Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Without thinking, Xie Jingliu said, “Marquis of Weining!” After saying that, he added, “The former Imperial Consort Lu’s maiden family, the Weining Marquis Residence, was later implicated in King Li of Zhou’s case and was demoted to Ning Yuanbo. Not long ago, he was implicated in the case of fraud in the examination. His entire family was imprisoned. He’s still locked up in the imperial prison. He hasn’t been tried or convicted.”
Yin Huaixi’s smile faded slightly. “The court officials and the vassal lords colluded with each other. Their crimes were complicit. The Imperial Court punished them. Do you think King Liang will rebel or not?”
He had been keeping Ning Yuanbo’s family around for this moment.
Xie Jingliu understood. “Now, not only is the Xie Residence facing a threat from the Imperial Court, but Quanzhou is the only way to enter the capital. Although it’s far from Liangzhou, it’s in sync. On the other hand, Quanzhou’s trade is prosperous and it’s a rich place in the southeast. If I were the King of Liang, I would definitely capture Quanzhou first and make preparations war.
When there are enough backup supplies, I can attack or retreat to defend.”
This news really caught the Xie family off guard. As the old saying went, one can never be too careful.
The Xie Residence had reacted to protect themselves, but they had never expected that the King of Liang would be forced to rebel.
If Yin Huaixi hadn’t reminded the Xie Residence, the Xie Residence would definitely suffer a calamity.
All of this was Yin Huaixi’s scheme, but the Xie family could not blame him. The King of Liang would rebel sooner or later. This was the calamity of the Xie family. Whether they would dodge the bullet or be consigned to eternal damnation, it had nothing to do with anyone.
Yin Huaixi smiled but said nothing.
Xie Jingliu’s gaze suddenly turned sharp. “It’s time for you to say that the vassal lords are rebelling. You, Yin Huaixi, are one of them. You’re forcing the Xie family to make a choice by placing the situation in front of me.”
The Xie family had no choice.
Yin Huaixi shook his head. “I won’t force the Xie family to make a choice.”
However, Xie Jingliu smiled sarcastically. “You sending my cousin to
Quanzhou is just a cover. Your real goal is to let the Xie family bring her to the North.” He sneered and finally realized that the person in front of him was the son of the famous King Li of Zhou, King Yue Fei. “You used a token to tie my cousin, and even the entire Xie family, to your side. Yin Huaixi, you’re really scheming.”
The cold wind on the top floor of the ship screamed, and the words that had just left his mouth were instantly swept away by the wind.
Yin Huaixi’s voice suddenly deepened. “The Xie family is indeed part of my plan, but…”
Xie Jingliu sneered. “Is this your goal for getting close to my cousin?” He grabbed Yin Huaixi’s lapel and glared at him. “Why did you implicate my cousin? She’s so innocent!”
He raised his fist and punched Yin Huaixi in the face.
Yin Huaixi took a step back, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
was in the wrong for hiding my identity from the Xie family. I owe you this punch. If it weren’t for Yao Yao, would 1 care about the life and death of the Xie family? The dog emperor reorganized Zhejiang and confiscated a large sum of money. This sum of money is only enough for disaster relief. Do you think that the wealth of Zhejiang is nothing?”
Xie Jingliu said in a flash, “Ye Hanyuan didn’t go to Zhejiang to stabilize the situation in Zhejiang at all. Instead, he went to take a step forward and stir up the situation in Zhejiang. He took advantage of the chaos to control the entire
Jiangnan, Jiangbei, South Zhili, and Fujian. The Imperial Court worked hard to reorganize the government in Zhejiang to only receive a hard-earned sum of money. The most important thing fell into your hands!”
This way, the entire central and southern hinterland was in Yin Huaixi’s hands.
Was Yin Huaixi short of money?
Xie Jingliu gasped. “Yin Huaixi, you…”
Yin Huaixi stared at him and said word by word, ‘1 1 must get it!”
Xie Jingliu was furious.
However, Yin Huaixi did not look at him. “She has been living in the Yu Residence for more than three years. For more than a thousand days and nights, I was the one who accompanied her to grow up bit by bit. When she wasn’t doing well in her studies, I guided her in her studies. When her handwriting wasn’t good, I guided her in practicing her calligraphy. When she despised the role of household manager and was tired, I helped her come up with ideas. When she liked incense medicine, I gathered all the wonders in the world. When she was unhappy, I coaxed her to be happy. When she was happy, I was also the one who shared it with her…”
Xie Jingliu had mixed feelings. Yin Huaixi’s words only indicated one thing. He and his little cousin had long overstepped the boundaries of men and women, as well as etiquette and rules.
All of this was with Old Madam Yu’s tacit approval.
It was also under his little cousin’s tacit approval.
Yin Huaixi smiled. “My family was destroyed and I was a disabled person, struggling to live. However, I still remember that on the first day I entered the Yu Residence, she held my hand and asked me if my leg still hurt.”
Xie Jingliu was stunned when he heard this. Wasn’t this an ordinary sentence? Why did Yin Huaixi take it to heart on their first meeting?
This was a very ordinary sentence. Why did it leave such a strong impression the moment they met? Yin Huaixi also found it funny. “Ever since I became disabled, the people around me have kept quiet about my leg. No one has ever brazenly asked me if my leg hurts in front of me.”
At that time, it was as if a bolt of lightning had suddenly shot into his heart, causing it to go numb.
An unfamiliar emotion arose that did not feel good. Just as he was about to expel this strange feeling, he noticed that the little girl was squatting in front of him and raising her little neck to ask this question. Her eyes were bright like the stars in the sky, making him dizzy. For some reason, he answered her.
At that time, he did not think much of this scene.
However, later on, he couldn’t help but recall the first time they had met. This little girl, who had been acknowledged by her family as having a
mischievous and stupid personality, was actually as pure as glass. She was also very good at observing appearances.
Even though it was the first time they had met, she had quietly helped him out three times.
Although it was meager, this pure kindness had given him a good impression.
This, he thought, was the fate between them.
Although Xie Jingliu couldn’t feel the same way about Yin Huaixi, he was a talented person that Mr. Xian Yun had mentioned. There was an innate pride in his bones. Even if he fell into the mud and was covered in dirt, he didn’t need anyone’s sympathy or even pity.
The sympathy and pity of the world were too cheap.
It was superficial kindness.
Behind this superficial kindness, why didn’t she have a “strange” and “different” gaze?
With her honest personality, even though Yin Huaixi was disabled, she could still treat him calmly and in fairness. This made hers eem even more precious.
Yin Huaixi was smiling. “She was the one who helped me up from the mud bit by bit. She prepared medicinal cuisine every day to nourish my body. Every time I had a leg problem, she was the one who worked hard to study all kinds of incense recipes and medicinal oil to help me relieve the pain. She was also the one who asked the Xie family for help and found the main medicine to nourish my body…”
Every word and sentence was an inseparable entanglement between Yin
Huaixi and his cousin. Xie Jingliu did not want to admit it, but he had to admit that Yin Huaixi had done better than the Xie family in the past three years.
Yin Huaixi replaced the Xie family and did what they couldn’t do.
He had sincerely protected his younger cousin for more than three years..
