Grand Preceptor Xie wasn’t unconscious for long But after waking up, he didn’t even get a chance to speak to his two sons before a steward came with reports that His Majesty had sent over an io black again Both Lady wang and Ning Xiaoyao had succeeded in h to feel faint at the mention of their very names (Orz)1
The three i the entire trip When Grand Preceptor Xie had greeted thes in the turn, but never spoke on their own accord Nor did they lift their heads to look at hiive theifts, but none of the physicians dared to accept them
“They left like dogs with tails between their legs!” Xie Anji2 said indignantly Grand Preceptor Xie laughed coldly before he sighed The physicians were all surely avoiding me now
“Father, what do we do now?” Xie Anshi+ asked
Grand Preceptor Xie glanced at the pageboy by his side, who took out a small booklet and handed it to Xie Anshi+ in a hurry
“Burn all the houses listed in that book,” Grand Preceptor Xie ordered
Xie Anshi+ quickly opened the booklet and blanched at the sight of the first page All of these were the Old Mada to burn them all?
“Hurry,” Grand Preceptor Xie urged
“Father?” Xie Anshi+ was beginning to wonder whether his father’s brains had been addled by His Majesty
“If you don’t burn the to His Majesty,” Grand Preceptor Xie said “I refused to yield anything we can’t keep to others”
Both Xie brothers were stunned How could Old Madas be His Majesty’s now? Grand Preceptor Xie furiously waved a hand, unable to explain the circumstances behind what had happened
“T-then what about the s in the stores?” Xie Anshi+ asked Even if we don’t want the buildings, aren’t we going to keep the stocks?
“Forget about the to fall for want of such things?”
Xie Anshi+ still wanted to speak
“Beat it!” Grand Preceptor Xie roared
Xie Anshi+ had no choice but to scram
“Go make inquiries around the palace,” Grand Preceptor Xie told his second son Xie Anji after chasing off his third “See if Prince Cheng has returned”
Xie Anji grew uneasy “Father, this son isn’t able to enter the palace”
“Find sohteningly gloo like that?”
Xie Anji could only leave and figure out a way to get the intel Lady wang had been standing vigil by the door When she saw both of her sons leave, she stepped inside Grand Preceptor Xie was leaning back against a silk cushi+on When he saw Lady wang enter, he waved a hand to beckon her near Lady wang stood in front of his bed and sa ed over the course of the past few days Tears fell froht
“I was planning to take care of young née wang personally,” Grand Preceptor Xie wasn’t in a ainst his throat “You should do it instead”
Lady wang stopped wiping away her tears to stare at Grand Preceptor Xie “His Majesty personally left words for Grand Preceptor to look after that wretch well It wouldn’t look good if we get rid of her noill it? Suppose His Majesty bla…”
“He can’t kill me,” Grand Preceptor Xie interrupted “So why fear him at all? Wife, do it as soon as possible Or…are you reluctant to lose this niece of yours?”
Lady wang hastily shook her head
“Go on then,” Grand Preceptor Xie stopped talking
Lady wang turned to leave, but couldn’t resist stopping for one last question “Is there really no more chances to reconcile with His Majesty?”
Grand Preceptor Xie si away She covered herout the door As soon as she left, one the Grand Preceptor’s stewards walked in hunched over before kneeling on the ground to ko
“How is it?” Grand Preceptor Xie asked
The steward said softly, “That old man killed himself, but his family’s still in the palace I don’t kno His Majesty is planning to deal with the situation”
Grand Preceptor Xie reees?”
“They’ve returned to their old haunts,” the steward looked carefully at Grand Preceptor Xie before adding, “His Majesty didn’t—didn’t give them any difficulties”
Grand Preceptor Xie’s eyes flew open at the saht
“She certainly kno to endure,” Grand Preceptor Xie muttered softly to himself
The steward said, “Grand Preceptor, there’s no more chaos on the streets anymore”
“Are there any people cursing this old man?” Grand Preceptor Xie asked
The steward didn’t dare to say
“Speak,” Grand Preceptor Xie ordered
“There are,” the steward ed to say But that was all He didn’tthe entire Xie Clan to bad ends or had even beaten one of their stewards to death
“Leave,” Grand Preceptor Xie dismissed him nobody else entered the rooainst his bed Yet another crushi+ng defeat! Once again, I failed!
