This involves a palace secret from many years ago: Xie Jingrun's true identity is actually the current emperor's son, but for certain reasons, his identity is not to be revealed.
Now that Marquis Xie Tianlin of Weiyuan is dead, the position of Marquis of Weiyuan will naturally fall to Xie Jingrun.
Xie Jingrun's official position was already high, and now with the title of Marquis of Weiyuan, it is likely that no one in the entire court could rival him. This shows the emperor's favor towards him. Of course, this is also why he became a thorn in Feng Mo's side.
Xie Jingrun is the biggest villain in the original book, and he is the opposite of the male protagonist Feng Mo.
"Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty!" Xie Jingrun said in a low voice, then stood up to accept the imperial edict.
Hai Fu, the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree, was not surprised by this; on the contrary, he congratulated Hai Fu with a joyful expression.
When Qingqing stood up with everyone else, she saw the unwilling and resentful look in the eyes of Xie Jingxuan, the second young master next to her.
As soon as Eunuch Haifu left, Xie Jingxuan launched his attack, pointing directly at Xie Jingrun, "How can you, a disobedient and unfilial person, inherit the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion?"
The old man beside him turned pale with fright at the sight and quickly grabbed him tightly, whispering, "Second Young Master, please be careful what you say!"
"I'm telling the truth. When Father passed away, did he even show his face? He didn't even kowtow to Father, nor did he offer incense. What right does he have to inherit Father's position?" Xie Jingxuan started, then began to curse without restraint. He pushed away the loyal servant who was holding him, took a few steps forward, and glared at Xie Jingrun.
Xie Jingrun turned his head, glanced at him slowly, and said indifferently, "So what? The imperial decree has been issued. If you have the guts, go and protest in front of the emperor. What are you trying to prove by shouting here?"
Standing behind him, the bodyguard Changlin, who served him closely, opened his lips as if he wanted to say something.
Who said the master never kowtowed to the old Marquis?
The master simply disdains superficial formalities.
The master waited until no one was around before appearing, and after the old marquis was buried, he stayed by the tomb for several sleepless nights.
It's just that the master doesn't want to say it.
Xie Jingxuan had always disliked Xie Jingrun, but due to his father's protection of him, he could only harbor resentment in his heart.
Now that the position of Marquis of Weiyuan has fallen to him, and hearing him say such sarcastic things, the resentment that had been building up in his heart for a long time immediately erupted.
"You unfilial and heartless wretch, why don't you just die?" He clenched his fists, shouted angrily, and charged fiercely at Xie Jingrun.
"Second Young Master..." the loyal servant cried out in alarm, and the others also retreated, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Even Xie Jingyi, who was usually arrogant, shrank into a corner when she saw this scene.
As expected, Xie Jingxuan was quickly trampled underfoot by Xie Jingrun, without even touching the hem of the other's clothes.
"You want to teach me a lesson? You'll never have the ability in your life, you piece of trash!" Xie Jingrun said disdainfully, stomping his foot on Xie Jingxuan's face a few times before kicking him and breaking his ribs.
The sound of bones breaking echoed through the hall, sending chills down everyone's spines.
"Ah—" Xie Jingxuan screamed in agony, curling up into a ball in pain.
The loyal servant rushed forward and tightly embraced Xie Jingrun's second kick, pleading, "Young Master... no, Lord Marquis, please have mercy and spare the Second Young Master! You are brothers after all, please..."
