Seeing Rong Xu's bewildered expression, Aunt Wang became even more furious: "You dare say that wasn't your doing? Your wife is pregnant and unwell, so if she wanted to eat fish, she could have caught it herself. Why did you have to make my son do it? My son was so young, and because of your request, he fell headfirst into the water and couldn't be saved. Are you satisfied now? What kind of husband are you? Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"
“Aunt Wang, I never mentioned Qing Si wanting to eat fish to anyone. Apart from the homework I assigned, I never let him do anything else. Why are you trying to smear me?” Rong Xu’s cold eyes looked at her, making Aunt Wang shiver involuntarily.
"If it wasn't you, who else could it be? Xing'an had said before that he would send a fish to his master's wife to help her recover, but I didn't agree at the time. Today, someone fished it out of the water, and the person was already dead."
As she spoke, Aunt Wang burst into tears: "My son, it's all my fault. I put you in front of this heartless teacher. If I had known this would happen, I should have sent you to a better school, far away from this wicked teacher..."
She cried and started cursing loudly, cursing the Wang family for being heartless and ungrateful, ignoring the life and death of her and her son, and for being cowardly and weak, and for not seeking justice for them.
Lu Qingsi initially tried to persuade her, but seeing that she was getting more and more worked up and crying louder and louder, she finally stood aside and remained silent.
Rong Xu watched coldly from the side, and only spoke after Aunt Wang's voice had quieted down a bit: "I have never made him do anything. If you don't believe me, you can ask those who are close to Xing'an. Not only that, there are so many eyes watching in the school. It's impossible that everyone is lying to you."
Grandma Wang's crying stopped abruptly.
Rong Xu ignored her, and after comforting Lu Qingsi, he went out.
Lu Qingsi knew that he had gone to see Wang Xing'an. Lu Qingsi had also heard him mention how smart and well-behaved this student was, but unfortunately his family didn't like him very much.
That's why he worked so hard, trying to gain recognition from some people.
Rong Xu acknowledged him and gave his master his approval. Lu Qingsi could also understand that this time the child had acted on his own initiative, wanting to repay Rong Xu's kindness, but unfortunately fate was too cruel, and he lost his life because of this accident.
With Rongxu in the process, the funeral should be completed quickly.
However, Wang Xing'an passed away too early, and his parents are still alive. The funeral certainly cannot be held in a grand manner. In addition, their family was not well-off to begin with, and now they are trying to save money wherever possible.
Lu Qingsi touched her belly, and a trace of melancholy flashed in her eyes as she thought of Wang Xing'an.
Wang Xing'an's matter was like a stone thrown into water, splashing up a few drops, but quickly returning to calm.
Unfortunately, the stone ended up in the water, just like what Aunt Wang had said before, which was overheard by some people around her.
They still harbored some resentment towards Rong Xu and his wife, and were no longer as close as before.
Lu Qingsi was a sensitive person to begin with, so how could she not sense it now?
Rong Xu was also quieter than usual; he was already a man of few words, but he spoke even less.
Not to mention that the number of people in the academy gradually decreased until there were none left, leaving only Rong Xu as the teacher.
From then on, Rong Xu stayed at home, ignoring everything else.
