After Han Chen revealed Xie Xiu's identity, he did not deliberately stay to make friends with him. He just gave Xie Xiu a few instructions and then turned and left.

After all, he was of a different status, and deliberately making friends with him would only put him at a disadvantage.

He had just offered to help deliver the letter, which was a favor to Xie Xiu. He thought that if Xie Xiu wasn't stupid, he would accept his favor.

And helping Xie Xiu regain his identity was a great favor to Xie Xiu. As long as he returned to the capital, he would have the opportunity to repay his kindness in the future.

Han Chen thought so in his heart, but he did not send anyone to deliver the letter to the capital directly. He planned to wait for the person sent to investigate Xie Xiu's news to come back first.

He has always been cautious in doing things. This matter needs to be reported to the emperor and Concubine Jiang, so there can't be any mistakes.

So it’s better to wait a little longer to make sure everything is safe.

Otherwise, if something went wrong, his hasty report to the capital would not only be in vain, but he would be guilty.

On the other hand, County Magistrate Wang appeased Xie Xiu, secretly found an excuse to go out, and hurriedly sent people to investigate Xie Xiu.

After the two of them investigated, they naturally became more certain of Xie Xiu's identity.

So Han Chen sent someone directly to the capital to deliver a letter, saying that the victim of Xu's poisoning and substitution incident was named Xie Xiu, who was suspected to be Xie Yun's eldest son who had been missing for many years.

County Magistrate Wang also secretly sent people to the capital to inquire about the situation of Xie Yun's eldest son Xie Xiu.

Although he wanted to befriend Xie Xiu, he also didn't want to offend someone he shouldn't have offended. So he didn't rush to make friends, but instead cautiously sent people to the capital to gather information.

As soon as Xie Xiu returned to Tujiazhuang, someone told him that someone had come to inquire about him not long ago.

He was not surprised at all, so he thanked her and went home.

At home, Tu Jiaojiao was waiting, and Xie Ying was also awake.

Even Xie Rou and Xie Tang stayed with Tu Jiaojiao.

Originally, Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao had not had time to tell the two children about Xie Xiu's true identity, but someone came to Tujia Village to inquire about Xie Xiu. The children in the village saw it and secretly told Xie Tang and Xie Rou about it.

Although the two children were not very old, they were both smart. When they heard that someone was trying to find out about Xie Xiu's visit to Tujiazhuang, they ran to Tu Jiaojiao worriedly, fearing that some bad people would do something bad to Xie Xiu.

Tu Jiaojiao kept them in the house, planning to wait for Xie Xiu to come back and have him tell the two children personally about the Xie family in the capital.

Since they are going to the capital to recognize their relatives, they can no longer hide it from the child.

We must let them know how cruel and treacherous the Xie family in the capital are, so that they won’t fall into that family’s schemes when they arrive in the capital!

So when Xie Xiu entered the room, he saw four eyes looking at him.

He was stunned at first, then noticed the eager looks of several people, and couldn't help laughing, and strode over.

"Why are you all here?"

Tu Jiaojiao then told Xie Xiu about someone who had come to Tujiazhuang to inquire about her affairs. Finally, she asked Xie Xiu, "How's it going? Is it going smoothly?"

Xie Xiu touched Xie Rou and Xie Tang's heads, and seeing that they both looked surprised, he briefly explained the matter.

“Today I went to thank Magistrate Wang, but unexpectedly I met a man from the Black Kirin Guards.

He said I had the same name as the eldest son of Mr. Xie, a Hanlin scholar, and that Mr. Xie had been missing for many years, and he suspected that I was the missing Mr. Xie.

Tu Jiaojiao knew that he had revealed his identity on purpose, but when she heard the name of Black Kirin Guard, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

It was rumored that the Black Kylin Guards had spies all over the world, able to penetrate any hole and find out anything. She was afraid that Xie Xiu's feigned amnesia would be discovered by the Black Kylin Guards.

She asked anxiously, "Can that gentleman be trusted? Will he doubt you?"

Xie Xiu wasn't worried. He chuckled, "Anyway, I've told the public that I've lost my memory. Whether Han Chen and County Magistrate Wang believe it or not, they'll just assume I've been losing my memory all these years.

They said I was lying, that I hadn't lost my memory all these years and just refused to go back? They had no evidence.

Besides, what good will it do them?

If I became an unfilial son, Xu's case would not be a good one.

I also have to expose the discord between Xie Yun and my father and I, which will offend even more people.

Those two are smart and they definitely won't make that choice.

So even if they had suspicions, they couldn’t expose me and would help me cover up the lie.”

This topic was a bit too profound for Xie Rou and Xie Tang, so they both seemed to understand it vaguely and didn't quite understand it.

Xie Xiu saw it all, but didn't explain. He just said slowly, "Rou'er, Atang, you must remember that when interests align, even strangers can become friends.

But if interests conflict, even the best of friends and brothers can become enemies."

Just like him and his younger brother, they are obviously brothers from the same mother, but because his younger brother was raised by his stepmother, he only sides with his stepmother and is at odds with his biological brother, and is even willing to become the knife that his stepmother stabs him!

That idiot!

I'm afraid that all these years I've been used as a gun by that woman and have been acting as a puppet in her hands.

Xie Xiu's eyes turned cold, but he quickly covered it up and continued to warn the two children: "When you interact with others, you must be careful and keep your eyes open. Don't be foolish and tell everything about family matters to others. Do you understand?"

Just as Xie Rou was about to nod, Xie Tang excitedly replied, "I know! I haven't told anyone about Daddy making money by writing storybooks and copying Buddhist scriptures!"

Xie Ying, who was lying in Tu Jiaojiao's arms and eavesdropping openly, said: "???"

What did she just hear?

Xie Xiu makes money by writing storybooks and copying Buddhist scriptures?

Does he still have this ability?

My dad is so awesome!

Xie Xiu glared at Xie Tang unhappily before continuing, "Someone will probably be watching us soon, so you guys should watch your mouths when you're out there. Okay, go back and practice your calligraphy now, and I'll check on you later."

He gave a few brief instructions and sent Xie Rou and Xie Tang away.

Seeing the child leave, Tu Jiaojiao couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to tell them about what's going on at home?"

Xie Xiu explained to her, "Of course I will tell them, but now is not the time. Han Chen has confirmed my identity and will definitely send someone to the capital to deliver the letter.

Once the Xie family in the capital gets the news, they will definitely send someone to confirm it and pick us up.

Tell the children about it now. When people are sent over from the capital, if the two children reveal any clues, it will be easy for people to find out.

It would be better to wait until someone arrives and then ask about the situation of the Xie family in the capital openly and let both children hear it.

Anyway, I have lost my memory now and can't remember anything, so of course I have to ask them."

Tu Jiaojiao thought it made sense and did not object.

Although she believed in her child, when she thought about it carefully, she felt that the person sent by the Xie family in the capital must be a cunning person, and might even have bad intentions.

Even if there was nothing, the other party would exaggerate it. If the two children accidentally revealed any trace, the other party would definitely make up stories and throw dirty water on Xie Xiu.

It would be better to follow Xie Xiu's suggestion and not let the children know about the situation of the Xie family in the capital for the time being, and then explain it to them clearly when the time is right.

Listening to the two people's discussion, Xie Ying was completely stunned!

Xie Xiu’s identity was discovered by the Black Kirin Guards?

Will the Xie family in Beijing send someone to pick them up?

She just took a nap, how did the plot turn out like this?
