I am the stepmother of my son, and the little villain has changed into a little cotton-padded jacket

With Liu Yi's identification, the truth became clear.

Zhao Sixian no longer cared about fairness. He immediately frowned and looked at Shi Cheng and the third aunt with a stern tone.

"What else do you have to say?"

Shi Cheng hesitated for a long time and could not come up with any excuses. The Third Aunt also twisted the handkerchief in her hand and stopped talking. She just looked at Wen Shutang with a look of strong resentment in her eyes.

Zhao Sixian had long been fed up with the arrogance of the mother and son. If Shi Yuanwai had not come to Mingde Academy several times to plead for him, he would never have accepted Shi Cheng, such a naughty child.

He gave Shi Yuanwai enough face, but he absolutely could not tolerate his son's failure to live up to his expectations and doing such despicable things.

Zhao Sixian slammed the table and said sternly, "Shi Cheng, you have bad conduct and have done immoral things such as plagiarism and bullying classmates. I have decided to expel Shi Cheng from the academy and never allow him to set foot in Mingde Academy again!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Cheng's face turned pale and he immediately looked at the Third Aunt in panic, hoping that she could have a solution.

But the Third Aunt is in a difficult situation now. In order to get Shi Cheng to come to Mingde Academy, she begged the master for a long time, but now she was sent back home. If the master knew about this, he would beat her to death.

Thinking of this, a trace of panic flashed across the Third Aunt's face, and then she pretended to be calm and looked at Zhao Sixian, forcing a smile, trying to plead for Shi Cheng.

"My child is also a first-time offender. Can you forgive him this time because it is Cheng'er's first offense? I'm sure my master will be grateful for your kindness."

The third concubine even directly brought up Mr. Shi in an attempt to make Zhao Sixian change her mind, because in her opinion, a scholar like Zhao Sixian should be given some face for the sake of the master, right?

But Zhao Sixian was a stubborn person, and with his status and reputation, he never took the small Shi family seriously. He agreed to let Shi Cheng take him in because he wanted to teach every child, not because he was a wealthy family.

Zhao Sixian frowned and said in a cold voice, "It's fine if he's just a first-time plagiarist, but he bullies his classmates and looks down on children from poor families. People with bad behavior will never stay in Mingde Academy. And I'll find someone to talk to Master Shi about it."

After hearing what Zhao Sixian said, Third Aunt's face changed completely. She knew that there was no turning back in this matter.

She gritted her teeth and didn't dare to vent her anger on Zhao Sixian. She could only look at Wen Shutang's family viciously.

If it weren't for this group of poor people, how could her Cheng'er be driven back home by the teacher? So it's all their fault!

The third aunt turned her head and looked at Liu Yi who was standing beside her, her eyes becoming even colder.

It's also the fault of this nosy little bastard. If he hadn't suddenly jumped out and pointed out Cheng'er, how could this matter have been concluded so easily.

Some people are like this, even though it is clearly their own fault, they insist on blaming others with all kinds of excuses.

Some people are born bad.

Wen Shutang noticed the Third Aunt's cold gaze, followed her line of sight and looked at Liu Yi, his heart moving slightly.

This child is sensible and knows what is right and wrong. As for the Third Aunt, who has evil intentions, she might find someone to harm Liu Yi or his family after she gets out.

Thinking of this, Wen Shutang raised his eyelids and looked at the Third Aunt, sneering: "Evildoers will be punished by God. You probably didn't expect that there would be students who would stand up and point fingers. As the saying goes, those who do evil will eventually perish."

Then she lowered her voice, turned to Liu Yi and said, "Your name is Liu Yi, right? Thank you for standing up to help Aze prove his innocence. If someone causes trouble for you in the future, you can just go to the Master or ask us for help. Don't be afraid of threats."

Liu Yi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Wen Shutang to say this to him. He had just decided to stand up and make the accusation, and was still wondering whether he would be retaliated by Shi Cheng afterwards.

Knowing that Wen Shutang was protecting him, he nodded gratefully: "Yes! I understand."

After hearing Wen Shutang's words, Zhao Sixian also thought of this problem, and immediately said in a loud voice: "Liu Yi has a good character and is worthy of being my disciple. If he is hurt in the future, I will definitely investigate it to the end and will never let him off easily."

These words were obviously said to the Third Aunt and Shi Cheng, just to tell them that he, Zhao Sixian, cared very much about the child Liu Yi, and would definitely pursue the matter to the end if he was injured.

Zhao Sixian was a famous scholar in the town, with a high status and reputation. Most people would never provoke such a scholar. So this also directly protected Liu Yi.

When the Third Aunt heard this, she almost bit her back teeth. Her plan of revenge was disrupted, so she could only leave with Shi Cheng in disappointment, and before leaving, she did not forget to say harsh words to Wen Shutang.

"Wen Shutang, right? I'll remember you. You dare to bully my precious son? Just wait, I won't let you off easily!"

After saying this, he took Shi Cheng and left Mingde Academy.

This incident ended with Third Aunt and Shi Cheng fleeing in panic. Zhao Sixian was very satisfied with this, but he felt a little sorry for children like Xiao Ze and Liu Yi who had been bullied for a long time. As a teacher, he felt very sorry for not discovering these things earlier.

"If you are bullied in the future, you must tell me and I will definitely stand up for you. No matter who you are or what the reason is, you are not allowed to bully your classmates. You must respect your teachers and friends. Do you understand?"

All the students nodded and responded in unison: "Disciple understands, thank you for your teachings, Master!"

Seeing this, Zhao Sixian nodded with relief, then looked at Liu Yi and said gently, "Don't be afraid, kid. If someone threatens you because of this, just tell me and I will take care of it for you."

Liu Yi nodded gratefully, bowed and said, "Yes, thank you, Master."

Zhao Sixian waved his hand, indicating that other students could go back to study.

After everyone left, Zhao Sixian sighed, "I never thought that Shi Cheng would become so crooked."

He is a teacher, so naturally he has high hopes for every child to succeed. Although he does not expect everyone to pass the imperial examinations, he hopes that everyone can become an upright and honest person.

Now seeing Shi Cheng being raised like this, he felt an indescribable pain in his heart.

Wen Shutang looked at Zhao Sixian's emotional expression and said silently in his heart that he was a good teacher.

"Master, please don't blame yourself. It's not because of you that the child became like this. In such a family environment, it is difficult for the child not to be affected. Thank you very much for this matter, Master. If it weren't for your fairness and strictness, Aze would not have been able to clear his suspicion in a short time." She thanked Zhao Sixian respectfully.
