The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Chapter 397 What Can I Do to Fight Him?

Xie Zhiyan looked at his father's nervous and worried expression, frowned, and said calmly: "Yes."

"What did you say?!" Xie Chong's pupils dilated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he staggered back several steps.

But Xie Zhiyan's cold eyes were always calm and serious, without a trace of falsehood.

"You...you!" Xie Chong pointed his finger at him with a trembling voice, and said with difficulty accepting it for a moment: "Are you serious?"

Xie Zhiyan's expression remained unchanged, and his calm tone was more resolute: "Yes."

"You know, I never joke."

Facing his son who was surprisingly calm at the moment, Xie Chong was furious and angry: "Xie Zhiyan! I think you are really crazy. They are two people living a good life, why do you have to interfere and try to steal their things?"

"The position of Queen is something that countless women in the world would beg for, but they can't get it. Aren't you afraid that the girl will hate you?"

Xie Zhiyan chuckled nonchalantly, "She is different from ordinary women."

"If it's really as my father said, I will keep this thought to myself."

Xie Chong was extremely angry, his face was ashen, and his tone was filled with a bit of majestic anger: "Even if she is different from other women, do you know what she wants?"

Almost without thinking, Xie Zhiyan spoke directly: "She wants to leave, she wants freedom."

Xie Chong looked grim, and was choked so much that he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

He took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

Afterwards, he looked at Xie Zhiyan with a serious expression and said in a deep voice, "You should know that competing with the emperor for a woman is equivalent to treason."

"As the prince of Yong'an Marquisate, are you going to sacrifice our entire mansion for a woman?"

"You are so stubborn and reckless. Have you ever thought about the situation of our Marquis Mansion?"

"Ayan, you have always been the calmest and most rational person. You should know better than anyone what to do and what not to do."

Just as Lord Xie was about to continue his earnest persuasion, Xie Zhiyan spoke calmly, his tone as cold as ever: "This is also what I want to say to my father today."

He raised his eyes, looking at Xie Chong calmly, and said word by word: "Before returning home, my son has already written to the clan, requesting to withdraw from the Xie clan."

"What did you just say..." Xie Chong was stunned, thinking he was hallucinating.

Zhang Long on the side was even more shocked and dumbfounded: "Master, you..."

"Father, I know full well what I am about to do. It is a heinous act, and I do not wish to bring trouble to the entire Marquisate and the Xie clan for my own selfish reasons."

"So..." At this point, Xie Zhiyan lifted his robe and knelt before the ancestors in Xie Chonghe's ancestral hall. His face was stern, and a hint of determination and resoluteness flashed across his calm eyes: "I, Xie Zhiyan, an unfilial descendant, voluntarily withdraw from the Xie clan today!"

"From now on, I will be solely responsible for everything I do. I will no longer have anything to do with the Marquis' Mansion or the Xie family."

After he finished speaking, Xie Zhiyan kowtowed three times on the ground, with blood oozing from his forehead.

His voice was not loud, but every word he spoke was powerful and echoed clearly in the silent ancestral hall.

Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the heart of Yong'an Hou Xie Chong.

His tall and majestic figure was shaken by the blow, and he almost fell down while holding on to the table beside him.

Xie Chong stared at Xie Zhiyan who was kneeling on the ground with his pair of dark and sharp eyes. His eyes turned red and he was breathing heavily.

Zhang Long saw this and hurried over to support him, trying to calm him down: "Lord, please calm down first..."

"Xie Zhiyan, are you crazy?!" Xie Chong's eyes widened as he looked at his son in disbelief, his voice trembling, "Leaving the clan is no small matter!"

"You will completely sever all ties with the Xie family for the rest of your life..."

"Xie Zhiyan, do you know the consequences?"

"You are the only heir to our Yong'an Marquisate."

After saying that, Xie Chong pushed away Zhang Long who was supporting him and walked step by step to Xie Zhiyan.

Every step seemed to carry endless heaviness and pain.

Xie Zhiyan raised his head, his cold eyes filled with calmness, without a trace of disturbance.

"I see."

Xie Zhiyan paused and continued, "Don't worry, father. I have already selected several suitable successors from among the children of the clan who are of the right age."

"If possible, I will train it myself. If not, I will have someone special to carefully cultivate it."

"We will never let our mansion be without successors."

His expression and words were rational and calm enough.

He knows exactly what he is doing.

The more this happened, the more Xie Chong felt pain in his heart.

No matter how suitable he is, who can compare to his son who is both talented in literature and martial arts and outstanding in every aspect.

But no one knows a son better than his father.

Seeing that Xie Zhiyan had already made arrangements and planned everything without leaving any room for retreat, there was nothing that he, as a father, would not understand.

He is determined and won't look back.

Thinking of this, Xie Chong felt heartbroken, powerless and regretful.

He took a deep breath, held Xie Zhiyan's shoulders tightly with both hands, and called out in a low and hoarse voice: "Ayan..."

"The child is here." Xie Zhiyan said calmly, his hands unconsciously clenched under his sleeves.

Xie Chong said sadly: "Is it worth it to pay all this for a woman?"

Xie Zhiyan's lips curled up slightly, a rare smile on his face. His tone was more serious than ever, and he spoke each word with emphasis: "Father, she deserves it."

Xie Chong's heart sank, but he continued to ask, "Why?"

"Can you tell father a reason why... she is the only one he can have?"

reason?

There is no reason to love someone.

It's nothing more than that he is greedy for this indulgence with her...

But if he had to say one thing at this moment...

Xie Zhiyan was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly and said in a calm yet precise tone, "In Jiangnan, she saved my life."

Xie Chong's pupils trembled, and he could no longer utter any words of rebuttal.

returning a Favour many times more.

Besides, the girl saved her son's life...

Xie Chong looked at Xie Zhiyan, his eyes filled with complicated emotions: "Ayan, I have a few words to say. Don't blame me for being harsh..."

"Now, you are no longer the Dali Temple Minister you once were. Without the power and protection of the Marquisate, what can you use to fight him?"

Xie Zhiyan smiled nonchalantly and said, "Take your life."

"Now, all I have is to fight for my life."

He said it calmly, as if it was an understatement.

But Xie Chong instantly gasped and stopped talking.

Having said that, what else is there to say?

After a brief silence...

Xie Zhiyan slowly took off the black jade pendant from his waist, which symbolized his status as the heir to the Marquisate, raised his hands in front of Xie Chong, and said in a deep voice, "My son has made up his mind. I hope my father will grant my wish."
