The maids were discussing secretly, but suddenly someone coughed twice, and they immediately shut up.
The eldest lady walked straight past angrily, without even bothering to scold these gossiping servants.
The eldest lady went straight to Songhe Garden and asked Xie Xianyu when she saw him, "Did you bring Xu Wanruo back?!"
"Don't worry about my bedroom affairs."
The eldest lady's eyebrows twitched with anger. "I'm not saying you can't marry her, but you should at least follow the normal etiquette and teach her some rules. Why are you just bringing her home? She'll become spoiled and arrogant, and she'll have no manners in the future! Sooner or later, your harem will be in turmoil!"
"I'll make it up later."
Xie Xianyu remained indifferent, his expression apathetic.
"You!" The eldest lady was so angry that she was about to have a heart attack, but she still wanted to say something.
But then a little maid came hurriedly: "Xiaozi, the master wants Xiaozi to go to the study in the front yard immediately."
The eldest lady was stunned. From the tone of voice, it sounded like the master was angry. She looked at her son in a daze, not knowing how he had offended his father.
Xie Xianyu was indifferent and walked out the door.
The eldest lady was feeling very nervous and uneasy, so she immediately followed.
Front yard study.
"Master, the eldest son is here." The little maid announced.
Xie Xianyu opened the door and walked in. Immediately, a teacup was thrown at him. He dodged sideways and the teacup fell directly to the ground.
The master glared angrily: "Rebellious son! Kneel down!"
The eldest lady looked at the teacup that fell to the ground, her face pale with fear, and she said hurriedly: "What is the master doing? Xian'er is still young, he can be held accountable for what he did wrong, why does he have to..."
"Ask him what he did!" the elder master shouted angrily, "He colluded with King Xuan, plotted a conspiracy, and framed King Jin for treason. This is your adopted son!"
The eldest lady's face froze as she looked at Xie Xianyu in shock, hardly able to believe that this was something her upright and intelligent son had done.
Xie Xianyu said calmly, "Father is so angry, is it because the Prince of Jin is imprisoned in the palace and is on trial for treason, or is it because he's afraid that the Prince of Jin will fall and implicate you?"
The master's face suddenly changed: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Xian'er, how do you talk to your father? Why don't you kneel down and admit your mistake!" The eldest lady scolded angrily.
Xie Xianyu remained unmoved. "I've been ordered by the Emperor to investigate the case of Prince Jin's treason. I raided Prince Jin's mansion today and unexpectedly found some items."
The master's face froze.
"The secret correspondence between father and the Prince of Jin's residence seems to indicate they have been secretly communicating for a long time. Prince of Jin is now implicated in a conspiracy case. If he is convicted, can father, as the Deputy Prime Minister, bear the consequences of associating with the rebels?"
The eldest master's face flushed with anger. "Rebellious son, you rebellious son! Are you planning to send your father to the execution ground together? Have you forgotten that your last name is Xie too? You are my biological son. The Xie family prospers and suffers together. When the nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact!"
Xie Xianyu's eyes were icy. "Father cares about the Xie family's reputation. I'm ashamed of myself."
"You!" The eldest master widened his eyes, hardly able to believe that these were the words spoken by his most respected son.
"Prince Jin is barely alive, so father should withdraw as soon as possible. I can also keep silent about the two secret letters between father and Prince Jin."
The elder master sneered: "You are trying to make conditions with me."
"Yes, I have two things I would like to ask Father for."
He said he was begging, but he didn't even bend his waist.
"Speak." The master gritted his teeth.
"First, father will no longer interfere in my government affairs. Whether I choose King Xuan or someone else, I will not have any say in it."
The master gritted his teeth. Now that it has come to this, the King of Jin is about to collapse. What else can he do if he doesn't cling to the King of Xuan? He is still talking nonsense!
"What else?"
Xie Xianyu lowered his eyes, cupped his hands, and said, "I want to get married."
The master was puzzled. Did he need to ask for help for such a thing?
Upon hearing this, the eldest lady suddenly looked up at Xie Xianyu, and vaguely guessed who he was going to marry.
