Unfortunately, on his way to exile, he was outnumbered and outmatched with his young son, and was eventually tricked and killed by the "kind-hearted Great Mother".

The son did indeed make it to the place of exile, but unfortunately, because the "Great Holy Mother" wanted to be a good person, she ended up selling the child again.

Xie Ming's son ended up in the palace as a eunuch, and eventually became the "Great Holy Mother's" ultimate enemy.

Okay, now let's talk about Xie Ming's son, Xie Yuzhi.

Xie Yuzhi's mother had been in poor health since giving birth to him, and the elderly Mr. Xie happened to be critically ill.

No one in the household wanted this pillar of stability to leave, so naturally they all wanted to send all the good things to the old man.

Xie Ming was also busy running between two places. Although he was an illegitimate son, the old man raised him like a precious treasure.

His own father was getting sick, so naturally he couldn't just abandon him.

As fate would have it, the old man urgently needed a precious Linzhi mushroom to save his life. This stuff is both easy to find and easy to come by; most prominent families keep one or two plants in their possession.

However, the Xie family only started to prosper during the old man's generation, and their storehouse did not have such a complete supply of precious medicinal herbs. Moreover, the emperor did not want the old man Xie to live any longer.

Xie Ming knew that his wife's dowry contained some of it, so he took it out on his own initiative.

He had just taken the medicine when his wife needed to use Linzhi (a type of medicinal herb). In the end, the old man's life was saved, but his wife's passed away.

The old man, after all, had reached the end of his life. Seeing that his family was thriving, he passed away with a smile a few days later.

The Marquis's family felt that Xie Yu was an omen of bad luck, as he had caused the death of his mother and grandfather shortly after his birth, and they treated him with contempt.

Xie Ming had mixed feelings about this son. On one hand, he believed that the son had caused his grandfather's death, but on the other hand, the son was the reason why his grandfather lost his mother.

So he kept his son at a distance, leaving him in the care of a wet nurse and other servants.

What Xie Ming didn't know was that the wet nurse was a confidante of his first wife, and the two had a deep bond of master and servant.

Ever since her death, the wet nurse has held a grudge against Xie Ming. If Xie Ming hadn't taken it upon himself to give away Lin Zhi's medicine, her young mistress wouldn't have been without treatment.

So, ever since Xie Yuzhi could remember, she had secretly told these things to the young master.

She hoped that the young master would remember for the rest of his life how good his mother was, and how heartless his father was who ignored him.

Xie Yuzhi grew up being looked down upon, so he was naturally more sensible than children who were pampered.

Knowing that his only loving mother was almost killed by his father, he vowed to kill his father and avenge his mother when he was young.

At this moment, Xie Ming also recalled many of the ridiculous and absurd underhanded tactics this kid had used against him with the most innocent expression.

Looking back on those events, one can't help but sigh, no wonder he later became known as the "strange old man".

But he also knew that even after his death, the boy, despite suffering greatly on the road to exile, continued to trip up the "Great Holy Mother," probably because he wanted revenge for his father.

Well, he's just a bit too young.
