Chapter 581 Gu Junze's daughter is very good and suitable.
The group of children turned around and saw Gu Qingchen. One of the older boys sneered, "So it's the little devil from the Gu family. What, you want to stand up for this bastard?"
"A little witch?" Gu Qingchen raised an eyebrow. "Who are you calling a little witch?"
"I'm talking about you!" the boy said disdainfully. "Who in the entire private school doesn't know your name, Gu Qingchen?"
"Relying on being the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, she's arrogant and disrespectful, even daring to talk back to the teacher. Now she wants to play the hero and save the damsel in distress?"
Gu Qingchen's face turned red with anger: "What nonsense are you talking about! When have I ever bullied anyone?"
"No?" another child chimed in. "Then you just made Teacher Li so angry that he stormed off. Doesn't that count as bullying someone by abusing your power?"
"That's right, if your father weren't the Duke of Zhenguo, you would have been kicked out of the private school long ago!"
"Trying to play the good guy now? What a joke!"
These words struck a nerve with Gu Qingchen. She had just reconciled with Master Li, and these people were already bringing it up.
"Shut up!" Gu Qingchen roared, rolled up his sleeves, and charged forward.
She first punched the boy who had said the most offensive thing in the face, and then kicked another one.
"You're talking nonsense! You're bullying me!"
Gu Qingchen grew angrier the more he hit her, completely forgetting his obedient demeanor in front of Teacher Li just moments before.
She had learned martial arts from Song Ruyan at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, so she was more than capable of dealing with these pampered young masters.
The children were screaming and crying as they were beaten; some covered their noses, others clutched their stomachs, looking utterly pathetic.
"Gu Qingchen! You're insane!"
"Run! That crazy girl has gone mad again!"
In the blink of an eye, the group of children scattered like birds and beasts, leaving Gu Qingchen standing there, his chest heaving with anger.
Qian Zhenyun watched in stunned silence. He was about to step forward to dissuade them, but it was too late.
At this moment, the boy who was being attacked slowly raised his head, and his gaze toward Gu Qingchen finally showed a different kind of brilliance.
He had a handsome face with exquisite features, but his eyes seemed to hold too much serenity, unlike what one would expect at his age.
"You—" Gu Qingchen turned to look at him, "Why didn't you run? Why didn't you resist? Are you really an idiot?
The boy looked at her, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Thank you."
The voice was very soft and faint, yet it reached Gu Qingchen's ears clearly.
"You can talk!" Gu Qingchen's eyes lit up. "Then why didn't you argue with them just now? What they said was so awful!"
The boy lowered his eyes: "What's the use of arguing? Facts are facts."
"What facts?" Gu Qingchen frowned. "They say you're a bastard, so you really are a bastard?"
The boy stiffened, looked up at her, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
Just then, a familiar cough came from behind.
"Cough cough!"
Gu Qingchen's heart skipped a beat. She turned around stiffly and saw Master Li standing not far away, watching this scene with a livid face.
Oh no! She just apologized to the teacher, and then she started a fight. She's really going to be expelled from the private school!
"Master...Master," Gu Qingchen stammered, "I...I can explain."
Looking at the mess on the ground and then at Gu Qingchen's guilty look, Master Li was so angry that his beard trembled.
This girl was just swearing to him that she wouldn't cause any more trouble, and it hasn't been that long?
Not even the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!
He pointed at Gu Qingchen, his hand trembling like a leaf in the autumn wind, "You...you..."
After saying "you," he was speechless for a long time.
He had just realized that this girl was a rough gem, worthy of being polished, but before he could even get his hands on her, he had already chipped a big hole in her.
"Very well, very well indeed!" Master Li laughed angrily. "Have you forgotten all the promises you made to your teacher? Is the upbringing of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion such that you would raise your fist against your classmates in the schoolhouse?"
That's a harsh statement.
Gu Qingchen's face turned pale instantly. This wasn't just an insult directed at her; it also implicated the entire Duke Zhenguo's mansion.
She bit her lip and stubbornly tried to explain, but looking into Master Li's fiery eyes, she couldn't utter a single word.
Qian Zhenyun was sweating profusely with anxiety and quickly stepped forward to bow: "Master, please calm down. My sister didn't mean it. It's just that those people said some really nasty things!"
"Just because something is offensive doesn't mean we should resort to violence!" Master Li rebuked sharply. "The sages said that a gentleman uses words, not fists! What has she learned from the classics!"
Just then, the boy who had been silent suddenly took a step forward.
He stood to the side and in front of Gu Qingchen, and bowed deeply to Master Li.
"Master."
His voice was clear and calm, yet it was like a drop of water falling into boiling oil, momentarily pausing the tense atmosphere.
Master Li looked at him, his brows furrowed: "Who are you?"
The boy raised his head, his overly handsome face still expressionless, but his eyes were calm: "Student Lin Jiayou. What happened just now was not her fault."
He paused, as if organizing his thoughts, and then repeated, word by word, "They said I was a bastard born from my mother's affair, and that I was not worthy of studying here."
Master Li froze on the spot, his anger instantly replaced by an expression of shock and reluctance.
As a teacher, he placed the highest value on moral character.
Fighting is certainly wrong, but using such foul language to attack a classmate's background is utterly disgraceful and a disgrace to one's education!
Lin Jiayou looked into Teacher Li's eyes and continued, "She couldn't stand it anymore, so she resorted to violence. If you want to punish someone, punish the student as well. It was the student who caused her trouble."
After saying this, he bowed deeply again, lowered his head, and said no more.
Gu Qingchen felt as if something had struck his heart.
She looked at Lin Jiayou's thin back. This taciturn man, who wouldn't utter a sound even when surrounded and scolded, was now standing up and taking the blame upon himself.
It's even dumber than a panda!
Master Li's chest heaved violently a few times before he let out a long breath.
When he looked at Gu Qingchen again, his expression was much more complicated.
"You..." He opened his mouth, but in the end only let out a sigh, "Come with me to the study!"
After saying that, he turned and left, taking quick and heavy steps.
Gu Qingchen knew that he had escaped a calamity.
She looked at Lin Jiayou and whispered, "Thanks."
Lin Jiayou didn't turn around, but his shoulder seemed to twitch.
Inside the princess's mansion, the air was filled with the fragrance of incense.
Lin Xingyao leaned against the soft couch by the window, looking relaxed.
"Did your brother send You'er to Bailu Academy?" she asked casually, without even opening her eyes.
The trusted aide standing below replied respectfully, "Yes, Princess. It was just sent over this morning, and everything has been arranged."
"Okay." Lin Xingyao responded, "Let him spend more time with that girl from the Gu family."
The confidante hesitated for a moment: "Princess, that Miss Gu... I've heard she's unruly and extremely arrogant, I'm afraid she'll be difficult to get along with."
“Mischievous?” Lin Xingyao’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Mischievousness is good. A well-behaved young lady who is too obedient to the rules will not be able to protect You’er.”
She opened her eyes, her gaze cold and clear.
Because of her, Lin Jiayou's child has been burdened with too many undeserved criticisms since birth.
As a mother, she naturally wanted to plan a perfect future for her son.
The Duke of Zhenguo holds considerable military power, and Gu Junze enjoys the Emperor's favor. His eldest daughter is a good match.
The confidant said no more and reported, "Princess, the Prince's mansion... our people who were planted next to Zhao Qingzhi said that the young prince stayed in her room last night."
Tears welled up in Lin Xingyao's eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall, swallowing her pain no matter how much it hurt.
She knew that her brother had already consummated his marriage with Zhao Qingzhi.
"Got it. Let her be smug for a few days."
The confidant whispered, "Then we..."
"Hold your position." Lin Xingyao interrupted him. "Does she think that by kicking me out of the palace and gaining a few more nights of my brother's favor, she can rest easy and win his heart?"
dream!
