The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 59
Chapter 59: Education is For Everyone
Mr. Xu felt rather awkward.
The words spoken were like water that was splashed. He had been intentionally troubling her. Now that this Young Lady Xie could dictate the Sanskrit article, he could only let her pass following the rule.
Even if this young lady happened to be able to dictate this Sanskrit article, it was because of her capability.
Mr. Xu was struggling inside.
A moment later, he said with a stiff facial expression, “Not bad. You’re slightly better than your brother and sister.”
Xie Qiao held her head down quietly upon hearing that.
Soon, he heard her speaking slowly like flowing water, “You’re the teacher. Is there anything that I can say if you’re biased against my family? Since I’m the one who’s enrolling, I can only hold back and swallow my dignity of being wronged by you, sir. However, just tell me if you’re upset with me. Don’t bully my brother and sister. They’re still young…”
Xie Qiao held her head down while speaking. She was playing with the brush in her hand and seemed to be pitiful.
Given her identity, she should not be fighting with the teacher.
The teacher held a higher position than she did, so she could not fight him.
Since this teacher was bullying the weak, she showed her weakness for him to bully her so that he could knock himself out.
Xu Mian was stunned by what Xie Qiao said.
Before he could react, someone was speaking outside the window.
“Mr. Xu, you’re too much. Even we aren’t familiar with Sanskrit. You used that to test her, so aren’t you obstructing her from getting in intentionally?!”
“This Young Lady Xie is Xie Pinghuai and Xie Xi’s sister. There’s a reason why Mr. Xu did this!” Naturally, some people did not like Xie Qiao as well.
“Xie Pinghuai is Xie Pinghuai. What does he have to do with his sister? Also, Xie Pinghuai didn’t do anything bad, right?!” A student fought back.
“Their identity alone is a mistake! They’re born bandits. How good can they be?”
“Yes, Master Xie was a bandit, but the imperial court has recruited him now, and he’s been law-abiding these years. Moreover, it was Master Xie who fought the barbarians with the army back then. Where do you think this peace we’re enjoying comes from!?”
“Bandits are bandits. They fought the barbarians for their own benefits! They did that so that they could become officials!”
“It’s mainly because Xie Pinghuai and Xie Xi lack talent and morality. They embarrass our Royal Academy!”
“What does their embarrassment have anything to do with the Xie family’s eldest lady? Didn’t you guys hear? She had been living outside! She’s only coming to the academy when she’s already so old. Isn’t she innocent?”
…
At that moment, the people outside started fighting.
There were approximately 20 students who were currently watching. They were separated into two different camps now!
Xie Qiao did not hear anything else, where ‘she’s already so old’ had been echoing in her head…
If she remembered correctly, her birthday was in mid-July. She had even made herself a bowl of longevity noodles along the way to the capital. She had just turned 16 now.
Xie Qiao sighed softly.
Life was better at the temple. Her master would say that she was too young in order to drink more wine himself.
Xu Mian’s facial expression changed drastically. “Stop fighting. What nonsense is this!?”
“Sir, we’re fighting for you! This Master Xie has been bullying our academy over and over again. You did the right thing!” snarled a student.
“Bully? Our academy accepts gifts, it’s a known fact. How did Master Xie bully us? Didn’t you guys’ gift’ valuable items to get in here as well?”
“You’re humiliating the academy!”
“We’re just saying as it is!”
Xu Mian instantly realized what he did wrong as he watched these people fighting furiously.
When the Xie family had sent their son and daughter to the academy two years ago, Xu Mian had been pissed that they carried the silvers to the dean. Back then, the dean had merely said four words while smiling; “Education is for everyone.”
