Chapter 312 Xie Xiu's Exposed Spikes
The patriarch of the Xie family is not only a good actor, but his words are also very persuasive.
If it were an ordinary person, after hearing what he said, they would easily be deceived by him.
But Xie Xiu is not an ordinary person.
As soon as he heard it, he discovered the loopholes and fallacies in the words of the Xie clan leader.
So he just laughed and said, "So, in the eyes of Patriarch Xie, Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Second Young Master of the Jiang Family are not as capable as the Xie Clan. They can't help me, only the Xie Clan can help me."
The Xie clan leader's face immediately turned dark!
He dropped his pretense, and his eyes, looking at Xie Xiu, were filled with dissatisfaction and sinisterness. "The Princess and the Jiang family are indeed very capable, but do you really think they will always help you?"
Xie Xiu still smiled gently, but the look in his eyes as he looked at the Xie clan leader was filled with undisguised coldness and sharpness: "Of course they won't help me forever, but will the Xie clan always help me?"
Although he is low-key, he can no longer hold back when it is time to show his edge.
Otherwise, you will be treated as weak and vulnerable fat meat and eaten up as you please.
The Xie clan leader came to visit this time, obviously because he had his eyes on the coal mine in his hands, so Xie Xiu showed his sharp edge at the right time.
The Xie clan leader's face darkened: "We share the same blood. The Xie clan and you are our own family."
Xie Xiu couldn't help but sneer. "Xie Yun's family has only been exiled for a short time, and we don't even know if they've reached the border yet. They share the same blood as the Xie family. They're your own people, so why haven't you tried to save them?"
Knowing clearly about the entanglement between him and Xie Yun, this person actually used the blood flowing from his body to fool him. It was ridiculous.
Xie Xiu was still unaware of the Xie clan's plans at this time, otherwise he would have known that these people were ridiculous and inherited the same lineage!
His words made the Xie clan leader's face even uglier.
Is it that he doesn't want to save Xie Yun?
It's obvious that he doesn't have that ability!
Xie Xiu's words were a slap in his face and a cruel mockery of him!
"He married Chen Fang, which violated His Majesty's taboo. Who can save him? Even the Princess and the Jiang family don't have the ability..."
The Xie clan leader wanted to try to make amends, but before he could finish his words, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Xie Xiu: "Clan leader Xie is wrong. Although Xie Yun married Chen Fang, he divorced her long ago and never committed the crime of treason.
If the Princess and the Jiang family are willing to save him, His Majesty will certainly give them this face and save Xie Yun from the suffering of exile.
They have the ability, but they are unwilling to save Xie Yun. I just don’t know, is the Xie family incapable of saving him, or unwilling to save him? "
These words were even more hurtful, and Patriarch Xie was so angry that his face turned the color of liver.
He glared at Xie Xiu in dissatisfaction, and after a long while, he finally calmed down. He said awkwardly, "Do you hate your father so much that you're so heartless that you don't want to have anything to do with the Xie family?"
Xie Xiu was too lazy to answer his stupid and ridiculous question. He just sneered and asked, "Xie Yun has helped the Xie family for many years. Now that he is in trouble, what are you doing?
If we really talk about ruthlessness, how can I compare to you? I've told the Xie family before that if the Xie family wants to invest in the coal mining business, it's fine. As long as they show enough sincerity, we can leave it to the Princess to decide.
But if you insist on having inappropriate thoughts and want to use your so-called blood relationship to control me and take what I have, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The Xie clan leader had a gloomy face and didn't speak for a long time.
He had actually guessed that this would be the result, but he was unwilling to accept it, so he wanted to try to persuade Xie Xiu.
Now that he saw that Xie Xiu was unlikely to agree, he could only give up.
After suppressing his anger again, he turned and said, "Xie family has never had any improper thoughts. It is you who have a deep misunderstanding of the Xie family!
After all, it's your father who has wronged you. It's not surprising that you would think this way. I don't blame you. It's just that the Xie family genealogy is extremely important. I hope you can return it to me."
Xie Xiu raised his lips in sarcasm, but did not deny it. He directly took out the family tree that had been prepared long ago, placed it on the table, and pushed it in the direction of the Xie clan leader.
"Someone did give me a copy of the Xie family genealogy not long ago, but I don't know if it has anything to do with Patriarch Xie. If Patriarch Xie wants it, he can exchange it for something of equal value."
The Xie clan leader's expression changed, but he still picked up the gifts he had prepared at the beginning and asked, "What do you think of these things?"
This time, Xie Xiu agreed very straightforwardly: "If Patriarch Xie wants to use them in exchange, considering your age, I will reluctantly agree."
The Xie clan leader's face immediately darkened. He stood up with the gift, handed it to Xie Xiu, and then reached out to take the family tree on the table.
Unexpectedly, Xie Xiu suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed down the family tree.
The Xie clan leader immediately looked over with displeasure: "What do you mean? Are you kidding me?"
In his rage, he became more and more rude in his words.
Xie Xiu smiled faintly and said, "Patriarch Xie, you are worrying too much. I just want to remind you to think twice before you act. I will not be too greedy and bring disaster upon myself.
Xie Yun was too greedy at the beginning, which led to his big mistake, and in the end he lost everything.
Patriarch Xie is obviously a smart man, and he certainly won't want to repeat the same mistakes and seek his own death."
The Xie clan leader forced a smile and said, "Mr. Xie, you're worrying too much. Xie Yun and I are completely different!"
Xie Xiu smiled gently, his temper calm. "Patriarch Xie is right. You are indeed different from him. He won the top spot in the imperial examination, married a daughter of the Chen family, and served as a Hanlin scholar for many years. How can you be the same as Patriarch Xie?"
At the end of his speech, he withdrew his hand from the family tree and said, "Thank you, Patriarch, since you like this family tree, you can take it back now."
The Xie clan leader was almost furious, but Xie Xiu had finally let go, and he really didn't dare to say anything, for fear that Xie Xiu would suddenly turn against him.
So he almost immediately picked up the family tree on the table, then cautiously stepped back several steps to keep a distance from Xie Xiu, making sure that he couldn't snatch the family tree back, and then he quickly opened the family tree to check.
He guessed that Xie Xiu would definitely destroy the page about him, but when he turned it over, he found a piece of paper tucked inside the family tree.
The Xie clan leader was shocked at first, but when he saw the contents on the paper clearly, his face suddenly changed!
That piece of paper actually recorded the crimes of the Xie family!
Over the years, the Xie family has relied on Xie Yun's power to lend money to others at high interest rates. Once the other party is unable to repay the debt, they will confiscate their land, houses, shops and ancestral property.
Relying on various means, the Xie family grew stronger and stronger and acquired large tracts of land and property.
When Xie Yun fell from power, the head of the Xie family had been worried that these things would be exposed and they would all suffer.
After waiting anxiously for so many days, nothing happened.
They were relieved then and set their sights on Xie Xiu.
Who knew... Xie Xiu not only had someone steal the Xie family's genealogy, but he also knew what they had done!
The Xie clan leader felt cold all over and stared at Xie Xiu in horror: "What on earth do you want to do?"
