“Née wang,” Grand Preceptor Xie spoke up “Why don’t you return to your rooms?”
Young née wang gave Grand Preceptor Xie a large bow before ates Xie Anyi cried out, “Father!”
Grand Preceptor Xie stepped in front of Xie Anyi but didn’t lose his temper Instead, he said calmly, “You’ll have to rely on yourself for the future Not even a blade of grass grows in the winter wastes When fighting breaks out, human lives there are as worthless as trash Anyi, do your best”
Xie Anyi struggled free froon Guards to kneel in front of Grand Preceptor Xie “This isn’t right, father! This isn’t what mother told me!”
Xie Anshi+ stood silently to the side Unable to bear the sight, Xie Anqi said, “Father, why don’t you think of some other way?”
“When,” Grand Preceptor Xie bent down to look Xie Anyi in the eyes “When father wins, you’ll be able to return to the capital”
Win? Wait until father beats His Majesty? Xie Anyi’s expression turned hopeless How long will I have to wait?
“If you can’t wait that long,” Grand Preceptor Xie added, “Father will leave you with some words of wisdom Death will free you”
Xie Anyi slumped Completely listless, he said, “All because of one wole Qin Xin?
“It wasn’t all because of a woman,” Grand Preceptor Xie patted his eldest son’s shoulders as his expression shi+fted “It’s because His Majesty can’t abide the existence of our Xie Clan”
Grand Preceptor Xie straightened up and began to walk inside Xie Anqi and Xie Anshi+ watched as the Dragon Guards took their brother away When they recalled how the Xie Clan had been glorious and unchallenged only recently, but now unable to protect its own eldest heir, both of theloomy and silent
“If we knew this day would coht, “If we knew this day would come, father would never have wracked his brains to put that boy on the throne”
Xie Anshi+ thought back, but couldn’t even recall Ning Yu’s features during his ti, the Third Young Master of the Xie Clan turned to enter the co but ostentatious these days For a person like him to exist silently over a decade in the Xie Clanback the entire tiht he could control that little emperor after the boy took the throne
Grand Preceptor Xie headed to Lady wang’s courtyard, where the woman ith her clans at each other,they could dearly leave the scene
“Just what grudge do you hold againstde to ruin me?”
Young née wang’s father didn’t even lift his eyes as he replied, “Elder sister, it was your side that insisted on the hter the only one at fault for Xie Anyi’s misfortunes?”
“Do you knohat she did?!” Lady wang shrieked
Grand Preceptor Xie entered the courtyard at this ti but a petty rivalry beto the bystanders for née Qin’s incident, so why are you losing your temper, my wife?”
The various wang Clan males rose to their feet to pay respects Grand Preceptor Xie didn’t wait for Lady wang’s retort, but told the various uncles, “Recently, the Xie Estate’s been having no end of troubles Lady wang herself isn’t strong enough to take it all, so I ask you not to blaressions in etiquette”
Grand Preceptor Xie’s soft words finally placated the various wang brothers a bit Next, Grand Preceptor Xie called for servants to su uncles out of the estate When husband and ere the only ones in the courtyard, Lady wang finally burst into tears Grand Preceptor Xie slowly took a seat and picked up a cup of tea He opened his h up blood into the cup
Lady wang wailed, “Old Master, His Majesty had the gall to make that wretch Anyi’s official consort How could that be acceptable? That cheap slave—”
“Stop talking,” Grand Preceptor Xie poured the bloodstained tea on the ground, his tone nonchalant “His Majesty only wants to ns with his wishes exactly”
Lady wang’s sobs abruptly ceased
Grand Preceptor Xie continued, “Make some preparations Close the estate to all visitors for the next few days, this old ate each and every one of the servants”
Lday wang stood up in fright “H-how many people is that?”
“You don’t need to ask that question,” Grand Preceptor Xie said “Just do a good job keeping vigil over Old Madame I’ll find the answer to her cause of death”
Lady wang walked to Grand Preceptor Xie’s side, her handkerchief soaked by her tears “Bit His Majesty said that you have to protect that wretched girl’s life,” she murmured
Grand Preceptor Xie laughed “Could His Majesty kill ’s life?”
Lady wang’s hands shook as her handkerchief fell to the ground
