Chapter 21: Failed to Frame Someone and Suffered the Harm

How could Wang Xing'an admit it? He immediately denied it, "How is that possible? I don't have such a thing."

However, his words were halting and not at all convincing. Instead, they sounded more like a weak explanation.

When Zhao Lizheng heard this, he became even more angry. Wang Xing'an was so guilty, who would believe that he didn't do it? Instead, he became more convinced that he was the one who did it.

They are all from the same village. Even if people don't say anything in front of him, they will definitely talk about it later. How will Wang Xing'an live his life then?

"How can you be sure that the medicine powder must belong to my brother? Although there are words written on it, do you, Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan know how to write? Everyone saw the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone you bought from the town." Wang Xingxiong defended Wang Xing'an with his neck stiff.

Lin Xi shook her head. "The things were found by Dai Liyun on Wang Xing'an, not on us. Besides, look at this paper, it's as white as winter snow, it must be top-quality Xuan paper. Although my husband and I can read, we use the worst yellow paper. We can't afford such quality."

Wang Xingxiong was dumbfounded. He didn't know the classification of Xuan paper at all. He thought all writing paper was the same.

"Brother, please say less." Wang Xing'an quickly pulled Wang Xingxiong's clothes. If his brother continued talking, he was afraid that he would reveal more.

"In short," Wang Xing'an said, "I don't know where Dai Liyun got the paper from, but this thing is definitely not mine."

Lin Xi felt disgusted when he saw Wang Xing'an's appearance. If all scholars were like this, the country would have been finished long ago.

"Everyone's handwriting is different. Wang Xingan is the only one in our village who can read and write and can afford to use rice paper. But Wang Xingan insisted that the powder had nothing to do with him. That's fine. There are other ways to verify it."

Lin Xi pointed at the words on the paper and said, "Everyone's handwriting is different. I think there are not many people in this area who can recognize the words. I want to come to the academy to ask. Maybe the teacher can recognize this handwriting."

Wang Xing'an's heart immediately sank. There was no way the teacher wouldn't recognize his classmate's handwriting.

If the matter were to get to the academy, his classmates would definitely betray him in order to protect themselves, and the teacher would never accept a student with such bad morals as him again, and his career would be ruined!

"No, no." Wang Xing'an snatched the thing from Lin Xi's hand.

"You are so nervous, could it really be yours?" Lin Xi looked at Wang Xing'an leisurely.

"I," Wang Xing'an's mind was in a mess at the moment, and he didn't know what to say, "This must be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

After saying that, he hurried back home without waiting for anyone else.

Although Wang Xing'an did not admit it in the end, everyone knew it was definitely him who did it.

Lin Xi smiled slightly and said to Dai Liyun, "Erniu was frightened today. Please send her back safely."

Dai Liyun responded quickly. Wu Erniu was still a little confused at the moment. It turned out that the person who wanted to harm her was Wang Xingan.

"Let's go home."

Lin Xi felt someone suddenly holding her hand, and when she turned around, it was Xiao Yongyan.

"Why are you here?" Lin Xi's face was filled with joy and she was very surprised. She thought Xiao Yongyan only had eyes for books.

"I'm here to take you home." Xiao Yongyan smiled gently, and caught a glimpse of Wang Xing'an's fleeing back out of the corner of his eye.

The couple walked away together. Wang Xingxiong looked at their backs with hatred, gritting his teeth.

Li Zheng Zhao was also very angry and left in anger. He thought Wang Xing'an would be the hope of the village, but who would have thought that he would do such a shameless thing.

If the news gets out, who would dare to marry a girl to their Taoli Village in the future?

Three days later.

Wang Xing'an returned to Songtao Academy, but before he could even enter, he was stopped outside by a child, "You are no longer a student of our academy, you cannot come in."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue. Wang Xing'an wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. "I'm not a student of the academy?"

"Yes," the boy looked at him with disdain, "The master heard that you drugged a girl in the village, and he was furious. He decided to expel you from the academy, so you are no longer a student of our academy."

"That's all misunderstanding. I want to see Master Gu!" Wang Xing'an couldn't accept it and yelled at the door.

The little boy was even more impatient, "Mr. Lian Shuer already knows about your situation, and he said it was a misunderstanding. If you don't leave, I'm going to kick you out!"

As he spoke, the little boy took the broom and swept towards Wang Xing'an.

Wang Xing'an had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

But he didn't have the courage to tell his family about the serious matter of dropping out of school, so he could only hide in the alley.

But before he had waited for a while, a few beggars came and claimed that this was their territory. They asked Wang Xing'an to get out quickly and drove him out onto the street.

As luck would have it, Old Lady Wang and Wang Xingxiong, who came to sell steamed buns, saw Wang Xing'an being bullied by a few beggars. They were very angry and immediately stepped forward to rescue Wang Xing'an.

He originally wanted to argue, but Wang Xing'an stopped him. He had already made the teacher angry. If he caused trouble again, no academy would accept him in this life, let alone Songtao Academy.

When Old Lady Wang and Wang Xingxiong heard that Wang Xing'an was kicked out of the academy, they were at a loss for a moment.

Over the years, the money they spent to support Wang Xing'an's studies was enough to build another brick and tile house.

Now that Wang Xing'an has lost his qualification on the eve of the Tongsheng examination, all his previous efforts have been wasted.

"It's all because of that unlucky girl from the Wu family. If it weren't for her, our Wang family would have a good life. I think it was right not to let her in. If she had really come in, who knows what trouble she might have caused." Old Mrs. Wang was very angry.

Wang Xing'an thought about it and wondered how the village affairs could reach the teacher's ears so quickly. Someone must have informed on him.

Although the girl from the Wu family appeared in the academy, she had not left the village during this period.

Only Lin Xi came to the town to sell steamed buns every few days. After thinking about it, the person who could have filed a complaint could only be Lin Xi.

"Grandma, I think there is another reason behind this." Wang Xing'an said.

…

These days, Lin Xi has almost taught Wu Erniu well, and now she is honing her skills at home.

After the training is completed, she can completely hand over the steamed bun business to the Wu family.

After selling the steamed buns and returning home, Lin Xi went to his own fields to check the growth of the rice.

【The rice is growing well and the fish fry are healthy. 】

[To increase yield, it is recommended that the host prepare nutrient solution. ]

Lin Xi checked the system. She now had 25 experience points, and preparing the nutrient solution would only consume 4 points, which was completely affordable.

"Then configure it."

[This is the first time to prepare the nutrient solution. The system needs to be upgraded. It will take 24 hours to complete. Please wait patiently. ]

It’s only a day or so, Lin Xi can wait.

In the middle of the night, Wang Xingxiong brought Wang Xing'an to Lin Xi's paddy fields.

"Brother, is this thing really useful?" Wang Xing'an was holding a small wooden bucket, his face full of disgust and suspicion.
