Chapter 157: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (56)
Teacher Li once again spoke to Sheng Qianmo and Master Chen.
“If Shu Nuan’s result for this test is equal to what she scored upon allegedly cheating, that of second place, I will personally post a notice to tell all students that Master Ji’s dereliction of duty wronged Shu Nuan. But, if she fails to score high in this exam, you will not be able to clear her name, Fourth Prince.”
Hearing this, Master Chen hurried over and glanced at the examination paper crafted by Teacher Li. After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief. He could tell that these questions were not simple. Some of them were even more difficult than those in the leaked paper. If Shu Nuan had really done the last one on her own, she’d still find it difficult to score the same.
On the other hand, Sheng Qianmo believed in the capabilities of his little girl and agreed on her behalf.
“For the sake of fairness in the examination, Master Chen, please take His Highness to your room and wait.”
Thus, Sheng Qianmo and Master Chen left, and Shu Nuan sat down to take the exam.
Teacher Li gave her a slight glance and said, “Make a good attempt and don’t disappoint the Fourth Prince’s expectations of you.”
Shu Nuan looked up at Teacher Li with firm and bright eyes.
“I will.”
……
After two hours, the results came out.
Shu Nuan’s test paper was posted on the results list and won the first place in that month’s examination by a margin of seven points.
The announcement clearly stated that Teacher Li had written this examination paper on the spot. Shu Nuan had taken the test while Teacher Li had invigilated.
Everyone knew Teacher Li’s character. He recognized achievements and not people, and thus he didn’t have a reason to help Shu Nuan.
Moreover, those who looked closer could see that this examination paper was much harder than the original one. Shu Nuan still scored well, even jumping to the first place. Therefore, Shu Nuan’s results convinced everyone.
Thus, Ji Xubai was called by Master Chen to his library.
Sheng Qianmo, Shu Nuan and Teacher Li were all present.
Ji Xubai was flexible and diplomatic. He said a lot of beautiful things and apologized theatrically. But Shu Nuan looked at him without saying a word and didn’t respond.
Master Chen asked Sheng Qianmo, “Prince Qianmo, you see, now the academy has cleared Shu Nuan’s name. Master Ji has also apologized…”
Sheng Qianmo gently opened his thin lips, and his tone was icy.
“Master Chen should understand one thing. If This Prince had not stood up, if Shu Nuan didn’t get this high a score, there wouldn’t have been an apology from Master Ji. Such an apology has no meaning.”
Master Chen understood that Sheng Qianmo did not intend to spare Master Ji. He frowned at once.
However, Ji Xubai could naturally also understand what Sheng Qianmo meant. He chirped, “So, what does Fourth Prince want?”
Ji Xubai did not mention his family or his sister at this point. Instead, he spoke as a teacher.
Sheng Qianmo turned to the girl beside him and asked, “How do you want to punish this person?”
Shu Nuan looked up at Sheng Qianmo. Her gaze drifted with some uncertainty, as if unsure that she had the qualification to decide such a thing.
But Sheng Qianmo’s eyes told her that she did.
Shu Nuan lowered her head, took a deep breath, and said, “Master Ji has not done his duty as a teacher. He is not worthy of being a teacher at the Yulin Academy.”
What she was asking for was clear.
Master Chen jumped up from his seat. “Shu Nuan, what do you mean?” he asked.
