Dean Yue wanted to let the incident of that day go by this way, but he accidentally learned about the relationship between Chen Zhongqian and Chen Zhongda, and found out several culprits who spread the rumors. One of them said that it was Chen Zhongqian's fellow villagers who asked him to spread these rumors.
words.
He doesn't care about Chen Zhongqian's entanglements with outsiders, but he will care about the conduct of the students at Yueshan Academy.
If this matter was done by Chen Zhongda, then this student would not stay at Yueshan Academy. I called Chen Zhongda here today just to find out.
Dean Yue asked, "Then did you have people spread rumors that Chen Zhongqian's disease was tuberculosis, that he was involved with the Wei family, and that he entered the academy through fraud?"
"No." Chen Zhongda said, "I respect my elder brother and would not do such a thing."
Dean Yue was willing to believe his students, but he also needed evidence that could dispel his doubts, "Is this really true?"
"yes."
The two were talking in the study when Chen Zhongqian suddenly came and was waiting outside to see Dean Yue.
Dean Yue glanced at Chen Zhongda, and then let Chen Zhongqian come in, "What do you want from me?"
Chen Zhongqian greeted him respectfully, "Dean, I am here to vouch for my cousin. He is not the one spreading rumors."
"Why do you know?"
Chen Zhongqian smiled slightly, "Because I know who it is, I also asked the dean to send someone to the Chen family to inform the family that Zhongda is involved in this matter. He may drop out of school, and someone will give you the answer."
After a while, Chen Zhongqian and Chen Zhongda left together, walked through the garden, and returned to the classroom for class.
Chen Zhongqian saw that he was worried, "Are you blaming me?"
"No." Chen Zhongda shook his head, "Grandpa did something wrong this time, and I should let him know the seriousness of it. But I'm thinking that maybe I really can't stay here anymore. Even if it was grandpa who did it, I...
…”
"Why do you always take the blame for what others do?" Chen Zhongqian asked him, "Then do you think what grandpa did has anything to do with me?"
"of course not."
"So, what does it have to do with you? I believe in Dean Yue's character, and you should also believe that you bear the hopes of the Chen family. But you are Chen Zhongda, and you represent yourself, not the Chen family. Understand
?"
Chen Zhongqian's words always made him suddenly enlightened. Chen Zhongda smiled and nodded, "I understand, thank you brother."
After class was over, the two of them went back to the classroom. Yue Ye asked in a low voice, "Why did you go?"
"Look for the dean."
"Why are you looking for me...our dean?"
"Please teach me."
Yue Ye immediately smiled like a fool, "Go, go, go find Dean Yue more, it will be beneficial."
Yue Ye hoped that Chen Zhongqian would become his father's direct disciple, so that they could get closer and take the exams for merit and honor together. How great would it be?
His father likes students who like to ask for advice. If he asks more, he will definitely succeed.
Dean Yue thought for a while and followed Chen Zhongqian's wishes. He sent someone to Da'ao Village to interview Chen Zhongda's family.
It was noon when I went there, and the entire Chen family was there. Seeing someone coming outside, Chen Xiuyun quickly went to the house to find Chen Mingyi.
"Grandpa, someone you don't know is coming outside."
Chen Mingyi was the head of the family, so it was natural for him to come forward when something happened. When he went outside, he didn't recognize the person coming and was a little confused.
"who are you looking for?"
"Is this Chen Zhongda's home?"
Chen Mingyi nodded, "I am Chen Zhongda's grandfather."
"Well, can you make the decision on Chen Zhongda's affairs? I am the steward of Yueshan Academy. He is suspected of spreading rumors and causing trouble. My family will come with me right now. After finding out the matter, I will ask him to drop out of school."
These words were told by Dean Yue. After hearing this, Chen Mingyi became unsteady and hurriedly said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, my grandson is not that kind of person."
"Why don't you all please go to the academy? Our Yueshan Academy will never wrongly accuse innocent people. If Chen Zhongda is innocent, he will definitely be fine."
Chen Mingyi's palms were all sweaty. He didn't expect that what he did would involve his grandson. What should he do?
"Well, well, please wait a moment. I'll go into the house and explain a few words to my family before I leave."
When it came to Chen Zhongda, Chen Mingyi didn't dare to be careless at all. He went back and said something before hurried out and went to town with the steward of the academy.
He was so panicked along the way. How could Zhongda be involved? If Zhongda dropped out of school because of this incident, it would really be more of a loss than a gain.
When they arrived at Yueshan Academy, they were taken directly to see Dean Yue. Chen Zhongda was waiting on the road and said in a panic, "Grandpa, I don't want to drop out of school."
Chen Mingyi sighed, "This matter has nothing to do with you. What are you doing by dropping out of school? I'm here to explain things clearly, and those who are innocent will self-examine themselves."
Chen Zhongda said, "Are you really innocent?"
Chen Mingyi glared at him and then at the steward next to him, "I'll go see the dean first."
After he left, Chen Zhongda let out a sigh of relief, hoping that the shock this time was useful and that grandpa would not do such stupid things in the future.
When Chen Zhongda came out of a class, Chen Mingyi happened to finish talking to Dean Yue. When he saw him, he pulled him aside.
"Has Dean Yue ever asked you for questions?"
Chen Zhongda didn't say anything. He quickly explained, "That matter cannot be justified. I have taken over it myself and has nothing to do with you. I think Dean Yue will not implicate you. You can study in the academy with peace of mind. Next year's major
It’s time to take the exam and try.”
"grandfather……"
Chen Mingyi said, "I won't say too much. Anyway, you just need to know that I did all this because of you. The hope of the Chen family lies in you. One more thing, don't get too close to Chen Zhongqian."
"Why?"
"Why do you mean? Don't you know why this incident involves you? I've seen it a long time ago. He is just dissatisfied that you were admitted to Yueshan Academy. You and he can't get along well. You blame me for being behind the scenes.
I'm trying to use tricks, but actually it's all for you."
Chen Zhongda hurriedly explained, "Grandpa, eldest brother is not that kind of person, why don't you realize your mistakes? If grandpa hadn't let people spread rumors this time, how could something like this happen? Grandpa is already here,
Don’t you understand this yet?”
Chen Mingyi glared at him, "There is no need to say any more. I know what to do. I have two taels of silver here. Don't be shy in the academy. People who want to take the exam in the future should be more generous."
"I don't need it." Chen Zhongda returned the money to him, "I said I would rely on myself, and I will keep my word. Grandpa should take my words to heart and don't do this again."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and went back to class. However, Chen Mingyi was thinking that the students in this academy didn't look simple. Zhongda really needed a lot of money if he wanted to live a decent life. It seemed that Xiuyun's marriage should be done well.
