Xie Wenjin fell silent for a moment before looking at Pei Shaoqing and asking, "Why the sudden interest in this?"
"I met someone in Tongzhou who claims to be a surviving member of the Xu Family," Pei Shaoqing said in a low voice. "He doesn't know I'm your son-in-law and confided in me. I wanted to ask you, Father—if he truly holds a grudge against you for wiping out his family, then I can eliminate the problem at its source."
Xie Yun's eyes widened as he blurted out, "Brother-in-law, that can't be right! Father killed his whole family, and now you want to hunt down the last survivor?"
The Xie Family's upbringing was decent, and having never been exposed to the evils of the world, his moral compass was still quite straight.
"What do you know, child? Be quiet!" Madam Xie shot him a glare before turning to her husband.
Xie Wenjin let out a soft sigh and waved a hand at his wife. "Take Yun out of here for now."
Some things were not for a child's ears.
