Chapter 12: Choices
Early in the morning, when Shen Enlai woke up, Nan Huaiyun was no longer in the house. Shen Enlai came to her senses instantly, she turned over and got out of bed, and walked out while putting on her clothes. It wasn't until I saw Nan Huaiyun's figure in the dining room that my whole heart was put down.
Even if he behaved no matter how unhindered, such a big thing happened yesterday, Shen Enlai was still inevitably worried. Many things do not mean that they are over, and some things are in my heart and cannot die in my life.
"Nuan Nuan, you don't have to get up so early to get food, you can sleep a little longer." Shen Enlai walked to Nan Huaiyun's side and tried to help, but was brushed away.
"No, I don't. Sister Shen, I boiled hot eggs for you, and you take it and put it on your face. β
couldn't persuade Nan Huaiyun, so Shen Enlai had to give up. Turning his head to wash, he applied the eggs, and by the time it was time for breakfast, the swelling on Shen Enlai's face had dissipated a lot, but the red mark had not completely faded.
"Class master, your handβ"
Shen Enlai's hand that was holding the vegetables was fine, but Chen Zhenmin's voice shocked her chopsticks from being clamped. Now, all eyes fell on her injured right hand.
In fact, Shen Enlai wanted to say that it was not a big deal, but the five pairs of eyes were too hot, which made her feel that her hand seemed to be beginning to ache faintly.
Shen Enlai sighed and waved at everyone. "It's no big deal, let's eat quickly."
However, before she could put her hand down, she suddenly fell into a warm touch. She looked up in surprise, almost slapping her face. Why did Nan Huaijin pull her hand? And put it in the palm of your hand. Is this blatantly eating tofu? Even if you want to repay with a personal promise, the object is also Nan Huaiyun.
Shen Enlai sneered and withdrew his hand and looked at Nan Huaijin vigilantly. Nan Huaijin wanted to laugh a little, what kind of expression did this girl have.
"Nuan Nuan, go get some medicinal wine."
Shen Enlai really wanted to say no, but when he saw Nan Huaiyun's worried expression, he could only swallow his words back.
"Class master, I wanted to go to you yesterday, but I don't know if you have something. But Huai Jin said that you want to be alone for a while, so we didn't bother you. Li Qingshan looked at Shen Enlai with some guilt. There was such a big thing yesterday, and Shen Enlai must have been quite frightened.
Shen Enlai, as the person concerned, looked at Nan Huaijin, when did she say that she wanted to be quiet? Nan Huaijin focused on cleaning the wound on Shen Enlai's hand, and Shen Enlai thought that he didn't dare to look at her out of humility. However, Nan Huaijin was right, she really wanted to stay alone for a while yesterday.
"Where's Wen Xingxing?" Wen Xingxing doesn't live in the academy every day, but compared to those princes and nobles, he has more time to rest in the academy. Shen Enlai didn't actually want to ask him, but as far as the current slightly quiet atmosphere was concerned, Shen Enlai still opened his mouth.
He went back to the palace, Gu Chusheng, a brute, read the sage book in vain. Wen Xingxing will ask the crown prince to convict the emperor. When Han Qianjin mentioned this, she was so angry that she wanted to scold. Yesterday's situation is still vivid, if it weren't for Nan Huaijin's noticing that they didn't go out to look for someone, and then they came a moment late, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Yesterday was a bureau set up for me, and Nuan Nuan was involved because of me." Shen Enlai spoke. She asked Nuan Nuan today, but she didn't meet anyone all the way yesterday. And then there is a thunderstorm, how can it be such a coincidence. This game is exquisitely set up, and he is very familiar with her whereabouts, Shen Enlai even doubts that Gu Chusheng alone can have such courage.
"Sister Shen, don't say that. As you said, close the door, Class 6 is a family. β
Shen Enlai only mentioned it casually in the past, but Nan Huaiyun took it to heart.
"That's right, class master, we are six classes in one, and blessings and misfortunes depend on each other." Chen Zhenmin rarely speaks with a literary temperament.
Li Qingshan: "And when the sixth prince comes back, he can convict Gu Chusheng." β
Li Qingshan's words made everyone present look a little happier, only Nan Huaijin. He didn't speak, but he didn't have much hope for it.
In recent years, the emperor has become more and more biased towards the three princes, and Dali Siqing was praised by the Son of Heaven not long ago for the theft of the palace. Nan Huaijin didn't dare to expect that the princelings might want to fight the Three Princes, but Nan Huaiyun's case couldn't be hit in one hit, so why take the risk for a poor girl? For those in high power, human life has always been noble and lowly.
Wen Xingxing did not return for a long time, Shen Enlai pressed Chen Zhenmin to memorize the book in the morning, but he didn't expect to wait for Wen Xingxing, and waited for Nan Huaiyun.
"Sister Shen, I have something I want to tell you." Sensing Nan Huaiyun's emotions, Shen Enlai sent Chen Zhenmin away, closed the door of the study, and only the two of them were left in the quiet room.
"Nuan Nuan, what's the matter with you?"
"Sister Shen, I don't want to settle things. I want to sue Gu Chusheng. I know that if you hadn't cared about me, you would have sued the government a long time ago. β
Nan Huaiyun's words made Shen Enlai a little surprised, first, Nan Huaiyun decided to sue the official, and second, she guessed the reason why she didn't sue the official. Gu Chusheng didn't do evil only to Nan Huaiyun, he also did evil to Shen Enlai. But Shen Enlai knew the reason why Nan Huaijin was reluctant to report to the official, and he had to consider Nan Huaiyun's reputation. At this time, once it gets bigger, gossip will kill people. Therefore, Shen Enlai can't take Nan Huaiyun at risk. She doesn't care about herself, but Nan Huaiyun is different. So she has been dragging on this case, and she didn't even go to the second class to find Zhao Feiyan, the jar of wine, she must have missed something.
"Nuan Nuan, do you know that once you decide to report to the official, the pressure you have to bear will also follow. Your brother is reluctant to report to the official, but also for your sake, have you figured it out yourself? β
"Sister Shen, I know. But if the choice passes like this, I'm afraid it will only make Gu Chusheng think that all women are objects that he can bully at will. I don't understand the big truth in your book, but you said it, but do good deeds, don't ask about the future. I don't have as much ambition as you, I just want to do what I can. β
Nan Huaiyun looked at Shen Enlai after speaking, Shen Enlai actually wanted to tell Nan Huaiyun that she had done a good job, and kindness had nothing to do with ambition.
Then to Shen Enlai's surprise, Nan Huaiyun's decision was agreed by Nan Huaijin, and he only changed the report to inform the dean. Anyway, Nan Huaiyun's purpose was to make Gu Chusheng understand that everything was not as he thought, as long as he was punished, it would be good to restrain his actions in the future. Yes, without waiting for Wen Xingxing to come back, the rest of the sixth class, under the leadership of Shen Enlai, went to Zhang Zhidong to seek justice for Shen Enlai and Nan Huaiyun.
And after walking out of Class 6 and walking onto the avenue, Shen Enlai could detect the gaze that fell on them with a dodge, and the unreal whispers in the distance made her feel irritated.
Shen Enlai was about to stop a passing student to ask for an explanation, when his hand was stretched out when he was interrupted by a shout.
"Master Shen." It's Li Yunheng.
Everyone in Class 6 stopped, and Li Yunheng and Bai Xianqi ran towards them.
"Where are you going?" Bai Xianqi looked at the people of the sixth class who were neatly and completely missing Wen Xingxing, and a doubt swirled in his heart. He asked the people of Class 6.
"Go to the dean and ask for justice." Chen Zhenmin is categorical.
As soon as Chen Zhenmin's words fell, Shen Enlai clearly saw that Li Yunheng and Bai Xianqi's faces had changed. Shen Enlai had a gut feeling that something might have happened when they were in class six.
