Xie Xiu raised an eyebrow: "How do you know that I am the eldest son of Master Xie?"
Pei Rong smiled casually, "I heard that Scholar Xie has three sons in the Imperial College. The eldest son is particularly fond of visiting bookstores and is about the same age as you. Moreover, you look a bit like the second Miss Xie."
When Xie Xiu heard this person actually say that he and Xie Jia looked similar, he felt disgusted.
However, he didn't show it on his face, and only pretended to be surprised and asked, "I wonder who you are, and what do you want from me?"
Pei Rong immediately asked with concern, "I'm Pei Rong. I sent the second young lady back home yesterday. I wonder if she's doing well at home?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Xiu couldn't help but look at Pei Rong deeply, with murderous intent in his heart: He had clearly deliberately avoided these two people and didn't meet them on the way back to Beijing, but this man still targeted him and wanted to use him as a springboard.
Do you think he is easy to bully because he is the son of the original wife?
In that case, how could he let down the other party's "kindness"? Naturally, he had to return the favor!
Xie Xiu's expression was cold. "Since you've asked about me, you should know that I'm not living in the Xie Mansion right now. You shouldn't ask me how my second sister is doing in the Xie Mansion. You should come and visit her in person."
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Pei Rong and turned to enter the Imperial College.
Pei Rong stood there, watching his departing back. After a flicker of his eyes, he turned and left pretending to be disappointed.
There were already quite a few people passing by. Seeing him about to leave, someone stopped him curiously, looking him up and down excitedly: "Are you Pei Rong, the one who saved Miss Xie Er from the kidnappers?"
Pei Rong looked embarrassed and frowned as he said, "After all, this matter concerns the reputation of Second Miss Xie. I hope you won't ask any more questions."
The man looked embarrassed by what he said and couldn't help but whispered back, "The news has spread, and everyone knows that it was you, Pei Rong, who saved Miss Xie Er from the kidnapper.
Even if her reputation is damaged, it's because of you and the kidnapper. What does it have to do with me? If you're worried about her, just go to the Xie Mansion and propose marriage, and marry her!"
At this point, he suddenly asked, "You don't already have a wife, do you?"
"Of course not!" Pei Rong quickly retorted, then blushed and said with some disappointment, "Second Miss Xie is a daughter of gold, how could she marry me?"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately became displeased and said, "You saved Second Miss Xie, so why can't she marry you? I see you're quite handsome, and I heard you were even a successful candidate. Since you don't have a wife at home, how could the Xie family really despise you?"
Pei Rong's face turned even redder, but he said, "Your Excellency should stop talking about Second Miss Xie. After all, she is a daughter of a wealthy family. It is really rude of you to talk about her in public like this."
The man snorted unhappily, "Hmph, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I'm doing this for your own good, but you don't appreciate it. You're such a pedantic scholar!"
After saying that, he fanned himself and turned away.
Pei Rong frowned with an unhappy look, then bowed to the people watching the show around him, asking them one by one not to talk about Xie Jia's kidnapping anymore.
Seeing his pious attitude and good looks, everyone admired him more and more as a humble gentleman who was in love with Miss Xie.
So after everyone dispersed, they immediately spread the news and praised Pei Rong's gentlemanly demeanor.
Someone even went out of their way to find Xie Xiu and Xie Yi in the Imperial College and told them about this.
Xie Xiu sneered inwardly, but sighed, "Hearing you say that, he can indeed be called a gentleman."
The other party looked at him curiously: "Haven't you spoken to him before? Don't you find that he is a gentleman?"
Xie Xiu frowned slightly, looking somewhat helpless. "He suddenly asked me about my second sister. As an older brother, how could I casually reveal my sister's situation to a man from outside the family?"
"That's true. Besides, you're not living in the Xie Mansion right now, so I'm afraid you don't know the situation of Second Miss Xie."
The other party nodded, then asked curiously, "It's just that your second sister met with evildoers, which is not very glorious after all. Since she was saved by Pei Rong, and Pei Rong is a gentleman who is loyal to Miss Xie, if the two of them were to get married, it would create a beautiful story."
