Chapter 83 Past Life Part 10 It seems like everything else is more important than his personal feeli

"Shen Yingsi, you've grown too big for your britches! Now you actually dare to oppose your mother!"

Shen Yingsi looked at Xie Wanning and said calmly, "Mother, the Zhao family father and son are still kneeling at the palace gate. If we don't give them an explanation, this matter will be difficult to resolve. Moreover, if we continue to indulge Xie Wansheng like this, how many more people will be killed by him!"

"You broke Wan Sheng's legs, isn't that enough?"

"not enough!"

Xie Wanning looked up at her son, who was a head taller than her, and then turned to look at her younger brother, who was lying on the ground, barely alive.

These two were her dearest relatives. Shen Yingsi had been independent since childhood and could make his own decisions. And Xie Wansheng? He was only three years old when his mother passed away, a tiny little boy who had relied on her since he was little and listened to her in everything. Even now that he's older, he often comes to the palace to coax her and make her happy.

She simply couldn't bear to part with it.

“Si’er, I know you’re in a difficult position, but how can their lives compare to ours? Wansheng has been an orphan since he was little, and now he’s lost his legs. He’s already pitiful enough. You should help the Zhao family father and son get promoted, and then send Wansheng to jail as a token gesture. That will make this matter over. I’m begging you, please let Wansheng go. I will definitely teach him a good lesson from now on.”

Looking at his elegantly dressed, aloof mother, Shen Yingsi was momentarily speechless.

Shen Yingsi hardened his heart: "Mother, you can't teach this fool any better. From now on, send him to guard Ghost Valley. The monsters there might be able to teach him to be a good person. From now on, he doesn't need to return to the capital."

"Si'er! How dare you! If you really intend to do this, then Xie Wanzhou has no reason to return to the capital!"

Shen Yingsi glanced at her with lowered eyes, then turned and left: "Xie Xiao took the person away and sent him out of the capital overnight. Also, give this leg to the Zhao family father and son."

"Shen Yingsi! I am your mother! This is unfilial! Shen Yingsi!"

Shen Yingsi seemed not to hear Xie Wanning's voice and walked forward steadily.

Xie Xiao picked up the person with a pounding heart, then carefully picked up the leg that had fallen to the ground and quickly left, afraid that Xie Wan Ning would notice him.

Shen Yi was pacing anxiously outside the palace. When he saw Shen Yingsi come out, he quickly went to him.

When Shen Yingsi saw Shen Yi, he instinctively wanted to bow, but Shen Yi stopped him.

When Shen Yi noticed the person Xie Xiao was carrying behind Shen Yingsi and the things in his hands, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"This this……"

"Xie Xiao, you go first."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Seeing Shen Yingsi's solemn expression, Shen Yi sighed, "It's all Father's fault. If Father hadn't invited Wan Sheng to drink yesterday, how could he have caused such a disaster?"

Shen Yingsi's expression was solemn: "Father, there is no need to blame yourself. Xie Wansheng's misbehavior has been going on for quite some time. He should have been punished long ago. However, I suspect that Uncle will be implicated in this matter."

"Si'er, your father knows you are in a difficult position. As for your mother, I will try my best to persuade her. Once she comes to her senses, your uncle will be able to return."

Shen Yingsi's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Really?"

"Of course, every time you have a conflict with your mother, I've always been on your side. But don't blame your mother either; she's been spoiled by her family since she was little."

"I see."

"Then I'll go see your mother first. She's probably furious right now."

Shen Yingsi nodded, and Shen Yi hurriedly went inside.

That day, Xie Wanzhou was stopped by people sent by Xie Wanning when he was only ten kilometers away from the city gate of the capital.

Besides Xie Wanning's people, he also saw Xie Wansheng, who had broken his leg.

The Crown Prince has decreed that Xie Wansheng, the Left General of the Forest Guard, has disregarded the law and committed a grave offense. He is hereby expelled from the capital and demoted to Commander of the Guigu Guard. He is not permitted to return to the capital without a summons.

The Empress has decreed that Grand Tutor Xie Wanzhou will accompany the Left General of the Forest Guard to Danli to guard Guigu.

Xie Wanzhou received these two pieces of information from the military leader who brought Xie Wansheng to him.

Xie Wanzhou didn't look at the unconscious Xie Wansheng; he was only gazing in the direction of the capital.

"Why was the patriarch's leg broken?"

"Last night, the Xie family head humiliated the Zhao family's eldest daughter, who had come to the palace to embroider with the Empress. In a fit of rage, His Highness cut off the family head's leg."

Xie Wanzhou felt uneasy. Even if Xie Wansheng was arrogant, he wouldn't dare to bully a noble lady, especially in the palace.

This matter is somewhat strange. If he is not around, Ying Si is as if he has lost both arms, but there is almost no one in the capital who would oppose the Crown Prince.

who can that be?

"Grand Tutor, we've brought your luggage. We should turn back now."

The soldier leader sent by Xie Wanning reminded him, but Xie Wanzhou glanced at the man with disdain and turned his horse around.

"The elders will return to the capital and henceforth follow the Crown Prince's orders. The rest of you will come with me to Danli Ghost Valley to vanquish demons! Bye!"

"drive!"

Several elders looked worried: "Wanzhou!"

Xie Wanzhou had already led his men away at full speed.

Shen Yingsi waited at the city gate all day but did not see Xie Wanzhou. It was not until sunset that someone came to report that Xie Wanzhou had already left.

"My uncle must be blaming me."

Xie Xiao comforted him, "Fourth Brother, don't think too much about it. Grand Tutor Xie loves you the most. He will definitely understand your difficulties."

can you?

Shen Yingsi didn't answer but turned and left. There were still so many things waiting for him to do, so many things that seemed to be far more important than his personal feelings.

The day after Xie Wansheng left Beijing, the city was abuzz with gossip.

"Have you heard? His Highness personally chopped off one of the Xie family head's legs yesterday!"

"Hey! How dare you speak like that? Are you trying to ruin His Highness's reputation? His Highness is known for his integrity and uprightness, while Xie Wansheng is a scoundrel who would do anything to kill people and abduct women!"

"Exactly! He got off too easily."

"However, once Xie Wansheng left, most of the demon hunters in the Xie family also left, not to mention Grand Tutor Xie. How many years can a demon-hunting family stationed in Ghost Valley last? Look at the Liang family, they are a perfect example. Your Highness's move is undoubtedly crippling yourself."

"Moreover, Xie Wansheng is the emperor's brother-in-law and the empress's own brother. If it were someone else, they might be biased and protect him. But our prince has always acted impartially."

"No wonder His Highness is destined to become a god! Gods are selfless, with only all living beings in their hearts, and would never disregard the common people for their own selfish gain. His Highness could have imprisoned the Xie family head, but instead ordered him to guard Ghost Valley. The Xie family is the foremost family for exorcising demons, and guarding Ghost Valley will allow them to better protect all living beings. His Highness's actions are truly well-intentioned!"

"well said!"

Wen Li sat in a private room upstairs, listening to the people downstairs bragging, and felt somewhat disdainful.

If Shen Yingsi were truly a god, would he still live in the mortal realm like them?

Even gods can have their own selfish desires, let alone humans?
