Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Things Are Still the Same, but People Have Changed

Xie Xian was the youngest of the three, but no one would ignore his words.
...One was that he was the highest official, a twenty-year-old third-grade casual rider’s constant attendant; Secondly, Xie Xian was born into an aristocratic family and had an extraordinary aura. If one were to be with him, one would often forget about age.
Pan Shuo had never been a top-notch person. He had been by the Emperor’s side and was used to seeing Xie Xian give pointers to the country. He was deeply trusted by the Emperor. He could not think of a word to say to such a person. He was completely convinced by Xie Xian. A word from him was faster than an imperial edict. As for Yang Shao, after all, he was born there and was a sensible person. He was also someone who joined later, so Xie Xian was faintly the leader among the three.
“Oh, I might have drunk too much.” Pan Shuo covered his head and laughed dryly.” Forget it. Let’s not talk about Lady Xiao. I’m not good at keeping my mouth shut when I drink too much.” However, if Brother Yang really wants to marry, then you should find a matchmaker to personally come. It would be best if the Xiao family agreed, but if they didn’t…Then let’s talk about it again.”
According to his thoughts, the Xiao family still had something to disagree with?
Xiao Yun was indeed a high-ranking official, but she couldn’t stand the fact that Lady Xiao’s reputation had been ruined these few times. She couldn’t even think of getting involved with the aristocratic families. She had been beaten up all at once. Who would dare to marry such a wife?
Moreover, there was also the matter of Yuan Chen. Whether or not there was anything between him and Yang Shao had been spread all over the place. Who was looking for trouble for their own family?
However, Xie Xian obviously didn’t like what he said just now. He didn’t know where he had lost his manners, so Pan Shuo simply shut his mouth. He wasn’t so obedient even in front of the Emperor.
He had no choice. It wasn’t easy to make such a good-looking and smart person who was willing to be friends with him. He couldn’t let himself mess things up.
Xie Xian didn’t say anything else. Instead, he raised his wine cup and drank with him.”Let’s eat wine.”
“Alright, I won’t go home until I’m drunk today!” Pan Shuo immediately beamed with joy. “Jing Yun, come on. If you succeed in this, you’ll be promoted, rich, and married!”
Yang Shao was still nervous, but he immediately put it down and started drinking.
The wine was drunk until it was dark. Yang Shao stayed in the Pan residence for the night. Xie Xian declined Pan Shuo’s kindness and staggered onto his ox cart.
Qing Feng and Ming Yue had served Xie Xian since young, and this was the first time they had seen him like this.
Although he wasn’t drunk, he was already showing signs of drunkenness. Just this alone was enough to shock everyone.
After Xie Xian returned to the residence, he went to the bed to rest. Ming Yue walked out of the door hesitantly as if her feet weighed a thousand pounds. Was this because of Eldest Lady Xiao? Right?
“Qingfcng, do you want to persuade Master Lang?”
This was because he had learned his lesson after being punished by Lord Lang last time and knew to find people to be cannon fodder. “Master Lang can see farther than you and me. He will make his own decisions. You and I don’t have to be self-righteous.”
“But…” I saw through it, didn’t I?”
“Don’t disturb Master Lang’s rest.” Qing Feng pulled him out.”
“You said that Master Lang obviously likes Lady Xiao, right?”After Ming Yue finished speaking, she was a little uncertain.” Why don’t you make the first move? Look at how aggrieved he is.”
Qing Feng was older than Ming Yue by two years and had been by Xie Xian’s side for a longer time. He knew far more than Ming Yue.
At least, he knew that Master Lang had fallen in love with Lady Xiao at first sight and had once mentioned to the old Master Lang that he wanted to propose marriage to the Xiao family. To the Xie Clan, which was still high and mighty in the past and the head of the aristocratic families, this was no different from shocking thunder.
It was inappropriate to marry an official. Nobles were unwilling to take on an official position that did not match their status, and they were even more unwilling to marry a family that was lower than them, not to mention that they were from a poor family. It was not that there were no people who were dismissed because of marriage with a poor family. Therefore, it was reasonable for the old master to refuse.
After only half a month, the old master fell ill and was bedridden. Three months later, he passed away. During the mourning period, the old master almost died of a serious illness. Later, when he became an official, everything had changed.
Lord Lang’s forbearance and not moving was probably related to his own body.
Madam several times want to talk to Lang Lord, Lang Lord said that the body is not good, do not want to delay other people’s girls. Every time he said it, his wife’s tears would fall, and his mood would be low. After that, Madam never mentioned it again. Otherwise, which Langjun would not be married at the age of 20?
“Master Lang’s matter is not something you and I can discuss.”
“Aren’t I just feeling sorry for our Lord? When have you ever seen Master Lang drink so much that he can’t even walk steadily…”
The wind and moon went further and further away, and the sound was gradually drowned out in the night. Xie Xian, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes. He did not look drunk at all.

Both sides had kept the peace and did not escalate the situation, but they could not resist the many eyes and ears in Jiankang City. The next day, Xiao Yu received the news and was so angry that she blew her beard and glared.
Xiao Baoxin was his biological niece. She couldn’t be compared to his daughter, but she was still his flesh and blood. A good little lady had been splashed with dirty water and had yet to be washed away. This group of aristocratic young masters still poured basin after basin. How was it convenient?
It was clearly his nephew who disdained the Yuan family’s character. It was their Xiao family who took the initiative to break off the engagement!
In the end, in the mouths of those people, the one at fault was still the Xiao family. No matter how great the Yuan family was, they would not be in the wrong. Even if they made a mistake, it would be the same mistake that they would make. No one would bear the blame, and only they, who were born into the Humble Class, would bear the blame?
What logic?
The Xiao brothers had started from scratch and couldn’t even wear a pair of pants to their current positions. Was it easy for them to get rid of them?
As the Imperial Censor, Xiao Yu couldn’t hold it in any longer. On the same day, he went to court and reported the young masters of the aristocratic families led by Xi Jiu.
Xi Jiu’s grandfather was one of the nine ministers and was in charge of the world’s criminal prison. He was already in his sixties and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s. He quit at that time. Your daughter couldn’t manage herself well. She ran out all day. If she wasn’t fighting, she would capture women. She was eccentric and didn’t allow others to talk behind her back?
Besides, this is a private place, and it’s not like you’re blocking the streets to tell others about your wife’s great achievements.
Since when did the Daliang Dynasty forbid people from speaking?
The scope of the attack was so wide that even the laws of the imperial court were included.
“Censor Xiao is the supervisor of all officials, not a small piece of land in the supervisor’s residcnce.”Chief Xi said.
Grand Servant Zhong Lu said,””Putting a child’s fight in the court is clearly disregarding the court and the emperor’s authority. The Imperial Court is a place to discuss the country’s military and political affairs, as well as the people’s livelihood. You’re using it to resolve your personal grudges. Isn’t this child’s play?”
A censor was a thankless job. If you offended someone, you should do it well. If you didn’t do it well, people would curse you. The great clans didn’t like to do it, so it was in the hands of the Shu clan.
In just two or three years, they would have to change. If they were not impeached, they would be retaliated against. If they were impeached, they would be removed from office. Very few of them could last long.
Xiao Yu had only been in office for half a year, and he had offended many people. Many people in the court looked down on him.
The eldest son of the Grand Servant Minister had taken over as a servant after Xie Xianfu’s death. In the end, he was not put in an important position by Emperor Yuheng and went out to play with the mountains and rivers on the pretext of illness. He was impeached by the newly appointed Imperial Censor, resulting in his dismissal.
From then on, whatever Xiao Yu supported was opposed by Zhong Lu, and whatever Xiao Yu opposed was supported by Zhong Lu..
