Chapter 153: Inverting black and white in this game

Xi Rui and the emperor's uncle were drinking in the private room.

The emperor's uncle continued sharing his hobbies with Xi Rui.

Xi Rui pretended to be dealing with it well, but he actually wanted to roll his eyes.

Xi Rui curled his lips and said, "These men are all sissy."

The emperor's uncle raised his eyebrows. "You haven't even grown all your hair yet, so who are you to call them sissy?"

Xi Rui did not mention Xiao Yuanshi right from the start.

Instead, he praised a few of the imperial guards.

These people all came from some well-known family.

He knew them and had a good relationship with them.

Hence, even if this news were to spread, it would only be treated as a joke.

The emperor's uncle laughed. "Then, you should strike them off the list as soon as possible. I haven't heard of any problems with these people."

He pointed to the sky and said, "Also, if you dare to touch the imperial guards, as your uncle, I will not forgive you."

The empress dowager was Duke Xi's sister, so the emperor was Xi Rui's uncle.

This dandy's sweet mouth could not only coax the empress dowager, but also make the emperor happy.

Otherwise, if someone else had burned the princess's hair, they would definitely have been dealt with multiple times, but he was still alive and well.

Xi Rui snorted. "I didn't want to touch them in the first place."

He moved closer to the emperor's uncle's ear and whispered, "By the way, I heard that Xiao Yuanshi is the same as you behind his back."

His uncle was stunned. "Really? It doesn't look like it!"

Xi Rui said, "According to reliable sources, it's true. And do you know why he doesn't take concubines? It's actually to cover it up."

His uncle said in disbelief, "I've never heard that he has a close relationship with anyone outside!"

Xiao Yuanshi was handsome, refined, and had a good appearance and temperament.

He had only admired him in the past, but he did not have any thoughts about it.

Although he was an old profligate, he still had principles in doing things and would never force anyone.

Otherwise, he would have long been called into the palace to receive the emperor's scolding.

Xi Rui knew that he would not believe him, so he made up a story with a mysterious look on his face. "I heard that he is targeting Ge Chunyi. Of course, others won't be able to tell."

Liang Youxiao had asked him to make up a rumour...

"Didn't you see that he didn't support the Xiao family, but he helped his brother-in-law the most? He treated his brother-in-law very well. Will you treat your brother-in-law so well?"

This old profligate had a wife.

He was shocked. "Ah, so it has something to do with that gigolo?"

Xiao Yuanshi had indeed been nurturing his brother-in-law all this while.

Those who did not know them well would think that that was his biological brother.

The emperor's uncle had a rather distant relationship with his brothers-in-law.
