Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 2145: Affair

As if he sensed the mocking gazes around him, Master Qin apologized and left in a hurry, almost fleeing.

Watching his running back, Wan Shufang didn't want to pursue the matter any further, and quietly returned to her yard to prepare medicine with peace of mind. What she didn't know was that even though she let the old man go, he wouldn't let her go.

They spread rumors and spoke ill of her to everyone they met, thinking that she was not worthy of being in the academy.

"As a woman, instead of staying at home to take care of your husband and children, you come out to show yourself in public. I think you have read all the teachings on women's virtues and female precepts into a dog's stomach." Master Qin's face was full of disdain, and these words were also heard by Liu Mochen.

He rolled his eyes, thinking of Wan Shufang's unusual attitude towards Shangguan Chu, and pushed through the crowd to Master Qin to complain.

"Master Qin, you don't know that this woman has been very partial to Shangguan Chu recently and has been protecting him in everything. I always feel that these two have an affair that they cannot reveal to others!"

Hearing Liu Mochen's words, Master Qin's eyes flickered, and he quickly grabbed his hand: "Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true. I am the victim." Liu Mochen recalled the past and exaggerated the story of how Shangguan Chu knocked him into the pond and Wan Shufang protected him.

Among them, he also concealed his insults to Shangguan Chu.

The complaint was full of loopholes, but Master Qin wanted to get back on his feet so badly that he didn't even bother to investigate the truth. He just made a decision and angrily said, "Humph, a woman like this should be thrown into a pig cage. How dare she stay in the academy?"

"Boy, do you have any evidence for this?"

"Master, I haven't yet, but since the two of you have a secret relationship, it will definitely not be hidden. We just need to do this..." Liu Mochen approached Master Qin mysteriously and whispered a few words in his ear.

Instantly, Master Qin looked delighted and patted Liu Mochen on the shoulder: "Okay, it's indeed a good plan."

The two looked at each other, avoided the crowd, and after some discussion, they made a plan. They planned to keep a close eye on Shangguan Chu and expose the affair between Wan Shufang and Shangguan Chu.

Liu Mochen was alert for the whole day, determined to catch the two men, but he didn't expect that Shangguan Chu had asked for three days off from the academy to collect herbs.

This made Liu Mochen very angry, and he kicked the stone at his feet hard: "Damn it, Shangguan Chu actually asked for leave, bah, this coward, coward."

The stone fell into the pond, creating a huge splash. Liu Mochen cursed and cursed, but he still felt unsatisfied, so he continued to rage: "He wasted so many of my days. When he comes, I'll show you how I'll deal with him."

"Who are you going to deal with?"

A cold and serious female voice came from behind. Liu Mochen was slightly stunned and turned around subconsciously. The moment he saw Wan Shufang, he immediately felt guilty: "Master Wan, I, I didn't."

Liu Mochen explained stutteringly and saluted Wan Shufang, but he didn't know that Wan Shufang had been standing behind him for a long time. Wan Shufang saw clearly how he insulted Shangguan Chu and how he kicked the stones.

Looking at Liu Mochen who was bowing his head in front of her, Wan Shufang's eyes were sharp: "Liu Mochen, when did the academy teach you to lie?"

"Shangguan Chu and you were classmates. Even if we didn't have deep feelings for each other, you wouldn't bully or frame him. Do you still have any gentlemanly demeanor when you do this?"

Wan Shufang's harsh reprimand made Liu Mochen blush instantly. His heart was in turmoil and he stammered but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Liu Mochen, you insulted your fellow disciples behind their backs and treated them unfairly. Do you admit your mistake?"

"Yes, I admit my mistake." Liu Mochen admitted his mistake obediently and just wanted to slip away quickly. He felt even more disgusted with Wan Shufang.

Wan Shufang didn't know what he was thinking. She just admonished him as if he were a child. She said calmly and slowly, "Since you know you are wrong, you must accept the punishment. I will punish you by copying the Buddhist scriptures 100 times."

"Yes, the student accepts the punishment."

Seeing that he was well-behaved, Wan Shufang waved her hand.

"Let's go back."

After saying that, she turned and left. After she left, Liu Mochen raised his head, his eyes filled with hatred. He hated Shangguan Chu, and he hated Wan Shufang who protected Shangguan Chu even more.

"Hmph, a shameless woman who dares to punish me by making me copy Buddhist scriptures." Liu Mochen gritted his teeth and made a threatening gesture in the direction where Wan Shufang left.

But soon, he withdrew his hand, worried about being seen again, and left in a hurry.

Even though he was reluctant to punish Wan Shufang, Liu Mochen had no choice but to copy Buddhist scriptures and temporarily gave up the idea of dealing with Shangguan Chu.

at dusk.

Wan Shufang had been busy all day and finally had some free time. She left the academy and went to the old house to take the pulse and give medicine to the old county magistrate. As soon as she arrived at the old house, she saw Chen Changli standing in the county magistrate's room.

"Chen Changli." Wan Shufang called softly. Chen Changli didn't look up, but he immediately recognized who it was. He put down the medicine bowl and walked to her side.

"Are you done with the academy?"

"He's fine for now. I'll come over to see him." Wan Shufang walked to the county magistrate and took his pulse.

Previously, she had asked Shangguan Chu to go out to collect herbs, and then she asked Chen Changli to come and look after her for a few days.

"Fortunately, the situation is very stable." Wan Shufang said lightly and continued to feed him medicine. After finishing a bowl of medicine, the county magistrate yawned, turned over in his quilt and fell asleep.

Chen Changli and Wan Shufang also walked out of the room and gently closed the door. Looking at the sunset outside the courtyard, Chen Changli held Wan Shufang's hand and asked, "Are you going back to the academy tonight?"

"There's nothing to do in the academy for now, so it's okay to stay. What's the matter, Lord Duke, do you miss me?"

Wan Shufang said, looking at him teasingly, but the man nodded and admitted openly: "I miss you, Madam. I heard there will be a lantern festival in the evening. Do you want to go and see it?"

"I've been tired for so many days, it's time to take a rest."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang pondered for a moment, and seeing his pleading eyes, she nodded helplessly: "Okay, let's go and have some fun."

"Let's go."

The two held hands and walked out of the old house together. The lantern festival was very lively. The colorful lights shone on people's faces, reflecting their happy smiles.

Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were just like a couple in love, releasing lanterns and making wishes by the river. When the atmosphere was romantic and ambiguous, they suddenly heard an inappropriate discussion.

"That Wan Shufang is really shameless. She has an affair with her student."

As soon as these words came out, Wan Shufang turned around immediately and saw Master Qin, who was filled with righteous indignation, gossiping with another master. This time, in addition to saying that she was a woman with no talent or moral integrity, he even falsely accused her of having an affair with a student...

Wan Shufang's eyes turned red with anger, and just as she was about to go over, she was pulled back by Chen Changli.

"Shufang, don't worry, I'll do it."

These six short words brought a great sense of security. She stopped and looked at Chen Changli curiously. She saw Chen Changli picking up a few pebbles while Master Qin was about to speak.

A stone was shot accurately and hit his calf, and several others followed.

"what!"

"what!"

Two screams reached my eardrums, followed by two splashes of air falling into the river.
