Chapter 772 The Fall of the Xie Family (1)
Chapter 772 The Fall of the Xie Family (1)
The sun slowly climbed to the top of the mountain. Wang Cheng hurried and finally sent the two children to the girls' school before their morning classes.
He sat in the car, looking up at the two little ones being led into the girls' school by their aunt who was guarding the gate, and the gentleness on his face quietly disappeared.
He whispered to the driver, "When you go back, tell the master that Hai Yunxiao has set his sights on Yu Ke and Hu Ge'er, and has mistaken me for a member of the Zhang family."
The driver responded in a muffled voice, and turned the carriage around, heading towards the next destination, Yunfei Academy.
On the other side, Xiao Yining and Yu Ke were led by Auntie in purple and walked towards Class B.
At that time, the girls' school was peaceful, with only the occasional sound of reading and melodious piano music.
Yu Ke raised her eyes slightly, glanced at the purple-clothed aunt, then quietly approached the little girl and whispered, "Sister Princess, there is a new servant in your house. I haven't seen the driver just now."
"Sister Yu Ke, this is what my uncle bought for me. My father was attacked last time and Grandpa Zheng broke his waist, so he can't drive." The kid answered truthfully.
Then, she smiled sweetly and added, "My uncle is so kind to me!"
Ever since the old man nearly lost his life last time, the old baby sent a team of secret guards to protect the personal safety of her family and her grandmother's family.
Although I don’t know which department is more powerful, the secret guards or the shadow guards.
However, since that time, the people who attacked her father and uncle seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and there has not been a second wave since then.
I don't know whether he was dealt with by the secret guards or he is lying in wait, waiting for a big attack.
Yu Ke nodded in understanding, and could not help but feel envious. He muttered to his little patron, "Then I will work hard for the young master and ask him to find me one."
Xiao Yining was not dissatisfied with the little sister's behavior of hugging Xiao Cu's thighs. She nodded in agreement and even wanted to encourage the little sister.
However, the purple-robed aunt in front suddenly turned around and shouted, "Shut up!"
Two little ones: ...
The two little ones shut their mouths quietly, lowered their heads like little quails, and followed closely.
Just at this moment, two voices discussing the heroine not far away reached the little kid's ears.
"This Heaven-level Miss Leng hasn't been to the girls' school for some time. I wonder how Princess Anping and Lady Zheng will handle this matter?"
"According to the regulations, Miss Leng will be expelled. However, I heard that she disguised herself as a man and it became well known. King Yu has already confined her to her house as a punishment and even pleaded with His Majesty to let her continue to stay in the girls' school. However..."
"But what?"
"Miss Leng's foster aunt was caned by King Yu and sold out when she was only breathing her last breath. I heard that the old lady was still by the Queen Mother's side. It was really tragic that she ended up like this!"
"Indeed, if you follow the wrong master, how can you have a good ending!"
"..."
Xiao Yining tilted his head slightly and looked in the direction where the sound came from. Among the plum trees, two purple figures passed by vaguely.
Unconsciously, she stopped quietly and wanted to hear some gossip about the male and female protagonists.
The purple-clothed aunt in front immediately noticed something strange behind her, turned around again, and reminded her: "Princess Le'an, it's not the season for plum blossoms to bloom yet. If you want to enjoy the flowers, you can go to the Red Maple Garden after school. There are also unique views there."
The little kid's face turned red, and he quickly put on a shy and well-behaved smile and ran to the side of his older sister.
The two little ones looked at each other subconsciously, and both saw smiles in each other's eyes.
Soon, the two arrived at the door of Class B.
Before the kid even stepped into the door, he noticed from the window that Shangguan Ruyi's seat was empty.
When the kids in Class B saw the return of their two friends, their eyes were burning with eagerness and their faces were full of joy. Even the originally dull classroom was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
If they weren't in class, they might have come over to ask the kid about the big news that broke yesterday.
The two little ones tiptoed to their seats and sat down. Although the teacher felt the subtle change in the atmosphere in the class, he just raised his head slightly, glanced at everyone, and continued his teaching.
There was a sense of restlessness in the air, and everyone was looking forward to the end of get out of class.
However, what was unexpected to the entire girls' school was that as the emperor left the court, a team of officers and soldiers came rushing towards this side with the imperial edict.
The bloodbath in Yanjing eventually spread to the two universities.
In Yunfei Academy, as soon as Wang Cheng entered the mountain gate, he was invited to Jiang Tingsong's office by the servant who had been waiting for a long time.
After not seeing him for two days, this elderly scholar's brows were even more furrowed than before. He sat upright at his desk, marking students' essays meticulously.
He heard the old man's footsteps, raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at him nonchalantly, then returned his gaze to the article and uttered a shocking news: "From now on, you and Lin Yuzan no longer have to go to the local level for classes. I will teach you two in person. No matter which level I go to, you two will follow me to that level to listen in. I have already mentioned this to the dean and the headmaster, and have received their approval."
Wang Cheng:.......
The old man who had lost his personal freedom hurried to save his unfortunate life, "Master Jiang, this is not appropriate. It is against the rules of the academy. I'm afraid my fellow brothers will complain!"
"Complaints?"
Jiang Tingsong raised his head and sneered at the old man: "If anyone has complaints, let him compete with Leng Shuyu. If he can beat him, I am willing to teach him personally."
Leng Shuyu?
The old man looked thoughtful. He had been busy these past two days and had no idea what this man had done!
Fortunately, Jiang Tingsong did not hide it from him and said frankly: "You used my name to show off at the Qingtan meeting a few days ago. Leng Shuyu also held one these two days. No one can surpass him."
Changing the subject, he narrowed his eyes and said teasingly, "Qiu Xuanzhi did pick up a treasure, but it's a pity that he upset His Majesty at his birthday banquet, otherwise his reputation would have spread throughout half of Yanjing."
After saying this, he glanced at the old man with disdain and said, "Put down the bamboo bag and follow me to the Tianding class."
Wang Cheng secretly cursed Leng Shuyu for "seeking popularity", then resigned himself to his fate, took off the bamboo bag on his body, and followed the old man to the Tianding class.
In the Tianding class, the students had already sat down, reading quietly, waiting for Jiang Tingsong to arrive.
When they saw a strange face walking in with Jiang Tingsong, they all looked at him with puzzlement.
Coincidentally, Zhang Liangchuan was also attending classes in the Tianding class. When he saw Wang Cheng walk in, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he secretly waved at him with joy on his face.
Wang Cheng responded with a helpless smile and stood against the wall.
Jiang Tingsong did not explain much to the students. He just glanced at them indifferently and started today's class.
The lecture pace was very fast and soon the students were immersed in it, leaving them no time to think about anything else.
However, what surprised these students who did not know the truth was that Mr. Jiang, who was usually very frugal with words, always remembered to ask the extra person, Wang Cheng, how he would answer every time after answering their questions today.
As time went by, all the students knew Wang Cheng's intention, and as expected, it caused dissatisfaction among several people.
