After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

"Father, do you think that others don't know who he is? They just don't dare to say it." Xie Yunji gritted his teeth and said, "Did father forget what the Xie family motto is? There is such a regicide and usurpation in the family, but father didn't persuade him, and even indulged him and refused to recognize him?!"

"Do you want me to clean up the mess for the Xie family? He is the emperor now! If I acknowledge him, will people blame our Xie family? Humph!" Xie Zhihuan sneered, "It is better not to have anything to do with him, so as to preserve the good reputation of the Xie family."

Xie Tan today is no longer the same person he was before.

He had military merit and power first, unified the tribes in the north, wiped out the remnants of the previous dynasty, took Yecheng, and put down the rebellion. After he became emperor, he treated the wise and humble with respect, rectified the administration of officials, and acted like a wise ruler of all ages.

"You want me to persuade him to abdicate? How naive and childish! There is no need to discuss this matter any further. You are unwilling to serve in the court with him, and you want to inspire all the civil and military officials with your upright conduct. Look, you have submitted your resignation letter for so many days, and how many people are the same as you?" Xie Zhihuan sighed with a smile.

"Fortunately, Xie Tan still cares about the brotherhood we had in the past. He refuses to recognize us now. How do you know that it is not to preserve the good reputation of the Xie family?"

"A new emperor appoints new ministers. Where is your education? Do you understand it?"

Xie Yunji said: "It's not that I don't understand, but being an upright official in the court and not associating with the thieves who are plotting to usurp the throne is the right way. It's the awareness that the Xie family should have to rather die than yield!"

Xie Zhihuan was speechless for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Then do you know that a man who knows the current situation is a hero?"

"You still have no offspring. You could have gone to the Golden Palace to rebuke the emperor, or even hit the pillar and died on the spot. You would rather die than bend to set the emperor right!"

"But the Xie family will not be implicated because of you? The lineage of the Xie family will be extinct from this world, so how can we talk about the Xie family's integrity?"

The Xie family is neither a noble family nor a local tyrant, but a family of scholars that has survived several dynasties. They are truly a family of upright officials and the quintessence of the world's scholars.

The Xie family's character does not only exist in this dynasty.

That man is already the emperor, and seeing how much he has been cared for over the years, the Xie family will only prosper in the future.

How could it be ruined just because of his momentary impulse!

Xie Zhihuan looked at his son's face, which was the same as his own when he was young, and his heart softened.

He had never spoken so loudly to his son before. He sighed, suppressed his emotions, and said, "This involves the secrets of the royal family. I can't explain it to you clearly, but remember what I said, no matter who is the emperor, consider the Xie family before you act or speak."

"The cabinet has rejected your resignation. Don't be so willful. Do you really think I don't know what you have done to him over the years?"

"Zi Che, it's been so many years, let it go!"

three days ago.

"My Lord, that woman in the backyard..." The housekeeper of Jingyuan Marquis's mansion sighed, "The Sixth Prince has gone into seclusion. I guess we won't be able to meet him again in this lifetime. That woman is gentle and dignified. To me, she looks like a good girl. But she has lived in our mansion for half a year. My Lady is not very happy about it and wants to find a human trafficker to sell her off."

"Sell? Stupid woman, how dare she!" Jingyuan Hou was furious when he heard it, and slammed the table and said, "What did I tell her? Feed her with good food and drink, and who dares to touch her just try!"

The housekeeper was startled and quickly advised: "Lord, calm down. Madam is also worried about the impact on your reputation. After all, it is not good to spread the news that a woman of unknown origin lives in the mansion. And the Sixth Prince has already..."

By the time of his generation, the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion had already declined. It had no reputation and no achievements. It was just an empty shell. He finally established a relationship with the Sixth Prince, but he thought that he could change the dynasty!

Before the palace coup, Xiao Shen sent a beautiful woman over and asked him to help take care of her, saying that she would be of great use in the future.

When Marquis Jingyuan lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and took a look, even though he had seen many beauties before, he was still surprised by the beauty of this woman.

I saw that she had a slender and delicate figure, black hair, white skin, and was wearing a white dress. Her eyes looked coldly straight into people's hearts. They were cold and beautiful, top-notch!

It’s just like the saying goes, “If you want to be pretty, be filial!”

Judging from the appearance of this woman, her husband must have died, otherwise how could Xiao Shen succeed?

After Xiao Shen was captured for rebellion, the beautiful woman was left in the backyard of Marquis Jingyuan.

Although Jingyuan Hou likes women, he doesn't dare to touch her easily. After all, when Xiao Shen sent her here, he was very cautious. Who knows where this woman came from...

Until recently, the Xie Mansion in Wuyi Lane held a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and Marquis Jingyuan was invited to attend.

After three rounds of drinking, he got up to find the toilet, and in a daze he accidentally entered the yard of Mr. Xie Yunji.

When he first saw the portrait hanging in Lord Xie's room, he almost dropped his jaw in shock - the woman in the painting was 80% similar to the one in his backyard!

Now he was mostly sober.

Marquis Jingyuan stood on the hanging flower gate, looking at the woman sitting quietly in the yard from afar, secretly recalling her appearance in the portrait.

This woman is so similar to the person in the portrait, it's almost lifelike.

He couldn't help but sigh: "How can there be people in the world who are so similar?"

Suddenly I thought of the rumor that the new emperor had been trying to find out about Mr. Xie's late wife...

The housekeeper curiously looked into the yard at the woman, then turned to ask Marquis Jingyuan: "Master, how do you plan to deal with her?"

Marquis Jingyuan pondered for a moment, a sly smile appearing on his lips.

How could the new emperor be as pure and abstinent as a monk when he was young and full of vigor? He must have just not met someone who satisfied his heart.

Jingyuan Hou was secretly delighted, thinking that he had picked up a huge bargain. He couldn't help laughing out loud: "Haha, I actually got such a good opportunity!"

As night gradually fell and dusk gathered, a dark blue sedan was quietly carried out of the Jingyuan Marquis's mansion and slowly moved towards the direction of the imperial palace.
