Chapter 502: Not Even a Scratch

Xuanyuan Chen didn't say anything.

He knew Xie Jin was right. If it weren't for those masters protecting her, his mother wouldn't have been able to live so smoothly these days, and her body wouldn't have recovered so quickly.

As for him, he couldn't concentrate on his work without any worries.

He was just using Xie Jin's people, and he always felt that he owed him a favor, and he didn't know how to repay him in the future.

"If you feel that you owe me, just be loyal to the Queen and the Regent in the future. I don't care so much." Xie Jin said in a light tone, "I helped you in accordance with the will of the Regent, not just for you. Even if you really want to thank, just thank Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent."

Xuanyuan Chen hummed: "I will repay the kindness of His Majesty and the Regent."

Xie Jin didn't say anything more to him. He took the carriage back to Xie's house and called his personal subordinates: "Go prepare some fresh and chilled fruits and send them to the Western Suburbs Military Camp to the chief general of the Black Obsidian Army, Prince Yao."

"Yes."

The subordinates took the order and left.

Xie Jin sat on a brocade couch covered with a cool mat, leaning back, looking out the window nonchalantly, thinking about the guy's reaction after receiving the fruit, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.

Well, military commanders are really hard-working.

Especially Yao Baobao, who was ordered to take a special mission and must build an elite army in two years, I'm afraid he will have to stay in the barracks for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Xie Jin couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

"Master." The Jinyuan guard came to report, "Madam is here."

Xie Jin turned around and saw Madam Xie walked in, followed by her two personal maids.

"Why is mother here?" Xie Jin stood up, "Didn't you go to drink tea with the ladies today?"

"Who wants to drink tea every day in the hot summer?" Mrs. Xie walked into the house and found a comfortable low couch to sit down. The maid behind her massaged her shoulders, "Where did you ask your men to send the fruits?"

Xie Jin raised an eyebrow: "Why?"

"Send it to Yaoyao?"

Xie Jin was silent for a moment: "Mother, he has a name."

Opening his mouth Yaoyao and closing his mouth Yaoyao, isn't it cheesy?

"I know." Mrs. Xie glanced at him, her tone sounded relaxed and playful, "His name is Xuanyuan Yao, and his nickname is Yaoyao, which is nice."

Xie Jin looked at her expressionlessly.

"Don't look at me like that." Mrs. Xie frowned, her tone was a little dissatisfied, "I will think that my son is not filial to his mother. When the time comes, I will complain to your father. Do you believe that he will make you and Yaoyao never see each other again?"

Xie Jin was silent for a moment, turned around and sat down on the brocade couch beside him, and couldn't help but sighed secretly.

Just say he should be melancholy

Even though he was not afraid of the worldly eyes and gossip, besides his father, there was Rong Yu who was an obstacle that he could not overcome temporarily, and the Huainan King and his wife who were in Huainan.

Xie Jin was not afraid of his father. After all, his father's thoughts were different from other old pedants. He was very open-minded and always believed in the famous saying that life was short and he needed to enjoy himself while he could. Whether it was for himself or Xie Jin, he only had one requirement - to live happily under the premise of being upright and having a clear conscience.

So he had always been allowed to do everything and would not interfere with him too much.

It was just that having a clear conscience sounded easy, but everyone had different standards for understanding it. Fortunately, although Xie Jin had a somewhat unruly temperament, he was not raised crooked in general.

As for the inheritance of his descendants, Prime Minister Xie did not have a forced attitude, but Xie Jin knew in his heart that his father's open-minded attitude did not mean that others could also be open-minded.

So this matter probably needed his father's help, otherwise he could not say whether he could get what he wanted.

Xie Jin was silent for a moment: "Mother."

"Hmm?" Madam Xie picked up the herbal tea served by the maid, drank two sips elegantly, and looked up at Xie Jin, "What's wrong?"

"Don't you think this kind of thing has exceeded moral ethics?" Xie Jin looked at her, "Although I am quite willful, in terms of lifelong affairs, you and my father must agree sincerely."

Madam Xie raised her eyebrows, lowered her eyes, drank the icy and refreshing herbal tea in her hand, put the teacup aside, and then spoke slowly: "If your father and I oppose it, will you kill the idea in your heart?"

Xie Jin said: "That won't happen."

"Morality and ethics are all written by the so-called ancient saints. When they set moral standards, they certainly didn't have the courage to cross the line of morality and ethics, or they didn't have such an idea." Madam Xie said in a light tone, "But there is no shortage of such things in history, but because they are rare, they are not accepted by most people. However, some so-called gentlemen appear to be glorious on the surface, but don't they do a lot of dirty things in private?"

Xie Jin didn't speak.

"I have always believed that no matter what you do, as long as it does not infringe on the interests of others and does not bring harm or trouble to others, then no one has the right to point fingers. After all, you did not eat his rice, and the inheritance of offspring has nothing to do with others." Mrs. Xie smiled, "In this matter, you don't have to worry about anything else. The only thing you need to consider is the attitude of Xuanyuan Yao's parents. If they strongly oppose it and do not allow this to happen, then you probably really need to consider giving up. After all, you want someone else's son, and you still have to respect this - this is the bottom line."

Bottom line?

Xie Jin lowered his eyes, and the corners of his charming eyes were filled with a deep and unfathomable color.

"Jin'er, I think this road is not easy for you to take." Mrs. Xie frowned, "Yaoyao looks like a completely heartless child. He probably never thought about it. You..."

"It's not that he didn't think about it." Xie Jin said in a light tone, "He is now scared and hiding."

ah?

Mrs. Xie looked at him with strange eyes: "You're scaring people before you even spell out your horoscope? Don't you know that everything should be done step by step?"

Xie Jin's expression was subtle: "Every time I see him, I can't help but want to tease him."

Mrs. Xie: "..."

"I don't think it's a problem with King Huainan." Xie Jin said, "At worst, let them have another one... By the way."

Having said this, Xie Jin suddenly raised his head and looked at Mrs. Xie: "My parents are not very old now, why not give birth to a son while we are still young? Otherwise, the Xie family will really have their bloodline cut off in the future?"

Mrs. Xie's face turned red: "How come you are so good and you suddenly talk about me?"

"I'm just making a suggestion."

Mrs. Xie sighed: "I don't want to give birth."

"Why?"

"I'm afraid you'll fall out of favor."

Xie Jin was speechless for a moment. After holding it for a long time, he said: "Mom, you are too worried. I never worry about falling out of favor."

He's an adult, okay.

Is it possible that he still plans to be pampered until he is 40 years old?

"But it hurts to have a baby." Melancholy appeared on Mrs. Who won it for you?"

Xie Jin paused: "..."
