The Xies belonged to an ancient family.
In the former dynasty, there were officials in the Xie family, although they were not from Xie Xuning's family.
Xie Xuning's family was directly from the Xies. In the past, the emperor was a bad ruler who caused the people to suffer greatly.
There was internal strife in the royal courts, and enemies were invading from outside the country. The people were living in dire straits.
The head of the Xie family, the husband of the old matriarch, wanted to make changes for the family and the people.
"We, the Xies have lost many of our family members over the past few years. This may not be a coincidence. If the royal family bloodline is also being passed down, they could very well blame their fallen dynasty on the Xie family."
Li Qingcang frowned. "So, are you saying that the descendants of the royal family are seeking revenge?"
"Yes."
