My Little Girl (39)
“That’s why she is a two-faced person,” Qi Yue snorted .
Jing Fei, who ran alongside him, heard what they had said and knitted his brows . “You should say less things that would lead to trouble, and be careful Master doesn’t hear you . ”
“This young master is not afraid . I didn’t do anything wrong!”
As Qi Yue had spoken up, he suddenly realized that Shu Nuan had not said anything from beginning to end . He turned to look at her running silently beside him . He could not help but utter, “We don’t believe that princess . We can see who you are . ”
Su Hai also chimed in with him, “Yes! We believe in you!”
In the end, Shu Nuan said two words in a low voice, “Thank you . ”
However, Jing Fei explained reasonably, “It is useless to say these words . Princess Gu said these words in front of Tenth Class . Shu Nuan will definitely be affected . Yulin Academy attaches great importance to the reputation of students . Hence Shu Nuan should explain this matter to Master Gao . ”
“En,” Shu Nuan agreed but didn’t say much else .
It came as no surprise that Sheng Gu passed out after just two laps .
Master Gao sent someone to take Sheng Gu to see the Royal Physician, but did not let others stop .
Shu Nuan’s physique was not much better: she began to clench her teeth after several laps and was nearing collapse .
Professor Gao left behind Qi Yue and the other three stood outside the hall, while he called Shu Nuan to the library .
“Shu Nuan, I know the truth about you . Although you are under Prince Sheng, your intellectual ability is really no worse than the rest of the Tenth Class . But you have to know one thing . It is another thing altogether for these students to know the truth . The impact will be extremely bad . Most importantly, this incident was caused by none other than Princess Gu . ” Master Gao paused, then continued, “As your teacher, I think you should go home to avoid suspicion and not come to the academy for the time being . ”
Shu Nuan was silent for a while . She only nodded and didn’t say anything .
Master Gao wanted to say something to ease her mood, but in the end, he sighed and said, “You can go back after today’s class . ”
Shu Nuan nodded and left .
When she returned to the Tenth Class, the students inside the hall looked at her with varying emotions . Some of them were surprised; others disdainful, scoffing, or laughing . After all, she hadn’t been a student here for long . Only Qi Yue and the others held confidence in her, while the rest disliked her because of her now-revealed identity of a slave .
After the class, Shu Nuan gathered her things . She did not tell them that she could not come to the academy for the time being . She just said goodbye to them and left .
Sheng Gu was drinking her medicine on the carriage while thinking of what Master Gao had said . Knowing Shu Nuan could no longer go to the academy, she finally breathed a sigh of relief .
Suddenly, a strong wind blew a corner of the curtain open, catching Sheng Gu off guard . An ear-piercing screech was heard as sharp claws ruthlessly swiped across Sheng Gu’s face . She let out a miserable scream of pain, fainting for the second time that day…
The falcon flew back to the shoulders of a young man dressed in temple robes . The young man snorted coldly and uttered a few words, “Ah’Qi, let’s go . ”
Since Sheng Gu was scratched in the face by a falcon on her way back to the manor, she could not go to the academy the coming days .
With a veil covering her face, she spent two days angry and crying . She always felt unlucky . The more she thought, the more she realised how the source of her recent bad luck had been Shu Nuan . So after two days of staying put, Sheng Gu could not help but go look for Shu Nuan to cause trouble .
And Ah’Bi even thought up a good reason—she could make an issue regarding the clothes Shu Nuan had made before .
