After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again

There were undercurrents in the army, and the capital was not at peace either.

The academy was filled with the fragrance of books. Students were studying hard, and their pens were rustling on paper.

However, in this peaceful atmosphere, a piece of news was like a stone thrown into the air, causing ripples.

"Have you heard? Shen Rujun is showing off his talent in the academy again." A round-faced student put down his book and said mysteriously to his companions.

"Shen Rujun? He has been very popular recently. This incident hasn't passed yet and this kind of thing has been reported again. It's a bit exaggerated to say that he has extraordinary talents." Another student asked curiously.

"The teacher thinks highly of him and once said that he would pass the imperial examination. Maybe it was because of this reason, plus the rumor that he has a strong background, that he got a little cocky and couldn't wait to show off."

"Oh? Then what did he show off?" the third student asked with interest.

"It is said that he wrote a poem at the academy's poetry gathering two days ago, and he outsold all the other students present with just one poem. His poetic talent and momentum were simply breathtaking!" the round-faced student described vividly.

These words immediately attracted the attention of the students around.

This caused a lot of discussion among the crowd. Some praised Shen Rujun for his talent, while others were dismissive and thought he was just showing off.

"Humph, I think he's just showing off on purpose." A tall student snorted, "He's not even taking the exam yet, but he's already making such a fuss. Wouldn't it be so embarrassing if he fails? Besides, isn't he just trying to steal the limelight by doing this?"

"That's right, who does he think he is?" another student echoed, "We are all scholars who have studied hard, why should we let him step on our heads?"

The voices of discussion, along with the sound of the wind, penetrated the thin paper window and naturally reached the ears of Fang Ru and Shen Rujun.

Since those people went to see Shen Rujun last time, Shen Rujun gave them silver and sent them away.

I thought the matter had ended there, but soon after, rumors started to spread in the academy again. It was obvious that it was the work of those people.

Fang Ru followed behind Shen Rujun and looked at him hesitantly, "Brother Shen, recently there are rumors in the academy that you are more talented than other students. It would be bad if this got out."

Shen Rujun frowned and tightened his hands in his sleeves. He thought that the matter of that day was settled after giving the silver.

Unexpectedly, those few people spread rumors again, and the days that had just been calm for a few days were stirred up again.

Shen Rujun pinched his brows with a headache, his face full of displeasure, "Brother Fang, do you think I am that kind of arrogant person?!"

Fang Ru shook her head: "Brother Shen is a humble person, he would not do such a thing, but who is targeting Brother Shen like this?"

Fang Ru racked his brains but couldn't figure out what was going on.

Could it be that he is jealous of Brother Shen's background and is deliberately using this trick to make things difficult for him?

Fang Ru looked up at Shen Rujun. As long as he asked for help from his wife's family, this matter would be resolved quickly.

"What are you thinking?"

When Shen Rujun turned around, he saw Fang Ru looking at him repeatedly.

"No, it's okay." Fang Ru hurriedly shook his head and said, "Brother Shen, since this is the case, why don't you talk to your family about this?"

Shen Rujun's face darkened. Thinking of Su Ziyou's attitude towards Su Jinhua, if he asked Su Jinhua for help, he would be looked down upon.

He didn't want to see contempt for him on Su Jinhua's face.

Shen Rujun pursed her lips and said, "It's not right, I will take care of it."

"Brother Shen, I'm glad you have a solution. If you need anything, just come to me."

The two people walked one in front and one behind, and the eyes in the academy followed them like a shadow, as if every pair of eyes was glued to them.

"Brother Shen, the teacher invites you." A classmate from the academy stood in front of the two of them, glanced at Shen Rujun and said with a slight bow.

"I understand." Shen Rujun nodded lightly, looking cold.

Then, he strode towards the Master with his hands behind his back.

After Shen Rujun walked away, a look of contempt flashed across the student's face.

"Why are you so arrogant? Do you really think you are the son of a king or a general? You are just a person with a little background backed by your wife's family."

After saying this, he sneered, and his laughter was full of sarcasm.

Fang Ru looked at the man with a slightly gloomy expression.

This person really doesn't know how to live or die. Why doesn't he dare to say such things in front of others? Isn't it because he is afraid of being implicated? He is so hypocritical.

So, when he passed by the man, he raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly without giving him any more glances.

The atmosphere in the study was solemn. The teacher frowned and looked at Shen Rujun. He said in a serious tone, "Rujun, have you offended anyone recently? Why did such a rumor spread?"

Shen Rujun panicked when he heard the teacher's question. He quickly denied it, "Teacher, I have never offended anyone. I don't understand where these rumors come from."

The teacher looked into his eyes. This student was the one he valued the most and he must not let him fail in such a matter.

He coughed lightly and clenched his fists. "Shen Rujun, you are one of my most proud disciples. I always think you have a bright future. However, if you can't even handle these rumors, then your future is worrying."

The Master spoke with deep earnestness and sincerity, and he truly valued talent.

"Although this unfounded rumor is untrue, it will be bad for your reputation if it gets out. When you enter the official career, these rumors will become a stain on you."

Shen Rujun lowered his head and clenched his hands on his knees. He knew that what the teacher said was right.

"Master, I know I am wrong. I will find the source of the rumor as soon as possible and put a stop to it. I will never let this matter affect my future and fail to live up to your cultivation of me."

The Master looked at him, nodded and said, "I hope you can do what you say. Remember, you must be steady. Don't trust others easily, and don't be fooled by others. Otherwise, you will suffer."

"Also, I have already written the letter of recommendation. If this matter gets escalated, I am afraid that this letter will not be delivered."

Shen Rujun's heart trembled, and he quickly said that he would definitely deal with the matter as soon as possible.

After leaving the study, he felt heavy-hearted. Spreading rumors was probably just a trick, and he didn't know what the person behind it was trying to do.

Are they going to cut off his path to taking the imperial examination?

Thinking of this, Shen Rujun's eyes turned red. He had studied hard for decades and he would not let these little tricks ruin his future!

Absolutely not!

Now is a critical stage. He doesn't dare to gamble, nor does he dare to spend too much time investigating. What he needs to do now is to cut the Gordian knot and not let this kind of trouble grow.

A sinister look flashed across his lowered eyes.

"Brother Shen?"

Fang Ru had been waiting for him outside, and her heart trembled when she saw his posture.

"It's okay, let's go and review our lessons. We can't waste time reviewing."

After saying that, Shen Rujun walked ahead by herself, while Fang Ru swallowed what she wanted to say and followed behind.
