Chapter 2457 Extra: Ah Yun, Your Disguise Has Been Exposed
When Meng Yunzheng came out of the palace, it was already completely dark.
Today was the last day of the lectures, and he wouldn't need to come tomorrow. Therefore, after the lectures ended, a banquet was held in the palace, and after Meng Yunzheng finished his dinner, he was summoned by the emperor for a private audience.
Knowing that this parting might be the last time they saw each other, the two chatted for a long time.
If he hadn't needed to leave the palace before the gates were closed, he probably wouldn't have been able to leave.
It was too late, so Meng Yunzheng didn't waste a moment and went straight to the inn in his carriage. As a result, he didn't notice that the servant sent by Prince Zheng was waiting there not far away and was about to call out to him.
The carriage moved quickly and stopped after a short while.
Meng Yunzheng carried a food box. He remembered that when he brought Mianmian to the palace last time, she really liked the pastries from the imperial kitchen, so he brought her a box this time.
He was in high spirits, but as soon as he lifted his hem and stepped inside, he looked up and saw a group of people standing up in the lobby downstairs.
Meng Yunzheng was stunned. He frowned slightly when he met the burning and expectant gazes of Senior Brother Yan and many other students.
"What are you all doing here? Did you encounter some difficulties during the debate at the teahouse today?"
Judging from their expressions, this is quite a challenge.
He counted briefly and found that all the students from Zhenglu Academy were there.
Meng Yunzheng thought for a moment and took a few more steps forward, but all the students took a step back in unison.
Meng Yunzheng, "..."
Finally, Senior Brother Qiao couldn't hold back any longer and asked uncertainly yet excitedly, "Headmaster, are you really Mr. Shanju?"
Meng Yunzheng was surprised. How did they know?
He looked at everyone one by one, and each of them had a particularly complicated expression in their eyes.
Can it not be complicated?
From the moment they learned the truth that afternoon, they had been in a daze.
Who would have thought that the Mr. Shanju they often mentioned was right in front of them? I remember they had talked about it before, saying that the two paintings that Mr. Shanju painted for Lu Ji were actually the scenery of his own academy.
They also regretted that if they had gone to Zhenglu Academy a few years earlier, they might have been able to meet Mr. Shanju, who was painting at the time.
When they said those words, the headmaster was right beside them, and his calm, indifferent demeanor was something they still remember vividly.
Little did they know, the very person they were talking about was right beside them—their own headmaster.
Master Meng... he deceived them so badly.
Thinking of this, the students still looked somewhat resentful.
Meng Yunzheng coughed lightly and asked, "How did you know?"
Before anyone could answer, Mianmian, who had heard the commotion, ran out and pounced on him, hugging his leg tightly. "Daddy," she cried, looking extremely aggrieved, "My big rabbit is gone."
Meng Yunzheng was taken aback. "What happened?"
"The prince took it." Mianmian was furious.
Meng Yunzheng looked up at Shu Yu, who had followed him out, and asked, "Your Highness? Is this Prince Zheng?"
He knew that the teahouse they went to was owned by Prince Zheng.
Shu Yu stood on the steps, a hint of schadenfreude in her voice, "Yes, this afternoon, your daughter showed everyone in the teahouse her painting for them to admire and critique. Hmm, it's the one she painted of our family of three in all sorts of colors. Husband, do you remember... what's on that painting?"
Meng Yunzheng's pupils contracted; he remembered.
I see, I see.
