Qingyun's legs began to tremble, and his voice was slightly tearful, "I really don't know. Every time we met, they came to the gate of the academy to find me."

"Haha." Qian Chunhua sneered. She didn't believe a word Qingyun said.

She heard from Zhao's mother and Meiping that at the end of August, a few days after Zhao Yongwen passed the imperial examination, the three siblings went back to Taoyuan Township to visit their uncle. How could Qingyun not know where Zhao Qingshui and the others lived?

The fact that they returned to Taoyuan Township together indicated that the three of them had been in private contact for a long time.

Qian Chunhua's sneer frightened Qingyun so much that his legs went limp.

If I had known this, I wouldn’t have stayed to watch the fun.

"The county princess is so majestic." A voice came from outside the study, and the figures of Duke Weiguo and his wife suddenly appeared in front of the study door.

After seeing the servant of the Duke's Mansion in front of the academy, they only knew that they were in the academy. Without knowing what had happened, the Duke of Wei and his wife hurried into the academy.

In front of the study door, they heard the aggressive tone of Ruiyun County Lady as she questioned Qingyun.

Because of what the Duke told her, the old lady knew that if Heng'er had not met Princess Ruiyun, she would probably have died.

So she was full of gratitude towards Qian Chunhua, but this gratitude disappeared immediately when she heard her aggressive words.

"Grandma." Qingyun turned around and found his grandmother, and hurriedly called out. He wanted to explain to his grandmother that it was not Aunt Qian who forced Qingyun, but Qingyun himself who did the bad thing.

Qingyun, who was almost collapsed to the ground just now due to fear, felt like he had seen his savior when he saw the Duke of Weiguo and his wife. He called out with a hint of grievance, "Grandma, Grandma."

As soon as he finished speaking, tears started to fall.

Madam Xiao nodded to Xiao Heng, walked quickly to Xiao Qingyun's side, and patted his shoulder, "Qingyun, don't worry, grandma won't let anyone bully you."

After saying that, he glared at Qian Chunhua.

Duke Wei was not as impulsive as his wife. He had a calm expression as he came before Master Zhou and greeted everyone in the room before asking, "What happened?"

Zhou You had to repeat again everything that had just happened.

When Duke Weiguo heard that the person who bought the banned book was a fifteen-year-old boy, combined with what he heard from Princess Ruiyun outside the study, he also understood the Princess's suspicion.

The old lady was a protective person, and even after listening to Zhou You's story, she didn't think that this had anything to do with Qingyun.

Seeing that Assistant Zhou had finished telling the whole story impartially, Heng was no longer anxious and waited for his grandmother to understand that Aunt Qian was not targeting Heng Qingyun.

"Excuse me, county lady, do you have any candidates you suspect?" Wei Guogong asked openly.

Qian Chunhua nodded and pointed at Qingyun and said, "I suspect he ordered his elder brother Zhao Qingshui to buy the banned books from the library."

Qingyun never expected that his second aunt not only had no concerns about him at all, but also did not even give face to the Duke's Mansion and directly expressed her suspicions.

Isn't she afraid of guessing wrong and getting a reputation for being vicious, saying that Princess Ruiyun can't tolerate the child from her husband's eldest wife?

Qian Chunhua really couldn't tolerate the children of the eldest wife. As long as they dared to do anything to hurt her children, she would show her fangs.

If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. If someone offends me, I will be punished by heaven and earth.

Hearing what Princess Ruiyun said, the old lady became anxious. She wanted to ask, but Duke Weiguo stopped her, "Qingyun, where is your elder brother?"

Whether it is true or not, just call the person over and let the waiter identify it. There is no need to argue here.

Although Duke Weiguo did not love Qingyun, he respected Princess Ruiyun and could understand her willingness to do anything for her son.
