Chapter 965: 965-Light Hit

If even Duo Fu could tell, how could Xie Xian not?

He just looked at Xu Erlang quietly.

“I still have something to do, so I won’t disturb Minister Xu.”

He nodded slightly and walked away.

Duo Fu didn’t stay too long, cupping his hands and bowing to Minister Xu before following behind Xie Xian.

“What should we do?” He could not help but ask. At least, as far as he knew, there was nothing that Xie Xian wanted to do in the Daliang Dynasty. When the late Emperor was still around, he was a man of his word. The current Emperor was single-handedly supported by Xie Xian. Although Xie Xian said that he was assisting the government, he was actually no different from a regent. What imperial edict? Wasn’t it just a stamp from the little Emperor?

What he didn’t expect was that the only person who didn’t have any relationship with Xie Xian, Chu Yan, didn’t cause any trouble. Instead, it was Xu Ze, who was related to Xie Xian, who caused a big trouble.

He actually became a tiger in the way, and was forcefully stopped by Xie Xian under his high position, and even in front of him.

This could be considered a ruthless slap to Xie Xian’s face.

However, Duo Fu didn’t see any displeasure on Xie Xian’s face.

Xie Xian smiled.” I have my own arrangements. Thank you for making this trip, Eunuch.””She did not hide anything from him.

Duo Fu wanted to continue asking, but when he saw Xie Xian’s face, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. This person was too handsome, and it was easy for people to slip away. His methods were actually more ruthless than anyone else.

He still tucked his tail between his legs and did not want to push himself up.

Xie Xianshang was escorted away in a luxurious carriage. With more than twenty guards protecting him, he looked extraordinary. Even if he didn’t encounter any trouble, he would be filled with killing intent. In terms of momentum, numbers, and battle formation, he could be compared to the former emperor who was afraid of death. He was wrapped tightly. It wasn’t that he liked to brag, but a mosquito would fly into it.

Not to mention the number of people, even General Jin, who was driving the carriage, was not an ordinary person. He was the terrifying ghost on the battlefield. He was the kind of person who would kill his own people when his temper flared up…

He actually became Xie Xian’s coachman.

What kind of self-indulgence was this?

Although it was better to drive a carriage than to walk on the ground, he did not know if General Jin also thought so.

“.. Eunuch, shall we get in the car?” The young eunuch who was serving Duo Fu behind him advised softly. He had followed them all the way out of the palace, but he had not followed them in just now, so he was not qualified. Naturally, he did not know what had happened inside, but looking at Duo Fu’s respectful appearance, which he had never seen before in the Imperial Palace, he could not help but have a deeper understanding of Xie Xian’s official prestige, and even his bowed waist became more bent.

Duo Fu didn’t care about what he was thinking. Seeing that Xie Xian’s group of candied hawthorns had disappeared, no matter how curious he was, there was no need for him to wait in vain. He sighed and lifted his feet to let the young eunuch help him into the car.

He was curious about how Xie Xian would resolve this matter, or how he would resolve Xu Ze.

It was as if there was a cat scratching his heart.

Fortunately, this matter did not bother Duo Fu for a few days. The next day, the appointment of the two people who killed Yin Qing had already come down. They were level eight guerrilla generals. Duo Fu personally stamped the jade seal on them. It was fresh and hot.

He couldn’t refuse. Minister Xu was blocking the way, so Xie Xian went around him and found Assistant Minister Pan Po of the Ministry of Official Personnel.

Back then, Emperor Yong Ping’s Yellow Gate Assistant Minister was recommended by Xie Xian.

In terms of kinship, Xu Ze was definitely closer to the Xie family. However, this matter had happened between him and Pan Po. It was enough to slap Xu Ze’s face.

Duo Fu looked at the appointment and dismissal imperial edict and couldn’t help shaking his head. Why bother?

Aristocratic family?

No matter if it was a hundred years ago or now, which aristocratic family would dare to be compared to the Xie family?

Even if there was, it wasn’t the Xu family. In the past, it was just a second-rate family. However, after the aristocratic families were messed up by several generations of emperors, the Xu family appeared. What was the point of competing with the Xie family?

.. He wanted to know what happened next.

The cat was scratching again.

Very soon, Xiao Baoxin also found out about this matter.

Without waiting for Xie Xian to have the time and leisure to talk to her, the eldest lady of the Xie family had returned to the residence. Although she was not looking for trouble, she directly came to find her. Her words were also quite helpless. She was angry at Xie Xian and Xu Erlang.

When she left, Lady Xie didn’t say anything. It was as if she was purely here to complain to her.

“Take good care of yourself. Don’t worry about this. I just… If you are free, I can talk to you. If you have the heart, you can talk to Ah Lang. After all, he is his brother-in-law. At least leave him some face.”

“If you don’t want to say it, then so be it.”

Lady Xie’s expression was not good. When she saw Xiao Baoxin sending her out with a big belly, she was envious and jealous in her heart.” You’re still the best. You can give birth and raise well. Your husband dotes on you, and your grandmother loves you too.””

That was all he had to say.

In fact, she was also conflicted in her heart. Although she felt guilty for not giving birth to a Di son for Xu Erlang and had always spoiled her, she had always been protective of the Xie family. He had promoted the Xie family and made great contributions. How could this be high up and low down? However, Xu-er insisted on being high-profile.

It wasn’t that Eldest Lady Xie was bragging on behalf of Xie Xian, but there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do if he wanted to.

In the end, he had been slapped in the face.

Xu Erlang was so angry that he fell out with Xie Xian on the spot in the imperial court. In his words, he scolded him for stretching his hand too far. When he returned home, he flared up with her again, blaming Xie Xian for not giving him face and not taking her seriously.

He took her seriously, so why would he have to make trouble for her brother over such a trivial matter?

He had killed Yin Qing, the traitor who had led the Northern Wu army south to kill tens of thousands of Daliang soldiers. His contribution was not small. He killed someone under layers of guards. He was just a small official of the eighth rank. Was it worth it to be so serious?

Other than the original sin of being from the Xie family, she could not see any reason not to use the city.

She didn’t want to quarrel with Xu Ze because of this matter, so she had to put on an act. As for what would happen in the end, she didn’t care. She couldn’t care less and wouldn’t listen to her.

Who cares!

Eldest Lady Xie waved her hand and left. There was no need for Third Madam to go. His mother was pampered by his biological father. Not to mention listening to her nagging, he would even stare at them for a while, afraid that he would tire his wife and son out.

How annoying.

The more he thought about it, the more vexed he became.

Looking at Xiao Baoxin’s flushed face, the family’s cautious attitude became even worse. When had he ever been like this?

She was once the most talented woman in Jiankang City, the most beloved baby in the family.

..

Xiao Baoxin watched Eldest Lady Xie leave. It wasn’t that he didn’t understand Eldest Aunt’s complicated feelings, but she really didn’t have the confidence to agree to anything. Although Xie Xian had always put her first, he had always been careful in his actions. He wished that he had already thought about ten thousand steps before taking a step. It was not something she should interfere with.

Xu Ze. She narrowed her eyes. He still said that they were relatives. Why didn’t he say so when he begged Xie Xian to get up? Now, he was putting on airs and picking up Qiao.

She thought that it was better to hit him in the face.
