Now that they've achieved a high status and their potential has been recognized, they immediately jump out, offering themselves as wives and concubines. Don't they have any shame?
"I can keep quiet, but how do you intend to deal with them?" After all, it was an imperial decree to arrange the marriage. Even if the whole country doesn't know, everyone in the capital knows. If we don't take any of them, it's fine, but if we take them all, we will offend three families.
Emperor Mingde's methods were truly despicable.
After Huo Baichuan's 'death,' the Xie family became the undisputed number one family in the New Party. Although the Yan family was also a first-class family, they had only been in the capital for a short time, and Yang Zhong, who had recently defected, was also a rising star and could not compare with the Xie family.
Although the Guan family was not a leader in the old party, they could not be easily offended.
The situation was different for Prince Hui, who had Emperor Mingde backing him up and could not be easily refused.
Therefore, if Wei Tingsi rashly offends these three families, and Wei Caitao does not stand up for him, then Qin Ji, who is only a secret guard, will be in a very difficult situation.
"Lord Xie, you need not worry me. The Guan family and the Prince Hui's mansion are not a concern," he said, feigning ease.
Although Xie Yun is a member of the New Party, if anyone dares to refuse to marry his granddaughter, he will not let the matter pass peacefully. After all, she is his own granddaughter. Although she is born out of wedlock, if anyone wants to bully the Xie family, they will have to step over his dead body first. You dare to refuse my granddaughter as your concubine? Do you think my Xie family has no one to rely on?
"However, I reckon Lord Xie must hate the Emperor to death," Zhao Shu said with a teasing smile.
Indeed, Xie Yun was lying on the chaise longue at this moment, with his wife making tea for him beside him. "The Emperor is really outrageous. He actually sent Jinse to be Wei Tingsi's concubine. Is that Wei family brat someone easy to get along with?"
"What you say is absolutely right, sir. And that Princess Liuli from the Prince Hui's mansion is truly despicable. She actually went so far as to become someone's concubine. If Jinse marries into the Wei family, how could she possibly be a match for her? She might even implicate us in the future."
Women and men think from different perspectives. Xie Yun was concerned that Wei Tingsi would not be easily restrained. When Emperor Mingde issued an edict to grant the marriage, Wei Tingsi would get angry, and he would be the one who suffered.
Madam Xie's concern was that Xie Jinse's marriage into the family would be no match for Liuli, which might damage the Xie family's reputation and affect the marriage prospects of the Xie family's other daughters.
“The Wei family brat will definitely not be happy. Think of a way to prevent Jinse from marrying into the family, and I will go to the Wei family brat to ask for benefits.” After saying that, he stood up excitedly, leaving Old Madam Xie watching him leave in a daze.
Benefits? What benefits could there be?
Xie Yun naturally wouldn't tell her what benefits she could get from Wei Tingsi, but he was secretly making plans in his heart, and soon arrived at the study.
