Only after being reborn did I realize that I was the white moonlight of a powerful minister.

Chapter 73 Scared to the point of peeing

Sun Hao came to see Xie Boyuan, but he didn't expect to run into Xie Bohuai here. Ever since he interrogated Xie Bohuai, he had been on tenterhooks, afraid that Xie Bohuai would come after him at any time.

The past few days have been unrealistically peaceful.

Seeing Xie Bohuai squint his eyes, Sun Hao instinctively wanted to run away.

"Lord Sun, it's been a long time." Xie Bohuai had just spoken when Sun Hao's legs went weak and he collapsed.

Xie Boyuan came out of the house and saw how useless Sun Hao was. A look of disdain flashed in his eyes. He came over and said, "I heard before that you and Lord Sun had some misunderstandings. Since it's such a coincidence today, why don't you sit down and have some tea together?"

He was just being polite, deliberately trying to annoy Xie Bohuai, because Xie Bohuai definitely wouldn't agree.

Xie Bohuai nodded and said, "I really miss Lord Sun. Let's sit together then. Lord Sun looks quite well lately; it seems you've been sleeping well?"

"No, no." Sun Hao shook his head vigorously, bowing his back and looking at Xie Boyuan repeatedly, inwardly blaming Xie Boyuan for being so talkative. Why did he have to invite Xie Bohuai for no reason?

"If you don't have anything to say, come in quickly. I was just about to hear what you had to say." Xie Bohuai emphasized, then went back first.

As Sun Hao passed by Xie Boyuan, he wanted to ask quietly what was going on, but Qingshan, oblivious to the situation, said, "Lord Sun, let's go inside and talk. My master wants to hear it too. You don't need to sneak around, or people will misunderstand that you and the master are having some shady dealings."

"What did you say?" Xie Boyuan glared at him, but Qingshan wasn't afraid at all.

Last time in the prison, Qingshan and Siyan were beaten so badly that it was the worst punishment they had ever suffered in their lives.

Looking at Sun Hao now, trembling with fear, it's clear that Qingshan is deliberately trying to disgust people.

"Master, I'm not good with words, I just want you to go in quickly so that there aren't so many people watching." Qingshan specially called over the waiter, "Bring two pots of good tea, and put it on Master Xie's tab."

Xie Boyuan glared at Qingshan. Now that things had come to this, he blamed himself for being too talkative, but he could only follow him into the private room.

Seeing the two of them sit down, Xie Bohuai said, "Speak, say whatever you want, just pretend I don't exist."

Xie Boyuan: ...How could I possibly pretend he doesn't exist?

Sun Hao kept glancing at Xie Boyuan out of the corner of his eye. Xie Boyuan had invited him, but Xie Bohuai had come along instead. He couldn't understand what Xie Boyuan was thinking, bringing Xie Bohuai along.

"Third brother, you're overthinking it. We just met for tea, nothing serious," Xie Boyuan said sheepishly.

"I didn't expect the tea here to be so good that it would lead you to meet here," Xie Bohuai said. "It's alright if it's not about the Prince Xian or the Crown Prince, otherwise, I'm a very sensitive person, and I don't hold grudges. I might even do something like betraying my own family for the greater good."

Xie Boyuan knew what Xie Bohuai meant. The arrogance he had shown in front of Xie Bohuai just now had completely vanished. He anxiously looked at Sun Hao, hoping that Sun Hao would find a way to leave.

But Xie Boyuan overestimated Sun Hao. From the moment he met Xie Bohuai, Sun Hao's head became a decoration, unable to turn at all.

The three of them were quiet for a while. Xie Bohuai was still making and drinking tea. After about 15 minutes, Xie Boyuan couldn't hold back any longer. "We've almost finished drinking the tea. I'd like to go back first and continue drinking tea another day."

"No rush, I've only brewed two kinds of tea, there's more." Xie Bohuai gestured for Xie Boyuan to sit down. "When I was in the prison, I wondered who had such power to command someone like Lord Sun. Later, I thought about it carefully, and guess what I thought of?"

Sun Hao's heart was pounding with nervousness. Xie Boyuan frowned and asked, "What?"

Xie Bohuai smiled slightly, "Let's not talk about this. We're here to have tea, not to discuss official business. There's no need to make the atmosphere so tense."

He started speaking but refused to continue. Sun Hao was like an ant on a hot pan, anxious to the point of collapse.

"Third brother is joking, right? Lord Sun is just following the rules; he has no choice in the matter." Xie Boyuan remained calmer.

"Then we'll have to ask Lord Sun how he ended up having no choice in the matter?" The more Xie Bohuai laughed, the more frightened Sun Hao became. When Xie Bohuai handed him a teacup, Sun Hao thought Xie Bohuai was about to make a move, so he instinctively dodged backward and fell to the ground.

Sun Hao bumped into the tea table, knocking the teapot to the ground. Scalding water and bits of embers fell on Sun Hao's body and hands, causing him to cry out in pain.

Seeing Sun Hao's outburst, Xie Boyuan quickly pulled him away, saying, "What are you doing? Xie Bohuai was just handing you tea!"

"I...I have something to do, I have to go first!" Sun Hao staggered to his feet, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible, but Qingshan stopped him.

Without the master's approval, Qingshan would not easily let Sun Hao leave.

"Make way...make way!" Even these two words were stammered and hesitant in Sun Hao's voice.

Qingshan wasn't afraid; he only listened to his master.

Xie Bohuai chuckled, and Sun Hao got goosebumps. He turned to look at Xie Bohuai and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"Lord Sun, you're overthinking it. I didn't do anything. Just like my elder brother said, I was only handing you a teacup. Are you feeling guilty, Lord Sun?" Xie Bohuai stood up and walked towards Sun Hao. When he got close, Sun Hao was so scared that he wet himself.

There was a noticeably wet patch on the ground.

Xie Bohuai gave Qingshan a wink, and Qingshan stepped aside. Xie Bohuai deliberately pushed open the door so that passersby could see Sun Hao's embarrassing state. "Lord Sun, you really think too highly of me. I have my reasons for everything I do. You were just following orders, which I can understand."

People coming and going in the corridor all stopped.

They all saw that Sun Hao's pants were wet. The dignified Prefect of the Capital was wetting his pants in a teahouse. Moreover, it seemed that Xie Bohuai hadn't even drawn his sword. How could he be so cowardly?

Someone whispered, "What's wrong with Lord Sun? Why is he so afraid?"

"Who knows? Maybe they did something wrong."

These two sentences reached Sun Hao's ears, and he blushed furiously. He couldn't stay any longer and ran away in a disheveled state. However, he went down the stairs too fast and tumbled down.

Xie Bohuai stood on the stairs, smiled faintly, and when he looked away, everyone immediately dispersed.

When Xie Bohuai reached the door of the private room, Xie Boyuan, who was inside, had a livid face and left with his servant without looking back.
