Ming Lingyi didn't know how the rumor had twisted from "Xie Jiu catches Second Brother Xie in the act" to "the first branch of the Xie family catches their own father having an affair."
But one had to admit, neither Xie Jiu nor Second Brother Xie was as juicy a subject for the citizens of Shangjing City to gossip about as the Xie Family Head, the current Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
The rumor swept through the city like an autumn wind scattering leaves. In the blink of an eye, it was everywhere, blanketing the Capital City.
Ming Lingyi wasn't sure if other families had a hand in this, but in any case, by the time the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Xie Jupu, left his mansion, the streets and alleys outside were already buzzing with news of his scandals—scandals he himself hadn't even known about.
Talk about trouble falling from a clear blue sky.
When Xie Jupu rushed to Xinghua Alley with his men, the place was already a chaotic scene.
