Fate of the Stupid Son Chapter 109

Song Wangyue hooked her finger at Gu Yi, who groped her way over quietly.

The excitement in his eyes couldn’t be suppressed! How exciting it would be to steal something!

“Wanna go?”

Song Wangyue asked, lowering her voice.

Gu Yi’s head nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Song Wangyue nudged towards Song Si’s side, signalling for him to go and persuade.

Gu Yi glanced back at Song Si and hesitated. He was fine to fool ordinary people, but he didn’t have the guts to fool Song Si.

“If big brother doesn’t agree, none of us can go.”

How could he not go? This was the first time he had done something so exciting, so Gu Yi picked up a bowl of herbal tea and finished it with a gulp, emboldened himself and went to sit next to Song Si “as if he was dying”.

“Brother, this is the only thing that can prove your innocence. If you don’t get it back, you won’t be able to get rid of your reputation as a thief for the rest of your life.”

What did Song Si not know? But if they were really allowed to steal, all his years of reading sage books would have been in vain.

“We have no choice but to do this, we’re not doing anything treacherous or evil. Think about it, when word gets out that you stole the jade pendant, how will the family still be able to go out?”

“A gentleman does something, and stealing the key back is something. We’re not doing it for our own selfish reasons, we’re doing it to clear up a false accusation, I don’t see anything wrong with that.”

Song Wangyue quietly gave a thumbs up to Gu Yi.

Gu Yi saw it and his eyebrows immediately arched, picking up again, “We also have no choice but to do this, but whenever we have a good method, we wouldn’t use the trick. Oh, no, there is another method, which is to make the other party lionize us, and we give as much silver as he wants.”

“No!”

Song Si spoke up.

Gu Yi spread his two, “Then we can only go and steal.”

The word “steal” had always been abhorred by Song Si.

The Song family’s teaching since childhood was to be clean and self-reliant, so even though Song Xiao often hung out in the county, he had never done anything to steal.

Now that Gu Yi had said it in such a grand manner, his heart rippled – he had remembered all the sage books he had read, and he had not forgotten his family’s teachings, but none of these could clear him of the false accusation.

Only by “stealing” the key mould could he clear his name of theft and return to the academy, so that his family would not be dragged along with him.

His grip on his knee tightened for a long time before he managed to squeeze out a word, “Yes.”

Gu Yi was so happy that he almost jumped up, his mouth grinning to the back of his head, and stood up in fear that Song Si would back out, “Wait a moment, I’ll give the order.”

……

The old man Zhang took the carriage to the entrance of the school.

The watchman knew him and treated him with respect. Hearing that he was looking for the dean, he darted off to report to him and returned in a short while to lead him in personally.

“The dean.”

Master Zhang bowed archly.

The dean could not guess the intention of his sudden visit, and after returning the salute, he invited him to sit down and asked tentatively, “Master Zhang is here today ……”

There was no one else in the dean’s house, just the two of them, so Master Zhang didn’t beat around the bush and said bluntly, “I’m here today to ask the dean for a favour.”

“Go ahead.”

Master Zhang did not open his mouth, but sighed first, “My daughter is looking for death at home and wants to marry Song Si, I would like to ask Dean to help me with a matchmaker. Don’t worry, I won’t let you do this matchmaking for nothing, I’ll definitely have a big thank you after it’s done, and ah ……”

The president suspected that his ears had been misheard and interrupted him before he could finish his sentence, “Wait, who did Master Zhang say he wanted me to matchmake?”

“Song Si.”

The dean heard him clearly. He wanted to greet Master Zhang’s eight generations of ancestors!

Who in this county doesn’t know what kind of virtue your Zhang family’s young lady is? How dare you try to give Song Si such a crooked girl?

I am a teacher, not a matchmaker.”

As if he did not hear the coldness of his tone, Master Zhang said, “Dean, listen to me, Song Si stole my family’s jade pendant, if word gets out, his life will be ruined. The dean has not made this matter public, nor has he reported it to the government, and he still retains his talent, isn’t that because he treasures it? As long as he has promised to marry Yao’er, I will help him clarify this matter.”

“How does Master Zhang want to help him clarify?”

“Just say that the heirloom jade pendant was given to him by Yao’er in private, and that our family didn’t know about it, which led to this misunderstanding, and that he didn’t say anything for the sake of Yao’er’s reputation.”

The dean could not wait to spit in his face. It was not enough that he had framed Song Si once, but he wanted to frame him a second time, giving it to a fool.

But he was the dean of the school, the role model for all students, he could not do that, “Master Zhang, I am sorry I cannot do anything about this, after Song Si’s accident, I expelled him from the school, I am afraid he now hates me to the bone, you should find someone else.”

“Dean ……”

“I have things to do, if Master Zhang has nothing else to do, please go back.”

It was the first time Master Zhang had been rejected so unmercifully.

Unable to lose face, but unable to get angry, he came out of the study with a sullen face.

The coachman and the servants accompanying him felt his anger

intent, and waited carefully.

“Go back!”

The coachman hurriedly turned his horse around and carefully drove the carriage back.

Master Zhang’s was full of anger with no place to vent it.

When he arrived at the entrance of the palace, he had just gotten off the carriage and was about to walk angrily towards the palace when a man ran out from the diagonal, “Wait.”

Master Zhang stopped and looked at him unkindly, “Who are you?”

After the Song Lian man went home, he rummaged through his things again, not seeing anything of value, undeterred, he came back to the door of the Zhang house and waited.

When he saw Master Zhang move to get off the carriage, he rushed over without thinking.

“My name is Huang Si, I live two streets away, may I ask if you are Master Zhang?”

If it were in the past, Master Zhang would have patiently asked him what he wanted, but now he was in a bad mood and didn’t bother to pay attention to him, scolding the servant at the door, “Are they all eating for nothing? Even a dog or a cat can stop me at the door! ”

Huang Si had rushed out cold, and the watchman had no time to stop him.

Hearing Master Zhang’s words, the watchman broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly came over to pull Huang Si aside, “Get lost, even our master is not something you can just stop!”

Huang Si struggled, “I have something to see Master Zhang.”

As soon as they saw that he wouldn’t leave, they were afraid that if he provoked Master Zhang’s anger, they would be unlucky too. As they quickly came up to help, seeing that they were about to be pulled far away, Huang Si shouted urgently, “I’m here for those things thrown by the House, today the Song family’s people went to our house to look for them!”
