Gu Mingda was a little nervous, but still took the letter under the watchful eyes of all his family members.

After a long time, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "General Xie agreed to recognize his relatives."

"Thank God!" Zhang Yunniang clasped her hands together and couldn't help wiping her tears.

Mrs. Gu also sighed: "General Xie is such an enlightened person!"

Xie Xingchuan was actually not sure whether his adoptive father was willing to recognize him as his own. Now that there was such a result, he felt even more grateful.

"General Xie will be the benefactor of our Gu family in the future." Gu Mingda said to the others.

Mrs. Gu was the first to nod: "Our child needs his upbringing, and he has raised him to be so successful, even if General Xie is enshrined, it is not an exaggeration!"

"Great, can my brother stay at home for the New Year?" Niu Niu asked happily.

Gu Mingda immediately said: "It is better to cultivate kindness than to generate kindness. If General Xie is in the capital, where to celebrate the New Year will all depend on his orders."

When Xie Xingchuan heard what his father said, he felt relieved in his heart. He was afraid that the two families would get into trouble and make it ugly again.

"I hope Mrs. Xie can understand this." Gu Mingda said again.

When Xie Xingchuan heard the name, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He didn't think Mrs. Xie was such an easy talker, and the Lin family would not give up their only son just like that.

The Xie family also just received a letter from the border town.

"Sister, what did your brother-in-law say? Do you want to teach Xie Xingchuan, an unrelated white-eyed wolf, a lesson?" Mrs. Lin came over and asked.

Mrs. Xie read the letter at a glance, with an ugly look on her face.

"My husband asked me to agree to recognize my relatives. He said that the Gu family is on the rise now. Gu Mingda is in the emperor's heart. He has many allies and many paths. Don't offend him easily." Mrs. Xie said these words almost through gritted teeth.

Mrs. Lin was also very angry: "How come this sinner has such a good life? He was kidnapped and the general became his adoptive father. Now that he has found his family, his biological father is also the number one scholar. He really doesn't have to suffer at all!"

Mrs. Lin's whole face was twisted with jealousy. She only hated that such a lucky man was not her son.

Mrs.

Even though Mrs. Xie knew that Xie Xingchuan was not the concubine who killed her son, years of hatred had long formed a habit, and she still could not reconcile with Xie Xingchuan.

"Sister, even if they recognize each other, Xie Xingchuan is still your son in terms of etiquette and law. No one can change this. He should listen to you!" Mrs. Lin said.

Mrs. Xie looked at her sister-in-law hesitantly: "My husband wants me to get along well with the Gu family and interact with each other as normal relatives..."

Mrs. Lin immediately said: "That's because the Gu family doesn't want to be a relative with you. As a normal relative, who wouldn't help when such a big thing happens? It's because the Gu family won't give you, the general's wife, face, so what if you show some kindness? "

Mrs. Xie was immediately moved.

Mrs. Lin continued to encourage: "Don't the Gu family value Xie Xingchuan's son very much? Sister, you can't be too talkative. Now you have people go to Jingzhao Mansion to complain about Xie Xingchuan's unfilial piety."

Mrs. Xie frowned slightly: "This will make things difficult to deal with."

Mrs. Lin said: "Sister, you are too soft-tempered. If you don't show them how powerful you are, they will think that this son is in vain! At worst, when they are willing to help, we will go to Jingzhao Mansion to withdraw the complaint. !”

Mrs. Lin gave her husband and daughter another look.

Mr. Lin immediately said: "Sister, Taoer has always been the most filial to you!"

Lin Xuerou burst into tears: "Auntie, my brother is the only one left in my family now. If you don't care about him, he will die!"

Mrs. Xie was surrounded by almost all the Lin family members, and they were talking all over the place. Her mind gradually became drowsy, and in the end, the habits of many years took over.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Mrs. Lin and her family of three were very relieved.

Early the next morning, as soon as Jingzhao Fuyin got up, he heard crows outside the window cawing non-stop.

"Did something bad happen today?" Jingzhao Fuyin muttered softly.

When he entered the Yamen, someone immediately handed over the Xie family's certificate.

"Ah?" After Jingzhao Fuyin read the entire piece of paper, the confusion on his face almost solidified.

He didn't know that Xie Xingchuan was not Mrs. Xie's biological son. In the eyes of an outsider like him, Xie Xingchuan was almost perfect except for the scars on his face that he always wore a mask.

After all, at the age of fourteen, whose child can rely on merit to become a fifth-rank official in the capital, or a guard of the emperor, with a bright future ahead.

"What's going on in the Xie family? If mother and son don't get along, they're making trouble at home. Why do they come to the Yamen?" Jingzhao Fu Yin cursed.

The previous trouble caused by the Xie family's slaves can already reveal the awkward relationship between mother and son.

The Yin of the Jingzhao Prefecture thought about it: "This involves officials, so let's delay it for a while."

Mrs. Xie immediately discovered that the pleadings she had sent in had disappeared, but the Lin family's case had begun.

Because this matter involved Shen Changfeng, the case was submitted directly from Mizhou to Dali Temple in the capital.

Mrs. Xie almost used General Xie's face to the extreme, but it only delayed the start of the trial in Dali Temple for a few days.

Now that she was being dragged away by the Jingzhao Mansion in the same way, she felt extremely uncomfortable. Even if she sent General Xie's greetings several times to urge him, the Jingzhao Mansion still kept dragging him, saying that he was busy with things ahead. Small cases will be heard after a while.

As for how long to delay, Jingzhao Prefecture Yin thought that it would be enough to wait until Madam Xie forgot about it.

The Lin couple refused to forget: "Sister, Jingzhao Prefecture doesn't care, but you can't. At worst, we can go to Dali Temple and complain in front of everyone! Even if we can't prove Xie Xingchuan's crime, we must make him lose face!"

The Lin couple was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Although Dali Temple has not closed the case for his son yet, it will be in a day or two. How can they not be anxious?

Madam Xie had no choice but to send servants to Jingzhao Prefecture and Dali Temple to beat drums and complain in front of many ordinary people.

She brought the matter to the table, and the two families could not ignore it. Dali Temple quickly passed the buck and directly threw the matter to Jingzhao Prefecture.

Jingzhao Prefecture Yin was overwhelmed. He really couldn't figure out what kind of deep hatred a mother had to put her son to death.

At this time, in Taiji Hall, the emperor was listening to the report of the Dali Temple.

"Sir Shen was on duty in Mizhou in disguise. Because of the instructions of His Majesty, he did not dare to reveal his identity. After offending Lin Tao, he saw that the guard was about to be beaten to death by Lin Tao. He had few followers at the time and was not as numerous as Lin Tao. He had begged and even hinted that he was from the capital and had an extraordinary status, but Lin Tao still insisted on beating him to death to vent his anger."

"Your Majesty, the case is clear and the circumstances are serious. Lin Tao is cruel and should be sentenced to death to set the record straight!"
