Chapter 503: Madam, do you only have one son?
Jiang An: "Master Xie, do you have something to say?"
The little girl looked as if she was respecting the old man, but she waved her hand to signal her subordinates to do their work.
The people who originally filled the yard were so blatantly breaking into the inner house...
When Old Master Xie saw this, he felt a darkness before his eyes.
He sat down helplessly and questioned Jiang An, "Are you here to confiscate the property or to announce the imperial decree?"
"I have to go see His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty has no time to deal with you~"
Now, there were only Old Master Xie and a servant beside him in the front hall, and the girl was too lazy to even pretend.
She said murderously, "Your Majesty is currently with the Queen Mother and the Empress, discussing reducing expenses in the palace..."
"This matter is important. His Majesty has ordered that no one should disturb it. Anyone who violates this order will be beheaded in front of the palace!"
Therefore, the people they sent out were destined to not be able to bring back reinforcements.
As for the Fourth Prince...
This fellow had no time to hide, and he didn't even return to his own palace right after the morning court session. He went straight to the Huguo Temple, under the pretext of praying for the people in the south on behalf of His Majesty.
Seeing the stagnant expression on Old Master Xie's face, Jiang An pretended to be concerned, "Why... Old Master Xie regrets it?"
"Are you worried about your half of your wealth?"
"It's okay~"
She said generously: "Money is something outside of one's body, but without money how can one walk in the world? This is human nature!"
"If the old man really feels regretful, this county lady will immediately go outside and tell the people that the Xie family will not donate anymore!"
"Old Master Xie has a good reputation. I think the people can understand that~"
Do you understand?
That group of fools will only break his spine, and if there are people with ulterior motives fanning the flames behind the scenes, it is possible that they will even demolish his mansion!
"Old man... Old man..."
Master Xie: Half of my family’s wealth!
My flesh hurts!
"Of course I am willing to give it up!"
My heart is broken!!
"Tafu is righteous!"
Jiang An stood up and saluted in a pretentious manner, but the smile in his eyes could not be hidden.
"True words!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Go tell the brothers outside to beat the gong louder, and tell them to move faster, so as not to disturb our Master Xie's peace."
"Oh... That's right~"
Jiang An slapped his head and said suddenly: "This county lady almost forgot about the other branches of the Xie family~"
With a "bang", Old Master Xie stood up and stared at Jiang An as if he wanted to tear his life apart!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't go too far, County Lord!"
"Ah…"
The little girl restrained her fake smile, her brows were full of ferocity, and her tone was so cold that it was just a drop of dregs. "Didn't Prime Minister Xie say in the court earlier that the Xie family would donate half of their wealth?"
"Since he is talking about the Xie family, how can the other branches of the Xie family just stand by and watch!"
In front of Master Xie, the little girl moved her fingers slightly, urging Zheng Yan, "Why don't you go quickly?"
"Yes!"
Old Master Xie pretended to order someone to stop Zhengyan.
If the other branches of the Xie family lost half of their wealth because of them, they would definitely turn against them!
By then, his Xie family will be at a disadvantage!
"Old Master Xie, you should be more careful when doing things..."
"This is your Majesty's grace. I rejected your Majesty's grace..."
Jiang An sneered, full of arrogance, "When the emperor is angry, there will be rivers of blood."
The two of them looked at each other in a silent confrontation.
One is shrewd and calculating, the other is arrogant and unruly...
It can also be said another way: one is old and at the twilight of life; the other is full of life and is a child of destiny!
In the end, the Xie family lost this battle.
Although Jiang An couldn't see or take away the Xie family's hidden wealth, the wealth displayed in the open warehouse, recorded in the gatehouse account book, and displayed in various courtyards of the mansion...
Jiang An even ripped off half of the set of top-quality pearwood chairs in the front hall.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a locust invasion!
The boxes were placed all the way from the front door to the end of the street, but they were still not finished.
The people, who were originally grateful to the prime minister and his family for their service to the country and the people, gradually became silent.
The wind has changed...
Some people began to question why the Prime Minister's Mansion, which has always prided itself on being a clean and honest place, had so much wealth?
Is he really a clear stream?
They listened carefully to every item, and the county lady did not touch any of the dowries of the women or the things given by the emperor.
How they carried it out and how they carried it back home.
After today, Old Master Xie’s reputation may not be that useful in Nanshang…
Jin Wei and others had not yet evacuated the Prime Minister's Mansion when the Xie family's side branch sent people to cause trouble.
It turned out that Jin Wei had already moved away half of the wealth in each mansion~
The people from the side branches of the Xie family saw that all the things that originally belonged to them had entered the palace!
There wasn't even a chair to sit on in the front hall. A few old guys with white beards were standing and arguing, and the argument was very intense.
At this moment, Jiang An was concerned about the Xie family's reputation and had the door of the mansion closed.
Finally, Old Master Xie couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed amid the quarrel.
"Ouch!"
Before the Xie family could say anything, Jiang An, who was watching the show, had an exaggerated expression.
She hid the uneaten fruit in her hand and said, "Go to the palace and ask for the imperial physician. Old Master Xie fainted because he was worried about state affairs."
Xie family: Ah?
Everyone's eyes fell on the little girl.
Jiang An grinned and waved his hand, "Don't mind me, keep arguing~keep arguing~"
Xie family: What are you still arguing about? The real target has fainted!
"I have done what His Majesty ordered, so I won't stay for dinner."
Nianniang stood behind the little girl with a wooden face.
At this moment, she had to say that her young lady had a good attitude and a good face.
Leaving the Xie family members standing there in a daze, Jiang An walked out of the house leisurely.
"County Lady, please stay!"
The little girl looked back when she heard the voice and found it was the Prime Minister's wife who had not appeared all this time.
She wanted to step forward and grab Jiang An's hand, but the little girl dodged it easily.
The little girl narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a bad tone, "Madam, this is not the behavior of a mistress."
In Jiang An's mind, no one in this house is good, so she naturally hates these people approaching her.
"Don't blame me, County Lord..."
The Prime Minister's wife's eyes were red and she was about to kneel down to Jiang An.
"I just want to know if Huaiqing is okay? When can he return home?"
She burst into tears, "I have no power to interfere in men's affairs. I just want to know my son's safety!"
"I hope the county lady can understand me as a mother..."
Jiang An grabbed her, exerting considerable strength on his hands, and lifted her up to stand.
Motherhood...
The little girl was silent, just staring at the Prime Minister's wife with her dark eyes.
"This county lady doesn't know where the Huai Qing you mentioned is..."
"You're asking the wrong person."
She turned to leave, but suddenly stopped.
Jiang An shouldn't have said too much...
But she really couldn't help it.
The little girl turned and looked at the Prime Minister's wife who was in a state of dismay. "Madam, you have said so much, why don't you ask how Xie Yunshan is doing?"
Xie Huaiqing had only been in the North for two years, but Xie Yunshan had actually stayed in the North for more than ten years.
The teenager has grown into a real general.
"Madam, do you have only one son?"
