After Xie Yi finished speaking, he let go of his hand and strode ahead.

Xie Xin followed fearfully, looking nervously at Xie Yi's ugly face, but dared not say anything.

It was not until they entered the dormitory and carefully locked the door that Xie Xin apologized to Xie Yi in a low voice.

Seeing that he was quite obedient, Xie Yi's expression improved a lot and he began to teach him patiently.

The two brothers talked for a long time in the dormitory and decided to concentrate on preparing for the imperial examination, avoid Jiang Er and his gang of playboys, and not provoke Xie Xiu.

As for the rumors about the two of them, they will naturally be forgotten as time passes.

Those messy rumors were deliberately spread by Jiang Er and his gang of playboys, and not many people in the Imperial College really believed them.

As long as they ignored Jiang Er, no matter how many rumors Jiang Er spread, they would not be able to really hurt them.

If he continues to hold on to those rumors, it will only make things worse and become annoying.

However, the two had a good idea, but they never expected that Jiang Er would not continue to cause trouble for them and spread those filthy rumors that were made out of nothing.

But the book "Dream of Mandarin Ducks" he brought with him became popular in the Imperial College.

What the two brothers never expected was that as "The Strange Dream of the Mandarin Ducks" spread, a new rumor arose in the Imperial College, saying that the protagonist of "The Strange Dream of the Mandarin Ducks" was Hanlin scholar Xie Yun!

When the two brothers heard the news, they were immediately furious!

In order to refute the rumors against Xie Yun, the two of them carefully read "The Dream of the Mandarin Ducks", but the more they read, the angrier they became!

Xie Xin was so angry that he slammed the book on the table. "This man killed his first wife for wealth and fortune, married a noblewoman, and used the power of his Yue family to rise to prominence. But after becoming rich, he kept a mistress and fathered children without telling his wife. What does this have to do with my father? My father has never done anything to gain wealth or keep a mistress!"

Xie Yi's face was gloomy, and his fists were clenched. "Don't you understand? Jiang Er did it on purpose! Prime Minister Wang is old and will soon retire and return home.

Once he leaves, the position of Prime Minister will be vacant. At that time, with my father's qualifications, he will most likely be promoted.

Jiang Er deliberately chose this moment to spread rumors, saying that the protagonist in the book is my father. He clearly wants to ruin my father's reputation and prevent him from being promoted to prime minister!

Xie Xin gnashed his teeth in anger and crumpled the book into a ball. "I was wondering why he suddenly sent the book to Xie Xiu. Turns out he has such malicious intentions! We must inform our parents as soon as possible. We can't let him succeed!"

Xie Yi smiled coldly: "He is wishful thinking!"

At the same time, in a quiet courtyard, a woman looked at the book in front of her with horror, her whole body trembling.

"Oh—don't—don't kill me—"

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Qu Wan'er suddenly woke up from a nightmare.

She sat up from the bed, her whole body in a daze, her mind full of horrible scenes from the nightmare.

It took her a long while to come back to her senses. She grabbed a handkerchief beside her and gently wiped the cold sweat off her face.

Since half a month ago, she has been suffering from nightmares every night, always waking up in a cold sweat. To prevent herself from saying anything she shouldn't in her dreams, she didn't even dare to keep the maid who was on night watch.

Qu Wan'er wiped the cold sweat from her face, but she was still frightened and her heart was pounding.

During the day, she read the book "Mandarin Ducks' Strange Dreams". In the book, the mistress was nailed into a coffin alive by the wife and buried deep in the ground. After wailing and screaming for several days, she died in agony.

She was so frightened that she was shaking like a sieve and was in a state of panic. She even had no appetite for lunch or dinner.

After nightfall, she had another nightmare. She dreamed that she became the concubine in the storybook and was cruelly nailed into a coffin.

The story was described in great detail. The wife of the main wife specially found a male corpse, which was a dirty, smelly and old male beggar.

Then they put the beggar's body into the coffin. After a few days, when the body began to rot, they had someone bring her to the outer room, feed her medicine, and then put her into the arms of the rotten male corpse.
