"Are you a traitor? How could you get such a simple finance and history question wrong?"

Zhu Mingyue's attack power was so strong that it was beyond measure. Zhu Jinzhao scratched his head, not daring to utter a single word in rebuttal.

Zhu Mingyue frowned and glared at her, then covered the answers to the questions with a piece of scratch paper and did the questions herself. After finishing, she still couldn't believe that Zhu Jinzhao could get so many questions wrong, so she tentatively asked again, "You did these questions when you were clear-headed, right?"

Zhu Jinzhao honestly replied, "Yes, my mind is very clear when I'm doing the questions."

"How could you make so many mistakes if you were so clear-headed?" Zhu Mingyue exclaimed in surprise. "Are you just acting out my story?"

"I didn't act." Zhu Jinzhao explained earnestly, her clear eyes full of sincerity. "The teacher was sick during this class, and he didn't have the energy to explain it to us, so he just let us look at the PPT on our own. I didn't quite understand it at the time, which is why I got so many questions wrong."

"..." Zhu Mingyue was half-believing and half-doubting.

Zhu Jinzhao was raised by Zhu Xingye. How could a sister raised by such an outstanding person like Zhu Xingye be so stupid and dumb? This doesn't make sense.

Moreover, Zhu Xingye himself said that Zhu Jinzhao had good grades, so Zhu Xingye had no reason to lie to Zhu Mingyue.

Once she understood this point, Zhu Mingyue's initial skepticism immediately turned into deep doubt.

"Hmph..." She sneered, ignoring Zhu Jinzhao's words.

Zhu Jinzhao looked at her with a puzzled expression, wondering what she was wary of.

There was still one class left tonight. After finishing her homework, Zhu Mingyue proactively clicked on her tablet to bring up the next class.

"..."

No one spoke again. The only sound in the room was the teacher's unhurried lecture.

Zhu Jinchao sat upright, seemingly listening attentively to the lesson, but in reality, he was using the pretense of attending class to secretly observe Zhu Mingyue.

In the novel, Zhu Mingyue is adept at using every means to frame and slander the fake heiress. Now that she has transmigrated, she must be constantly on guard and absolutely cannot give Zhu Mingyue any opportunity to harm her.

"I'm a little tired..."

Half an hour later, Zhu Mingyue suddenly yawned and stretched: "Chaochao, I'm tired of sitting. Can I stand up and listen to the lesson for a while?"

Zhu Jinchao smiled like a human: "Of course!"

Zhu Mingyue then pulled out a chair, stood up, and picked up the tablet.

"...Huh?" Zhu Jinzhao didn't understand why she was holding the tablet. Just as she was wondering, she saw her accidentally let go of the tablet, and it fell to the ground as expected.

"Bang! Smash!"

The tablet landed face down on the floor, and Zhu Jinzhao instinctively bent down to pick it up.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry," Zhu Mingyue apologized repeatedly, kneeling down to pick up the tablet before Zhu Jinchao could. Zhu Jinchao's outstretched hand missed its target, and before he could retract it, Zhu Mingyue suddenly screamed—

"ah!"

He then fell backward, crashing forcefully into the bookshelf behind him.

"!!!!" Zhu Jinzhao's eyes widened in horror, her body reacting before her brain, and she abruptly jumped up and lunged at Zhu Mingyue—

Halfway through her lunge, she unexpectedly twisted her ankle. Her outstretched hands failed to grab Zhu Mingyue, instead grabbing a chair beside her. The chair tipped over and crashed down on her without mercy.

"ah!"

Her screams were ten times more agonizing than Zhu Mingyue's.

"..."

Zhu Mingyue had prepared her sarcastic lines, but then Zhu Jinzhao also fell down? And she fell even more pitifully and miserably than Zhu Mingyue?

What's this all about? Trying to steal the spotlight?

"What's wrong?"

Hearing the commotion, Zhu Xingye from next door came out of his room to investigate. Zhu Jinzhao hadn't closed his door, so he could see everything inside from the doorway.

The two people, unaware of what had happened, remained on the ground.

Zhu Mingyue sat in front of the bookshelf, holding a tablet in her hands; Zhu Jinzhao was slumped on the floor, covered with a chair.

"What's going on?" Zhu Xingye strode into the room, thinking that Zhu Jinzhao was just joking and had even teased her, "If you're sleepy, go to bed. Why are you lying down here? And using a chair as a blanket."

"...Help, help me..." Zhu Jinzhao raised one hand tremblingly, a long bloody welt running across his arm, which was already visibly red and swollen.

"Zhao Chao!" Zhu Xingye realized something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to lift the chair and pick Zhu Jinchao up from the ground.

"What happened? How did you get hurt like this?" He checked Zhu Jinzhao's injuries and found that her other arm had also been scraped by the chair, leaving a long gash. The gash wasn't deep, but blood was already flowing out.

"Don't be afraid, Chaochao. I'll call your second brother right now and have him come back quickly to treat your wounds." Zhu Xingye frowned tightly, took out his phone and dialed Zhu Qian directly.

Zhu Qian was already on his way back; when he received the call, he was just one red light away from home.

"It hurts so much..." Zhu Jinzhao grimaced in pain, blowing on the wound on her hand as she cried out.

Zhu Xingye helped her up from the ground and took her to Zhu Qian's study.

"Weren't you in class? How did you suddenly fall?" Zhu Xingye asked, his gaze fixed on Zhu Mingyue.

Zhu Mingyue's heart skipped a beat; she had no idea how to answer.

The injured person is Zhu Jinzhao, so nothing she says makes sense. If she lies to Zhu Xingye according to her plan, Zhu Jinzhao can expose her in a heartbeat. No matter how well she explains, she will still be at a disadvantage in this situation because she is not injured while Zhu Jinzhao is.

But if she doesn't lie and tells the truth, how can she explain why she fell down for no reason?

"Mingyue, what are you two playing?" Zhu Xingye asked in a different way when she didn't answer, "You're usually so composed, how come you fell down along with Chaochao?"

Zhu Mingyue's mind raced, and she came up with a perfect explanation in just two seconds.

"I……"

"It was I who tripped Mingyue."

Just as Zhu Mingyue was about to speak, Zhu Jinzhao answered the question for her.

Zhu Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Zhu Jinzhao in disbelief.

Zhu Jinzhao chuckled foolishly and told Zhu Xingye a little lie: "I... I've been in class for too long, and my butt is getting restless, so I stood up with my tablet and started swinging it around in front of my desk. Then I tripped over the chair and fell, and that's how I ended up like this."

“Mingyue originally wanted to save me, but I told her to save the tablet first, which is why she tripped and fell while trying to grab it.”

"It's a bit embarrassing, but I have to admit that I'm the one who made her fall."

Zhu Xingye: "...How old are you? Can't you be a little more mature? You fell down, fine, but you made Mingyue look so pathetic. Honestly, anyone who follows you will be assimilated by you!"

"Hehe..." Zhu Jinzhao felt a little embarrassed, so he apologized to Zhu Mingyue, "I'm sorry, Mingyue."
