Xie Yunhuai hated the surname Xie. He hated Xie Ji and also hated the members of the Xie clan who were only interested in profit.
If there had been someone who stood up and spoke a fair word for his biological mother, his mother would not have died in such an unclear way.
It was only Xie Ji who brought them benefits back then, and they didn't care about the life and death of Xie Yunhuai and her son at all.
But they didn't know that just ten years later, they would have to ask Xie Yunhuai for help again for benefits.
However, Shen Xihe was wrong after all.
Ten days later, Xie Yunhuai returned to his ancestral home.
"What did you say?" Shen Xihe suspected that she had heard it wrong, and she looked at Tian Yuan.
"Your Highness, Doctor Qi... Master Xie has returned home." Tian Yuan replied, "Today Duke Xie submitted a memorial to confer the title of Crown Prince."
"How could that be?" He clearly hated the surname Xie, so why would he come back and take the surname Xie
"Master Xie made three requests, and Duke Xie fulfilled them all under the coercion of the Xie clan members. Master Xie then agreed to come back, and his name has been included in the family tree."
"Three requests?" Shen Xihe asked.
"It has not been announced to the public and no one knows about it." Tian Yuan didn't find out either.
Only a few heads of the Xie family were present, and the younger generation also knew the three requirements.
Shen Xihe was not in a good mood. She was confused by Xie Yunhuai's return. Based on her understanding of Xie Yunhuai, Xie Yunhuai should not compromise for any reason and become a member of the Xie family.
Xie Yunhuai really returned to the Xie family. On November 20th, His Majesty summoned Xie Yunhuai, and the next day Xie Yunhuai was conferred the title of the Heir of the Duke of Xie.
At the end of November, Duke Xie accidentally fell and was said to be paralyzed. Xie Yunhuai became Duke Xie on the first day of December.
Just one month after his return, he had taken control of the entire Xie Group. Or it could be said that the Xie Group had been in his hands for a long time, but the situation only surfaced today.
He went to the palace to express his gratitude, and the empress dowager also summoned him. Since he had arrived in the harem, Shen Xihe also followed the empress dowager's summons and sent someone to prepare a gift as a way of congratulating him.
Shen Xihe sat in the warm room, and through the slightly opened window, he looked at him from afar, his wide sleeves fluttering in the wind as he walked steadily towards him.
It reminded her of that year in Majiazhuang, when he suddenly appeared in a plain robe, with long black hair, his elegance could not be concealed.
Today he is wearing a brocade robe, jade belt, a golden crown to tie his hair, and a white fur coat. He is less carefree than he used to be, but more dignified.
He paused for a moment at the door, as if trying to dispel the coldness from his body, then he took off his white fur coat and stepped inside.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." He saluted solemnly, modestly and politely.
"No need to be polite." Shen Xihe said in a calm voice.
Xie Yunhuai stood up and stood with his eyes lowered.
For a moment, one seemed to be quietly waiting for instructions, and the other seemed to be in another world. The warm room was quiet for a moment.
"Ruogu, why did you come back?" Shen Xihe asked the question in his mind.
"Be loyal to the person who trusts you," Xie Yunhuai replied.
Shen Xihe stared at him, it turned out to be...
"You shouldn't have come back." Shen Xihe felt a little apologetic and regretful.
This is a quagmire, a prison. She envied Qi Yunhuai who once traveled around the world.
"Your Highness, I have lived a carefree life for half my life and have traveled thousands of miles. I am a little tired." Xie Yunhuai showed a calm smile.
Shen Xihe looked at him quietly. He remained calm and let her look at him.
