Xie Xiu lowered his eyes, a look of dejection on his face. "If this could become a good story, everyone would be happy. But even though I'm her brother, I still have parents and elders to look after. How can I make the decision on my own about my sister's marriage?"

After a pause, he continued, "Please don't spread this matter any further. My daughter's reputation is important."

The man quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, don't worry, I will definitely not spread it!"

However, as soon as he turned around and left, he immediately passed the matter on to his acquaintances in the Imperial College.

This is a story about a talented man and a beautiful woman that can only be found in such novels, and the protagonist is the legitimate daughter of a Hanlin scholar. Who can resist gossiping?

As a result, this matter quickly spread throughout the Imperial College.

On the other hand, when Xie Yi heard people talking about this, he was furious!

Others praised Pei Rong as a gentleman of integrity and righteousness.

However, he had a hunch that this person was sinister and mean. He first lured Xie Jia to elope, and then fabricated the story of kidnapping and saving people, and transformed himself into Xie Jia's savior!

He also deliberately spread the matter so that everyone knew about it, forcing him and his mother to be cautious.

Now, this man actually ran to the gate of the Imperial College and put on airs, deliberately letting everyone know that he was in love with Xie Jia. Wasn't he just trying to force them to accept this marriage?

And Xie Xiu! If he hadn't spoken to Pei Rong at the gate of the Imperial College and been seen by others, how could Pei Rong have been so successful?

Why did he want to talk to Pei Rong at the gate of the Imperial College?

Why should I bother with Pei Rong?

Couldn't he see that Pei Rong did it on purpose?

Or did he actually know, but deliberately cooperated with Pei Rong in order to plot against the Xie family?

The more Xie Yi thought about it, the angrier he became. Unfortunately, Pei Rong was not in the Imperial College, so it was not convenient for him to go out and settle the score with that man now.

I can only go find Xie Xiu.

As soon as Xie Xiu saw his expression, he knew that he wanted to bring him to justice.

So without waiting for Xie Yi to come closer, he just stood up and left.

Xie Yi immediately chased after him.

Unexpectedly, when he started chasing, Xie Xiu actually walked even faster, obviously not wanting to be caught up by him!

Xie Yi saw this and became more and more certain that Xie Xiu was feeling guilty.

So I sped up and continued chasing.

The two of them chased each other, walking faster and faster.

Until Xie Xiu suddenly stopped.

In front of him was a lotus pond with quite deep water and many lotus flowers planted in it.

Looking around, you can see the beautiful sight of endless green lotus leaves reaching the sky and red lotus flowers reflecting the sun.

Because of the beautiful scenery here, many people like to come here to enjoy the scenery.

After Xie Xiu stopped, Xie Yi quickly caught up.

Just chasing all the way made him tired and a little out of breath.

Xie Yi tried hard to stand up straight without showing any indecent posture. He also secretly looked around to make sure that the people enjoying the scenery around him were not too close.

Then he approached Xie Xiu and asked in a low voice, "Brother, did you see Pei Rong this morning?"

Xie Xiu turned and looked at him with an unhappy expression: "You chased me all the way just to ask this? I have seen him, so what? I went to the bookstore to choose books, but as soon as I came out, he came up to me. What do you think I can do?

"I didn't even know his identity at the time, let alone what he wanted to do. Should I have run for the Imperial College the moment I saw him? How could that be so?"

Xie Yi knew that what he said made sense, but when he thought of the rumors in the Imperial College, he still felt furious.

So he stared straight at Xie Xiu's face, approached him, and asked with a sneer, "Brother, are you really unaware of his identity? And haven't you guessed his plan?"

Xie Xiu met his gaze, and suddenly a mocking sneer appeared on his face. He looked at him with disdain: "Yes, I did guess it, and it was intentional. What can you do to me?"

"you--"

Xie Yi's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but reach out to grab him.

Unexpectedly, Xie Xiu suddenly fell backwards, shouting loudly: "Third brother——"

"thump!"

Xie Xiu fell into the lotus pond behind him, splashing huge water.

Xie Yi looked at the mocking smile on his face and felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. The sudden chill spread throughout his body in an instant.
