Chapter 273 The Power of Friends is Limitless
It was truly an unexpected gathering of the three little ones at the academy.
Qiuqiu was sent here because of a joke, while Princess Funing was taken out for a stroll and met Qiuqiu and the others.
"So, you're saying that the only person here who really needs to study is you, little one?"
Su Xiucheng's untimely words almost brought Lu Diandian, who was fearless, to tears.
After what happened last time, Madam Lu didn't dare let Lu Diandian go to the private school casually anymore. After thinking it over, she put her in the first class of the Qingyang Academy.
Qingyang Academy also accepts female students in its introductory classes, though in relatively small numbers. Lu Diandian is the first female student in the past five years.
It seems that heaven is blessing her, and has sent her two more little friends.
She declared like a little tyrant, "Stay here, I'll protect you!"
Gu Qinghuai, who had just been told by his father that morning that he had a complicated family relationship with Lu Diandian, couldn't sit still any longer. He held down the restless Lu Diandian who was trying to become the boss: "I've already locked your stupid goose in the room. If you dare to bully your classmate, I'll lock it in the kitchen!"
All eyes fell on Gu Qinghuai's hands. [Huh? Why are they together?]
The mischievous look in Qiuqiu's eyes made Gu Qinghuai immediately withdraw his hand. Luckily, Qiuqiu reminded him of the difference between men and women. He explained to everyone, "Actually, I am Lu Diandian's cousin."
"What?!"
Gu Qinghuai's stepmother is related to Madam Lu's family. His father asked him to take better care of Lu Diandian at the academy.
"Moreover, Gu Ling and Gu Wen also came."
After all, children's emotions are written all over their faces, and Gu Qinghuai suddenly felt disappointed. He had brought three people with him in the morning, but as soon as he entered the academy, he left Gu Ling and Gu Wen behind and took Lu Diandian to the introductory class.
Lu Diandian puffed out her chest and boasted to Qiuqiu and Fu Ning, "I'll protect my uncle!"
Gu Qinghuai is good at everything except for being tongue-tied, and he gets bullied by his younger siblings. Of course, the powerful heroine Dian Dian taught them a little lesson!
"Waaah!" The sound of a girl crying came from afar. Everyone instinctively looked for her and saw a little girl in a pink dress with disheveled hair being helped towards them by her brother.
The taller brother wasn't any better off; he still had a bright red slap on his face.
Lu Diandian raised her hand: "Look, a palm the size of a clay pot!"
His five short, chubby fingers waved in front of everyone, proclaiming, "I'm amazing!"
The usually stern Master Song stepped forward and pressed her hand down, "Silence."
He had foreseen that this little girl would one day become a tyrant in the academy.
However, what happened today was really not her or Gu Qinghuai's fault. Gu Qinghuai was always obedient and was one of his favorite students. The senior students from Class A had already told him what had happened at the academy gate.
The brother and sister from the Prince of Zhennan are no pushovers. A few days ago, when the Princess of Zhennan brought them to the academy, they appeared well-mannered and sensible, but in reality, when no adults were around, they brazenly mocked Gu Qinghuai for not having a mother, their words utterly outrageous!
The affair between the Prince of Zhennan and his first wife was no secret in the capital. Master Song had once been moved by the Prince of Zhennan's deep affection for his wife, but the fact that she had died young and that the Prince of Zhennan had remarried less than three years later, neglecting the children left behind by his former wife, chilled him to the bone. Therefore, he felt even more pity for Gu Qinghuai.
I especially dislike this ill-mannered brother and sister.
A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he shouted sternly, "How can the academy tolerate such noise!"
Once you're in Qingyang Academy, everyone will be treated equally. Master Song has no fear of the Prince of Zhennan!
Chirp chirped her little head, "[Teacher is great! Chirp loves it!]"
She's not afraid of the Prince of Zhennan at all! If Gu Ling and Gu Wen dare to bully her friend, she'll beat them to death!
If we can't beat them, then... let Sister Fu Ning beat them up!
Fu Ning cooperated with Qiu Qiu, and Xiao Hei's face became even darker.
Gu Wen was spoiled and had a pampered personality. Today, she was first rendered speechless by Lu Diandian's scolding, then had a clump of her hair pulled, and when her brother came to help, he was slapped. She now hated Lu Diandian to death. The group of people opposite her were staring fiercely at her and her brother, which frightened Gu Wen. She pouted and hid behind Gu Ling.
Gu Ling mustered her courage and greeted Master Song. Master Song, not wanting to be too harsh on the two children, nodded in acknowledgment. He believed that a father's fault lay with his son, and now he simply disliked the Prince of Zhennan and his current wife even more.
"You two have violated the academy's rules. Stand for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn." Master Song said. "Gu Ling and Gu Wen, you will be students of Qingyang Academy from now on. As long as you are students of our academy, you must abide by the rules here. If you bully your classmates again, I will go to your Zhennan Prince's Mansion and ask where your family's upbringing is!"
[Let my dad and Uncle Lu go too!]
Do you really think Brother Qinghuai is a pitiful little thing with no one to back him up?!
Su Xiucheng: "That's right! If you ever bully...bully students of the academy again, I'll go home and tell my father, and he'll go find the Prince of Zhennan!"
With a marquis, a military general, a censor, and a county princess in their family, how could they possibly be afraid of the Prince of Zhennan!
Lu Diandian shouted loudly, "And my dad too!"
Her dad is incredibly eloquent; they'll go to his house together and have a fight.
Fu Ning wasn't familiar with Gu Qinghuai, but at this moment, she showed him special courtesy by stabbing him twice with her small peach wood sword to indicate her stance. Su Xiucheng laughed and proudly boasted to the Gu siblings, "Do you know who this is? Princess Fu Ning! I'll arrest you all and send you to jail to eat rotten cornbread!"
Gu Wen, being a girl, was easily frightened and burst into even louder sobs, crying and screaming that she wanted to go home.
"I don't want to go to school anymore, I want to go home! I want to go home! I want my dad! Dad! Dad! Come and take me home!"
Gu Ling held his sister's hand, trying to calm her down, but it was clearly to no avail. He looked at the group of people with a look of utter dismay and intense resentment: "You said we bullied Gu Qinghuai, so now you're ganging up on us siblings too!"
"Master Song, you keep talking about rules and regulations, is this what the rules of Qingyang Academy are? Let me tell you, my father dotes on my sister and me the most, and Gu Qinghuai is just an outcast of our royal family! Now that you've treated me like this, my father will definitely not let you off!"
Gu Qinghuai, who had been protected at the back of the crowd, stepped forward and slapped Gu Ling across the face in front of everyone.
He shook his hand and looked at the other person coldly: "You're not convinced? I'm your older brother. No matter how much Gu Qiuheng spoils you, my mother is still his lawfully wedded princess. Even your mother has to kowtow and serve tea to her memorial tablet. Do you think you're worthy of barking like a dog?"
“I promised Aunt Jin that I wouldn’t cause trouble and would get along with you properly. If you keep pushing your luck like this, I don’t think there’s any point in getting along with you anymore. This slap will teach you a lesson. Go back and tell Gu Qiuheng that I hit you.”
His friends supported him, and he needed to stand up for himself too!
"If there's a next time, I'll beat you to a pulp!"
Gu Qinghuai spat out a breath, thinking to himself that his efforts had been ruined. He had clearly planned to cultivate his mind and body, but their anger had caused him to waste half a year's worth of work!
Suddenly, Qiuqiu remembered, "Qinghuai used to be a little crazy!"
[They're really good at fighting!]
Gu Qinghuai: "..."
