Perhaps Ye Zhizhi's disappointment and helplessness were too clear.

The unspeakable despicableness in Xiao Xingzhi's heart dissipated, leaving only unspeakable shame.

"I didn't mean that... I just," Xiao Xingzhi didn't know what to say. He knew that his stepmother was good to him.

It was not that he was not untouched, and his words about buying her a house in the future were not as false as before.

But the future and the sudden slander made him feel depressed and he often couldn't control his emotions.

"I'm sorry, mother, I know I was wrong."

"Of course you are wrong. I don't know if your father was following you before I got married, solving your mess for you. You have talent and learning, and I cherish your talent and learning, but I hope you understand that I am no better than you. You’re six years older.”

, in modern times, it would have been a baby of about four hundred months old.

Ye Zhizhi sighed, "Before I got married, and even now, my brother's parents still treat me as a child. You can't expect me to accommodate you in everything. I am also a human being, and I will be tired."

"Everyone in the village laughs at me. I feel so alienated from my heart. If I don't remarry quickly and have a child of my own, I will raise you instead. I will regret it when I get old. No one will collect my body."

At this point, her eyes were a little red, and she patted Xiao Xingzhi's shoulder earnestly and said,

"But I thought, how could I? I've been good to you, and I didn't expect you to give me anything in return. Just when I get old, you can bring your children to the village to see me, and just call me mother."

So all the hard work I have done today, including waking up early and working late at night, the blisters on my hands, the rough skin, and the sadness of being looked down upon by others, are not in vain.

You...well, forget it, I won't say it anymore. You have read more books than me, and you will have a longer journey than me in the future. You don't discipline your children. You know the truth. A mother just wants her son to be better. The better come. "

After she finished speaking, she pinched her thigh, and her emotional tears fell down drop by drop. She wiped them carelessly, waved her hand, and turned around to leave.

Perhaps the two days of running around had left her exhausted. After taking a few steps, Ye Zhizhi's eyesight went dark and she stumbled. She finally managed to stand firm, and her originally brisk steps like a young girl also faltered.

Xiao Xingzhi felt his heart tremble violently. He subconsciously reached out to help her and called her mother, but he stood there helplessly.

Looking at her thin figure and heavy steps, Xiao Xingzhi suddenly felt an indescribable guilt.

Ye Zhizhi kept taking ten steps and falling down every once in a while until she ran into the inn room. Then she ran a few steps quickly and threw herself onto the bed, hugging her thighs and rolling back and forth.

“Mad, it hurts, it hurts—!”

It hurts!

As soon as I lifted up my pants, I found a big bruise.

"I'm so sorry, I'm such a troubled old man!"

But this is not important. The bitter meat plan is so real, you must see the effect.

Ye Zhizhi quickly opened the window and saw a remorseful young man not far away on the long street.

He nodded with satisfaction, and then complained crazily, "What's wrong with him? He can't listen to his good words, and he has to watch others cry like a bitch with him. No wonder he and Zhao Zhumei are so inseparable."

man!Looks are all exchanged for IQ!

But since Xiao Xingzhi is following this trick, let’s see how she torments him in the future!

In the afternoon of that day, Xiao Xingzhi went to the Yamen to beat drums and express his grievances.

Although the county town is prosperous, the drum at the entrance of the government office is not often played.

Therefore, as soon as Xiao Xingzhi knocked, many students, women and children came to the long street to watch the excitement, pointing at him.

After hearing the content of Xiao Xingzhi's complaint again, the students suddenly realized:

"Is he the Nine-Night Man?"

"No wonder he can make women fascinated by him. Look at this waist, these legs, and this figure! Especially this face! My parents gave me good looks, and he is the first in the case without any effort!"

"What kind of case is the leader of the case? That's all in the past. He dared to report it to the official after he did such an unethical thing. Just wait and see. If he is not sentenced to ten or eight years and cannot take the scientific examination as an official, he is doing nothing to me. The disrespect of those who study hard in a cold window!"

"..."

"Quiet!" Baili Qingzheng shouted, and said to the government servants on the side, "Ask someone to go to Fenghuang Town to tell Sun Shijie, Yuanbao Town to tell the story of Zhao's mother and daughter, and also, go and ask the dean of Bailu Academy and a few gentlemen. Come."

The students watching the excitement outside were dumbfounded, "Go to White Deer Academy to ask for the dean?"

You know, among the four major academies in Dayong, Bailu Academy ranks second.

The deans of the academy had all worked as editors in the Hanlin Academy and had been personally received by the emperor.

Then he responded to the emperor's edict and came to the academy to become a teacher. From then on, examinations in various states were set by these deans.

Although deans have no official position, those who understand know that their status is no lower than that of Zhizhou.

Ye Zhizhi was sitting in a teahouse not far away drinking tea.

Looking at Xiao Xingzhi who straightened his back, he nodded.

But after a while, the yamen servant next to Baili Qingzheng found her, lowered his head and whispered.

"The dean of White Deer Academy is unwilling? Why?" Ye Zhizhi was a little in disbelief.

"They said they wanted to study what...well, what paintings?" The yamen servant couldn't tell clearly, "In short, they said they have no time to care about you illiterate people."

"They are the test takers. They are the deans assigned by the emperor to be in charge of the four major academies. They don't care about fraud in the scientific examination. What do they care about? Do you understand what it means to eat the emperor's salary and share the emperor's worries?"

Ye Zhizhi had such a bad temper, "Take me to find someone."

*

At the same time, inside the White Deer Academy.

Dean Qi and others were sitting together, looking at a man.

To be more precise, it was a man in the portrait.

Each of them took a charcoal pencil and wrote and drew on the paper for a long time.

The vice president looked at Dean Qi's portrait and praised, "You have improved a lot in portrait painting."

"That's not right." Dean Qi shook his head, tore off the painting, balled it up and threw it out, "My painting was too..."

He didn't know how to describe plane and solid.

The portrait of this great painter looks as if the person is locked in the paper.

And the portraits he painted are simply...

Not to mention.

"I still haven't found the key point. I'll try again! You should also discuss it more!"

"By the way, do we really not care about the Yamen's affairs?"

"He is easy to take care of. If he can stumble on women, it shows that he is not dedicated to learning."

*

Ye Zhizhi was stopped by a boy from White Deer Academy.

"Women are not allowed to set foot in the important place of the academy."

Ye Zhizhi had such a bad temper that he let out a "tsk" sound and raised his little hands as a big request with his hands clasped together, "Little brother, it's really urgent. Can you please pass it on?"

She definitely can't hit people or make trouble, she's not a shrew.

Besides, the servants are also dedicated to their duties. In this era, many places are taboo against women.

The boy also wanted to communicate, but he really couldn't break the rules.

As they watched the two arguing, a cold voice sounded from behind, "She came with me."

Ye Zhizhi turned around and saw the masked man he saw this morning.

The other party changed into a black long gown with a stand-up collar and a jade plaque with the word "scape" hanging on his waist.
