Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately filled in the blanks in her mind, her expression stern, and she nodded.
As a matriarch of a prominent family, she naturally knew about the irreconcilable conflict between His Majesty and the Wei family, but she didn't know when they would declare war on each other.
“My second brother wanted to be a great general, but he couldn’t be happy once he entered the Palace Guard. So I consulted with my second uncle and my second brother and asked someone to transfer my second brother to the frontier for training.”
Xie Zhaozhao pushed all the blame onto Emperor Hui, since no one dared to confront His Majesty.

Xie An, having just finished his court session, heard that Xie Zhaozhao had come to his residence, so he went to Wutong Garden.
After exchanging a few greetings with Madam Xie, Xie Anfeng said to Xie Zhaozhao, "Come here, I have something to tell you."
Xie Zhaozhao remained expressionless, but she was somewhat uneasy. Could it be that her father had heard about her arrangements in the north and south?
