The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener took it to heart. Su Xinguang felt very upset.

Oops, I have been acting too mature and steady these days.

Su Xinyang began to reflect on himself and decided to be more careful in front of his family and not be too presumptuous.

Otherwise, being regarded as a demon by your family would be...

Things like rebirth are too unbelievable.

Previously, he thought that A Niang and the others were also reborn, but in the past few days, he came to Su's house and asked his mother indirectly about the mob and why they left early. But his mother's behavior was too normal, which made him look a little abnormal.

Especially when his mother looked at him suspiciously and asked why he asked such a stupid question, he was so scared that he dared not say anything.

This caused him to doubt whether his previous guess was wrong.

After all, it would be too hasty to judge that they were reborn simply because they left early.

His mother was normal, but his sister was better than before and even knew how to practice boxing. After careful inquiry, he found out that she had learned it secretly, which made him a little uncertain now.

Forget it, let’s just stay alive for now!

This is safer.

When I really can't hide it anymore, I will tell the truth to my parents and elder sister. I just hope they can accept it and not regard me as a demon.

After leaving Su's house, Su Xinyang went to a study.

This study is located on a branch in the south of the city, in a relatively remote location, and those who come here to buy books are all students from nearby.

According to my memories from my previous life, the travel book was found in this study.

"Boss, do you have any interesting travel notes in your shop?"

"Yes, there are a lot of travel notes." The shopkeeper saw that the person asking the question was a boy, but he did not look down on him. Just by looking at his clothes, he knew that he was a rich man.

"Then you help me get it."

"Okay."

There were not many guests in the study today. There were only a few poor scholars reading books here quietly without disturbing others.

The shopkeeper came out from behind the counter and took down several travel books from the bookshelf.

"Look, which one do you want?"

Su Xinyang took it and looked at it one by one. None of them were what he wanted. "They are all common goods. Are there any newer ones or those with a longer history?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, there are some, but not many. I'll look for them for you."

The shopkeeper walked to the bookshelf in the corner and took out several old travelogues from the bottom. These books were sold by others at a very low price. At first, he thought they were old and the contents were quite novel, so he accepted them. Unexpectedly, no one was interested in them.

"Take a look at this basic book, what do you think?"

Su Xinyang flipped through the books one by one, and when he saw the title of the last book - "Xiao Tan's Travels", his eyes lit up.

That's it!

Su Xinyang calmly said to the shopkeeper: "I want all of these. How much?"

"Not much, not much, just twenty taels."

Su Xinyang didn't bargain and directly took out two silver ingots and handed them to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper packed up the books and said with a smile, "Come again next time, young master."

Su Xinyang waved at the shopkeeper.

If you want to hand the prescription to Duke Su, you can't just say it, but you have to take something out and let people see it, so that it will be convincing.

If the same rhetoric I used to tell my elder sister were to be presented to Duke Su, even if he didn't say anything, he would definitely be suspicious.

His identity was not legitimate to begin with, and if he aroused the suspicion of Duke Su, it would be more trouble than gain.

To be on the safe side, you have to say something meaningful.

After buying the books, Su Xinyang carried them back to the Duke's Mansion. The doorman saw the young master coming back with a pile of books and hurried forward to help, but was rejected.

"No need, it's useless for a man to ask for such a small thing."

After Su Xinyang declined, he carried a pile of books back to his courtyard.

Duke Su Guohao, who had just returned from outside, heard these words and looked at his grandson with a little more pleasing eyes than before.

Su Xinyang naturally noticed the Duke Su in the rear, and those words were said intentionally for the other party to hear.

After returning to his own courtyard, Su Xinyang instructed the servant in the courtyard: "This young master wants to read a book, please don't disturb me if you have nothing to do."

"Yes, Master."

Su Xinyang immediately opened "Xiao Tan's Travels" and read through it one by one. When he was halfway through the book, he finally saw the plot where the protagonist encountered a plague in an ancient village.

After he carefully read the chapter on the plague, he finally felt relieved.

The servants serving in the yard were very pleased to see that the young master had not come out since he entered and that he looked so diligent in his studies.

As servants, they naturally hope that their masters can make progress. Only when their masters make progress can they have a future.

If the master is a playboy and causes trouble, the ones who suffer will be those who serve him.

"It's getting late. It's time to eat."

Several servants pushed each other and no one dared to disturb the young master for fear of being scolded by him.

When they were about to use rock-paper-scissors to decide the candidate, the study door opened and Su Xinyang came out by himself.

When they arrived at the inner hall (i.e. the dining area), several aunts had already arrived. Su Xinyang called them over one by one, and finally called Xie Sanlang's wife "stepmother".

He is now being raised under the name of Xie Sanlang's wife and is nominally the legitimate grandson.

The aunt liked the well-behaved Su Xinyang very much, and asked him to sit down, "Why are you so late today?"

"Replying to Auntie, I was just reading in the study room and was so engrossed in it that I forgot the time."

"Oh, Heling is a good student. I like my children to read more."

Her two sons liked to play with swords and guns, and they never came back.

How nice it would be to be a scholar.

Now seeing that Su Xinyang likes reading, I am naturally happy.

Without him, this Duke's Mansion would have no one to inherit it and would be completely disbanded.

Fortunately, there is still this one unique child, and he will be the one to support the Duke's Mansion in the future.

While they were talking, the old lady and the Duke arrived, and all the daughters-in-law and Su Xinyang stood up to greet them.

"Everyone, please sit down."

Everyone noticed that the father-in-law looked unhappy and seemed to be troubled. They all thought of the recent plague in the capital city, which had caused panic among the people.

The old lady felt sorry for her husband when she saw him put down his chopsticks after taking a few bites. She consoled him, "You are a reckless man. It is useless for you to worry about the plague. The plague will be handled by other officials in the court."

Old Madam Xie almost pointed at his nose and said, you are just worrying about nothing.

Su Xinyang seized the opportunity and asked, "Grandfather, what are the symptoms of the plague?"

There are rumors of plague outside now. Some say there will be high fever, some say there will be convulsions in the limbs, and some say there will be alternating hot and cold temperatures. In short, everyone has a different story, and the people who have been to the capital have not seen it with their own eyes, so most of them are just rumors.

Seeing that everyone in the family was curious, Xie Guogong said, "Anyone infected will have unbearable itching all over the body, and red lumps will appear on the body, accompanied by high fever. In severe cases, they will foam at the mouth and fall into a coma."
