The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Chapter 560 Direct Bloodline

"Young Master already knows what you've been doing behind the scenes. Speak."

Yun Yici suppressed her disgust and continued to deceive him.

The Xie family valued both legitimate and illegitimate children, yet they ended up with an illegitimate eldest son.

It's not difficult to find out Xie Sanshen's background if you inquire carefully.

His mother was also a member of the Xie family, and she and Xie Yuanchen were childhood sweethearts, having been engaged early on.

Little did Xie Yuanchen know that before he could hold his Daoist couple ceremony, his elder brother died young, leaving behind a widowed sister-in-law and a niece who was only two or three years old.

The heads of the five major families only consider bloodline and not gender, so Xie Yuanchen's niece should logically be the head of the family.

However, with her young child and the widowed Madam Xie's own life in ruins, she was powerless to support her daughter's ascension to the throne.

Thus, Xie Yuanchen, this "good second uncle," became the new head of the Xie family.

Yun Yici was unclear whether Xie Yuanchen had made any promises when he took over.

However, the fact that Xie Yuanchen is still in power shows that once he took over the position of head of the family, he had no intention of handing it over to someone else.

Xie Sanshen's mother was blinded by the sudden opportunity to become the head of the family's wife.

She is a woman who is both clever and not clever.

She knew her beloved's character well, and knew that Xie Yuanchen was different from her deceased elder brother; he was not a sentimental person.

Although they were not officially husband and wife, they reluctantly agreed to be husband and wife in practice early on.

Knowing that Xie Yuanchen intended to marry another noblewoman from a different family to solidify his position after ascending to a high position, she still insisted on giving birth to her unborn child in an attempt to establish a formal status for both mother and child.

However, her resistance was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and could not shake Xie Yuanchen's ambition for fame and fortune in the slightest.

Xie Yuanchen still married the Li family's daughter, and she could only resign herself to the position of concubine with resentment.

Xie Sanshen.

Xie Yuanchen's warning to the mother and son was clear: be careful with your words, actions, and small details.

Yun Yici was not entirely convinced that Xie Sanshen had no ambition for the position of family head in private, so she decided to test him and try to find another way to break through.

Xie Sanshen was in tears. Upon hearing Yun Yici's threats, his crying stopped and he immediately showed a look of lingering fear.

Xie Sanjue found out about their scheme!

He had said long ago that he didn't care if he didn't become the head of the family!

But Mother always says that this young master was originally his.

He's so foolish; he actually had other ideas.

As long as one can continue to squander money, enjoy pleasure, and play with women, what difference does it make whether the father or the younger brother ascends the throne?

Now his life is in danger.

Given his father's favoritism towards his younger brother, it's likely that if he really dies here, Xie Chunqiu will be used as a scapegoat.

Even as death loomed, Xie Sanshen couldn't help but feel resentment towards his own mother.

She doesn't have the ability to tie down a man and become the mistress of the family, all she knows is to force him to seize the position of young master!

Xie Sanshen pleaded, "It wasn't me, it really wasn't me. I never intended to compete for the position of young master."

"Yes...it was my mother and grandfather who said it!"

“They say the position of young master was originally mine. Back then, back then... Father was able to become the head of the family entirely because of my grandfather.”

"Who would have thought that my father would turn his back on us once he became the head of the family?"

"Please let me go. I promise I'll persuade my mother and the others to stop when I get back!"

Yun Yici said, "So that's how it is. It seems that the previous head of the Xie family died because of your grandfather's scheme."

Xie Sanshen felt a chill run down his spine, but his rationality compelled him to retort loudly: "Who doesn't know that no one in the family can awaken their talent right now? We're all equally incompetent!"

"The position of head of the family should rightfully belong to the capable!"

Seeing that she could get no more information, Rong Xuan's puppet threads began to stir.

Half an hour later, Rong Xuan and Yun Yici finished dealing with Xie Sanshen and the ten guards. They remained standing under the eaves, listening to the decadent music playing inside the room, without changing their positions at all.

A long dream unfolded silently, and the people of Forget-Worry City were momentarily dazed before quickly returning to their livelihoods, completely unaware of the invisible massacre.

With the hidden danger eliminated, Shen Huaichuan and the Emperor Zhao walked out of the backyard.

Di Zhao glanced in the direction of the house and snorted coldly, "He got off easy."

Yun Yici pondered for a moment: "The most important thing now is to figure out where the light core is and get our hands on the last one."

"Perhaps we should make a trip to the Xie family."

She wanted to support Xie Guanxuan.

Shen Huaichuan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "Wait a minute, I received a message that Xie Qianjue said he will arrive soon."

"With him around, our path will be much easier."

Shen Huaichuan's expression darkened. How could this not be considered retribution?

The Xie family's most desired and only remaining direct descendant came from across three regions, but stood on the opposite side of the family.

Yun Yici was both surprised and somewhat worried: "Why did Senior Brother Xie come here?"

She deliberately left Xie Qianjue in Huangling Domain on this trip because she was worried about the influence of the Xie family on Xie Qianjue.

Shen Huaichuan said calmly, "I know you want to protect him, but he feels the same way you do."

Upon hearing that they were hampered in the Tianling Domain, Xie Qianjue secretly set off without telling anyone.

They only sent the message when they were almost there.

He said that he had come to repay the evil deeds his ancestors had committed against the Lingwei Sect.
