๐ Yet he can't tell how evil his illegitimate sons are
Xie Ding shook his head. "As soon as you said that, I knew what you were up to. Since you wanted to help Shen Xin, I didn't mind giving a hand. However, I'm just doing this for you." Xie Ding was an old fox who had been in the imperial court for many decades. Compared to Shen Xin who only knew how to fight wars, Xie Ding was better at dealing with the interests of the imperial court. He could tell that Su Yu was trying to help Shen Xin out by impeaching him, so he offered help.

๐ Yeah, he's a weak man who wants his cake and to eat it too.
Hate? What did Xie Jingxing hate? Did he hate his father for taking in Concubine Fang? Did he hate his father for causing his mother to die and making the mansion he once called home an unbearable place to stay? Xie Ding was in the wrong in the first place, but he still acted like he was a good husband, swearing that he would never marry anyone. If he loved his wife that much, why did he not execute Concubine Fang? The only thing he ever did was doting on Xie Jingxing in every way and tried to atone for his sins.

๐ If you're really so concerned about him hating you, why do you keep rubbing your illegitimate sons in his face?!
"Jingxing." Xie Ding suddenly said tiredly, "After so many years, do you still hate me so much? You hate me so much that you don't hesitate to put your life at risk just to stay away from me."

๐ He brings these other two sons along while he yells at him. He clearly knows he hates them
Xie Ding was further infuriated by that attitude. On the other hand, Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao, who were following behind Xie Ding, looked angry when they heard this. However, looking at them carefully, their eyes seemed to be gloating. Xie Changchao said, "Brother, Father likes you the most among us three. How can you speak to Father like that? Don't you have any respect for him?"

Why was she reading about the Su family's case when they would have been long dead when she became empress?
Back then, Shen Miao was still the empress, and she had read the file on Earl of Pingnan's crimes carefully, so she knew where the veterinarian lived. In fact, even if Shen Miao didn't come to look for Su Mingfeng today, before long, when the horse plague spread, Su Yu would still be able to find the veterinarian and curb the outbreak.

๐คจ Why did they smuggle war horses in the first place?
In her previous life, the entire Su family was killed because of smuggling war horses. The royal family could no longer tolerate an old family like the Earl of Pingnan, so in addition to the evidence of smuggling war horses, they also found other things to accuse them of. At the beginning of the 69th year of Ming Qi, the war horses managed by the Earl of Pingnan fell ill and even caused a horse plaque to break out. Later, the Earl of Pingnan found a veterinarian from the countryside to curb the epidemic. Other than the Su family's trusted aides, no one knew about this. Later, the Earl of Pingnan was executed, and this matter was exposed.

๐ How frivolous do ypthey think their daughter is?
Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin also comforted Shen Miao. "Jiaojiao, stay in the mansion and don't go anywhere. When Father and Mother come back, we'll go to shop for new clothes together."

๐โโ๏ธNot really. They both have big plans and want to use the other's family for them. She also wants his family as a shield.
Shen Miao originally wanted to save the Xie family for the future to deal with the royal family. Would the fate of some people still follow the trajectory of the past? Was the arrogant young man with red lips, white teeth, and beautiful eyes really going to walk towards his demise?

"When I came out of the palace, I saw you, so I came over to say hi." Xie Jingxing said casually, "Did the emperor summon your father to the palace?"
History ยท Mountain Guest
๐ You should be. Your mother is useless in a non-physical fight.
Shen Miao was a little nervous.
History ยท Mountain Guest
๐ How exactly? By attacking the palace? Cause that would go real well! ๐๐๐๐
"I'll go to the Ministry of War." Shen Xin turned around. "Stay in the mansion. If anything happens, we will go to save them."

๐คจ Then why did her maids freak out so much?
It was not uncommon for women to dress up as men. In Ming Qi, for the sake of convenience, many young ladies would occasionally wear men's clothes when they went out to do things.
History ยท Mountain Guest
๐คจ Is there really that big of a difference between men's and women's robes?
Jingzhe and Gu Yu were not used to wearing men's clothes. They looked like they were in pain, but Shen Miao was very calm, which surprised Mo Qing. However, little did they know that when Shen Miao was a hostage in the State of Qin, she was teased by the royal family and was asked to dress up as a man for a few months. Now she felt quite comfortable in man's clothes.

๐ Yeah. You're all deadbeats that are holding him back
A trace of gloom flashed across Shen Wan's eyes. "After splitting up, with Eldest Brother's military strength and reputation, he will only get better and better. In the end, he will be stronger than us."

"Other than Seventh Brother, Second Madam has nothing else now. Fifth Sister probably used Seventh Brother to provoke Second Madam. Mother, you have to work hard to give birth to a son for Father. As long as you have a son, you will have more say. No one will dare to look down on you."

๐ How was that not obvious when they were making a scene at the tea room when they "discovered" them? Even all the witnesses realised that! The first branch is really naive ๐
Luo Xueyan was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She suddenly pulled out the sword from her waist and placed it in front of Jing Guansheng's neck.

๐ You'll did the same to your sister, so you can't act surprised
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Miao. Words could kill and destroy a person's hope. What Shen Miao did now was to dismantle his hope to live. When he was in prison, no one even came to visit him. It was heartbreaking for Shen Yuan. Although Old Madam used to treat him well, it was only because he was talented and smart. Now that he was a prisoner, Old Madam Shen would definitely quickly draw a line between them to avoid getting into trouble.

๐ Too bad if Yuanbai turns out to be useless! He does spend all his time with Old Madam Shen! ๐
"Second Uncle would definitely do his best to save Second Brother if he didn't have Shen Yuanbai." Shen Miao said, "But with Shen Yuanbai around, Second Uncle still has a successor. Losing a son to appease the anger of the Sun family is worth it in Second Uncle's eyes."

She actually thinks Shen Yuan would go for that? She is so dumb!
"That's where you can come in to help." Jing Chuchu looked at Tao Yuan and said as if she was pitying her, "You've been by my side for the past few years. I think you're loyal and pretty. If that day really comes, I'll get him to take you in. Help me win him over to express your gratitude." She smiled in satisfaction. "Not everyone is lucky enough to change their fate from a maid to a concubine of a rich family."
History ยท Mountain Guest
๐ Yeah, cause him winning battles is because his father was biased. I'd like to see your worthless sons go to war! ๐ก
However, Old Madam Shen probably did not care. In her heart, the two people she gave birth to, Shen Gui and Shen Wan, were countless times better than Shen Xin. If not for the fact that the old general was biased back then, Shen Xin would not be where he was today. She would take this opportunity to expel Shen Xin from the Shen family.
