After Fan Xian returned to the capital, shocking things happened one after another
In the most recent incident, the Northern Qi court had shamelessly come forward and expressed their care toward Fan Xian as well as criticized the Qing court with strange disgust for not properly protecting Sir Fan junior's safety
The entire capital found it absurd and was angry
Putting it another way, this was the internal politics of Qing KingdomWhen was it time for corrupt Northern Qi scholars to comment? However, the Northern Qi people had coely loudly
IleAlthough the clever people did not believe that he had any kind of shady collusion with Northern Qi because this trick of Northern Qi's was too childish, the nobility and codo tossed toward the Fan manor were somewhat complicated

The current head of the Fan clan, the Minister of Revenue Fan Jian, stood below the stone steps of the ancestral hallHe wore tri-colored for of wared in his heart
He had raised a son for the Emperor and had finally made him his own sonCould this be considered the most successful day in his life?
The leaders of the other branches of the Fan clan had all already dise in order of seniority outside the ancestral hallThey stole glances at the leader at the frontEach of theo, the Fan clan was already one of the largest in the capitalFan Jian's branch had only been a side and weak branchIf it had not been for that elder who had raised the current EHow could it be possible for Fan Jian to currently be the head of the clan?
However, after Fan Jian became the clan head, he was very strict with the members of the clan, and his own position had become more and more powerfulNo one dared to disobeyFurthermore, the Fan manor now had an extra person, Fan Xian
They each put on the necessary clothing for worshi+pping ancestors and lit the incenseThe sacrificial items had already been preparedThe monk who lived in the ancestral tereat doors of the ancestral hall
With a creak, the black wooden doors were pulled openA gust of cold air rushed out fro coldly at their descendants
Hundreds of men from the Fan clan lowered their heads and stood in ranks
A carriage behind the group opened its doorFan Xian, wearing cloth clothing, silently walked out and sloalked forward between ts of estures as he stood below the stone steps
The atmosphere before the ancestral hall was solemn and respectfulThe men of the Fan clan didn't even breathe loudly in fear that it would wake the spirits of their ancestorsHowever, when they saw the e, they still couldn't help but stare in shocked surprise and utter countless shocked gasps through wide-open reatly terrified after seeing Fan XianThere were the poor little tyrannical boys that had their legs broken by Fan Xian outside Baoyue Brothel and had their bottoms beaten black and blue by Lady Liu in the Fan manor

Fan Xian calradually neared the stone steps of the ancestral hallHe saw that his father see, in a low voice, with so below the stone stepsFan Xian had seen those elders before and knew they were elders of virtue and prestigeIt seereat-uncle [JW1]
The great-uncle of the highest seniority in the Fan clan wore a worried expression and said quietly to Fan Jian, ”By virtue…this is not appropriate”
Fan Jian smiled and said, ”Second Uncle, what is not appropriate about it?”
The great uncle's eyes were full of fear as he lowered his voice, ”This child…this child…” He suddenly closed histo say, to the head's face, that his son was not his true born? He was still fearfulThe seniors of the Fan clan around hiht that there would be such a battle at this year's ancestral worshi+pThis was coht Fan Xian
Everyone began to speakAlthough they didn't speak openly in front of Minister Fan, they faintly expressed the worry in their heartsHowever, they didn't dare to raise their voices too much in fear that they would wake their ancestors in the ancestral hall
Everyone refused to accept it in their hearts, thinking, He wasn't a son of the Fan family, so why should he come to worshi+p the ancestors? What they were more afraid of was that Fan Xian was the child of the EmperorIf he joined the Fan faer and Eive these elders an opportunity to debateHe had already walked to his father's sideHe first bowed respectfully toward the elders and then stood beside his father
Fan Jian smiled and pointed to a spot in thethat the head was not listening, no one dared express their objection furtherThese elders in the Fan clan were actually more afraid of the aura around Fan Xian
