Dean Meng was too angry to say anything, and he was used to being respected all the time. He had to vent his anger when his favorite orchids were broken. He just could not hold the anger to make himself feel worse
That was why Shao Yunduan did not want to continue facing the wrath and chose to go home.
He could still study at home.
Ms. Fang and the other members of the family became irritated. They could not blame Dean Meng but they were all thinking the same thing inside their hearts.
They were quite disappointed as well. Wasn't Dean Meng supposed to be a knowledgeable scholar? How could he behave so unfairly?
Shao Liulang did not believe what Qiao Xuan said. "If it had not been Cousin's fault, why didn't he defend himself? Didn't he feel unhappy? Dean Meng is not a confused man!"
Qiao Xuan was surprised. "Dean Meng is never confused. He loves the orchids and he was very angry. Also, didn't I just say that my husband did not defend himself because he did not want to make Dean Meng feel even worse. Otherwise, those three students would have insisted on the conviction and made excuses. Would you take responsibility if Dean Meng got annoyed?" "Those students already admitted that they broke the orchids, and they set up my husband because they were jealous of him. My husband had an alibi, clear and straightforward, everyone from the college knows about this, but only you have no idea what is going on."
"Cousin, you have been reading for years, but you still don't know that you should look into the case first before spreading the story!'
Ms. Fang got annoyed and snapped at Shao Liulang. "You ruthless man! How dare you come to us and talk about this? But for Ms. Qiao, we would all have been scammed by you! I am warning you, you should not think about spreading the rumor in the village! Otherwise I will give you a hard time during the New Year!"
"You better pass on the warning to your mother too!"
Shao Liulang shivered out of anger, but he looked very guilty.
Shao Dalang, who had always had a good temper, was not pleased either. "Cousin, it is your fault. You should have looked into the matter first before telling us about it. You just frightened us!"
Eldest Uncle sighed annoyedly too. "Liulang, you… don't do this any more! Dalang is right, you should talk about something only after you look into the matter!"
Qiao Xuan chuckled. "I have noticed that you have been at home after the college examination, and you have not been to the college for a long time. You must have lost the method of looking into the news. It is soon going to be the New Year. Are you going to college or not after that? What about going there after the spring plow next year? You need to do some labor for your home since you are not promising enough to have a future in studies, right? You can't just not do anything, right?"
Shao Liulang got both annoyed and embarrassed. "What do you mean?
He was too guilty to go to the college again after he failed the college examination. He had been hiding at home, claiming that he was exhausted. So, he needed to stay at home and rest.
Qiao Xuan did not like to reveal people's drawbacks. But she wished to reveal Shao Liulang's shortcomings at this moment.
She was very willing to do so.
"Cousin, you are a scholar.. How can you fail to notice my meaning? I am being kind-hearted!"
