"What do you want me to persuade you about?" Xie Xiu looked at him coldly, "Didn't you just say that I'm cold-blooded and heartless, that I could even abandon my biological father?

Since I can abandon even my biological father, what about you, my brother who was raised by our enemies?

If you want to stay in the Xie family, I will pretend that my brother has already died in that bloody delivery room, and you are just a wandering ghost who has taken over his body and resurrected."

"You--" Xie You's eyes widened instantly. He didn't expect that Xie Xiu would be so cold-blooded and heartless that he would not even recognize him as his own brother!

"I let you choose. What do you want your elder brother to say? Do you want your elder brother to plead for you?"

Luo Hongwang shouted in displeasure, "Have you made your choice yet? If you don't know how to choose, I can find someone to help you and let the people of the capital choose for you."

"No need!" Xie You flatly refused. He couldn't afford to lose face like that. "I will never abandon my father!"

"Good! Very good!" Luo Hongwang laughed in anger and suddenly said to Xie Yun, "Xie Yun, did you see that? You really gave birth to a good son!"

After saying that, he closed the box with a snap.

Then he said, “Since you chose Xie Yun, I can no longer give you these things from the Luo family.

But you don't have to feel that it's unfair. Xie Yun has been an official for so many years, he must have made a lot of money and accumulated many connections.

From now on, all of this is yours and has nothing to do with your brother. This seems fair.

But since you have chosen Xie Yun, from now on, you will have nothing to do with my Luo family and your eldest brother!"

After saying that, he took out an envelope and threw it directly to Xie You.

Xie You opened it and was immediately furious: "You...you guys actually prepared the letter of severance a long time ago!"

"Oh, do you think we are all blind and stupid and can't see what you are thinking?"

Luo Hongwang glanced at Xie You with disdain, and then said to Xie Yun, "From now on, Xie You belongs to you. Take out the family tree and cross out Xie Xiu's name."

Xie Yun said nothing, took out the prepared family tree and crossed out Xie Xiu's name.

Since the names of Tu Jiaojiao and others had not been written down in time, a lot of trouble was saved at this time.

The pitch-black ink was like a ruthless blade, slashing across Xie Xiu's name, leaving behind a mark of ink that penetrated the back of the paper.

Then, Xie Yun looked at Xie Xiu with a complicated expression and sighed, "Although you blame me for harming your mother and your maternal grandfather's family and are unwilling to acknowledge me as your father, I still hope that you can pass the imperial examinations and become a Jinshi, and rise to prominence from now on."

Xie Xiu smiled and bowed, "Thank you for your kind words, Excellency. I also hope that you will live a long life and have many children and grandchildren."

After some hypocritical courtesy, Luo Hongwang asked Xie You to sign his name on the letter of severance and put his fingerprint on it.

Afterwards, Xie Xiu and the other two said goodbye and left, leaving Xie You standing stiffly in the same place.

He stared at the direction where the three people left, looking at Xie Xiu's tall and graceful back, and felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart, as if he had missed something very precious.

Xie You frowned, feeling more and more uncomfortable.

Xie Yun patted his shoulder and said lovingly, "No need to watch. Since he has chosen this path, he should experience the taste of it himself in the future."

Xie You quickly supported him and asked with concern, "Father, are you okay?"

"I can still hold on." Xie Xiu looked at him with satisfaction. "You are very smart and have not let your father down. From now on, you can live at home peacefully and let your father guide you in writing. Next spring, you will definitely pass the imperial examination!"

Xie You was overjoyed and quickly thanked him: "I will do my best! I will not let you down!"

Xie Yun personally helped him up and continued, "You don't have to care about the things of the Luo family. As the saying goes, books contain golden houses and beautiful women.

As long as you can pass the imperial examination, you will be able to marry a beautiful woman and you will never lack money in the future."
