Chapter 1374: The Instigated One (4)
Zhao Fuzi staggered back several steps, finally coming to a halt against the desk, "You, you dare?"
Yu Qingge glanced at Yang Ruxin, then stepped forward and delivered a slap, "See if I dare or not? A crooked beam leads to twisted rafters, with someone like you, who is utterly misleading the youth, who else should I be hitting if not you?"
The corner of Yang Ruxin’s mouth twitched, and seeing the girl about to raise her hand again, he quickly grabbed her, "Take a break."
Zhao Fuzi was stunned by the slap, and he hadn’t expected the girl to actually dare to strike him, immediately turning his angry gaze toward Dong Wenming, "Master Dong, I have scholarly honors; you must give me an explanation, or else..."
"Or else what?" Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrows, "Report to the authorities? Sure, the Great Xuan Dynasty has always advocated for people who possess both virtue and talent. With character like yours, aren’t you smearing the imperial court’s reputation? I think your title of Juren should be stripped away..."
Zhao Fuzi dared not speak anymore, if this girl really had connections to the Crown Prince, then he... was instantly filled with regret, but also began to harbor hatred towards Yang Ruxin.
"Xinxin..." Dong Wenming sounded helpless.
"What now? Zhao Fuzi is a person, and mine aren’t?" Yang Ruxin’s gaze was icy, "If Xiaonuo really did steal the silver, you could have reported it to the officials. But to take private action? Who gave you such boldness? Moreover, yesterday Doctor Li was outright blockaded at home by some people, if I hadn’t gone over, that child might have been done for..."
Dong Wenming sighed, he had heard about it from Moshu too. Could it really be that there are such malicious people at such a young age?
"We can’t let this matter slide." Dong Xun also spoke up, "Our Dong Family pays to support the family clan school with the hope of educating people. Why study? To understand principles. If one lacks even the most basic human conscience, what is the point in reading?" The elder burst out with profanity, "If all we teach are such ruthless and ungrateful brutes, I might as well have thrown my silver to the dogs."
