In fact, we can see Xie Lingyun's wealth from the battle to maintain his ancestral home.

Xie Lingyun's battle to repair his ancestral home was so exaggerated that even the local satrap was startled.

His father was Xie Xian, secretary of the dynasty, and his grandmother was the daughter of Wang Xizhi, a calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang Xizhi is a famous calligrapher in the history of China. His calligraphy works can be sold at sky-high prices in the Jin Dynasty, so Xie Lingyun naturally doesn't need to worry about money.
