, father. The slave who dared to stab you has been apprehended. You will be fine."

Xie Yun lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Although he didn't turn around in time to see the face of the person behind him, he smelled the scent of Chen Fang.

Chen Fang has been ill for some time. Not only does she take medicine regularly, she also uses calming incense to avoid nightmares at night.

There was no way he could have mistaken that smell.

But now is not the time to expose them. Xie Yi is his son. He has been very outstanding since he was a child. This spring, he is expected to enter the top three and win the top prize.

He couldn't ruin this outstanding son.

The matter of Chen Fang stabbing him can only be resolved privately and must not be spread out.

Xie Yun tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart and responded softly: "We must interrogate him thoroughly!"

The poor maid had originally hoped that Xie Yun could expose Xie Yi's frame-up, but upon hearing this, she instantly lost the strength to struggle, and the light in her eyes completely dimmed.

She knew that she was completely finished.

Xie Yi made her bear the crime of stabbing her master, and Xie Yun also acquiesced to his frame-up.

She had no way out and could only take the blame for her master and die tragically like Li Kun and Feicui.

When the maid was dragged out, tears welled up in her eyes.

She looked straight in the direction of Xie Yi, Xie Xin, Xie Yun and Chen Fang, and then glanced at all the servants in the room one by one. There was only ridicule and vicious curses on her pale little face.

Today you watched helplessly as I was framed by my master. One day you will be wrongly accused and killed by my master just like me!

There are also Xie Yi, Xie Xin, Chen Fang and Xie Yun!

You will definitely be punished for your disregard for human life in the future!

I'll be waiting for you in hell!

The maid was quickly dragged out, but her eyes, filled with resentment, made everyone feel cold.

The room fell into an eerie silence.

Finally, it was Xie Yi who broke the oppressive silence: "Father, my brother and I will help you out. Your injuries must be treated immediately."

Xie Yun's face was extremely cold: "Send someone to call the imperial physician immediately! The wound is quite deep, I don't trust the doctors outside."

Xie Yi remained calm, as if she hadn't noticed his cold expression. "Yes, I'll get someone to call the imperial physician right away."

It took an hour for the imperial physician to arrive and treat his injuries.

Xie Yun was injured on the buttocks. Although the injury was not to a vital part, the knife had penetrated deep enough to injure the bone.

The imperial physician had to use strong liquor to clean his wounds.

The stimulation of the strong liquor made Xie Yun scream in pain, and his whole body was twitching.

So the imperial physician took a long time to treat his wounds, apply medicine and bandage them.

Since he was injured like this, it was naturally not appropriate for him to attend court.

Xie Yun had no choice but to ask Xie Yi to write a letter asking for sick leave on his behalf and had it delivered.

Xie Yi also comforted him: "Father may not like to hear some of these words, but as your son, I have to say them.

Although your injury is a disaster, it may be a blessing in disguise for your father. The news of your mistress coming to visit last night has probably spread throughout the capital.

I'm afraid there will be an impeachment letter from an imperial censor at tomorrow's morning court. However, my father is injured now, and if they speak too harshly, it will inevitably be seen as adding insult to injury.

Father might be able to use this injury to avoid criticism in the court."
