Before the teacher could say anything, Ye Mao, who was sitting in the back row, said, "What right do you have to search our school bags? Who do you think you are? You said your golden turtle was stolen, and I was going to say you hid it yourself! It's just a broken golden turtle. Do you really think others value it as much as you do?"
As the eldest grandson of the imperial merchant Ye family, Ye Mao had a very bad temper in public. He spoke with full confidence.
However, not everyone sitting in this classroom could be like him and not take a golden tortoise seriously.
"Who, who is hiding! My golden turtle is gone!" Wei Jinbao was very arrogant in front of other people, but he couldn't help but lose his temper when facing Ye Mao.
Xue Yao, who was sitting in the last row because of his height advantage, listened absentmindedly, but what he was thinking in his heart was, I wonder what delicious food my sister is going to cook in the evening?
His stomach could no longer hold back and was sending out hunger signals.
He never expected that this matter would involve him.
"Teacher, I, I saw Xue Yao secretly open Wei Jinbao's schoolbag when the get out of class was over." A student who usually didn't talk much stood up. He spoke in a low voice and didn't dare to raise his eyes, but the content of his words set off a frenzy.
"What does Jia Bin mean by this? Did Xue Yao steal Wei Jinbao's golden turtle?"
"That's impossible. I don't think Xue Yao would do such a thing."
"That's right, Brother Yao's family is not short of money."
Although Xue Yao transferred here halfway, he is quite popular in the class, thanks to the various snacks and desserts he usually brings from home.
Xue Yao is not a stingy person and always takes the initiative to share his food with his classmates before eating.
People are always grateful for the food they receive, and the snacks he brought were really delicious, so his classmates all reciprocated his kindness and helped him a lot, especially Ye Mao.
With Ye Mao, the class bully, taking the lead in accepting him, the others naturally stopped looking for trouble. Moreover, Xue Yao was tall and strong, and he was not someone who could be easily bullied. So he quickly integrated into the class and became one with his classmates.
Of course, there are a few exceptions, such as Wei Jinbao.
He looked down upon Xue Yao, who had previously studied in a private school in the countryside, and always called him a "country bumpkin" and a "mud-legged boy".
Xue Yao was not someone to be bullied, so he taught him a lesson openly and honestly, so that Wei Jinbao never dared to say anything in front of him again.
Now, with Jia Bin as a witness, Wei Jinbao immediately pointed the finger at Xue Yao: "Did you hear that? It must be Xue Yao who stole my golden turtle!"
Xue Yao ignored him and stood up: "I didn't steal Wei Jinbao's golden turtle."
Wei Jinbao: "Jia Bin saw it all, and you still want to quibble! Do you dare let me search your school bag?!"
As he said that, he rushed towards Xue Yao, snatched his school bag, turned it over, and poured out the contents.
Boom!
A golden object fell to the ground, and it turned out to be a golden turtle.
"You said you didn't steal it! What is this!" Wei Jinbao pointed at the golden turtle on the ground, his face showing three parts of anger and seven parts of pride.
In full view of the crowd, the golden tortoise was taken out of his school bag. It seemed like irrefutable evidence, but Xue Yao still insisted on defending himself: "I didn't steal it. I don't know why the golden tortoise got into my school bag."
"Haha, the evidence is irrefutable, and you're still trying to argue." Wei Jinbao, with his back to the crowd, silently gestured to Xue Yao, "You're done."
Xue's house.
Xue Huan was in the kitchen, soaking large bones with clean water to wash away the blood. She planned to make spicy sauce with large bones in the evening.
The maid Cui Cui suddenly ran in hurriedly: "Miss, a boy just came to say that the second young master had an accident in the academy!"
The large bone stick in Xue Huan's hand slipped and fell into the basin, splashing water onto her face. "What the hell is going on?"
She took off her apron, wiped her hands, threw it on the shelf, and strode out.
"I, I don't know either. I heard what the young man said, so I hurried to tell the girl." Cui Cui panted.
"Where's the little brother?"
"In the front hall."
As they were talking, Xue Huan had already arrived at the front hall and saw a handsome young man dressed as a servant standing inside.
Upon seeing him, the servant immediately said, "You are Young Master Xue's sister, right? My master is a good friend of Young Master Xue. Young Master Xue was accused of stealing in the academy, and the matter has been reported to the dean. My master asked me to come and inform you."
"Thank you." Xue Huan immediately took a carriage to the academy.
The Ye family's carriage fell behind.
"Xue Yao, your guilt is clear in front of everyone, and you still want to quibble? You are so stubborn! I wanted to give you a chance to reform since this is your first offense, but now it seems that's no longer necessary! You should pack up your things and go home now. Fengchi Academy has no place for thieves like you!"
When Xue Huan rushed over, she happened to hear these words.
A surge of anger rose in her heart, and she walked over, "Ayao!"
"Sister!" Xue Yao looked over immediately.
The others also looked over and were surprised when they saw Xue Huan. They had thought that based on Xue Yao's appearance, his sister must also be tall and strong, but they didn't expect her to be so slim and beautiful.
For a moment, many people were stunned.
At this moment, a cold snort sounded, and everyone came back to their senses.
Seeing that Dean Zhang looked unhappy, the students all felt sympathetic and didn't dare to look at Xue Huan anymore.
Xue Huan walked over and stood with Xue Yao. Before she could say anything, Zhang Jianyuan, who had snorted coldly earlier, demanded, "Who are you? How dare a woman like you barge into this academy? The concierge is truly incompetent."
His words were full of contempt for women.
Xue Huan didn't bother to argue with him about stupid questions like whether women could enter the academy. "I'm Xue Yao's sister. May I ask the abbot why you accuse my brother Xue Yao of stealing?"
Wei Jinbao jumped out and said, "What slander! He stole my golden turtle, and everyone saw it."
"Oh? How can you be sure he stole it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Huan moved her fingers, and a truth talisman was silently attached to Wei Jinbao.
Wei Jinbao was very proud: "I asked Jia Bin to secretly put the golden tortoise into his school bag, and then I took it out of his school bag in front of everyone, so it naturally became Xue Yao who stole it."
Everyone present: "..."
Wei Jinbao covered his mouth in horror. How could he say what was really in his heart?
That's not the case, I—
"Mother said that as long as I accomplish this, this golden turtle will be mine, and she will take me to the capital."
Wei Jinbao: “!!!”
After blurting out two big news uncontrollably in a row, he didn't dare to speak again.
Unfortunately, everyone present heard what he said just now, and he couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.
Everyone exploded.
"Wei Jinbao is so despicable!"
"I think he should be kicked out of the academy!"
After Wei Jinbao revealed the truth, Zhang Jianyuan's expression changed several times. This idiot! He actually confessed without being asked!
He glanced at Xue Huan with suspicion, "What did you do to Wei Jinbao?"
Xue Huan's tone was playful. "What the abbot said is very interesting. What could I do to Wei Jinbao in public? He has already told the truth. The abbot should know that my brother is innocent, right?"
While speaking, he also put a truth talisman on Zhang Jianyuan.
