Chapter 140 The daughter of the Director of Studies at the Imperial Academy was swindled out of her
Attending the morning court session is important, but it's so frustrating not to get to see this juicy gossip.
At this moment, the Director of Studies of the Imperial Academy wished he could rush out and interrupt Shen Zhiyi's train of thought.
However, he shamefully became curious.
—Who should I hit?
The Director of Studies at the Imperial Academy had a daughter.
Director of the Imperial Academy: Yes.
This daughter is very well-behaved and sensible, and the Director of Studies at the Imperial Academy is very fond of her.
Director of the Imperial Academy: Yes, yes, so he would never hit his own daughter.
The daughter of the Director of Studies at the Imperial Academy is rather naive; she's been swindled out of her money and even her virtue by a student—a huge loss for her.
Countless thoughts flashed through the mind of the Director of the Imperial Academy, and he suspected every single man who had recently been around his daughter.
They don't seem like they're short of money for his daughter.
However, after Shen Zhiyi said that, his daughter had indeed been spending money extravagantly lately.
Who is this brat?!
The Director of Studies at the Imperial Academy didn't care about being laughed at by his colleagues; all he wanted to know was which brat it was!
[The one who swindled money and slept with the daughter of the Director of Studies at the Imperial Academy was my neighbor's son—no, wait, my former neighbor.]
The son of my former neighbor was actually quite talented in his studies, which is why he was able to get into the Imperial Academy. But unfortunately, he was spoiled by his family and had a terrible temper. When I first came here, he even stole an apple from me.
Officials present: ...
You've held a grudge over an apple for so long?!
[However, that woman was a kind person, wholeheartedly wanting her son to pass the imperial examinations, but unfortunately, her abilities were limited, and the daily allowance she gave him was not enough to support his daily expenses, so she set her sights on the daughter of the Director of Studies at the Imperial Academy.]
Unmarried young girls are the easiest to fool. They readily believe any empty promises of eternal love after just a few words, and even give the other party a lot of money every day so they can go out and fool around.
The Director of the Imperial Academy couldn't stand it any longer and punched the air so hard it made a sound, showing how powerful it was.
He skipped breakfast and rushed to the Imperial College to find the son of Shen Zhiyi's former neighbor.
Since it concerned his daughter's innocence, the Director of the Imperial Academy found another excuse to expel him.
When the older sister, who had just moved, heard the news, she looked at her son's face, wanted to hit him but couldn't bring herself to do it.
The son glared angrily at his mother.
“Mother, that Director of Studies at the Imperial Academy is simply going too far.”
"You stole other people's things and got kicked out, but instead of reflecting on your own actions, you accuse others of bullying you."
The eldest sister didn't understand: "Mother thinks she has never lacked you for food or clothing. Even if she goes hungry herself, she will save money for you, afraid that you will be laughed at by your classmates if you don't dress well or eat well. Why would you steal someone else's jade pendant?"
"You stole the grandson of the chief priest; aren't you digging your own grave?"
"Mother, I don't care about my son, only you can help me. If I leave the Imperial Academy, how will I pass the imperial examinations?"
This hit the eldest sister's sore spot, and she closed her eyes and said, "Mother, think of something."
*
So, you've come up with this idea through me?
Shen Zhiyi watched expressionlessly as the person who brought a chicken when they moved in the morning came back with two more chickens in the evening, and there was also twenty taels of silver in the bag containing the chickens.
"I can't accept this. Please go back."
"We need to collect them, we need to collect them."
Suddenly, the eldest sister raised her voice and called out to Shen Zhiyi from behind, "Shen Lang's mother, I've come to deliver the chickens."
When Shen Zhiyi's adoptive parents saw someone calling them, they quickly retreated back into the house.
Feeling a bit embarrassed for shrinking back too quickly, she asked Aunt Cheng to bring five more chickens for her older sister.
The older sister knew this meant she was refusing.
She looked somewhat dejected.
"No, I'm sorry to bother you."
Shen Zhiyi sighed softly and said, "Big sister, I'm willing to tell you what I'm about to say because you're a good person."
"Hurry up and have a second child, and raise a new one. This one is completely useless; he's stolen countless times, don't you know that?"
"You might think your son has changed, but he hasn't. In fact, he's getting worse. When he was a child, he stole from home, and now he steals from outside. This time he only stole from the grandson of the Grand Master of Ceremonies. But if he steals from some royal relative next time, your son won't just be expelled from the Imperial Academy."
"Petty theft is only one aspect of your son's character that's difficult to judge."
"On the other hand, I'm only telling you this, and I'm sure you wouldn't dare say it out loud, but you cheated other people's girls out of money and sex. It's already merciful that the girl's father didn't break your son's legs."
Oh dear, you spoke too soon. Now your leg is broken.
"Cough cough cough, don't waste your time here, hurry up and take these chickens to get a doctor."
After saying that, Shen Zhiyi closed the door.
The eldest sister didn't understand why Shen Zhiyi wanted her to call a doctor, but when she returned to her new home and saw her son screaming in pain, she understood everything.
It seems that her son's career path has come to an abrupt end.
I've raised it for over twenty years.
She finally couldn't hold back and slapped her son.
"How can you face your father and me, who work tirelessly from dawn till dusk to support your education?"
The next day was Shen Zhiyi's day off. Only Zhang Sheren had to bear the old emperor's stern face, while she planned to spend some quality time with her adoptive parents and brother.
Who would have thought that the three of them would have to leave in a hurry at noon?
Shen Zhiyi stood outside the city gate of Dajing, crying miserably.
"Do you really want to leave?"
“We don’t want to leave either, please stop crying, but we really have to leave.”
None of the four of them were in a very good mood.
Shen Zhiyi saw the last few people off onto the ship, and watched as the sails rose and the large ship sailed out of Shen Zhiyi's sight.
At this moment, the elder brother on the boat said sullenly, "Why do we have to leave?"
The mother slapped her son across the face without any expression.
"You have your exam coming up soon. If you don't get first place this time, I'll teach you a lesson."
The older brother clutched his head and muttered, "I have an exam coming up, but none of you are taking one either. Why are you leaving?"
"Professor Ren said that the system is unstable and this world cannot withstand so many outsiders like us for a long time."
The father sighed helplessly.
These past few months have been the limit.
On the other side, Shen Zhiyi, who had just seen her family off, hadn't even had time to grieve before she was taken away by the city gatekeeper.
"What are you doing?"
"Please don't be offended, Mr. Shen. Someone is looking for you."
"Find me?"
The city gatekeeper moved aside, revealing the person behind him.
Oh, it's actually the Minister of Rites!
What brings you here?
The Minister of Rites looks very haggard.
The Minister of Rites was on the verge of tears.
How could I not look haggard?
"Hmm, Shen Lang, I heard that you helped the Duke of Shun and the Minister of War find their son and daughter?"
Shen Zhiyi nodded.
[They were found, and now those three are playing with sandwich cookies every now and then.]
"What? Did you lose your daughter or your son?"
