After a while, they arrived home, but Xia Yingying hugged Lu Ziren too tightly, and Lu Ziren was reluctant to let such a sweet and soft body leave him like this.

He didn't even want to remind Xia Yingying that they had already entered the house, but Xia Yingying had been looking at the night scenery. As soon as she saw where they lived, she let go of Lu Ziren's arm.

The warmth and softness in his arms suddenly disappeared, and Lu Ziren felt empty inside as well.

Seeing Xia Yingying like this, Lu Ziren felt embarrassed to continue hugging Xia Yingying, so he immediately let go of Xia Yingying and let her go back into the house.

"By the way, that boy said that there is evidence to prove Lu Haoran's cheating. What is going on? Does he really have evidence?"

Xia Yingying was still worried. After all, there were too many unexpected events in this competition. If she was not careful, she would go down the same old path as predicted in the book, or even be doomed.

"Haoran has already put the note somewhere else. Even if they want to search us, they won't find it on Haoran, but on someone else. They'll have to fend for themselves then." Lu Ziren narrowed his eyes, his voice stern.

After hearing what Lu Ziren said, Xia Yingying finally felt relieved.

Xia Yingying changed into a white undershirt and panties, immediately lay down on the bed, closed her eyes tightly, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Xia Yingying told Song Ruyi, Lu Haojie and others about the results of the night visit. But even so, the family was still worried as if they were walking on the edge of a cliff.

The result came out three days later, and it was indeed given by the referee.

On the day when the truth of the investigation was announced, many people came to the private school to watch the excitement, because this matter was of great importance. It concerned the future of the students and the reputation of the two old officials in the court.

They did not intend to hold a public trial, but simply posted the results of the investigation on the private school's bulletin board.

The investigation results showed that Lu Haoran did not cheat in this competition at all, and that person was purely slandering him. However, their investigation was not completely fruitless. Instead, they caught the "real murderer" - the person who shouted that he had evidence to prove Lu Haoran cheated, named Wang Sicong.

Through the investigation, it was found that Wang Sicong did frame Lu Haoran for cheating, and that he was instructed by Liang Bowen in order to let Ye Xinghe win the competition.

The reason why Wang Sicong framed Lu Haoran was that Liang Bowen had promised that if he succeeded in framing Lu Haoran, he would use his family connections to get Wang Sicong to become Yu Bixian's apprentice. Even if Wang Sicong failed to achieve success in the future, he could rely on Yu Bixian's reputation to become a small aide under King Kang, and his future would be bright.

Liang Bowen offered too much, and Wang Sicong couldn't resist the temptation and agreed.

Although Tang Qingye was a good gentleman, he attached great importance to rules and was unwilling to let them collude.

Now that the truth has been exposed, he has no chance to stay with Tang Qingye. Yu Bixin retorted that he had never promised such a thing and asked him not to ruin his reputation. He went to find Liang Bowen, but Liang Bowen hired someone to beat him up, saying that he had never done such a thing and that he had framed him.

In the end, Wang Sicong was expelled from his school. Even if he wanted to take the imperial examination in the future, it would be impossible. After all, officials in the court must have good conduct. He has now been stigmatized. Even if other private schools dared to employ him, he would not have a place in the imperial examination.

Wang Sicong can only cling to Liang Bowen as his only lifeline.

However, because Liang Bowen had a powerful background and Yu Bixin did not want to expel him from his school, even though the person who falsely accused Wang Sicong said that he was instructed by Liang Bowen to frame Lu Haoran, Liang Bowen only cooperated with the investigation a few times and insisted that it was Wang Sicong who framed him out of jealousy. In addition, there was no evidence or verification of their dealings, so in the end all the charges were pinned on Wang Sicong.

Yu Lixian knew the truth of the matter and did not hold Liang Bowen responsible, so the matter was left unresolved.

"This is the whole truth of the matter."

After hearing this, Song Ruyi couldn't help but scold Liang Bowen.

"That Liang Wen has such a nice name, but he is really a beast in human form. He actually treated our Haoran like that."

"Our Haoran is smart, so he will definitely pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official. He saw that our Haoran is smarter than him, and was worried that he would lose face if Haoran won, so he resorted to such despicable means to discredit Haoran. It's really disgusting. Such a person can still get away with it. Is there really no justice?"

"Don't worry, he just escaped temporarily, it doesn't mean he will escape forever. This matter has come to an end for the time being, and the competition will continue tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Hey, I just feel sorry for Haoran. How could he meet such a vicious person at such a young age?"

"Mom, Haoran will be an official in the future. The officialdom is treacherous. This kind of trick is considered a minor one in the officialdom. In fact, it is better to encounter it earlier. At least you won't be deceived so easily. Every step you take in the future will be more cautious."

"You're right. Has Haoran been released now?" Song Ruyi was still worried that Lu Haoran was put in solitary confinement.

"Mom, don't worry, he has been released. Let's go see him later."

"Alright."

Because Lu Haoran suffered an injustice this time, Yu Bishen asked Liang Bowen to compensate Lu Haoran with 500 taels of silver. Lu Haoran was in the private school, and it was not safe for him to carry such a huge sum of money. It happened that Xia Yingying brought Song Ruyi and others to visit Lu Haoran, and Lu Haoran gave all the 500 taels of silver to Xia Yingying.

Lu Haoran opened the wooden box and saw five hundred taels of silver neatly stacked inside. Song Ruyi's eyes widened. Oh my God, so much money! She had never seen so much in her life.

Although Song Ruyi and Xia Yingying loved money, when they thought that the money was sent by Liang Bowen, they felt that it would be better not to have the money.

"What a wicked thing! How dare you treat our Haoran and Yingying like this? This money..."

Xia Yingying looked at Lu Haoran. Lu Haoran's eyes changed slightly, and he spoke slowly while Xia Yingying and Song Ruyi looked at each other.

"Stepmother, grandmother, it is an indisputable fact that I have suffered injustice, but fortunately it has been washed away now. So far, we have not been able to make Liang Bowen and his masterminds get the punishment they deserve. Going head-on with them will undoubtedly be a lose-lose situation. Now they are willing to compensate me with so much silver, I am satisfied. Besides, there is a long way to go, and there will be opportunities to take revenge in the future. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and now is the best result."

What Lu Haoran said made sense. They were simply not qualified to compete with Ye Xinghe and the others. In the face of their absolute power, they could only keep a low profile and restrain their edge.

Lu Haoran spoke deeply, and every word seemed to pierce Xia Yingying's heart.

Lu Ziren did not come with them because he had something to deal with. I wonder if Lu Ziren will use his power to avenge Lu Haoran after hearing what Lu Haoran said?

Lu Ziren left in a hurry today. I don't know what happened to him. "Please vote"
