Pet Addiction: The Prince's Desire to Spoil His Pet Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (7)

At this moment, Headmaster Chen and others arrived .

Headmaster Chen had been caught off guard when he’d learned of the empress dowager’s visit . He’d wanted to take her to see the academy, but  she’d excused herself by saying that she didn’t want to be too ostentatious . So she hadn’t let them follow her . She and her grandchildren had come to see Sheng Gu, and so the headmaster hadn’t expected such a thing to occur .

Headmaster Chen first asked Master Gao to bring all the students in the class to the hall outside, and then he consoled the dowager .

But the dowager didn’t appreciate it . She snorted, and said, “Headmaster Chen, I think your academy is only declining . Can anyone get admitted now?”

Headmaster Chen naturally understood that the dowager was referring to Shu Nuan’s status as a slave . He coughed twice and was about to open his mouth to explain, but he heard a light voice come from outside the door .  

“How can anyone who was able to enter Class One be unqualified for admission?”

Several people followed the voice and found that Ji Xubai had walked in .

He glanced at Shu Nuan and sneered .  

“I say, where have you been, Shu Nuan? Do you consider yourself too highly? After only a few days, you dare to cut classes?”

Shu Nuan looked at him silently .

Hearing his words, the dowager frowned .  

“This girl is a student of Class One?”

The dowager had taken the relationship between Sheng Qianmo and the Yulin Academy to be the reason why Shu Nuan had been able to enter Class Ten . That was a remarkable thing, but Class One was difficult for even the children of the Imperial families and nobles to enter . Only results talked in that class .

So, after hearing his words, the dowager hesitated for a moment .

Ji Xuebai gave her a small salute and said with a smile, “Empress Dowager, she is indeed my student . ”

After saying this, Ji Xubai gazed at Shu Nuan, and asked, “Why haven’t you ran back to class yet?”

“…” 

Shu Nuan was silent . At this moment, she was being held by two guards .

“Stand Down!” the dowager ordered . She frowned and looked at Shu Nuan before continuing . “Don’t tell me the reason why you hit Little Gu first . I only ask you one question . Are you still living at Shenghe Manor?”

“Yes,” Shu Nuan answered .

The Empress Dowager turned her head to look at Sheng Gu again . With a dignified look, she ordered, “Take this girl back to my palace . I will interrogate her in person . ”

The soldiers followed her order to detain Shu Nuan .  

Ji Xubai said, “Empress Dowager, you can interrogate anything you want . But tomorrow, Shu Nuan must be well, and present at Class One . ”

Ji Xili’s eyes widened at his words .

“Ji Xubai! Is this a tone you can take with the Empress Dowager?”

Sheng Zhiyu sighed, and said, “Ji Xubai has been impudent since childhood . Let it be . ”

The dowager knew that Ji Xubai was a pillar of the Yulin Academy, and she didn’t care about it . In a cold voice, she said, “It’s my family’s matter . ”

“Grandmother… are you going to get mad me?”

Sheng Gu wasn’t sure what her grandmother was thinking, especially with the complex expression she was wearing . She couldn’t tell if the dowager could suddenly turn to Shu Nuan’s side . As a result, the princess was perplexed and uneasy, looking at the dowager with reddened eyes .

But the empress dowager just clapped her hands and turned to Ning Cheng Yuan .

“Little Yuan, you’ll take Xiao Gu back to the manor later . ”
 

Sheng Gu sobbed, and said, “I haven’t had a home for a long time… Where should I go back to? Fourth Uncle drove me out of his manor for her sake . ”
