Chapter 827: The Pot Comes From The Sky

If it wasn’t for Duo Fu’s reminder, Emperor Yong Ping would have immediately informed Xie Xian and let him go.

Xie Xian’s mother had died. Firstly, he had to be at the funeral to show filial piety. Secondly, he had already submitted his resignation letter. The Emperor had summoned people into the Palace whenever he had something to do. Including you, the Emperor and Xie Xian. Were you afraid that those Imperial Censorate doctors were just idle people who would turn a blind eye? If you didn’t die, you would have wasted your life in this world.

Since ancient times, the only time officials had been filial was during wars. That was when they were military officers who went to the battlefield to kill enemies.

To replace the filial piety of parents with the loyalty of the country, it is called robbing love.

Even in times of war, there was no such thing as taking away the feelings of civil officials. Therefore, although it was not a peaceful and prosperous time now, it could be said that Xie Xian’s sorrow was 100% genuine. There was no reason to say.

Excluding Xie Xian, Emperor Yong Ping’s first choice was Yang Shao.

This was the son-in-law of the Song family, and he was also a martial arts expert. He was the most suitable person to step in.

Who knew that after Yang Shao left, he found out that Yuan Chen had already fled after the news of Prince Huaiyang being thrown into the imperial prison spread and never appeared in Jiankang City again.

Lady Yin had long sensed that something was wrong. Prince Huaiyang and Yuan Chen had been estranged for a while, but for some reason, they had stuck together again.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t scolded him before, and she had even fought him before, but her arm couldn’t win against his thigh. He couldn’t resist Yuan Chen acting one way in front of him and another behind his back. He promised to be fine and then turned around to be good with Prince Huaiyang.

She did not blame Yuan Chen for being so desperate. Ever since the scandal with the Prince of Huaiyang was exposed, the Ning County Lord had stabbed him in the back. Not only did he divorce Yuan Chen, but he had also secretly declared that he would never be on good terms with the Yuan family.

After that, no one was willing to marry Yuan Chen. Even the matchmakers spent a lot of money on them, but no one was willing to marry them.

Even the daughters of poor families didn’t have it.

It wasn’t that there weren’t any. She was a daughter of a concubine from a poor family who had fallen down when she was young.

She didn’t even like him, let alone her proud son.

And the initiator of all this was the Xiao family, Xiao Baoxin. The one who exposed the scandal with the Prince of Huaiyang was surprisingly Xiao Baoshu. It could be said that his son’s life was ruined in the hands of this pair of siblings.

Madam Yin felt sorry for her son, who was despised by others. In the end, her persuasion was fruitless, and Madam Yin turned a blind eye to it.

However, the way he closed his eyes was a little out of Lady Yin’s expectations. She did not expect Prince Huaiyang to have the intention to rebel and kill Emperor Yong Ping in front of everyone in Taiji Palace. She had not seen Yuan Chen since the night the news was spread, which made her suspicious.

However, that was her biological son. What else could she say?

Like the Princess Consort of King Huaiyang, who put righteousness above family and switched sides at the last minute?

It didn’t exist.

She would rather die than expose her son. Not only did she not tell anyone, but she also helped to clean up the mess. He was afraid that news would spread from his own residence and arouse the suspicion of others, so he asked his trusted aide to spread the news throughout the Yuan residence that Yuan Chen had kept a courtesan outside and that she would sleep with him for the rest of her life.

He couldn’t even think of something more high-class. It was too eye-catching to talk about going out to study.

This was so common in Yuan Chen that no one suspected anything.

That was his character.

Even Yuan Chen’s own father did not know that he had been scolding Madam Yin for giving birth to such a disappointing son. He could not even raise his head in front of his old friends.

It was rare for Madam Yin not to quarrel with Doctor Yuan, and she felt guilty.

In her opinion, it would be best if she was being paranoid. This matter had nothing to do with Yuan Chen at all. It was purely his old habit that acted up again. It really fulfilled the excuse she had thought of for him.

When Yang Shao came to her door, Madam Yin was stunned. Her head was buzzing. She was tied up by a group of soldiers and could not even cry out that she was wronged.

She was too wronged!

When people sat at home, the pot came from the sky.

“Why? Why? Why?” She was still hoping that it was something else and that it had nothing to do with her son getting close to the Prince of Huaiyang.

If it wasn’t for something as big as a rebellion, why would the entire family be arrested?

“Yuan Chen and the Prince of Huaiyang plotted a rebellion. The evidence is conclusive!”Yang Shao shouted,”I’m here by the Emperor’s order to arrest your accomplices!” Take them all away!” The entire residence, including the servants, was thrown into the imperial prison.

Yang Shao was ordered by Emperor Yongping to search for Yuan Chen, but he had long disappeared.

Emperor Yongping was so angry that he threw the white jade paperweight and ordered the various states and counties to arrest Yuan Chen.

As for the Yuan family, they were all executed. It was the autumn season, and they were all executed in less than three days. They were all accomplices.

Outside the market, hundreds of people were gathered to watch the beheading, including the family of the King of Huaiyang and three to four hundred people from the Yuan family. The blood from the beheading alone flowed through the entire street.

Doctor Yuan did not rest in peace until his death. He cursed Yuan Chen, Lady Yin, and the King of Huaiyang. How innocent was he? He didn’t even know a fart!

And the King of Huaiyang was also separated from them by a day, enjoying the punishment of being torn apart by a carriage and being dismembered by five horses.

By the time the case was settled, half a month had passed.

After Lady Yuan’s funeral, Xie Xian supported Lingshu and left Jiankang City. They headed straight for Xiapi’s ancestral grave and entered the ancestral hall.

Logically speaking, Xiao Baoxin should have followed them, but she was pregnant with twins. Ever since Madam Yuan passed away, the entire Xie family had been concerned about her, so they would not allow her to follow them on this long journey.

It was October, and she had been pregnant for more than five months. Her belly was bulging, about the size of a six or seven month old belly.

Xie Xian thought about it and told Mother Xie about Xiao Baoxin’s innate skill.

If he left, it would take at least three months or at most half a year. He might not even be able to come back after the child was born. In the Xie family, the only person he could trust was Mother Xie. Moreover, Mother Xie’s status could protect Xiao Baoxin.

Although Xiao Baoxin was pregnant with twins and there was a reason why she might not be personally involved in Madam Yuan’s death, she did not observe filial piety in front of the coffin. Doing her duty as a daughter-in-law had already attracted criticism.

When he was around, he could still protect her. When he wasn’t around, he would worry about everything.

He was also afraid that Mother Xie would have an opinion of Xiao Baoxin and would not give her all.

Therefore, after discussing with Xiao Baoxin, he told Mother Xie the truth.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to be filial, but she didn’t allow it. She could sense the emotions of others as if they were her own body. When Xie Jiajia was in grief, she couldn’t even enter the mourning hall.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t tried to enter before, but she basically fainted right away.

If it was just her, she would grit her teeth and keep vigil for her mother-in-law. It wasn’t because of the opinions of others, but because she was afraid that this was the last thing she could do for Madam Yuan.

But she couldn’t do it. This was a helpless thing.

Mother Xie’s jaw almost dropped to the ground.

She was also worried that Madam Yuan’s death would agitate Xie Xian so much that his mind was not clear. She patted Xie Xian’s head and almost said that it was time for the child to take his medicine.

Fortunately, Xiao Baoxin quickly verified this point during his conversation with Mother Xie.
