He forced a smile and said, "My fourth brother and I are about to go back. Why don't you come with us, big brother?"

Xie Xiu still refused: "No need, I still have some things to do, you guys go back first."

Xie Yi was just being polite. Seeing that he refused, he bowed and left.

As he left, his eyes swept over the script in Xie Xiu's hand, and he lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in his eyes.

At this moment, he would never have imagined that this seemingly clichéd story would cause such a huge uproar in the capital.

After Xie Yi left, someone came up to Xie Xiu curiously and looked at the storybook in his hand: "Brother Keji, is this storybook good?"

Keji was Xie Xiu's courtesy name. After he arrived at the Imperial College, everyone called him by that courtesy name. Xie Yi and Xie Xin would usually call him "Big Brother," but when Xie Xin got angry, he would simply call him "Xie Xiu."

In the past, he would shout behind people's backs, but this time he thought he had something on Xie Xiu, so he dared to shout "Xie Xiu" loudly.

Who knew that when he successfully attracted the people around him, he found that he had made a big mistake in the end and had seriously offended Jiang Er, so he could only escape in embarrassment.

Naturally, those who gathered around did not dare to be as rude as Xie Xin, so they all politely addressed Xie Xiu by his given name.

Xie Xiu smiled politely and said, "I haven't read this storybook yet, but Young Master Jiang said the stories in it are very interesting. If you want to read it, I can lend it to you. Anyway, I have to go home later and don't have time to read the storybook at all."

"Really? Thank you so much!" The student was overjoyed. "Don't worry, Brother Keji. I will take good care of this book. After I finish reading it, I will definitely return it intact!"

Xie Xiu handed him the book with a smile, and after a few polite words, he bowed and said goodbye to everyone.

As soon as he walked away, the rest of the people immediately gathered together and looked through the book curiously.

They already liked reading storybooks, and today's storybook was Jiang Er's favorite. Because of this storybook, Xie Xin even caused a big fuss and was blackmailed by Jiang Er for a hundred taels of silver, so they had to read it even more!

Everyone opened the storybook curiously, and the more they read, the more addicted they became.

On the other hand, after Xie Xiu left the Imperial College, he immediately took a carriage back to Xiaoxiang Courtyard in the Xie Mansion.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Tu Jiaojiao sitting next to the cradle, rocking the cradle and fanning the two children.

Xie Tang sat by the window reading a book.

Seeing him, Tu Jiaojiao immediately stood up excitedly and wanted to greet him, but Xie Xiu strode over.

While looking at the two children, he asked softly, "How are the children?"

Tu Jiaojiao stared at him anxiously, "The children are all fine. Are you tired? How have you been in the Imperial College these days? Did those people bully you?"

Xie Tang also put down the book in his hand and ran over to look at Xie Xiu eagerly: "Dad, why did you come back just now?"

Xie Xiu smiled and patted his head. "Did you study hard during the time Daddy was away? Did you take care of your mother and your younger siblings?"

Xie Tang immediately puffed out his chest and said, "Of course I studied hard. I also fed my sister every day and read to her. My sister likes me very much now!"

At the end of his words, he blushed a little shyly.

Xie Xiu couldn't help but feel a little jealous: "You said Yingying likes you the most? Are you sure?"

Xie Tang was a little unconvinced and a little guilty, his eyes wandering: "I... of course I'm sure! My sister kissed me!"

Xie Ying in the cradle couldn't help but roll her eyes: [It was just an accidental touch, that's why I didn't kiss her.]

Xie Xiu looked at Xie Tang with a half-smile, and Xie Tang's face instantly turned red, and he looked at Xie Ying with aggrieved eyes.

Xie Ying was confused and asked, "Brother, why are you looking at me? But brother looks so handsome right now, his eyes are so watery, as if he's about to cry at any moment."

Xie Tang suddenly couldn't cry anymore: "!!!"

Xie Xiu, however, was in a good mood and picked up his daughter. While teasing her, he asked Tu Jiaojiao, "How's the shop going? Did you give it to that woman?"
