"Your Highness, the Xie Family has lost their ducal title. Isn't that disadvantageous for you?" Xie Shi didn't care whether he held the duke title, but he was concerned about whether the loss of the title was disadvantageous for Prince Jing.
"No." Prince Jing smiled faintly, "For me, it's actually a good thing that the Xie Family lost their title."
Xie Shi didn't quite understand, and asked blankly, "Why is that?"
"Uncle, you should know that Father has always been wary of the Xie Family."
Xie Shi nodded.
"Back then, were Father really unaware of what my eldest uncle and eldest brother were doing?" Prince Jing said, "Father is such a clever person. How could he not discover what they were doing? Father just pretended not to know anything and let them continue. Once they grew too ambitious, Father stepped in."
