Cultivating Immortality Begins with Selling Oneself

Chapter 21 Unjustly Accused
"Let's have a drink!"

Shen Mengwu felt her heart surge, holding the wine jug in her hand, and the scene in the storybook where chivalrous knights gathered in the inn to drink suddenly appeared in her mind.

Apart from not being able to leave home, Shen Mengwu feels that she is now a female knight.

Shen Fuyu's face turned dark. Shen Mengwu was only 9 years old!

Just one year older than her!!

Still thinking about drinking?!

Shen Fuyu snatched the wine pot and said, "If Second Miss doesn't want me to go to school, just drink."

The tone was full of threats, but Shen Mengwu fell for Shen Fuyu's tricks and sat aside eating her meal in a huff.

The favorability indicator above his head turned red, he was really angry now.

Shen Fuyu raised his eyes and didn't care.

I taught the second young lady a lot of knowledge for an entire afternoon.

The favorability has been hovering between red and green.

This scene naturally did not escape Mrs. Shen's eyes.

Mrs. Shen was deeply moved when she saw her eldest daughter was more outgoing than usual.

The eldest daughter has become less talkative since the accident, and coupled with the subtle ridicule from others, she has become even more distant.

If not...

Mrs. Shen wanted to give up the idea of ​​letting her eldest daughter pursue a career in politics.

However, the family situation is really difficult and we need someone to support the family.

"Madam, you have good taste in buying Shen Fuyu."

"Ah."

……

three days later.

Shen Fuyu followed Shen Mengning to school.

Shen Mengwu, who has always been extremely resistant to going to school, also followed closely behind.

"Awu, you've been so good lately." Mrs. Shen couldn't help but smile. She took out a bag of silver from her pocket and put it in Shen Mengwu's hand. "This is a reward for you."

Shen Mengwu's eyes lit up. That was great. She wanted to buy a new whip, but she didn't have enough money.

"Thank you, mother."

Unexpectedly, before Shen Mengwu could be happy for too long, Mrs. Shen took the silver from her and handed it to Shen Fuyu.

"Give your name to Shen Fuyu for safekeeping. Ah Wu, you are too young and your mother is afraid that you will be deceived." Mrs. Shen remained calm.

Shen Mengwu was speechless as she looked at Shen Fuyu, then at Madam Shen, and sat in the carriage angrily.

"Mother is really too much. Shen Fuyu is obviously one year younger than me, but she actually lets her manage my money."

"Ah Wu, dear, your mother has already bought the whip you wanted. As long as you behave well and let Shen Fuyu praise you, the whip will be sent to your room."

Shen Mengwu was finally coaxed.

Shen Fuyu lowered his head to hide the envy in his eyes. In his previous life, Shen Fuyu was an orphan and was able to finish college thanks to the help of kind-hearted people.

I have never experienced motherly care.

……

School.

Shen Fuyu took Shen Mengning's hand and got out of the carriage.

Shen Mengwu followed behind him, jumping and skipping.

As a servant, Shen Fuyu should sit next to Shen Mengning, so why is Shen Mengwu sitting in the back?

Soon, the teacher came in from outside with a stack of test questions in his hand.

The teacher's face was very long. "I have explained all the exam questions. They are also the exam questions from last year."

"If you had put in a little more effort, you wouldn't have answered like this." "If you don't want to study, just go home and stop wasting your time here. There are so many people out there who want to attend my classes but can't even get in line, and you're taking up prime resources and wasting them?!"

The students in the full school didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of being noticed by the teacher.

"Shen Mengwu!"

"Here!" Shen Mengwu, who was dozing off, was startled and stood up immediately.

Master Shangguan laughed in anger and threw Shen Mengwu's test paper on the ground. "If you don't want to learn, go home. What's the point of drawing on the test paper?"

"You're mocking me and insulting me!"

Master Shangguan spoke in a very serious tone, and it was obvious that he was very angry.

"I do not have."

Shen Mengwu felt very aggrieved. She would never draw on the test paper.

She couldn't write anything randomly, but scribbling on it would be disrespectful to the teacher, so she wouldn't do such a thing.

"You didn't? You're such a liar! Could it be that someone else drew on your test paper?"

"Isn't it ridiculous? Besides you and me, who else could have touched the test paper? Or do you doubt me?"

Master Shangguan spoke a lot, leaving Shen Mengwu no chance to speak.

Shen Mengwu stood there stubbornly, tears welling up in her eyes. "Master, you can't slander me without knowing right from wrong. I will never admit to anything I didn't do."

"Ha!" Master Shangguan sneered, "I don't welcome students like you who are unrepentant and always teasing others. Leave the school immediately."

Master Shangguan was extremely knowledgeable and would produce a top scholar every three years. Therefore, his school was very popular and many dignitaries liked to send their children to Master Shangguan's school.

The confidence brought by his talent made Master Shangguan not afraid of power at all.

More importantly, Master Shangguan has many students all over the world, and half of the people in the court are his students.

"Leave if you want to. I don't want a teacher who won't listen to explanations, and you don't deserve such high praise."

As she spoke, Shen Mengwu raised her foot, kicked the table and was about to leave.

Shen Fuyu quickly grabbed her and kicked the table back with his other foot. He pulled it to the limit without making any noise and preventing the situation from getting worse.

Shen Fuyu shook his head at Shen Mengwu and said silently: "Second Miss, I believe you."

"Be good, don't worry, let me handle it."

After just three days of getting along, Shen Fuyu had a pretty good idea of ​​Shen Mengwu's personality.

Eat soft not hard.

Under Shen Fuyu's firm gaze, Shen Mengwu stayed for some unknown reason.

Shen Mengning also stood up, her delicate oval face flushed red as she softly but firmly retorted, "Awu won't do that."

Seeing that her sister also believed her, Shen Mengwu's anger after being scolded disappeared. She didn't care about others.

"Master, please calm down first." Shen Fu said calmly, "When a criminal is brought to the government, he must seek justice. You can't just convict Ah Wu directly, right?"

Before Master Shangguan could speak, the girl in the pink dress sitting to the upper right of Shen Mengwu stood up.

The girl had a very childish face and her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, making her look extremely pitiful.

Even though it has not yet fully grown, its grace can already be seen.

"Master, Ah Wu has a bad temper. As a good friend, I apologize to you on her behalf."

"I hope Master won't be angry and give Wu another chance."

The girl bowed and looked extremely guilty. If someone didn't know better, they would think she had made a mistake.

"Awu, just apologize." The girl's eyes fell on Shen Mengwu, with a hint of accusation and disagreement, "Master Shangguan has always treated us wholeheartedly and generously, and has never been stingy with his knowledge. We should be grateful."

"Master Shangguan is doing this for our own good. It's wrong to scribble on the test paper."

"Awu, Master Shangguan may be tough on the outside but soft on the inside. I believe that as long as you apologize and we plead for mercy, Master Shangguan will definitely be willing to give you a chance."

In just a few words, the blame was put on Shen Mengwu.
