Madam Sunâs expression changed. She looked at Madam Wu, hoping that she would say more, but Madam Wu was simply making something out of nothing.
Facing Gu Yundongâs pressure, Madam Wu did not have any confidence. She could only grit her teeth and hold her hands tightly.
However, her mind was blank and she could not find any words to refute.
Master Wen almost fainted. He felt more and more people around him, and the way they looked at him was getting worse.
Even the students who had run out to watch the show began to whisper.
Gu Yundong looked at Master Wen. âSay something. Whereâs the evidence? Did a dog eat your conscience when you were hurting a child like this?â
âYou, you, donât pester me here.â
âBecause you canât reason with me, you say that Iâm pestering you endlessly. Let everyone be the judge. Whoâs in the wrong in this matter? Whoâs pestering someone else endlessly and refusing to admit their mistake? Whoâs disregarding human lives and ruining a childâs future?â
After Gu Yundong finished speaking, someone beside him immediately shouted, âI say, Master Wen, you said that the child was a thief. Show me the evidence.â
âThatâs right. What right do you have to say that the childâs father canât give him 50 copper coins as a reward? I even gave my child a tael of silver as New Yearâs money.â
âI think he just thinks that the child is easy to bully because he came from the countryside and doesnât have a backer. He might as well find a scapegoat.â
âYou think you can be a teacher and educate others? Fortunately, my child hasnât come here to study. These few days, Iâm thinking of sending my child over to be enlightened. Forget it, Iâll go back and find another school.â
âFortunately, you didnât send your child over. Otherwise, if something was missing from the school, they might even chase your child out.â
There were more and more voices, and they were getting louder. At this moment, Master Wen wished he could find a hole to hide in.
Madam Sun glared at Madam Wu fiercely, angry that she was actually using her.
In the end, he had no choice. Seeing that the accusations around him were getting louder and louder, Master Wen was afraid that the entire town would be attracted over. He could only take a deep breath and say, âThis is indeed my mistake. I misjudged Chen Jingwen.â
After saying that, he looked at Chen Jingwen and said, âThe decision to expel you from the school is canceled. Youâre still a student of Wen Mo Hall. Come back to class with me.â
Gu Yundong wanted to spit in his face. You want to let it go so easily after wronging someone? No way.
She looked down at Niu Dan beside her. âAre you going back to school?â
Gu Yundong did not want him to continue, but Niu Dan was not her biological younger brother after all. She could not decide for him on this matter.
Unexpectedly, Niu Dan shook his head vigorously. âIâm not going. Iâm not going to this school to study anymore.â
Gu Yundong rubbed his head and smiled. She looked up. âDid you hear that?â
When Master Wen heard this, he nodded regretfully. âSince youâve decided, I wonât force you. I was your teacher, and I hope that your future will be bright.â
With that, he turned around and walked in impatiently.
However, he had just taken a step when Shao Qingyuan suddenly reached out to stop him.
Master Wen was stunned and suddenly looked up. âWhat else do you want?â
âMaster Wen is really interesting. Since you admit that you wronged Chen Jingwen and cleared him of the crime of stealing something, shouldnât you return the fifty copper coins?â
Master Wenâs body stiffened. He turned around abruptly. âYou, youâ¦â
