Originally, in Xie Qingshan's opinion, there was no need for the head of the Xie family to test like this.
He could just use force directly, and in this way, he could get the answer he wanted as quickly as possible.
But now this Xie family, first acting like a kind-hearted elder, actually made Xie Qingshan even more wary.
Because this is completely inconsistent with his understanding of the head of the Xie family.
Of course, this cannot be ruled out, all because he also has the status of a member of the Xie family.
Xie Qingshan did not raise his head to see the head of the Xie family, nor did he get up directly because of this.
On the contrary, he kept kowtowing in even greater fear.
"Master, I know my mistake! I deserve to die! I have disgraced the Xie family! Please forgive me, Master!"
When Xie Qingshan said this, his voice seemed trembling, as if fear had spread throughout his body.
But at this moment, the head of the Xie family looked at Xie Qingshan, who didn't even dare to raise his head, and his body that couldn't stop shaking, but his expression showed a hint of coldness.
But this coldness quickly disappeared.
It was replaced by the same charitable and kind expression as before.
"Get up quickly, I don't mean to blame you."
With that said, the head of the Xie family sat back at the desk again.
At this moment, Xie Qingshan slowly raised his head and looked at him in disbelief.
"Really?"
I don't know if it was because he was too excited, but when Xie Qingshan said this, he did not add the word "head of the family" in front of it.
But such a reaction made the head of the Xie family have a strange look in his eyes.
"The head of the family... Dongcheng's matter..."
At this moment, Xie Dongcheng's father's voice sounded from the side.
Although the sound is not loud, it can be heard clearly by people in the study.
Obviously, Xie Dongcheng's father was reminding the head of the Xie family that business matters were important.
However, the next moment, the head of the Xie family had already turned his attention to Xie Dongcheng's father.
At this moment, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the head of the Xie family.
Obviously he was extremely dissatisfied with Xie Dongcheng's father's reminder.
When Xie Dongcheng's father saw the look from the head of the family, he couldn't help but feel a little fear in his heart.
He quickly lowered his head and said no more.
It was only at this moment that the head of the Xie family turned his attention to Xie Qingshan again.
"Qingshan, I really have something to do here today, and I want to ask you about it."
"When you came back last time, you already told me that your cousin was attacked by Qin invaders over there..."
When he said this, the head of the Xie family did not continue, but paused before continuing.
"Since your cousins were all attacked, why were you able to come back after Qin Kou's attack?"
In fact, Xie Qingshan had already given an explanation for this issue before.
But the person asking the question now was the head of the Xie family, so he naturally had to explain it again.
At that moment, Xie Qingshan repeated what he said before.
"Report to the head of the family! All of this is thanks to the help of my cousin who allowed me to return to the capital early."
When he said this, Xie Qingshan's face showed a look of luck.
"If it weren't for my cousin who allowed me to return to the capital in advance, I'm afraid I would be where I am now..."
Xie Qingshan did not finish what he said next, but his expression at this moment was enough to explain everything.
Various complicated expressions such as fear and the aftermath of the disaster were all gathered on his face at this moment.
Such an answer is naturally not what the head of the Xie family wants to hear.
Because he already knew the answer before that.
Although he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, the head of the Xie family had no intention of blaming him at this moment.
On the contrary, for today's family, there is a look of concern.
"Didn't you encounter the Qin Kou attack again on your way back?"
Hearing this, Xie Qingshan showed a thoughtful expression on his face.
After a long time, Xie Qingshan still didn't say a word.
"What's wrong?"
Perhaps it was because the head of the Xie family no longer wanted to continue, so he asked directly after waiting like this.
At this moment, Xie Qingshan said with an innocent look.
"Reporting to the head of the family, after I left that day, I didn't know what happened next."
However, the head of the Xie family naturally did not want to believe Xie Qingshan's words.
But now that Xie Qingshan has said this, no matter what he asks next, it will be the same.
Or maybe it was because of Xie Qingshan's answer that Xie Dongcheng's father could no longer stand it.
Even at this moment, with the head of the family nearby, he couldn't help but ask sharply.
"Are you telling the truth?"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Qingshan immediately turned his attention to Xie Dongcheng's father.
At this moment, the expression on Xie Dongcheng's father's face was extremely ferocious.
Obviously, he didn't believe Xie Qingshan's words at all.
What's more, Xie Dong was originally the hope of their lineage, but now his life and death are unknown, how can he not be excited?
If the previous attitude of the head of the Xie family were to be followed, Xie Dongcheng's father would definitely be scolded by him if he said this now.
However, the head of the Xie family did not stop him at this time. Instead, he turned around and returned directly to the desk.
As if he doesn't care about all this.
Seeing this situation, how could Xie Qingshan not understand what he meant.
I guess he just couldn't handle being soft, so he asked Xie Dongcheng's father to be tough.
However, Xie Qingshan had already been mentally prepared for such a situation.
When he looked at Xie Dongcheng's father again, the fear in his eyes was even stronger.
"How could I lie to the head of the family about this matter?"
On the other side, when Xie Dongcheng's father heard this, he still didn't believe it.
But he had no better way.
It wasn't that he didn't want to torture Xie Qingshan, but the head of the Xie family had already ordered him not to touch Xie Qingshan until necessary.
If not, he might have tortured Xie Qingshan long ago.
As for when the necessary moment is, this degree is not something he can decide now.
Let’s not talk about whether he has the qualifications or not, but now that the head of the family is around, he does not have the right to decide where this degree is.
Because of this, Xie Dongcheng's father could only turn his attention to the Xie family on the side.
The witness, Xie Dongcheng's father, looked at the head of the Xie family with an indifferent expression.
It seemed that the matter in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Regarding this attitude, Xie Dongcheng's father didn't know what to do for a while.
If he went too far, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the head of the family at that time.
What's more, if what happened to Xie Qingshan really happened, Xie Lin would probably have a good argument with him by then.
Nowadays, they no longer have Xie Dongcheng, the proud son of heaven. If they really become enemies with other people, they will probably be the ones who suffer in the end.
After careful consideration, Xie Dongcheng's father finally asked the family head.
