The Prime Minister's Darling

Chapter 334: 180 Father and Son Connection (Second Update)

Zheng Siye strutted proudly towards the classroom where Xiao Liulang and Xiao Jingkong resided.

Xiao Jingkong, having waited until exhaustion, was already in sound sleep in Xiao Liulang’s arms.

As Zheng Siye stepped over the threshold, he saw the guilty little boy soundly asleep, which instantly incensed him to the point of bellowing in fury.

Xiao Liulang’s icy gaze then cut him off!@@novelbin@@

Zheng Siye swore he had never encountered such a terrifying look before, as if he was being stripped raw and swallowed whole!

Zheng Siye’s voice abruptly choked in his throat.

Xiao Liulang laid Xiao Jingkong onto a makeshift bed from two benches, covered him with his dwarf-cape, and promptly left the classroom.

He shut the classroom door behind him.

Zheng Siye only regained his bearing after a violent start, his skin prickled, “Xiao Liu—”

“Speak over there,” Xiao Liulang cut him off indifferently, heading towards the classroom across without particular care for his willingness.

The elementary class was already dismissed, and all the classrooms were empty. Xiao Liulang chose a spot by the window, where he could observe Xiao Jingkong.

Xiao Jingkong slept peacefully, huddled with the small falcon which nestled in his warmth.

Fearing a fight, Master Sun followed them in, but he kept his silence, watching Xiao Liulang and then Zheng Siye.

Zheng Siye had arrived with absolute conviction that day. Standing tall, he addressed, “Xiao Liulang, what do you have to say now? This ought not to be another ludicrous child’s play, I presume!”

Last time, it was a case of two careless children, but what about now?

Who forced him to bring a raptor, a fierce beast, to the Guozijian?

Ignoring Zheng Siye’s words, Xiao Liulang responded with a nonchalant gaze, “So, what are you planning to do? Exploit your power for personal benefits again?”

Zheng Siye was taken aback in outrage, “How dare you speak to me in such a manner? I am the official of the Guozijian, and your teacher! Do not retort before I even chastise you! If I may be blunt, Guozijian cannot admit students like you!”

Master Sun immediately turned pale.

Admittedly, Xiao Jingkong was mostly at fault for this incident. Regardless of how Qin Chuyu insulted him, bringing a raptor to the Guozijian was a significant violation of the institution’s regulations.

However, proposing expulsion because of this was rather a stretch.

And it wasn’t just about expelling him alone.

What wrong did Xiao Liulang commit?

A father who doesn’t discipline his son is at fault, but this is not how you deal with such situations.

Seeing no sign of fear, Xiao Liulang stared back defiantly, “Which Guozijian regulation allows you to expel a student?”

In the Guozijian, only those guilty of academic dishonesty, legal offenses, or the likes would be expelled.

The elementary students cannot be expelled.

Only those in the Genius Class who fail the exams could be reassigned to the regular class.

The fact that Xiao Jingkong brought a raptor to the Guozijian for the first time, causing no physical harm, should only call for a written warning according to the institution’s rules, nothing more.

Therefore, the expulsion was not justified in the slightest.

Zheng Siye knew he would argue along these lines; he had already thought of a countermeasure during his journey here.

Guozijian’s rules apply to ordinary people, but is Qin Chuyu an ordinary man?

He’s a prince!

Intimidating a prince is a capital offense!

Zheng Siye sneered, “Do you even realize who that child is? You would be scared to death if you knew! He is a prince from the palace! Now do you understand the magnitude of the crime your child committed? I am doing you a favor by expelling both of you! Otherwise, if the punishment seems too light, dissatisfaction from the palace could cost your heads!”

Given that Xiao Liulang hailed from a rural area, Zheng Siye was quite sure that he would be intimidated by his words.

However, Xiao Liulang merely huffed in contempt: “Fine, then call the emperor. Let’s see how His Majesty handles this matter.”

Zheng Siye was taken aback.

What’s with this kid? He wasn’t fazed at all?

Could he call for the emperor?

It’s not that the emperor wouldn’t care for Prince Qi, but if he faltered even in this trivial matter, how could His Majesty entrust the Guozijian to him?

Zheng Siye bragged defiantly, “Heh, your opinions count for nothing. I’ve made up my mind. You both will be out of the Guozijian today!”

For his grand scheme to become the Ritual Wine, he had thought out a foolproof plan!

Did it matter whether Xiao Liulang agreed?

He had already prepared the expulsion order, bearing the official seal of the Guozijian. It only needed the signature of their class teacher!
