Chapter 905: Who Are You?
Xiao Baoxin had never known about such a past.
Because Xie Jiu was too outstanding?
No matter how she thought about it, her Xie Xian was still more outstanding.
Xie Xian smiled and touched her eyes. It was all in her eyes. It was too sweet.
“Well, at least that was what many people thought at the time.”
Of course, he was not one of them.
“I think highly of myself, but I don’t look down on anyone. I still acknowledge those who have real talent.”
Xiao Baoxin held his hand with a smile and continued to stare at him, listening to him continue.
The sunlight was so beautiful. They were just sitting here, holding hands, and they were already very happy.
‘.. Unfortunately, I can’t continue that…’
Xiao Baoxin quietly withdrew his hand. Sometimes, it was quite beautiful to say nothing.
Xie Xian coughed dryly. Of course, that was not the case.
In fact, he and Xie Jiu had once been on good terms. Although they were both competitive, they were not on guard against each other. In his opinion, that was a healthy competition.
However, in the eyes of Mother Xie and Madam Yuan, it was completely different.
Xie Xian had been sickly since he was a child. He had to take medicine for half a year to recuperate, and there was even a time when his life was in danger.
Attendant Xie valued Xie Jiu so much that he had even used a favor to invite Wang An, the famous painter of the Wang Family who had already passed away.
If it wasn’t for Attendant Xie’s favor, Wang An was also an iconic figure of the Wang Clan. No matter what, he wouldn’t accept a concubine’s son as a disciple. From this, it could be seen how much Attendant Xie valued Xie Jiu.
The reason why they valued it was because it was arranged for them to be the next successor.
Mrs. Yuan was the first to feel injustice for her son. Her son was just sick and weak, not that he could not afford to live!
The couple didn’t argue because of this. A rare pair of beautiful immortals couldn’t compare to their biological son.
Mother Xie naturally couldn’t stand it either. Xie Jiu was the son of a concubine.
Once Xie Jiu was really nurtured and his ambitions were raised, how would Xie Xian be able to handle himself? Could it be that the eldest son of the Di family would have to lower his head to the second son of the Shu family?
She could allow him to grow up and allow him to have a high position and a high salary, but she could not allow his son to suppress the direct line.
Moreover, she didn’t like Xie Qing. She was too showy and ostentatious. As a result, many people only knew Xie Jiu from the Xie family and treated Xie Xian as invisible.
She was talented, but with her body, she probably couldn’t…
Everyone said so.
Who could endure it for a long time?
The last straw that crushed the camel was Xie Xian and Xie Jiu going to Waguan Temple to climb the mountain.
It was November, and it was snowing in Jiankang City. It wasn’t a big deal, but the cold was enough for Xie Xian to choke. When he returned home, he had a high fever. He had to be treated for seven days before his illness was finally under control.
After he woke up, he found out that Mother Xie had punished Xie Jiu by kneeling in the ancestral hall for seven days.
Even Xie Shizhong’s mother smashed his head with a teacup when she pleaded for mercy.
Mother Xie did not say it explicitly, but everyone could tell that she suspected that Xie Jiu had ulterior motives and wanted to make a move on Xie Xian.
After that, Xie Jiu and he were no longer close.
The two of them were like strangers, and it could be said that Xie Jiu had also undergone earth-shaking changes. He was mixed up with some profligate young masters and was ignorant and incompetent. Xie Shi Zhong had tried to persuade him several times but failed, so he had no choice but to give up.
He had been away for years. He had left for a few years. Even when he came back and started a family, he couldn’t hold him back.
“Actually, do kings and generals have balls?”
“Jiulang has his talent, and Abba has a reason to support him. The Xie family must be passed down from generation to generation; Grandmother had her reasons to defend herself. This was the foundation of guarding the family. If the sons and daughters of concubines were uneasy about guarding the destiny and insisted on fighting with the sons and daughters of the first wife, causing a ruckus, and the family was not harmonious, how could it prosper?”
“I can’t say who’s right and who’s wrong…”
“This is determined by one’s thinking and vision.” It’s also decided by this society.”
Therefore…
He still believed in Xie Jiu.
At least, after listening to the entire story, Xie Xian’s evaluation of Xie Jiu was more positive.
“You believe him?”
“I believe in his intelligence.” Xie Xian smiled.
As for the others…
It had been too long.
People would change. Who knew which direction they would change in?
A person like Xie Jiu should have been ambitious. He was different from Second Uncle. Second Uncle was more resigned to his fate and cared more about the Xie family. Although he resented the unfairness of fate and wanted to fight for it, Second Uncle would not do anything that would harm the Xie family and hurt their flesh and blood.
The deposed Crown Prince had once intended to attack him, and had instructed Second Master Xie, how could Xie Xian not know?
Second Master Xie would rather pretend to be injured and be abandoned by the deposed Crown Prince. This was all in Xie Xian’s heart.
On the other hand, Xie Jiu looked open-minded on the surface, but he had always been holding back his anger.
On the day Xie Qing left Jiankang, he went out to see her off. He could see it from Xie Qing’s eyes.
The sky is high and the sea is vast. What are you if you jump out of this Xie family and jump out of this red tape system of inheritance?
How are you stronger than me?

Xie Jiu’s matter was over with Xiao Baoxin and Xie Xian.
After hearing that Third Master Xie had caused trouble in Yi An Hall and Rong An Hall, Xie Jiu gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter.
Xie Qing had heard about it because Third Master Xie had quarreled with Madam Wang after he returned to the Third household. Madam Wang had complained to Madam Cai, and Madam Cai had complained to her daughter-in-law, Twelfth Aunt Wang. Then, Xie Qing had heard it from his wife.
Xie Jiu felt his head swell after hearing the twists and turns.
He knew that this was true, but he really had no intention of telling Third Master Xie about it. He would not do something that would not benefit him at all.
Third Master Xie was unreliable. Didn’t he see the evidence? He had only made a big fuss and didn’t use his bullsh * t ability. How could he quietly suppress the matter?
Xie Ning’s ghost would probably come back to avenge him, and Third Master Xie would still be able to do something about it. Otherwise, he would be able to resolve it himself and not take it seriously.
Who would have thought that it would be such a coincidence that when he was beside Third Master Xie, someone would expose his background?
He knew that Mother Xie would suspect him immediately.
That old lady had a paranoia of being persecuted. She would suspect that someone was trying to harm Xie Xian at the slightest sign of trouble.
Really.
To put it bluntly, there were many people who wanted to kill Xie Xian. Who was Xie Jiu?!
However, he could only keep this matter to himself. He felt aggrieved. The other party did not point out his surname and suspect him. They did not even let out any news. If he wanted to personally come and explain, wouldn’t he be guilty?
Grievance!
How aggrieved.
It was fine if he had really instructed them to do so, but it had nothing to do with him at all. This made him unhappy.
What made him even more unhappy was that Third Master Xie even ran over and said to him personally,”Third Uncle believes you. Our Xie family must be united. Don’t fall into other people’s traps!”
“Just pretend that you didn’t hear anything about this. Forget it!”
Xie Jiu almost spat blood on his face. This was what he had advised him that day!
I don’t need you to comfort me!?
No, this was definitely not a consolation, but a disgust.
“Third uncle, you are really my third uncle…”
