He wasn't mistaken.
Two maids who had just finished delivering snacks and left were whispering to each other on the deserted road.
"This fifth young lady is so grown up, how come she doesn't care about the difference between men and women, hugging and cuddling with the second young master?"
"Yes, I didn't pay attention before. But last night, I read in Sister Cuizhu's storybook that my brother was scolded by the princess for being unfaithful and seducing him just for wiping away Yu'er's tears! The Fifth Miss's behavior..."
"Yes, yes, yes! The book that Sister Mo Ran lent me, the fake princess and the second prince only dared to secretly love each other after they confirmed their love... How did the fifth young lady and the second young master..."
The two maids chattered amongst themselves. In fact, it wasn't just them; they had already heard from the other servants in the mansion that the Fifth Miss and the Fourth Young Master were also quite dissolute! They hadn't expected that the Second Young Master was the same!
What are you talking about?
"Ah! Fourth Young Master!"
"We...we were just talking nonsense..."
Wenren Yang frowned as he looked at the two maids kneeling on the ground: "What storybook? Hand it over!"
"This..." The two maids were unsure whether they could really hand it over.
"Gossiping about our master behind his back? Do you want me to tell Mother what happened today?" Wenren Yang, the young master, brought out his imposing presence when addressing the two servants.
Now, the two maids had no choice but to be handed over.
Soon, Wenren Yang had two more storybooks in his hands: "The Marquis's Adopted Daughter Runs Away with a Baby: Forced to Escape Their Forced Custody" and "The Fake Princess Became the Darling of the Group."
Wenren Yang: ? ? ?
What the hell is this thing?
He took the collected storybooks back to his courtyard and randomly picked one to read...
Time passed without anyone noticing, until a servant came to ask.
"Fourth Young Master, it's time for dinner."
"I'm not going." Wenren Yang, who was engrossed in watching, glanced at the darkening sky outside and said indifferently.
He's already at the Golden Core stage, so not eating won't affect him.
The servant went to report to Madam Wenren, who was having her meal. Wenren Xue, who was also at the table, asked in surprise, "Is Fourth Brother feeling unwell? Why isn't he eating?"
"Why should Xue'er care about him? Perhaps she feels guilty for not protecting you and is too ashamed to come here," Wenren Yan said.
Wenren Xue didn't think much of it.
Fourth Brother, with his stubborn nature, would only stay silent for a few days before he came running over on his own.
She's been very annoyed lately. Long Ye has returned to the Dragon Palace, Long Han is avoiding her and refuses to see her, and now her fourth brother is throwing a tantrum. She has no interest in caring about that.
Little did they know, Wenren Yang spent the whole night reading storybooks in the courtyard.
Looking up again... it was dark?
The servant boy stood anxiously at the door: "Fourth Young Master, you haven't left your room all day!"
"..."
Wenren Yang felt that what the two maids said made some sense. His hand unconsciously touched the other half of the book next to him. He looked at the title and the introduction... and his heart was moved.
It looks so good!
"Ahem... I have something to attend to, so I won't be going to dinner."
He once again roamed the ocean of knowledge!
Looking up again... it was dawn.
This storybook is relatively thin; I finished reading it in one night.
Wenren Yang was still somewhat unsatisfied, but as he recalled the words of the two maids and compared them to the storybook, he realized that... their usual way of interacting with his sister was wrong!
My sister is a girl, how can she hug and cuddle like brothers? That's so improper!
Wenren Yang's mind was in complete chaos. He put away the storybook and thought he would go out and look around to clear his head...
To everyone's surprise, as soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Wenren Xue and Wenren Yan embracing each other.
"What are you doing!"
When he didn't understand, Wenren Yang never thought there was anything wrong with it.
After reading the two storybooks, he clearly understood the proper way for siblings to interact. One passage in the story, featuring a female antagonist, explicitly stated that even the closest siblings in childhood would unconsciously maintain a distance as adults. This wasn't about estrangement; it was about a brother expressing love for his sister's reputation in many ways, but certainly not in a romantic manner!
What's wrong with you?
When he suddenly ran over and almost pushed Wenren Xue over in his arms, Wenren Yan was so angry that he wanted to teach this stupid younger brother a lesson.
“My sister is a grown woman now! Second brother, you are not her Daoist partner, you... you can’t hold her like you would any other woman!” Wenren Yang didn’t want his second brother to ruin his sister’s reputation, and besides, his second brother would have a Daoist partner in the future.
"Fourth Brother, what are you saying... We're just acting like usual, like siblings..." Wenren Xue vaguely sensed that something was out of control, but why?
Since Tianning left, nothing has happened at the Wenren residence!
"This... I don't know how to say it like this, let Mother do it!"
He's just a teenager; he has no idea how to educate a child.
In fact, if he had observed carefully in his daily life, he would have found that... Wenren Xue would never use the pretense of brotherhood and sisterhood to strengthen their relationship or overstep her bounds in front of Madam Wenren.
