Chapter 325: Enraged

All the officials had always treated Xie Xian as a soft persimmon, relying on Emperor Yu Heng’s smelly feet to serve others, doing all kinds of dirty and tiring work.
Who knew that in public today, with so many pairs of eyes watching, he actually dared to brush off the Emperor like this?
The one who made the Crown Prince apologize was Emperor Yu Heng. If he did not accept the Crown Prince’s apology, wouldn’t that be disrespecting the Emperor?
Everyone was shocked. Minister Xie went berserk.
Actually, only Emperor Yu Heng wasn’t too shocked.
Outsiders watched the show, while insiders watched the show. He was the Emperor, and the person he usually faced was Xie Xian. This kid looked gentle like jade, but in reality, he could always find all kinds of excuses to not do things he did not want to do. As the Emperor, he had encountered all kinds of soft rejections.
In front of so many people, losing face at the Crown Prince’s place, it was not strange that Xie Xian’s temper became stubborn.
In life, one only cares about one’s face. If you put someone’s face on the ground and step on it, would they care about you?
“You, go back to the Eastern Palace and reflect on your mistakes!”Emperor Yuheng angrily pointed at the prince, pointed at his sleeve and left.
The Crown Prince stood where he was. His face was hot and his ears were buzzing. It was even more demeaning than being slapped by the Emperor in public. His eyes were dark, like a storm.
He looked up and saw the contemptuous look of the Xin ‘an King before he turned around.
At that time, he seemed to have heard the sound of a string breaking in his head.

Xie Xian had always been a man of his word. If he said that he was unwell, he would take the ox cart back to the Xie residence. He had thought that he would have to wait until evening before Xiao Baoxin could return to the manor, but who knew that the entire family would return in a grandiose manner at noon.
Although Mother Xie didn’t ask anyone to investigate, it was impossible to hide the commotion at the Imperial Platform. It didn’t take long for the news to spread to Ruyi Pavilion.
Mother Xie panicked when she heard this. No one knew what was going on, and she was afraid that her grandson would suffer.
Originally, after the dragon boat, according to the usual practice of the past years, they had to go to the suburbs for a walk. Mother Xie did not have the mood to have fun, and Lady Yuan was even more anxious.
Lady Cai was already pregnant, so she didn’t want to go to crowded places. She was getting old, and it wasn’t easy to give birth. She didn’t even dare to cough too loudly, afraid that it would shock the baby in her stomach. If she went back to the residence alone, she would seem unsociable. However, when she saw that Mother Xie was not in the mood, she followed her back.
Mother Xie didn’t want to make a big deal out of this matter. If word got out, it would make the Xie family jittery and frightened, so she instructed Madam Wang to bring the younger generation to the suburbs to have fun.
Xiao Baoxin didn’t want to join in and returned to the Xie Manor.
Mother Xie didn’t even return to Yi An Hall when she entered the manor. Instead, she went straight to Rong An Hall. Lady Cai’s mouth was almost reaching her chin. She knew that her mother-in-law was biased, but her heart was too biased. He didn’t care about his seniority and went straight to the junior’s room. According to the rules, shouldn’t Xie Xian be asked to meet at Yi An Hall?
In the past, her mother-in-law was the most polite. Any son or nephew who came to her side would be well-behaved. It was the same for the eldest son that the mother-in-law valued the most. Who would have thought that the grandson would change completely? It was simply distorted and deformed. He was afraid that he would melt in his mouth and be blown away by a gust of wind.
She thought this way in her heart, but she didn’t say it out loud. She was the wife of a concubine, so she just cursed in her heart.
In terms of grievances, the third branch was even more aggrieved. That was the Di son and Di daughter-in-law.
She wanted to put on an act and go over to take a look, but she was stopped by Mother Xie’s words. She had a body and shouldn’t be tired.
It was not appropriate. She had been working hard all morning.
That meant that he had said something behind her back.
Lady Cai didn’t say much and twisted her body to return to the Second household. Her husband was on the Crown Prince’s side, but Xie Xian was loyal to the Xin ‘an Prince’s side. If there was anything, he wouldn’t reveal it to her.
Only Mother Xie, Madam Yuan, and Xiao Baoxin went to Rong An Hall together. Xie Xian was practicing calligraphy in the study. When he heard Qing Feng report that Grand Madame had arrived, he hurriedly went out to welcome her.
Seeing him with her own eyes, Mother Xie’s worried heart instantly relaxed.
“What happened? 1 heard that the Crown Prince beat you up?”
It was the pot of rumors again, and the rumors spread badly.
Xie Xian smiled.” Not at all. The Crown Prince was just angry and couldn’t control himself. He tugged at my clothes.”Then, he briefly explained the matter without any whitewashing.
Hearing this, Mother Xie could only sigh.
“You… It’s good that you’re fine.” She looked at him and didn’t say anything.
Madam Yuan was Xie Xian’s biological mother, so she never hid anything when she spoke.”Xin ‘an King and Crown Prince are fighting for the throne. You are choosing a side. Even if you want to be the vanguard, it should be the two of them. Who didn’t know the Crown Prince’s personality? If the Emperor didn’t stop him, he would have chopped you up on the spot…Xin ‘an King is still uncertain whether he will win or lose, you really shouldn’t take the risk.”
“If such a thing happens again in the future, you must not be impulsive. You are not alone. The entire Xie family is following behind you. Do you know how worried your grandmother was when the news spread? When you grow up, you have your own opinions, but you can’t be too self-centered.”
His words were clear enough. It was obvious that he was certain that Xie Xian’s handiwork was inside. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have put himself in danger.
So what if he contradicted the Crown Prince? Which aristocratic family had not contradicted the Emperor before?
If even the Emperor dared to stand up, what more did the Crown Prince have?
Listening to her, Xie Xian waved his hand and smiled.”Mother, do you really think I’m that stupid? Knowing that the Crown Prince is a mad dog and still provoking him—Let alone the Crown Prince’s concubine Sun shi, even the sister-in-law of his nanny’s second son’s daughter-in-law gave birth to a twin, I know about this. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be undefeated in a hundred battles. Sun Sheng, as a commoner, rose to be a councilor in one year, and in two years, he’s going to rise again. How can 1 not pay attention?”
Madam Yuan and Mother Xie looked at each other.” I’m afraid that others have misunderstood you.”
Xie Xian, however, did not care at all.” How can one not be misunderstood in life? I don’t care.””
Mrs. Yuan also knew her son’s stubborn temper, so it was useless to persuade him. She instructed him to take good care of himself at home.”Since you’ve taken leave, stay at home for a few more days.”
At this point, she finally realized that ever since Xiao Baoxin entered the family, her son had never been sick again. Other than this incident, he hadn’t taken a day off at home for almost two months. It was really rare.
“You’ve been busy recently and don’t have time to accompany Baoxin. It just so happens that there’s this opportunity. You two can take good care of yourselves at home.”
Xie Xian smiled but did not say anything. If it was as expected, Emperor Yu Heng would have summoned him by tomorrow at the latest. If he was short-tempered, he would not be able to rest until today. However, he could not bear to refute Lady Yuan’s love for her son.
Mother Xie and Lady Yuan sat for a while longer. Seeing that Xie Xian was indeed not affected at all, they left in relief.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said as they walked,
“This granddaughter-in-law is the right one. All Lang’s health is clearly improving.”
“.. That’s right, Baoxin was blessed.”
“It won’t be wrong to give birth to a child in the future.”
“It’s true-”
“Let him learn martial arts from Bao Xin since he was young. Look at Bao Xin’s body. He must have practiced martial arts since he was young.”
“I’ll listen to mother-in-law.”
“If I can live a few more years and watch my child grow up, how lucky would 1 be…lt’s good that the world is peaceful.. If it’s peaceful, we can live a few more years…”
