Su Yan caught up with Xie Xianyu and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry all of a sudden?"

Su Yan and he have been friends for many years, and he could see Xie Xianyu's emotions.

It should be said that this was the first time in all these years that he had seen Xie Xianyu so in control. He was always in control, everything was under his control, and very few things could stir up his emotions.

Su Yan was completely confused. He didn't get angry when he was investigating a case in Jiangnan and was assassinated by a group of killers arranged by local officials. Why was he angry with a few scholars for no reason now?

"Nothing." Xie Xianyu's tone was indifferent, but the hostility in his eyes did not dissipate.

"So what are you going to do now?"

"Lecture."

"Your hand is still bleeding!"

Xie Xianyu looked down and found that the blood on his palm had stained his sleeves. The silver-gray brocade was stained with blood, which was extremely dazzling.

-

The candidates were all waiting in the front hall. Xie Xianyu arrived a quarter of an hour late. He changed into a clean robe, wrapped a brocade handkerchief around his wrist, and began to lecture as usual.

Lin Han and others arrived a little later and sat in the back.

Ma Chongshan couldn't help but whisper to Lin Han, "I've heard that Master Xie was gentle and kind, but seeing him today, he seems a bit cold."

Lin Han looked at Xie Xianyu from a distance with some shock, his face pale. The Xie Xianyu he saw just now was a hundred times more sinister than he is now.

Maybe he saw it wrong.

After an hour of lecture, Xie Xianyu left the clan school and returned to the Xie Mansion.

The carriage stopped outside the Xie Mansion. Xie Xianyu got off and strode into the mansion. Qing'an could already sense the gloomy aura of his master and was so frightened that he dared not breathe the whole time.

"Call Xu Wanruo."

Xie Xianyu's voice was cold and desolate, like a cold kiln that had been there for thousands of years.

Qing'an shuddered with fear and immediately agreed: "Yes!"

Qing'an ran away quickly and headed for Qiu Shui Courtyard.

"Where's your cousin? Call her quickly."

Ding Dong lowered his voice and said, "Keep your voice down. The girl is taking a nap."

"Sir, please let the girl go over." Qing'an said anxiously.

Ding Dong rarely saw Qing An so anxious, so he was puzzled: "What's the matter?"

"Young Master seems unhappy today, just go and call him!"

Ding Dong didn't dare to delay any longer, so he went into the room and woke Wan Ruo up: "Miss, Miss."

Wan Ruo woke up hazily: "Hmm?"

"The eldest master asked the young lady to go to Songhe Garden. The young lady should get up first."

Wanruo frowned. Why was he so troublesome?

Ding Dong whispered, "I heard from Qing'an that the eldest master doesn't seem very happy."

What does it have to do with her if he is unhappy?

Wanruo still climbed out of the bed with a wooden face. She had a miserable life and deserved to be the butt of a punching bag!

After a simple make-up, Wanruo went to Songhe Garden.

"The master is in the study in the waterside pavilion, please go in quickly, young lady."

Wanruo paused outside the study door. Thinking that he was in a bad mood, she decided to avoid bad luck and be cautious to avoid suffering any unexpected disaster.

She took a deep breath, walked in slowly, and smiled: "Cousin."

Xie Xianyu sat in the armchair, looking at her gravely. The sinister aura around him almost made it hard to breathe in the entire room.

Wanruo's heart suddenly tightened. What happened to him?

His voice was cold and without warmth: "Are you hiding something from me?"
