Her silky long hair fell to the side, and her crisp voice exploded.
The scene was deathly silent. Everyone seemed to have their acupoints pressed as they stared at her without moving.
After a while, the master of Dongyi Academy suddenly came back to his senses. He shook his head fiercely and pointed at Gu Yundong. “You, you’re a woman?”
“Why? Not only are you blind, but your eyeballs are also gone, right?”
The student behind the master couldn’t help but exclaim, “If she’s a woman, why is she disguised as a man?”
“Because I’m happy to. It’s none of your business!!” Gu Yundong glanced at him and snorted.
The master was so angry that he almost fell backward. His entire face was red with anger. “How unbecoming. It’s simply unbecoming. Not only is she disguised as a man, but she also curses. It’s simply insulting to the refined.”
“Refined my ass.” Gu Yundong took two steps forward and approached the teacher. She sneered.
“You’re a teacher of Dongyi Academy. Instead of educating people, you brought students to find trouble with us. Why don’t you say that it’s insulting?”
“Why don’t you say that it’s insulting to be polite when you say that you don’t want to lower yourself to the level of a woman while saying evil words in front of other people’s children?”
“This madam said that her husband is not at home, but you didn’t believe her. Why do you have to cause a commotion on the streets and block traffic to affect others? Why don’t you say that it’s insulting?”
Gu Yundong kept approaching. Her voice was crisp and sharp, making the teacher and the students unable to resist. They could only stare and retreat.
“You say that you’re a scholar, and yet you caused Mrs. Qin to almost fall, but you didn’t even apologize. Instead, you pointed at me and criticized me for helping her. Have you read all your books? A person like you who doesn’t respect others and doesn’t know etiquette isn’t called a scholar. You should be called a refined scumbag!!”
“You…” The master could not even speak after being scolded.
“What did I say? Did I say something wrong? Even I know that when scholars visit, they should first send a visitation card and arrange a time and place before sitting down to talk about the past and the present. They should not bring a few students to the door of someone’s house aggressively and talk nonsense to the old, weak, women, and children. What’s the difference between you and a street shrew?!”
This time, not only the teacher, but even the students’ faces flashed with embarrassment and hatred.
Gu Yundong raised her chin slightly and sneered. “With your manners and upbringing, you’ve disgraced the Dongyi Academy and the scholars!!”
“You, you…” A student flew into a rage out of humiliation. After holding it in for a long time, he suddenly said, “Nonsense. Indeed, only women and villains are difficult to take care of.”
The master nodded vigorously. “You’re right. The ancients were right. Only women and villains are difficult to take care of.”
Gu Yundong suddenly scolded, “Hey, you unfilial sons!!”
The few of them were stunned and did not understand. “How are we unfilial?”
“Your mothers aren’t women? You actually said that she’s difficult to raise. You don’t want to support her, right? If this isn’t unfilial, what is?”
The few of them blushed. The teacher’s heart ached. He pointed at Gu Yundong. “You’re being unreasonable.”
“I’ll speak the truth! If you can’t win, shut your mouth. What a disgrace.” Gu Yundong slapped his hand away.
The master’s face gradually contorted. Suddenly, he felt his vision turn black and his entire body fell backward.
“Master, Master.” The three students were shocked. They hurriedly supported him and glared at Gu Yundong before running away..
