Chapter 95 Xie Yun: You did the right thing this time.
Although he was full of complaints, Xie Xiu said on the surface: "They are my brothers after all. How could I lose my temper when I attacked them?"
Xie Yun was so angry when he heard this that his face darkened: "How dare you say that! What on earth did they do to provoke you that you wanted to attack them?
Do you know how others will view you and the Xie family if this kind of quarrel between brothers gets out?
Xie Xiu laughed, "As the eldest brother, I was just teaching my ignorant younger brother a lesson. How can that be considered a quarrel between brothers?"
This made Xie Yun even angrier. Just as he was about to yell, he heard Xie Xiu say, "Besides, isn't father worried that Concubine Jiang's grace in allowing me to study at the Imperial College will tarnish the reputation of the Xie family?
If I don't get along with my brothers, even if Noble Concubine Jiang wants to drag the Xie family into trouble, my father can use this as an excuse to expel me from the family. Why should I worry about Noble Concubine Jiang's schemes anymore?"
"Are you really going to do this?" Xie Yun looked at him deeply. "You should know that if you do this, you will not have a good reputation in the future."
Xie Xiu said with a righteous look on his face, "I have been away from home for many years and have not been able to be filial to my elders or be friendly to my younger brothers and sisters.
If sacrificing my reputation can save the entire Xie family, why wouldn't I do it?
In my opinion, Imperial Concubine Jiang is currently enjoying the Emperor's favor, so it's not appropriate to make an enemy of her. Otherwise, if she deliberately seeks revenge and obstructs my father's advancement, it will inevitably cause endless trouble in the future.
It would be better if I deliberately expressed my dissatisfaction with my father, mother, and brothers, and pretended to surrender to Concubine Jiang. However, my father and mother were afraid of Concubine Jiang's power and dared not speak out.
In this way, Concubine Jiang felt that she had gotten an advantage and had seen the joke of the Xie family, so she naturally would not make things difficult for her father's promotion.
I wonder what father thinks?"
These words went straight into Xie Yun's heart, making him swallow back all the anger that was stuck in his throat.
He had this thought in mind when Xie Xiu mentioned the matter of Concubine Jiang giving Enrong before, but he didn't dare to tell Xie Xiu directly, for fear that Xie Xiu would think too much and really feel resentment towards him.
So he specifically sought out Chen Fang to discuss the matter, intending to give Xie Xiu some benefits first, and then mention this matter to him, so that Xie Xiu would agree obediently.
Who would have thought that Xie Xiu would actually bring it up on his own initiative.
Xie Yun was excited, but he couldn't help but feel suspicious: Was Xie Xiu sincere, or was he trying to take advantage of the situation?
He stared at Xie Xiu's face, unwilling to miss even the slightest change on his face: "You know, if your reputation is damaged, your future career will definitely be affected."
Xie Xiu looked at him calmly, "Gou Jian slept on firewood and tasted gall, Han Xin suffered humiliation under the crotch, these can be passed down as legends. I am just temporarily following the enemy, so what should I be afraid of?
Moreover, if my father can be promoted to Prime Minister and my brothers pass the imperial examination, their future will be limitless. Now that I have made sacrifices for the family, will my father and brothers abandon me in the future?
Xie Yun's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, he felt a little guilty when he was looked at by Xie Xiu's dark eyes.
He couldn't help but look away and coughed dryly: "You are right, your brothers and I will certainly not ignore you in the future.
But you have to be sensible. Even if you have to pretend to be at odds, don't go too far. When you go to the Imperial College, you can't fight with your brothers inside, understand?"
Xie Xiu agreed obediently: "Don't worry, father. I know my limits and will never act rashly." He would only take action when he got the chance.
Xie Yun thought of the fair and smooth skin of Xie Yi and Xie Xin, patted his shoulder with satisfaction, and a rare smile appeared on his face: "I have always known that you are a good brother! You did the right thing this time. You were very measured and didn't leave any scars on them."
Xie Xiu: “???”
Didn’t he leave scars on Xie Yi and Xie Xin?
Was it because he was too gentle, or were those two people so gifted that it was not easy for them to leave marks even after being whipped?
Thinking of this possibility, Xie Xiu suddenly became eager: How about trying again next time?
Xie Yun did not stay too long. After praising Xie Xiu, he told him what he should and should not do when he went to the Imperial College tomorrow. Seeing that he remembered everything, he left with satisfaction.
After he left, Tu Jiaojiao immediately ran to Xie Xiu worriedly and asked, "Is he here to call you to task? Did he bully you?"
Xie Xiu laughed sarcastically: "It's okay, those two people didn't seem to have any scars on their bodies, so he felt that I was very measured this time, and he was very satisfied."
Tu Jiaojiao looked at him in surprise: "How did you manage to not leave any scars on them? Were you so gentle this time?"
Xie Xiu frowned in confusion. "This is a bit strange. I clearly hit them hard, but I didn't expect there wouldn't be any marks left on their bodies."
Tu Jiaojiao speculated: "Could it be that they are too thick-skinned?"
Xie Xiu inexplicably thought of Xie Ying.
This matter was indeed a bit unusual, and Xie Ying was a bit mysterious.
Is it because of her?
But Yingying is still a baby, how could she have such amazing skills?
Xie Xiu thought for a moment and said, "It's not clear yet, but you must take good care of Yingying from now on. I'm going to the Imperial College tomorrow, and it will be just you and the children here, so be careful."
Tu Jiaojiao nodded solemnly, a murderous look on her face: "If they dare to hurt my child, I won't be polite to them!"
On the other side, Xie Ying lay happily in her own cradle, touched the fragrant little bud with satisfaction, and fed it a trace of wood-type ability: Well done this time!
Xiangxiang proudly raised her little buds and said: That’s right, I’m the best!
Xie Ying smiled with her eyes curved, and planned to ask Xiangxiang to add some spices to the two people later so that they could have a good dream.
Since he was beaten, it’s not surprising to have nightmares, right?
The next morning, Xie Xiu took his luggage and boarded a carriage, and went to the Imperial College with Xie Yi and Xie Xin.
Xie Yi and Xie Xin had learned from Xie Yun the previous night that Xie Xiu was also going to the Imperial College. They were so angry that they couldn't sleep well the whole night and kept having nightmares.
So when they saw Xie Xiu today, both of them were in a very bad mood.
However, Xie Yi was not as impulsive as Xie Xin. Apart from a somewhat cold attitude, there was no expression of abnormality on his face.
Xie Xin, however, refused to hide his feelings at all, and his expression became extremely ugly as soon as he saw Xie Xiu.
After getting into the carriage, he sneered at Xie Xiu without any hesitation: "Do you think you are worthy enough to enter the Imperial College?"
Unexpectedly, Xie Xiu gave him a cold smile as well: "You didn't feel the beating you received yesterday was enough. Are you itching for more?"
Xie Xin was so frightened by these words that his heart trembled instantly. He shrank his body unconsciously and stared at Xie Xiu with a wary look on his face.
It wasn't until Xie Xiu got off the carriage halfway that he breathed a sigh of relief. With a look of fear on his face, he pulled Xie Yi and said, "Brother, the plague god is finally gone!"
Unexpectedly, Xie Yi frowned slightly and asked, "Why did he get off the bus midway?"
"This..." Xie Xin's heart instantly tightened. "Could it be that he's planning to do something shameful behind our backs? How about we follow him and see for ourselves? As long as we can catch him, we'll see how he can turn things around in the future!"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and even his originally handsome face was distorted like a demon.
