Yu Song gritted his teeth and said softly, “Look at my sister again! I’ll dig your eyeballs out!”

Student Liu shivered.

Yu Wan walked up to Student Liu. “Sir, you said that my brother stole your banknotes. Did you see him steal it with your own eyes? Or did you just find it under his bed? If that’s the case, someone else might have stolen it and hidden it under my brother’s bed, isn’t it?”

A gentle breeze blew over, blowing the clear fragrance on Yu Wan’s body. Student Liu’s heart skipped a beat.

Yu Song kicked him!

“Teacher, look! He beat me up again!” Student Liu complained.

The two teachers saw his rudeness and did not stand up for him.

Student Liu knew that he was in the wrong. He rubbed his nose resentfully and said, “Although I didn’t see him steal with my own eyes, someone saw him enter my room. The banknotes were still there before I left. When I returned, the banknotes were gone.”

“Who saw him enter your room?” Yu Wan asked.

“Zhao Heng,” Student Liu said.

Yu Wan looked at Yu Song, who nodded. He had indeed been to Student Liu and Zhao Heng’s dormitory, but he had not gone to steal anything. He had gone the wrong way. When he saw Zhao Heng, he understood that it was not his room and hurriedly left.

Yu Wan asked Student Liu, “Why don’t you suspect Zhao Heng? He’s also in the room, and he’s always been there. The time for him to commit the crime is more mature. My brother came out as soon as he entered. He’s not familiar with you. I wonder where you hid the banknotes. How could he steal them in such a short time?”

Student Liu was stumped. After a while, he stammered, “…Zhao… Zhao Heng won’t steal…”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yu Wan questioned, “If Zhao Heng won’t steal, my brother will? Don’t tell me you don’t like my brother and deliberately framed him?”

“I didn’t!” Student Liu was furious.

“Brother Liu! Brother Liu!” Another student who lived with Zhao Heng and Student Liu ran over while panting. “We found him. It’s Ding Gui’er! He… he admitted it himself!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Wan saw Shadow Thirteen carrying a trembling young man over.

Ding Gui’er was also a student. In the past, he had a small problem of stealing, but no one had ever caught on to it. This time, he had his eyes on Student Liu. When Student Liu and his companions were not around, he slipped into the dormitory of Student Liu. After he stole from Student Liu, Student Liu realized that the banknotes were missing. In a panic, he barged into Yu Song’s dormitory and casually stuffed the banknotes under the new student’s bed.

Ding Gui’er was a habitual criminal. He was agile and had powerful anti-reconnaissance abilities. However, in front of Shadow Thirteen, such tricks were not enough.

Shadow Thirteen was an assassin. He could scare Ding Gui’er to death. Ding Gui’er did not dare to hide anything and confessed his crimes.

Yu Song’s crime of theft was cleared. It was Student Liu who wronged Yu Song. It was also Student Liu who started the fight. Although Yu Song was a little heavy-handed, didn’t Student Liu ask for it?

The Directorate expelled Ding Gui’er and punished Student Liu and Yu Song to copy books. The storm was over.

Yu Wan thanked the teacher and apologized.

Although Yu Song and Student Liu’s fight was started by Student Liu, Yu Song was indeed too ruthless. If the teacher hadn’t arrived in time, Student Liu would have been crippled. Moreover, the tables and chairs in the room were all broken.

Yu Song didn’t feel good. He didn’t think he had done anything wrong. If he did it again, he would still beat that Liu guy to death, but his sister’s “groveling” in front of others made him feel uncomfortable. He clenched his fists.

After Yu Wan sent the teacher away, she gave Yu Song a bottle of ointment.

Yu Song lowered his head in embarrassment and did not reach out to take it. He might not be cut out for studying. He did not have the upbringing of a scholar. He wanted to use his fists when he encountered something.

Yu Wan smiled and looked at the scenery in the depths of the bamboo forest. “It’s difficult to adapt to your new identity, right? I’m also learning how to be a good young madam. I’m often punished by the nanny.”

Yu Song was in disbelief. His sister was the smartest person he had ever seen. Could she be punished too?

Yu Wan stuffed the ointment into his hand. “I’m going back to do my homework. Nanny will test me tomorrow.”

He had clearly caused her so much trouble, but she did not even reprimand him. Yu Song’s eyes moved. “Ah Wan…”

“Huh?” Yu Wan turned around.

Yu Song pinched the medicine bottle and took a deep breath. “…I won’t cause trouble again.”

Yu Wan smiled and nodded. “It’s fine even if you cause trouble.”

… .

Yu Wan walked out of the Directorate and brushed past a man in an official’s uniform before getting into the carriage. Beside the man stood a young man in blue.

Yu Wan had already walked far away, but the two of them were still looking in Yu Wan’s direction with furrowed brows.

“Great Uncle, don’t you think that madam looks familiar?” Qi Lin asked strangely.

Gao Yuan nodded thoughtfully. “…I think I’ve seen her somewhere before.”

“Ah! I remember!” Qi Lin patted his head. “She’s the village girl who saved the horse at the courier station before the New Year!”

Gao Yuan frowned. He was only focused on recalling his past that day and did not notice who saved the horse that died at the courier station in his previous life.

“Eh? Isn’t that the Young Master Manor’s carriage?” Qi Lin’s gaze followed Yu Wan until she got into Yan Jiuchao’s carriage. “By the way, Yan Jiuchao is married. The new madam is his son’s biological mother. Could it be her…”

That’s most likely it, Gao Yuan thought.

In his memory, Yan Jiuchao did not get married. He lived alone until he was twenty-five, he did not find his sons nor did he marry.

Qi Lin suddenly said, “Great Uncle, do you still remember the disappearance of Yan Jiuchao’s children before the New Year?”

“What’s wrong?” Gao Yuan asked.

“She was the one who saved the children,” Qi Lin said.

Gao Yuan asked, “Who did you hear that from?”

Qi Lin said, “I asked around! Yan Jiuchao’s son’s savior is from Lotus Flower Village. Yan Jiuchao’s wife is from Lotus Flower Village. How can there be two people?”

Lotus Flower Village was not big. Of course, there were not two people.

The horse at the courier station was alive, the missing little masters had been found, and Yan Jiuchao had gotten married. All the changes were related to this woman. Gao Yuan thought of something and his eyes flashed. “Is her surname Yu?”

Qi Lin nodded. “Yes, her father is Yu Shaoqing, the centurion who snatched Yan Congming’s military achievements!”

Qi Lin had asked around about everything related to Yan Jiuchao, including his wife.

It was another person related to her. Gao Yuan fell into deep thought.
