Chapter 153: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (52)
“The emperor has arrived!”
The crowd looked around and saw that the emperor had arrived at the Yulin Academy.
Although Master Chen did not know whether the emperor’s purpose in coming to the academy was related to Shu Nuan, but he still saluted and paid homage to the emperor walking over with his people.
Sheng Nan’s heavy face did not show any expression. He opened his mouth to let Master Chen Lao and others get up, before looking at Sheng Qianmo. His eyes were quite solemn.
“Fourth Brother, with everybody watching, you dare to ignore the government’s rules.”
“There are some people who didn’t take me seriously.” Sheng Qianmo stared at him deeply and then said, “Shu Nuan’s intellect is trustworthy. She wouldn’t cheat.”
As soon as his words fell, some of the students who were watching voiced out.
“I had been in the same class with Shun Nuan for a month, and everyone in Class Ten can testify. She is so good there, so how can she cheat!”
“The last time she got admitted from Class Ten to Class One. Her intellect is clear! It is also clear that someone intentionally trapped Shu Nuan!”
It was Su Hai and Qi Yue who had spoken up for Shu Nuan. Following their lead, many students who had known Shun Nuan joined.
And the most trustworthy of them, Wen Zhigu, took initiative.
She stood up and calmly said to Master Chen.
“I think a lot of people witnessed me and Shu Nuan doing Master Ji’s penalty run not long ago. That day I was lazy, so I borrowed Shu Nuan’s work to copy and was found out by the teacher. What I want to say is that I don’t know Shu Nuan for long, and I don’t have to take the risk to speak for her. The fact is the fact. Shu Nuan’s ability is indeed above mine. If she needs to cheat, the rest of Class One’s students can’t even do the examination.”
As soon as her voice fell, Qi Yue was the first to scream with excitement, “Wen Zhigu said so well!”
“Presumptuous! You three, are you trying to be rebellious in front of the emperor!”
Master Chen had probably never thought that the students would speak up for Shu Nuan like this. For a while, he didn’t know what to do. After all, it had been a must to slander Shu Nuan. But now even Sheng Qianmo was taking a tough attitude toward the situation.
The emperor stared at Sheng Qianmo for a moment, then turned to look at Master Chen.
“Okay, give the person to Prince Qianmo for trial.”
Master Chen was stunned for a while, apparently having not expected that the emperor would compromise first.
“Fourth Brother, I’ll leave the girl to you for questioning, but you can’t engage in malpractice for personal gain. You must still find out the matter and give an explanation to the students of the academy.”
Sheng Qianmo quietly said, “What if the Yulin Academy wronged her?”
Sheng Qianmo had never been one to let others aggrieve his people and get off scot-free.
Moreover, the person harmed this time was his little girl.
The emperor turned to Chen Lao and asked, “Who scored the exams this time?”
Chen Lao had an ominous premonition but still answered truthfully.
“It was Master Ji.”
Sheng Nan nodded and said, “If he is found wrong in the matter, his punishment will be decided by Prince Qianmo.”
The emperor had said so, and even if Master Chen had any more opinions in his heart, he could only swallow them and order the key to the confinement area to be given to Sheng Qianmo.
When Sheng Qianmo was about to enter the locked area, the emperor stopped him again.
“Fourth brother, I didn’t come here today just for this matter. When you have dealt with this, come to the palace. I have something important to discuss with you.”
