The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

Xie Zhibai clicked his tongue.

"Tsk! This is indeed a big investment. If he doesn't have a bigger plan, what is he after? What does Lord Xiao want? In short, Xiao Yu'an must have a bigger intention for doing so much, an intention that is more important than fighting for the title! Even if it embarrasses the Xiao family, he has to do it, but I don't know what it is..."

All of a sudden, the Xie family fell into deep thought.

Yes, Xiao Yu'an went to great lengths and even got beaten up, but what was it all for?

If Lord Xiao's consent was really obtained, it would mean that Lord Xiao, who is so concerned about his reputation, also agreed to let the Xiao family lose face once.

But what is the purpose?

They were targeting the Xie family. Could it be that they were targeting the Xie family? But what did they want to do to the Xie family?

An idea suddenly flashed in Xie Lingxi's mind, and then she immediately looked at Xie Zhiqing and asked.

"By the way, Zhiqing, you said that Xiao Yu'an not only picked a fight with you, but also wanted to become Master Yang's disciple in public. How was his becoming a disciple? How did he have time to become a disciple when he was still arguing with you?"

Xie Lingxi finally discovered something was wrong.

Xie Zhiqing gets angry when he talks about this.

"Sister, it would have been fine if you hadn't asked me. Once you asked me, I couldn't suppress my anger. This Xiao Yu'an is really shameless. Didn't he first bring up Xie Ruyu to irritate me? I couldn't help but beat him up."

"When Master Yang came, he just asked about the situation normally, but Xiao Yu'an said that Master Yang favored me. He also said that Master Yang favored me because you and Madam Yang were godparents and I was your brother. I was very angry at the time!"

Xie Lingxi frowned slightly: "What did you say? Xiao Yu'an knows that my aunt and I are godparents? How did he know?"

Xie Zhiqing said unhappily.

"How should I know? He just sent someone to secretly watch us. After all, you didn't deliberately hide the fact that you adopted a godparent, right? But he even knew about this kind of thing, which shows how much effort he put in. Maybe, there will be someone watching you whenever you go out."

Xie Lingxi's expression looked grim, but she sneered. After asking for some details, she finally understood everything.

Especially when he knew that Xiao Yu'an was rude and disrespectful during the process of becoming his disciple, and was almost forced to become his disciple, he immediately understood -

Xiao Yu'an's so-called "apprenticeship" was fake, and the real purpose was to win over the Yang family.

After all, when it comes down to it, there are only a few ways to form cliques.

After the marriage, and then the master-disciple inheritance, they will be directly divided into the same camp by outsiders.

The previous marriage between the Xiao family and the Xie family was because the Third Prince wanted to win over the Xie family, but the Xie family had always refused, so the Third Prince secretly made efforts to directly arrange the marriage between the Xiao family and the Xie family.

However, because he was reborn and discovered the Xiao family's conspiracy in his previous life, he took the initiative to avoid it, and therefore this attempt to win over was unsuccessful.

But it is obvious that the Xiao family has not given up this old path. Now that the Xie family is gone, they are now targeting the Yang family.

The Yang family is indeed good and is completely neutral. If the Xiao family can win over the Yang family, then they will be considered to have some strength.

However, it is useless for the Xiao family to win over the Yang family. After all, they are still trying to win over the third prince.

Unfortunately, Master Yang didn't buy it and directly refused. Not only did the Xiao family suffer an unsatisfactory result, but their intentions were also exposed.

As Xie Lingxi thought about it, she finally understood the real purpose of the Xiao family's action today.

Xie Lingxi looked directly at the other members of the Xie family and said.

"I know why Xiao Yu'an, or Lord Xiao, made such a fuss today. It seemed that it was Xiao Yu'an's intention to fight for the title, but this was just a cover. The real purpose was to show loyalty to the Third Prince and increase the bargaining chips for the Xiao family."

"It seems that the news we deliberately released before has worked. The Xiao family cares a lot. The Xiao family really thinks that the Third Prince has extended an olive branch to our Xie family, and our Xie family has accepted it. The Xiao family is afraid that after the Third Prince gets our Xie family, he will look down on the Xiao family."

"This concerns the life and death of the Xiao family, so losing face is nothing. Lord Xiao is desperate this time, so he made Xiao Yu'an lose face and did this. Winning over Master Yang is one of their goals, but I think this is not the real purpose."

After a pause, Xie Lingxi spoke clearly.

"The real purpose is to show loyalty, and more importantly, to test the true relationship between our Xie family and the Third Prince!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and looked at Xie Lingxi in surprise.

Lord Xie asked directly: "Lingxi, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by testing our relationship with the Third Prince? How do we test it?"

Xie Lingxi narrowed her eyes and sneered.

"Didn't the educated youth beat up Xiao Yu'an? Although there were reasons for this, and it was Xiao Yu'an who provoked him first, it is a fact that Xie Zhiqing beat up Xiao Yu'an, and Master Yang later raised the matter to the level of a conflict between the two families."

"This is not a conflict between the educated youth and Xiao Yu'an, but a conflict between our two families. Of course, Master Yang is doing this for our own good. Our Xie family and the Xiao family have always had grievances, and if it rises to a conflict between our two families, we are in the right and it is more legitimate to deal with it."

"If it's a conflict between two juniors, Zhiqing may not be able to handle it alone. Master Yang said this so that our Xie family can come forward and settle the matter."

The others looked at each other, which made sense...

Xie Zhibai asked directly: "Lingxi, what's going on? How is this matter related to the Third Prince?"

Xie Lingxi stood up and spoke calmly.

"Brother, let me ask you, after what happened today, don't think about anything else. Just tell me, has our Xie family suffered a loss? Should we seek reconciliation from the Xiao family?"

Xie Zhibai was stunned at first, then he snorted coldly.

"Of course we have to settle accounts with the Xiao family. They themselves are not honest, so why do they want to provoke our Xie family? If we don't fight back this time, the next time the educated youth runs into Xiao Yu'an in the academy, won't we be bullied again?"

Xie Lingxi nodded and analyzed with a serious expression.

"That's right. In the final analysis, today's incident was caused by the Xiao family deliberately looking for trouble. Now that we know their purpose, we know they will definitely want a result. Our attitude is a result. If we suffer this loss this time, Xiao Yu'an will definitely find trouble again in order to force us to take action and to force us to react."

"Today they are looking for trouble with the educated youth. Next time they might look for trouble with my eldest brother or father. They might also look for trouble with my mother. Of course, they might also look for trouble with me. In short, the Xiao family will do everything they can to force our Xie family to take action."
