After the episode, when the rooms were assigned, Xi Duanhong was assigned to a separate room, while Le Feng was assigned to a room with those who bullied her.
Xi Duanhong took Le Feng's hand and was worried: "A Feng, if it doesn't work out, I'll go find the steward sister to discuss it. I'm worried about you..."
Le Feng smiled bitterly. She knew that she and Xi Duanhong were not in the same position at all. It was enough for her to protect her like that just now.
"It's okay, I can do it, don't worry about me."
Seeing this, Xi Duanhong couldn't say anything more, so he had to let her go, "Then be careful. If they bully you, just come and tell me, and I will definitely help you vent your anger!"
"Thank you..."
——
From that day on, Xi Duanhong rarely met Le Feng. He had just finished his undergraduate class that day. It was rare for Xi Duanhong to see Le Feng. He was excited to go up and say hello, "A Feng..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Le Feng hurriedly leaving with his head down and holding the scroll.
Xi Duanhong curled her lips and walked back alone. On the way back, she lowered her head and thought hard. She didn't know what she was thinking about. She didn't even hear others calling her many times.
"Miss Xi?"
Duanhong yelled many times before he finally reacted, "Huh?"
Seeing that the person who came was Chen Shuli, Xi Duanhong realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly saluted and said, "I have met Chief Chen."
Chen Shuli was still smiling, "You're welcome, but it's you, what are you thinking so absorbed in?"
Xi Duanhong smiled awkwardly and said, "It's nothing. Why is the boss here?"
Chen Shuli smiled lightly and handed the scroll in his arms to Xi Duanhong, "These are the academy's rules. You seem to be the only one who hasn't read them. I sent them to you especially."
He took the scroll and said, "Thank you, sir. I've got a lot of work."
However, when Xi Duanhong opened it after returning, she was really shocked. There were no rules in this file. It was clearly a file that would only appear in the court.
The content inside shocked her even more. The entire file was completely talking about the mysterious case fifteen years ago. When she saw the back part, Xi Duanhong almost wanted to avenge the injustice of the family above.
Why would Chief Chen give this to me?
——
On the second day, an impromptu debate competition was held in the academy. The team formation was random and there were no fixed requirements. It was the first time for everyone to participate in such an event, and they stood there not knowing what to do.
After Xi Duanhong got along with everyone these days, he generally had his own choice.
"Miss Xi, can we join a group with you?"
Xi Duanhong looked at the two people who came to see him unexpectedly, and his spring-like smile made Xi Duanhong immediately respond, "Of course, it's my honor."
There is still half a stick of incense left, and there is still one person left, but I don’t know who to look for.
"Excuse me, are you still missing someone? Can I come with you?"
The three of them all looked up at the owner of the voice, who was a man wearing a mask and dressed in black robes who did not look like a student in the academy.
Xi Duanhong looked at the two people around him suspiciously, "Is it okay for just anyone from outside?"
The two men shrugged, "I don't know."
Xi Duanhong asked tentatively, "Master, are you also a student of the academy?"
"certainly."
"Okay, of course. I'm Xi Duanhong. Please give me your advice."
"Um."
The four of them came to Chen Shuli to sign up. Chen Shuli was stunned for a moment when he saw the man wearing a mask and a black robe, and then smiled and shook his head to sign up for them.
Xi Duanhong, Gu Ci, Mu Lingchuan, and Qingtong, looking at the names of the four people written down on the piece of paper in front of him, Chen Shuli smiled helplessly: What an interesting combination, the Third Young Master Gu, the Ninth Prince, and an incompetent person. It's really interesting to talk about the person's identity and this Xi Duanhong.
The four of them got to know each other but didn't know their true identities, but that was enough.
Facing the unknown challenge, Xi Duanhong was still very interested, "Do you know the test questions for this debate? If you know, you can make some preparations. If you don't, then you have to make plans at that time."
Gu Ci thought for a moment and said, "It should be an exam question about the murder of the Xu family fifteen years ago."
Xi Duanhong looked at the three of them in surprise, "You all know what happened fifteen years ago?"
"Of course, all the people of Daqi should know about this, don't you know?"
The speaker was a handsome young man in yellow clothes holding a folding fan, Mu Lingchuan.
The four of them walked and chatted, and came to a pavilion to sit down. Gu Ci said: "Today's dinner should be the first one. Do you have any countermeasures?"
Mu Lingchuan smiled faintly, "The soldiers will come to block the water and the earth will cover it up. You and I are both civil servants, so why be afraid!"
"Hahaha! What Brother Chuan said is true. You and I are both civil servants, so why should we be afraid?"
Gu Ci and Mu Lingchuan seemed to be very close to each other once again. However, the young boy sitting beside him was taciturn. He had never said a word since they formed the team, which made Xi Duanhong have a lot of feelings for him. interest of
"Qingtong, why don't you speak?" Xi Duanhong leaned over and looked at him with a smile, "If you have any insights, you can tell me."
The human face under the mask shook his head slightly, "I'm actually just trying to make up the numbers."
How should she answer the call?
At this time, four women walked towards Xi Duanhong, sarcastically mocking him.
"Hey, look, who is this? It's so shameless to be surrounded by a group of men, ha~"
The leading woman, Xi Duanhong, had been seen on the academy list. She was Nan Lian, the daughter of Lord Nancheng, the current minister. Her arrogant appearance was ridiculous. Xi Duanhong disdained to pay attention to her, along with the three people around her. Like everyone else, Nan Lian didn't take a serious look at her.
Nan Lian saw that no one was paying attention to her. Even the three young masters around her didn't look at her, which made her very embarrassed.
He frowned slightly, looking angry, "Hey, Xi Duanhong, I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?!"
Xi Duanhong looked helplessly at Nan Lian, and then at the women following her, "Miss Nan, if you talk to me, do I have to pay attention to you? Who made this rule? How come I don't know?" ?”
"You! Presumptuous!"
The little follower who was following Nan Lian said, "Do you know what our Miss Nan Lian's background is? You can offend the daughter of the Minister! Why don't you kowtow and admit your mistake!"
Nan Lian crossed her arms on her chest and looked at the people in front of her with a condescending look. She originally thought that Xi Duanhong would kowtow and admit her mistake, but unexpectedly she just sneered.
"why are you laughing!"
"Does what I'm laughing at have anything to do with you? Miss Nan, don't be too lenient in managing people and affairs. Some people are beyond your control. Be careful about how you get involved."
Gu Ci and Mu Lingchuan, who were chatting on the side, couldn't help but burst into laughter. At this moment, Nan Lian felt even more ashamed and pointed all the fingers at Xi Duanhong.
"Hmph, you seduced three men at once. Xi Duanhong, you are so shameless. It's such a shame to have someone like you in the academy!"
"Really, you are envious? If you are envious, go and hook up with her if you can, and let all the men surround you. Why are you envious of me?" The more Xi Duanhong said, the more he felt that Nan Lian in front of him was coming from him. The partner's eyes flashed, "You came here because you want me to give you one?"
"Pfft...ahem..." The three people on the side couldn't hold back their laughter again, but they still tried their best to restrain themselves.
"You! You've gone too far!"
The little followers who were following Nan Lian gathered around, and Xi Duanhong thought it was funny: Is this woman really brainless or just stupid to begin with.
Just when Xi Duanhong really didn't want to pay attention to her anymore, Gu Ci, who was chatting aside, said coldly: "It turned out that everyone chose based on their own eyes. It's better not to be pushy, girl. It's just for your own good and for your sake." My father, who is still in the fourth-rank official position, has accumulated good deeds."
"You, you! Okay, Xi Duanhong, I have written down what happened today, just wait for me!" After saying that, Nan Lian angrily left with his little follower without looking back.
Xi Duanhong just felt helpless. He didn't provoke her to do anything, so she pointed the finger at him. He didn't understand.
