The big guy travels through the book and becomes the female supporting role, torturing the scumbag a

Seeing that he was calm and unhurried, and didn't care about those people's misbehavior, Jiang Er couldn't help but admire him greatly.

"Brother Keji, I really admire your broad-mindedness!"

He said this sincerely and bowed to Xie Xiu.

Xie Xiu accepted it calmly, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, and a calm smile on his face, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

Jiang Er was infected by him and actually started reading books with him to study the cultivation of medicinal herbs.

Many people in the Imperial College were secretly paying attention to the two of them. They saw that they were not worried about the rumors outside at all, but were instead immersed in the library, studying the cultivation of medicinal herbs.

He couldn't help but become more certain that the rumors outside were nonsense, and Xie Xiu bought the land just to grow medicinal herbs.

Otherwise, how could Xie Xiu still sit still?

However, people outside are not as rational as the students in the Imperial College.

The rumor not only spread more and more widely, but also became more and more bizarre.

It was actually said that the treasures of the previous dynasty were buried in the Chen family’s land!

This matter even reached the palace, alarming Emperor Taihe and Concubine Jiang.

Although Emperor Taihe thought the rumor was too outrageous, since it involved the treasure of the previous dynasty, he couldn't help but care about it.

So he specifically asked Lu Xuan: "What has Xie Xiu been doing recently?"

Lu Xuan was somewhat helpless: "Your Majesty, Xie Xiu has been researching herb cultivation recently. It seems that he is determined to grow medicinal herbs."

Emperor Taihe: “…”

He really couldn't understand why Xie Xiu, a good scholar, suddenly decided to study medicinal herb cultivation.

Is it some special hobby?

But the Xie family and the Luo family didn’t grow medicinal herbs before, right?

Where did Xie Xiu get this hobby from?

But never mind, let him plant it if he wants to. It’s not a bad thing anyway.

Emperor Taihe then asked, "There have been rumors swirling around the capital lately. Can you tell where they originated? Who is spreading the rumor that a treasure is buried on the Chen family's land? They're even saying it's from the previous dynasty?"

Lu Xuan was even more helpless: "Those rumors have become more and more outrageous as they spread. Because there are so many people spreading them, it is impossible to find the source. I am incompetent!"

After saying that, he knelt down.

Emperor Taihe waved his hands irritably, "I don't blame you. Stand up. But we must continue investigating this matter. The person who hid behind the scenes and plotted against us has never been caught.

I suspect this is also his doing. His plan failed last time, and perhaps he holds a grudge, so he's deliberately spreading rumors this time to get back at Xie Xiu."

Lu Xuan stood up obediently and echoed, "Your Majesty is wise! I also suspect that someone is behind this, so I have arranged for people to keep an eye on it.

Fortunately, Xie Xiu was smart enough to know that blocking is worse than letting go, so he didn't stop those treasure hunters. I think after a few days, those people will lose interest, and these rumors will be self-defeating."

Emperor Taihe nodded with satisfaction, thinking that Xie Xiu was indeed good and a promising talent.

If Xie Xiu could pass the imperial examination next spring, he would certainly make good use of him.

After thinking for a moment, he asked Lu Xuan again, "Have you found out who has bought the land over there recently?"

Lu Xuan's heart tightened, but he still handed over the list.

Emperor Taihe opened it and was soon speechless: "Did your family also buy the land over there?"

Lu Xuan's expression turned bitter: "My wife heard that Xie Xiu and the eldest princess had bought land there, so she bought a piece as well."

"Oh." Emperor Taihe snorted and said in an ambiguous tone, "You married a good wife."

Lu Xuan: “…”

He felt bitter, but didn't dare to refute.

Originally, he was thinking that if the fat girl from the Xie family was really a lucky star, maybe he could get some good fortune.

Who knew that the wife and concubines in the family were even more superstitious than him, and all regarded Xie Ying as a lucky star!

This time, the land was bought by several people who pooled their money together, spending a total of 12,000 taels of silver, without even asking for his opinion!

I don't know what's so good about such a shabby place.

It’s all Xie Xiu’s fault. Why did he use the 100,000 taels of silver to do something else but buy a piece of crappy land?
