Chapter 16：

Master Hu was so angry that his beard turned up, and his old face was flushed. He pointed at Ye Ping. He had seen this girl look good earlier, and he felt a little bit of pity in his heart. I didn't expect that a shameless woman would dare to teach him a well-known literati.

"You...you are dishonest and shameless, a woman like you is worthy..."

"Insincere intentions, shameless? Ask Mr. Hu, but did you believe the rumors outside? The ancients said that what you hear is false, and what you see is believing. If you dare to ask Mr. Hu, did you see my harm with your own eyes, and heard my boastful words with your own ears?"

"It's groundless, and it may not come without a shadow. Everyone says so, how dare you deny it?"

"Master Hu is really a frog at the bottom of a well. Don't you know that my friendship with the second girl Wen is not as rumored? Not long ago, I just came out of the princess mansion. Master Hu can send someone to inquire. As for me, I have no shame. It’s even more nonsense, it’s better for Mr. Hu to talk to me, and I’ll listen with all my ears.”

"You... pestering King Wen, is it fake?"

"Master Hu's words are wrong. What is entanglement? How can an outsider know that two people are not in love with each other? So far, has Prince Wen ever said a word?"

"There is a saying in etiquette, private giving and receiving is considered adultery..."

"When did I give and receive in private? Master Hu saw it? When I confessed my heart to Prince Wen that day, it was in full view of the public. How did I give and receive in private?"

Mrs. Hu's face turned red, "You shameless person..."

"Master Hu has no shame when he speaks, and no shame when he keeps his mouth shut. I don't know what is the basis for it. Is there a rule in the etiquette and law that women should not please men. If this is the case, is there no love between men and women in the world?"

"you you…"

"Let me ask Mr. Hu again, is there an express provision in the laws of my Sheng Dynasty that men and women should not express their hearts to each other? Since there are no such regulations in the dogma of etiquette and the laws of the Sheng Dynasty, why did Mr. Hu accuse me of shameless crimes? Don't you, Mr. Hu? Comparing it to the law of etiquette, which is above the laws of the prosperous dynasty, not only can raise one's hand to cut off a person's future, but can also lightly destroy the reputation of others. If this is the case, a person like you who has no talent, no morals, bad intentions, and no shame will do it. It is simply the misfortune of Yuqing Academy and many students!"

After a short pause, there was continuous applause.

Among them, a man dressed as a Confucian scholar in green shirt leaned on the far side and said casually: "Master Hu, tell me, is there something wrong with what this Miss Ye said? Dare I ask her what kind of etiquette she has lost, and she has committed another crime?" Which law has been adopted. She may be in love with Prince Wen, but you, a sage who claims to be full of knowledge and sages, belittled her into a shameless woman, it is really wronged."

Master Hu was so angry that he couldn't speak, and pointed at that person for a long time, his face swollen into red liver was extremely ugly. Finally, he choked out a sentence, "If she and King Wen are in love, the old man will take her surname!"

"Our Ye family has a clean family, and we can't tolerate rat **** like you."

"Don't be complacent!"

"Which eye of yours sees my pride? You are the black sheep among masters." Ye Ping looked around at the crowd, and then his cold eyes fell on Master Hu, saying every word. "Remember, it's not that your Yuqing Academy doesn't want Ye Lian today, it's that Ye Lian doesn't want to respect someone like you who has no talent or virtue as a teacher, so please leave automatically!"

After speaking, she pulled her younger brother out of the classroom under the gaze of everyone. When passing by the master in green shirt, she took her younger brother to thank her. Just now she heard clearly that the person who applauded at the beginning was also this Master.

After leaving the academy, Ye Lian kept looking back.

After getting into the carriage, he was still in a state of anxiety.

"Sister, is this really possible?"

"It's his fault. If you continue to study with him, you might be led astray by him." Ye Ping hugged him, only to hear him hiss, as if he was in pain.

Ye Ping was startled, and couldn't help but toss off his clothes. His back was covered with whip wounds, old wounds piled up with new ones, and the latest scabs had just scabbed over. He should have been beaten in the past few days.

"who is it?"

Ye Lian lowered his head, not daring to answer.

"Is it Wang Wu?"

Wang Wu is the grandson of the third house of the Wang family, named Wang Quan. Ye Lianming was studying at Yuqing Academy, but in fact he was studying with Wang Quan.

"Why don't you ever tell?"

"It doesn't hurt." Ye Lian tugged at his clothes shyly. He is already eight years old, not a three or four year old child. "I'm used to it, don't tell your father and mother."

"You are his companion, not a servant of the Wang family, why should he treat you like this. You should tell your parents early in the morning, they will definitely make decisions for you."

"If my parents know about it and make trouble at the Wang family, the Wang family may not let me study in the academy." Ye Lian whispered, biting his lips. He loves reading so much that he won't be able to go to college anymore. "Sister, what should I do in the future?"

"There is no Yuqing Academy, there are other academies."

"No, it's not. They said that other academies will not accept those who are kicked out of Yuqing Academy."

"Who said that?"

"...It's Wang Quan. He said that if I dare to tell my parents, their Wang family will drive me out of the academy. At that time, no other academy dares to want me, so I won't be able to study."

"There's no king in this world." Ye Ping was extremely angry, she really wanted to tear herself apart and drag everyone in the Wang family off their horses. Such a century-old noble family is simply disgusting.

Ye Lian looks like Wang Shi, a boy with red lips and white teeth.

There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes washed by tears, and he looked at his eldest sister. Eldest sister is very active today, he heard many wives cheering for eldest sister.

"Sister, can I still go to school?"

"Of course, as long as you want, you can study wherever you are."

…

Before entering the house, Ye Lian retreated again. His mother must have been disappointed that he had been expelled from the academy. He is the eldest son in the family, and he was placed high hopes by his parents since he was a child.

"Sister..."

Ye Ping took his hand and led him in.

When Wang heard the movement, she sat up already. She longed for the door, until she heard the voice of her son and daughter, her hanging heart was finally relieved.

When she saw her son's appearance, she gasped again in horror.

"Lian'er, you... what's wrong with you?"

The bruise and blood on Ye Lian's forehead became more and more terrifying, and Wang's heart was so distressed that he shrank into a ball. Urgently ordered Erfu to fetch the wound medicine and Jinchuang medicine for reducing swelling, and bandaged his son with medicine while crying.

During the period, Ye Ping told about Mr. Hu's intentional embarrassment to Ye Lian, "In my opinion, Mr. Hu must have been instructed by the Wang family to deliberately give us a blow."

Before Wang could finish digesting, she directly peeled off Ye Yelian's clothes, revealing shocking whip wounds.

Wang Shi covered her mouth and lost her voice for a moment.

"Mother, this was whipped by Wang Quan. Our Ye family is not their servants of the Wang family. Why do they treat the elder brother like this? Even if they are slaves, there is no reason to whip them wantonly for no reason?"

Mrs. Wang beat her heart, crying heartbreakingly. "How could they do this? How could they..."

She is a girl from the Wang family, her daughter is the granddaughter of the Wang family, and her son is the grandson of the Wang family. The daughter is her heart, and her son is her lifeblood, but now her natal family wants to dig out her heart and hurt her lifeblood.

She is soft-tempered, she is used to submissiveness and humiliation, no matter what others do to her, she can bear it, but she can't bear others to hurt her child like this.

"Mother... Mother, go and seek justice for you!"

Ye Ping stepped forward to help her, she was ashamed.

It was her luck that she thought that the Wang family would not really kill them all. She never thought that she would underestimate the Wang family's determination and let those people bully her children.

"Pingniang, it's my mother's fault, my mother should have listened to you sooner."

"Mother, they won't pity me, and they won't feel sorry for my elder brother. I'm afraid you won't get justice if you go, and you will be angry instead."

"Then... that can't be the case."

"Mother, have you ever thought about it, as long as you are still a girl of the Wang family, and my eldest brother and I are still the granddaughter and grandson of the Wang family, they will have a way to control everything about us, including our lives."

Wang's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at her daughter in disbelief. Pingniang... What does Pingniang mean... let her sever ties with the Wang family?

How can this be!
