In the eyes of Dou Zhao and the others.
Xu Yannian was definitely a weirdo.
Xu Yannian had given birth to two sons and a daughter in this lifetime.
They were all quite promising.
His daughter was naturally the Empress.
Then, the daughter of the daughter ascended the throne and became emperor.
The other two sons were not bad either.
One was a third-grade official of the Supreme Court.
One of them was a Rank-3 commander.
Logically speaking, Xu Yannian was a winner in life.
However, he had chosen a path that ordinary people could not imagine.
First, she would sever all ties with her two sons.
Secondly, he had never interacted with the empress.
The empress had rewarded him many times.
He sent them all back.
As for Xu Yannian's own salary, he did not reject it.
Because in his words, he deserved it.
However, Xu Yannian's salary had been used to help the poor.
Other than that, he also set up a private school in the most remote corner of the Imperial City with his own funds.
The rules of this private school were also very strange.
All children from poor families who came to study were free.
Children from rich families would charge exorbitant tuition fees when they came to study.
However, due to Xu Yannian's special status, he was able to do so.
Even though his tuition fees were very expensive, those rich and powerful people were still very keen to send their children over to study.
In fact, it was equivalent to Xu Yannian using the money of these nobles to subsidize these poor children.
What outsiders didn't know was…
Su Che had actually suggested this idea to Xu Yannian.
Xu Yannian gladly accepted after hearing it.
He felt that it was wonderful!
The age difference between Su Che and Xu Yannian was nearly sixty years.
They would definitely be friends regardless of age.
Dou Zhao, Li Yu, and the others were all curious as to how a young man like Su Che could get together with Xu Yannian and have such a good relationship with him.
But in reality.
The reason was actually very simple.
It was just that Su Che and Xu Yannian had the same views on many things.
For example.
Su Che abhorred evil, especially those corrupt officials. He couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes.
Xu Yannian was about the same.
The reason why he severed ties with his two sons was because he was afraid that he would be killed.
It was because his two sons were corrupt.
It wasn't that Xu Yannian hadn't thought of putting righteousness before family.
He went straight to the empress and asked her to investigate his two uncles according to law.
However, the empress did not do as she was told.
Instead, she advised him not to be so persistent and to think things through.
However, Xu Yannian did not stop there.
In the end, it was his wife who threatened to kill him.
Xu Yannian finally gave up on this idea.
Back then, Xu Yannian was a poor boy, but he was talented since he was young. A local squire felt that he would become a great man in the future, so he had been funding his education.
She even married her daughter to him.
Later on, Xu Yannian did not disappoint and entered the court as an official.
At that time, he had left his hometown and was an official in the northern territory of Chu.
He didn't even have the time to rush back after his parents passed away.
The funeral was all arranged by his wife.
Including things like mourning.
Therefore, Xu Yannian felt guilty towards his wife.
Otherwise, even if his wife threatened him with her life, he would not be able to do it.
He would definitely put justice above family.
Fortunately, after Xu Yannian's ruckus.
After Su Che's threats…
His two sons didn't dare to act recklessly anymore.
At least for now, he was a diligent official and had a good reputation among the people.
Although there was an old saying that a prodigal son's return was worth more than gold.
However, Xu Yannian was very clear.
His two sons were not sincere in repentance at all.
The two of them were just afraid, so they turned over a new leaf.
Therefore, he had already thought it through.
When his wife left one day, he would force Zhao Yinman to investigate his two sons according to the law.
Therefore…
Xu Yannian had always hoped that he could live longer than his wife.
All so that he could personally send his two sons to prison.
After Su Che knew what he was thinking, there was nothing but admiration.
He didn't know if Xu Yannian's two sons were filial sons.
However, Xu Yannian was definitely a strict father.
……
After Su Che's accident…
Dou Zhao was also worried that someone would speak up for Su Che.
He carefully listed some possible candidates.
The most troublesome ones among them.
They were none other than Su Che's sworn brothers.
However, it seemed that these people had already been dealt with by Li Yu.
Then, it was Xu Yannian.
But Dou Zhao still made a mistake.
He thought that Xu Yannian would directly go to the empress to reason with her.
However, she did not expect him to find her first.
Therefore, he was suffering now.
"Country Lord, let's go in and talk.”
"There are so many people watching outside. It's not a good influence.”
Dou Zhao came up to him and whispered.
"You still know that it's a bad influence?"
Xu Yannian, this old fellow, was immediately enraged.
If not for the fact that the wooden stick had been thrown aside by Dou Zhao's servant.
He wanted to give Dou Zhao a beating.
"Then do you know what kind of impact your two articles will have on Su Che if they get out?”
"He will directly erase everything he has done for the Chu Country!”
At this point, Xu Yannian's eyes turned red, and he was in a state of extreme anger.
“……”
Dou Zhao was rendered speechless by Xu Yannian's rebuttal.
Now, more and more people were watching.
There were some things that he could not say in such an occasion, or else it would set off a huge wave.
However, Xu Yannian refused to enter the manor with him.
He couldn't possibly let someone tie him up.
This was the empress's grandfather.
Even if Dou Zhao had ten guts, he would not dare to do so.
Therefore, he was in a dilemma.
He could only stand there obediently and be scolded.
