Chapter 50
"Master, you have no right to punish my people," Xue Shun argued, showing a rare moment of strength. "I'm worried about you, Master, because of your loyalty. It's disheartening to punish her arbitrarily. But she's definitely wrong for disrupting your class. I'll just ask her to leave. The kneeling punishment—for now, please forgive me."
He pulled Shen Jiao up and left.
He looked quite calm and noble, but unfortunately he did not do it in the right way and did not salute his teacher. Mr. Song still punished him to copy books, but did not mention punishing Shen Jiao again. Even when Xue Shun deliberately called Shen Jiao in to grind ink again, he did not say a word.
What a weird guy. It seems like as long as he can win the argument, he will become reasonable.
Shen Jiao looked at Xue Shun who was deep in thought. It was obvious that he also realized something. The two looked at each other, and then glanced at Mr. Song's shaking back... and almost laughed out loud.
How could those who had suffered from the teacher for a long time not be overjoyed when they suddenly discovered a clever way to fight against him? If this had not happened in the classroom, the two of them would probably have held their foreheads in celebration.
I can’t say how good my life will be in the future with this method, but at least I can copy fewer books!
Xue Shun's small step forward is a big step forward for Shen Jiao. Thinking about it... he doesn't seem so happy anymore.
Please copy your own book!
Even though Xue Shun, who had sent his master away, said they would split it in half, Shen Jiao still hid an angry heart under her smiling appearance.
Forget it, if the wound breaks, she will be the one in trouble.
Xue Shun, you should be more careful in the future. If you continue to be so unlucky, you should change your name to Xue Kanke or Xue Bo. Your life is full of troubles, so Xue Mei is not bad either, it is easy to understand.
Shen Jiao secretly complained in his heart and quickly finished copying his half.
Xue Shun was a little slower, but fortunately he finished it by himself.
The two were checking each other's copied books to make sure there were no mistakes when they heard Jin Yu come in and say, "Seventeenth Young Master, Sixth Young Master is here."
Before Xue Shun could say goodbye, the three of them heard Xue Lang's hearty laughter: "Xiao Shiqi, are you feeling better today?"
He actually rushed in without waiting for notice, with a large group of people following him, holding boxes of various sizes.
As soon as she entered the room and saw Xue Shun sitting at the table, she frowned: "What are you doing? You're not well yet, why don't you lie down and rest? How are the maids serving you? You don't learn your lesson, do you?"
After just a few words, he started to attack again.
Xue Shun's face darkened as he said, "They served me well, so I don't need to rest any longer. Mr. Song has already resumed my lessons for me today, and I still have to do my homework. What brings you here?"
Xue Shun made no secret of his alienation and wariness towards Xue Lang.
Xue Lang, however, acted as if he hadn't noticed. He reached out and snatched the stack of papers from Shen Jiao's hand, flipping through them. "Mr. Song is punishing you by making you copy books? That's ridiculous! Your hand is so injured, how can you even start writing? I think the old man is being too lenient with him, letting him be unaware of his own status. How dare he treat his master like this? Stop writing now. I'll go and talk to him about it later. Just rest up. It's not too late to study again once your injury is healed."
He angrily snatched the paper from Xue Shun's hand and strode out of the door.
"you……"
Xue Shun was really confused and stood up to chase after him, but was stopped by Yu Nu: "Seventeenth Master, these are the supplements my master prepared for you, please accept them."
She waved her hand, and the people came forward one by one, opened the boxes and piled them on the table.
It looks really good. Ginseng, deer antler, purple ganoderma, bird's nest, wolfberry, cordyceps... are all precious things, but they may not be suitable for Xue Shun to use.
However, when he saw these things, his anxious expression eased. After listening to Yu Nu's explanation one by one, he politely said, "Thank you for me, Sixth Brother."
"I will definitely pass on the message." Yu Nu took her people away.
Xue Shun didn't move either.
Shen Jiao asked, "Sir, why don't you stop the Sixth Young Master? I'm afraid he's going to go and cause trouble with Mr. Song."
"What's the point of going? They clearly don't want me to go, and they've even left these people to stop me. Even if I could get rid of them and run over, it would probably be too late. It's better not to bother."
He checked the supplements on the table with great interest.
"These are all good things. If you sell them for me later, we won't have to worry about anything."
Seeing that he didn't want to bother with those things, Shen Jiao stopped talking and nodded, saying, "Yes."
Jin Yu said worriedly, "But if you don't go, I'm afraid you'll offend Mr. Song."
"Of course. If he leaves my place and takes the book I copied to cause trouble for others, everyone will think it's my fault for what I said or did." Xue Shun understood the situation very well, but he didn't want to care. "Let him be. Mr. Shu never liked me anyway. The worst that can happen is that I won't read this book anymore. I'm not good at literature or martial arts anyway, so why bother? It's just a joke."
He laughed at himself and said to Shen Jiao, "Put everything away."
"Yes." Shen Jiao didn't care about those things.
Jin Yu stopped trying to persuade him, pursed her lips, and said with a troubled expression, "Then I'll go feed the rats."
Xue Shun closed the lid of the Ganoderma lucidum and said without looking up, "Go."
This matter is not over yet.
I don’t know what Xue Lang said, but he was so angry that he left and said he would never come back.
Naturally, we have to ask about the main courtyard.
Xue Lang simply said that the teacher was too strict. He was so angry that he couldn't bear to see his younger brother doing such heavy homework while he was sick.
Xue Shun had to make some excuses. To be honest, the homework was not heavy. Sixth Brother just misunderstood him because he saw him copying books.
No one knew what Nanny Zhang reported. Anyway, Luo Wendi asked them to go and apologize to the master, but he didn't punish them by making them kneel in the ancestral hall like last time, nor did he say they had to walk. He thought they could take a sedan chair or a car.
Xue Lang didn't want to bother his brother, so he decided to go alone. He said regretfully, "Since I misunderstood, I should go and apologize to Mr. Tong. Seventeen isn't well yet, so let's not bother him, okay?"
Nanny Zhang looked at Xue Shun and said, "Madam said that if the Sixth Young Master wants to go alone, then the Seventeenth Young Master will decide. Whether the Seventeenth Young Master wants to go with the Sixth Young Master or have the Sixth Young Master go alone, both are fine."
Shen Jiao: ...No matter what I choose, it’s not right.
If he went, he was afraid that others would think he had deliberately instigated trouble in front of his brothers. If he didn't go, he was afraid that others would think he was irresponsible. If Xue Shun had a good reputation, it wouldn't be a big deal. The problem was that he had no reputation at all. Compared with his brothers, he was like a dim star that was almost invisible. No one would pay much attention to him. But Xue Lang, the little sword master, was different. He was well-known for slaying demons and helping the poor. He was also handsome and charming. People outside would definitely not think he was a bad person...
Xue Shun is likely to be in trouble.
Xue Shun knew without Shen Jiao's explanation that it was a difficult choice. The best way was for him to swallow his pride and stay away from Xue Lang in the future.
But he was not happy.
"I..." Xue Shun pretended to be weak and shook his body, thinking of pretending to be faint.
However, Shen Jiao was very perceptive and supported him immediately: "Sir?"
Xue Shun: ...
Will I hit her if I fall down like this?
The frail young master thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, Sixth Brother. Seventeen is really having a hard time. Please apologize on my behalf."
"Don't worry," Xue Lang said, as he was just happy with what he had said. "Sixth brother will definitely invite the master back."
I said to myself, tonight you say goodbye to him forever, he will never come back...
