Chapter 96 Didn't expect that, did you? You've been tricked again.
Xie Yi looked at Xie Xin's distorted face and couldn't help but frowning in disgust, thinking that he looked like a clown in a storybook.
So he frowned and warned unhappily, "Have you forgotten yesterday's lesson? Who taught you to talk nonsense like this?
If you still don't know how to restrain yourself when you return to the Imperial College, how will people see you?
Also, try not to mess with Xie Xiu in the future. He has wasted so many years in the countryside. Even if he enters the Imperial College now, it will be extremely difficult for him to pass the imperial examination. His future achievements are destined to be limited.
Do you think he would be willing to be trampled under our feet in the future? Think about Xie You! He was beaten like that by Xie Xiu. Do you think how much hatred Xie Xiu must have felt in his heart to use such a heavy hand?
If our parents hadn't protected us, do you think Xie Xiu would have held back when he attacked us yesterday and not dared to hit us in the face?
He's probably gone mad now, worried that he won't have another chance to attack us. You actually still want to provoke him? Didn't you think he beat you enough yesterday?
He has a limited future anyway, so he's willing to take risks. Even if he were to attack you or me in the Imperial College, what would he have to lose? The worst that could happen is he'd be expelled from the college!
If you want to be beaten and humiliated by him frequently in the future, you can jump off the carriage now and find something to hold against him!"
Xie Xin immediately lost his arrogance.
He shrank his neck in fear, but when he thought of Xie Xiu's arrogance yesterday and the fact that he would have to stay in the Imperial College with him in the future, he felt very unwilling.
"Are we going to let him get away with this and let him bully us?" Xie Xin said stubbornly, "We were clearly going to the Imperial College, but he got off the bus halfway. There's definitely something fishy going on!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Brother, don't you want to find something to hold against him and completely crush him to death, so you won't have to be controlled by others anymore?"
Xie Yi glanced at him with disdain and sneered, "Do you think Xie Xiu is a fool? He deliberately got off the carriage in front of us. Didn't he think we might catch up with him?"
Xie Xin's expression changed drastically. "So what you're saying is... he did it on purpose? He... is he deliberately setting a trap for us, waiting for us to catch up?"
"What else?" Xie Yi's face was full of sarcasm, "If he didn't want to plot against us, why would he get off the car in front of us?
Unfortunately, although he was somewhat clever, he had lost his wisdom. After all, he had stayed in the countryside for too long, and the ignorance of the villagers had long since corrupted his bright mind.
He's been so obvious, how could I fall for his trick? No matter what he's planning this time, if I don't cooperate, he'll get nothing!"
Xie Xin was so excited after hearing this that he immediately gave a thumbs up and praised him, "Brother is indeed smart! Xie Xiu has half the blood of a lowly merchant, how can he compare to you?"
He's probably still waiting for us to take the bait, so let him wait patiently. Let's go to the Imperial College first and see how long he can wait!"
Xie Yi curled his lips proudly, obviously very pleased with Xie Xin's praise.
However, Xie Xin quickly gritted his teeth and said, "But we can't keep hiding from him, can we? Who the hell is he? Is he worthy of our constant vigilance?"
"Of course I can't hide from him forever. Isn't he going to enter the Imperial College? There are many royal relatives in the Imperial College, especially Concubine Jiang's brother, who is a notorious arrogant playboy in the capital.
Didn't Xie Xiu receive the grace of Concubine Jiang to enter the Imperial College? Do you think he could still stay in the Imperial College if he offended Jiang Er?
Upon hearing this, Xie Xin's eyes lit up instantly. "Jiang Er is not only petty, but also arrogant, domineering, and ruthless! If Xie Xiu offends him, he will definitely not end well."
He became more and more excited as he spoke: "I think this matter can be carefully planned. If it is operated well, not only can we use Jiang Er to get rid of Xie Xiu, but we can also smoothly promote my father to the position of Prime Minister!
His Majesty dotes on Concubine Jiang. If Xie Xiu dies at Jiang Er's hands, His Majesty will certainly be reluctant to punish Jiang Er. In this case, he will naturally give his father many benefits to comfort his father's grief over the loss of his son!
Xie Yi smiled confidently, "Now you know why I told you not to provoke him? Why would we need to personally deal with a lunatic like that?"
Xie Xin nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and couldn't help but offer another round of flattery: "I was impulsive before, but brother is smart. I will listen to you from now on!"
Xie Yi smiled calmly, showing the demeanor of a gentleman.
Unexpectedly, Xie Xin's expression suddenly changed!
He looked at Xie Xin in surprise, and saw him suddenly scratch his arm, and then screamed out: "Ah!"
Xie Yi's face changed drastically, and he quickly grabbed Xie Xin's arm: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Unexpectedly, Xie Xin screamed even louder and pushed him aside: "Ah - don't touch me -"
Xie Yi narrowed his eyes and saw him scratching his body and then screaming. He quickly pounced on him and lifted up his sleeves.
Then I saw many crisscrossing scars and scratches on Xie Xin's fair arms.
His face turned pale with horror!
Those crisscrossing scars did not break the skin. Judging from their shapes, they were clearly the marks left when Xie Xiu whipped them yesterday.
But yesterday, neither he nor Xie Xin had any scars on their bodies. Why did they suddenly appear on Xie Xin's body now?
Could it be that Xie Xiu did something?
Yesterday, he and Xie Xin were beaten together. Now Xie Xin has scars on his body. So, is he also...
Xie Yi was so frightened that he quickly lifted up his sleeves, but saw that his arms were still as white as jade, without any marks.
He touched it nervously, but still found nothing unusual.
Why is this happening?
He looked at Xie Xin again, only to see Xie Xin staring at his fair and smooth arms in disbelief.
Xie Yi's heart tightened when he was looked at by his dark eyes, and he quickly lowered his sleeves to cover his arms.
Unexpectedly, Xie Xin rushed in front of him, ripped open his sleeve, grabbed his arm and asked, "Brother, why don't you have any scars on your body?"
His tone was so aggressive that Xie Yi couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.
He lowered his eyes and said coldly, "It must be Xie Xiu who did something and secretly drugged us, but I haven't reacted yet. It's also possible that Xie Xiu is trying to sow discord between us. We must not fall into his trap!"
"Really?" Xie Xin looked at Xie Yi suspiciously. Even though he believed in Xie Yi's judgment, the burning pain all over his body made him jealous.
Why did he have scars on his body, but Xie Yi was fine?
Even if Xie Xiu wanted to sow discord, why was he the one who suffered and not Xie Yi?
Xie Xin shivered in pain: "Brother, it hurts so much!"
Xie Yi's face was gloomy: "Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the clinic right away!"
Since Xie Xiu dared to plot against them like this, don't blame him for exposing the matter and letting everyone in the capital see how Xie Xiu harmed his own brother!
Xie Yi asked the driver to go to the largest medical clinic in the capital, then rushed in with Xie Xin on his side, looking anxious: "Where is the doctor? My brother was beaten! He's in terrible pain now!"
He shouted loudly, and seeing many people gathered in the clinic, he immediately pulled up Xie Xin's sleeve.
Then everyone was stunned!
There were only a few slightly broken scratches on Xie Xin's fair arms, and no other marks.
This is called being beaten and it hurts a lot?
Everyone looked at Xie Yi and Xie Xin strangely.
Xie Yi's face, full of anxiety and worry, instantly cracked: "!!!"
Xie Xin was also full of questions: "???"
Why isn't he in pain anymore?
And what about his injury? How come it's gone again?
Meanwhile, Xie Xiu handed a manuscript to the person opposite him: "I hope this book can be printed and sold as soon as possible."
