He truly loved that little baby who was so small back then, who called him "Dad" every day.
Unlike Grandpa Xie, who kept a distance from Xie Ziyuan from a young age, and who became even more suspicious of her ulterior motives as she grew up.
Xie Sidu had been a loving father and daughter for so many years, and before today, he still held onto a sliver of hope that Xie Ziyuan might have accidentally taken the wrong one.
This child may be ambitious, but that's because he's talented and has been pampered since childhood. He's long considered the Xie family heir to be his for the taking, which is why he can't accept Xie Li's return.
However, to everyone's surprise, Xie Ziyuan had planned this all along.
"Dad, it seems I have to go to the capital myself." Xie Sidu said in a deep voice. This jade slip is a treasure of the Xie family and a translator for understanding the "Xie Family Herbal Compendium". It must not fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives.
Grandpa Xie nodded, "You must find a way to get it back."
The difficulty lies in the fact that the Xie family has no way of proving the existence of such a jade slip.
All the statements are based on Xie Li's one-sided story. Xie Ziyuan can completely deny them, or even turn the tables and say that Xie Li fabricated the facts and deliberately framed her.
Even if this matter is taken to the police station, there's no way to explain it clearly, and Xie Li will inevitably be implicated in the end.
Therefore, after discussing it with Xie Sidu, Grandpa Xie could only adopt a gentle and indirect approach, hoping to awaken Xie Ziyuan's conscience.
But it's no longer possible now. Xie Ziyuan clearly came prepared, and she must have secretly hidden the items.
Xie Sidu nodded, understanding that this trip to the capital would likely escalate the conflict.
"I know, Dad."
Xie Li suddenly spoke up: "Actually, if we really can't get it back, we can destroy it if we find an opportunity."
Grandpa Xie and Xie Sidu were taken aback and looked up at Xie Li. "Destroy it? But then the 'Xie Family Herbal Compendium' would become a complete mystery!"
For hundreds of years, countless ancestors of the Xie family have devoted their lives to trying to understand the "Xie Family Herbal Compendium," but in the end, it was all in vain.
Huichuntang has been living off its past glory for so many years, and it is no longer the medical giant it was when the Xie family ancestors founded it. It is gradually disappearing into the long river of history.
Seeing the hope of cracking the code and carrying forward the tradition, how could a descendant of the Xie family of traditional Chinese medicine be willing to destroy the treasure left by his ancestors?
Xie Li was stunned: "Why did it become a heavenly book? Aren't I still here?"
Grandpa Xie was stunned for a moment.
Xie Sidu reacted quickly, his eyes sharp, "Lili, do you have a way to decipher the entire contents of 'Xie's Herbal Compendium'?"
If that's the case, it's a good thing. We can study the content Xie Li deciphered carefully.
Xie Li nodded and tapped his head. "I remember everything clearly. I'll decipher it when I have time."
He paused for a moment, then added, "By the way, I can also make an identical jade slip. Then we can use the jade slip to read the 'Xie Family Herbal Compendium' for future generations to decipher and study."
Xie Li felt that her understanding might differ from that of others.
The person who wrote "Xie's Herbal Compendium" must have been an incredibly talented individual. All the contents of this book are worth reading and studying repeatedly.
Grandpa Xie was overjoyed. He had studied the "Xie Family Herbal Compendium" in depth and knew that the secrets of the book far exceeded his imagination.
It would be best if the original could be preserved. He also wanted to use Professor Xie Li's method to open the jade slip and study its contents carefully.
