The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous

Chapter 169: Internal strife in the Xie family

Su Tang arrived at Xie's house, and she didn't expect that Xie's house was so lively at night.

The main courtyard was brightly lit.

Ever since Su Tang approached here, she could hear noisy shouting and cursing coming from the main courtyard.

That’s right, the noise is just people arguing.

"This manor should now be occupied by the highest-ranking official in the Xie family..." came a woman's sharp voice.

"Without Prime Minister Xie, have you forgotten how you got your official positions?!" another angry voice was heard.

"Prime Minister Xie? Humph! Hasn't Prime Minister Xie lost his position? The members of the Xie family were also implicated by Xie Wenjing, and all of them were demoted three levels. Why didn't you mention anything about this?

I think, for the sake of the Xie family, you should give up your position as the leader of the Xie family.

Now we still have to rely on those who are still in office to revive...”

"To be fair, my eldest brother has lost his official position, so it's a good time to take a break. My eldest brother is now in the Ministry of Revenue, a position that still has some capabilities. In the future..."

"Yes, Third Brother is right. Big Brother has worked hard for the Xie family for so many years. It's time for him to take a break."

At this time, the main courtyard of Xie's manor was full of people.

Xie Wenjing sat at the head of the room. The two rows of chairs below him were filled with members of the Xie family. There were also many members of the Xie family standing in other places in the room, including those women of the Xie family who had a say.

The door of the house was wide open. Some younger members of the Xie family were standing in the yard, all standing on tiptoe to look into the house.

Xie Wenjing looked at the brothers and cousins gathered around him, listening to their discussions, but he remained silent.

Until everyone seemed to have finished talking, and finally no one spoke anymore, and the whole yard was quiet with only the crackling sound of candles.

"Are you done?" Xie Wenjing glanced at everyone, his sharp gaze made the people around him tremble.

Having held a high position for a long time, Xie Wenjing's prestige in the Xie family has long been ingrained into the bones of the Xie family members.

Before these people came here, they had been mentally preparing themselves for a long time before they finally mustered up the courage.

Seeing that no one in the Xie family spoke, Xie Wenjing snorted. "Humph, you all are so awesome. I didn't expect that you all can't wait to replace me just after I was dismissed."

Everyone that Xie Wenjing glanced at lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"Don't forget, the Queen is still in the palace. My dismissal is just a punishment from His Majesty because he was angry. It won't be long before..." Xie Wenjing didn't finish his words. His face showed an expression of someone who was in control of the situation.

The imperial decree that Empress Xie was trapped in Fengyi Palace was only announced in the palace, and the outside world does not know Empress Xie's current situation.

For a moment, the people in the yard were really unsure.

However, some people still raised doubts, "But after all, the decree has been issued."

In their opinion, there was absolutely no room for maneuver in Xie Xiangqi's matter.

After all, once His Majesty has spoken, how can there be any changes?

"Have you forgotten the Qi family?" At this time, Xie Yuhai, who was standing next to Xie Wenjing, said.

Everyone in the Xie family raised their eyebrows. Could it be that the Xie family could really be revived again?

"The Xie family was directly confiscated and exiled." Xie Yuhai said again.

For a moment, the people in the main courtyard of the Xie family began to discuss in low voices again. "......"

When Su Tang first discovered that the Xie family had gathered in the main courtyard, she obviously did not expect to encounter such a situation.

She entered the space and only listened to two sentences roughly before appearing again.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Su Tang began to grope around the main courtyard.

A house with torches lit and guarded by someone caught Su Tang's attention.

There were two people leaning against the door and chatting. Su Tang listened for a few words and found that they were talking about the excitement in the main courtyard.

Anyone who can talk about this topic here must not be an ordinary servant in the Xie family.

Su Tang threw a handful of sleeping pills in the direction of the two people, and they soon fainted. They were leaning against the door talking just now, and when they were knocked unconscious, they also slowly slid down against the door, so they didn't make any noise.

Su Tang quickly came to the two of them and kicked away the two people who were still leaning against the door.

She then took out the pliers and cut the door lock again.

After opening the door, Su Tang shone the flashlight inside and found that it was indeed the warehouse where the Xie family stored their belongings.

Several large boxes were also filled with gold, silver, jewelry, jade and antiques.

It seems that the Xie family picked out a lot of things and moved them out.

Su Tang waved her hand and in an instant moved all the treasures in the house into her space.

Su Tang smiled with satisfaction, and left without even closing the door.

Su Tang went to a few more places quietly and looted some more things. Although there were not as many things as in the warehouse just now, she still gained a lot.

In the end, Su Tang left quietly again with satisfaction, as if she had never been there.

After returning to Meizhuang, Su Tang quickly changed her clothes and then soaked in the hot spring.

I was sweating all over from the exercise just now, and soaking in the warm water immediately dispelled my physical fatigue.

It’s just that soaking in natural hot springs in ancient times was a bit troublesome. Even if there was someone guarding outside, she still had to enter the water with her clothes on.

The coldness in her body dissipated, and Su Tang came out of the water.

"Master, are you coming out?" Chunmei asked outside the hot spring after hearing the sound of splashing water.

Su Tang was not here just now. When she came back, she pressed down hard so as not to make any noise when she went into the water.

Now that it's soaked, I'm not trying to suppress the sound anymore.

"Okay, I'll change my clothes. You guys wait a moment." There is a small wooden house next to the hot spring, which is specially used for people who take a hot spring bath to change clothes.

The clothes that Su Tang wanted to change had been placed inside in advance. Su Tang went to the wooden house to change her clothes before coming out again.

"Master, the Xie family just came to the outside of the manor, and they were trying to get in in a clamorous manner. They said that something was lost in their manor, and they wanted to search the nearby manors. They were chased out by the manager of Mei Manor." Chunmei put a cloak on Su Tang.

It’s better not to blow dry your hair right after taking a bath.

They had forgotten to take their cloaks, and Xia Mei had just heard what was happening outside the farm when she went back to get them.

"Well, well done. I'll reward everyone in the farm with ten taels of silver later." Su Tang said to Chunmei with a smile.

"Yes." Chunmei was also very happy. The people in this manor were all the Second Prince's people, and several of them knew them.

Su Tang returned to her room accompanied by Chunmei and the others. While lying on the bed, she picked up a book from the small table beside her.

"Master, aren't you going to sleep now?" Chunmei asked Su Tang.

"Well, let me read for a while." Su Tang was in a good mood. She had gained a lot today.

In fact, there was another reason why Su Tang didn't sleep. The Xie family would not let it go after losing such a large amount of treasures.

If they didn't come in to search Meizhuang, they would definitely find a way to get in.

Su Tang wanted to watch the fun before going to sleep.
