Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

Xie Lin, "I have already said that if you do anything to let Yue Ning down, you are no longer a descendant of my Xie family."

"My grandson doesn't dare."

"This matter ends here, Xie Fang. I don't want any rumors to spread." Xie Lin's sharp old eyes shot towards Xie An.

Xie An was startled and lowered his head quickly, "Yes, Master."

"Go."

After Xie Fang left, Xie Lin looked at Xie Shi and asked, "Why didn't Sister Ning come with us?"

Xie Shi, "She feels a little weak, grandson asked her to sleep a little longer."

The vague words made the other two people at a loss as to how to respond, but they had all been through this time and could not be blamed.

Xie Lin coughed lightly, "Young people should be more restrained and focus on important matters."

Seeing that they misunderstood, Xie Shi did not explain, but just said: "Grandpa is right."

Xie Lin shook his head and looked at Yu Cheng who was pretending to be deaf and dumb. "Is this feasible?"

Xie Lin was asking about the anonymous report. In the past, Xie Lin would always give it to Xie Fang, but this time, he gave it to Yu Cheng for the first time.

Yu Cheng nodded. "As Mr. San said, we found a deserted courtyard in the west, cleared the surrounding area, and built a temporary house in the middle. The three people who collected the information can stay inside. People inside and outside cannot see each other, so it is very hidden."

Xie Shi nodded. Yu Cheng was very efficient and knew how to adapt.

Xie Lin looked at Xie Shi, "Do you have anything to add?"

Xie Shi thought for a moment, "Add a time limit. From now on, the period is 10 days. If the rumor is verified to be true, the whistleblower will be rewarded based on the severity of the matter. If the rumor is confirmed, he will be sent to the authorities for investigation and all the servants will be sold."

"Is the punishment so severe?" Yu Cheng asked.

Xie Shi nodded, "It is necessary. Otherwise, some daring people would fabricate facts in order to get the reward money, which would be bad."

Xie Ling hummed, "That makes sense, let's do as he says."

Yu Cheng, "Yes."

"Uncle Yu, I have someone prepare a batch of grain, which will be stored in the warehouse in two days. You and Uncle Liu will keep an eye on it. Grandpa will tell you what it is used for." Xie Shi told Yu Cheng, and then looked at Xie Lin, "Grandpa, I have arranged everything you asked me to do. If there are any changes, I will send someone to send a letter back."

Yu Cheng watched the grandfather and grandson playing charades without interrupting them. He had a vague idea that there would be big moves in the mansion recently, so he dared not slack off.

Xie Lin looked at the boy's conversation, he arranged everything in an orderly manner, and his attitude was humble and submissive. If such a person grows up, the Xie family will not be able to keep him. "Okay, but you have to remember that no matter when and where, you are still a descendant of the Xie family. Don't bring shame to the Xie family's reputation."

Xie Ling never relaxed his reminders and warnings.

Xie Shi crossed his hands, "Grandson will remember this."

He sneered in his heart, thinking that the old fox must be worried about him.

Xie Shi's attitude made Xie Lin unable to find any fault. He waved his hand regretfully and said, "Go ahead."

Xie Shi bowed and retreated.

Yu Cheng sincerely praised: "Sanlangjun is measured and thoughtful. Master, you have a successor."

Xie Lin smiled: "You're still like a child who hasn't grown up yet. You have a lot to learn." There was a hint of doting in his tone that he himself didn't even notice.

Yu Cheng also laughed and said that in time the Third Young Master would be able to support the Xie family, and it would not only be the scholarly First Young Master who could do that.

In the study, the two old partners began to talk about another matter.

When Xie Shi returned to the courtyard, Li Yuening had already stood up and Xiao Sui'er was tying her hair. Xie Shi stood behind her with his arms folded, watching.

Li Yuening looked at his serious expression in the mirror and jokingly asked, "Why? Do you want to learn everything now? Do you want to take over everything from me?"

Xie Shi's eyes met with Li Yuening's in the mirror, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "If Madam wants to draw her eyebrows and hold the case, it's fine."

Xiaosui felt itchy all over for some reason, even though she had just taken a shower last night.

Li Yuening glared at him and said, "You should do something serious."

"Painting the lady's eyebrows and dressing her up is also a serious matter, don't you think, Xiaosui'er?"

Xiao Sui'er cried out, "My dear, what did you say?"

Xie Shi was disappointed and Li Yuening laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

Xiaosui'er, "Oh, my lady, your hair is crooked."

After combing her hair and sending Xiaosui'er to have breakfast, the two of them entered the space.

Xie Shi took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and looked at them one by one. "I'll go see if I can find some blood-skinned Guanyin vegetables and make some meat porridge for you."

"We're not eating pig blood and pig liver today?" Li Yuening breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Shi, "We still need pork liver. I've already asked. Pork liver is better than pig blood in replenishing blood and tastes better. You should eat more later." After saying that, without even looking at Li Yuening's face which was wrinkled like a bitter melon, he used his Qinggong to run away.

At this time, the two people in the space had no idea that something big had happened in the Xie Mansion again.

Early in the morning, Xie Zhan, who was supposed to be at Gusu Academy, was carried back. Feng ran over with huge swollen eyes and saw her son lying unconscious. She almost fainted.

He threw away the person who was supporting him and rushed over, screaming his heart out.

Xie Zhan woke up from the pain and saw Feng, with the man's words echoing in his ears: "Your mother looked down on the Shen family's daughter, so there was no need to treat Cong Yin like this, and spread such rumors, which made our Shen family lose face.

You should know that the daughter of my Shen family does not necessarily have to be you, Xie Zhan. If my Shen family were to choose a son-in-law, she could choose any man from Jinling to Yecheng. It was lucky that you, Xie Zhan, caught her eye first. Otherwise, someone like you, Xie Zhan, would not even be worthy of carrying shoes for my Shen family, the mansion of a fourth-rank assistant minister.

Why do you catch her eye?

Ok?

Is it the title of a student from Gusu Academy?

Then I will have the academy expel your name.

It is an insult to my Shen family for people like you to come near Yecheng.

Xie Zhan, your present situation is all arranged by your good mother.

I, Shen Congwen, thank you for not marrying me, but your debt to Yin Yin cannot be repaid so easily.

I will make sure you never pass the imperial examination in your life. Believe me, I have the ability to do so.

Come, cripple his right hand."

Tears welled up in Xie Zhan's eyes and flowed down his temples.

Feng was so distressed that she hurriedly wiped him with a handkerchief, but he turned his head away. She only heard Xie Zhan say hoarsely: "You don't like Cong Yin?"

Feng was angry. She was still thinking about the vixen at this time. She said with all her might, "Mother is not unhappy."

"Then did you deliver the letter I asked you to deliver?" Xie Zhan stared at her without blinking, not missing any expression.

Feng's eyes flickered and she was about to speak.

Xie Zhan interrupted her, "You... no, you also spread rumors that she was shameless and was lying to me, saying that she would never marry anyone else in her life except me, and that even if you rewarded her with a concubine, it would be a compliment to her, right...?"

Xie Zhan raised his upper body and asked Feng word by word, ignoring the pain in his wrist.

Feng, "I...I...I didn't..." Feng wanted to say that she didn't, but Xie Zhan smiled sadly.

"It doesn't matter whether she exists or not. She doesn't want me anymore, and I don't have a chance." After saying that, Xie Zhan spat out a mouthful of blood and closed his eyes.

Feng was startled and quickly reached out to check under his nose. He was still breathing...
