"Does this mean the Xie family has no one to stand up?" Xie Shu slammed the table, his anger palpable.
After Xie Yanyu returned his sister to her courtyard, he sought out his father to report the matter, omitting the indecent details, simply stating that Lu Ziyuan had obstructed his sister and refused to let her leave.
Seeing his father in such a rage, he calmed his voice and said, "Lu Ziyuan has been arrogant, offending many over the past two years. Surely someone will voice this matter at tomorrow's court meeting. Father, you might as well draft a memorial and ask the Holy Emperor for justice."
Xie Shu had the same thought. Upon hearing this, he pondered briefly, then summoned his confidant and instructed, "Invite Lords Liu and Jiang to our residence for a discussion."
