Over the years, the Xie family has relied on Xie Yun's power to lend money to others at high interest rates. Once the other party is unable to repay the debt, they will confiscate their land, houses, shops and ancestral property.
Relying on various means, the Xie family grew stronger and stronger and acquired large tracts of land and property.
When Xie Yun fell from power, the head of the Xie family had been worried that these things would be exposed and they would all suffer.
After waiting anxiously for so many days, nothing happened.
They were relieved then and set their sights on Xie Xiu.
Who knew... Xie Xiu not only had someone steal the Xie family's genealogy, but he also knew what they had done!
The Xie clan leader felt cold all over and stared at Xie Xiu in horror: "What on earth do you want to do?"
"It's not what I want to do, it's what Xie wants to do?"
Xie Xiu smiled and corrected the Xie clan leader, "I returned to the capital only to seek justice for my mother's tragic death. I never intended to do anything to the Xie clan. It's you who are too greedy, insisting on coveting things that don't belong to you."
I just hope that Chief Xie will remember to take good care of your people and not provoke me again. As long as you abide by your duties, I can pretend that I don't know about these things. Otherwise..."
Just as he said this, he saw the Xie clan leader suddenly crumpled the paper into a ball, stuffed it into his mouth, and tried hard to chew it and swallow it.
Xie Xiu looked at his twisted and painful expression, and his eyes gradually became mocking.
After the Xie clan leader completely swallowed the paper and couldn't help but look relieved, he asked with a strange expression, "What's this special hobby of yours, clan leader Xie? Aren't you afraid that I'll smear poison on the paper?"
When the Xie clan leader heard this, his face turned pale with fear and he quickly reached for his throat.
Xie Xiu didn't want him to vomit here, so he quickly said, "It was just a joke. Why is Patriarch Xie so nervous?"
The Xie clan leader, who had just scratched his throat with his hands and was retching with nausea, said: "..."
He dry-retched for a long time, but nothing came out. Not wanting to embarrass himself in front of Xie Xiu, he stopped scratching his throat and instead asked with a dark face, "What do you want?"
Xie Xiu sneered, "I told you, as long as you don't provoke me again, I can pretend I know nothing! Patriarch Xie, don't you understand?"
The Xie clan leader looked at Xie Xiu with suspicion, somewhat unconvinced that Xie Xiu would stop and show mercy after knowing the Xie clan's crimes.
Xie Xiu saw that he didn't believe it, so he continued, "Patriarch Xie, what do you think I can gain by getting rid of you?"
The Xie clan leader thought about it carefully and suddenly realized: Yes, Xie Xiu has already severed his relationship with Xie Yun. If he were to kill his relative for the sake of justice and report the Xie clan, people would only think that he is too mean and lonely. Who would dare to make friends with him?
So he quickly relaxed: "I will control my people and never let them mess with you again!"
After saying that, he quickly turned to the page that recorded Xie Xiu, and saw that the page had indeed been torn away, leaving only uneven and hideous tear marks. His heart tightened, and he looked at Xie Xiu with more fear.
He sighed and looked at Xie Xiu with complicated eyes: "From now on, your name will no longer appear in the Xie family tree."
After a pause, he couldn't help but say, "But you are so determined to do things that you even abandon your own people. Aren't you afraid that one day the eldest princess and the second young master of the Jiang family will also abandon you?"
Xie Xiu smiled faintly, as perfect as if he were wearing a mask. "Don't worry about that, Patriarch Xie. You've never worried about me before, and you won't need to worry about me in the future. Let's just keep to ourselves and pretend we don't exist."
The Xie clan leader looked at the smile on his face and felt inexplicably creepy.
He knew this was Xie Xiu's warning.
Thinking of Xie Yun's fate, the Xie clan leader swallowed his saliva fearfully and said quickly, "Okay, I promise you, from now on, we will keep our distance from each other! I will control my clansmen and never let them do anything reckless. I hope you can keep your word!"
