ed everyone to sigh.Maoge and several mischievous boys were playing together, while Ligere accompanied Jiaren in entertaining Lei Bolin who had rushed over upon hearing the news. As for Jiahuan, he wa...Both of them instinctively tore down the wooden plaques on their waists. Brother Li was so angry he almost threw it, but Lao San Li caught it.

"This brand is still usable, let's keep it."

As he spoke, Li Laosan put the two pieces together and fiddled with them. The pieces opened up.

The two small pieces of paper were put back in, and the clasp was tightened again, fitting perfectly together, not a trace visible.

Li Zhensheng, Li Lao'er, and Mr. Wen took turns looking at the wooden sign, all in amazement.

Li Laoer said, "What a clever idea! An ordinary carpenter couldn't possibly make it."

Mr. Wen turned to Jia Ren and asked, "Have your family members had a chance to take a look Even the two classmates who falsely accused you are wearing such badges."

“Your father’s idea is to have someone swap the wooden name cards. That way, if they really start a fight at the examination hall, you can demand that their cards be checked again. By then, it will be them who are cheating, and all the consequences will fall on them!”

Li Ge'er's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately nodded in agreement: "Good, let them also taste the feeling of being framed!"

Jiā'ān and Jiāxǐ were also excited to hear this. Jiāxǐ even shouted, "That's right, that's right, they should be kicked out by the examiners so they can never take the exam again!"

But Jia Ren pondered for a moment, but shook his head, "Teacher, I don't want to do this."

Mr. Wen smiled and asked, "Why don't you want to do this Tell me."

“Because of the academy!” Jia Ren took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart and trying to calm down. “These two people are so ruthless, our counterattack is not wrong, but they represent not only themselves, but also the students of Luo'an Academy.”

"If they create a commotion after the exam, whether they cheat or we help them cheat, it will damage the reputation of Luo'an Academy. They may not care about the academy, but we cannot afford to."

“We brothers have studied in the academy for so long, we are close friends, and our teacher is erudite. We are very grateful for the education we received at the academy. We cannot repay the academy; it's enough to bring honor and glory to it. If we were to vent our anger and personal grudges, and also implicate the academy's reputation in the process, we would surely be tormented by guilt afterwards…”

His words hung in the air, met with silence from the crowd for a long moment.

The summer wind drifted over from next door, wanting to playfully lift everyone's clothes, but it was startled by the atmosphere and quickly scurried away, sticking to the wall.

"Good, well said!" Mr. Wen was extremely excited and stood up first, bowing to the Li family members in greeting, "Madam, the Li family will certainly be prosperous in the future! This child Jiaren is capable enough to shoulder the responsibility of bringing honor to our family!"

"Reading to gain wisdom is something almost everyone can do, but this kind of open-mindedness and magnanimity is truly rare! This is what the grandson of a prominent family should be like. The future of the Li family looks bright, it truly does!"

Mrs. Li also nodded repeatedly. She had actually only thought of an eye for an eye, but her grandson had given her such a big surprise.

An eye for an eye only vents immediate anger, but the grandson has a rare breadth of vision here. This is exactly what their humble background lacks!

This book was definitely worth reading!

Li Zhensheng's three brothers were also overjoyed. They rushed forward, grabbing Jia Ren's arms, patting his shoulders and backs, ecstatic beyond words.

Especially Li Laoer, it's truly shameful and proud!

As a father, he wasn't as considerate as his own son. But this excellent child was his son!

Jia Ren was originally worried that his family would be angry, after all, the family has always adhered to the motto: don't start trouble, but don't be afraid of it. Anyone who bullies people at the door is a direct confrontation.

Although he considered the bigger picture, he still seemed somewhat cowardly and yielding.

I didn't expect my family to be so supportive...

"Good boy, sit down quickly!" Li Zhensheng pulled his nephew down and patted his eldest son, Li Ge'er's head, comforting him, "Don't worry, it's understandable that you wanted revenge just now. But sometimes, conflict isn't just about fists and feet. It involves a lot of strategic considerations."

"Especially our family, we're no longer farmers from Qingshui Village. In the future, you'll be interacting with more and more people from higher social standing. If there are disputes, they can't be resolved through violence."

"Luckily you are still young, and your older brother grows up quickly. You will have more opportunities to learn later..."

Little Brother Li nodded obediently and sat beside his father.

Jia'an and Jiaxi were even more ashamed, blushing furiously. They were older than Li Ge'er. Though they didn't excel in their studies as much as their younger brother, they weren't as thoughtful and helpful when facing difficulties, weren't they just useless...

The little cat had a lot on his mind but couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Jia Yin hurriedly pulled out a piece of fruit and sat him down.

Then, the siblings took turns nibbling on it, occasionally a mischievous little fox would run over to grab a bite too.

As expected, the cat became distracted and stopped trying to interrupt.

Mr. Wen continued to question Jiaren, "Although we have to consider the reputation of the academy, we can't swallow our anger and let these two people stay by your side. What's a good way to handle this"

Jiarren just received affirmation, so now he speaks more fluently.

"Those two were students of the academy, and they nearly ruined the academy's reputation. I gave up the chance to fight back for the sake of the academy, and the academy certainly couldn't just let me be wronged."

"Therefore, my opinion is to gather all the physical and testimonial evidence, then present it before President Zhou and the gentlemen, exposing their scheme. I urge the Academy to intervene and expel them as a warning to others!"

Mr. Wen nodded, giving his affirmation once more, "Yes, that's right. Whether the enemy is strong or weak, it's best not to face them alone. Try your best to turn your individual enemy into everyone's enemy!

"Back then, you didn't have to lift a finger. Others would eliminate your enemies for you, and it was cleaner. There wouldn't be anyone criticizing your actions or debating right and wrong because if things went wrong, everyone would be at fault!"

Jia Ren quickly got up and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Teacher, for your teachings."

"Alright, no need for such formalities among family." Mr. Wen glanced at the sun and looked towards Li Zhensheng and the others. "Let's go and visit Dean Zhou."

Li Zhensheng and others got up. Li Laosan tidied up the wooden sign, brought Jia Ren and Li Ge'er with him, and went out together.

Jiayin was worried that her family would be cheated, so she instructed Yeshan and Dongmei, "Big Uncle Da Shan, Auntie Mei, you guys go take a look. Don't let the bad guy get away."

"Alright, Miss, please rest assured." Yēsān replied and followed Dongméi to the academy.

Leaving behind were Jia An, Jia Xi, and the little cat son, standing under the eaves, a little at a loss.

They study and attend classes at the academy during the day, learn horsemanship and archery, and have good friends. Their families also take care of their living arrangements nearby, so they don't need to worry about food, lodging, or clothing.

Their lives were too joyful, more carefree than immortals.

But today, I suddenly discovered that beneath the beauty, there were also hidden thorns and daggers, as if they were always looking for an opportunity to stab them.

My eyes were filled with a beautiful world, but suddenly the filter shattered, revealing its ugly true face. This feeling is terrible!

Several boys instinctively huddled closer to their grandmother and sister, wanting to say something but not knowing what.
