Chapter 598 Who is the scum? I think you are the one!
Lin Jiayou concentrated on answering the questions, but Wang Hao was absent-minded. He frequently glanced at Lin Jiayou's pen holder, waiting for the opportunity.
Master Li stood up, walked down the platform slowly, and began to collect the test papers in order.
Just as his hand was about to touch Lin Jiayou's paper, Wang Hao suddenly jumped up from his seat, and the sound echoed throughout the entire dormitory.
"Teacher, please stay! I want to expose Lin Jiayou for cheating in the exam!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar.
Everyone's eyes, whether surprised, suspicious, or gloating, were instantly focused on Lin Jiayou.
A follower beside Wang Hao had already received instructions and immediately pretended to be indignant. He rushed to Lin Jiayou's desk in three or two steps, reached into the pen holder, and then held up a folded note high.
"Master, please look, here is the evidence!"
Master Li's face turned pale instantly. He walked over quickly and snatched the note from the follower's hand.
Unfolding it, he saw it was densely covered with small characters. The handwriting was surprisingly similar to Lin Jiayou's daily homework. At Bailu Private School, cheating was a serious offense punishable by expulsion.
"I didn't cheat." Lin Jiayou slowly stood up and faced everyone's gaze. His voice was calm but firm. "This note is not mine. Master, please understand."
"With all the evidence and witnesses, you still dare to quibble!" Wang Hao saw this, his face full of unconcealed pride and satisfaction. "You usually pretend to be a decent person, but I didn't expect you to be such a scum with corrupt character!"
Just when Wang Hao was shouting the most wildly, the door of the dormitory was suddenly pushed open from the outside with a bang.
"Who is the scum? I think you are the one!"
Gu Qingchen stood at the door with his hands on his hips, with Qian Zhenyun, who was panting, beside him.
Her eyes were wide open, and she rushed in aggressively like a tigress protecting her cubs.
When Lin Jiayou saw them, his eyes were full of surprise.
Master Li's brows knitted together. "Gu Qingchen? Qian Zhenyun? Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be grounded for three months?"
"I..." Gu Qingchen scratched his head, his eyes rolled, and he said confidently, "My mother asked me to bring you some snacks. When I got to the door, I heard a dog barking, so I came in to take a look!"
She couldn't say she ran away secretly.
She quickly walked up to Master Li, glanced at the note, snatched it away, pointed at Wang Hao and sneered, "Master, Wang Hao is lying! He wrote this note himself to frame Jiayou!"
Wang Hao's face changed, and he said calmly, "You're talking nonsense! It's clearly Lin Jiayou's handwriting!"
"Yeah?"
Gu Qingchen turned the note over and pointed to an almost ignored corner in the lower right corner, where the words "Wang Hao" were written in very small handwriting.
"Then how do you explain that your name is on it?"
She and Gungun had long anticipated that a villain like Wang Hao would definitely find a way to make trouble for Lin Jiayou during the monthly exam, so they made preparations in advance.
Master Li came closer and took a look. He was so angry that he trembled all over and slammed the table.
"Wang Hao! How dare you frame a classmate in the exam room!"
Wang Hao's face turned pale in an instant, his legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Someone come! Go to the Minister of War's residence and invite Madam Wang over!" Master Li was furious.
In less than half an hour, a woman dressed in fancy clothes and with a mean face rushed in. It was Wang Hao's mother, Mrs. Wang.
She didn't even look at her son on the ground. She first looked up and down at Lin Jiayou with a squint, and a trace of undisguised contempt appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Master Li, are you disturbing me just for this wild boy who came from nowhere?"
She covered her nose with a handkerchief, as if the air here had polluted her eyes. "Even if our Hao'er is a little naughty, is it really necessary for him to get on with such an uneducated and inferior person?"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Qingchen's anger rose. Just as he was about to speak, a clear and gentle voice came from outside the school.
"Oh? I'd like to hear what kind of inferior people Madam Wang thinks the people in Prince Yong's Mansion are?"
When everyone heard the voice and looked, they saw a young man in brocade clothes walking in slowly. He had a handsome face, a graceful temperament, and a noble air between his eyebrows.
When Lin Jiayou saw the person coming, he stood up straight and called out respectfully, "Uncle, why are you here?"
The person who came was the young prince of Prince Yong's Mansion, Lin Jingchuan.
Lin Jingchuan ignored Madam Wang, whose expression changed drastically. He walked straight to Lin Jiayou, reached out and touched his head, and said with heartache in his voice, "Why didn't you tell me when you were bullied?"
Lin Jiayou lowered his head: "I don't want to cause trouble for my uncle."
With Lin Jingchuan's support, Mrs. Wang's arrogance was immediately diminished.
Seeing this, Gu Qingchen quietly tugged at Lin Jiayou's sleeve and said in a low voice, "We ran away secretly. We have to go back quickly, otherwise my mother will punish me again."
"Your uncle should be a good one, right?"
Lin Jiayou looked at her nervous and anxious expression and nodded. He knew that his uncle would come because Gu Qingchen sent someone to deliver the letter.
He looked at her and said seriously, "Thank you."
"You're so polite!" Gu Qingchen waved his hand proudly, "Aren't we good friends?"
After she finished speaking, she grabbed Qian Zhenyun, who was still in a daze, and shouted, "Get out of here, run!"
The two of them disappeared at the door like two little rabbits escaping from a cage, leaving behind only a room full of people and a reckoning that had just begun.
Mrs. Wang's legs went weak and she could hardly stand. She quickly knelt down and saluted.
"My Lord, please forgive me! Yes, I am a slut who has lost sight of the great man and has spoken nonsense. I beg you to be magnanimous and not to bother with a woman like me!"
Lin Jingchuan didn't ask her to get up. He just walked slowly to Wang Hao, who was lying on the ground, and looked down at him.
"You are the son of the Minister of War?"
Wang Hao was already frightened out of his wits. He looked up at Lin Jingchuan, whose shadow completely enveloped him.
"Yes, yes, student... student Wang Hao..."
"Very good." Lin Jingchuan nodded, then turned to Master Li and nodded slightly, "Master Li, I want justice for what happened today."
Master Li quickly bowed and said, "Young Prince, please speak."
"According to the rules of Bailu Private School, what should be done for framing a classmate and having bad behavior?" Lin Jingchuan asked.
Master Li's face turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "According to the rules, he will be expelled immediately and will never be hired again!"
"Dismiss?" Mrs. Wang screamed, not caring about etiquette, and rushed over and grabbed Master Li's sleeve.
"Master, this is impossible! Our Hao'er was just confused for a moment. Please give him another chance! Our Minister's Mansion will definitely reward him handsomely!"
Master Li shook her hand away in disgust, his expression becoming even uglier.
"Madam Wang! This is a school for teaching and educating people, not a place for you to negotiate business!"
Lin Jingchuan watched all this coldly. He did not stop Mrs. Wang from crying. Instead, he waited for her voice to subside before speaking slowly.
"I know you look down on Jiayou because his father was a member of the Wei family, a criminal whose property was confiscated and whose clan was exterminated."
He frankly spoke of this shameful past, leaving both Mrs. Wang and Wang Hao stunned.
"But," Lin Jingchuan changed the subject, his eyes suddenly sharp, "you should remember that his mother is my sister, the legitimate princess of Prince Yong's Mansion. He has half the blood of Prince Yong flowing in his veins!"
"Even if the people of Prince Yong's Mansion have fallen on hard times, it's not your turn to bully them!"
Prince Yong’s Mansion is quiet, but that doesn’t mean it’s dead!
"Master," Lin Jingchuan looked at Master Li again, "Whether to expel him or not is the private school's rule. I can't interfere."
"But today, both mother and son must solemnly apologize to my nephew for their words and actions."
Mrs. Wang pulled her son to apologize. It’s true that words can cause trouble!
Lin Jiayou stood there, accepting the gift from the mother and son with an expressionless face, neither saying forgiveness nor not forgiveness.
Lin Jingchuan watched this scene with satisfaction, and then said to Master Li, "Master, I'm sorry to bother you today. Jiayou is injured and frightened. I want to take him back home to recuperate for a few days. I hope you will allow me to do so."
"Of course, of course." Master Li agreed immediately.
Lin Jingchuan took Lin Jiayou's hand and led him out of the school.
When he passed by the mother and son of the Wang family, he paused and said coldly in a voice that only they could hear:
"If you do this again, I will demand more than just an apology."
