Chapter 14 The Master Was Bullied
The next morning.
Shen Jiasui opened her eyes from her sleep. After a moment of daze, she suddenly threw off the quilt, stood barefoot in the room, and looked around.
At this moment, her face really didn't look good.
Baiji heard the noise and entered the room. He was startled when he saw the scene and asked hurriedly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Jiasui stroked his chest with his hand and just murmured: "That's great, that's great..."
Everything that happened yesterday was not a dream. She really went back to the past and was standing in her own boudoir at this moment.
"Baiji, wash up immediately. I want to go and pay my respects to my mother."
She will only feel completely at ease when she sees her mother is well.
Baiji looked at him carefully and saw that Shen Jiasui was indeed fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
After washing up, Shen Jiasui couldn't wait to go to the main courtyard. After having breakfast with Ji Wan, he finally felt at ease.
Shen Zhengsheng was going to attend the morning court and was not in the mansion at the moment.
The mother and daughter were talking about something when Bai Shuang suddenly came in hurriedly and reported: "Madam, Miss, Bai Mu is outside asking to see you."
Shen Zhengsheng and his wife had one son and one daughter. The daughter, Shen Jiasui, was seventeen years old and good at martial arts, while the son, Shen Jiaheng, was fifteen years old and good at literature.
Now Shen Jiaheng is studying in the Imperial College, and Bai Mu is Shen Jiaheng's servant.
The Imperial College had a regulation that, apart from field leave and holiday leave, students usually only had ten-day leave, that is, rest on the first and fifteenth day of every month.
Although there were many children of high-ranking officials in the Imperial College, because the emperor attached great importance to learning and advocated respect for teachers, no one dared to break the rules of the Imperial College.
Today is the 21st. Logically, Bai Mu should stay in the Imperial College with Shen Jiaheng.
Ji Wan and Shen Jiasui looked at each other and knew that Shen Jiaheng must be in trouble in the Imperial College.
If I'm not mistaken, it might be related to the breakup of the engagement with Lu Yunzheng yesterday.
"Let someone in quickly." Ji Wan ordered quickly.
Soon, Bai Mu hurried into the yard. He did not enter the house, but stood outside the door and reported loudly:
"Madam, the young master was bullied in the Imperial College!"
"What!"
Ji Wan was a person who protected her shortcomings, so she quickly stepped out and said coldly, "Bai Mu, tell me in detail what happened!"
Shen Jiasui followed closely, also looking anxious.
Bai Mu was about to speak when he heard the voice, but when he looked up and saw Shen Jiasui, he suddenly fell silent.
Shen Jiasui had no idea what was going on when he saw this, so he just said calmly, "Bai Mu, tell me the truth, don't hide anything."
Bai Mu clenched his hands nervously, and when he saw his wife nod beside him, he mustered up the courage to speak:
"Early this morning, rumors spread throughout the Imperial College, saying... that the young lady was disliked by the young master of the Lu family and her engagement was cancelled."
"The young master naturally didn't believe it, so he argued with those people."
"It's also because they were so harsh in their words, saying that the young lady...the young lady is ugly and looks like a man. No wonder Mr. Lu has fallen in love with someone else."
"The young master was so angry that he started fighting. The other side had more people and they fought back and forth. The young master got beaten a lot."
"I stepped forward to stop him but could not. Seeing that the situation was not good, I did not dare to report it to the Supervisor. After all, it was... the Young Master who started it first. I was afraid that he would be punished, so I came back to report to the Madam."
Bai Mu's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, his eyes became wandering, and he seemed a little guilty.
Shen Jiasui frowned upon seeing this and immediately asked, "Who did Brother Heng hit?"
The Shen family is already prominent in the capital, and ordinary people probably wouldn't dare to talk about her and belittle her in the Imperial College.
Although Brother Heng is young, he acts in an orderly manner. He would only take action if what others said was really too much.
From what Bai Mu said, the other party has a lot of people and is very powerful, so it seems that they must be from a prominent family.
Bai Mu was worried that if he told the matter to the Chief Supervisor, he would favor the other party, so he rushed back, right?
Bai Mu was relieved to see that his young lady had hit the nail on the head, and said truthfully:
"The other party... the other party is the young master of the Minister of Personnel. You hit him on the bridge of his nose and he bled a lot..."
Shen Jiasui was startled. The Minister of Personnel must be the Cui family.
Minister Cui's daughter is the current concubine, the biological mother of the second prince...
No wonder Bai Mu felt guilty, it turned out that the other party was a royal relative.
"well played!"
After listening to this, Ji Wan uttered a low cry and seemed very satisfied.
"What's wrong with the Minister of Personnel? His son was the first to speak foul language. Even if he tells His Majesty, the Cui family will not get away with it!"
"The master will be gone for a while, I'm going to the Imperial College!"
Ji Wan said this and was about to walk out in a hurry.
"mother!"
Shen Jiasui hurriedly stopped his mother.
"Mom, don't worry. This is just some rift between the younger generations. I'll be fine if I go. If you go, this matter will be different."
The capital is full of powerful people, and young people are full of vigor, so some disputes between them are inevitable. As long as they are not too extreme, the elders generally turn a blind eye.
It's the same today. If my mother were to go, the situation would get even worse.
Ji Wan frowned when she heard this, "How can this be possible? Rumors are rampant in the capital right now. If you go there every year, I'm afraid you'll hear some unpleasant things."
Ji Wan naturally understood this logic. She didn't want Shen Jiasui to get hurt, so she stepped in herself.
When Shen Jiasui heard this, she took Ji Wan's hand and said with a smile, "Mother, you underestimate your daughter."
"The ridicule and slander of others are like the wind blowing around me. If I take it seriously, that would be exactly what they want."
"Besides, someone actually said that my daughter is ugly and looks like a man?"
Shen Jiasui opened his arms, turned around in front of Ji Wan, with a smile on his face.
"We are going there today to dispel these rumors!"
Ji Wan looked at Shen Jiasui carefully again and again, and seeing that she was indeed calm, she finally nodded.
Seeing this, Shen Jiasui wanted to leave with Bai Mu.
The separation between men and women in the prosperous dynasty was not very strict, but ordinary ladies from wealthy families did not go out often.
However, as Shen Jiasui was the daughter of a general and practiced martial arts, she did not care about this. Shen Zhengsheng and his wife were reluctant to restrict her, so she was always free to come and go.
As for the Imperial College, Shen Jiasui, as a woman, naturally could not enter. Even if Ji Wan went, according to the rules, she could not step into the gate of the Imperial College.
However, being at the center of this rumor, Shen Jiasui was certain that as soon as she showed up, those who had laughed at her would come out to see what she looked like.
Shen Jiasui had already stepped out of the room when Ji Wan suddenly stopped him.
"No hurry, change your clothes first."
Shen Jiasui was confused when he heard this. Change clothes? At this time?
"Mom, Brother Heng might even be beaten."
Ji Wan waved her hand and was no longer in a hurry.
"Since they are descendants of the Cui family, they are all shrewd people. Even if they are not careful with their words, they are measured in their actions. Heng'er will not die."
"How dare they say you're ugly? Mother will make them open their eyes wide and see how stunningly beautiful my Sui Sui is!"
"Come, come, come. It just so happens that mother made a lot of autumn clothes for you. They were just delivered to you yesterday afternoon."
As Ji Wan spoke, she did not allow Shen Jiasui to refuse and pulled her towards the inner room.
Shen Jiasui: “…”
Baiji followed in happily to serve, wishing that his young lady would slap someone in the face.
Bai Mu: “….”
Master, I didn't see anything. Madam still loves you very much...
