Chapter 187: Chapter 187:

Translator: 549690339

The Xie Clan’s Patriarch was the oldest generation in the Xie Clan.

He was the uncle of Xie Shi, the one who had followed Taizu to conquer the country. He had a rather irritable personality, and his official career was naturally not as good as his brother’s. After his brother died, he had no one to protect him. Not long after, he was dismissed from his official position and returned to Xiapi County.

The older generation had either died or disappeared, and he was the only one who naturally became the clan leader. These years, he had been living leisurely and happily.

His children and grandchildren were his children, and as the head of the clan, his words were absolute. It was no wonder that when he had the opportunity to be recommended, he did not refuse.

He was almost 60 years old now, with white hair and a wrinkled face. He wasn’t tall, but his triangular eyes were shining brightly, showing that he was full of energy.

Xie Xian looked at this posture and felt that he had to live longer than him. His entire body was filled with a sense of calmness.

With Patriarch Xie as the leader, the two rows of embroidered tables in the room were filled with people. Other than Xie Xian’s elders, there were only elders. There were only one or two people of the same generation, and they were all the direct grandchildren of the Xie Clan Leader.

Chancellor Xie and the two seated in front of the lower seats, just by looking at their faces, Xie Xian knew what the reason for today’s extravagance was.

Sure enough, the Xie Clan Leader had made it clear at the beginning, representing the Xie Clan to oppose this marriage with the Xiao Clan. It was straightforward, neat, and decisive, saving a lot of saliva.

“The marriage has already been decided. There is no possibility of going back on it.” The Xie family has always been honest and upright. 1 believe that granduncle doesn’t want the Xie family to embarrass themselves.”

Why don’t you just cut the crap? No way.

It wasn’t that the Xie Clan Leader had never seen Xie Xian before. He was a modest gentleman, a child as gentle as jade. He never said no when he spoke to him. Today, she had actually retorted him with just one sentence. This blow was a little big. Was she obsessed with lust?

He had heard that although Lady Xiao had a bad reputation and a low family status, she was a rare beauty.

“Xuanhui, how can you talk to your granduncle like that?”Patriarch Xie hadn’t even come back to his senses when Chancellor Xie reprimanded him first. If one had to say who was most against this marriage with the Xiao family, it would be him. It was not easy for him to get the position of chancellor, a noble and noble official. He did not want to lose this bit of face.

“Third Uncle is wrong. I’m not contradicting you, but I’m telling you the truth.”Xie Xian unhurriedly gathered his cloak. The wind in the ancestral hall was a little strong, and the doors and windows were not tight.

” Sikong Xiao is a high-ranking official, and Xiao Zhongcheng is in charge of supervising the officials.”! don’t understand why the Xiao family isn’t worthy of the Xie family.”

Chief Xie snorted.” No matter how glorious they are, it’s only a matter of a dozen years. We’re a clan that has been around for a hundred years. How can we marry into a Humble Class?” Xuanhui, if you like color, after you find a noble daughter of an aristocratic family to marry, you can pick a few beautiful concubines. You can’t lower your status.”

“You can afford to lose face, but the Xie clan can’t.”

Xie Xian smiled.” The ancestors of the Xie family were just generals in charge of agriculture in Chang ‘an a hundred years ago. Their official positions weren’t high either. After several generations of hard work, the Xie family slowly rose to a higher status. Who knew what the Xie Clan did for a living and where they came from? Granduncle, the Xie family has been passed down for a hundred years. What they have taught us is not just family status.”

It was enough for him to be low-key and humble usually. At least, when it came to the marriage with the Xiao family, he could not tolerate it and could only be tough.

Hard.

“You even demoted your ancestors for a woman! “The Xie Clan Leader was so angry that he slapped the table. A skinny and small old man actually had such great strength. Xie Xian suspected that if they were not too far away, he would have jumped up and beaten him up.

“You also said that the Xie family had gone through many hardships before they managed to retain the Hundred Clans! If your surname is still Xie, you can’t lower your status to marry into a lesser family!”

“Yes, there are plenty of fish in the sea.”

“.. Xuan Hui, your words are too much.”

“Everyone knows that marriage is out of line. It’s not just our Xie family that relies on marriage to maintain the status of an aristocratic family.”

“We know that you’re currently favored and are a regular third-grade servant, but the clan leader is your granduncle after all. You can’t be so domineering with the clan leader and the clan members!”

.. For a time, the voices of denouncement shook the sky, making Xie Xian’s head hurt.

“Alright, since the clan has the same intention, it’s settled. When we return to Jiankang, I’ll go back with you. I’ll personally go to the Xiao family to break off the engagement!”Ancestor Xie made the decision, still fuming. “Sister-in-law is old and muddled. This is a big matter for our Xie family. We can’t let her do as she pleases!”

She had rejected Mother Xie from the very beginning.

In the end, she was an outsider. The real Xie family member was him!

Xie Xian slowly stood up. Without waiting for the heat wave to subside, he opened his mouth to speak. It was unknown whether he was the focus of everyone and everyone wanted to hear his attitude, but they had never seen anyone who dared to go against the Xie Clan Leader in such a situation. The room was deathly silent, and only Xie Xian’s voice could be heard.

“.. He didn’t know which clan rule forbade him from marrying into a commoner family.”He said,”If there is, I will willingly be expelled from the Xie clan.” Or perhaps, if Granduncle and the other uncles want to add this condition at the last minute, I have no complaints.”

“I will not withdraw my marriage with the Xiao family. That’s it.”

After he finished speaking, he bowed to the Xie Clan Leader and the elders on both sides. Then, he lifted his cloak and walked out of the ancestral hall steadily.

After a long time, the ancestral hall was in an uproar. Patriarch Xie had even flipped a few cases and was almost out of breath.

“His father didn’t dare to speak to me like this even when he was alive!”

Third Master Xie and Second Master Xie looked at each other. No one had expected Xie Xian to do such a thing, catching everyone off guard. When Shi Zhong Xie was alive, he was a man of his word, but when facing this Xie Clan Leader, he had to rely on his seniority to be harmonious.

Xie Xian was even tougher than his father. They seemed to have misjudged him.

###

Xie Xian’s words shocked the entire clan. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could catch up and spit on him.

However, that was vulgar behavior and was not desirable.

Everyone really didn’t know how to turn over the clan rules, but there wasn’t a rule that forbade one from marrying into a poor family. These were the rules of the aristocratic families. They were the political means to consolidate the status of the family and monopolize culture and wealth. Who could write these into the family rules?

Just because of this, Xie Xian should be expelled from the Xie clan. This Xie Xian was also an outstanding person of the younger generation. At a young age, he had become a casual rider’s constant attendant. His future was promising, and his future was limitless.

Even if they were to ruthlessly chase him out of the clan, there had to be a reason. They couldn’t let their temperaments mess around. If word got out, it would become a joke to others.

Patriarch Xie suppressed his anger for a long time and brought his son to look for Mother Xie.

Madam Xie didn’t even listen to him finish.” Little Uncle said that I’m someone with a different surname in front of the clan. Why do you have to come and talk to me about this now?” Since you think that I have no right to interfere in your family’s affairs, why do you think so now?”

Mother Xie’s face was as dark as water.

“I have been married to the Xie family for more than forty years, but your brother has never spoken like that. Xie Laosi, you’re really something.. You’re bullying me, a widowed sister-in-law, and you’re using the identity of the clan leader to suppress me!”
