Chapter 56 Very Good
Xie Zhaoye stood there stunned, but quickly recovered and said with his head down, "How can she be such a bad sister? She's always so cold and never gives me a kind look!"
Xie Yankang originally thought that Xie Zhaoye simply didn't like Xie Qingran, but he never expected that his son would be so childish.
He glanced at Xie Zhaoye, shook his head helplessly, and strode outside without saying a word.
Xie Zhaoye stood there, dumbfounded, not understanding what his father's reaction meant.
Xie Hanyue understood. She quickly walked over, tugged at Xie Zhaoye's sleeve, and whispered, "Brother, you shouldn't go against Father. Since everyone doesn't like us being too close, I'll just not be close to you anymore. That way, sister won't be angry and won't gossip outside."
"I'm going to find her!"
Xie Zhaoye's anger flared up instantly, and he strode towards the Rose Garden.
Watching Xie Zhaoye's retreating figure, Xie Hanyue nodded in satisfaction. She liked Xie Zhaoye's brainless nature the most, especially when faced with situations like this, he became even more clueless.
Rose Garden.
Xie Zhaoye stormed in, only to find Xie Qingran sitting comfortably in a rocking chair in the courtyard, reading a book. She looked incredibly relaxed.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he felt uncomfortable whenever he saw Xie Qingran looking so relaxed. He strode forward and overturned the rocking chair, causing Xie Qingran to tumble off and look disheveled.
Xie Qingran was no longer the submissive little girl she once was. She grabbed a fruit knife from the side and stabbed it directly into Xie Qingran's boot. If he hadn't dodged quickly, his toes would probably have been cut off.
"You're insane!"
Xie Zhaoye stepped back repeatedly, looking at Xie Qingran in disbelief.
"I'm your own brother, how dare you treat me like this?"
Xie Qingran stood up and looked coldly at Xie Zhaoye: "You know you're my own brother, but you still treat me the same way you would. Since you're not going to be polite, why should I be?"
"polite?"
"I……"
Xie Zhaoye then realized that he had indeed been impolite first today!
His eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "If you want people to be polite to you, you'd better watch your mouth. Yue'er and I have a purely sibling relationship, not the sordid and filthy one you think we have. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll cut out your tongue, you believe me!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingran found it utterly ridiculous. Although she had long known that there was something wrong between the two of them, she had never said a word about it. This was because she was still a member of the Xie family and a daughter of the Xie family. Therefore, if such a scandalous thing happened in the Xie family, it would also affect her!
"Is it because of your own questionable behavior that people are saying these things?"
"Xie Zhaoye, please use your brain. I'm currently negotiating a marriage with the Duke of Zhenguo's family. If something like this really happens in my family, do you think I'll benefit from it? You're an idiot, but I'm not."
Xie Qingran rolled her eyes impatiently. The more she looked at this person, the angrier she became. He just didn't seem to have a brain.
Originally, Xie Qingran, having been reborn, was able to remain calm and collected, but every time she faced this person, she would get quite angry.
That can be considered one of Xie Zhaoye's skills.
Xie Zhaoye had prepared a whole host of words to teach Xie Qingran a lesson, but he never expected that Xie Qingran would become so eloquent, and he was no match for her!
"Stop talking so much. I'll just ask you, why do you always bully Yue'er?"
"The moon is delicate, why do you always find fault with her?"
Xie Zhaoye crossed his arms and got straight to the point. Anyway, talking about anything else was futile and useless, so he might as well get to the point!
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingran found it utterly ridiculous. Her eyebrows furrowed as she glared at Xie Zhaoye: "I haven't left Rose Garden since today. How could I possibly bully your precious Yue'er? Xie Zhaoye, don't spout nonsense without evidence. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind throwing you into the river to wake you up!"
After saying that, Xie Qingran waved her hand dismissively and said coldly, "Take care, don't bother seeing me out!"
"you!"
"You sharp-tongued Xie Qingran, I'd like to see what kind of ending you'll have after you actually marry Xiao Jue. Don't come back crying then!"
After saying this, Xie Zhaoye strode outside, not forgetting to glare at her angrily before leaving!
Looking at his childish behavior, Xie Qingran found it laughable. In her previous life, she had thought her brother was rather dim-witted, and now she was absolutely certain. He must have been bewitched by Xie Hanyue...
Xie Qingran knew in her heart that all the suffering she had in her previous life came from this person. Xie Hanyue seemed gentle and humble, but in fact, she was a madwoman! Every time she thought of this, Xie Qingran would grit her teeth in hatred.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, then put down the fruit knife and sat back down in the rocking chair.
"Young Miss, the young master always bullies you like this, are you just going to let him do this?"
"Of course not."
Xie Qingran smiled and looked at Baozhu.
"You have such a talkative little mouth, you must really enjoy talking and listening to storytelling, right?"
"Here, give this to the storytellers you know and let them tell the story. I want to see if they're in a hurry or not."
Xie Qingran took out two booklets and handed them to Baozhu, who was standing to the side.
Although Baozhu didn't understand what was so big about it, she still believed in Xie Qingran's methods, so she immediately nodded, turned around, and went out to get to work.
Soon, fresh stories began circulating in teahouses and tea rooms throughout the capital, all about an incestuous relationship between an adopted brother and sister.
This wouldn't have been a big deal in itself; it was just the perverse taste of a third-rate scholar. But Xie Zhaoye just wouldn't stop. He took Xie Hanyue with him wherever he went, without any regard for propriety!
Soon, everyone's eyes were on the two of them, and overnight, more than a dozen versions of the story spread like wildfire. Some even claimed to have already seen the two of them having an affair.
Just then, the Prime Minister's residence sent another invitation, inviting everyone to visit the Prime Minister's residence to see the flowers and admire the moon!
After receiving the invitation, Xie Qingran immediately beamed with joy: "This Sister-in-law Qin is really good to me. I was just thinking about this, and here she is. Great, very good!"
