Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 404 Academy Turbulence

After signing the contract and putting his fingerprints on it, Ye Wu took out the silver note and handed it to him.

Qingluan took the money and murmured, "Great, I can redeem the jade pendant."

He immediately returned to his room, poured out the money he had saved over the years, and counted them one by one.

Adding the 240 taels that Ye Wu advanced him, the total was exactly 1,500 taels.

This amount of money was enough to buy a small courtyard in the capital, but Qingluan put the money carefully into the bag.

He hadn't had a good sleep for several days, so he yawned and thought it wouldn't be too late to redeem it after he woke up.

......

Gu family.

After Gu Qingyuan taught the servants a lesson and drove out the two servants who talked about Xiao Nian, no one dared to say anything in front of Xiao Nian anymore.

When Xixi was not at home, Wen Shubai held Xiaonian in his arms and taught her to read.

They plan to wait until next year to send Xiao Nian to the academy, after all, she is too young now.

Moreover, to enter the academy, Xiao Nian needs to pass the test of Master Shen, so he needs to study.

What surprised Wen Shubai was that Xiao Nian learned new things very quickly and basically she could understand without much teaching.

He said with some distress: "It seems that you will have to let your mother teach you when the time comes."

Although he had read a lot of books when he was in the palace, he still felt it would be better to let Gu Qingyuan teach her.

After all, sometimes Xiao Nian's questions would stump him.

At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Master, there seems to be someone outside."

Wen Shubai put Xiao Nian down, and Xiao Nian said sensibly, "Dad, I'm busy."

He glanced at Xiao Nian and said, "Okay, then Xiao Nian, read a book by yourself for a while."

After coming outside, Wen Shubai saw a woman who looked like she came from the academy and couldn't help asking, "What happened?"

The woman explained, "It was Miss Gu Er. She had an argument with someone and hit someone on the head, causing bleeding."

"I see."

Now that Gu Qingyuan is not at home, he has to deal with it.

Wen Shubai asked Yu Shui to go out with him.

After arriving at the academy, the people at the gate let them in.

Wen Shubai searched for Xixi, asking the woman who brought them here, "What happened? Why did Xixi get into an argument with someone?"

The woman said helplessly, "Lord Wen, go and take a look and you'll know."

Wen Shubai clenched his fists and quickened his pace as he headed inside.

When he got there, he saw Xixi being dragged along by someone, and next to her stood a child with blood gushing out of his head. The child looked taller than the average child, and was probably the biggest one in the class.

Master Shen was not there, and the one teaching the children in the enlightenment class was a master named Qin.

Seeing Wen Shubai coming over, Xixi seemed to have found support and lay on him. Wen Shubai pulled her away, looked at the injured child again, and asked her: "What's the situation?"

Xixi cried out of grievance and said, "It was Jia Yue. She said I took her bracelet, but I clearly didn't, so she hit me with a chair."

Because it hit Xixi's back, it was not very obvious through her clothes.

Jia Yue covered his injured forehead and said, "It was you who obviously took a fancy to my bracelet and secretly took it away. Now you beat me when I want it back."

Xixi said anxiously, "I didn't take it!"

"Why is that bracelet in your bag?"

Xixi argued for herself: "How would I know your things were in my bag? I swear I didn't take your things."

As she spoke, she held Wen Shubai's hand and said, "Dad, I really didn't take it. She framed me!"

Someone nearby said, "I think I saw Jia Yue's jade bracelet in Xixi's bag."

"Yeah, yeah, I never thought Gu Wenxi was actually a thief."

"We should not play with her anymore."

Xixi didn't cry when Jia Yue hit her on the back with a chair, but when she heard everyone talking about her like this, she couldn't help but burst into tears of grievance.

Wen Shubai squatted down, wiped her tears with his sleeve, and then looked coldly at the girl who said Xixi stole her things.

Of course, he knew his daughter best. Although Xixi was a little naughty when she was at home, she would never do such a thing as stealing.

Xixi whispered again: "Dad, my back hurts."

Wen Shubai lifted up her clothes and saw the shocking wound on her back.

Master Qin said from the side: "Gu Wenxi, if you took it, return it to Jia Yue..."

Now both children are injured in the academy, and she just hopes that this matter will be over soon.

Yu Shui interrupted and said, "Our Second Young Lady would never take someone else's things. Is this a misunderstanding?"

Jia Yue insisted, "She took it. She must have been jealous that my father bought me the jade bracelet, so she stole it."

She walked to Xixi and shook her bag, and a jade bracelet fell to the ground.

Jia Yue said proudly: "See, I said Gu Wenxi is a thief!"

The people around me looked down on me.

"Ah, so she's a thief..."

"I didn't expect that. We should not have any contact with her. What if she steals from us?"

"That's right, she took someone else's things first and then hit him on the head until he bled."

Xixi was a little excited again, but Wen Shubai held her down at this time.

He stared at Jia Yue and asked her word by word: "Are you sure it was Xixi who took it?"

Jia Yue wanted to insist that she took it, but for some reason she suddenly felt dizzy.

Wen Shubai had not used his ability to control people's souls for a long time. At this moment, watching Xixi being framed, he briefly controlled Jia Yue.

Then, Jia Yue said, "I deliberately put the bracelet in Gu Wenxi's bag during the break, so that everyone would think she was a thief and not play with her."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Yes... I'm jealous of her. Why does she have so many good friends right after arriving? Why is she smarter than me and learns faster than me..."

Resentment appeared in Jia Yue's eyes.

As soon as she said this, there was an uproar.

Wen Shubai finally regained control of her, but he felt himself swaying. Xixi quickly supported him and asked with concern, "Dad? Are you okay?"

He shook his head and suddenly chuckled, "Now you all understand, right? She deliberately framed Xixi."

Wen Shubai looked at the woman who brought him here and pressed him, "Just now you said Xixi had an argument with someone and hit someone on the head, causing bleeding. But why didn't you mention that Xixi was also beaten?"

From the beginning, she was misleading herself.

The woman was a little flustered and said, "I'm just a little anxious."

Jia Yue realized what he had said belatedly and quickly covered his mouth.
