Uncle Xie Wu always followed Uncle Xie Er's lead. Now that he saw Uncle Xie kneeling down to greet him, he still obediently paid his respects even though he felt very aggrieved.
But even so, Xie Xihe had no intention of letting him go.
He tilted his head to glance at Mrs. Zheng and ordered, "Put everything in order. Make a list of anything missing or broken, and send it to the two uncles."
"Xie Yi, go and help."
Xie Yi was also quite frightened and was still kneeling on the ground. He suddenly came to his senses after hearing what was said. He jumped up and rushed to the second floor with Mrs. Zheng.
The corners of Second Uncle Xie and Fifth Uncle Xie's mouths twitched, but they did not dare to resist now. They could only silently acquiesce to Xie Xihe's actions.
Of course, that’s before even looking at the list.
After looking through the list...
"Five million for a set of cups? What kind of cups are these? Why are they so expensive?!"
Xie Bowen took a sip of tea and said, "This celadon cup was sent by a branch of the Sheng family. It is said to have restored the blue and white porcelain craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty to the greatest extent possible. It is the masterpiece of Master Yue of Porcelain."
Uncle Xie Wu was stunned and speechless.

"Three and a half million for a jade pendant?!"
Xie Bowen: "That was when Xiao Xi got the top score on the Kyoto exam last time. I won it by betting with some old guys in the neighborhood. Although the jade pendant was only carved from jade scraps, the raw jade is top-grade old pit glass-type Zhengyang green jadeite."
"You've also seen some good stuff. I don't need to tell you how much that thing is worth, right?"
Uncle Xie Wu's face turned pale and he had nothing to say.
Continuing on: "...What about these 18 million calligraphy works?"
Xie Bowen just said: "It was given by Mr. Lin Jing'an."
Xie Fifth Uncle: "..."
When I was about to ask more, Xie Bowen waved his hand and said, "Alright, I've looked at the list. There aren't many items. Most of them are sent by the Sheng family's side branches to apologize to my Xiaoxi. I'll give you the list. You can slowly check the value of the items to see if I cheated you out of anything."
Glancing at Uncle Xie Wu's frustrated face, Xie Bowen suddenly sneered and pointed at the pile of documents beside him, saying, "Uncle Wu should be thankful that what was broken were only some ordinary porcelain ornaments, and not the things in these documents. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to pay for it even if you emptied your family's wealth!"
Uncle Xie's face flushed red, but he couldn't say anything to refute.
On the other hand, Second Uncle Xie, who was standing by, had an idea and took the opportunity to ask the question in his mind: "Master, if I remember correctly, the most profitable business of our Xie family is your Xie Pharmaceutical."
"Although Xie's Pharmaceuticals has become famous after acquiring the Panacea Elixir, as far as I know, the price of the Panacea Elixir isn't that high, and it's sold in limited quantities each month. With so much real estate, shares, shopping malls, even a private museum, and a huge amount of certificates of deposit, where do you get so much money to stockpile all this?"
Xie Bowen's sneer widened as he asked, "You guys know I don't have that much money to stockpile these things. You already realized something was wrong and you still want to take them away?!"
A look of embarrassment flashed across Second Uncle Xie's face.
He didn't dare say that he believed Xie Mingzhu's instigation. He felt that Xie Bowen had even abandoned his wife and children for an adopted daughter. He was afraid that he would give away all the Xie family's assets, so he wanted to move all the valuables away first so that he would have more confidence when confronting Xie Bowen later.
Of course, there was also the idea of taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, but that couldn't be said out loud.
Even without them saying anything, Xie Bowen could guess roughly what was going on. He snorted in annoyance and said without leaving any room for doubt: "These are Xiaoxi's things. They have nothing to do with the Xie family, or even me. Just give up on this idea!"
Second Uncle Xie frowned slightly, with a lot of things he wanted to say, but after glancing at Xie Xihe, he weighed the pros and cons and finally endured it.
Forget it. Money is important, but he is already half buried in the ground. Instead of planning for the future of his family and descendants, it is better to pray for a long life for himself.
Although we don't know why the master family would adopt the eldest daughter, who is the legitimate daughter, into Xie Bowen's care, but judging from the information we have so far, the master family definitely does not disregard this daughter. On the contrary, perhaps it is because they care too much about her that they have made so many plans.
As long as the master family cares, Xie Xihe will return to the clan sooner or later. At that time, Xie Bowen, as the person who raised the eldest daughter, will definitely be rewarded handsomely. The master family may be so happy that they will reincorporate their branch into the clan.
It is not appropriate to offend Xie Xihe at this time.
Second Uncle Xie weighed the pros and cons and endured it. Fifth Uncle Xie did not dare to say anything out of respect for the clan, but Xie Tingyuan and his daughter did not have their patience.
Well, mainly because ignorance is fearless.
For the two of them, their understanding of the Xie clan was limited to the clan rules they had memorized since childhood. Naturally, it was impossible for them to feel awe towards a clan they had never come into contact with. They also had no idea about the importance of Xie Xihe, the "eldest daughter of the legitimate lineage."
This is particularly evident in Xie Mingzhu.
Today's events were all led by Xie Mingzhu. She started planning it the moment she knew that Xie Xihe was just Xie Bowen's adopted daughter.
She spent more than a month preparing.
First, she bribed the sanitation workers of Shuixie Lanting and asked them to pay attention to the movements of Xie Bowen and Xie Xihe and report to her at all times.
At the same time, he spent a lot of energy to please Liang Suqin and got a lot of useful information from her, such as the layout of Shuixie Lanting, Xie Bowen's habit of placing things, Xie Bowen's most commonly used password numbers, and so on.
During this period, she traveled back and forth between Kyoto and Shanghai several times, and after much persuasion, she finally invited the two most senior uncles in the Xie family to come and support her.
She did all this just to drive Xie Xihe out of the Xie family and even remove her from the Xie family's genealogy.
But now, not only did the original goal fail to be achieved, but it was also revealed that Xie Xihe was the eldest daughter of a certain family?
His status and position are far above those of the side branches of the tribe, and he is extremely noble!
hehe!
This is just ridiculous!
What family? What direct lineage? What eldest daughter?!
She doesn't admit it!
She denied any of them!
She only knew that she, Xie Mingzhu, was the legitimate daughter of the Xie family and the legitimate granddaughter of Xie Bowen. Everything that belonged to the Xie family, everything that belonged to her grandfather, should be hers!
It has nothing to do with Xie Xihe!
The humiliation of being trampled on by Xie Xihe not long ago was still fresh in his mind. Under the repeated blows and stimulation, Xie Mingzhu almost lost his mind. With bloodshot eyes, he asked, "What do you mean these are all Xie Xihe's things?"
"She, Xie Xihe, has been unlearned since childhood. She can't learn anything and has no talent. All she has left is her face!"
He sneered, "Grandpa said these things belonged to Xie Xihe. Then I want to ask you, how did she, a good-for-nothing loser, accumulate such a huge fortune?"
"Chat? Drink?" His eyes were filled with malice, and he asked with disdain, "Or sleep with me?"
