Chapter 559: Blindly Tolerating (Update 1)
"Does the Second Miss recognize him?"
Xue Ran was a little surprised. He seemed to have never heard of any contact between her and Xie Anjun before. Yet, he recognized her at just a glance.
"That is indeed Xie Anjun of the Xie family."
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "I have seen him from a distance before, but I don't have a deep impression of him. It's just that his face is somewhat similar to Xie Anbai, so I think it should be him."
Xue Ran said: "I see."
Young Master Xie Anbai has a very good personal relationship with the Prince of Dingbei Marquis's Mansion, so it is normal for the second young lady to be familiar with him.
Xue Ran also looked down. Looking at the scene, it was not difficult to guess what had happened.
"Come to think of it, this guy hasn't been out for a while. He was said to be unwell and has been recuperating in the mansion. I don't know why he suddenly came out today. He seemed to have drunk a lot."
Ye Chutang’s mind raced.
These words are just excuses to deal with the outside world. This prince of the Loyal and Brave Marquisate is probably not recuperating due to poor health, but has to stay in the mansion for some reasons to avoid the limelight!
She had mentioned to Shen Yanchuan before that Xie Anjun had too close contacts with Xiao Chengxuan. Now that Xiao Chengxuan was defeated, his life would naturally not be easy.
It’s just that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s Mansion has a strong foundation, and Emperor Mu Wu was willing to give Xie Pei some face, so this has never been made public.
If Xie Anjun had any brains left, he should have stayed at home and waited for the storm to pass.
Why would he suddenly come out at this time and act drunk in the street?
People quickly gathered downstairs to watch the fun. Some of them were sharp-eyed and had recognized Xie Anjun's identity, and they were whispering.
"Isn't that the prince of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion? What happened?"
"Is it really him? I thought I was seeing things! Isn't he said to be talented, gentle, and a good writer? How could he do such a thing after drinking?"
"How disgraceful!"
"I heard that he hasn't left the house for a while to recuperate, but he doesn't look like he's in poor health, does he?"
Everyone was talking about it, saying all kinds of things.
Xie Anjun seemed to have noticed those unfriendly looks, and he became even angrier. His face flushed and he pointed at the people around him in a hoarse voice:
"What are you looking at!? Get out of here!"
Many people looked at it and frowned secretly.
With a look like this, how could he still have the bearing of a loyal and brave young master?
The servants who had pulled him earlier also looked at each other in bewilderment.
One of them couldn't help but stepped forward again, tightly grasped Xie Anjun's sleeve, and whispered to him: "Prince! Let's go back first! What should we do with so many people watching? The prince's wife said that if she can't take you back today, she will hold me accountable! You——"
Xie Anjun sneered and raised his hand to pat the servant's face.
"After all, aren't you just afraid of her? How stupid! Now that she can't even protect herself, how can she care about my business? Don't forget, you are servants of my Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion, not her Princess Mansion!"
"Prince!"
The servants were so frightened that they almost wanted to cover their mouths.
It's fine to say this in private, but how can you say it in front of so many people! ?
If the Crown Prince's wife knew about this, then -
Bang!
Xie Anjun slapped him hard, his face gloomy.
"Go back and tell her to mind her own business! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
The servant covered his face but didn't dare to use force.
Just when they were in a dilemma, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler suddenly appeared.
"Prince."
He cupped his hands.
"Master, please go back."
Xie Anjun's face changed and he couldn't help but panic, and his drunkenness instantly dissipated.
He had come out secretly today, but he was caught red-handed.
I wonder how my father will punish him when he goes back this time!
He gritted his teeth and finally said with a firm breath: "I want to go back anyway! I'm not the second brother who spends his days in debauchery and forgets which way the door to my house faces!"
After saying this angrily and trying to save face, Xie Anjun followed the housekeeper and left.
But no matter how you look at the back, the figure looks a bit more embarrassed.
The servants of the Marquis' Mansion dispersed the crowd everywhere, and the onlookers soon dispersed, leaving only a few scattered whispers and laughs.
After watching such a great show, Ye Chutang looked away with a feeling of unsatisfied satisfaction.
"It seems that the Xie family is not at peace either."
Xue Ran smiled and said, "A lot of things have happened in the capital recently. Even the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion will find it difficult to completely extricate itself."
Ye Chutang nodded: "That's right."
Even though Xie Pei maintained a neutral stance and had tried his best to protect himself over the years, he could not stop himself from raising such a "self-willed" son.
"I heard that Princess Huaning hasn't left her house for a long time, and even the ladies of the noble families and noble ladies who used to be close to her have stopped communicating with her."
Ye Chutang raised his eyes: "How did you know?"
Xue Ran smiled and said, "The tavern has customers coming and going. There is no need to ask around. The news will come to you on its own."
The dignitaries in the capital love to come here and they will talk about the latest news in the capital. It is not difficult to know these things.
Ye Chutang has no interest in the Xie family, but...
"Xiao Jiayi is indeed very patient. For such a long time, I have never seen her go to the palace to plead for her mother and brother."
Even Xiao Lanxi knew how to pretend and express her loyalty over and over again.
If not for what happened later, Xiao Lanxi would probably still be acting out the drama of deep mother-daughter affection.
Xue Ran disagreed.
"She did not show up in person, but she should have gone to ask for help from the Loyal and Brave Marquis, but she did not ask for anything."
Xiao Jiayi still had some brains. She knew that it would be impossible for her to persuade Emperor Mu Wu with her status as a princess, so she chose to start with Xie Pei.
Unfortunately, Xie Pei remained unmoved.
Ye Chutang thought for a moment and realized that he had indeed not seen Marquis Zhongyong in the palace during this period of time.
It is said that he even claimed to be ill and did not attend court meetings.
Obviously it is to avoid suspicion.
Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, such a low-key and cold treatment has not completely resolved the many conflicts within the government.
Xiaowu leaned against the window and frowned at the departing backs of Xie Anjun and others.
——Humph! Brother Xie Anbai doesn't behave like he said!
Ye Chutang glanced at the angry look on her face and couldn't help laughing.
"Why, are you standing up for Second Young Master Xie?"
Xiaowu turned around, touched his bulging purse, and nodded vigorously.
——Of course! Brother Xie Anbai is generous and humorous, which is really great!
Ye Chutang pinched her face.
"Don't worry, he's not the type to suffer a loss. Xie Anjun can't bully him."
However, Xie Anbai had chosen to tolerate time and time again in the past, and I wonder if he will make the same choice this time?
