“…”
Su Yan roared with laughter, his body rocking back and forth, but Xie Xianyu didn't even bat an eyelid.
Su Yan couldn't help but sigh: "You are too boring. I don't know which woman would like you."
Xie Xianyu thought of a pair of watery eyes. She snuggled into his arms with red eyes and said in a muffled voice: Brother Xianyu, you are the only one I have.
The corners of his lips lifted up slightly: "You should take care of yourself."
Su Yan looked at him and said, "I heard people say that you have a mistress in your house and you dote on her. I didn't believe it, but now it seems that there is truth to it. When can I see it for myself?"
"She is timid and doesn't like meeting strangers."
"Look at how stingy you are. It's really rare to see you cherish a woman so much in your lifetime. If you really cherish her so much, why bother getting engaged to the Jiang family?"
"She's the daughter of a merchant family, and her family background isn't good, so she can only be a concubine," Xie Xianyu pursed his lips. "She's timid and afraid of this and that. The Jiang family is weak, and I have something against her. From now on, even if Jiang enters the house, she won't dare to act rashly."
"That's why you, the children of aristocratic families, are the most troublesome. You have so many rules."
"But I'm still a concubine, and I have to watch you marry another woman. Won't I be jealous to death? Women are the most jealous. Yesterday, I just gave a silver ingot to the new girl in Wanhua Tower, and that girl Qingqing started crying and making a fuss with me. I couldn't comfort her."
Su Yan kept on babbling: "Don't be fooled by the words virtuous, gracious, and generous written in the women's rules and regulations. This woman's mind is as small as the tip of a needle."
Xie Xianyu's hand, holding the teacup, suddenly froze. She seemed to have never minded the fact that he was getting married.
His expression turned colder. "She has a good temper and never makes trouble."
"There is such a well-behaved woman?" Su Yan found it unbelievable.
Xie Xianyu pursed his lips. Sometimes she was well behaved, and sometimes not so well behaved.
But she was dependent on him. As long as she stayed in Xie's house, she rarely went out and didn't like the hustle and bustle. He was her only world.
The gloom that had just clouded Xie Xianyu's heart dissipated, and he glanced at Su Yan coldly: "What do you know?"
"Okay, okay, okay, why don't you let me tell you? I'll come back and see who is so powerful that you can pamper me like this."
There was a commotion coming from downstairs in the attic. Xie Xianyu turned around and looked outside, where several scholars had come to visit the attic.
"This Xie Clan Academy is truly magnificent! I can't believe it's a clan academy. It's several times larger than any other academy!"
"The Xie family has always placed great emphasis on the education of their descendants. All members of the Xie family, even those from side branches, can study at the family academy. Countless people from the capital come here to study, and the teachers are even Jinshi graduates. How can ordinary academies compare?"
"Let's go. In a quarter of an hour, Master Xie will start his lecture. If we hurry over, we can get a good seat."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became excited and rushed over quickly, but unexpectedly someone pushed the person in front of them, causing Lan Shanjuzi to stagger and almost fall to the ground.
"I'm so sorry, I was so anxious just now. Brother Lin, are you okay?"
Lin Han straightened his robe and said with a smile, "It's okay."
Xie Xianyu glanced at the man named Lin Han, his eyes slightly narrowed. He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen this person somewhere.
Someone suddenly picked up a sachet on the ground and asked jokingly, "Hey, Lin Han, which girl gave you this sachet?"
When Lin Han saw the sachet, his face immediately turned red and he rushed to grab it: "Is this it!"
"Why not? We're from the same hometown. I haven't seen you use sachets on this trip. It must be a girl who gave it to you. I'm saying, you're so quiet all day long. You didn't even go when I asked you to go out for drinks, and you actually secretly gave and received sachets with the girl behind our backs?"
Xie Xianyu's gaze fell on the sachet that the man held high, and his clear eyes instantly became gloomy.
