When they arrived at a small courtyard, someone came out and took over the task of leading the way. The group quietly passed through the house in front, with Xu Yao following behind Xu Di into the middle courtyard of the three-section courtyard.

The courtyard was quite large. The middle section consisted of three main rooms and two side rooms. Xu Di and Xu Yao followed the silent man into the side room on the east side.

The side room was a separate room without any lights on, but there were some small holes in the wall connecting it to the main room, so light could come through and the room wasn't too dark.

Xu Yao heard people talking inside the house, and the voices were quite frivolous and indecent.

Xu Di pulled Xu Yao's arm and led her to the wall. Looking through the holes at the other side, Xu Yao saw several men with bare chests, drinking and laughing.

Xu Yao was startled and immediately turned around. She understood the principle of not looking at what is improper, but then she thought that Xu Di had gone to great lengths to bring her here, so there must be a reason. She looked up at Xu Di and saw that he was looking at the other side expressionlessly, so she suppressed her impatience and looked at the other side through a hole.

Upon closer inspection, Xu Yao's heart leaped into her throat. She had spotted Yang Siying, the heir of the Yang family.

However, Yang Siying at this moment was not the impeccably dressed and gentle woman she usually was. She had taken off the hairpin in her hair, and her long black hair was casually draped down. After removing her outer garment, she had also opened the front of her white inner garment, revealing her fair chest.

Xu Yao blushed, but forced herself to continue watching. Xu Di was quite impressed with his bold younger sister. Most girls wouldn't be able to keep watching like Xu Yao after seeing such a scene.

Yang Siying was talking loudly with several people dressed similarly to her, and several handsome young men were serving her. Xu Yao saw that the men with Yang Siying looked extraordinary, and she even recognized one of them, who was also from a noble family. Seeing the men serving her, Xu Yao already had a guess about this courtyard. She never expected that Xu Di would bring her here to see a face like Yang Siying.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao looked up at Xu Di. Xu Di nodded to her. Xu Yao sighed softly, feeling as if a shackle that had been weighing on her heart had suddenly disappeared. The obsession that had been troubling her vanished instantly. No matter how much Xu Yao longed for love, she would not be devoted to a two-faced person. Moreover, judging from Yang Siying's expression and his attitude towards the men serving him, Xu Yao felt that Yang Siying must have some quirks that she was unaware of.

Seeing that Xu Yao was no longer looking, Xu Di walked towards the door. Xu Yao looked back again and followed Xu Di out the door.

As before, Xu Di and Xu Yao were escorted out of the house quietly, just like when they arrived.

The carriage from the mansion was waiting right next to the gate. After Xu Di helped Xu Yao into the carriage, he got in himself, told the coachman to return to the mansion, and then sat down in the carriage.

Xu Yao sat quietly with a frown, seemingly lost in thought. After walking quite a distance, Xu Di asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Xu Yao said, "Brother, do you think Aunt Shao knows about Yang Siying? Cousin Siyan is her precious daughter, how could she bear to let Cousin Siyan marry such a person?"

Xu Di said, "For many people, marriage is sometimes a bargaining chip."

Xu Yao listened, paused for a moment, and then sighed, saying, "Brother, I feel so lucky that you can be my brother. Yang Siying is known in the capital for his good temper. Everyone says that Yang Siying is gentle and refined, a model of a scholar. But how could those people know that he is actually like this behind the scenes? It's not that I look down on those homosexuals, I just think that Yang Siying has deceived so many people. He is not a good person."

The little girl's face turned bright red, she must have been very angry, but she didn't know how to curse. In the end, she managed to squeeze out a sentence, "You're not a good person," which made Xu Di chuckle softly.

Xu Di said, "First of all, thank you for thinking I'm a good older brother. But everyone has their own way of living. Some people are good at living with a mask they like, while others feel that a very real life is what they like and enjoy. We can't say that someone is not a good person or that we've been deceived just because we don't accept the lifestyle they choose. That just means we have a problem with our judgment of people."

Xu Yao said, "It really is my own fault, elder brother. I always thought Yang Siying was different from others, but who knew he would be such a person, even better than the brothers in our household."

Xu Di joked, "What's wrong with the brothers in our household? They're the best brothers in the family. Putting everything else aside, when the sisters in our household have any problems, don't these brothers always rush to step up? Don't think they're too young to be of much use. People always grow up eventually, don't they?"

Seeing that Xu Yao's expression was not good, Xu Di said, "Fourth sister, if you are sad, just cry here. When we return to the manor, this matter will be over. You can do whatever you need to do from now on."

Xu Yao said, "Why would I cry? I feel really uncomfortable right now. Oh well, I won't say anything more. What's past is past, that's the truth."

Xu Yao was, after all, a girl raised in the Marquis's mansion. No matter how respectful she was to Xu Di, she still had a bit of an arrogant nature. The way she was pouting and sitting in the carriage made Xu Di feel that this kind of girl had a distinct personality, which was how a girl should be.

When they reached the alley in front of the Marquis's mansion, Xu Yao sighed and said, "Brother, I'm only telling you these things. I don't want to tell my mother. I feel like my eyes are blinded by dog ​​shit, and I can't distinguish right from wrong. Fortunately, my mother never gave up on me and found a way to straighten me out. I will never be like this again."

Xu Di said, "To know one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue. Fourth sister, just remember one thing: in this world, everyone is capable of betraying you, except your mother. Your mother is the person who loves you most in this world. You may not understand or even accept some of her actions now, but her starting point is always for your own good, because you have little life experience. Your mother, on the other hand, has so much life experience. You can't distinguish right from wrong, but she can. She doesn't go along with you because she can't bear to see you hit a wall and doesn't want to see you get hurt by reality."
