Xie Xin rushed over, snatched the booklet Jiang Er had stuffed into Xie Xiu's hand, and demanded sharply, "What is this? What are you doing?"

Jiang Er was so angry that he yelled, "Xie Si, are you fucking sick? Return the book to me right now!"

Xie Xin sneered, "Don't think I don't know what kind of filthy things you guys have! I was right. You guys are the ones behind those albums circulating privately in the Imperial College!"

He clutched the book tightly in his hand and cursed Xie Xiu again, "Xie Xiu! I treated you as my own brother, yet you did something so shameful to our family behind my back and my third brother's back. I wonder how you're going to explain this to the commander!"

Jiang Er's expression turned extremely gloomy, and he shouted, "Xie Si, I asked you to return the book to me!"

At this time, Xie Yi walked over, and many people nearby were attracted by the movement here.

Xie Yi stretched out his hand towards Xie Xin: "Give me the book."

Xie Xin glared at Xie Xiu and Jiang Er warily, as if afraid they might snatch the book away. Then he carefully handed the book to Xie Yi: "Brother, be careful! We finally caught them with evidence, we can't let them snatch it back!"

Xie Yi glanced at Xie Xiu and Jiang Er indifferently, took the book, stepped back a few steps, and then began to examine it carefully.

There are only four words written on the cover of the book: "Mandarin Ducks' Strange Dreams". It is very straightforward and one can roughly guess what the story is at a glance.

He turned back again and was immediately stunned.

The book actually did not contain the secret pictures that he and Xie Xin had thought, but neat text.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that this was not a picture album, but a storybook!

Xie Yi was shocked and couldn't help but look at Xie Xiu. Seeing him standing there with a cold face, not at all panicked, he suddenly had a very bad premonition.

He and Xie Xin wanted to find something to hold against Xie Xiu, but now it seems that not only will they fail to find anything to hold against Xie Xiu, they might even end up making a fool of themselves.

Xie Yi's heart sank, but he still did not give up and carefully read the contents of the book.

If the book was about his and Xie Xin's "scandal", they could turn the tables.

Unfortunately, after seeing this, Xie Yi's heart sank completely.

The book does not describe the forbidden love between two brothers, but a very common story of a poor scholar marrying a rich girl, but after graduating from high school, he changed his heart and married another noble lady.

Xie Yi had read countless clichéd stories like this, so after flipping through it, he quickly lost interest.

At this moment, Jiang Er snorted in displeasure, "Xie Yi, you always act like a gentleman, so righteous. I never thought that after hanging out with Xie Xin, you would actually resort to robbery!"

Xie Xin quickly defended his brother: "Jiang Er, stop talking nonsense. I only snatched it away because I suspected you and Xie Xiu were looking at something dirty. It has nothing to do with my third brother!"

After saying that, he stretched his neck to look at the book in Xie Yi's hand and deliberately asked loudly, "Third brother, tell me, what kind of shameful and filthy things are in this book? Is it slandering us?"

Xie Yi looked at the people around him who were attracted by his loud voice, and his forehead veins throbbed with anger. He quickly scolded, "Stop talking nonsense! This is just an ordinary storybook."

Xie Xin was stunned when he heard this, but he still snatched the book away and flipped through it frantically. As expected, he saw that it was a clichéd story about a poor scholar who became rich but was abandoned by his wife in order to marry a rich man.

"How could this happen?" He widened his eyes in disbelief, but still refused to give up, so he searched frantically, trying to find what was hidden inside.

But I can't find it.

There was no paper slipped into the book, nor was there the secret play picture he thought it was, or even any handwriting.

It is a brand new storybook, and the binding is very beautiful. It is obviously a hardcover edition and is of great value.

He was still flipping through the book desperately, but Jiang Er suddenly reached out and snatched the book back from his hand.
