Perhaps knowing that this would not satisfy Xie Xiu, he continued, "If you are angry with the gatekeeper, just go back and punish him. Why make a scene outside the palace?
If this gets out, how will others view you? Do you want the entire Xie Mansion to become the laughing stock of the capital? Don't forget, you are also a member of the Xie Mansion! If the Xie Mansion is ridiculed, what good will it do you?
Do you think others will say anything good about you? They will only say that you are extremely stupid, that you are spreading your family's dirty laundry in public, and that you are unbearable to be around!
Xie Xiu lowered his head and said, "Master Xie, you misunderstood. I just thought that your eldest son was with someone else, so I wanted to wait for you to resign and return the 1,000 taels of silver to you. I didn't mean to expose our family's dirty laundry."
"You ran to the palace gate and informed the Black Kirin Guards of this matter, and you still dare to say that you didn't deliberately want to expose your family's dirty laundry?"
Xie Yun was so angry that he scolded him fiercely, and finally said, "Also, don't you even want to call me father? Just because the doorman said a few nonsense words, you feel resentful and even refuse to acknowledge me as your father?"
Xie Xiu smiled bitterly: "Father, why would you think so? You are a distinguished Hanlin scholar, but I am just a commoner.
Being your eldest son is my blessing, so how could I not acknowledge you? I am just worried that my father will think I am useless and won’t acknowledge me.”
After saying this, he lowered his head even lower, looking extremely depressed.
Xie Yun: “…”
He was originally full of anger, but looking at the dejected Xie Xiu, he suddenly felt a little bit reluctant.
Xie Xiu was his eldest son, handsome and talented. He passed the imperial examination at a young age, which gave him high hopes.
He had hoped that Xie Xiu would be able to pass the imperial examination and win the top prize, but Xie Xiu suddenly disappeared while traveling to study, and no one found him, neither his body nor his body.
Although the person has been found now, too many years have been wasted.
Xie Yun's face darkened.
He had already inquired about it. Xie Xiu had been living in Tujiazhuang all these years. Although he had some talent and fame, his fame was limited to the territory of Biyang County.
Moreover, he had spent all these years studying in seclusion in the countryside, without ever learning from a famous teacher. After wasting so many years, it would be difficult for him to pass the imperial examinations, and even passing the imperial examinations was already a rare achievement.
Thinking of this, Xie Yun immediately stopped being angry and asked, "Are you confident that you will pass the provincial examination this year?"
Xie Xiu lowered his head, as if ashamed to see people: "If my father wants me to participate in this provincial examination, I will definitely do my best."
Xie Yun frowned. Xie Xiu's words sounded so unconvincing. How could he believe it?
He sighed in disappointment: "Forget it, if you are not sure, don't force yourself, try again next time."
Xie Xiu lowered his head and said nothing, only curling his lips in sarcasm.
He would definitely take part in this provincial examination, but there was no need to tell Xie Yun about this matter.
Yingying "predicted" that after Jiaojiao's tragic death, he would be falsely accused of cheating in the imperial examination, and thus lose his fame and would never be able to take the imperial examination again.
If Xie Yun was willing to help him, how could Chen Fang and Xie Jia easily frame him?
His biological father eventually abandoned him.
Just like he had ruthlessly abandoned his mother back then.
Unfortunately, he is no longer the helpless child he used to be, and can only watch his biological mother being murdered.
This time he came back to the capital not only for the imperial examination, but also to collect debts!
He will settle all the debts owed to him.
The embarrassment he brought to Xie Yun and the Xie family today was just a small amount of interest he collected.
As the carriage continued to head towards the Xie Mansion, Xie Xiu suddenly said, "Father, my wife and Tang'er are still in the inn."
Xie Yun frowned, his face full of displeasure: "After you go back, you can pick them up and take them back to the mansion!"
Xie Xiu said, "Then let's do as father wishes. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are here at the inn anyway, so it won't be a big deal if my wife and Tang'er stay a little longer."
