Chapter 215 Severing Ties Again, Changing Name
"Oh, do you think we are all blind and stupid and can't see what you are thinking?"
Luo Hongwang glanced at Xie You with disdain, and then said to Xie Yun, "From now on, Xie You belongs to you. Take out the family tree and cross out Xie Xiu's name."
Xie Yun said nothing, took out the prepared family tree and crossed out Xie Xiu's name.
Since the names of Tu Jiaojiao and others had not been written down in time, a lot of trouble was saved at this time.
The pitch-black ink was like a ruthless blade, slashing across Xie Xiu's name, leaving behind a mark of ink that penetrated the back of the paper.
Then, Xie Yun looked at Xie Xiu with a complicated expression and sighed, "Although you blame me for harming your mother and your maternal grandfather's family and are unwilling to acknowledge me as your father, I still hope that you can pass the imperial examinations and become a Jinshi, and rise to prominence from now on."
Xie Xiu smiled and bowed, "Thank you for your kind words, Excellency. I also hope that you will live a long life and have many children and grandchildren."
After some hypocritical courtesy, Luo Hongwang asked Xie You to sign his name on the letter of severance and put his fingerprint on it.
Afterwards, Xie Xiu and the other two said goodbye and left, leaving Xie You standing stiffly in the same place.
He stared at the direction where the three people left, looking at Xie Xiu's tall and graceful back, and felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart, as if he had missed something very precious.
Xie You frowned, feeling more and more uncomfortable.
Xie Yun patted his shoulder and said lovingly, "No need to watch. Since he has chosen this path, he should experience the taste of it himself in the future."
Xie You quickly supported him and asked with concern, "Father, are you okay?"
"I can still hold on." Xie Xiu looked at him with satisfaction. "You are very smart and have not let your father down. From now on, you can live at home peacefully and let your father guide you in writing. Next spring, you will definitely pass the imperial examination!"
Xie You was overjoyed and quickly thanked him: "I will do my best! I will not let you down!"
Xie Yun personally helped him up and continued, "You don't have to care about the things of the Luo family. As the saying goes, books contain golden houses and beautiful women.
As long as you can pass the imperial examination, you will be able to marry a beautiful woman and you will never lack money in the future."
Xie You thought about it and felt relieved, smiling more sincerely: "I understand, son!"
He thought in his heart: No matter how much wealth the Luo family has, if they don't have the power to deter villains, those things will not only bring no benefits, but will also become death warrants!
He curled his lips in a mocking tone: Xie Xiu had indeed stayed in the countryside for too long, unable to comprehend such a simple truth. But this was also a good thing; it would serve as a stepping stone for him.
However, what he didn't realize was that Xie Yun saw all his little movements.
Xie Yun's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked Xie You some academic questions and gave him some pointers before sending him back.
After Xie You left, he went directly to Songheyuan.
In Songhe Courtyard, Old Madam Xie was lying on the bed, holding a pipe in her hand, puffing away smoke with an intoxicated look on her face.
Xie You stood by her side, fanning her gently.
This was the scene Xie Yun saw when he walked in.
He frowned and couldn't help but advise: "Mother, although this medicine is effective, it can't be used too much."
Madam Xie glanced at him disapprovingly. "Do you think I'm willing to use it? If that so-called miracle doctor wasn't so useless, why would I keep using this thing?"
Ever since she came back from the Ministry of Justice, she has been suffering from severe pain in her heart and stomach.
She really couldn't bear the pain, so she consulted many doctors and drank bowl after bowl of bitter medicine, but she still felt pain.
Later, she finally found a miracle medicine that stopped her pain.
Old Madam Xie has enjoyed a life of luxury for many years, and even now, even when faced with a huge change, she is unwilling to compromise herself.
I have been using this medicine for pain relief.
She didn't want Xie Yun to say things she didn't want to hear as soon as he came!
Madam Xie became increasingly angry as she thought about it. She quickly took another deep breath before asking, "Is the matter resolved? Did you really give them the things?"
Xie Yun's face was filled with helplessness. "Now that this matter has spread to everyone, if I don't return the things to them and let Luo Hongwang make trouble, how can I still have the dignity to do it?"
Rather than losing face and being forced to pay back the money, it would be better for him to just return the money and save his dignity.
Old Madam Xie pounded the bed in anger: "These evil creatures!"
Xie Yun lowered his eyes and said nothing. He knew that Old Madam Xie was a person who only bullied the weak and feared the strong.
In the past, she could still bully Xie Xiu by relying on her seniority, but Luo Hongwang was of the same generation as her, and Tu Yong was tall and strong, and very imposing.
It just so happened that he was dismissed from office and lost the imperial edict from Old Lady Xie. How could he dare to act rudely in front of Luo Hongwang and Tu Yong now?
"It's come to this, there's no point in saying more. I came here because I'm worried about my mother, and I also want to talk to You'er."
Xie You had originally buried his head, silently acting as a vase. Upon hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Xie Yun in surprise.
When Xie Yun came in just now, she stood up, bowed, and then sat down again, continuing to be a vase.
But she didn't expect that Xie Yun actually came to see her specially.
What does he want with her?
Xie You gripped the handle of the fan nervously, but didn't dare show any dissatisfaction on his face.
Fortunately, Xie Yun didn't keep the secret. He said directly: "You'er, your name is homophonic with your second brother, which is indeed a bit inappropriate. From now on, you should be called Xie Yi. Yiren's Yi is also a good name."
Xie You, no, it should be Xie Yi now.
She quickly stood up and saluted, smiling and saying respectfully, "It's indeed a good name. I always listen to you, father."
But when she sat down, she gripped the fan handle even tighter.
In order to annoy Xie You, Chen Fang deliberately named her Xie You. However, her biological mother was only a concubine, so even if she felt it was inappropriate, she did not dare to stop it.
Now she has grown up, but her father never asked her opinion and changed her name.
No one cared what she was thinking.
From the beginning to the end, she was just a tool.
Shay sneered in her heart, but the smile on her face became more peaceful and gentle. She sat quietly with an elegant posture, like a maid in a painting.
Xie Yun was very satisfied, so he said, "Your second sister had some accidents, and her marriage has been arranged. Someone will come to propose marriage soon.
But you are her elder sister after all. It would be inappropriate for her to get married before you.
So I have also chosen a good marriage for you, with a student of the same grade as me.
His student is very outstanding. Not only is he a well-behaved person, but he is also young and handsome, and can write good articles. He will definitely pass the exam this time.
Besides, his family is a wealthy one in the area. If you marry him, you will be able to live a life of luxury, no worse than your own family."
Shay's cheeks flushed and she lowered her head shyly: "A daughter always listens to her father."
Mrs. Xie was delighted. "Tell me in detail, what's that man's name? Where does he live? What does his family do?"
