Xie Xiu said calmly, "Father, don't worry. I'm not asking you to make an exception for me and force me into the Imperial College. It's just that the Imperial Concubine took pity on my misfortune and granted me a special favor, allowing me to study at the Imperial College."
When Xie Yun heard the word "Imperial Concubine", his expression turned extremely ugly. He angrily scolded: "How can you accept the grace she offers? Do you know what her reputation is now? You are digging your own grave!"
"She's the Imperial Concubine, and she's specifically offering me grace. How could I possibly refuse? Since my father knows her methods, he should know that if she's going to offer me grace, I have absolutely no way out!
If I refuse, I will be slapping the Imperial Concubine in the face. How can she be merciful and let me go then? Although I didn't witness Mei Qingchuan's end with my own eyes, I heard it clearly!
What's more, Mei Qingchuan's mistress escaped to Biyang County and even sneaked into Tujiazhuang. She deliberately poisoned my mother-in-law and my wife, and wanted to replace my newborn daughter with her own!
Does father want me to become the second Mei Qingchuan?"
These sharp words instantly left Xie Yun speechless.
Thinking of Concubine Jiang's methods, he could only sigh helplessly: "Get up."
Since Concubine Jiang had shown mercy to Xie Xiu, if he punished Xie Xiu at this time, it would only cause people to think too much if the news got out.
Concubine Jiang was a seductive and narrow-minded woman. She had been targeting Mei Qingchuan because he was her student.
Now if she knew that he had punished Xie Xiu, that vicious woman would definitely think that he was dissatisfied with Xie Xiu for receiving her kindness, and was deliberately looking for an excuse to attack Xie Xiu, and then take action against him.
Prime Minister Wang is already old and will surely retire soon. At that time, with his qualifications and reputation, he will most likely be promoted.
If we offend Concubine Jiang now, she will interfere and things will be troublesome!
Xie Yun looked at Xie Xiu with complicated eyes, and even helped him up from the ground with his own hands, and patted the invisible dust off his body.
Then he sighed lovingly and said, "It's a good thing that you can enter the Imperial College, but Concubine Jiang's reputation in the court is not very good. You'd better be careful and don't get too close to her. Otherwise, if the news gets out, it will be detrimental to your future career."
Xie Xiu looked at Xie Yun with admiration and responded respectfully, "My son will follow my father's instructions."
Xie Yun added, "Your wife should learn how to manage things. Let me talk to your mother about picking out a shop for her to practice on."
Xie Xiu agreed again obediently, still looking respectful and honest.
Xie Yun forced a smile, gave him a few more instructions, and then left in a hurry.
But as soon as he left, Xie Yi and Xie Xin came to Baojieyuan together.
Xie Xin looked Xie Xiu up and down, his tone unable to conceal the gloating: "Brother, I heard that my father punished you with family discipline. Are you okay?"
As Xie Xin spoke, he looked at Xie Xiu. Seeing that there was no trace of torture on his face, he couldn't help but feel disappointed: "Brother, you don't look seriously injured. It seems that I was worrying too much. Father didn't hit you hard.
But it's also true. I heard that my eldest brother has been suffering in the countryside all these years since he disappeared. Now that he has finally returned, even if he made a mistake, I don't think my father would have the heart to punish him harshly. I am the younger brother who is worrying too much."
At this point, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "I wonder what plans big brother has next?
You are almost thirty years old, but you only have the title of scholar, which is too low. If you can only rely on your father's protection to get a small official position in the future, you will inevitably be ridiculed.
Moreover, my father has always been upright and honest. Even if it is his son, he has to pass the exam to enter the Imperial College based on his ability. My second brother wanted to enter the Imperial College at the beginning, but unfortunately he was unlucky and failed to get in.
Father hadn't favored the second brother back then, so it was natural that he wouldn't favor the eldest brother now. He figured the eldest brother had always been filial and wouldn't embarrass Father.
