Chapter 37 Fierce Fighting
The Xie family, Old Master Xie, arrived at Xie Bohuai's courtyard again.
"Tell me, which member of the Ye family have you taken a fancy to?" Old Master Xie waved to Qingshan and the others, signaling them to leave. "Don't say you're helping out of respect for Ye Mingyue. The Ye family is not what it used to be. They'd love for their daughter to marry into the royal family."
When Qingshan closed the door, he was still surprised and pulled Shuyan aside to ask what was going on. "Why don't I understand what Master is saying?" He had been with his master every day.
"Of course you wouldn't understand. With your blockhead, what could you possibly understand?" Shuyan slapped Qingshan's head hard. "You're so stupid, you've wasted your brain. I don't know what you're using it for. I'm asking you, have you ever seen Third Master talking to any girl before?"
“I didn’t before, but I’ve seen Miss Ye a few times recently,” Qingshan said.
"Have you ever seen Third Master, or seen him worrying about any girl's affairs?"
"It seems he's helped the Ye family a few times recently." Qingshan suddenly realized, "So Third Master has taken a liking to Miss Ye? Why is that? I've never seen them together before."
Shuyan kept staring at the door, not wanting to say anything more to Qingshan.
Qingshan dared not ask his master, did not want to understand, felt distressed, and held onto Shuyan tightly.
Shuyan disdainfully shook off Qingshan before whispering, "When Third Master was ten years old, he fell into the water at the temple. Madam wouldn't let anyone call a doctor and locked Third Master in his room alone. Have you forgotten that it was Miss Ye who sent someone to call a doctor?"
Qingshan really couldn't remember. He was young then and was sent away by his wife. By the time he found Third Master, Third Master had already seen a doctor.
"How can Third Master still remember things from so many years ago?"
"You think everyone's like you, so heartless?" Shuyan rolled his eyes at Qingshan, then, hearing someone smash a teacup inside, silently worried for his master. His master was truly capable of punching his father.
inside the house.
Xie Bohuai retorted, "You sent someone to investigate me?"
"Xie Bohuai, you are my son, that's why I investigated you!" After all, Old Master Xie was a high-ranking official with both connections and influence. Although Xie Bohuai had cleaned up the mess he made for the Ye family, Old Master Xie still managed to find some clues.
Xie Bohuai broke the teacup at this moment; he had already told the old man not to interfere in his affairs.
"Fine, fine, you've got some nerve, but let me tell you, you want to marry a daughter of the Ye family? No way!" Old Master Xie looked down on the Ye family's social standing. "Their eldest daughter broke off her engagement, and the remaining two are illegitimate daughters. No matter which one of them, don't even think about marrying into the Xie family. If you're willing to let them be concubines, then I won't stop you. You can take all three into the harem, it's up to you!"
Old Master Xie placed high hopes on his youngest son. His eldest son was too mediocre, and his eldest grandson was a complete mess. If the Xie family were handed over to his eldest son, the family would decline within ten years. As the head of the family, he also had to consider the prosperity of the entire clan. His youngest son was capable and decisive, and his wife was likely to become the matriarch of the Xie family.
"Xie Zhongyuan, don't think you can suppress me. It's my business who I marry. I don't care about the fate of the Xie family. Don't try to put pressure on me!" Xie Bohuai angrily called out his father's name.
Hearing Xie Bohuai's words, Old Master Xie became even more certain that the Ye family's daughter could not be allowed to enter the family. "So you, Xie Bohuai, have a weakness too. I thought you were fearless. Let me make this clear: if you want the Ye family to be safe, you'd better obediently follow my arrangements and choose a girl of equal social standing to marry. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to deal with the Ye family!"
Grandpa Xie slammed the door and left.
In the courtyard, Qingshan nudged Shuyan, "Good brother, go inside and take a look. I'll wait for you in the courtyard." He knew without a doubt that his master's face would be very sour, and he didn't want to be punished again.
"Who's your good brother? Shut up." Shuyan took a deep breath and went inside to clean up the broken porcelain shards.
He even breathed cautiously, afraid that his master would draw his sword and kill someone.
"Sir, you..."
"Go and find out how the old man found out about this, right now!" Xie Bohuai interrupted.
Having something to do is better than nothing, so Shuyan immediately agreed. When they arrived at the courtyard, he patted Qingshan on the shoulder and said, "The master sent me to investigate something, so I'm leaving this to you."
"I'll go with you too!"
"That won't do. The master needs someone to serve him. Qingshan, thank you for your hard work. If you get a beating, I'll bring you medicine." Shuyan ran off quickly.
"Shuyan, you're unethical!" Qingshan had just turned around when he saw his master walking towards him. "Third...Third Master, where are you going?"
Xie Bohuai didn't say anything. Since the old man was too idle, he would find something for him to do.
Since his master remained silent, Qingshan had no choice but to follow quietly. As a result, his master led him to a brothel.
"Thank you...Master Xie, what brings you here?" The madam of Wan Hua Lou was not happy to see Xie Bohuai. Every time Xie Bohuai came, he would scare away her customers.
"Which room is Xie Yun'en in?" Xie Bohuai asked directly.
"Oh my good sir, it's been so long since Young Master Xie came. He hasn't come since you took him away last time!" Mama Hua shook her head with a smile, but as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xie Bohuai's dark face sweep over her with a cold glare, which startled her.
“Mama Hua, if you don’t want to run this Wan Hua Lou anymore, you can just say so.” As soon as Xie Bohuai finished speaking, Mama Hua immediately led the way for him.
Xie Bohuai pushed open the door and saw his good nephew lying on either side of a girl, engaged in a passionate encounter.
He had Qingshan tie up Xie Yun'en, and without giving him a chance to speak, dragged him naked onto the road.
Since the old man had nothing to do, he found something for him to do.
Xie Yun'en was tied up tightly and couldn't speak. He was watched by people the whole way and completely lost face.
After Xie Bohuai brought the person to the town government office, Shuyan finished her investigation and returned with a report.
"Take care of the person. Also, does anyone else know about this?" Xie Bohuai asked.
Shu Yan couldn't explain it clearly. "It's impossible to guarantee that only Master can find out about this kind of thing." After a pause, he tried to remind him, "Third Master, today is Princess Longyu's polo match. I heard that Miss Ye also went."
