He then bought a mine, got a great bargain, and even wanted to get rich.

Xie Rou went to ask Liu Zhichun, and when she came back and saw Tu Jiaojiao, her eyes lit up immediately and she asked curiously, "Mom, have those people been sent away?"

Tu Jiaojiao nodded, and couldn't help rolling her eyes when she thought of those people.

When Xie Xiu and Xie Yun broke off their relationship, his name was also crossed out from the Xie family tree.

Because this was considered a scandal for Xie Yun's family, none of the Xie clan's patriarchs or elders were present. Xie Yun took out the family tree and personally crossed out Xie Xiu's name, and the matter was over.

Anyway, her name and the children's names are not in the family tree yet, so there is no need to make any extra entries.

After this incident, no one from the Xie family came to look for Xie Xiu.

It was as if there was no such person as Xie Xiu in the Xie family.

Tu Jiaojiao was originally happy to be quiet and thought it was not bad.

Little did they know that just as Xie Xiu passed the imperial examination, members of the Xie clan came to him and insisted that it was Xie Yun alone who decided to expel Xie Xiu from the clan, and that the clan leader and elders did not agree.

It was Xie Yun who cheated the clan leader out of the family tree and secretly crossed out Xie Xiu's name.

No one would believe this, let alone Tu Jiaojiao and Xie Xiu.

What's even more disgusting is that those people wanted to put Xie Xiu back on the Xie family tree, and said that as long as Xie Xiu and Tu Jiaojiao agreed, they could put Xie Ying on the tree as well.

They said that there had never been a precedent of a girl being included in the Xie family tree, but they could make an exception for Xie Ying.

Tu Jiaojiao was so angry that she wanted to kick the person out.

Fortunately, someone from the Luo family also showed up. It was none other than Luo Hongwang, the patriarch of the Luo family who had beaten the drum to sue Xie Yun.

After taking back the Luo family's property, he returned home.

It was not until he heard that Xie Ying was named Princess of Fu'an County that he hurried to the capital.

When he arrived, Xie Xiu had just finished the provincial examination and the results were not out yet.

However, Luo Hongwang had the intention of recording Xie Xiu and Xie Ying in the Luo family genealogy at that time, and he specially brought the Luo family genealogy with him.

He was smarter than the patriarch of the Xie family. When he came, he had already recorded Xie Xiu's biological mother Luo Sheng in the family tree.

In this way, it is barely reasonable for Xie Xiu, as Luo Sheng's biological son, to be recorded in the Luo family genealogy.

Moreover, he not only said that he would record Xie Ying in the family tree, but also Xie Rou. He was much more sincere than the patriarch of the Xie family.

But Xie Xiu still didn't agree.

He actually didn't have much affection for the Luo clan, only slightly better than for the Xie clan.

When his maternal grandfather's family got into trouble, these members of the Luo family did not think about seeking justice for his grandfather, but only wanted to divide up his maternal grandfather's property.

However, as merchants, they were no match for Xie Yun, a Beijing official. With the Chen family's backing and a barrage of threats against the Luo clan, Xie Yun easily secured the lion's share, leaving the Luo clan with only the leftovers.

The reason why Luo Hongwang dared to stand up and sue Xie Yun was because Xie Xiu had something on him and he had no choice but to comply.

After taking back the Luo family's property, Xie Xiu also divided the benefits with him as agreed, so he didn't feel that he owed anything.

Now that the Luo family wants to record him in the family tree, how could Xie Xiu easily agree?

Tu Jiaojiao's face turned a little bad when she thought of the Xie and Luo clansmen who had been entangled with each other recently.

Previously, Luo Hongwang proposed to record Xie Xiu in the family tree, but Xie Xiu declined.

Because Luo Hongwang had helped a lot before, Xie Xiu treated him much better than the Xie family, but he still did not agree to Luo Hongwang's proposal.

Tu Jiaojiao thought at the time that Xie Xiu had already refused and this would never happen again.

However, just after Xie Xiu passed the imperial examination, people from the two clans came to them again, wanting to record Xie Xiu and Xie Ying in the family tree, and their attitude was obviously much more resolute than last time.

Although Xie Xiu still refused, Tu Jiaojiao had already realized that the Luo and Xie families would never give up easily.
