Chapter 154 A vivid lesson
Yang's eyes flickered, and she was a little hesitant.
But if her son can't come here to study, not only will it be difficult for the family to support him... there is really no hope for him to make a breakthrough!
The teachers and classmates here are a thousand times better than those in the private schools in the countryside. Seeing that the life of the firewood room is getting better and better, she knows how much subsidy the academy has received!
"I don't care! If that's the case, let Dalang come back home and we won't study anymore!" Yang turned her face away.
Pu Qiongzhi laughed out loud now, "Great! This happens to save me a penny! Your son may not pass the exam, but this may not be the case for my nephew!"
"That's right! This young master just lost a competitor!" Nangong Jiayu immediately joined in.
The dean and the teacher beside him were also a little anxious, "Master, this..."
"Master, I'm a businessman, driven by profit. Since we can't reach an agreement, I won't waste any more time on it!"
"He's just a student. The Liang Dynasty is full of scholars, and Xu Zhengqing is no exception!" Pu Qiongzhi said, extending her hand towards Xu Zhengqing. "Please come in. What are you waiting for?"
Xu Zhengqing's clenched fists finally loosened. His body trembled as he clasped his hands together. "I am sorry for bothering you, Master. I will leave now. I wish you success in everything you do."
"No! Dalang! Didn't you pass the exam? How can you just leave like this?! How can your academy just give up on you like that..."
Chang Xinyuan, who was watching from the side, couldn't stand it any more and stepped forward to sarcastically say, "What? I trained a student for your family for nothing, and you still want the master to support your whole family? She's the mistress of the Earl's Mansion, there's no way she'd throw money at your family like that! She hasn't done anything great, and you're showing off here! How dare you! Do you think her money came from the wind? All sorts of people are trying to get in on the action!"
Yang still wanted to make a scene here, but Zhaocai in Du Linkuan's arms could no longer restrain himself and wanted to pounce on her and bite her.
Xu Zhengqing tugged at her sleeve, "Let's go! Aunt! I don't want me anymore! Are you satisfied now?"
"Master Nangong, I am not very familiar with the laws of Daliang. I have heard that in our dynasty there has always been a saying that if the people do not report it, the officials will not investigate. What is this crime of 'lack of support'?" Pu Qiongzhi asked Nangong Yu casually.
Nangong Yu was stunned. Although she didn't react, she subconsciously answered her question, "It means telling lies and cursing grandparents and parents. When grandparents and parents are still alive, they have separate residences and property, and if they are unable to provide for them; when they are in mourning for their parents, they marry themselves, and if they enjoy music, they let go of obedience to be considered auspicious; when they hear of the death of their grandparents and parents, they hide their sorrow and do not mourn, falsely claiming that their grandparents and parents are dead."
Pu Qiongzhi blinked, not expecting her to be so stunned. Then she sighed, "I wonder if Young Master Xu would do something when he's unhappy and has nowhere else to turn?"
After she finished speaking, she chuckled and pulled the stunned Qiao aside, "Sister Qiao, didn't you say you'd take you to the library today? It's really bad luck to delay you for such a while! I'm sorry to have embarrassed you! Let's go now?"
"This... isn't... eh...?" Shanzhang Luo was a little bewildered, looking at Xu Zhengqing who was leaving and Pu Qiongzhi who came in, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Chang Xinyuan and Lu Yongrui carried the old lady on their left and right, and strode into the library.
"Principal, the great scholar is still waiting for you! Don't look back! Do you still want Xu Zhengqing to come back and study?!" Chang Xinyuan almost squeezed out a few words of warning from between his teeth.
When Luo Simo heard her words, he immediately shut up and followed her in obediently.
"I've heard that Madam Nangong is well-versed in laws, and today I finally get to see it!" Ding Momo followed Nangong Yu with golden light in her eyes.
Nangong Yu was a little overwhelmed by how to deal with this princess, but still smiled calmly at her.
"Don't be afraid. Pu Qiongzhi has always been cruel and ruthless. That shrew will not get away with it!" Ding Momo continued.
Nangong Yu glanced at her, then said calmly, "Anyone who falsely accuses others will be punished. Even officials who make false accusations based on personal reasons will be punished the same way. False accusations are those who have a grudge against one another, and those who falsely accuse others based on personal reasons and fabricate accusations are also considered false accusations..."
"..." Ding Momo looked at her speechlessly, then widened the distance between them, pretended nothing had happened, turned around and followed the teachers into the library.
She needs to stay away from these people in the future! Most of the people in the Nangong family are sick!
Nangong Yu saw her walking in front angrily, and looked at Pu Qiongzhi's jeweled figure in the distance, and couldn't help but laugh softly.
This sister-in-law is really interesting! She has never seen anything like it in her life!
"You little rascal, how could you be so overbearing? You even let someone die without a burial place? Do you usually bully other classmates like this?" Qiao was so angry that she wanted to twist Du Linkuan's ears. "Be careful or I'll ask your grandfather to punish you!"
"Mom! If you don't say this, can you scare that shrew?!" Du Linkuan yelled.
"Hey! You kid, do you know what a shrew is?" Qiao glared at her.
Pu Qiongzhi quickly tugged at Mrs. Qiao's sleeve and said, "Sister Qiao, Young Master Du was also trying to help Young Master Xu today. Although his methods were dishonorable, he was still chivalrous and righteous, so he shouldn't be criticized."
"Madam, Young Master Du has never bullied us. Please don't misunderstand him." Nangong Jiayu added, "We were just joking just now, and we were just trying to cooperate with Auntie. We are usually very good friends!"
"Who is so nice to you! Stop being so self-indulgent!" Du Linkuan's face flushed red and he roared.
Nangong Jiayu looked indifferent, "Don't be so stingy! It's rare for me to praise you..."
"Good boy, I am good friends with your aunt, you can just call me aunt! My son Kuan'er must have caused you a lot of trouble every day, right? Fortunately, he has a classmate like you, which is really a blessing! If you have free time, feel free to come to my house and play!" Qiao was very friendly when she saw Nangong Jiayu.
Nangong Jiayu also played the role of a good boy, "Thank you, auntie!"
“…” Pu Qiongzhi looked at Du Linkuan, then at the other students, and then at her nephew.
How come we are all children of the same age, and everyone else has grown taller and stronger, looking like teenagers, but my child still looks like a child.
"Aunt, can Xu Zhengqing come back?" He asked on behalf of other classmates.
Du Linkuan also stared at Pu Qiongzhi nervously.
"Of course!" Pu Qiongzhi said with a smile, "Aunt has made a backup plan, I guarantee he'll be back tomorrow!"
"..." Ding Momo leaned in close, listening intently. Although she felt relieved after hearing this, she still muttered, "It really is Pu Qiongzhi, full of tricks! So insidious!"
"Princess, I can hear you." Pu Qiongzhi said slowly.
Ding Momo put her hands on her hips and said, "Of course! If you want to say something bad about someone, you have to say it to their face, otherwise my words will be in vain!"
Pu Qiongzhi and Qiao Qihuai looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
