I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?
Chapter 162 Xie Yunfeng, the Green Tea Man
After Xie Yunxiao finished speaking, he glanced at all the elders of the Xie family and found that their expressions were different. Some were worried, some were panicked, some were guilty and some were evasive, but none of them were surprised.
Xie Yunxiao laughed knowingly, but did not bring up the issue. Instead, he bowed to the oldest uncle of the Xie family and said, "Grandfather, before my father married my mother as his second wife, you lived in the Marquis' Mansion. I believe you know the situation of the Marquis' Mansion very well.
Grandpa, please give me some fair words as to whether what my grandson said today is true or not.
Of course, if Lord Xie insists that I am making this up, the witness testimonies are there, as is the nanny who took care of my mother back then.
A letter of complaint, let us discuss it in front of the emperor."
The first half of the sentence was just a casual question from Xie Yunxiao, but the second half was actually a threat.
Uncle Xie knew the whole story and was planning to smooth things over and cover it up, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help but shudder.
Looking at Xie Yunxiao again, he was wearing a golden crown inlaid with jewels on his hair, dark brocade, and had a tall and slender figure. He looked very imposing. He was not an ordinary young man and he was not someone who could be manipulated by them.
He is now a general, and a popular young general beside the emperor. He knows very well who he must not offend regarding the aging Marquis Xie.
Uncle Xie sighed quietly, lowered his head, and his voice was filled with sadness and vicissitudes, "Yun Xiao is right, the Marquis' Mansion was indeed stretched to the limit back then.
However, this does not explain the conspiracy."
The old man was quite cunning. He admitted what he should admit, after all, the matter was not difficult to find out with a little inquiry. But he also denied what he should deny, indicating that he knew nothing about what Lord Xie had done.
Xie Yunxiao knew it well, so he didn't hold on tight. He bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Grandpa, for speaking up for justice."
"Marquis Xie plotted to marry my mother and seized her dowry, but he repeatedly insulted and slandered her, talking about his grievances and helplessness.
You took all the benefits, but you put all the blame on my mother. You are disloyal and unrighteous. How can you be qualified to talk to me about loyalty and filial piety? "
Xie Nianchu stretched out her hand towards Xie Yunxiao like crazy, but she was blocked by the guards. She could only rage helplessly, "You are talking nonsense, nonsense. Your mother is a bitch, and she is also a bitch after giving birth to you. How can you believe the words of a bitch?"
Xie Yunxiao looked at her coldly and took a step towards her. Xie Nianchu suddenly shut her mouth and took a step back in fear, "What are you going to do?"
"Look again, this girl from the Marquis' Mansion is like a street shrew. This is the child educated in the Marquis' Mansion. Fortunately, I didn't grow up in the Marquis' Mansion.
After my mother passed away, Lord Xie never took care of me for a single day. I was raised by my aunt and uncle.
"The Marquis' Mansion has never paid a penny for my studies, my literacy, my martial arts, and my food, clothing, and other expenses. How dare you ask me to pay for the Marquis' Mansion now?"
Xie Hou raised his eyebrows, he understood the meaning of this sentence, and said coldly, "But I gave birth to you, without me, there would be no you.
No matter what you say, you can't just sever this bloodline. The whole thing today was just for a woman."
Xie Yunxiao ignored him and bowed to Prince Anyang, "Your Majesty, I beg you to personally investigate my mother's case. I suspect there is something fishy about her death.
My mother is the Dowager Concubine's biological sister, and the late Emperor personally granted her marriage. She is of noble status. As the victim, I demand a thorough investigation."
Prince Anyang was already very angry, and he became even angrier when he heard Marquis Xie's last words. This showed that he knew everything and did it on purpose. He just wanted to take advantage of Xie Yunxiao because he saw that he was successful now.
Therefore, when Xie Yunxiao finished speaking, King Anyang agreed very happily, "Okay, I agree to this matter. If it is found that there is something fishy, I will not tolerate it at all."
Madam Xie's face changed and she almost fell down. The nanny beside her supported her.
This little movement attracted the attention of Prince Anyang. When she met the eagle eyes of Prince Anyang that could see through people's hearts, Madam Xie rolled her eyes and fainted.
The maids in the room were in a mess and it was difficult for them to carry the plump old lady out.
Xie Yunfeng walked to Xie Hou and whispered a few words. Xie Hou's expression eased a lot, but when he looked at Xie Yunxiao, he was still full of anger and unwillingness.
"If you sever your ties with the Marquis' Mansion, then your mother's spirit tablet will not be allowed to remain in the Marquis' Mansion's ancestral hall."
Xie Yunxiao and Prince Anyang understood what he meant. They looked at each other and Xie Yunxiao sneered, "Okay, since my mother is no longer a member of the Xie Mansion, please return my mother's things to the Xie Mansion."
Marquis Xie was stunned. He only wanted to draw a clear line between Xie Yunxiao and his mother and the Marquis' Mansion. If they wanted to investigate what happened back then, he could just refuse. They were not from the Marquis' Mansion, so how could he investigate in the Mansion?
But one thing was overlooked: the entire marquis's mansion was supported by Su's dowry.
Xie Yunxiao looked at Lord Xie, "Sever ties, remove my mother's spirit tablet from the Xie family ancestral hall, and return my mother's dowry. Second, investigate the cause of my mother's death. Lord Xie, choose one."
Xie Hou stared at Xie Yunxiao, and Xie Yunfeng at the side came out to smooth things over, "Fourth brother, why make such a fuss? I know that father has been thinking about me these years, and you feel uncomfortable.
But my eldest brother is weak and has no skills, not as capable as you, so father prefers him a little more.
Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. Naturally, your father has also made plans for you.
Now, you have had such a quarrel with your father just for a girl. If it gets out, it will be bad for both you and the girl.
Admit your mistake to your father, and the matter will be over. Your father won't hold it against you."
Xie Yunxiao laughed loudly, "Brother, I never said a word that my father favors you from the beginning to the end. I came here to seek an explanation for my mother. You don't need to warn me with words, let alone be sarcastic.
I don't care about my reputation, and neither does the girl you threatened me with.
But I want to remind you, brother, that girl doesn't have a good temper. I saw it with my own eyes. She chopped people's heads off like melons without even blinking an eye.
I advise you not to provoke him, otherwise she will chop you into pieces even if she wants to die together with him."
"Xie Yunxiao!" Xie Hou stood up and lowered his voice. These three words carried a threatening tone.
Prince Anyang raised his hand to interrupt, "Okay, Lord Xie, since General Xie has said so and produced evidence, in my opinion, this matter should be brought before the Emperor for a final judgment."
Marquis Xie bowed to Prince Anyang and said, "Your Majesty, this is a family matter. How dare I bother Your Majesty?"
Prince Anyang sneered, "Family affairs do not bother Your Majesty. General Xie's marriage is also a family matter. The Marquis has been in front of the emperor quite frequently."
Xie Hou raised his eyes slightly and looked at Xie Yunxiao, "What do you want?"
