Chapter 360
Absolutely not!
These two evils must be driven out!
The more Madam Xie thought about it, the more she felt that this was the truth. She angrily scolded Xie Xiu, "You actually said I was fooling around? Now you're trying to be disobedient and unfilial too?
Since Xie Xiu and Xie You are both grandchildren of the Luo family, what's wrong with adopting them? You don't need these two sons, so why are you holding them hostage? Do you want people to continue to laugh at you?
If it weren't for that vicious woman Chen Fang, Sheng Niang and her family wouldn't have died. Do you still want the Luo family to be extinct?"
As soon as she said this, Luo Hongwang took the opportunity to sneer, "Yes, Xie Yun, you are unwilling to break off the relationship. Could it be that you are coveting the Luo family's property? Do you want to make the Luo family completely extinct?"
The two of them sang the same tune and almost angered Xie Yun to death!
He glared at Luo Hongwang angrily, and thinking of his mother's unreliability, he felt even more unlucky.
If Old Master Xie hadn't had a stroke, and he had been keeping Old Madam Xie in check, he wouldn't have been so passive!
However, ever since Xie Xiu returned to Beijing this time, everything has gone wrong for him.
Could it be that the little girl he gave birth to was really here to bring bad luck to him?
Before this girl was born, there were no such troubles in the family!
And even if Xie Xiu wanted to take revenge, could he really cause Old Master Xie to have a stroke?
The more Xie Yun thought about it, the more he felt resistant to his granddaughter Xie Ying.
He secretly glanced at Xie Ying and saw that she was looking at him with her big black eyes wide open, without any crying or fear of a child.
His heart was beating more and more nervous, and he couldn't help but think of Luo Sheng's eyes that were still open when he died.
Thinking of Luo Sheng's previous "sudden appearance", Xie Yun's heart skipped a beat. He finally stopped objecting and agreed to sever ties with Xie Xiu and Xie You.
Minister Zhou never expected that things would turn out like this.
He watched this farce silently. Seeing Xie Yun signing the letter of severance with a gloomy face, no longer as high-spirited as before, he couldn't help but secretly shake his head in his heart: What's the point? He didn't cherish such a virtuous wife, but insisted on marrying a vicious woman, which eventually brought unrest to the family and ruined his reputation. Now that such a thing has happened, Xie Yun's career as a Hanlin scholar is probably over.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone came outside to report that an angel had come to deliver a message!
Minister Zhou's face changed drastically and he quickly stood up to greet him.
The angel who came was Wang Zhi. He held a bright yellow imperial edict in one hand. When he saw Xie Yun, he said, "Xie Xueshi, the emperor has an order!"
Xie Yun's face turned pale and he knelt stiffly on his knees.
Wang Zhi immediately read out the imperial edict.
Xie Ying pricked up her ears curiously and looked at him with a gloating look.
The emperor deliberately chose this time and asked the eunuch to convey his decree. Wasn't it just a slap in the face of Xie Yun, and he did it in public for everyone to see?
As expected, the imperial edict was not long, and it had only two meanings throughout - to dismiss Xie Yun and to revoke the imperial edicts of Old Lady Xie and Chen Fang.
Although Xie Yun was not personally responsible for the deaths of Luo Sheng and the Luo family, his reputation was completely ruined after this incident.
Not to mention getting promoted, getting rich, and becoming the prime minister, it is impossible for him to continue to sit on the position of Hanlin scholar.
Otherwise, how will the world see it?
Just looking at the fact that he had been a Hanlin scholar for many years, one could tell how much Emperor Taihe disliked him. It was just that he had no good excuse before, and had to consider the Chen family's reputation, so he kept doing it.
Now that there is such a ready-made handle and the matter of the poisonous insect, Emperor Taihe is completely enraged.
How could Xie Yun and Chen Fang continue to live at ease?
Xie Ying curved her eyes with a smile.
Xie Yun just stood there in a daze, without any reaction for a long time.
Wang Zhi continued, smiling, "Xie Yun, why don't you accept my order? Are you planning to disobey me?"
Xie Yun shuddered all over and quickly reached out to take the imperial edict. Trembling, he bowed deeply in the direction of the imperial palace, his voice choked with sobs: "Your humble servant... accepts the edict... thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace..."
