Chapter 185 Regret
Not long after, Mr. Zhang from the rice noodle shop entered the house, followed by a young man who looked to be a scholar from Sandalwood Academy.
Pei Yi's complexion moved slightly, and she said in her heart: Come on, it's another one who came to look for bad luck.
Who would have thought that as soon as Mr. Zhang lifted his clothes, he fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, slapped himself, and cried and said: "Mr. Pei, I am ignorant. It is my wicked son who broke the bet and offended you. I even threatened the academy to expel you."
"I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, I'm not worthy of being a human being! Third master, I have already explained to the academy that I wronged you! You are the number one in the county in this mock exam, and you are the most promising scholar of Sandalwood Academy. You should be fired!"
The young man is Zhang Liulang.
At this moment, he is also like his father, Master Zhang, kneeling on the ground while apologizing and slapping himself.
No way, he was too scared.
Overnight, most of the Zhang family's business was lost, and the original business partners who had negotiated suddenly quit.
If this continues, the Zhang family may collapse completely.
Zhang Liulang doesn't even dare to hate Pei Yi now.
Only deep fear remained in his heart.
"Mr. Pei, it's because I have blind eyes! I'm a villain - I lost the bet, but I still instigated my classmates to criticize the third master! Damn me, I'm not human!"
Zhang Liulang burst into tears, and each slap firmly slapped his face. It didn't take long for his face to become red and swollen.
Pei Yi was unexpected.
To be honest, just hearing the crisp sound of the father and son slapping each other in this family, she felt a vague pain in her face.
Pei Xuanting sneered, and teased: "Now that you know how to beg for mercy, what did you do before? Don't you guys ask about the identity of the other party before you provoke them?"
Master Zhang’s expression turned ashen when he heard this, and he confessed his mistake in tears to Pei Xuanting: “The little one knows his mistake! The little one offends the third master with blind eyes, and I hope the second and third masters forgive me!”
Pei Xuanting snorted coldly, and said lightly: "Go and kneel in the corner of the room, don't get in the middle of the room."
Both father and son of the Zhang family didn't dare to get up, and knelt all the way to the corner with their knees.
As soon as they arrived at the corner, several masters brought their scholar sons to apologize one after another.
"Third Master, we know we were wrong! Please forgive us!"
"We have already explained the matter of the academy!"
"Thousands of mistakes are our fault!"
"Third Master, you are the reincarnation of Wenquxing. It is a blessing for Sandalwood Academy to have someone like you! To have a classmate like you is a blessing he has cultivated for 800 years."
…
Pei Yi listened to these fake begging words, her face was indifferent.
This group of people, when they bully others, they are superior, wishing they could trample others under their feet, and once they make a move, they will directly cut off their future, and they will ruin a person's life casually.
Now that I have something to do with myself, I just cry and beg for mercy, and I don’t want any face. Sure enough, all the characters who can make a bright figure are so shameless?
Pei Xuanting looked at his sister's expression, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "If Sanskrit doesn't want to accept their apology, he can just send them away. Why bother to see them crying here, it doesn't make people feel bad."
He didn't deliberately lower his voice to speak, and everyone in the room heard his words clearly.
Masters and young masters are all terrified.
Where is the arrogance that bullied Pei Yi that day, kowtowing like garlic, begging the Pei family for forgiveness tearfully.
Pei Yi said coldly: "What are you guys doing? I, Pei Yi, am not an unreasonable person. Since you all know that you did not abide by the bet that day, if you sincerely apologize today, should you fulfill the bet?"
Third Master is supporting him.
Even in today's situation, the third master always remembers to rectify his name.
Qisha felt an unspeakable emotion in his heart.
A group of scholars didn't dare to challenge the board, and they rushed to apologize first.
"Mr. Qilang, I was the one who slandered you back then and slandered you. Your lord has a lot, so don't compare yourself to a villain like me!"
"Mr. Qilang, the villain has no eyes and no eyes to slander you! The villain regrets it! The prime minister of Qilang can hold a boat in his belly, so let the villain be spared!"
…
All the scholars apologized and slapped themselves.
Some clever ones quickly shouted: "I came here in a hurry today, and I didn't have time to write an apology letter to Mr. Qilang. When I go back today, the villain will definitely write the apology letter!"
According to the bet, if Pei Yi wins, a group of their classmates will not only slap themselves and apologize, but also write a letter of apology.
Qisha stood up straight, looked down at the group of people kneeling on the ground with cold eyes, pursed his lips and did not answer.
He didn't want to talk to this group of people who were outdone, and this wasn't the time for him to answer.
Second Master and Third Master are both present, so how can it be his turn to speak as a guard?
"Then go back and write." Pei Yi said lightly.
The scholars were all stunned.
The masters were quick to respond, and said gratefully: "Thank you, San Ye, for your kindness! I will take the dog back to my house to write a letter of apology, and I will personally deliver the letter to your house later."
Pei Yi gave an indifferent "hmm", obviously annoyed by looking at them more than once.
Masters hurried away with their sons timidly.
Not long after they left, the Academy came again.
Principal Jia and all the wives came to visit in person, with a very earnest attitude.
"Mr. Pei Lang, Lieutenant Sun and the others have already explained to me what happened that day. You are innocent. This incident was originally caused by other scholars' failure to keep the agreement. You can't be blamed."
"Previously, Lieutenant Sun, Master Li, and Master Zhang all forced the academy to give an explanation, and the academy pretended to let Pei Langjun drop out of school because there was no other way."
"Now that the truth is revealed, the punishment of expulsion from school will naturally be cancelled. Mr. Pei Lang will go to school as usual in the future. Before the academy persuaded you to drop out of school because of helplessness, please don't get angry with the academy."
Dean Jia saluted and apologized while saying this.
The masters also spoke soft words one after another, and their attitudes were very fawning.
Pei Yi squinted at the group of people, and said with a fake smile: "That day, it was the fathers of the students in the third class who asked the school to deal with me."
"The academy had no choice but to expel me, and I understand."
"However, I am naturally loose."
"A place like the academy is not suitable for me."
"I am very grateful to the college for rescinding my expulsion."
"But I plan to drop out of the academy on my own."
Pei Yi spoke loudly.
She knew very well in her heart that this group of masters just wanted her to get good grades in the scientific examination to bring glory to the college.
