Chapter 223 The atmosphere is destroyed
Everyone was stunned, wondering why Lu Peixiu was talking about unpleasant things while enjoying her meal.
Yun Xi was also speechless. This guy was really a killjoy.
I decided that next time I have a dinner like this, I won’t invite her to join us.
Song Bingning stopped eating and replied calmly, "Whatever he lost, it was not caused by me. It is none of my business."
Lu Peixiu was furious. "How can you say it's none of your business? If you didn't compete for the first place, it would be his, and he could go to Songhe College for free. His situation is known to everyone, and everyone knows how important this free place is to him, but you made him lose this opportunity. Song Bingning, how can you do it with a clear conscience?"
Everyone frowned when they heard this, and except Yun Xi and Ying Tianchen, everyone else put down their chopsticks.
Mu Qingheng said, "Lü Peixiu, what you said is wrong. Although we all know Zhu Shuyi's difficulties, the poetry competition is a fair competition. Why should you feel guilty for winning the championship based on your own ability?"
"That's right. The fact that Zhu Shuyi didn't win the first prize only proves that he is not as skilled as others. He also lost the opportunity to enter Songhe Academy for free, which also shows that his ability is not good enough. What does this have to do with Sister Bingning?" Mu Hanling also agreed.
Mu Qingli also said, "This poetry contest is meant for everyone to participate. We can't let everyone give up the title just because someone is in trouble. If that's the case, what's the point of holding this poetry contest? Just let whoever is in trouble give it to him."
Everyone was talking at once, leaving Lu Peixiu speechless. The key point was that she suddenly found that what they said seemed to make sense.
Song Lin opened his folding fan and said leisurely, "Miss Lu is so indiscriminate in defending that Mr. Zhu. Could it be that she has a crush on him?"
"I didn't." Lu Peixiu was embarrassed and annoyed that Song Lin actually said that to her.
What a vicious mouth! He's trying to ruin her reputation.
She just felt sorry for Zhu Shuyi and thought that the title of poetry champion was of no importance to Song Bingning, but it could change the fate of others, so she shouldn't fight for it.
Besides, she doesn't like weak and feeble scholars. The man she likes must be better at fighting than herself.
Seeing that she was eager to deny it, Song Lin sneered, "Oh, since you don't fancy her, why do you come to trouble our Bingning? Do you think our Song family is easy to bully? Huh?"
The ending tone of the question was sharp and dangerous, and Lu Peixiu's heart trembled when she heard it.
She shook her head. “I’m not.”
Song Lin squinted at her with a cold face, "Miss Lu, please be careful with what you say and do in the future. Not everyone will spoil you like General Lu and Madam Lu. If I hear you accusing our Bingning without reason next time, you know my methods."
Lu Peixiu felt ashamed and wronged. It was just a quarrel between the juniors, and Song Lin, the elder, actually came out to blame her. It was really ungraceful of her.
He looked at Yunxi and King Nan, and saw that they were still washing the pot as if nothing had happened. He was so angry that his eyes turned red.
"Woo woo woo, you all ganged up on me and bullied me."
Having said that, the man ran out.
Yunxi gave Rendong a wink, and the latter nodded in understanding and followed.
The harmonious atmosphere was ultimately destroyed by Lu Peixiu.
Yun Xi said, "Come over some other day and we'll have some barbecue."
Yun Yan agreed, "Yes, let's go hunting in the back mountain and hunt more game. My sister is good at cooking, and the taste will be no worse than that of the pot."
After hearing this, I couldn't help swallowing my saliva when I thought of all the delicious barbecued wild game.
"Oh, I just finished my meal and I'm already looking forward to the next meal." Mu Hanling said.
Everyone else laughed, thinking the same thing as her.
Here, Lu Peixiu returned to her room depressed. Seeing that only Rendong had been following her silently, she couldn't bring herself to say the words Jingjing, wanting her to leave her.
She is not the type of person who can stay alone quietly. When she is sad, she hopes someone can comfort her. If there is no one to comfort her, she hopes there is someone who can accompany her silently.
It's also good like honeysuckle.
She said, "Many people said it was a pity that Zhu Shuyi missed the college entrance examination last time. He was the one who had the greatest hope of getting the top score. But his fate was unfortunate. His father had just died, and his stepmother didn't like him. She told him to move out of the house."
"If he wins the first prize at the poetry competition, he will be exempted from the tuition fees at Songhe College. Everyone knows that this is a rare opportunity for him. But Song Bingning went to grab the first prize. Why does she, the eldest daughter of the Song family, want the title of a talented woman? Isn't she just trying to show off?"
"Just to get attention, she ruined someone's life. Do you think she's being kind? I just can't stand selfish people like her. What's wrong with saying a few words?"
"I was clearly speaking up for justice, but how come they said I was attracted to Zhu Shuyi? What kind of people are they, slandering a girl like me like this?"
"And Mu Qingli and Mu Qingheng are even more despicable. I heard that the two brothers have always had a good relationship with Zhu Shuyi in the academy, but because Song Bingning won the poetry competition, they didn't say a fair word for Zhu Shuyi. They are really a group of snobs who follow the wind."
Lu Peixiu complained a lot, but seeing that Rendong just listened silently, she frowned and said, "Rendong, what did I say wrong? I just said something fair, but they don't like me. Even your master is the same."
Honeysuckle thought, you were wrong in everything you said.
However, she only said, "I don't know."
Lu Peixiu curled her lips, "How could you not know? After spending the past few days with you, I know that you are smart. I don't treat you as a maid. If you have something to say in front of me, just say it directly."
Rendong was clear about her identity. Although Lu Peixiu had been doing the same work as her these two days, she would not really treat her as a maid.
She is a respectable lady from the General Zhengnan's Mansion. You would have to be a fool to speak casually in front of her.
Just when I was trying to find an excuse to get away with it, Yun Xi came.
"Rosewood, Miss Lu likes people who are straightforward the most. Since she asked you to speak your mind, just tell us what you think. No need to beat around the bush. Just say what you think."
Ren Dong glanced at Yun Xi and immediately understood what her master meant. Without further hesitation, she said,
"Miss Lu, I am a servant and I don't understand the truth. But if you ask me what I think about this matter, I think that Mr. Zhu of Songhe Academy is indeed pitiful. You have good intentions to help him win the first prize in the poetry competition.
But it was not wrong for Miss Song to participate in the poetry competition and win the first prize. Poetry competitions are not prepared for certain people. Anyone who is capable can participate. If you lose, you can only blame yourself for not being as good as others, not others. "
"And if Miss Lu feels that it's a pity that Master Zhu didn't have the tuition to enter the academy, then when the time comes, you can just pay the tuition for him and help him take the imperial examination. There's no need to blame Miss Song."
