Chapter 219 Lin Daiyu is the Dean's Last Disciple
“Miss Xue, whether you are Baochai or Baochun, your household registration is unclear. It is a pity that you cannot be admitted to the academy.” Mi Ling’s voice was filled with deep regret.
Xue Baochai could also tell.
“I think you did this unnecessary thing because you were afraid of being implicated by your brother. Our academy has a special assessment for students with good character, and you had already passed it, but because of the falsification of your household registration, we cannot admit you.”
“Miss Xue, you can enter the academy if you use your original name.”
The saying "killing someone is like destroying their spirit" still haunts Teacher Yu, but he doesn't forget to stab Baochai in the heart again.
The three said their goodbyes and left. Baochai, as if in a daze, suddenly chased after them.
"Teachers, has Princess Lin passed the interview?"
Just as Teacher Yu was about to speak, Mi Ling tugged at her.
"I can't disclose the results of other people's interviews. We'll know when the admission results are announced tomorrow."
Xue Baochai sneered, "When she lived in the Rongguo Mansion, she was domineering, rude, and even beat her maternal uncle's child. If someone with such character can enter a girls' academy, then the rules and regulations of this academy are truly just for show!"
“Sister Bao, there was a reason why Lin Daiyu hit Huan Di. It was because Huan Di disrespected his sisters and spoke rudely. How can that be considered being domineering! Lin Daiyu is the most elegant in her manners. When has she ever been rude or disrespectful?”
Xue Baochai originally intended to speak carelessly, revealing Lin Daiyu's behavior at the Rongguo Mansion from a different angle, perhaps making the academy teachers dislike Lin Daiyu as well.
But little did they expect that Jia Baoyu was still there!
How could Jia Baoyu tolerate anyone saying a bad word about Lin Daiyu in front of him?
Therefore, before the three teachers could speak, Jia Baoyu became anxious.
"Sister Bao, Lin Daiyu has always treated you well. Whenever Uncle Lin sends something from Yangzhou, she always remembers to send you a share, just like all the other sisters in our family. What good does it do you to talk about Lin Daiyu like this? Just because you can't get into the academy, do you want to drag Lin Daiyu down with you?" Jia Baoyu said angrily.
"I never expected Miss Xue to be this kind of person! I'll go home and tell my mother right away, and we'll move all of Xue's belongings out as soon as possible. Even if our house is empty, we can't let someone like you live here!"
Jia Baoyu never expected that Baochai, who usually seemed the most gentle and kind, would speak such vile words today, and even slander the fairy-like Lin Daiyu in his heart. How could he tolerate this!
After saying this, Jia Baoyu stepped out the door. Aunt Xue couldn't catch up in time, so she turned around and glared at Xue Baochai before hurriedly instructing someone to follow him to the Rongguo Mansion.
Aunt Xue didn't even glance at the three teachers who hadn't yet left.
In Aunt Xue's mind, since Xue Baochai could no longer enter the girls' academy, she should return to the Rongguo Mansion and win over Jia Baoyu, this phoenix egg, because the fate of the Xue family would depend on him from now on.
At this point, no one cared about the three teachers; Jia Baoyu was naturally more important.
Xue Baochai was surprised that Jia Baoyu had exposed her lie on the spot, and her face turned red and then pale.
Mi Ling gave her a deep look.
“Miss Xue, if you hadn’t said those words, you could have applied to the girls’ academy again next year using your real name.”
“Teacher Mi…” Baochai felt a little flustered. After all, she was still young and not experienced enough in handling things. At this moment, she felt hopeless about her future.
"Since you care so much about Princess Lin, I might as well tell you. If Princess Lin goes to the academy, it will be a great blessing for our academy. She is the dean's last disciple, and as long as she goes to the academy, our dean will also be willing to return to the academy. Now it's not a question of whether or not we will admit Princess Lin, but whether or not Princess Lin is willing to go to the academy."
Teacher Yu came here today specifically to stab us in the back. When she accepted Xue Baochai's application, she was tricked into successfully registering Xue Baochai during the verification of her household registration information.
Because of this incident, Teacher Yu will be disciplined and will be ineligible to participate in any of the academy's awards and honors this year.
Teacher Yu admired Xue Baochai so much at the beginning, and now she hates herself for being so blind, letting the mother and daughter take advantage of her.
As soon as she finished speaking, she left with Mi Ling and Teacher Ji, completely ignoring Xue Baochai's terrified gaze behind her.
Dean? Closed-door disciple?
When did Lin Daiyu become the last disciple of the headmaster of the girls' academy?
How come she didn't hear a thing?
Could it have happened in the last few months?
No wonder Lin Daiyu had such a great opportunity as soon as she left the Rongguo Mansion and was made a princess.
But wasn't Lin Daiyu granted the title of Princess because of Yuan Hongqu?
Teacher Yu just said that as long as Lin Daiyu is willing to go to the academy, their headmaster will go back.
That means the headmistress of the girls' academy was not located within the academy.
Xue Baochai's mind raced as she thought.
If that's the case, there are two possibilities. One is that the headmistress of the girls' academy admires Lin Daiyu and takes her in as her last disciple. If Lin Daiyu goes to the academy, the headmistress will definitely return.
Another possibility, which is the one Xue Baochai is least willing to admit, but is also the most likely, is that...
Lin Daiyu was with the headmistress of the girls' academy at that moment.
Xue Baochai knew that Lin Daiyu was a student of Yuan Hongqu, who had once been a teacher at a girls' academy.
What if Yuan Hongqu was not only a teacher, but also the headmistress of a girls' academy?
This explains why the palace would invite Yuan Hongqu to oversee the affairs of the country when all nations came to pay tribute, and it also explains why, with just a little guidance from Yuan Hongqu, Wang Xifeng and her husband were able to turn their fortunes around in the Rongguo Mansion.
But why would Yuan Hongqu, as the headmistress of the girls' academy, willingly follow Lin Daiyu and act as her governess, doing those trivial tasks? And it seems that Yuan Hongqu was quite happy to do so.
Thinking of these things, Xue Baochai felt like a sieve, her body went limp and she was about to fall to the ground. Ying'er quickly supported her and helped her to a chair.
She sat there blankly for a long time. Ying'er, seeing that something was wrong, hurriedly sent someone to invite Aunt Xue.
Before long, Aunt Xue and Madam Wang arrived together in a sedan chair.
It turned out that Baoyu had returned home first and then ran to Lady Wang to tell her what he had seen and shouted for people to move the Xue family's things away.
Lady Wang felt that Baochai was right; Lin Daiyu's actions were indeed inappropriate.
However, they managed to calm Baoyu down, and at that moment Aunt Xue arrived.
The two of them coaxed him for a while before they were able to fool Baoyu.
No sooner had Baoyu left than another maid came to report that Miss Bao was not feeling well and asked the concubine to hurry home to check on her.
Aunt Xue was so frightened that her legs went weak, so Madam Wang accompanied her to the Xue family.
"My son! If you can't go to the academy, so be it. Please don't do anything rash. What would I do if something happened to you..."
