Thinking of this, the two brothers gritted their teeth in hatred. Xie Chang Chao swung his arm. That day when Xie Jing Xing stepped on his shoulder, there was still a dull pain. He said, "Second Older Brother, one heard that Shen Xin and wife entered the Palace today. This time they have achieved military merits, one fear that His Majesty will reward Shen Qiu."
The Shen and Xie families were in deep discord. Xie Chang Wu and Xie Chang Chao did not view Shen Qiu as a thorn in their eyes because of the Shen and Xie family's political stance. In fact, they viewed all the youths in the capital as their opponents. And Shen Qiu was undoubtedly the most outstanding among those youths. Even though Xie Jing Xing was also outstanding, Xie Jing Xing did not become an official and with Xie Ding's protection, they could do nothing even if they wanted to. But Shen Qiu was different. If Xie Chang Wu and Xie Chang Chao were to become an official, one fear that everyone would compare the two brothers with the Di sons of the First household of the Shen family.
And what Xie Chang Wu and Xie Chang Chao hated the most was to be inferior to others.
"What are you afraid of?" Xie Chang Wu said in disdain, "Only a martial artist who only knows how to fight and kill, and does not know anything about the matters of the court. In the Shen family, other than Shen Xin's military merits, what can Shen Xin do? Now the Shen family is also an arrow at the end of its flight. It looks good, but in the end … "He suddenly stopped and did not continue speaking.
"Second Older Brother is right." Xie Chang Chao smiled, "Who asked the Shen family to be a neutral party. In this world, it is only a dream to want to be virtuous. But many thanks to the Shen family's stupidity, at least in the future, we will have one less opponent. "
If the conversation between the two of them was known by others, one fear that they would be shocked. After all, Xie Chang Wu and Xie Chang Chao had a noble appearance on the outside, and the Xie family did not participate in the fight for the heir apparent position. But just now Xie Chang Wu and Xie Chang Chao's words hinted that they had gone behind the Xie family's back to a certain faction.
"Speaking of which, the Shen family is not to be feared as we still have one in our own family." Xie Chang Chao suddenly turned to another direction. That direction was the courtyard where Princess Yu Qing was recuperating, and it was also the courtyard where Xie Jing Xing was currently staying. He thought of Xie Jing Xing pointing the spear at his head during the academy examinations, and a gloomy feeling rose in his chest. After a while, he said, "That bastard is getting more and more arrogant."
He actually called Xie Jing Xing a 'scoundrel' in private and if they met on normal days, he would be very respectful, which really made one speechless.
"That's right." Xie Chang Chao followed Xie Chang Wu's words and said, "These days he is more well-behaved and Father values him more. Could it be that there's an expert guiding him? Is there some kind of conspiracy? "
Xie Jing Xing had been stubborn for so many years and did not enter officialdom. Even though it was a headache, it made the two Xie brothers secretly relieved. But even so, when people mentioned the young Marquis Xie, other than being cynical, they were full of praise for his heroic bearing on the battlefield. Not only that, no matter how Xie Jing Xing opposed Xie Ding, Xie Ding treated Xie Jing Xing wholeheartedly. Instead, his attitude towards his two filial sons was lukewarm. As a result, the jealousy towards Xie Jing Xing seemed to grow more and more intense over the past ten years.
In the past, as long as Xie Jing Xing was in the Ding capital, something big would happen every three to five days, but ever since the academy examinations incident, he seemed to have changed his temperament and lived in seclusion everyday, not knowing what he was busy with. But this kind of uncharacteristic quietness made Xie Ding very gratified, and even felt that Xie Jing Xing had finally put away his stubbornness and was going to do serious things.
Because of this, Xie Chang Chao and Xie Chang Wu were even more nervous.
"Who cares what expert guide him." Xie Chang Wu sneered, "There will be a day when he will be stepped on by my feet. At the beginning that woman was a Princess and did not end up well, much less a son."
