âWhat support or not support them, Wei Wei, hey, these words of yours were spoken such that even us old men were also reprimanded as well.â In the distance, a pure white bodyâs shadow came over.
Helian Wei Wei evaded the voice and looked over. Her pupils suddenly constricted. Chilly air started forming from within her body, making Yuan Ming, who was concealed in the ancient book, also shiver continually.
Who was it exactly, who could cause such a big change in this girlâs mood?
âPrime Minister Su.â One after another, all of the teachers turned to look at him.
âGrandfather.â Helian Jiao Er also called out in an aggrieved voice, then turned her body around, while crying until she became a person made of tears.
Su Jia Cheng looked at his filial granddaughter who had been bullied to this extent. Immediately, poisonous thoughts formed in his eyes overfilling them, while he smilingly faced Wei Wei and said, âThese two sisters of yours are still young, exactly at the age when they fool around, yet are unable to differentiate between what is serious and what is not. Itâs difficult for them to avoid making mistakes. Youâre older than both of them. If youâd said earlier that the poisonous bee wasnât yours, how could all of us old men have misunderstood you. Principal, what do you say?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tusu Feng didnât say anything.
However, Grandmasterâs pair of eyes opened wide, obviously seeming like he was getting angry.
Wei Wei gripped her own trembling hand tightly.
Truly worthy of being the current prime minister, what a scary mouth.
That year, if it werenât for this mouth, maybe her mother wouldâve been able to endure.
In order to elevate his own daughterâs status from a concubine to a main wife, this person with the heart of a beast, Su Jia Cheng, bribed the two Chang and Li families. He asked them to insist at court that Mother was evil and vicious and filled with jealousy, incapable of tolerating others.
It was from that day forward that mother became the subject of ridicule during tea time chats within the entire capital.
She still remembered that at the time, mother didnât even want to take a step outside the door. It wasnât easy for her mother to finally recover her spirit a little, only to be vexed again by this Su Jia Cheng.
The hand that Wei Wei hid within her sleeve slowly loosened. Donât know if it was because sheâs occupying the deceasedâs body, but those feelings of sorrow and anger felt as if she had experienced them herself.
However, no matter how deep her wrath was, she still needed to endure.
This old fox in front of her eyes wasnât easy to deal with. It was exactly because the previous her was so exasperated that she lost control of herself and did even more stupid things.
The current her was no longer the same. To be victorious again, sheâll need to act based on how the scene unfolded.
âMisunderstanding?â Wei Weiâs voice was level, âPrime Ministerâs word has been misused. It wasnât a misunderstanding, it was that you guys wrongfully accused me.â
Su Jia Chengâs hand paused as it dropped. Wasnât this vile spawn of the Helian family too unappreciative of a kindness that was extended to her? Heâd already given her a way out, yet sheâs still making things serious this way. Sheâs simply asking for suffering!
âGrandmaster, look at how crabby this lassâ disposition is, the same as that mother of hers, rigid in logic and unforgiving. Iâve already recognized the mistake, yet she is unwilling to unclench her bite. This actually is causing me to not know what to do. Grandmaster is the countryâs Royal Advisor, maybe you have a way of dealing with this?â
There were so many people here, yet Su Jia Cheng didnât ask them. He only asked Grandmaster. The reason was because earlier, before coming here, he had already heard that that vile spawn unexpectedly actually dared to curry favor with the grandmaster while the testing was taking place. Also, he had assisted the chancellor at court before, so of course he knew Grandmasterâs character. Surely Grandmaster already detested her and was greatly disgusted. He definitely will stand on this side when speaking.
Furthermore, even though Grandmaster had never bothered with state affairs, he nevertheless held an influential position in court.If he would open his mouth, then no matter how glib that vile spawnâs tongue was, she also could only shut her mouth and eat her losses.
A good-for-nothing little miss who already lost her power should be content with her lot and settle in her place. If sheâs making such efforts to find unhappiness, then donât blame him for being ruthless!
Having heard that, Tusu Feng, who had always been kindly, furrowed his dense eyebrows more and more, and became more and more anxious. Grandmaster had always been unrestrained. Everything he did was based on his own preferences, so a person never knew what he might say next. Itâs very possible that from this point forward, the Helian familyâs young lass would be made to suffer more unfair grievances. Adding to that Grandmasterâs influence within the academy, if even he would reject Wei Wei, then in the future, what Wei Wei would have to face may very well be the entire academyâs rejection.
Thinking up to this point, Tusu Feng was just about to open his mouth.
But an aged personâs voice then sounded out. Within the low and deep voice was an anger never seen before, âForget not admitting to their own deeds, they even insulted my disciple in this way! Rigid in logic and unforgiving? Heh heh, then today we will both be rigid in logic and unforgiving. Anyone unwilling to accept this is welcome to come find me for a discussion!â
Who was it?
Who was it that was speaking?
His tone of voice was totally insolent!
For a period of time, everybody was somewhat unable to respond, until they saw Grandmaster, who shouldâve been sitting at the seat of honor, shake himself and stepped off, quickly arriving in front of Wei Wei. His intent to protect her was very obvious. Everybody was stunned!
Eyes looking at Wei Wei were filled with disbelief and shock!
âOriginally, I really didnât want to speak out.â Grandmasterâs face expressed a strong annoyance. He had really wanted to, in accordance with discipleâs wish, guard this secret with her. However, he didnât anticipate that even with the evidence so clearly displayed, these people nevertheless still could be so thick skinned and claimed that she was rigid in her logic and unforgiving. This put Grandmaster in an especially bad mood!
âSu Jia Cheng, you members of the Su family simply pushed people too far!â Grandmasterâs cold eyes scanned in a full circle, âNo matter who it is, if they made a mistake, they should apologize. You guys not only didnât apologize, instead, like this, you closed in on my disciple step by step. Aah, as a matter of fact, I want to see, now that Iâm here, who still dares to vilify my disciple!â
After hearing these words, all of the teachers deeply gasped in dismay!
Even some of Su Jia Chengâs leg muscles went limp. How, how could it be like this! No matter who it was, they all didnât think that Grandmaster would suddenly accept a disciple, and the one he accepted was even a good-for-nothing from the Helian family!
Finished. This time itâs the end!
Recollecting the things they had said previously, each instructorâs back was covered with a layer of cold sweat.
They had even naively thought that Grandmaster didnât look at Wei Wei favorably, and simply didnât think more deeply about it.
Now looking at it again, all of them had misunderstood to the extent that in front of Grandmasterâs face, they even spoke badly of his disciple in every way possible.
Helian Jiao Er and Helian Meiâs face color was the most unsightly, to the extent Helian Meiâs hands were trembling. Previously, she even jeered in that good-for-nothingâs face and said that for sure, she wouldnât know Grandmaster. But now.....no, this totally wasnât real!
Not to mention those outsiders who dared not believe, even the one familiar with Grandmaster, Tusu Feng, also didnât expect things would develop this way. His eyebrows lightly jumped, âShe really is your disciple? When did you accept her?â
Originally, Grandmaster wanted to speak of it properly, about how his disciple had greatly surprised him a few days ago, but when he saw Wei Weiâs gaze turned towards him and coolly looked over, he instantly changed his words, âJust, just recently accepted her!â
âJust recently accepted her?â Tusu Feng obviously didnât believe it as his eyebrows lifted.
Grandmaster puffed his chest, âWhat? That little lass just happened to be pleasing to my eye, so I accepted her as a disciple. Is that not possible?
âOf course itâs possible.â Tusu Fengâs gentle and refined eyes seemed like they could see through everything, but just didnât expose it. That Helian familyâs lass unexpectedly was capable of keeping this old fogey under control. This was indeed interesting.....
