Chapter 99 tricked them.
After Xie Yi left, someone came up to Xie Xiu curiously and looked at the storybook in his hand: "Brother Keji, is this storybook good?"
Keji was Xie Xiu's courtesy name. After he arrived at the Imperial College, everyone called him by that courtesy name. Xie Yi and Xie Xin would usually call him "Big Brother," but when Xie Xin got angry, he would simply call him "Xie Xiu."
In the past, he would shout behind people's backs, but this time he thought he had something on Xie Xiu, so he dared to shout "Xie Xiu" loudly.
Who knew that when he successfully attracted the people around him, he found that he had made a big mistake in the end and had seriously offended Jiang Er, so he could only escape in embarrassment.
Naturally, those who gathered around did not dare to be as rude as Xie Xin, so they all politely addressed Xie Xiu by his given name.
Xie Xiu smiled politely and said, "I haven't read this storybook yet, but Young Master Jiang said the stories in it are very interesting. If you want to read it, I can lend it to you. Anyway, I have to go home later and don't have time to read the storybook at all."
"Really? Thank you so much!" The student was overjoyed. "Don't worry, Brother Keji. I will take good care of this book. After I finish reading it, I will definitely return it intact!"
Xie Xiu handed him the book with a smile, and after a few polite words, he bowed and said goodbye to everyone.
As soon as he walked away, the rest of the people immediately gathered together and looked through the book curiously.
They already liked reading storybooks, and today's storybook was Jiang Er's favorite. Because of this storybook, Xie Xin even caused a big fuss and was blackmailed by Jiang Er for a hundred taels of silver, so they had to read it even more!
Everyone opened the storybook curiously, and the more they read, the more addicted they became.
On the other hand, after Xie Xiu left the Imperial College, he immediately took a carriage back to Xiaoxiang Courtyard in the Xie Mansion.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Tu Jiaojiao sitting next to the cradle, rocking the cradle and fanning the two children.
Xie Tang sat by the window reading a book.
Seeing him, Tu Jiaojiao immediately stood up excitedly and wanted to greet him, but Xie Xiu strode over.
While looking at the two children, he asked softly, "How are the children?"
Tu Jiaojiao stared at him anxiously, "The children are all fine. Are you tired? How have you been in the Imperial College these days? Did those people bully you?"
Xie Tang also put down the book in his hand and ran over to look at Xie Xiu eagerly: "Dad, why did you come back just now?"
Xie Xiu smiled and patted his head. "Did you study hard during the time Daddy was away? Did you take care of your mother and your younger siblings?"
Xie Tang immediately puffed out his chest and said, "Of course I studied hard. I also fed my sister every day and read to her. My sister likes me very much now!"
At the end of his words, he blushed a little shyly.
Xie Xiu couldn't help but feel a little jealous: "You said Yingying likes you the most? Are you sure?"
Xie Tang was a little unconvinced and a little guilty, his eyes wandering: "I... of course I'm sure! My sister kissed me!"
Xie Ying in the cradle couldn't help but roll her eyes: [It was just an accidental touch, that's why I didn't kiss her.]
Xie Xiu looked at Xie Tang with a half-smile, and Xie Tang's face instantly turned red, and he looked at Xie Ying with aggrieved eyes.
Xie Ying was confused and asked, "Brother, why are you looking at me? But brother looks so handsome right now, his eyes are so watery, as if he's about to cry at any moment."
Xie Tang suddenly couldn't cry anymore: "!!!"
Xie Xiu, however, was in a good mood and picked up his daughter. While teasing her, he asked Tu Jiaojiao, "How's the shop going? Did you give it to that woman?"
Tu Jiaojiao got angry when he mentioned the shop: "He gave me a shop and told me to try it out first. But when I went to see it, I found out that the shop had been rented out at a low price due to poor management.
Although the shop is still ours, the owner has long since changed. The key point is that the shop just recently renewed its ten-year lease. Not only is the rent low, but if we break the contract, we will have to pay ten times the compensation!
What can I do? Unless we can find something to hold against them, if we break the contract, not only will we have to pay you money, but your reputation will also be affected, and they will say you don't value integrity!"
Xie Xiu sneered: "I knew that woman wouldn't be honest."
"Of course she's not being honest! Do you know when they renewed their contract? It should have been shortly after your news reached the capital!"
Tu Jiaojiao grew angrier as she spoke, "That woman must have guessed you would return to the capital, so she set up a trap in advance. The current owner of that shop must be closely related to that woman!"
If she wasn't one of us, would she have rented out the shop at such a low price, signed a ten-year lease, and even agreed to pay ten times the compensation?"
At the end, Tu Jiaojiao laughed disdainfully, then said depressedly, "It's a pity that I haven't found out their relationship yet, so I can't do anything to them for now."
Xie Xiu was not worried at all: "It's okay, just leave this matter to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. They will definitely find out, so we just have to wait.
Anyway, now is not the time to completely break off relations with them and take back the things. Even if we wait for a while, there is no harm. "
Tu Jiaojiao responded softly.
She believed in Xie Xiu. Since it was not the right time yet, she would just wait patiently.
The two talked for a while, and then Xie Xiu began to check Xie Tang's homework.
After arriving in the capital, Xie Xiu found a reliable private school for Xie Tang and sent him there to study.
Every morning, Xie Tang would take a bus to the private school, and then take a bus home after school in the afternoon.
At first, Tu Jiaojiao was a little worried, fearing that his classmates would bully him, so every day when Xie Tang came home from school, she would carefully ask him and check if he had any injuries.
I was relieved to find that he got along very well with his classmates.
Xie Xiu checked Xie Tang's homework, and then went to Songheyuan to meet the old master and the old lady in person. Then he picked up Xie Rou and took Tu Jiaojiao and the children out of the house to meet Tu Yong and Liu Zhichun.
The two of them now live in the yard given by Luo Zheng, but they tell others that they are renting it to avoid arousing suspicion from Chen Fang and Xie Yun.
Xie Xiu and others had lunch at Tu's house and stayed there until evening before reluctantly returning to Xie's house.
As soon as he entered the door, the servant said that Xie Yun wanted to see Xie Xiu.
Tu Jiaojiao immediately became worried, but Xie Xiu patted her arm soothingly: "Don't worry, you take the children back first, I'll be back soon."
Sure enough, not long after she brought the children back to Xiaoxiang Courtyard, Xie Xiu came back.
Tu Jiaojiao asked him softly, "Are you okay? Have you been punished?"
Xie Xiu smiled and said, "It's okay. Xie Xin complained to the old man, but I've already dealt with it."
After a pause, he continued, "Aren't you worried about Rou'er living alone in Songheyuan? Believe me, we can bring Rou'er back the next time we have a day off."
Tu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Xie Xiu smiled and scratched her upturned nose: "When have I ever lied to you?"
Tu Jiaojiao immediately pouted in dissatisfaction: "You said your parents were both dead..."
Xie Xiu blushed and quickly covered her mouth.
In the cradle, Xie Ying rolled her eyes. "Next time I have a day off, can I bring my sister back?" So, Daddy's going to take action? And the mistress is about to make an appearance? Wow, this is getting more and more exciting.
