Zhao Sixian waved his hand, and looked at Wen Shutang with a gentler look: "Madam Wen, please don't thank me. I didn't do anything about this matter."

"Thanks to the teacher for being willing to uphold justice. No matter what, I still have to thank you." Wen Shutang smiled appropriately and with a good balance of tension.

Seeing her polite look, Zhao Sixian liked her more and more, and nodded repeatedly with satisfaction.

"Aze is a good and blessed child, having such sensible parents like you."

"Master, you are too kind. Well, now that the matter has been resolved, we will not disturb you any further." Wen Shutang nodded slightly.

Zhao Sixian nodded: "Okay, you guys go back, there's nothing to do here."

After Wen Shutang and his companions said goodbye to Zhao Sixian, they left the academy. Xiao Ze and Xiao Ye stayed in the academy to receive the teacher's instruction.

The third aunt and Shi Cheng returned to the Shi family. The third aunt had a sullen face and went back to her room and started smashing things like crazy.

"These poor beggars! How dare they bully others like this! Someone, go and call the master over. His precious son has been bullied. Will he do anything about it?"

The maidservant beside her didn't even dare to breathe, and nodded repeatedly after hearing the order.

"Yes, yes, Auntie, don't be angry. I will go and ask the master to come over now."

After the maid finished speaking, she turned around and ran out. After a while, she returned to the room with a bad look on her face.

She knelt down in front of the Third Aunt and said in panic, "Aunt, please calm down. The master is in the First Madam's room right now. I dare not disturb him!"

The Third Aunt was already angry, so she wanted to find Mr. Shi to complain, but she didn't expect that no one would come. She immediately became even angrier and smashed the teacup in her hand directly on the maid's head.

The scalding tea spilled on the maid's face. The little girl wailed in pain, then fell to the ground with her face covered. A large red mark suddenly appeared on her originally beautiful face.

"Someone, take this bitch who can't invite the master out and give her a beating! She's such a loser that she can't even invite the master."

The Third Aunt gave the order coldly, and then several sturdy servants came in from outside and dragged the maid with the burned face out like a dead dog.

When the maid heard that she was going to be beaten with a stick, she didn't even care about the pain on her face and started begging for mercy.

"Aunt, please spare me! I know I was wrong!"

The maid's cries became quieter and quieter, and then there was the muffled sound of a wooden board hitting flesh. Hearing this frightening sound, Third Aunt felt much better.

Then he waved at Shi Cheng and said, "Son, come here. Go to that bitch's yard and cry, saying that someone is bullying you and begging him to help you. I don't believe that the master can still leave his precious son like you alone."

When Shi Cheng heard his mother's order, he hesitated for a moment, nodded, turned around and ran out.

He knelt in front of the lady's door and started crying. Master Shi was disturbed and filled with anger, but when he saw his beloved son kneeling outside the door, he immediately softened his heart.

"Cheng'er, why are you kneeling here? Get up quickly."

Shi Cheng stood up, with a look of grievance on his face, and told Master Shi what happened in the academy today.

But he only talked about the scene where Zhao Sixian drove him out of the academy. When Mr. Shi heard this, he was furious. How could someone dare to bully his son like this? He really didn't take him seriously.

"Too good to see such a thing happen, Cheng'er, don't worry, Dad will definitely take care of it for you. Come on, prepare the car, I need to go to Mingde Academy."

He was usually very respectful to Zhao Sixian, but he never expected that this old man would punish his son so indiscriminately. It was simply lawless.

The servant immediately turned around and went out to prepare the carriage.

The eldest lady also came out of the house and looked at Shi Cheng indifferently, knowing that the child must have come to her door crying and making a fuss because of what the third aunt said.

After all, ever since the Third Aunt had a son, Shi Cheng, she no longer took her, the eldest lady, seriously.

Because of this son, the master was more indulgent towards the third concubine and was not very sad about her as the first wife.

After so many years, the eldest lady has long been accustomed to the practice of favoring the concubine over the wife in this family.

Master Shi followed Shi Cheng to the Third Aunt's room to comfort the concubine. As soon as the Third Aunt saw Master Shi, she started crying and complaining about her grievances.

Master Shi was even more furious. Although he hadn't shown up for a long time, how could someone dare to ignore him?

He immediately took a carriage to Mingde Academy. When the servant at the gate of the academy saw Master Shi coming, he immediately knew that he was not a good person, so he turned around and ran in to inform Zhao Sixian.

Master Shi strode into the academy and walked towards the front hall aggressively: "Mr. Zhao!"

Zhao Sixian was teaching students in the classroom when he was suddenly interrupted by this powerful voice. He felt a little dissatisfied.

"You should familiarize yourself with the contents of the scroll first. I will be back soon."

The students nodded one after another, and after Zhao Sixian left, everyone started discussing who had come.

Xiao Ze frowned slightly as he sat in his seat, knowing that Shi Cheng must have found help. Although he knew that Wen Shutang would definitely have a way to deal with it, he still couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Liu Yi, who was sitting nearby, saw Master Zhao walk out and his face turned pale instantly. He began to worry whether he would be retaliated against. After all, he was a famous wealthy man in the town.

He was just a child from a poor family, how could he withstand the wrath of this rich man?

Zhao Sixian strode towards the front hall. As soon as he entered, he saw Mr. Shi sitting on a stool drinking tea, with Shi Cheng standing next to him.

The moment Shi Cheng saw Zhao Sixian, he still felt a little guilty. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhao Sixian.

"Why is Mr. Shi coming here at this time?"

Master Shi sneered, "Sir, you are so powerful that you have chased my son back home. As a father, I have to stay out of the way, or my son will be bullied to death."

Zhao Sixian frowned, hearing the sarcasm in his words, and immediately his face turned cold: "What does Shi Yuanwai mean by this? Shi Cheng committed a serious mistake, what's wrong with me punishing him? He actually provoked Shi Yuanwai to come to the academy and make a scene."

Master Shi slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table and said coldly, "Big mistake? My son just made a mistake in the exam, but he was slandered by those poor beggars? This is simply a great shame. Can anyone bully my son? Call those beggars over. I want to see who is so powerful."

Zhao Sixian was so angry that his beard was trembling. He didn't expect that the Shi family was so unreasonable. Now even Mr. Shi started to confuse right and wrong.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the servant standing by turned around and left the academy to find Wen Shutang to report the news.
