Xie Yun, as a son, was caught in the middle of a quarrel between his parents. He could only comfort his mother: "Don't be angry, mother."

Wang was filled with anger. When she heard her son's voice, she turned her head and looked at her sensible son. The haze in her heart dissipated a little, and she sighed, "My Anu is still the best."

Wang turned away, not even looking at Master Xie's expression, and said to her son, "Anu, if you meet a girl you like, you must treat her sincerely, and never learn from your father."

"I understand, kid." Xie Yun replied.

Wang continued, "That girl from Luo is quite nice. Mother likes her very much. You must treat her well."

"Of course." Xie Yun nodded in response.

Aqin is the woman he has admired for both of his lives. It is not easy for them to be together, so he will naturally cherish this opportunity.

Every time Wang taught her son a lesson, Master Xie's face turned even greener.

Wang was clearly slapping him in the face. Even after so many years, Wang still remembered what happened to Xie Cheng and his mother. Tutor Xie wanted to win back his wife's heart, but when Wang mocked him, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and remain silent.

Wang intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the silent middle-aged man beside her, and said to her son earnestly: "If you like someone, you should treat him/her well with all your heart. If you can't control yourself and want to take a concubine, then your wife will be very sad. Put yourself in her shoes, you don't want Ah Qin to look at other men, right?"

Hearing what his mother said, Xie Yun recalled the memories in his dream. In the dream, Aqin and the second prince were entangled, Aqin had a child with him, and was murdered in the end...

Suddenly, pain surged through his body like a tide, and Xie Yun felt cold all over in just a moment.

This time, Aqin can only be his!

"No, that girl's status is too low." Master Xie, who had been stroking the teacup silently, interrupted.

"you shut up!"

Wang suddenly turned around, her eyebrows raised, and sneered at the middle-aged man next to her, "No matter how humble she is, she is still a noble family, better than those commoners, right? And her talent, knowledge and etiquette are not necessarily worse than those noble ladies."

"...You are simply making far-fetched arguments!" Master Xie was furious.

"Okay, father and mother, stop arguing. I know what I am doing." Xie Yun sighed inwardly and tried to smooth things over.

"Proper manner?" Grand Tutor Xie immediately put on a cold expression, frowning, and said dissatisfiedly, "If you have proper manners, why would you listen to your mother? Can you consider the family? With her status, it would be a compliment for her to become a concubine in my Xie family."

"Xie Yu! What did you say?! You said my son doesn't consider the family?" Wang suddenly raised her voice.

The servants didn't dare to listen to their masters quarreling. They retreated to the corners, staring with bated breath, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Wang's beautiful eyes widened, her chest rising and falling, and she said angrily: "If Dalang didn't consider the family, why would he run around all these years? It's to expand Xie's industry!"

"Now, you deny his actions over the years with just one sentence. Are you still his father?"

A beauty is a beauty, even when she is angry she is still charming. Master Xie still has true feelings for her. Facing Wang's anger, Master Xie's momentum instantly weakened, and he hurriedly said: "My dear, it was just a slip of the tongue. I didn't mean that. Dalang has certainly done a lot for the family."

Wang slammed the table, causing the ceramic glazed tea set on the table to shake. "Shut up. If you don't like my son, go find a woman you like, find a child you like! Don't bother us mother and son!"

Wang pointed to the door and said, "Get out of here now!"

Master Xie coaxed his wife in a good-tempered voice, "My dear, please stop making a fuss. Your husband said something wrong at the moment. Dalang is my most precious child. That is why I, as a father, hope that he can marry a girl of equal status..."

"Don't come on, Dalang has done enough for Xie. He finally has a girl he likes, but you still want to break up the couple. Have you heard of the saying 'It is better to tear down ten temples than to destroy a marriage'?" Wang's mouth seemed to be non-stop, and she kept complaining. At the end, her eyes were slightly sore, "Let alone, Dalang is still your son!"

Wang and Master Xie were once again caught up in an endless quarrel. Xie Yun felt a splitting headache. He raised his hand and wanted to pick up the teacup to take a sip of tea to relieve his inner irritability. However, he finally put the cup down in annoyance.

It seemed that his parents had been getting along like this since he was a child, and he was tired of listening to it, but these two people never seemed to get tired of arguing.

Fortunately, when he was in his teens and began to take over the family affairs, his mother became much calmer and seemed to have let it go. She no longer fought with his father, but just ignored him. Why did it start again today?

In fact, when Aye and Amu were separated, they were both gentle and polite people, the mother was graceful and elegant, and the father was noble and generous.

However, once the two get together, they will completely forget the etiquette they have learned over the years and quarrel like ordinary people.

In most cases, it was Wang who kept blaming others, while Tutor Xie, feeling guilty, could only beg for mercy in a humble manner.

Those who don't know the inside story might think that Wang was really a shrew and that Master Xie had suffered a great injustice.

But they were his biological parents after all, and as a son, Xie Yun was bound by filial piety and could only try his best to reconcile the situation.

This had been going on for so long when he was young that he had almost become numb. He finally stopped for a few years, but now he was going to start again?

From now on, he must never become like this with Aqin. No matter what happens, he must put Aqin first.

Fortunately, Aqin had gone to the side room to rest despite her parents' behavior, and the servants in the house did not dare to tell anyone else. Otherwise, if the news got out, many people in Jiankang would be shocked.

In today's world, reputation is extremely important. If Mr. and Mrs. Xie lose their temper and quarrel like this, it will not be good for the reputation of the Xie family.

In fact, my mother hadn't argued with my father like this for a long time. Why did she suddenly...

Xie Yun frowned. At this time, Wang and Master Xie finally finished their quarrel. Xie Yun hurriedly served them tea to moisten their throats.

The couple drank the tea their son offered them. Wang put the cup down heavily and turned away coldly, never looking at Master Xie again. Master Xie was still chasing after them, saying, "My dear, I was wrong. I will listen to you, as long as you are willing to forgive me."

Xie Yun: "..."

He has been hearing this for more than twenty years.

It is said that it is difficult for sons to empathize with their mothers, but Xie Yun is different. He was carefully brought up by his mother since he was young and knew the knot his mother had with his father.

It was my father who broke his oath first. My mother loved my father so much, so she must be sad to know that her husband had betrayed her.

Especially now that Xie Yun has Aqin, he understands that there is no room for betrayal between lovers.

Seeing that his parents' anger had subsided and that Master Xie had a vague intention of compromise, Xie Yun felt better. He took a sip of tea and said, "Father, the situation in the court is unstable now. Our Wang and Xie clans need to avoid the limelight for a while. You and mother are already married to each other, and if we marry into another great clan, won't this arouse suspicion from the government?"

He put down the teacup and looked at Master Xie, "Besides, you said it yourself."

Taifu Xie had previously noticed that the emperor wanted to deal with the aristocratic families, so he discussed with Wang and decided not to let the new generation of children enter the officialdom for the time being, as a way to secretly express his position to the emperor. It would not be too late to allow them to enter the officialdom after the emperor had eliminated the Yu family who monopolized power and the situation had stabilized. Anyway, Xie Yun and Wang Xu's status was there, so there was no need to worry about not being reused.
