Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The three generations of the Yan family had a clean and strict family custom. They became scholars and were promoted depending on their own abilities.
As the third generation of the Yan family were all honest and upright,Imperial Censor Yan was placed in an important position. Although the Emperor often penalized him with his salary, he only penalized him with some silver. He did not punish the Yan family in any other way.
Even the salary that was penalized would be recovered at other times.
It could be seen that in the Emperor’s heart, the Yan family was loyal and upright.
No matter how much the Emperor disliked the fact that the Yan family always targeted the Crown Prince, he was not muddle-headed and did not have the intention to punish loyal officials severely.
In addition, the Yan family’s three generations only had one wife and there were no concubines in the family. Among Imperial Censor Yan’s four children, there were two sons and two daughters. However, unlike the Xie family, they were all born from the same mother.
What was even more admirable was that Imperial Censor Yan’s wife was severely ill, yet he did not leave her.
It was said that she had suffered from environmental illness and suddenly collapsed one day. She often spoke nonsense. Her body was fine, but she was not in good spirits.
However, over the years, Imperial Censor Yan did not have any concubines, and he even took good care of her.
That was what the outside world said.
Xie Qiao could almost tell from the looks of Young Lady Yan that she had a loving father.
She also had a father, but look at him…
Xie Qiao shook her head.
“I owe her a big favor for saving my life. I’ll double the gifts I usually give to other people and give them to the Yan family. Is that okay, Eldest Sister?” Xie Xi asked in all seriousness.
She was quite generous at the moment.
“Yes, I’ll give you another thing…” Xie Qiao thought for a moment and took out a wooden tablet. The words “Sage Mo Who is Neither Dead Nor Alive” were written on it, and there were clouds and thick fog carved on it.
“Do I give this as well?” Xie Xi was puzzled.
Xie Qiao nodded. “Yes. When you give the gift, get someone to use a more expensive box and put it inside. That will do.”
Xie Xi did not understand, but she was not someone who would ask questions if she did not understand. She just nodded obediently and accepted the matter.
The next day, she immediately asked the steward to personally deliver the gift.
Imperial Censor Yan did not have to go to court every day. It happened to be his day off today.
He had also heard about yesterday’s matter from his daughter. He guessed that the Xie family would send someone to deliver something.
Although the gifts were a little heavy, they did not seem too excessive, so he got the steward to receive it.
However, the steward was stumped by the wooden tablet during the registration, so he immediately delivered the item to Master Yan.
Master Yan picked it up and looked at it.
“Sage Mo Who is Neither Dead Nor Alive? Sage Mo?” Master Yan frowned. “Could it be… that Witch Mo?”
He knew all the big and small things in the capital very well. He also knew that Witch Mo had not only bewitched the Crown Prince, but had also bewitched Prince Ning Bei and the former imperial tutor, Li Mi.
It was said that it was that expert who had the ability to help those two families.
The people also held Witch Mo in high esteem. It was said that inside the Fortune Pavilion, there were many people who wasted their time every day waiting at the door to meet that witch.
There were even talismans sold inside.
It was a strange place.
Why did the Xie family send this thing here?
“Has the Xie family left?” Master Yan asked.
“He’s waiting outside. He said that he knew you would definitely ask questions, so he’s waiting.” The Yan family’s steward said respectfully.
When Master Yan heard that, he said, “Let him in.”
After the Xie family’s steward entered, he looked at the wooden tablet and bowed respectfully, then, he immediately explained, “Master Yan, this other gift was prepared by my Second Young Lady. Only this wooden token was given to you by the First Young Lady. She said that you can bring this wooden tablet to the Fortune Pavilion. Master Mo in the pavilion will personally welcome you in and tell your feng shui by looking at your face. She will only charge you one tael of silver.. It’s very… affordable.”
