In the Dafang Baoshutang, Xie Xian looked at Xie An who was sitting in front of the chessboard. The elegant and noble young man seemed out of place in this world.

"Brother." Xie Xian walked forward with a smile.

Xie An put down the book in his hand, looked up at Xie Xian, and there was a barely perceptible hint of joy on his gentle face.

"Ah Xian." Since Xie Xian left in anger last time, she has never come to his place again. He looked at Xie Xian seriously.

Xie Xian walked to Xie An's desk, picked up a chess piece and played with it between her fingers.

"I've been busy with discipline recently, and I caused quite a mess yesterday." She was really tired! It was hard to find time to go out for a walk.

Xie An frowned slightly, thinking of Ze Yue's matter, and said calmly: "Gambling is a bad habit and the source of ruining a family. Ah Xian did the right thing."

Xie Xian leaned on the table and looked at Xie An lazily.

"This time I came here to ask you about the Changle Casino in the west of the city!" After Zhao Quan left, there was no movement, and no one knew what Bai Lingjun was planning.

Xie An's face darkened, obviously quite dissatisfied with the existence of Changle Casino, but he did not expect Ah Xian to act so quickly.

"Ah Xian is going to clean up the Changle gambling house?" He wondered, hearing that Ze Yue had returned to the clan. What was Xie Xian still worried about?

Xie Xian smiled slyly and shook her head.

"There's no need to clean it up, but I just want to ask you, big brother, do you know who owns the land of the Changle Casino?"

Xie An hesitated for a moment, then replied, "It's from the Cui family."

Xie Xian's eyes flickered. The Cui family, the Cui family again. Oh my god, my partner really has a wide range of business!

"Cui Dalang's family? That's what a coincidence." She came closer.

Xie An saw that Xie Xian looked strange, so he asked gently, "Why is Ah Xian suddenly concerned about this land?"

Xie Xian rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, you know that gambling houses are full of filth and are so close to our Xie clan. It's really not appropriate."

"Ah Xian has a point."

"I thought so too, so I came to ask my elder brother if there is any solution."

Xie An pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The Cui family has considerable influence in Que County. You have to ask Cui Jing about this matter. He is in charge of grain within the clan." It might be difficult to get his hands on this land.

"I don't have to get it. I just want them to find other ways to make a living." Her demands were not high. She just wanted them not to open a gambling house or a brothel in front of her house.

Xie An looked at Xie Xian, a hint of doting in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Ah Xian. I'll find a way to deal with this matter."

Xie Xian nodded with satisfaction. After all, since it was about Cui Jing, she couldn't go over her elder brother's head.

After what happened last time, she always felt a little uncomfortable facing Xie An. She felt like she was a bit of a scumbag, as if every time she came to see her elder brother she had something to ask for, and then she would forget about him after the task was completed.

Could it be that my handsome elder brother is just a scumbag? It must be that whimpering freak Cui Jing who gave me this illusion.

She was about to say goodbye when Xie An asked, "By the way, a few days ago, you saved Cui Jing on the Huai River. Are you all right?"

Xie Xian was stunned for a moment, then she remembered what happened that day, and thought to herself, it turns out that my elder brother also knew about this. She thought about how to tell Xie An, but she couldn't tell him everything.

"It was just an accidental encounter. I can't just stand by and watch him die." Xie Xian acted indifferent.

Xie An looked at Xie Xian, his gaze swept across Xie Xian's red lips, his eyes as deep as the sea.

In a calm tone, he said, "Cui Jing is a playboy. Ah Xian should avoid associating with him in the future."

Xie Xian secretly complained in her heart, "Brother, are you jealous? I don't want to be a part of your PLAY."

"Don't worry, brother. He and I are just doing business with each other." She assured him seriously with clear eyes.

After Xie Xian finished speaking, she stood up and said goodbye.

Xie An watched Xie Xian leave, picked up the chess piece that fell on the couch, and stroked it gently.

Zhi Mo came in to add more tea, and Xie An asked, "How is Ze Yue now?"

Zhi Mo lowered his head and said, "I am recovering at home. I was whipped twenty times yesterday. My lady, please be considerate and give me the remaining twenty lashes after I am better."

"Where is Aye?" He was originally planning to win over Ze Yue this time, but Xie Zhong didn't want someone who couldn't be controlled to appear in the first house, so he leaked the news to the Wen family.

He didn't take any action but just watched, wanting to see what choice Ze Yue would make. However, no one expected that it was the second house that rescued Ze Yue in the end.

"Patriarch, several sets of tea sets were smashed yesterday, and the lady couldn't stop them." Zhi Mo curled his lips. This is what the lady called impotent rage.

Zhi Mo glanced outside and said with some worry, "During this period, everyone has paid a lot of attention to the Second House. It seems that the Lady is overwhelmed by it."

Xie An chuckled and slowly placed a piece on the chessboard: "This is perfect. Now we have a cover-up. Aye and I, the eldest wife, haven't reached the last step yet." The outcome is unknown.

Zhi Mo hesitated and sighed, "Why are you doing this, my dear?" If he had used the power of Longxi directly, he would definitely have been able to get the position of clan leader, instead of nibbling away at it bit by bit like now. This made Xie Zhong and the Lu family look bad.

After Zhi Mo left, Xie An placed the black and white pieces in a chess game and said calmly, "This is more interesting, isn't it?"

Xie Family Ancestral Hall.

Suo Lao squatted on the doorstep, yawned loudly, and the copper rings in his hands jingled.

"Have you harvested all the beans?" Xie Yun gathered the fallen leaves together with a broom in his hand.

Suo Lao said weakly, "Okay! I've put it away." He raised the keys in his hand and looked carefully, it seemed that there were a few new ones.

Xie Yun laughed and scolded: "Hey! You really deserve to be a rat." He turned around without even looking at the old man's smug face.

"My lord, would you like to meet the lady regarding yesterday's incident at the gambling house?" Old Suo perked up.

The people from their Qianji Camp will be here soon, and the lady should have some people around her by then. She can't trouble the East Street guards for any problems. Not only will they be easily found guilty, but they will also be looked down upon.

Zhao Quan: Who do I dare to look down on?

"Okay, you decide on the arrangements!" Xie Yun nodded.

Suo Lao continued to lean on the door frame, and after a while he suddenly laughed out loud: "It's been very busy in the first house recently, and the raft they made was actually stepped on by the lady." When he thought about how Ze Yue from the first house insisted on coming to the second house to work yesterday, he grinned.

Xie Zhong's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but Xie Xian saved Ze Yue, so Ze Yue worked for the second house to repay her kindness, which was justified.

The eldest branch was not in the right in this matter. It was because the father and son were a step slow. Although Ze Yue was not a very good person, he was still capable of managing things.

Ze Yue was also smart. He knew that the main house was a pit of fire, so he used this as an excuse to jump out. However, seeing the disgusted look on Nvjun's face, Ze Yue didn't know if he could bear it.

He knew that when it came to settling accounts with Xie Xian, ten Ze Yues were no match for one Xie Miao. However, this was the first time that a branch of the family had come to join the Queen's side, so it was also a good start.

Xie Xian looked at the book in her hand, listened to Qing Dai's report, and complained in her heart: "What? Ze Yue? Who wants that old pervert to come and seek refuge with him!" Did she feel comfortable beating that guy these two days? This masochist.
