Gu Qinlan said calmly: "As long as you didn't initiate the provocation, then you are on the side of justice. How can I blame you? You are defending your mother's dignity. What crime have you committed? If you let others insult your mother and do nothing, then it is truly unfilial."

A warm feeling surged in Zheng Fenghui's heart and tears welled up in his eyes.

Gu Qinlan gently pulled him onto the carriage, and they returned to the school.

Master Liao's face was as cold as ice, and he said in a firm tone: "Madam Zheng, I have made my position very clear. I will never teach Zheng Fenghui again. Even if you use the name of Prince Duan's Mansion to put pressure on me, I will not yield."

Gu Qinlan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and responded calmly: "Mr. Liao, you misunderstood. I am not here to ask you to continue to accept Zheng Fenghui. I am here to ask you to apologize to Zheng Fenghui."

Mr. Liao was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "I, apologize to Zheng Fenghui?"

Gu Qinlan nodded, her tone firm: "Yes, and Lou Zhejie should also publicly apologize to Zheng Fenghui."

Master Liao couldn't help but laugh: "Madam Zheng, you are too ridiculous. As a teacher, how can I apologize to my students?"

Gu Qinlan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Does the master never make mistakes? Does the master not need to apologize if he makes a mistake? Even if the emperor makes a mistake, he should be punished the same as the common people. As a master, can you be above the emperor?"

Master Liao was surprised and panicked: "You are talking nonsense! That's not what I meant!"

Gu Qinlan smiled and said, "Then, Master Liao should apologize to Zheng Fenghui now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled Zheng Fenghui to the front.

Zheng Fenghui was full of confusion at this time.

Master Liao was also confused: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Gu Qinlan asked: "Didn't I express myself clearly?"

Master Liao insisted, "It is absolutely impossible for me to apologize to my students. Zheng Fenghui hit Lou Zhejie and pushed me. I was magnanimous not to hold him responsible. It is ridiculous for you to ask me to apologize to him!"

Gu Qinlan's expression gradually became serious: "Zheng Fenghui did hit Lou Zhejie and accidentally pushed you, we don't deny this. But have you really figured out why he attacked Lou Zhejie?"

Master Liao's eyes widened in anger: "No matter what the reason is, hitting someone is wrong."

Gu Qinlan sneered: "Is that really the case? If someone insults your mother in front of you, can you easily forgive him?"

Master Liao's face suddenly turned livid: "Anyone who insults my mother is guilty of an unforgivable crime!"

Gu Qinlan immediately interjected: "Since the teacher also has this opinion, then my child Zheng Fenghui did nothing wrong today. Lou Zhejie deserves it! Not only should he be beaten, he should also apologize to us!"

Master Liao was speechless for a moment: "Their dispute... is actually like this?"

Gu Qinlan's expression was as cold as ice: "So, until now, Master still hasn't understood the true course of events?"

Master Liao was extremely embarrassed and stammered, "I...I..."

Gu Qinlan said bluntly: "Master Liao saw the son of his wife's friend being hurt, so he subconsciously sided with Lou Zhejie without knowing the truth. If you were just an ordinary person, it would be understandable, but as a master, you shoulder the responsibility of educating people, and you must act impartially, otherwise how can you convince others? How can the moral character of the students you train be trusted?"

Master Liao looked a little embarrassed: "This is just a misunderstanding, why make a fuss about it?"

Gu Qinlan sneered: "Misunderstanding? Do you want to use the word "misunderstanding" to lightly pass over such a bad behavior? To put it mildly, you are confused and don't know right from wrong; to put it seriously, this is dereliction of duty and immorality, and condoning evil! If I make this matter public, do you think there will be any parents willing to entrust their children to you for teaching!"

Master Liao couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart at this moment: "Madam Zheng, please calm down. This matter was handled improperly by me. I didn't investigate the whole matter in detail. Now that the truth has been revealed, I will immediately ask someone to call Lou Zhejie to come and apologize."

But after a moment, Lou Zhejie was hurriedly called over.

Gu Qinlan's eyes fell on Lou Zhejie. She lowered her head slightly and glanced at Zheng Fenghui, thinking that this young man was really cruel. Look at the son of the Lou family who was beaten so badly that his eyes were swollen and black, like a defeated rooster.

Zheng Fenghui did not notice Gu Qinlan's gaze, but just stared at Lou Zhejie angrily.

Lou Zhejie was glared at by Zheng Fenghui and hurriedly hid behind Master Liao, but he still complained loudly: "Master, look, Zheng Fenghui is a vicious monster. He must want to attack me again. Please expel him from the school!"

Mr. Liao coughed awkwardly and said with difficulty: "Lou Zhejie, don't worry, Zheng Fenghui will not be violent to you again. However, you have to apologize to Zheng Fenghui."

Lou Zhejie was stunned for a moment, then shouted in dissatisfaction: "He hit me, why should I apologize to him?!

Gu Qinlan said firmly, "Because you started the trouble and said bad things, you deserve to be beaten. It is your duty to apologize. If you don't apologize, I will let Zheng Fenghui teach you a lesson until you are willing to say those three words!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fenghui immediately rolled up his sleeves, looking eager to try.

Lou Zhejie was so scared that he screamed and quickly hid behind Master Liao.

Master Liao quickly opened his arms and tried to stop them: "Madam Zheng, please calm down. This is a dispute between the younger generation. It is not appropriate for adults to intervene."

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, parents protecting their own children like this!

Gu Qinlan said in a cold and hard tone: "I don't think this is just an unintentional act by the children. The Zheng family has always disliked causing trouble, but if someone deliberately provokes them, he will learn the consequences of provoking the Zheng family!"

Although Zou had remarried and was no longer a member of the Zheng family, she was Zheng Fenghui's biological mother after all. To insult her was to insult Zheng Fenghui, and to insult Zheng Fenghui was to insult the Zheng family.

Gu Qinlan doesn't have much sense of belonging to the Zheng family, but that doesn't mean she will sit idly by and watch others insult the Zheng family.

After all, she is now a member of the Zheng family, and she feels the same way when the Zheng family is humiliated.

Mr. Liao had a splitting headache. He had never expected that this seemingly young, beautiful, gentle and polite woman could be so tenacious and unyielding.

What's worse is that the other party's identity is extraordinary. Zheng Dinglian is the son of Prince Duan, and he is a poor teacher. How dare he confront him head-on? He dared to expel Zheng Fenghui before, but he thought he had the moral high ground.

Now that the truth has come to light, he can't help but feel extremely uneasy, fearing that the other party will pursue the matter and put him in an embarrassing position.

So, he decisively pulled Lou Zhejie aside and said, "You made the mistake first, and you deserve the punishment. Now, apologize to Zheng Fenghui immediately."

Lou Zhejie's eyes widened, his face full of astonishment: "Uncle Liao, how can you speak for him? Have you forgotten what Aunt Liao told you? She asked you to take good care of me."
