"Since you're asking about him, it must be about him!" Tao Yuxuan frowned and said, "There's a lot of thorn in your side!"
"Stop talking about the fishbone, hurry up and tell me, what's the secret?" Shi Xi sat down next to Tao Yuxuan and urged her to speak.
She knew Xie Yunzhou was hiding something from her, but Shi Xi never asked.
Initially, Shi Xi wanted to give Xie Yunzhou some privacy.
Xie Yunzhou kept retreating into this space, making it impossible for Shi Xi to even know where to begin her questions.
Seeing that Tao Yuxuan was still spitting out fish bones, Shi Xi simply snatched the small fish from her hand, saying, "Finish talking before you eat."
Tao Yuxuan had no choice but to begin: "To be honest, it's not exactly his secret, but rather something about his father."
Xie Chongshan? What does this have to do with Xie Chongshan?
"Take your time, I have plenty of time." Shi Xi, who had just finished filming, lacked many things, but she had plenty of time.
"Then you'd better be prepared. Let me ask you first, how much do you know about the Xie family?"
"I know that Xie Yunzhou is not Old Master Xie's biological grandson; his father is an adopted child of Old Master Xie." This was something Shi Xi had heard from others before.
But Shi Xi didn't feel anything about it.
In her opinion, her background and such things didn't matter.
Tao Yuxuan nodded and whispered, "The secret I want to tell you is: Xie Chongshan killed his wife."
"How could that be? Where did you hear that?" Shi Xi asked, her eyes wide with disbelief.
“Although this is just hearsay, have you ever heard of Xie Yunzhou’s mother?” Tao Yuxuan asked.
Upon hearing this, Shi Xi was stunned.
Yes, she seemed to have never heard of Xie Yunzhou's mother.
This doesn't necessarily mean Xie Chongshan killed his wife, does it?
While Shi Xi was in a daze, Tao Yuxuan snatched the fish from Shi Xi's hand and continued to eat it, saying as she ate, "Listen to me first, this is just the beginning."
"This is just the beginning?" Shi Xi didn't know how to comment.
Tao Yuxuan pondered, "Well, to be honest, this isn't exactly the beginning."
As you know, Xie Chongshan was the adopted child of Old Master Xie and was originally supposed to inherit the Xie family's property.
However, Old Master Xie, still vigorous in his old age, took another concubine, who bore him a son, who was even younger than Xie Yunzhou.
Shi Xi nodded; this must be Xie Er.
Tao Yuxuan continued, "At this point, the concubine became unhappy."
In the concubine's eyes, Xie Er is the only heir of the Xie family!
Xie Chongshan is just an outsider, so why should he inherit so much money?
The concubine wanted to drive Xie Chongshan out of the Xie family, and the two sides argued for a long time.
During this period, Xie Chongshan's wife, Madam Xie, became pregnant again.
It is said that Xie Chongshan killed Madam Xie and their unborn child to prove his loyalty, thus securing his position in the Xie family.
Tao Yuxuan finished speaking at length before she started eating the fish.
She was also afraid of getting a fishbone stuck in her throat.
After digesting the information for a while and clarifying the relationship, Shi Xi asked, "That's not right. How could Xie Chongshan kill his own wife for something like this?"
Besides, that's Yanjing (Beijing). He can't possibly kill someone and escape with his life, can he?
"So the part before that was hearsay. But after that, there was indeed no more news about Madam Xie."
Rumors circulated in the Xie family that Madam Xie had returned to her hometown for recuperation. Tao Yuxuan shrugged and said, "Without Madam Xie's protection, young Xie Yunzhou's status in the Xie family is even lower."
The concubine then drove Xie Yunzhou out of the Xie family, ensuring he could never return to Yanjing.
