Chapter 275 See for Yourselves
"A couple of girls always bring up Daxing laws to make a fuss. How can they be disrespectful if they tell others about it!"
Chengzhang Xiangjun was somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Tunan. At first, she thought she was smart, but she turned out to be mischievous.
"This matter ends here. If anyone uses the law again, don't blame me for being rude to her with my golden ruler."
Ye Ruzhen shook her head vigorously at Jiang Tunan. Jiang Tunan knew that Ye Ruzhen wanted her to quit while she was ahead. She knew that she was a little impulsive just now, but she couldn't control her emotions once she got emotional.
Zhang Qi was slightly relieved to see that Chengzhang Xiangjun was also on his side. If Jiang Tunan really took the document to sue, he might actually win the case.
Although the emperor granted special protection to female students, he also strengthened their legal responsibilities. If a young lady from an ordinary family made a mistake, her family would ask for mercy and the matter would be ignored.
But if female students are involved in a crime, they will be tried directly by the Dali Temple. If her father knew that she had been brought to the Dali Temple, she would be seriously injured if not killed.
"Jiang Tunan and Zhang Qi are both at fault in this matter. Give each of them five strokes of the cane, and the matter is over."
Chengzhang Xiangjun closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair. In her opinion, this was the best way to deal with the situation, but Ye Ruzhen refused.
"Dean, this matter should be between Miss Zhang and me. Xiaonan is just standing up for me. If you want to punish someone, punish me."
Ye Ruzhen knelt in front of the hall with her neck stiffened. She was actually very scared, but she knew that she couldn't let Jiang Tunan face it alone. This was not Jiang Tunan's business.
Princess Guangping did not speak, but Chengzhang Xiangjun spoke up.
"Jiang Tunan was the one who started this. How can you absolve yourself of responsibility with just a few words?"
Jiang Tunan lowered her head and remained silent. She was a little confused now. Her views were obviously reasonable and well-founded, so why did they end up being dealt with in a hasty manner with both sides being punished? She was now somewhat self-doubting.
Maybe she was too naive sometimes, or maybe the more open atmosphere of the girls' school made her a little lost, thinking that everyone was really equal here.
I'm so unconvinced.
Jiang Tunan only has this one thought in his mind now: Why?
But before Jiang Tunan exploded, Ye Ruzhen, who was kneeling beside him, exploded first.
"My dear, I don't understand. It was Zhang Qi who started it all, but you only care about blaming Xiaonan. It was Zhang Qi who deliberately made things difficult for me in the beginning. It was she who fabricated the facts and led people to surround me, but you only care about Xiaonan's fault."
Ye Ruzhen is usually a bit noisy, but whenever she meets someone of noble status, she behaves like a quail.
Jiang Tunan actually had a vague guess. He had seen Ye Bingchun being so careful and flattering towards Xiao Mingrui, a junior, and he thought that Ye Bingchun was sure of flattery in his daily life, so Ye Ruzhen was also somewhat influenced, not to mention that Ye Ruxuan had already become Leng Qingyan's little follower.
"Zhang Qi and I are both in Xinglan Court, and Xiao Nan is in Xiyun Court. If it wasn't for Xiao Nan's intention to stand up for me, why would she have argued with Zhang Qi? You came up and didn't ask why or what happened, and just gave them five big blows. How can such a result convince the public?"
Ye Ruzhen's voice was trembling slightly, and her face was covered with tears.
"What did Xiaonan do wrong? I am the one who is wrong. I am too cowardly. I should have stood up for this matter..."
Ye Ruzhen cried so hard that her speech became incoherent. Chengzhang Xiangjun was very unhappy when he saw Ye Ruzhen's totally lost composure.
"As a girl, you are crying here in front of so many people. I really don't know where you learned the rules. Besides, if you really have a grievance, you can always ask our school's sleeve commander to coordinate after school is over. But you and Jiang Tunan chose to make the most embarrassing move and still say you are not wrong."
Chengzhang Xiangjun leaned back, looking arrogant.
"I think you and Jiang Tunan should be punished together."
Zhang Qi stood by and watched the two people kneeling in silence. At this time, she should lower her presence. The more violent Ye Ruzhen made a fuss, the better. Thinking of this, she gave a look to her companion behind her. The man got Zhang Qi's meaning and pretended to speak casually with his friend next to him.
"Actually, this is just a misunderstanding between classmates. Why are Miss Ye and Miss Jiang so excited?"
The student next to that person also responded,
"Yes, I've been in the girls' school for a few years, and I've never seen anyone go to the Discipline Hall just for a little money."
"That's right, you're really fussy."
"That does make sense. Are Jiang Tunan and Ye Ruzhen making a big fuss?"
Many onlookers were misled and thought that Jiang Tunan and Ye Ruzhen were making trouble.
"Fifty taels of gold? A small amount of money? You must be really rich!"
The person who spoke was Xiao Mingxu, who was staring at the leading woman with an unfriendly look.
Xiao Mingrui pulled Xiao Mingxu and his tone was calmer.
"Since torture is going to be used, the matter will be reported to the emperor, so it is best not to speculate until the truth comes out."
After Xiao Mingrui finished speaking, the discussion around him became quieter. At this time, another voice sounded from the back of the crowd.
"You are so noisy. I never see you guys speak so enthusiastically when the teacher asks questions."
The person who spoke was Meng Jingchen. When everyone saw it was him, they automatically made way for him. He slowly walked to the front and glanced at the women who led the discussion.
"You like to gossip about others so much. It seems that everyone in the Imperial College has a lot of free time. Why don't I dig out some more secrets so that everyone can discuss them to their heart's content."
After Meng Jingchen's words, the crowd completely quieted down, and everyone stared at the few people in the Discipline Hall.
Chengzhang Xiangjun did not pay attention to the movement outside the Discipline Hall. Looking at the two people kneeling in front of him, his voice suddenly softened.
"It was just a fight between a few girls. Why make such a big fuss? Just apologize to each other and let it go. I won't punish you."
"It's not our fault, why should we apologize?"
Jiang Tunan looked up and met Cheng Zhangxiangjun's gaze. This guy was just here to smooth things over. Zhang Qi had clearly already gone too far, but she was still thinking about peace and love.
If today's incident was just let go, Jiang Tunan was sure that Ye Ruzhen would continue to be bullied by Zhang Qi in Xinglan Academy.
"Since the county lord doesn't allow us to talk about the law, then let's talk about the rules of the Imperial College. I want to sue Zhang Qi for... bullying her fellow students."
Jiang Tunan looked at Ye Ruzhen beside him in surprise. Chengzhang Xiangjun probably didn't expect Ye Ruzhen to speak like this. His voice was filled with anger.
"You are good at putting accusations against your fellow disciples. I have already told you not to hold on to this matter. Why do you insist on doing this?"
Chengzhang Xiangjun shook his head as if with regret, thinking that these two people were just like vendors bargaining in the market, with no manners at all.
"In that case, you can see for yourself."
