The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes
Chapter 42 Go with the flow
At the gate, Lord Xie was already waiting there.
When he saw his wife coming out, he went up to say hello, but as he was in a hurry, he didn't say much.
Lord Xie, Xie Zhibai, and Xie Lingxi and his daughter arrived at the carriage.
However, Lord Xie's carriage was to take him to court, so he could not go to the academy with him today.
But the person Xie Lingxi and Xie Zhibai were going to meet today was the Fifth Prince after all, and the Fifth Prince had helped a lot, so Lord Xie could not just ignore it.
He looked at the two of them and gave them instructions.
"Zhibai, Lingxi, this time our Changping Marquis Mansion was able to climb out of the pit of Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, thanks to the help of the Fifth Prince. We must thank him very much, but the Fifth Prince has always disliked interacting with court officials, and I don't know much about him."
"The people who were sent out to inquire came back and said that the Fifth Prince seemed to have told those scholars in the teahouse that he really liked rare books. I specially collected a few of them as a thank you gift. You can take them to the Fifth Prince."
As he was speaking, Lord Xie raised his hand, and the butler handed over the wrapped unique copy, which Lord Xie personally handed to Xie Zhibai.
Xie Zhibai took it and nodded.
"Don't worry, father. We will definitely deliver it."
Xie Lingxi also smiled and nodded. She felt that her father was very concerned because she had heard about the Fifth Prince in her previous life. He seemed to be quite interested in these rare calligraphy and paintings. It was said that he had collected quite a few of them. It would not be wrong to give this as a gift.
Lord Xie stroked his beard and raised his chin slightly. Then his eyes became sharp and he snorted coldly.
"Those who have done favors to our family must be remembered. Our Xie family has always been repaying kindness and revenge!"
When saying this, Lord Xie looked at Xie Lingxi with a serious tone.
"Lingxi, don't worry. The Cheng'en Marquisate did something like this and caused a great uproar in the city. There must be a follow-up. Although they were called into the palace and reprimanded yesterday, this is not enough. They must be taught a lesson anyway!"
A look of sarcasm appeared on Lord Xie's face.
"It's not that I, Xie Yunchuan, am arrogant. Our Xie family is well-known in the capital. The Third Prince and Imperial Concubine Wan wanted to use our marriage relationship to win over our Xie family and asked the Emperor to grant us a marriage. They forced us to agree. This is simply forcing others to do something against their will and is a domineering act."
"I originally thought that if I couldn't resist, then forget it. Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion is also a marquis's family, which can barely be considered a good match, so I'll just marry him. But I didn't expect that the Cheng'en Marquis's family is full of black-hearted people."
"They are the people of the Third Prince and the Imperial Concubine, and they have been hooking up with each other for many years. Don't these two know what kind of people the Xiao family is? But they still let that bastard Xiao Yusheng marry my daughter. It's obvious that they don't take our Xie family seriously!"
Lord Xie became angrier as he spoke.
"In that case, I, Xie Yunchuan, will show them today that my Xie family is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by anyone!"
Xie Lingxi and her eldest brother looked at each other, then curiously pulled her father's hand and asked.
"Dad, what do you want to do? I know you are very angry, but you have to think twice before doing anything. The Third Prince is the Emperor's son after all. It's understandable that you want to deal with the Cheng'en Marquisate, but it's not that easy to target the Third Prince..."
Xie Lingxi was worried that her father would do something stupid to vent his anger on her. If she really wanted to deal with the Third Prince, she couldn't do it in the court, under the eyes of all the civil and military officials.
Even if I secretly find someone to beat up the Third Prince——
Although this is unlikely to be achieved, at least there will be no handle left. The most taboo thing for an official in the court is to give others a handle. Their Xie family cannot withstand any storm.
The more Xie Lingxi thought about it, the more nervous she became, and her hands clenched tighter.
Lord Xie could hear his daughter's concern and worry, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little girl, your father is not a fool, how could I do anything in public?"
He looked around and spoke meaningfully to his daughter and son.
"I just said that our Xie family is well-known in the capital. The Third Prince is so powerful and wants to win us over. Will the other princes remain indifferent?"
"This time, the Third Prince failed to gain anything. The stupid family of Cheng'en Marquis's family showed their true colors before the wedding, allowing us to see the situation clearly and get out of it in advance. In the eyes of outsiders, we will definitely not have anything to do with the Third Prince's faction anymore."
"Then the other princes, whether they want to take advantage of the situation to beat up the fallen dog or to show us goodwill and help us to win over our Xie family, will all take action against that bastard Xiao Yuanshan."
Then Lord Xie said mysteriously, "Someone sent a letter last night. Guess who sent it?"
Xie Lingxi was helpless: "Father, please stop keeping me in suspense."
Xie Zhibai also said: "Father, we still have to go to Qingfeng Academy, can you finish your words quickly?"
Lord Xie curled his lips, but he had to hurry to court, or rather, hurry to see Xiao Yuanshan make a fool of himself, so he said.
"Okay, last night there was a letter from Censor Zhang, in which he denounced the shameless behavior of the Cheng'en Marquis's family. He was filled with righteous indignation and said in the letter that he would definitely impeach Xiao Yuanshan in the morning court today, saying that he had caught a lot of Xiao Yuanshan's tricks and would let the emperor severely punish the Cheng'en Marquis's family."
When Xie Lingxi heard the three words "Zhang Yushi", she couldn't help but recall them in her mind.
Had she heard of this name in her previous life?
After thinking about it, it really reminded her.
This Censor Zhang seems to be the Sixth Prince's man, but he didn't seem to have done anything earth-shattering in his previous life...
However, the censors were all a group of quarrelsome people who wanted to leave their names in history. What was needed was the ability to quarrel, jump and dance.
Some were even so daring as to point at the emperor's nose and scold him for doing wrong things.
Of course, this is something only young and inexperienced people can do. Some old censors have become figures in history books, and the reason is nothing more than one: they are dead.
The difference is dying of old age or "dying for the country".
Although the duty of the censor is to point out the problems, no matter whether it is the emperor or the ministers, they are all human beings after all, and no one will be happy if someone scolds them at every turn.
So under normal circumstances, even if the censor wanted to impeach someone, he had to choose someone, such as the protagonist of a well-known scandal, or preferably the enemy.
This Censor Zhang is originally the Sixth Prince's man, so he will definitely not pick a fight with the Sixth Prince. He will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity as Xiao Yuanshan, who is from the Third Prince's faction, doing something stupid.
Although I don't have much impression of this Censor Zhang in my memory.
Of course, it is also possible that I am indeed ignorant and have never heard of what great things the other party has done.
But all we need to know is that the master behind this Censor Zhang is the Sixth Prince, which means that the Sixth Prince does intend to win over the Xie family.
The Sixth Prince has taken action, so how long will the other princes take?
Besides, this Censor Zhang is just playing a role of throwing out bricks to attract jade.
