“Regardless of whether Madam Yin sued Eldest Lady Xiao or Eldest Lady Xiao was wronged and sued Madam Yin, what does it have to do with me?” Why did the emperor summon me into the palace?”

Didn’t this matter happen in the Xie residence? Forgive me for saying this, but isn’t it natural to summon the constant attendant in?”

“That’s right. But if I don’t know anything, what’s the use of entering the palace?”Xie Xian smiled.” Eunuch, please wait for a moment. Have some refreshments first. I will only enter the palace to reply to the Emperor after I have sorted out the matter.””

If you don’t have hair on your mouth, you can’t do things well. Why is Minister Xie so reliable if you don’t have hair on your mouth?

Wei Desheng had to admit that the Emperor doted on Xie Xian not just because of his looks. Xie Xian had indeed understood the Emperor’s will. He could even guess what the Emperor meant when he had not finished his sentence. Where could one find such a talent?

In less than half a month, the Emperor could not wait to recall him back to his side.

He knew that the Emperor was going to summon him into the palace, so he had already started preparing. It was a lot easier to get along with such a person.

“Chang Shi is the ruler’s heart, strange that the emperor can’t leave Chang Shi.”

“It’s nothing. I’m just sharing His Majesty’s worrics.”Xie Xian looked a little tired. After a busy day, he wanted to have a good rest. He didn’t expect that after the guests were sent away, this matter suddenly happened again.

His body wasn’t very good to begin with, and he was a little tired after a day of torment.

Fortunately, Qing Feng was capable. After a round of investigation in the Xie residence, he finally managed to find out some things.

Wei Desheng didn’t wait long before Qing Feng brought the dossier to Xie Xian.

Xie Xian’s body was weak, so he only needed to give an order for some things to be done by his subordinates. His subordinates had also practiced it, including Ming Yue, who was a little talkative in front of him. Each of them could take on one side alone.

“.. The maid who followed the Second Lady had confessed that it was indeed the Second Lady and her gang who had planned to teach the Eldest Lady a lesson. The thing they had given was the croton powder that the Fourth Lady, Xie Chan, had brought from the room. The granny had confirmed that there was indeed a bag of croton powder missing, a meal’s worth.”

Qing Feng replied in an orderly manner,

“It has been confirmed that there is a vine of thunder god growing in the garden of the Xie residence. There arc also some in the backyard where the ladies play. However, most of them grow in secluded places. In the past, the servants thought that they had cleaned them up.”

“This lowly one has asked the maids who serve in the backyard. Most of the ladies are playing in the waterside pavilion. There are also a few who have gone deeper. They are our manor’s Fifth Lady Xie Juan, Cai Clan’s Thirteenth Lady, Qi Clan’s Fifth Lady, and Zhou Clan’s Third Lady.”

Without waiting for Xie Xian to speak, Third Master Xie’s voice suddenly came from outside the door,”

“Xie Xuanhui, what do you mean by that? Your servants are running amok in the residence and capturing people everywhere?”

With that, Third Master Xie strode into the house. The flesh on his body trembled with his speed. Following closely behind him was Second Master Xie.

Second Master Xie was two years older than Third Master. He was thin and elegant, with two long strands of beard on his chest. His face was rather gloomy. When he saw that there were outsiders in the room, he could not help but be stunned.

“This is…Eunuch Wei, what a rare guest.” Third Master Xie nodded at Wei Desheng and looked at Xie Xian with an even darker expression.

Wei Desheng was used to seeing the eyes of these aristocratic families on the top of their heads. They did not even care about the royal family. It was normal for them to be indifferent to him. The great clans were noble and lofty.

“I’ve been ordered by the Emperor to invite Attendant Xie.”Wei Desheng’s smile faded.

Third Master Xie’s face stiffened when he heard the term ” Attendant Xie.” He was a third-grade official, and his nephew was also a third-grade official. However, his official position was just a non-official position. It sounded good to be conferred by the emperor, but it looked good to be hung up. However, a non-official riding attendant had real power, so the value was different.

In the past, regardless of seniority or position, he had always been above Xie Xian, so he had the confidence.

Now that he was a Rank-3 with real power, he felt uncomfortable.

Even though his own brother had crushed him in all sorts of ways since he was young, he had admitted it. He did not even have the slightest bit of dissatisfaction when pointing at his nose and scolding him. He was indeed talented, capable, and good-looking. In short, other than his poor health, he was good in everything else.

The problem was that the one who was crushing him in all aspects was now Xie Xian, this junior. Third Master Xie was not convinced.

Moreover, this junior had caused the Xie family to fall from the clouds to the bottom of the valley. In the past, who wouldn’t praise him when they went out? Now, they were mocking him with just a few words. It was as if they were digging up their ancestral graves! Even his fair-weather friends who usually gathered together were making fun of him. Seeing that he was not worthy, this was unbearable.

“Xuan Hui, uncle has something to tell you here. Is it possible…”

The gaze that swept over was very obvious. It meant that he wanted to take Xie Xian out and properly punish him.

Xie Xian also agreed quickly.” I’m afraid that won’t do. The Emperor is urging me urgently. Nephew is in a hurry to enter the palace. If there’s an urgent matter, why don’t Uncle come with me to the carriage? Let’s talk in the carriage.””

Was he going to scold them in the car and make a fool of himself in Jiankang City?

Second Master Xie winked at Third Master Xie,”Then let’s wait for Xuan Hui to come back.”

Third Master Xie did not even look at Second Master Xie. He glared at Xie Xian.” Get in the car!”

There were some things that he had to say. If he didn’t, he was afraid that his nephew would sell the entire Xie family out.

Since Third Master Xie had opened his mouth, Xie Xian could not refuse. He invited Wei Desheng to sit in the palace carriage alone. The uncle and nephew sat in the Xie family’s own ox cart behind.

“What do you want? The one who caught this in the residence?” Third Master Xie did not wait for the car to start moving and impatiently grabbed Xie Xian’s hand. He lowered his voice and said angrily,

“The palace just summoned Second Mother, Fourth Mother, and Fifth Mother into the palace, and you’re already making such a big move in the residence. Tell me, what exactly is going on?”

“Yuan Jiu Niangzi was poisoned.” Xie Xian briefly explained the matter. Hearing this, Third Master Xie’s jaw almost dropped to the floor of the carriage, and his face turned green.

“Middle middle middle middle middle poison?” Are these girls playing so hard now?

Third Master Xie then thought about Xie Xian’s actions in the residence.” Are you suspecting our family’s maids and thinking of selling them out? Xie Xian, let me tell you-”

“No.” Xie Xian had grown up and rarely interrupted others. His upbringing did not allow it.

However, he had no choice. Third Master Xie was too agitated, and his voice was getting higher and higher. If he continued to speak, the entire street would know that the Xie residence was involved in the poisoning case.

“What?” Third Master Xie was stunned.” Speak properly. It’s nothing.””

“I want to clear the suspicion in our residence, so I completely eliminated it. Otherwise, if we can’t get rid of it cleanly with the Emperor, our future will be ruined. At the very least, it was over for Epsilon.”

“Then…If it’s our residence’s Wifey.” When he said this, he knew that he had lowered his voice. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was right next to Xie Xian’s ear, Xie Xian really wouldn’t have been able to hear what he had said.

“No.” Xie Xian said indifferently. “Uncle, don’t worry about this. I’ll take care of everything..”
