Chapter 423: Gambling? Expelled from the Academy
"You evil creature, she's just a maid! How dare you beat your brother like this!"
"Crack!" Yao Qingnian broke the stick he had just used to beat people and threw it in front of them. "I'll say it again, I don't have such a brother! Linglong is my sister, not a maid. And, even if she is my maid, if he dares to touch them in the future, I will break his legs!"
"You dare!" Shen Wenting stepped forward and wanted to slap her twice. No matter what, he was still her father and it was only natural for him to teach her a lesson. If she dared to hit him again, he would kick her out.
Yao Qingnian directly grabbed his falling hand and shook it hard, causing Shen Wenting to stagger back.
"Then you can try it. I tell you, today I am just giving you a reminder. Since you have entered the mansion, you should stay here honestly. If you behave yourself and don't interfere with others, I can pretend that you don't exist. But if you dare to do the same thing as you did today to my people again, don't blame me for being rude!" Yao Qingnian turned and left.
"Stop right there!" Shen Wenting was so angry that his face turned red and veins popped out on his forehead. But Yao Qingnian didn't seem to hear him and walked away without looking back.
"How can this be! This evil creature!"
Just when Shen Wenting had nowhere to vent his anger, a servant suddenly ran in: "Master, the headmaster of the academy is here."
"What mountain chief? I'm not seeing you!"
"Master, it's Principal Su from Qingfeng Academy." the servant reminded.
Principal Su? Shen Wenting reacted immediately and asked his servants to invite him to the front hall. In order to allow Shen Haobo to enter Qingfeng Academy, he spent a lot of effort to send him in.
"Runiang, take care of Haobo first and let the doctor take a good look. I'll be back soon." Shen Wenting gave a few instructions and hurried to the front hall.
"Miss, the principal of Qingfeng Academy is here." Shan Wei received the news as Yao Qingnian just returned to the yard.
"Go, make some arrangements, the fun will begin soon." Anyone who dared to touch her thought that they could just get beaten up? It was not that easy.
When he arrived at the front hall, he saw Su Qixian, the headmaster, sitting there with an unpleasant look on his face. The headmaster was about fifty years old, with a gaunt face. He looked elegant and gentle, but in fact he was a smooth and worldly person. When he saw him coming, although he was not happy, he still stood up to greet him and bowed: "Lord Shen, long time no see."
"Master Su, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please take a seat, no need to be so polite." Shen Wenting politely invited everyone to sit down and asked the servants to make some top-quality tea for him. This tea was brought to him by Chen Shuhua at the beginning. There was not much left, and he was reluctant to drink it on weekdays. Now there was nothing good in the mansion to entertain guests. This was the only thing he could offer. After all, Shen Haobo would have to rely on the master's care when he stayed in the academy.
Dean Su was not polite and sat down. Qingfeng Academy was a famous academy in the capital. Many people tried to curry favor with him in order to get into the academy. Although he was just a dean, ordinary people did not dare to offend him easily. At the beginning, Shen Wenting spent a lot of effort to get his illegitimate son into the academy, and asked him to take care of him and keep it secret. If he hadn't received so much money from him, Dean Su would not have bothered to make this trip.
After smelling the tea, Principal Su felt a little better. He praised, "This is the best Shuangjing tea. It has a delicate fragrance and a mellow taste. It's great tea!"
"Since Dean Su likes it, take it back later! Someone, pack up the tea leaves and let Dean Su take it back to drink later." Shen Wenting gave the order with a smile on his face, but he felt pain in his heart. In the past, there were so many good things like this, and he would not care at all. But since the divorce, good things have become less and less, and he has to use them sparingly.
"I'm so embarrassed. Lord Shen is too polite." Principal Su forced a smile. The smile seemed friendly, but it made people feel elusive.
"It's just some tea leaves, not something valuable. Dean Su, don't take it to heart. I wonder what brings you here today?" Shen Wenting asked. No one comes to visit you without a reason. Dean Su has always been snobbish and aloof, and doesn't make friends with others easily. He came here for no reason, so there must be something going on.
When Shanzhang Su heard him ask this, his brows slightly frowned and his face instantly darkened. However, when he thought about the good tea he had just taken, he softened a little and said, "I came here today because of Mr. Shen's matter."
"My son has been taken care of by the dean in the academy. Mr. Shen is very grateful. Did he get into any trouble in the academy?" Haobo was just brought back home yesterday. When I asked him, he said that he was studying hard in the academy. He shouldn't have gotten into any trouble, right?
"Lord Shen doesn't know?" Principal Su looked at him puzzled.
"There have been a lot of things going on in your mansion recently, and I have no time to take care of it. Please give me your instructions, Master." Shen Wenting asked respectfully, with a bad feeling in his heart.
"To be honest, Mr. Shen has been expelled from the academy for quite some time." The dean took a sip of tea and spoke lightly.
"What!" Shen Wenting jumped up excitedly. Realizing that he had lost his composure, he quickly calmed himself down and asked, "What's the reason?" He had put so much thought into this, but why was he expelled from the academy?
Dean Su put down his teacup and said angrily, "Sir Shen, your son has violated the rules of the academy many times. Not only does he often skip classes, but he also neglects his studies. Moreover, he has quarreled with his classmates and even fought with them, which has a very bad influence. He has also developed a bad habit of gambling and owes a lot of gambling debts. The debt collectors from the gambling house have come to the gate of the academy. They come every day, making the students in the academy restless. I have no choice but to come to your door."
Shen Wenting's face turned livid, and veins popped up on his forehead. He never thought that Shen Haobo would be so useless and dare to go to the gambling house to gamble! He immediately bowed and said, "Shanzhang, my son is naughty and it's my fault for not disciplining him. But I hope you can show some leniency and give him another chance."
Dean Su shook his head slightly and said, "Sir Shen, it's not that I don't want to give your son a chance. It's just that the situation is serious this time. If we don't punish him, the rules of the academy will be gone."
Shen Wenting was silent for a moment, then said again: "Shanzhang, I will discipline him strictly and ensure that similar things will not happen again. I also ask Shanzhang to consider his youth and ignorance and let him return to the academy."
Principal Su said with a resolute look: "Sir Shen, your son's various bad deeds have made the academy intolerable. Gambling is even more corrupting! I came here today to ask Sir Shen to deal with it, return the money to the gambling house, and stop them from making trouble at the gate of the academy again.
The academy is a peaceful place, and we cannot let him ruin the reputation of the academy."
Now, at the entrance of the academy, there are people yelling at Shen Haobo to come out and pay back the money...
