Xia Yayun had ink on her lips too, as she had swallowed some of it from screaming earlier. She was spitting it out at the moment.
“The teacher is here!” yelled someone.
In a blink of an eye, everyone returned to their seats.
Xia Yayun covered her face and cried.
Xie Qiao frowned when she saw that. She thought to herself and shut her eyes. She had tears falling too. She covered her chest and was so upset that she could not speak.
Xia Yayun was even more pissed now upon seeing her like that. She pointed at her and scolded, “She’s just pretending! Sir, please do me justice! It was her who bullied me. Look at my face and clothes, sir!”
Master Lu heard devastating wailing as soon as he stepped into the door and was almost scared out of his wits.
Xie Qiao’s face was pale, and she was pouring tears. She pointed at Xia Yayun, and her hand trembled. She looked like she was wronged and could not speak.
Everyone was dumbstruck upon seeing Xie Qiao like that.
‘What’s that?
‘She was fierce earlier, and now she’s crying so… convincingly?
‘Her acting skill is amazing!’
One must say that everyone thought Xie Qiao’s cry was too convincing. She had tears on her face, while her eyes looked determined and tough. If they had not seen what had happened earlier, they would really think that she was the one who was being bullied!
At that moment, everyone felt a chill coursing down their spines.
“What happened?” Master Lu felt very helpless.
“It was her! She splashed all of the ink on the inkstone on me! Sir, Xie Qiao has crossed the line. How could she do that!?” Xia Yayun was emotional.
Xie Qiao pursed her lips as she held her head low. “Sir… Just punish me, for it was me who did it.”
Master Lu sighed. “Why did you do that?”
“Young Lady Xia humiliated my brother. Although he’s terrible, he has never done whatever she said. How can I allow him to be accused? I’m not as eloquent as Young Lady Xia, I wasn’t sure how to fight back, so I did that out of panic,” Xie Qiao said like a goody-goody.
“Tell me what happened.” Master Lu did not believe in Xie Qiao’s one-sided story, so he asked the rest.
The students were in a daze.
The reason being, it was indeed Xia Yayun who had stirred the trouble.
Moreover, it was them who had been unreasonable. Xie Qiao had already been upset when Xia Yayun triggered her, and she did what she did…
However, Xie Qiao had not been as wronged and pitiful earlier… They had to be honest about her reaction.
Thus, they told the truth. Naturally, it included Xie Qiao calling Xia Yayun disgusting.
Master Lu glanced at Xie Qiao in shock.
Xie Qiao held her head high while her eyes looked away.
“A gentleman uses his tongue, not his fists. Don’t you dare think that you can be rude just because you guys are ladies!” Master Lu scolded fiercely, “Even if you were to criticize, have mercy. One spewed nonsense, and one was rude. Both of you should be punished! The punishment will be cleaning the stable in the afternoon!”
‘Why!?’
Xia Yayun looked unwilling as she stared with her widened eyes.
It was a different story for Xie Qiao. She looked obedient as she nodded. “Thank you, Master Lu, for the lesson. I admit my fault.”
The students could not help but jolt.
Xie Qiao could really hold back… It was rather scary…
Xia Yayun almost cried through the entire morning class. Xie Qiao, on the other hand, remained unchanged. She was as calm as a mountain. She even took the initiative to answer the teacher’s question twice. It seemed like nothing had happened to her.
The more she behaved like that, the more the students were panicking.
They suddenly felt as if they had offended a ruthless person!
