The four great clans gifted Xue Fanxin countless priceless things. From gold, silver, jewelry, and silk, to dicinal herbs and spirit pills, as long as it was good, they gave it to her. Their intention to curry favor was obvious.
The gifts from the Xue family were not small either. They were as good as the other three families.
Xue Fanxin could not help but ask, “Your Madam Xue has no objections to the Xue family giving so many gifts?”
“She has her opinions, but it’s useless,” Xue Hanxi said with a smile. He was no longer so reserved around Xue Fanxin. Rather, he felt a little close to her.
“Why? The first ti I went to the Xue family, she was so domineering. It seed like she had the final say in the entire Xue family. She was very impressive.”
“Don’t you know whose family she is from?”
“What family? Isn’t she from the Xue family?”
Xue Hanxi shook his head and continued, “The current madam of the Xue family cos from the Pri Minister’s Estate. She’s Pri Minister Su’s aunt and is called Su Wanlian. Su Wanlian’s position has been greatly affected in the Xue family as a result of problems in the Pri Minster’s Estate. Coupled with the fact that a lot has happened in the Xue family recently, first, the Old Master passed away, then I disappeared, and then there’s your matter… In short, she’s having a difficult ti now. She keeps begging the Master to save her nephew, Pri Minister Su.”
“Oh my god! That old witch is actually from Pri Minister’s Estate? No wonder she looked so similar to Su Baifeng. When she was young, she was a white lotus that deceived my grandfather. Now that she’s old, she’s a thorny old rose.”
She now understood why her grandfather had been smitten by Su Wanlian back then.
If Su Wanlian was like the current Su Baifeng, the number one beauty and talent of Heavenly Saints City, as well as the reputation of being gentle, elegant, beautiful, and generous, probably no man in Heavenly Saints City could resist her charm.
“Back then, your grandfather was expelled from the Xue family because of her. Actually, she was the one who pulled the strings behind the scenes.” Xue Hanxi hesitated for a mont. “After Su Wanlian chose the current family head, she was worried that your grandfather would fight with the family head for control of the Xue family, so she tried her best to drive him out.”
“I understand. This old witch is as shaless and vicious as Su Baifeng.”
“Sister Xin’er, can I call you that?”
“Sure!”
“Alright, I’ll call you Sister Xin’er in the future. The previous Master has passed away, but he hasn’t been buried yet, so—”
“What did you say? He hasn’t been buried? How many days has it been? He still hasn’t been given a burial?” Xue Fanxin interrupted Xue Hanxi in extre shock. She felt it did not make sense.
Xue Hanxi shook his head helplessly and sighed before saying, “I don’t know why the Master hasn’t buried the previous Master yet, but his body is very well preserved. Master goes to visit him almost every day. He probably can’t accept the fact that his father has passed away.”
Couldn’t accept it… Was that really the case?
Xue Fanxin had serious doubts about this. She did not think that things would be so simple.
Xue Lianfeng must have had another motive for not letting the previous Master be buried, but what was it?
However, the Xue family’s matters had nothing to do with her.
