The Prime Minister's Darling

Chapter 335: 180 Father and Son Connection (Second Update) _2

Zheng Siye pulled out the documents from his sleeve, dusted them off, and said, “Master Sun, bring the pen and inkpad.”

Master Sun hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, “Yes.”

Master Sun left.

Soon, he returned with a set of ink treasures and the inkpad.

“Sign it, make your seal.” Zheng Siye handed him the document to expel the student.

This one was for Xiao Jingkong.

Master Sun hesitated again.

Honestly, he was quite reluctant.

Xiao Jingkong might have been somewhat headstrong this time, but most of the time, he was quite well-behaved and his performance was the best, promising a bright future.

Who doesn’t like a clever and bright child who always tops the exams?

However, this time he had offended the seventh prince.

What a pity.

Master Sun braced himself and started to sign and make the seal.

Once signed, there was no going back.

Xiao Liulang said indifferently, “Master Sun, think it through. You are assisting a tyrant, you’d better not regret it.”

Master Sun was torn inside.

“Write quickly!” Zheng Siye urged.

Biting his teeth, Master Sun picked up his pen and signed his name on the document. Just as he was about to make the seal, a sharp cry came from the doorway. It was Steward Su calling, “Oh, my lord! You’ve arrived!”

My lord?

Zheng Siye felt a jolt in his heart. Could it be Duke Xuanping?

Had he personally come to Guozijian?

Zheng Siye quickly adjusted his official hat and straightened his clothes, stepped out of the classroom, and bowed deeply in the corridor, “Subordinate pays his respect to Duke Xuanping!”

Duke Xuanping didn’t even glance at him and asked Steward Su, “Where is Xiaoqi?”

Steward Su quickly pointed at a classroom and said, “He’s in there, right now he’s having snacks.”

Still able to eat snacks, so he must be unaffected.

Duke Xuanping step forward, Zheng Siye squeezed his brain and approached him, “My lord! The culprit who harmed the Seventh Prince has been dealt with! Here are their expulsion documents! One has already been signed and sealed, and I will handle the other immediately!”

Duke Xuanping frowned, “Didn’t you say there was only one child?”

Zheng Siye said in a flattering manner, “His brother-in-law also studies at Guozijian, he twisted the facts and rejected reason, his character is really not commendable! I expelled him as well! Education is our top priority in Guozijian, we firmly refuse students with misconduct!”

Duke Xuanping simply gave a brief hmm, not much interested in these flatterings.

He went to the classroom where Qin Chuyu was with Steward Su.

Qin Chuyu was crying loudly but was finally pacified by Steward Su with a block of sheep milk cake. Now he was eating happily.

Seeing Duke Xuanping, Qin Chuyu’s chubby hand trembled and nearly dropped the sheep milk cake out of fright.

Duke Xuanping glanced at him, slightly squinting his eyes, “Is this the big issue you are talking about?”

From head to toe, he hadn’t even lost a single hair.

The two palace maids bowed to him.

The two people Qin Chuyu feared the most were his father, the emperor, and Duke Xuanping, his uncle.

Duke Xuanping had never scolded him, but for some reason, he was always scared when he saw him!

Now, he didn’t even dare to eat the sheep milk cake anymore. He gave it to the palace maid beside him, stood straight with his chubby body, and respectfully said, “Uncle!”

Duke Xuanping looked at him with disgust, “I heard you wet your pants?”

Qin Chuyu’s face turned red as he lowered his head, “I’ve already changed.”

Steward Su quickly intervened, chuckling, “Seventh Prince is still young, it was that child who released a hawk to peck at the Seventh Prince…”

Duke Xuanping scolded, “A mere hawk scared you like this, disgraceful!”

Qin Chuyu’s chubby body trembled.

Steward Su also fell silent.

Duke Xuanping turned around and left the classroom, then looked back at him, “Aren’t you leaving?”

Qin Chuyu reluctantly walked out.

He walked slowly, his eyes red.

Duke Xuanping said in a deep voice, “Are you feeling wronged now?”

Qin Chuyu’s nose turned sour and tears fell, “You didn’t help me when I was bullied! Are you still my uncle? Today, I almost became the Eunuch Seventh——”

Duke Xuanping said coldly, “You have the nerve to say that? When bullied, don’t you know how to retaliate? How could the Queen give birth to such a cowardly thing!”

Duke Xuanping grew up in the military camp since childhood. He did not read many books and spent his days with a group of crude men, moving around. He appeared elegant when he was silent, but it was unbearable to listen to once he opened his mouth.

Scolded as a coward, Qin Chuyu felt even more aggrieved and burst into tears!@@novelbin@@

Duke Xuanping: “…”

Damn it!

Nothing irritates him more than a crying kid!

Steward Su was scared witless, hurriedly squatted down and tried to console him.

Qin Chuyu cried harder and harder, “I don’t want an uncle anymore——I want my mother——Wu Wu Wu——I want my mother——”

Duke Xuanping had a headache!

“Chang Jing!”

With his stern shout, Chang Jing appeared seemingly from thin air, grabbed Little Fat Qin Chuyu, and whisked him away, dazzlingly swift over rooftops and walls.

Duke Xuanping also intended to leave.

However, as he passed by the classroom where Xiao Liulang had been, his heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

Zheng Siye came over with the expulsion documents signed and sealed, panting heavily, “My lord, you——”

Before he could finish speaking, Duke Xuanping turned around and pushed open the door of the classroom.

The classroom was empty, no one in sight.

On the other side, a window was wide open, and outside the window was a courtyard full of green bamboo.

“My lord, are you looking for that kid? Strange, he was here just now, where did he go? Did he run off so quickly?” Zheng Siye murmured in confusion.

Duke Xuanping frowned and closed the classroom door, then walked away with an icy look.

“My lord——do you want to review the expulsion documents——my lord——my lord——”

The sound of Zheng Siye’s calls gradually faded away with Duke Xuanping’s retreating footsteps.

Xiao Liulang came out from behind a few stalks of green bamboo after making sure he was gone.

The windowsill was not high, and despite his impairment, he could still climb through.

He leaned on his crutch and headed for the main door.

As soon as he pulled open the classroom door, he saw Duke Xuanping blocking the doorway like a towering mountain.
