"Old Xiao, this wasn't my doing! Don't misunderstand me! Someone wrote a whistleblower letter! I'm just stating the facts!"
Everyone present stared at him speechlessly. He was jumping around and making a scene. Anyone who wasn't stupid would know that he was the one who caused all this trouble!
The minister had just heard what his secretary had said about what happened earlier, and his face was ashen!
He glared fiercely at Shang Yan. Someone like him should be lucky to get in, let alone dare to dream of getting promoted through such despicable means.
Bah! Shameless! Do you think he's dead?
"Since you both have your own reasons, then let Vice Minister Wu investigate this matter!"
Regardless of the outcome, I will not let any of those who dare to slander, spread rumors, or cause trouble get away with it!
Of course, if Xiao Che really has a problem, I will not tolerate it!
His previous words almost scared Shang Yan out of his wits. He swallowed hard, feeling that he was in deep trouble this time!
But he firmly believed that since his daughter was so sure that the siblings in the Xiao family had a problem, then they would definitely be able to find out!
He just needs to wait for the review results!
Thinking of this, he calmed his mind a little.
Vice Minister Wu didn't say much and accepted the task.
"Alright! Meeting adjourned!"
The group left one by one, until only the minister and Xiao Che remained.
"Hey kid, tell me honestly, what's going on?"
Xiao Che sighed helplessly, knowing that the minister wouldn't easily believe him!
After all, there's no smoke without fire. If there hadn't been any rumors, how could the merchant and his daughter have made such a fuss?
"The thing is..."
He did not hide anything and frankly explained the situation at home.
The minister pondered for a moment and sighed, "You have a good wife and a good son! If they hadn't discovered and stopped it in time, your future would have been ruined!"
Our department is quite sensitive; with great power comes great responsibility, so please be careful not to make any mistakes!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Che smiled slightly and nodded in agreement, "That's right! My wife and son are both excellent! Of course, my daughter is still young. Young people are bound to make mistakes, but she's a good girl as long as she knows how to correct them!"
It's heartbreaking to think about, but ever since he got to this position, to avoid future trouble, his eldest son has moved his household registration to Old Master Bai's place.
After he takes over the Bai family, the distinction between officials and merchants must be made.
His wife loves buying gold and houses, but because of his position, he doesn't dare to buy them anymore.
I have money at home but I don't dare to spend it. Who would believe me if I told them?
The minister glanced at him and waved his hand impatiently, "I know, I didn't say anything bad about your daughter!"
It's normal for young women to like handsome and capable boys. Everyone has a youthful phase.
The object of her affections is your eldest son. It's not shameful, and it's not her fault. He's an outstanding young man in every way, a truly excellent one.
Since you've already resolved it yourselves, I won't say any more. Alright, you can leave now!
He had read the information of the entire Xiao family. That young man was truly one in a million, someone that ordinary families simply couldn't cultivate. No wonder he was raised by a prestigious family like the Bai family.
Xiao Che's abilities are truly admirable, and besides, Xiao Che has already handled things well, nipping any inappropriate thoughts in the bud. There's no need for him to dwell on it.
