Chapter 511: Such a grand display for what?

to a nearby teahouse and quickly offered him tea and refreshments.Someone couldn't wait to ask: "Doctor Sun, what's going on with the royal family It sounds like they blame you for not curing the ill...Li Lao Tai knew the children were scared, and she felt a pang of sympathy. But she still said, “You are all grown up now. Think carefully about today’s events. No matter who you interact with in the future, be more vigilant. Our family can protect you for a while, but not for your whole lives. Understand”

Several young boys nodded their heads. Jiaxi, taking the lead, said to his grandmother, "Grandma, don't worry, we understand."

Li Laotai patted her grandsons' backs and then called to her granddaughter, "First, find some snacks or food for your brothers to tide them over. Dinner will be a while yet!"

"Okay, Grandma," Jia Yin smiled and nodded, then beckoned her brothers, "Come on, guys, let's go back to the room, there's something good to eat!"

She waved her chubby little hands, looking like a social bigwig, and strode into the house with small legs leading the way.

Before a few others could follow, the three little foxes had already dashed inside.

"Oh no, San is about to cheat! Let's get out of here!"

"Just now, it even stole my fruit!"

The boys chased after the little fox, shouting and laughing as they ran. The yard came alive with activity again.

Old Lady Li let out a long sigh of relief. Seeing her granddaughter-in-law emerge from the kitchen, she instructed: "Tell Shui Ling to go to the dining hall and ask Hong Ying to prepare some good dishes. They'll be sent to Dr. Zhou's house in a while. Your uncle and the others are likely to talk late into the night and will have dinner there!"

"With so many people suddenly arriving, it's difficult to prepare meals. Don't make Madam Zhou uncomfortable. We can just manage with simple dishes since our family runs a canteen."

"Okay, Grandma," Wenjuan replied, turning her head and calling out to the kitchen, "Shuilin, you can go out now."

The Dean usually doesn't teach. With the recent hot weather, he mostly stays home to beat the heat, occasionally tending to his flowers, playing chess with old friends, or sipping tea. It's quite a pleasant life.

At this moment, he was only wearing a singlet. He fanned himself while talking to his elderly wife.

He frowned when he suddenly heard that Li's three brothers, along with Wen Yushi, were coming to pay him a visit.

Mrs. Zhou thought he disliked people disturbing his peace and quiet, so she advised, “The Li family is particularly attentive to etiquette. They even sent over fish and shrimp before.”

"If there's anything you need, just ask. I'll help if I can. Although this family isn't from a wealthy background, they are kind and easy to get along with. They will definitely be reliable in the future."

The Dean waved his hand, ordering the servants to bring the guest's clothes. "It's not as you think," he said. "The Li family came in such a grand manner, there must be something important going on."

Mrs. Zhou was also curious and quickly helped him get dressed, instructing: "If anything happens, send me a message right away. I'll be worried."

"Alright, I understand." Dean Zhou replied, then went to the front.

When meeting face to face, there's always a bit of pleasantries and polite conversation.

"Seeing Jia Ren and Brother Li here, the Dean asked, 'Why haven't these two children gone to eat In half an hour, it will be time for evening classes.'"

Li Lao Er bowed, "Dean, we came uninvited today because there is an important matter to discuss, and it concerns these two children."

"Please ask the Dean to invite Mr. Peng here, and it would be best if a few other respected and impartial gentlemen from the academy could also come to serve as witnesses."

President Zhou took a deep breath, knowing in his heart that his guess was right. Today's matter concerning the Li family would certainly not be trivial.

He didn't ask again, called for his attendants and servants, and gave them a few instructions.

Soon, Mr. Peng and the two old gentlemen arrived.

Mr. Peng was Jiaren's teaching master. The other two elderly gentlemen, one surnamed Cheng, were in charge of the Discipline Hall at the academy. Students who committed major or minor offenses were punished by him.

Another man surnamed Geng was also a recognized Iron-Faced Mr. in the academy, known for his strictness in conduct.

Mr. Peng originally thought that the Li family was visiting the dean and asked him to accompany them, but when he entered the room, he discovered that the atmosphere was off, and he realized that something was amiss.

Mr. Cheng and Mr. Geng were also doubtful, but they didn't ask out loud.

"Director Zhou said, 'Master Li, can you tell us what really happened'"

Li Lao'er stood up, bowed to Mr. Peng, Mr. Cheng, and Mr. Geng, then said: "There has been an incident at my home these past two days. I originally thought it only concerned my child's future, but just now Jia Ren reminded me, I realized that if this matter is not handled properly, it will have a greater impact on the academy."

After saying this, he took his family out shopping. They were tricked by a peddler into buying two wooden amulet plaques. His niece, mischievous as she was, discovered something odd about the plaques. The peddler was actually being directed by the attendant of a classmate of his master. He told them everything in detail.

Li Lao San also took out the two wooden plaques, fiddled with them a couple of times, and opened them. The paper inside was then displayed before everyone.

President Zhou and several gentlemen have dedicated half their lives to the college, teaching and nurturing students with all their heart and soul, striving to send them on the path to success.

For exams big and small, they are intimately familiar with what to avoid.

These two wooden plaques and pieces of paper were, in their eyes, like an earthquake, earth-shattering.

"Master Li... Has this matter been thoroughly investigated"院長下意識不願相信。

To frame fellow students in such a vicious manner, cutting off their paths to academic advancement, and it turns out to be from their own academy!

Mr. Peng, Mr. Cheng, and Mr. Geng were also shocked and angry, but more than that, they simply refused to believe it.

Li Laodui replied: "Gentlemen, our Li family is not so idle that we would falsely accuse two students without reason. As for what really happened, why don't we bring the people involved here and ask them directly Then we can determine the truth."

Both the two students and the boy who was in charge of the meeting were in the academy at this moment.

Mr. Cheng, though in charge of the Discipline Hall, was a tough-talking softie at heart and very protective of the students.

At this point, he said with a cold face: “Master Li, if it is finally discovered that this matter was not done by the students of the academy, and it was a misunderstanding, what will you do”

"As students are still young and will be taking their exams soon, if this were to affect them and delay their future, it wouldn't be something that could be compensated by simply offering an apology!"

Li Lao Er, upon hearing this, didn't get angry. He responded seriously: "If the investigation proves clear and shows that our Li family wrongly accused the two students, I am willing to offer a grand apology and even apologize in front of all the students of the academy, clearing their names."

"If they have any further demands, our Li family will certainly do our best to compensate them. But let me be clear, if the two of them are truly plotting against others and framing their classmates, I hope the academy will handle this impartially!

"

After all, our family has already exposed their plot. They'll simply use some means to place two problematic tokens on two students. Then, they will cause a commotion during the exam. The two students will be guilty, and Luo An Academy will lose face.

"Only because my son, Ren, is devoted to the academy and unwilling to see it disgraced, he earnestly persuaded us to come. I hope the academy will not disappoint us and let down my son!"

Mr. Cheng's face was flushed, and he turned to look at Dean Zhou.

The Dean nodded slowly, assuring the Li family and their companions on behalf of the academy, "Rest assured, we will definitely handle this impartially."n they forget their home after going out!"Jiayi let out a sigh, he didn't think that way at all.Just come back, brothers. Our family can't bear the pain of losing both of you...After a few words, the...
