I was switched at birth after transmigrating into a book, but I used my superpowers to wreak havoc!

Chapter 98: Another Slap in the Face, the Chapter's Turmoil

Jiang Er was so angry that he yelled, "Xie Si, are you fucking sick? Return the book to me right now!"

Xie Xin sneered, "Don't think I don't know what kind of filthy things you guys have! I was right. You guys are the ones behind those albums circulating privately in the Imperial College!"

He clutched the book tightly in his hand and cursed Xie Xiu again, "Xie Xiu! I treated you as my own brother, yet you did something so shameful to our family behind my back and my third brother's back. I wonder how you're going to explain this to the commander!"

Jiang Er's expression turned extremely gloomy, and he shouted, "Xie Si, I asked you to return the book to me!"

At this time, Xie Yi walked over, and many people nearby were attracted by the movement here.

Xie Yi stretched out his hand towards Xie Xin: "Give me the book."

Xie Xin glared at Xie Xiu and Jiang Er warily, as if afraid they might snatch the book away. Then he carefully handed the book to Xie Yi: "Brother, be careful! We finally caught them with evidence, we can't let them snatch it back!"

Xie Yi glanced at Xie Xiu and Jiang Er indifferently, took the book, stepped back a few steps, and then began to examine it carefully.

There are only four words written on the cover of the book: "Mandarin Ducks' Strange Dreams". It is very straightforward and one can roughly guess what the story is at a glance.

He turned back again and was immediately stunned.

The book actually did not contain the secret pictures that he and Xie Xin had thought, but neat text.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that this was not a picture album, but a storybook!

Xie Yi was shocked and couldn't help but look at Xie Xiu. Seeing him standing there with a cold face, not at all panicked, he suddenly had a very bad premonition.

He and Xie Xin wanted to find something to hold against Xie Xiu, but now it seems that not only will they fail to find anything to hold against Xie Xiu, they might even end up making a fool of themselves.

Xie Yi's heart sank, but he still did not give up and carefully read the contents of the book.

If the book was about his and Xie Xin's "scandal", they could turn the tables.

Unfortunately, after seeing this, Xie Yi's heart sank completely.

The book does not describe the forbidden love between two brothers, but a very common story of a poor scholar marrying a rich girl, but after graduating from high school, he changed his heart and married another noble lady.

Xie Yi had read countless clichéd stories like this, so after flipping through it, he quickly lost interest.

At this moment, Jiang Er snorted in displeasure, "Xie Yi, you always act like a gentleman, so righteous. I never thought that after hanging out with Xie Xin, you would actually resort to robbery!"

Xie Xin quickly defended his brother: "Jiang Er, stop talking nonsense. I only snatched it away because I suspected you and Xie Xiu were looking at something dirty. It has nothing to do with my third brother!"

After saying that, he stretched his neck to look at the book in Xie Yi's hand and deliberately asked loudly, "Third brother, tell me, what kind of shameful and filthy things are in this book? Is it slandering us?"

Xie Yi looked at the people around him who were attracted by his loud voice, and his forehead veins throbbed with anger. He quickly scolded, "Stop talking nonsense! This is just an ordinary storybook."

Xie Xin was stunned when he heard this, but he still snatched the book away and flipped through it frantically. As expected, he saw that it was a clichéd story about a poor scholar who became rich but was abandoned by his wife in order to marry a rich man.

"How could this happen?" He widened his eyes in disbelief, but still refused to give up, so he searched frantically, trying to find what was hidden inside.

But I can't find it.

There was no paper slipped into the book, nor was there the secret play picture he thought it was, or even any handwriting.

It is a brand new storybook, and the binding is very beautiful. It is obviously a hardcover edition and is of great value.

He was still flipping through the book desperately, but Jiang Er suddenly reached out and snatched the book back from his hand.

Then he cursed angrily: "Xie Si! You broke all my books, hurry up and pay me!"

Xie Xin was speechless: "Isn't it just a broken book? I'll compensate you!"

After saying this, he quickly took out a piece of silver from his purse and handed it to Jiang Er: "Here is about one or two taels of silver. It's definitely enough to buy your book, right?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Er slapped the silver coins in his hand and said, "One or two ounces of silver? Are you treating a beggar like that? Do you know how rare this book is? This is a hardcover manuscript! There are only ten copies in total!"

This young master has to be very careful when holding it. Who do you think you are to dare to destroy this young master's book? If you don't have a hundred taels today, this young master will never let you go! "

Xie Xin's face flushed with anger. "One hundred taels! Are you trying to steal money?! It's just a crappy book, and you dare to ask for one hundred taels! Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed if this gets out?"

"Who dares to laugh at me? You or your brother?" Jiang Er's face was full of arrogance, and he deliberately asked the onlookers around him, "Do you dare to laugh at me?"

The spectators were so frightened that they shook their heads. Everyone knew that this young man was Concubine Jiang's younger brother. How could they dare to laugh at him?

What's more, today's incident was originally started by Xie Xin himself. If he hadn't insisted on snatching Jiang Er's script, no matter how domineering Jiang Er was, he would never have asked him to pay money for nothing.

It was clearly Xie Xin who caused the trouble, and they didn't want to take the blame.

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Jiang Er looked at Xie Xin smugly, "You saw it! They don't even dare to laugh at me. You're the only one so audacious as to snatch my book!"

Xie Xin was furious: "You..."

He wanted to refute, but was stopped by Xie Yi: "One hundred taels of silver, right? We will compensate you."

After saying that, he really took out a silver note worth one hundred taels and handed it to Jiang Er personally.

Jiang Er quickly took it, looked at the amount on it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he smiled complacently and said, "Wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier?

Xie San, you are sensible, unlike Xie Si, who is a loser and still gets more and more arrogant every day, thinking that the Xie and Chen families can dominate the world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xin said angrily: "My Xie family and Chen family can't cover up everything, can your Jiang family do it?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Er's face instantly became extremely ugly, and the people around him didn't even dare to breathe, and all glared at Xie Xin.

It would be fine if Xie Xin just acted foolishly, but why did he say such deadly words in front of them and drag them into this!

Xie Yi's expression was equally gloomy. "Fourth brother! Who allowed you to talk nonsense? Hurry up and apologize to Second Young Master Jiang!"

Xie Xin was very unwilling, and after Xie Yi patted him hard on the back, he reluctantly bent down and apologized to Jiang Er.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Er smiled coldly: "Xie Si, you are so arrogant. This young master will remember you."

After saying that, he casually threw the hardcover manuscript to Xie Xiu beside him and said lazily, "I know you are different from Xie Si, so this book is for you."

After saying that, he smiled coldly at Xie Yi and Xie Xin, then turned and left.

Xie Xin's face turned pale, and he stood there stiffly. It wasn't until Jiang Er walked away that his eyes suddenly turned red and he shouted at Xie Xiu, "Are you satisfied now?"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Xie Yi looked at the glares from the people around him and could only helplessly stay behind to clean up the mess. "Fourth brother has been tormented by rumors lately and hasn't been able to sleep well. That's why he said that nonsense. I hope Big Brother won't take it personally."

Xie Xiu's face showed no emotion, he simply said: "We are all brothers. As the eldest brother, I can understand the distress of the third and fourth brothers."

Xie Yi looked at the storybook in his hand again and asked tentatively, "Brother, do you like reading storybooks?"

Xie Xiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if smiling, "The storybook given by Young Master Jiang is of extraordinary value. How could I not like it?"

When Xie Yi thought about the hundred taels of silver note he had just given away, he felt a dull pain in his chest, as if he had been punched hard.

He forced a smile and said, "My fourth brother and I are about to go back. Why don't you come with us, big brother?"

Xie Xiu still refused: "No need, I still have some things to do, you guys go back first."

Xie Yi was just being polite. Seeing that he refused, he bowed and left.

As he left, his eyes swept over the script in Xie Xiu's hand, and he lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in his eyes.

At this moment, he would never have imagined that this seemingly clichéd story would cause such a huge uproar in the capital.
