Chapter 88 I Don’t Want You Anymore
The scholars looked at each other in surprise. Isn't this kid too lucky?
You have to know that in order to enter Mingyu Academy, they had to go through many tests, not to mention how torturous it was!
"Master, wait a minute!" Master Li bowed and said, "Is there a rare copy of yours that is still circulating?"
The headmaster laughed heartily. "The reason I dare call this book a unique copy is because it's the only one in the world! If you ask me why I'm so sure, it's because I wrote it myself. No one else in the world has read it except me!"
Master Li stopped talking.
The headmaster glanced at him and said, "A teacher should be open-minded, discerning and eager to learn. From what I have seen today, Master Li seems quite prejudiced against this young man. Why is that?"
Master Li blushed and was speechless.
Ye Yanshun said, "Master Shanzhang, Master Li is dissatisfied with me because I said that his son-in-law, Huo Zhongnian, his most famous student, is a man who seeks fame and reputation."
"Oh?" The headmaster glanced at Huo Zhongyan. "I remember this student Huo wrote some very good articles. You said he was just seeking fame, but do you have any evidence?"
Ye Yanshun said, "If I'm not mistaken, these excellent articles of his all use the arguments I taught him."
"That's not true! Stop slandering me! Although you have a photographic memory, I am more insightful than you when it comes to writing! Why should I use your point of view?" Huo Zhongnian endured the pain and got up from the ground.
Ye Yanshun said calmly, "Over the years, Huo Zhongnian has asked me about his homework many times. I remember everything, such as how to view the saying 'Those who boast of their achievements have no success, and those who are proud of their own achievements will not last long', and how to explain 'The wise follow the times, the foolish act against reason'..."
Ye Yanshun talked freely, and the faces of the people in Mingyu Academy changed drastically.
These are indeed the assignments assigned to students by their academy. It is impossible for outsiders to know so much!
"Last month, Huo Zhongnian asked me what I thought about the saying 'Everything is in its natural state, regardless of size.' I gave him six arguments, and I'll explain them to you one by one below..."
"Shut up! You shut up!" Huo Zhongnian's eyes were red. "Don't listen! I saw that he didn't go to school, so I taught him with good intentions. I didn't expect him to be jealous of me and turn the tables on me, trying to destroy me!"
Ye Yanshun looked at him quietly, "Huo Zhongnian, I actually knew a long time ago that the reason you were so kind to lend me books was just to take advantage of me."
"You..." Huo Zhongnian looked at him in panic.
"I originally thought that as long as I could help you, none of this mattered. But now, you've become increasingly unscrupulous and deranged. I think it's time to tear off your hypocritical mask."
"Is the poem I wrote, 'Watching the Snow in the Heart of the Lake on the Third Day of the Twelfth Month,' the one that got you admitted to Mingyu Academy as an exception?"
"ah!"
The scholars shouted in unison!
People at Mingyu Academy are very familiar with this poem!
Huo Zhongnian attracted everyone's attention as soon as he entered school because of this poem.
"You're not too lazy to even change the title, are you?" Ye Yanshun kept shaking his head. "Do you know why I chose this title? Because the third day of December is my birthday!"
“Oh my God!”
The people at Mingyu College were in an uproar.
"No wonder Huo Zhongnian's talent is sometimes amazing, and his performance is sometimes mediocre!"
"He didn't pass the exam this time, and the teacher said he just didn't perform well! It turns out it wasn't a poor performance at all, it's that he simply has no real talent or knowledge!"
"No, that's not the case!" Huo Zhongnian covered his ears tightly with his hands. "I wrote all of this! I wrote it!"
Ye Yanshun said, "Since that's the case, why don't you ask the headmaster to give us two a test? I'm willing to accompany you to the end."
The headmaster stroked his beard and said, "Huo Zhongnian, are you willing to accept his challenge?"
Huo Zhongnian clutched his head and grabbed his hair, muttering to himself, "Believe me! Believe me! I wrote all that, I wrote all that!"
The dean sneered and turned to look at the scholars. "Huo Zhongnian doesn't dare to accept the challenge. I'm sure you all understand why. As the saying goes, true gold fears no fire. Plagiarized knowledge will eventually be exposed! From today on, Huo Zhongnian is expelled from Mingyu Academy and will never be employed again!"
"No!" Huo Zhongnian shouted in despair and collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud.
"No! Why are you expelling my Zhongnian? He wants to pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official in the future!"
Old Mrs. Huo rushed over like crazy, "My dear relatives, my dear relatives! Please save Zhongnian!"
Master Li's face was full of disgust, "Where did this crazy woman come from? Get out of here!"
"I beg you, Master, for my sake, please don't fire Huo Zhongnian!"
The headmaster sighed and said, "If he can accept the challenge and prove his innocence, I will take back what I said."
Master Li ran up to Huo Zhongnian and said, "Zhongnian, get up! You have to prove yourself!"
Huo Zhongnian seemed to have lost his soul and let him push and shove him without any reaction.
Master Li's head was buzzing, and he slapped Huo Zhongnian fiercely. "Huo Zhongnian, tell me the truth, your talent is not really stolen, right?"
The pain on his cheek made Huo Zhongnian raise his head and stare at Master Li in a daze.
Master Li said with deep sorrow, "Huo Zhongnian, I married my own daughter to you! I didn't mind your poverty or the fact that you were already married. I insisted on marrying Yueliu to you because I believed that one day you would pass the imperial examination!"
"Now you say you're just a liar who stole my reputation! What do you want Yue Liu to do? What do you want me to do? Huo Zhongnian, you deserve to die!"
As he said this, he pushed Huo Zhongnian hard.
Old Mrs. Huo rushed over to protect her son, "My dear in-laws, please don't go too far! How can my Zhongnian not be worthy of your daughter? Your daughter is lazy and greedy, lying in bed all day, wishing she could be fed. She has never been filial to me, her mother-in-law, and have I ever said anything bad about her?"
Master Li was startled by the disheveled appearance of Mrs. Huo. "Are you really Huo Zhongnian's mother?"
Didn’t Huo Zhongnian say that his mother was the most educated, gentle and respectful?
"How could it be false?" Old Mrs. Huo said loudly.
Master Li was so disgusted by the stench that his head was spinning. "I was so blind to marry my daughter off to such a vulgar family! This is marriage fraud! I'm suing you! You must pay compensation and divorce!"
"Hahaha!" Huo Zhongnian suddenly laughed like a madman, "You said I cheated on you? How dare you say I cheated on you?"
Master Li was stunned.
"Master Li, my good father-in-law! Don't think I don't know the good things you've done! Was Li Yueliu an innocent girl when she married me?"
Master Li's eyes widened and he lowered his voice, "Are you crazy? Do you know what you're talking about? Yue Liu is pregnant with your child!"
"My own flesh and blood?" Huo Zhongnian laughed crazily again. "Li Yueliu got pregnant secretly, and you were afraid you couldn't hide the scandal, so you found an honest man from a poor family to be the scapegoat. I'm the one you chose! You don't think I really know nothing, do you?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Master Li's face flushed and his neck thickened. "You're a beast in human form! You've insulted my reputation and ruined my daughter's innocence. I won't let you go! From today on, my Li family won't have a son-in-law like you! Just wait for the divorce papers!"
After saying that, he turned away.
