Wen Yantong was thinking about what Chi Jingxi was up to these three days.
Chi Jingxi slowly moved away from the crowd and walked over. His eyes were still dark and deep, but it seemed that there was exhaustion hidden in them, and he did not have the energy of the past.
Wen Yantong unconsciously picked the mud between his fingers, and couldn't see the people around him at all, staring at Chi Jingxi uncontrollably.
Sun Yu, Li Boyuan and others also arrived, and they had already heard some content when they arrived, and their faces were very dark.
Stealing is the act of a thief. Songhai Academy, as a well-known academy handed down throughout the country, absolutely cannot tolerate such behavior by the students in the academy. Not to mention that thieves are breaking the law, just the news of this spread is enough for the world to laugh for a while.
What's more, what was stolen was the little lord's stuff.
Wu Yutian knew the seriousness of this matter, so he couldn't wait to call most of the masters in the academy, and immediately wanted to condemn Wen Yantong for being unable to stand up.
He quickly walked up to Wen Yantong, stared at him and said, "Wen Yantong! Now that the masters are all here, your scandal has been exposed! Why don't you dig it up and admit your mistakes."
Wen Yantong's gaze moved away from Chi Jingxi's body, and when it fell on Wu Yutian's body, it was cold and looked at each other at close range.
Wen Yantong should have panicked and pretended to be scared, but now she is really in a bad mood and can't do so much drama, so she asked in a cold voice, "I just buried a small thing, and I didn't violate the academy's regulations. Is it necessary to mobilize teachers like this?"
Unexpectedly, because Wu Yutian pretended to be calm after her incident was exposed, she became more confident, pointing to the things on the ground and said, "Don't you know what you buried?"
Wen Yantong stood up slowly, and replied, "A box."
The people around were all staring. Li Boyuan wanted to go up to participate, but Sun Yu stopped him and shook his head secretly.
Wu Yutian sneered, "What's in the box?"
Wen Yantong looked at him, was about to speak, but heard a loud voice, "Who dares to bully our little cripple!"
Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw that Mu Yang was watching and running quickly, and suddenly jumped in front of Wen Yantong, raised his hand and pushed Wu Yutian, "Why is it you again?!"
I don't know whether it was Mu Yang's strong hands or Wu Yutian's weak body, so he was pushed and fell to the ground.
Fu Zixian followed behind, running in a hurry, walking slightly panting, pulled Mu Yang's handle, and said in a low voice, "Master is here, don't be impulsive."
Mu Yang stiffened his neck, "This Wu guy is always spreading rumors, I think he deserves a beating!"
Wu Yutian yelled, "I didn't spread rumors! It's true! Wen Yantong stole something from the young master, hid it in a box, and said he was going to sell it. I heard him say it with my own ears!"
Mu Yang said angrily, "Then what do you think he stole?"
Wu Yutian said, "It's the jade token of Lord Marquis!"
After hearing this, Mu Yang was stunned for a while, turned his head to look at Chi Jingxi, and muttered, "Brother Xi's jade token is indeed lost..."
Immediately there were buzzing discussions around, and the spearhead was directed at Wen Yantong.
"It's been lost a long time ago, it's impossible for Wen Yantong to pick it up." Mu Yang said.
Wu Yutian saw that there was a door, and hurriedly shouted, "Wen Yantong must have stolen it! Young Master Mu, don't be fooled by him!"
Mu Yang rolled up his sleeves, as if he wanted to beat him up.
"Yang'er." Chi Jingxi called him suddenly.
Mu Yang turned his head and responded, "Brother Xi, Wen Yantong won't steal from you, he's not that kind of person..."
Chi Jingxi's eyes were heavy, but his expression was still calm, and he said, "Come here first, don't get in the way."
The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Speaking of the bottom pool, Jingxi is also the main person in this matter, although he stood by the side like a bystander and did not participate.
He said don't get in the way. Everyone thought that this was Chi Jingxi trying to embarrass Wen Yantong. But Wen Yantong's heart skipped a beat after hearing this sentence.
This is too ambiguous. She didn't know whether the "thing" Chi Jingxi said was Wu Yutian's interrogation of her, or if she had designed it.
If it's the latter, doesn't it mean that he already knew what she did
How much does he know? Will she also know that the jade card is really in her hand
Wen Yantong suddenly felt timid in his heart, and he didn't dare to see Chi Jingxi again.
Mu Yang was also very tangled, he looked at Chi Jingxi, then at Wen Yantong. Finally, he took two steps to the side. He believed that Wen Yantong did not steal anything, and he also believed that Chi Jingxi must have his own judgment.
His retreat made Wu Yutian think that he was supported, and his arrogance became more and more vigorous. He jumped up and shouted, "Wen Yantong, we have so many eyes! You should give up struggling as soon as possible. Tell the truth, the Master is a person who can distinguish right from wrong, so don't even think about fooling around!"
Wen Yantong said, "I said, this is just a box, don't make trouble."
Wu Yutian didn't believe it, he rushed up and started to dig the soil. Wen Yantong saw the opportunity and stepped down, trampling Wu Yutian's hand with the soil.
The foot was firmly planted, without any strength remaining, Wu Yutian immediately screamed, "My hand! My hand!"
Wen Yantong put more force on his feet, and said in disgust, "You are really annoying, you have to publicize something like this when others bury it."
Wu Yutian yelled, "You have a guilty conscience! If you are capable, show everyone what you have buried!"
Before Wen Yantong could speak, he heard Chi Jingxi's voice, "Master, the student wants to ask, how should we deal with people who make trouble out of nothing and frame their classmates?"
Li Boyuan has always favored Chi Jingxi, and when he saw him asking, he said to his grandson, "Such students ruin the atmosphere of the academy and hurt the friendship of classmates. They are not worthy of studying in Songhai Academy. They should be expelled from the academy and reported to the Holy Majesty. Severe punishment!"
Wu Yutian was startled when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head to look at Wen Yantong, suddenly he seemed to realize something, his whole face turned pale.
Wen Yantong loosened his feet, took two steps back, and said, "What the master said is very true, it's better for such villains to be driven out of the academy as soon as possible."
After Wu Yutian withdrew his hand, he was not in a hurry to pick up the soil on the ground, and stared at Wen Yantong restlessly, thinking about her face.
Wen Yantong looked at him condescendingly, his delicate eyes were as cold as ice, making Wu Yutian feel cold all over his body.
Wen Yantong shouldn't have such an expression at this time.
Wu Yutian suddenly thought of something, he lowered his head and stared at the half-sized pit dug out, the brocade box was barely exposed, it was clearly the same as what he had seen before, but now it made him feel terrified.
Wen Yantong saw that his face was turning green and then pale and green, and knew that he might have realized something, so he said in a very low voice, "I just realized it now, isn't it a bit late?"
Wu Yutian's eyes widened, "You! How dare you..."
Wen Yantong could only respond with a sneer, and said loudly to Li Boyuan, "Master, Wu Yutian is not used to me for a long time, he tried to frame me many times, and this time he spread rumors out of thin air that I stole things from the young master... "
She looked at Chi Jingxi from the side, and said seriously, "I can learn from the sun and the moon to the young master, and I can express my sincerity. How could I steal his things? This time, Wu Yutian's rumors seriously hurt my relationship with the young master." Friendship, he has ignored me for three days, which made me very sad, and I would like to ask my master to enlighten me, and give me justice!"
Although there are irrelevant elements in these remarks, they are true in the end, so Wen Yantong spoke extremely seriously.
After hearing this, everyone looked at Chi Jingxi one after another, as if they were probing his expression. But Chi Jingxi's expression was always unpredictable, and now she was staring at Wen Yantong, but she didn't know what she was thinking.
Li Boyuan immediately said, "Quickly go forward and dig out that box!"
Several servants stepped forward together, Wu Yutian was shocked, and opened his arms as if to block, "Wait..."
Being pushed away by the servants, he was so frightened that his whole body went limp, and he couldn't stand still and fell hard to the ground. The box was buried shallow, and the servants dug it out in two or three strokes, and took out a box full of mud.
Li Boyuan said, "Open it and have a look."
So the brocade box was opened in full view, but the inside was empty, with nothing in it.
Wen Yantong raised his chin slightly, "Look, it's just a box."
Wu Yutian trembled all over, quickly got up and snatched the box to see, it was indeed an empty box, he stared at Wen Yantong with eyes full of hatred.
Wen Yantong was not afraid at all, "What? Did you disappoint?"
Wu Yutian threw the box on the ground and frantically went to dig the hole in the ground. After digging for a while, his fingernails were full of dirt, but he didn't find anything.
be cheated!
He wanted to understand thoroughly, and roared towards Wen Yantong.
Wen Yantong was only three steps away from him, and he jumped at such a fast speed that even if Wen Yantong could react, he couldn't dodge in time.
When she was watching Wu Yutian's ferocious face rushing towards her, a force suddenly came from her wrist, which pulled her back completely. After taking two steps back uncontrollably, her lower back bumped into a powerful arm.
Then Chi Jingxi's voice sounded above his head, "Hold him down."
The two guards immediately stepped forward, shot from left and right, and pressed Wu Yutian hard to the ground. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't move, and could only yell impotently.
Li Boyuan's face turned blue with anger, and he sighed three times in a row.
Sun Yu quickly said, "Wu Yutian spread rumors, sowed dissension, made mistakes, and tried to attack his classmates. The rotten wood is hard to carve. Today, the school announced that this student will be expelled from Songhai Academy, his student status will be removed, and he will be temporarily detained. The government will report it to the Ministry of Punishment tomorrow, and focus on dealing with it. Let all students take this as a warning, and don't be pretentious."
How could Wu Yutian accept it? He burst into tears and shouted, "No! Master, please listen to my explanation! It was Wen Yantong who deliberately framed me!"
Looking at the begging Wu Yutian, some people gloated, some felt disappointed, and some felt pity.
But no one wanted to hear Wu Yutian's explanation, not even Master. So he was sent out of Songhai Academy while yelling.
After Sun Yu finished speaking, Chi Jingxi let go of Wen Yantong's hand and turned to leave. Wen Yantong didn't even think about it, but took a wrong step and grabbed his hand again.
Chi Jingxi's hand was much bigger than Wen Yantong's, and when she grasped it, she actually only grasped three fingers.
But success gave him pause.
After Wen Yantong caught the person, she realized that her hands were covered with dirt, and when she looked down, she really muddied Chi Jingxi's clean and fair hands, and she quickly let go.
Chi Jingxi turned to look at her, and saw her quickly rubbing her hands on her clothes, then grabbed his hands again, and wiped off the mud on his hands with her sleeves.
Wen Yantong's hands were soft but cold, probably because of the soil he dug just now. Chi Jingxi moved her fingertips lightly, as if she wanted to wrap her hands around her, and then passed the heat from the palms to her, warming up these cold and soft little hands.
But he didn't move in the end, but looked at Wen Yantong's serious face and asked softly, "What's the matter?"
Wen Yantong withdrew his hand, looked up at him, moved his lips, and finally asked, "Young Master, are you going back to the dormitory tonight?"
Chi Jingxi nodded.
Wen Yantong's shoulders were loose, and although there was no change on his face, his emotions eased a lot, and he said, "Then I'll wait for the young master."
Chi Jingxi's eyes suddenly became cloudy, like churning ink, he looked deeply into Wen Yantong's eyes, turned and left without saying anything.
Wen Yantong stood still for a while, until he saw Chi Jingxi's background disappear, then turned around, and saw that all the people around had left, and Fu Zixian was standing behind him holding the brocade box.
Mu Yang looked around the brocade box twice, "I didn't see any tricks."
Wen Yantong was in an inexplicable mood, the corners of his mouth turned up, and then he stepped forward to take the box and continued to bury it on the spot.
Mu Yang wondered, "Why did you bury this box?"
Wen Yantong said, "Before it was buried to make people who obstruct the eyes disappear from sight, but now it is mainly for commemorative significance."
After she buried the soil firmly, she stepped on it a few times with her feet. Mu Yang thought for a while, as if he suddenly understood, he pointed at her and said, "You kid... did you have some bad idea?"
Wen Yantong looked at him, "Forget it, I will explain to you another day."
With Mu Yang's impatience, how could he wait until another day, and immediately grabbed Wen Yantong, "No, tell me now, otherwise I won't let you go!"
Wen Yantong shook his arms, "I have business to do now."
Mu Yang said, "I'm serious about this too!"
Wen Yantong was helpless, heaved a long sigh, and had no choice but to tell Mu Yang about his plan.
This plan started to sprout when Chi Jingxi's jade plaque was picked up in the palace. Although she didn't know why Chi Jingxi's jade card was left in front of her by a sneaky court lady, but in order to prevent someone from using this jade card to do anything against Chi Jingxi, she boldly put The jade token came back.
At that time, she was also thinking about how to deal with Wu Yutian severely, it would be best to drive him out of the academy completely, so she naturally wanted to use this jade card as a badge.
Of course, she didn't know the importance of this jade token before, anyway, as long as it belongs to Chi Jingxi, it will do.
In order to find someone to cooperate with her in carrying out the plan, she made an appointment with Fu Zixian on the day of Xiumu, and then told him the plan. But she didn't directly tell Fu Zixian that she had Chi Jingxi's jade token in her hand, she just lied that she had seen it, and then wanted to find a jade shop to make a copy of the jade token.
Since she lives with Chi Jingxi now, it is quite reasonable to say that she has seen the jade tablet, and Fu Zixian has no doubts. A jade tablet that looks like it on the surface.
But in fact, the difference is still very big. Whether it is materials, workmanship or carving, Chi Jingxi's jade plaque is a high-quality top-grade product. With the human eye, it is impossible to confuse the fake with the real.
Fortunately, Wu Yutian had never seen any jade plaques, at most he had heard of them.
Wen Yantong's plan actually had a lot of loopholes, but she deliberately pretended to be cautious and attracted Wu Yutian to the bait, perhaps because Wu Yutian was really too anxious to frame Wen Yantong that he didn't think about it that much.
The jade tablet that was smashed by Wu Yutian had already been completely smashed to pieces by Wen Yantong and thrown in an inconspicuous place, but the real jade tablet was actually hidden in the padded compartment under the soft couch.
After Wen Yantong finished talking to Mu Yang, Mu Yang was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to say, "When did you become so smart?"
Wen Yantong spread his hands, "It's you who misunderstood me, I've always been so smart!"
Mu Yang hesitated to speak for a long time, and finally choked out a sentence, "You are really stupid."
Wen Yantong choked, "I'm sorry, Brother Mu, I was really wrong, I will never teach you things indiscriminately again next time, so please stop using this idiot."
Mu Yang was puzzled, "I praised you, but you are not happy? Didn't you often praise me like this before?"
This time Wen Yantong could be regarded as lifting a rock and smashing his foot into a comminuted fracture. He said tearfully, "I'm happy, I'm so happy! It's just that I deserve it and I can't bear your praise."
Mu Yang was happy, and hugged her neck, "Why can't you afford it? In my eyes, you are a peerless idiot."
"Thank you so much." Wen Yantong had no choice but to reply, "You are also a peerless idiot."
Who knew that Mu Yang was still shy, and scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, "I, I can't reach that level yet..."
Wen Yantong: ...
After exchanging compliments with Mu Yang, she bid farewell to the two of them, turned and went back to the dormitory. Thinking of Chi Jingxi saying that he would be back tonight, Wen Yantong was still a little happy.
No matter what, it's better than not seeing anyone all the time, right? Even if Chi Jingxi blamed her for this incident, she was willing to accept it. After all, she did take advantage of Chi Jingxi in a small way.
After entering the room and washing his hands and feet, Wen Yantong just stepped on the soft carpet when he heard the young man next to him say, "My lord, the master is waiting for you in the study."
ah? Come back so early
Wen Yantong didn't go to the study immediately, instead, he walked around the edge of the soft bed, picked out a soft cotton pad, and carried it to the study.
She tapped on the door frame three times, and after a moment of silence, she heard Chi Jingxi's voice, "Come in."
Wen Yantong opened the cotton curtain and went in, and saw Chi Jingxi standing with his back to the door, as if he was picking out the book samples on the bookshelf.
She glanced at it, then threw the cotton pad on the ground, and knelt on it, "Young Master, I was wrong."
As the saying goes, thousands of clothes are worn for thousands of times, but flattery is not worn. It's just like admitting your mistake first.
No matter what it is, it's just a sentence anyway, I was wrong.
Chi Jingxi turned her head and saw her kneeling on the ground, her eyes moved slightly, her expression a little hesitant.
But she still didn't say anything, instead she sat on a chair with a book, looked at her and said, "What's wrong?"
Wen Yantong didn't hear anger from his tone, so he raised his head to see his expression. Chi Jingxi looked at her for a moment, then lowered his eyes to read a book, as if not giving her a chance to pry into her heart.
Wen Yantong said, "Anyway, Young Master knows."
In the past, he would say what he was wrong, and he would lie and fool if he didn't want to say it, but now he doesn't even want to say it. Chi Jingxi couldn't help laughing at such a scoundrel, and then he said, "I know What?"
"You know a lot." Wen Yantong said.
"Then should I know that you made a fake jade token, or that you picked up the real jade token?" Chi Jingxi asked slowly.
Wen Yantong stared in horror.
"Or, I also know that you hide the jade plaque in the compartment under the soft couch?"
Fuck, you know all this? !
