"You say Zuzi poisoned you," Gu Jingyan’s voice was strained, but his eyes were bright and resolute, "I’m sorry, I can’t agree! I’ve never seen her harm anyone. She has always been tirelessly encouraging people to do good. Even when she possesses the unbelievably valuable Miracle Pills, she never profits from them, instead requiring those who do three good deeds a day to ask for medicine. Such a girl, I don’t believe she would poison anyone."
Even though Nangong Meng was accusing Zuzi with her life and an extremely miserable face, he still chose not to believe it.
Nangong Meng was stunned.
Who would have thought that Gu Jingyan, always like a lofty flower, proud and upright, would speak for a murderer! And defend her so relentlessly!
She almost couldn’t catch her breath.
"Mr. Gu, since when have you become so biased, unable to distinguish right from wrong? Are you going to condone Zuzi’s misdeeds , aren’t you afraid her reputation as a wicked girl will spread to the high society circles of the Imperial City, making everyone hate her, and she’ll never fit into that circle for her whole life..." she mumbled.
Her fourth uncle was busy with other matters and had no time for her; now Gu was her only hope to stand up for her.
Gu Jingyan glanced at her coldly, his lips slowly moved with a hint of chill: "Lady Nangong, I hope you understand, Zuzi is my sister. I don’t like hearing anyone smearing her name or speaking ill of her. Today, I’ll pretend what you said was just nonsense, said and forgotten. But if I find out you’re spreading rumors, I won’t be polite!"
Although he doesn’t usually involve himself in petty matters, it doesn’t mean he won’t stick up for his family!
Nangong Meng was at a loss for words, her already weak body feeling even more powerless.
Gu Jingyan left the ward, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Fang Yumei rushing over.
He didn’t greet her, coldly brushing past her.
Fang Yumei disgruntledly said to Nangong Meng, "That Mr. Gu is getting ruder and ruder; what were you arguing about, I heard his loud voice in the hallway just now."
"Even now, he’s protecting that wicked girl Zuzi!"
"Miss Meng, why don’t we call the police and have her arrested, just in time for her to miss the college entrance exam."
"Nonsense, I wish I could, but the police don’t take it seriously, which is why I wanted Mr. Gu to teach her a lesson..." Nangong Meng was filled with anger.
Originally, it should have been Zuzi who was in a miserable state due to the spell, but now it’s shifted to her. She knew it well, but lacked concrete evidence.
Fang Yumei tried hard to please her and suddenly thought of the talisman paper given by the Fourth Master: "Miss Meng, don’t worry. Even if she takes the college entrance exam, it won’t matter. I just got an incredible treasure that not only ensures our Nanshan Class’s top student will take first place in the whole school, but also push Zuzi’s score to the bottom!"
"Such a treasure exists?"
"This is a ’Sure Pass Exam’ talisman. They say that carrying it guarantees success in exams. The key point is that in the same exam room, all the good fortune will be concentrated on the person with the talisman paper, causing others in the room to be unlucky. This talisman paper is a double-edged sword."
"What good is that? During the college entrance exam, there’s no way anyone from Nanshan Class will be in the same room as East Sea Class!"
"There is, Miss Meng. Wang Xin just transferred to our class in the last few days, and his student ID number is from Class 2, which happens to be assigned to the same exam room as East Sea Class. What do you think would happen if I sold the ’Sure Pass Exam’ talisman to Wang Xin?"
Nangong Meng finally found a way to vent: "Haha, then not only Zuzi, but that whole trash group from East Sea Class, won’t be able to get into college."
She just lay in bed waiting for this moment to come true!
