Lu Qing'er went back and had her injuries examined by the doctor. She woke up not long after. Feng Muwan only disciplined her and didn't hit her hard, but her face was a little more injured.
Lu Qing'er opened her eyes and found that she had returned to her residence. Seeing her grandfather sitting at the table drinking tea, tears streamed down her face.
"Grandpa, you must avenge me this time! I only said a few bad things about Feng Muwan behind her back, and she beat me up like this. How am I supposed to live in the academy from now on?"
Elder Lu ignored Lu Qing'er and continued drinking his tea.
When Lu Qing'er saw that her grandfather was ignoring her, she simply burst into tears.
"Grandpa, how could you do this to me? I'm injured! How can you not care?"
Elder Lu then put down his teacup and looked at Lu Qing'er with a calm expression. Lu Qing'er was so frightened by her grandfather's appearance that she dared not cry anymore.
"Lu Qing'er, do you know where you went wrong? You went wrong because all you did after you failed was cry, without knowing where you went wrong. You went wrong because of your mouth. Why did you talk badly about others behind their backs? How did you talk badly about them? Did you feel good about it? If you were so capable, why didn't you surpass Feng Muwan in cultivation and studies?"
“You’ve never had the slightest ambition. If Feng Muwan hadn’t disdained to bother with you, how many times do you think you would have died? Although I am the Third Elder of this academy, I am ultimately no higher than the Dean. Feng Muwan has so many people backing her up, yet you always deliberately pick fights. How do you think you’ve survived until now?”
When Lu Qing'er heard her grandfather praising Feng Muwan like that, she immediately became unhappy: "Grandpa, do you think Qing'er is useless, and that's why you like Feng Muwan more? And you are especially serious when you teach her."
Elder Lu snorted coldly: "Was it because I taught diligently? It was because they had a strong learning ability. If you're talking about teaching diligently, I'm your grandfather. Why don't you ask me what you don't know? You're just busy finding fault with others every day."
Lu Qing'er turned her little face away: "Grandpa only knows how to praise others to belittle his own granddaughter."
Elder Lu was extremely disappointed to see his granddaughter refusing to listen to advice.
"Once you've recovered from your injury in the next few days, you can go home first."
Lu Qing'er looked at her grandfather in confusion: "Grandpa, you want to send me away because of this little thing? No way, I'm not going home."
Elder Lu glanced at her: "While you were unconscious, the Dean had already given the order that Instructor Feng and Instructor Rong would not be teaching because of you, so he did some accounting for the academy. Over the past few years, they have been teaching the disciples unconditionally, and there are also the medicinal herbs and pills for the Alchemy Academy, as well as the seasonal clothing for the academy's disciples. All of this adds up to 234,000 taels, and you will have to pay for it. After all, it was you who caused this trouble."
"What? Why should I pay for it? It's not like I'm using it myself!"
Elder Lu declared, "If you're not going to pay, am I supposed to? With Instructor Feng and Instructor Rong gone, everything in this academy will probably be worse than before. Besides, many disciples have already gathered at my academy gate because of you, preventing them from hearing Instructor Feng and Instructor Rong's lessons. You'd better figure it out yourself. If you don't pay, then you can expect the Lu family to be wiped out."
He had already done everything he could for the Lu family. The only reason he came to the academy was because their good son had kicked him out of the house. Even though he thought his cultivation was quite high in his small town, he couldn't withstand a bowl of poisoned porridge from his own son until Rong Jin saved him. Now, he was taking care of this granddaughter at the academy only because of that tiny bit of bloodline. Besides the parties involved, only Rong Jin knew this truth.
He never expected that he would raise his granddaughter to be so wretched. As for what happens to them in the future, what does it have to do with him?
After Elder Lu finished speaking, he turned and left.
Lu Qing'er finally understood that what her grandfather had said was true; he wasn't joking. If he wanted her to go home and get over two hundred thousand taels of silver, wouldn't her parents kill her?
She originally thought that she was able to come to the academy because she behaved well at home and her parents spoiled her. However, her grandfather later told her that the reason she was sent to the academy was because her mother had given birth to a younger brother and wanted to send her away.
She initially didn't believe it at all, but after seeing it with her own eyes when she got home, how could she not believe it? Although the Lu family was wealthy, her mother had said that all the family's money belonged to her younger brother and had nothing to do with her. Girls would all get married in the future, so there was no need to give her money; otherwise, it would all belong to someone else in the future.
Now she wants to go home and get more than 200,000 taels of silver. Ha, even killing her wouldn't be worth that much silver.
Why? Why? Why are you all treating me like this?
She hated everything—her parents, her brother, her grandfather, Feng Muwan, and everyone who had wronged her.
She will definitely find a chance to take revenge in the future.
No matter how much she hated her, Feng Muwan didn't care. Only strength could prove everything; what use was hatred?
