Chapter 1160: Side Story, Making A Scapegoat of His Son
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Xie Shu and Xie Wu were ten years old, some of the officials in the court were tempted and submitted a memorial to Emperor Xiao Jing, saying that it was time to add new people to the harem.
Logically speaking, Xie Jingxing should have been tired of having only one woman by his side after so many years. The officials thought that it was just the right time to add some women to the harem.
When Luo Tan heard this, she rushed to the palace with Feng Anning angrily and said, “Are these people rebelling? Why do they care so much about other people’s family matters? Dont they have a family of their own to take care of?”
More than ten years had passed, but Luo Tan’s hot-tempered personality had not changed. This was probably because Gao Yang indulged her. It was rare for people to remain unchanged for many years. Luo Tan also had a son called Gao Zicheng who was two years younger than Xie Shu and Xie Wu. Gao Zicheng resembled Gao Yang both in appearance and personality. He was obedient on the surface, but he loved to do bad things with Xie Wu. Luo Tan said, “Cousin, why dont we get someone to beat up these people so that they wont dare to be nosy in the future?”
“It’s not that simple.” Feng Anning said, “It’s not something Miao can handle alone. In my opinion, Xie Jingxing is to blame. Those officials won’t shut up unless he makes it clear.”
Feng Anning had changed from an arrogant lady to a calm and collected madam. Back then, because of that incident, Feng Anning grew up a lot overnight. After living with Shen Qju for a long time, she was naturally influenced by him.
She had a daughter who was only six years old now. Her name was Shen Shu.
She usually followed behind Xie Shu, Xie Wu, and Gao Zicheng and called them “Brother” non-stop. Shen Shu t s personality was not like Feng Anning’s, nor was she like Shen Qju’s. She was so sweet that it made people want to dote on her.
Luo Tan said, “I think Brother-in-law has already done a good job, but those officials feel that their daughter is as beautiful as a fairy. No matter what, they wont give up on the thought of sending their daughter to the palace. Cousin is a virtuous and magnanimous empress, but these people still try to find fault with her. Hey, Cousin, why arent you saying anything? Why are you still in the mood to drink tea?”
Shen Miao’s expression did not change. She held the teacup and took a sip. She said, “When it’s going to rain, it will rain. What can I do?”
She was really not anxious at all.
After so many years, Shen Miao did not age. Instead, she became even more beautiful. She was like a jade artifact that had been carefully nurtured by someone, becoming more and more lustrous and beautiful. Her personality was also becoming calmer and calmer, and she rarely got angry. It was as if the girl who used to scheme against others had disappeared.
Seeing her like this, Luo Tan said dejectedly, “You’re really broad-minded. Didn’t you think that if Brother-in-law is bewitched and really takes in a consort, you’ll see him less often in the harem? If Gao Yang dares to do this, I’ll immediately divorce him. But you’re different. You can’t divorce him easily. Are you going to hold your anger in?”
Shen Miao did not take it seriously. She smiled and said, “If he really wants to take beauties into the palace, I’ll go and find gigolos. There are many beautiful men in the world too.”
Luo Tan and Feng Anning were dumbfounded..
