Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Dad, quick, tell me if you’re going to help. Although our families cannot compare to those powerful noble families, we do have a place here. If you go out and speak for her, it would definitely be useful.”

Master Tian paused for a long moment before he replied, “My dear daughter, are you good friends with Young Madam Xie?”

“Yes, I am. Dad, why are you asking me this? Quick, tell me if you’re going to help. The rumors have already spread to this state. If we don’t think of ways to hold it down, it would be bad for Bixue. She’s pregnant and cannot afford to take any blows.”

Tian Xiaojuan was truly very worried and did not notice her father’s expression.

Master Tian thought about it before his eyes twinkled. “Xiaojuan, you and Young Master Xie?”

“Why are you caring about Young Master Xie? He’s a good man who adores his wife. If you hurt Bixue, he wouldn’t care who you are! But I cannot let my friend be wronged or harmed.”

“Xiaojuan, you’re a good girl. I didn’t waste my efforts in teaching you!” Like that, Master Tian was able to analyze the pros and cons of it.

Although the Xie family was old, he rather trusted that it was true than to pretend it did not exist. If that was the case, then he shall stand on the correct side and help them this once.

...

Shao Chunrong was also throwing tantrums at home. Old Master Shao felt helpless looking at his once gentle and serious granddaughter, his favorite grandchild, throwing a tantrum.

The Shao family couldn’t afford to offend this person!

But when Old Master Shao asked about how she and Yun Bixue met, Shao Chunrong spilled everything.

After thinking for a long time, he felt that Yun Bixue was not a simple person.

Once she came to the imperial capital, she was provoked by Miss Jiang. Instead of being scared, she even beat Miss Jiang up. In the end, this Miss Jiang and Lu family probably met trouble because of her.

Old Master Shao thought for a long moment before sending out a few shadow guards to gather information. After receiving the news, Old Master Shao made an important life decision. It was time for him to choose his side, and he shall side with what his granddaughter wanted.

Even if he was not on Young Master Xie’s side, with how close his granddaughter was to Yun Bixue, they wouldn’t be able to run away from this relationship.

The rest of the noble families were like this as well. Most of them made a decision after long contemplation.

All of them took action through their personal channels.

So now, despite looking peaceful on the outside, the noble families of the imperial capital were being torn apart. Old Master Jiang took this opportunity and gathered people who were against Young Master Xie and Yun Bixue, while Tian and Qin family gathered people to stand on their side.

It could be said that this was caused by Young Master Xie and Yun Bixue’s previous actions. Now, they didn’t even have to do anything. All the major noble families were already choosing their sides.

Xie Limo obviously oversaw everything clearly. This was all part of a chess game that he was playing. Although it was still too early to end the game, Old Master Jiang’s actions helped push him. It was about time to end it.

“Xie Wu, keep an eye on the Jiang family. When it’s time to end it, show no mercy.”

“Yes, sir!”

“Xie Liu, you’re in charge of drawing up the dynamics of the noble families in the imperial city right now.”

“Yes, sir!”

“Young Master Xie, what about Young Madam?”

“For now, she won’t find out about these. I plan to bring her to Country X, so I’ll leave the things here to you guys. When I come back, silence all traces of the rumors and news.”

“Yes, sir.”

As if recalling something, Xie Limo rubbed between his brows. “Keep a close look on the imperial family as well.”
