"Correct." Gao Yang rarely agreed to Ji Yu Shu's words.
…
The residence of the Marquis of Lin An in the Ding capital was much more deserted compared to the flourishing scene two years ago. There was no longer a long line of carriages and horses, and the number of people who came to visit Xie Ding was getting lesser by the day. There was no choice, ever since Xie Jing Xing died, Xie Ding seemed to have lost interest in the matters of the court. The Xie Family, which had been the most troublesome and had given the late Emperor a headache, had finally lost its spirit and could no longer make a name for itself.
And now in the Xie family, Xie Chang Wu and Xie Chang Chao were still climbing up the career ladder. Even though these two people were not as stunning as Xie Jing Xing, they still had some abilities. If it was not because of their Shu son status, they would have climbed even faster. Even so, to be able to reach this kind of promotion, it made one sigh with regret.
In the Xie residence, Madam Fang was handing the newly made clothes to Xie Chang Wu. Madam Fang was already close to forty years of age, but she did not show any signs of aging. She was different from Princess Yu Qing who was born in the Imperial family. Until now, Madam Fang still retained some of the Jiangnan women's unique 'pretty daughter of a humble family'. She also spoke softly and slowly, extremely gentle, making one unable to help but love her when they saw her.
With this kind of delicate charm, it was no wonder that when the Marquis of Lin An, Xie Ding, had a lovely wife like Princess Yu Qing, he still ended up on Madam Fang's bed.
Madam Fang said, "This is this year's newly made material. One let the tailor make some winter clothes for both of you brothers. The Ding capital is getting colder every day and both of you are out all day, so one must not catch a cold."
Xie Chang Wu reached out to receive it, "Thanking Mother." But his heart was thinking of other things.
"Your Younger Brother's clothes are also here. One heard that Chang Chao went out to hunt with others. Why is he not back after such a long time?" Madam Fang grumbled, "Yesterday the Marquis was still telling me that Chang Chao kept thinking of going to the Ministry of Appointments and wanted to bring Chang Chao to meet the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Appointments to have a chat. At the end Chang Chao was not around these few days, thus one could only let down this opportunity." Madam Fang sighed and said, "Before Chang Chao, you were always thinking about improving yourself. Why are you thinking about playing around now?"
Xie Chang Wu forced a smile and said, "Third Younger Brother … It is not entirely for fun. It is just that the recent snowstorm is heavy and the weather is cold. Most likely it is not easy to leave the mountains after hunting, so it was delayed. He will be back in a few days and at that time let Father invite the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel to attend the banquet."
Hearing this, Madam Fang was somewhat nervous, "The snowstorm is strong, will the mountain be sealed? Will Chang Chao be in danger?"
"How could it be?" Xie Chang Wu said with a smile, "There are many people following and they are all experienced people. Mother do not worry."
Madam Fang was then at ease and pulled Xie Chang Wu's hands, "Mother now only have the two of you to rely on. Master had been lukewarm to me for so many years, and in the beginning Xie Jing Xing was pressuring you two brothers. Mother's heart is also very sad to see you two suffer grievances. After enduring for so many years, it is fortunate that the Heavens have eyes and tortured him to death. Now there is no one in the residence of the Marquis of Lin An who can block your path. You can only continue to move forward and step on those people who ridiculed us, mother and son, so that in the future even the Marquis would not be able to ignore your meritorious services and earn a title for Mother. In this way, without the identity of a Shu son, the entire residence of the Marquis of Lin An will be yours. " When Madam Fang said these words, even though she was speaking softly and slowly, there was some unwillingness and resentment in it. Thinking about all these years, she had been suppressing her anger to live.
Xie Chang Wu said, "Do not worry Mother. Since the Heavens let Xie Jing Xing die early, it means that the Heavens are standing on our side. There will be a day when we, mother and son, have the final say in the residence of the Marquis of Lin An! "
