Zheng Yecheng, a young scholar born in a poor family who often followed Xiao Yu'an, suddenly crawled out from the crowd.

He casually brushed off the dust on his body, stood beside Xiao Yu'an, and spoke to Master Yang with an indignant look on his face.

"Master Yang, we heard what you just said. Yu An is right to ask, are you biased towards Xie Zhiqing? Is it because Xie Lingxi is sworn brother to your wife that you want to protect Xie Lingxi's brother?"

After hearing this, Master Yang's eyebrows twitched. Before he could do anything, Xie Zhiqing couldn't help it anymore and walked up to him and grabbed Zheng Yecheng's collar.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Why are you bringing up my sister for no reason?"

Xie Zhiqing had just beaten up Xiao Yu'an because he didn't want to hear this despicable guy mention his sister.

He really didn't want his sister to be talked about anymore. Even if the truth was on their side, his sister was a girl after all.

From ancient times to the present, the secular requirements for women have been harsh. He couldn't bear it if his sister was always being talked about, which was detrimental to her reputation.

But he didn't expect that these people only cared about eating and not being beaten, or they did it on purpose and had to jump out and bite his sister. Xie Zhiqing was almost mad.

Zheng Yecheng pretended to be scared, but Xie Zhiqing could clearly see the provocation in his eyes. However, what Bai Cai said was very misleading.

Especially now that the door of the study is open, many eyes are looking inside.

"Hey, Xie Zhiqing, what are you doing? I know that you are the third son of the Marquis of Changping, but even if you are the Marquis's son, you can't be so unreasonable, right? Isn't what I said the truth?"

"Or did I hit the nail on the head? Are you feeling guilty? Is it true that your sister and Madam Yang are adopted as relatives? I'm not making this up. Since what I said is the truth, why are you pulling at my clothes? If you're not feeling guilty, what else could it be?"

Xie Zhiqing said through gritted teeth.

"Even if my sister and Madam Yang are godparents, that has nothing to do with what happened today! Stop putting accusations on Master Yang and slandering him!"

As he spoke, Xie Zhiqing suppressed his anger and pushed Zheng Yecheng hard, but he controlled the fist that was about to swing out.

There are so many eyes watching, and one can tell at a glance that Zheng Yecheng and Xiao Yu'an are up to no good, so they must not fall into their trap.

As for my sister's recognition of Madam Yang as her godparents...

Although my sister did not conceal it on purpose, she did not spread it to anyone. Unless someone was secretly watching her whereabouts, how could they know it so clearly?

Thinking of this, Xie Zhiqing glared fiercely at Xiao Yu'an, who had pretended to be mute after Zheng Yecheng came in.

It must be this bastard who is secretly watching my sister!

Even if it wasn't Xiao Yu'an, it would be someone else in the Xiao family.

Damn it! They are so sinister. At this time, they actually bring up their own sister. Do they want to save their sister's reputation?

Xie Zhiqing's guess turned out to be correct by accident.

The one who was secretly watching Xie Lingxi was indeed Xiao Yu'an. Of course, other members of the Xiao family also did something involved.

Xiao Yu'an stared at Xie Lingxi at first, without any other ideas, just out of pure defense.

After all, the Xie family and the Xiao family have already torn their relations. If conflicts arise between the two sides because of the third prince, who is their backer, it will be a situation of either you or me, and one side will have to disappear.

Xiao Yu'an also heard that the Third Prince has been very close to the Xie family recently. If the news is correct, the Xie family seems to be planning to join the Third Prince. In this case, the Xiao family's position would become somewhat awkward.

It was precisely because of all these reasons that Xiao Yu'an wanted to keep an eye on Xie Lingxi. It was not because he wanted to do anything, he just didn't want the Xie family to have any relationship with the Third Prince. Overall, it was also for his own benefit.

Although he has not inherited the title yet, there is still hope, right? Even if he does not seek the title, as long as the Xiao family continues to prosper, he, the second son, will have a good life.

If the Xiao family fell into decline, how could he, the second son of the Marquis's family, still have dignity?

Therefore, whether considering one's own interests or the interests of the Xiao family, it is very necessary to keep an eye on Xie Lingxi, the culprit who caused the Xiao family to suffer a great disaster.

I just didn't expect,

Changes always happen faster than planned.

Originally, he was planning to keep an eye on Xie Lingxi and secretly look for more useful information, such as some leverage on Xie Lingxi.

But I didn't expect that I would have to use this new information so soon.

After taking a look at Master Yang's expression, Xiao Yu'an knew that he had seriously offended Master Yang this time.

After all, accusing a teacher of favoring a particular student is a very serious accusation.

As a teacher, you must be fair and just. It is bad for your reputation if you are accused of favoritism by students.

This kind of accusation is very serious and will offend people, but at the moment, Xiao Yu'an really can't care about so much.

Master Yang, the person involved, stood up at this moment. He snorted coldly, glanced at the people outside with a serious expression and said.

"So that's how it is. I thought they were just accusing me of something, but now it seems that they have a basis for their claims. Zheng Yecheng is right. My wife is indeed related to Miss Xie."

Master Yang admitted it directly and generously. It was not something that had to be concealed. Sooner or later, the news would get out.

The students began to whisper to each other, their eyes constantly looking back and forth between Master Yang and Xie Zhiqing.

Master Yang looked calm, not showing any sign of guilt, and continued.

"But even if my wife and Miss Xie are sworn brothers, that is a matter between women. What does it have to do with me? A man of integrity has nothing to fear. If you really think I am biased..."

"Master!"

Xie Zhiqing interrupted what Master Yang was saying, took a step forward, directly blocked Master Yang's figure, glanced at everyone coldly and said.

"In the final analysis, this is someone targeting me. There is no need to involve Master Yang. We all know who our Master Yang is. A gentleman judges deeds rather than the heart. The Master's character cannot be distorted by a few words. We all have our own scale in our hearts."

"It's ridiculous to ask Master Yang to come out and explain this slanderous statement that was fabricated out of thin air! If you really think I have done something wrong, just point it out and stick to the facts. Don't beat around the bush like some people do. I won't accept it!"

When talking about "certain people", Xie Zhiqing's eyes fell directly on Xiao Yu'an's face, and he almost told everyone directly that the "certain people" he was talking about were Xiao Yu'an.

Xiao Yu'an seemed unaware, as if he didn't know that he was being implied.

Xie Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that everyone's attention had shifted to himself and Xiao Yu'an.
