Chapter 623: Chapter 623-Bright Hope
Translator: 549690339
Granny Chen had married before, but her husband died not long after. A few years ago, she took a maid as her adopted daughter. She was originally just a little maid, but later, because of Granny Chen, she was promoted to be a big maid in front of Lady Yuan.
She was already old enough to make the decision to find a family this year. Who would have thought that she was born at the wrong time, just in time for Aunt Yuan to unleash her power and knock Xiao Baoxin into premature labor. The entire Cai family suffered a retaliatory blow, and the position of the family head was removed. The matriarch was actually ‘lucky’ to be locked up by the Emperor’s personal order before she was born, and was shut in to reflect on her mistakes.
Even if Granny Chen had the heart, she had to have the guts to do it. Not to mention that Granny Chen herself was in the middle of the whirlpool. Aunt Yuan even quarreled with Cai Qi to protect her.
This was the most difficult time for the Cai family. Not to mention an adopted daughter, even if it was her own daughter, Granny Chen would not dare to mention it.
Aunt Yuan had heard Granny Chen mention it before and thought that she would have to take care of her more in the future. It could also be considered as a lifetime of master-servant friendship with Granny Chen.

The news of Granny Chen’s death in the backyard had shocked the entire Cai Residence. In less than half a cup of tea’s time, Xie Xian had already received the news while sitting in the residence.
In less than a day, the news that the Xie family’s great madam and the Xie family’s madam were almost killed by the Guangde nunnery’s nun Yuan Hai had spread throughout Jiankang City. The reason why it spread so quickly was naturally because of the ‘intentional person’ Xie Moumou adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes.
Emperor Yong Ping received the news the next day and asked about Xie Xian at the court meeting.
Xie Xian only said that he had handed the matter over to the Jiankang Magistrate’s office and was waiting for the Jiankang Magistrate to investigate. All the officials thought,”This guy really thinks that the Jiankang order is his retainer. He stuffed everything into the Jiankang order.”
There was another group of people who thought they were wise and recognized that the Jiankang Order was Xie Xian’s lackey, and they had defected to the Xie residence.
They all ignored the law and order in the city, which was under the jurisdiction of Jiankang, which was Yan Dong’s job. No one felt that Xie Xian was abiding by the law. They were all thousand-year-old foxes. What fairness and fairness? Did they really think that others were fools? That was to fool those who didn’t know what they were doing. The high and mighty aristocratic families didn’t think that all living beings were equal. If they were equal, what were they? It must be a strict hierarchy.
You’re like a commoner in everything. If you have grievances, go to the yamen. How can you live?
In the past, what was the yamen? People who had to kneel at the entrance of their residence would call you master and give you a pair of nostrils if you were willing. If you weren’t willing, you would be treated as dog shit.
Xie Xian, on the other hand, pushed everything to the Jiankang Order. Previously, there was the battle between Xie Cai and Xi’s family. Now that the Xie family was almost killed, the Jiankang Order had to take care of it. Did he really think that he was a parent and an official?
With such a role model, it would be a miracle if their aristocratic families lived well.
Recently, there were already many small clans who had started to take the path of the government. In the past, it was still the elders who tried to mediate. Would it be over if the same clan jumped out to uphold justice?
Xie Xian is very harmful to people.
Wasn’t it someone else’s turn to harm him now?
There were also many people who clapped and cheered behind his back. Those who humiliated others would always be humiliated! Of course, these were all Xie Xian’s enemies. They had been dealt with by Xie Xian in the past or were currently being dealt with by him.
Emperor Yong Ping was afraid that Xie Xian would speak in an official tone, so he asked him again after the court session,
“Do you know which one?”
“The Jiankang magistrate is also investigating. My grandmother and mother are both women in the back house. My grandmother is old, and my mother worships Buddha all year round. She doesn’t care about worldly affairs. Even my third aunt takes care of the daily human relations. It was only recently that my wife took over as the housekeeper…I’m afraid that the murderer behind the scenes is targeting me.”
Emperor Yong Ping was really shocked. He did not expect such a thing to happen.
“What do you mean?”
The terrified look in her eyes had already explained everything clearly.
Emperor Yong Ping thought of something.
If he couldn’t defeat Xie Xian, he would use the death of his elder to force him to retire?!
Who was this?
“Ever since I served the previous emperor and then the emperor, I wholeheartedly shared the ruler’s worries. I have never colluded with the aristocratic families and have made many enemies.”Xie Xian frowned.
“However, if someone offends you, it must be a sinister and cunning villain. He bullies the weak and fears the strong. He doesn’t dare to face me in person, but he hurts women and children behind my back.”
At this point, his emotions clearly rose as he bowed to Emperor Yong Ping.
■’I hope Your Majesty can sympathize with my filial piety. No matter which one it is, I will not rest until I die!”
That was all he had to say.
In order to show that he was interfering behind the scenes, Emperor Yong Ping was inexplicably afraid that Xie Xian would mistake him for him and say these words for him to hear.
” Aiqing, what are you talking about? Isn’t this taken for granted? Filial piety was the first of all virtues. How could people be unfilial? Isn’t this the same as me? The deposed prince and I, how to fight to the death, the winner is the king, the loser is the enemy, I admit, skills are not as good as others. But he just had to make a move on Zhen’s mother consort…”
“How can I endure this?”
I can completely understand my beloved minister’s indignation! To the death, to the death, this was how it should be!”
Emperor Yong Ping stared at Xie Xian with wide eyes. The monarch and his subjects both wanted to laugh, but they held it in.
On the other hand, Duo Fu, who was listening to the whole story, twitched his mouth. Who wouldn’t believe the Emperor’s words today when he said that Xie Pushe was now the ruler of the world?
Emperor, was he expressing his loyalty to Xie Pushe?
It wasn’t that he was overthinking and biased, but who could his emperor hide his every move in the palace from?
The aristocratic families would skin him alive in minutes.
With the current situation, even if Xie Pushe fell, there would still be a second Xie Pushe, Xi Pushe, or Chu Pushe.
The Emperor couldn’t leave Xie Pushe at all. Everyone knew that there was no need to show his loyalty here. It was also a strange joke.
“In that case, I shall take my leave.””
Who is it? Emperor Yong Ping looked at Duo Fu.
Duo Fu:” I don’t know. Your Majesty is wise. What do you think?”
Emperor Yong Ping did not think that Duo Fu would know. It would be a ghost if he knew. A eunuch who was locked up in the palace all day and lost his freedom like him.
To be honest, Minister Xie has indeed offended too many people. I can’t remember at the moment.”
For the sake of the royal family, he had done his best and almost implicated his elders and relatives.

The incident of Mother Xie and Lady Yuan being almost killed continued to ferment, causing heated discussions. However, the investigation of the Jiankang Order encountered resistance. The matter was investigated and the clues of the Cai family’s gambling den were cut off. Even if it pointed to the Cai family, Yan Dong still could not do anything.
He did go to the Cai residence, but he was not even allowed to enter and was sent away.
The manager of the Cai family had said that the manager of the gambling den had always reported to him, but recently, the manager had not been doing his best. He had already reported to the family head that he would be replaced in a few days.
Now that he had died in the alley outside the gambling den, it had nothing to do with the Cai family. It must have been caused by the personal relationship of the manager. A pile of 625 was very clean.
It was not until a maid of the Cai family took the initiative to report the case to the Jiankang Yamen Office that things suddenly turned bright..
