Chapter 524 This reputation... may not be restored
After Wang Cheng left, Lin Yuzan still stood in the yard and continued to stare at the pavilion. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and wanted to turn around and return to his room.
At this moment, he heard light footsteps behind him, and a not-so-familiar voice: "Junior Brother Lin, you are worried about your daughter. I heard that there was a secret door in Hanqiu Courtyard that allowed your daughter to come and go freely, but later due to the arrival of other brothers, Junior Brother Lin asked the servants to seal it."
Lin Yuzan turned sideways and looked back, and saw Lu Tingfeng standing not far away with a smile on his face, his gentle eyes full of concern.
He smiled helplessly and replied, "What Senior Brother Lu said is true, but this secret door should not have been left. My daughter is naughty and often comes here to play when she sees me living here, which also breaks the rules of the two courtyards. The heads of the two courtyards took pity on us father and daughter and did not block it, but I cannot let you senior brothers be disturbed by this."
Lu Tingfeng nodded slightly, walked to his side, and said softly: "I have heard from my uncle that this Hanqiu Courtyard has always been vacant. It will only be opened if someone from the royal family studies here. The former headmaster broke the precedent for you and Junior Brother Wang, which is understandable, and he reported it to the higher-ups. However, other students should not be allowed to live here."
After that, he smiled gently at Lin Yuzan and said, "The former dean insisted on letting all of you brothers live here, hoping that they would pass the exam this time. However, he never thought that they were not interested in this and failed the exam. They even blamed it on some unfounded ghosts, shocking the entire academy."
Hearing this, Lin Yuzan frowned slightly and looked back at him in confusion.
However, after Lu Tingfeng finished speaking, he turned and left, as if talking to himself, whispering: "If they act like this, if they are caught, I guess the other brothers will find it difficult to tolerate them."
Although the sound was not loud, it was just loud enough for Lin Yuzan behind him to hear clearly.
Lin Yuzan stared at the man's back, a flash of sarcasm passed through his eyes, and then he looked towards the pavilion of Linglong Courtyard as if he had sensed something.
Just when Lu Tingfeng was talking to him, he keenly sensed that someone's gaze was falling on him in the pavilion.
On the top of the pavilion, Leng Mengwan was standing by the window, looking down at the tall man below, feeling a complex emotion in her heart.
She knew very well that Lin Yuzan would be Sheng Jingzhan's number one counselor in the future, but now Sheng Jingzhan not only did not believe her, but even tried to tame her into those women who strictly abided by etiquette and were pedantic.
Thinking of this, she bit her lower lip tightly, a hint of stubbornness flashed in her eyes. She raised her hand and was about to push open the window, but Zhao Ya's voice came from behind to stop her: "Miss Leng, if you open the window at this moment, it will inevitably be seen by the man below, which will damage your reputation."
Xiao Yining also reminded: "Sister Leng, my father said that the people next door are all men, and there are some things that women cannot see when they are together. Don't open the window to look!"
Leng Mengwan retracted her hand upon hearing that, turned around to look at Xiao Yining, and smiled shyly: "Sister Lin, my cousin Leng Shuyu also lives in the yard next door. We haven't seen each other for a year. I just want to say hello to him and tell him that I'm fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, the children and sisters who came up to visit were immediately surprised.
You know, because this person appeared in front of Xiao Yining from time to time before, the kids in Class B also knew a little about her.
Leng Mengwan's words clearly meant that she had no contact with anyone from the Leng family since she went to Prince Yu's Mansion.
This made the children and sisters feel that this person was too cold.
But there is also someone who doesn’t understand here—Zhang Nishang.
She defended Leng Mengwan, "We are relatives, so why can't we see each other? I often go to my uncle's house, and even attend various banquets with my grandmother, and they never mentioned that we can't see each other."
Xiao Yining: ..., that's because you are not old enough to distinguish between men and women, and the heroine just happens to be stuck!
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. The little kid always remembers,
Xiao Yining stared at the heroine's actions. Now the heroine was hiding very deeply, and she didn't believe a word of what was just said. Who knows if this person discovered that her father was downstairs and wanted to take this opportunity to meet him in person.
Leng Mengwan obviously did not take these reminders to heart. Even after several training sessions, she was still so bold and presumptuous.
After hearing what Zhang Nishang said, she lowered her eyes and looked down again, as if she really wanted to meet her cousin as she was told. Then, she pushed open the window without hesitation.
The moment the window was opened, the man below seemed to sense something, quickly retracted his gaze, turned around and walked towards his room.
Seeing this, Leng Mengwan couldn't help but lean forward and wanted to make a sound.
At this moment, a student with good hearing happened to hear the sound and looked up to see this scene. He immediately let out a strange cry, rushed to the place where he was hanging his clothes, hurriedly took back his underwear, and fled back to the dormitory in a panic.
This reaction instantly attracted the attention of others. They also discovered that Leng Mengwan, a young girl in school uniform, was blatantly looking at the courtyard from the pavilion. They were slightly shocked and looked at each other in surprise.
Leng Mengwan's attention was attracted by the sudden movement below. She was confused for a moment and was about to speak again.
Zhang Nishang beside her asked innocently, "Miss Leng, have you seen your cousin?"
As expected, this message was passed downstairs. Although the voice was weak, everyone still heard the three words "Miss Leng" and couldn't help but shift their eyes to Leng Shuyu's room.
In Yanjing, there are not many people with the surname Leng, but there is only one studying in the Girls' School.
At this time, Zhao Ya also walked to Leng Mengwan's side, closed the window she had opened, and said, "Since Miss Leng didn't shout, I guess your cousin is not downstairs. In that case, there is no need to look."
Leng Mengwan glanced at the window frame and saw that Lin Yuzan had already walked into the room and closed the door. She immediately said unhappily, "Madam Zhao, what are you doing? I want to see my cousin. He wasn't there just now. If I call him, he will come out."
However, Zhao Ya had a serious expression on her face. She stood in front of the window and warned earnestly, "Miss Leng, although you are innocent, you should know that it is not easy for a woman. There are so many men down there. If rumors spread about your behavior, it will be difficult for you to get married in the future."
