Xie Qiwei stood there motionless, her cheeks flushed, her eyes scanning the surroundings.
Xie Ming: Check out my cheat program.
"Enough! Haven't you made enough of a scene during the day? Chen, how do you take care of your children? Rou'er got a fever as soon as she arrived. Wei'er has lost all her ladylike demeanor in such a short time!"
Xie Chengguang's words were harsh and stern, and the Xie family had been making his life miserable these past few days. Now the matter was settled, but the entire family had suffered heavy losses.
It will take at least 50 or 60 years for him to recover. He's over 50, do you think he'll ever see his family regain its glory?
Xie Qiwei felt extremely wronged. She was still injured and hadn't caused any trouble; she had just stood up and forgotten what she was going to say. Why did her father have to embarrass her like this?
Besides, how can you blame her for her half-sister's illness? It's just that she has poor health.
It's also my aunt's fault for being so useless and failing to win the Emperor's heart, which brought trouble to the family. She even said she would marry her off to the eldest prince.
That was his cousin, not much older than him, but those people didn't care about seniority at all for wealth and status; they had no shame whatsoever.
As Xie Qiwei thought about it, she felt like a little cabbage in the field, so pitiful. She wiped away her tears and sat down close to her mother's arms.
Chen felt wronged, as her family's misfortune had also affected her maternal family, causing her to lose face.
Now, that heartless Xie Chengguang still favors that vixen's daughter, Rou'er, Rou'er... just hearing her name tells you she's a seductive vixen who likes to seduce men.
And what's wrong with Sister Wei? She's so easily startled, and she even complains that her family isn't working hard enough.
Just as she was about to say a few words to her daughter, Xie Qiwei, with red eyes, nestled into her arms, and Chen's heart softened again.
One has to admit, it's all fate!
Xie Ming had no interest in the fighting inside the dilapidated house and left while his son was asleep.
They evaded the patrolling yamen runners and found Wu Chang, the head of the officers and soldiers.
"Brother Wu, it's so late and the dew is so heavy, you must be tired."
"Hmm, what's this?"
Wu Chang, who had just finished eating and was about to ask someone to fetch water, was quite displeased when a filthy young man stopped him and called him "Big Brother".
Moreover, the door to the prison for ordinary people was locked, so how did he get out?
"Brother, since we're being honest, I won't beat around the bush."
Xie Ming didn't intend to beat around the bush or say anything cryptic. Instead, he directly handed over a stack of silver notes, which he had just taken from the Emperor's beloved's dressing case.
Want to reap the rewards before anything has even been harvested? You're just trying to eat them!
Seeing the thick wad of silver notes in his hand, Wu Chang gasped, secretly estimating that it must be at least 20,000 taels of silver.
Which wealthy landowner would do that? They have to use ruthless methods to squeeze out even a hundred or two taels of silver.
What's with this unconventional approach?
"Brother Wu, I won't hide it from you anymore. I didn't bring a single penny with me when I left the Xie family. But I have a good master and a group of good fellow disciples!"
After saying that, he casually picked up a stone from the ground, squeezed it, and when he opened his palm, all that was left was a pile of powder.
Wu Chang was stunned; he hadn't expected there to be such a figure in this group. They were using diplomacy before resorting to force! Could he still accept the silver?
“Since Brother Wu has given it to you, it is yours. It is really inconvenient for me to be with my young child. I will need your help to take care of things on the way.”
"Of course, of course!"
Wu Chang hesitated for a moment, then took the money and quickly hugged it to his chest.
The order came from above: once the Xie family left the capital, the matter was considered closed; their fate was entirely in the hands of fate. Therefore, the officials had considerable leeway to maneuver.
Now that there's money to be made, of course we'll turn a blind eye. The brothers can still protect the two of them.
"Brother Wu, I thank you in advance."
Xie Ming bowed respectfully, his attitude very polite. Wu Chang quickly returned the bow. The two successfully completed the deal, and Xie Ming vanished into the darkness with a teleportation.
