Chapter 37 You Are Threatening
Jiang Shuyuan bit her lip, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she still said firmly: "I saw it with my own eyes, isn't that enough? The two of them were hugging and kissing in the woods, and their behavior was intimate. I can guarantee that there is absolutely nothing innocent between them."
Shangguan Zhengming snorted coldly and said, "Seeing is not necessarily believing, and hearing is not necessarily believing. Just relying on your one-sided words is not enough for me to believe. Moreover, Xiao Wen and Zhang Anjie are both students of the Imperial Academy. If they really did this, I will naturally deal with it impartially. But you are defaming their innocence now, isn't it damaging their reputation?"
At this time, Jiang Zhiyu came forward, looked at Jiang Shuyuan, and said pitifully: "Shangguan Siye, you don't know that there is some personal grudge between Jiang Shuyuan and me. She deliberately slandered Xiao Wen and ruined her reputation because of this. I beg you to be discerning and not let Xiao Wen be wronged."
Shangguan Zhengming frowned upon hearing this. He looked at Jiang Shuyuan, then at Jiang Zhiyu, and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Zhiyu, do you really have a personal grudge against Jiang Shuyuan?"
Jiang Zhiyu sniffed and said, "We had a feud because of competing for the championship of a poetry competition. Jiang Shuyuan has always held a grudge against her students. This time, she deliberately framed Xiao Wen just to get revenge!"
Then, he stared at Jiang Shuyuan angrily and said, "Jiang Shuyuan, if you want revenge, just target me. Why do you want to slander my roommate? Are you harming innocent people?"
"You're talking nonsense! I clearly..." Jiang Shuyuan's voice trembled, and a trace of indignation that was hard to conceal flashed in her eyes, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the whispers around her.
"Oh my! It turns out that Senior Sister Shuyuan deliberately framed Xiao Wen and Zhang Anjie because of her personal grudge with Jiang Zhiyu."
"Yeah, the two of them had some issues to begin with, and this time Jiang Shuyuan was really ruthless."
"Jiang Shuyuan has always been very low-key. I didn't expect that she would do something like this this time."
The students' discussions surged like a tide, and Jiang Shuyuan's face became paler and paler. She bit her lips tightly, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.
"Jiang Shuyuan, why don't you speak? Are you feeling guilty?" Jiang Zhiyu sneered.
Jiang Shuyuan took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calm: "Jiang Zhiyu, you misunderstood. I never thought of framing Xiao Wen and Zhang Anjie, let alone any personal grudge. I am just stating the facts. Xiao Wen and Zhang Anjie did do something wrong."
However, her explanation seemed pale and powerless in the eyes of everyone, and the discussion became even more heated.
"Jiang Shuyuan, are you trying to quibble?"
"That's right, she's clearly guilty!"
"Jiang Shuyuan, do you have anything else to say?"
Facing everyone's doubts, Jiang Shuyuan's expression became more and more painful. She clenched her fists tightly and her face twisted a little.
Stealing the chicken is losing the rice!
This time, we really hit a snag!
Jiang Zhiyu, I admit defeat, but I will never give in. Just wait and see!
Thinking of this, Jiang Shuyuan walked away without looking back. Before leaving, she did not forget to glare at Feng Qingzhou who was standing beside her.
Feng Qingzhou had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill!
That girl Jiang Zhiyu has the upper hand over her, how could she dare not cooperate?
The farce was over. Shangguan Zhengming drove back those students who came with high hopes but left disappointed, and told Jiang Zhiyu and the others to go back to their dormitories and sleep early, and not to review too late in the back mountain, as it was not safe!
Jiang Zhiyu nodded obediently and watched Shangguan Zhengming leave.
"Master Feng!" Jiang Zhiyu suddenly called out to Feng Qingzhou who was about to leave.
Feng Qingzhou paused, frowned slightly, turned to look at Jiang Zhiyu, and said impatiently: "Jiang Zhiyu, what else do you want? I've already helped you!"
Jiang Zhiyu looked calm as he walked up to Feng Qingzhou, smiled slightly, and said, "Feng Qingzhou, you should be grateful to me for what happened today."
Feng Qingzhou heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by dissatisfaction. He sneered: "Thank you? Jiang Zhiyu, are you mocking me?"
Jiang Zhiyu shook his head gently and said, "No, no. If I hadn't shown up in time today, you would have been in trouble. Have you forgotten what kind of situation you would face if your secret was really leaked?"
Feng Qingzhou's face changed slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. He took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Jiang Zhiyu, are you threatening me?"
Jiang Zhiyu smiled lightly and said, "Feng Qingzhou, you should understand that I didn't mean that. I just wanted to let you know that I helped you a lot today."
The dissatisfaction in Feng Qingzhou's heart was like a fire, burning more and more vigorously, but he could not vent it. He knew that what Jiang Zhiyu said was true.
Jiang Zhiyu smiled and said, "Feng Qingzhou, do you understand? I can keep this secret, and I can also make it public. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."
Feng Qingzhou's face became paler and paler. He stared at Jiang Zhiyu closely, with a look of doubt in his eyes. He originally thought that Jiang Zhiyu was just an ordinary Huang class disciple, but he didn't expect that she would dare to threaten him like this. He took a deep breath, trying to calm down the shock in his heart, and slowly said: "Jiang Zhiyu, you are playing with fire and getting burned."
Jiang Zhiyu smiled lightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "Feng Qingzhou, do you think I'm threatening you? Actually, I just want you to know that I'm not someone you can easily mess with. And, I'm doing this for your own good."
Feng Qingzhou sneered: "For my own good? Do you think I will believe your lies?"
Jiang Zhiyu restrained his smile and looked at Feng Qingzhou seriously: "Believe it or not. But I want to remind you that if something goes wrong with Huang Ban, it will not only affect you, but also the reputation of the entire Imperial College. What do you think will happen to you then?"
Feng Qingzhou's expression became even uglier, and he couldn't help but start weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
Jiang Zhiyu's words were not alarmist. If something really happened, he would not only lose his position as the head of the hall, but he might even be expelled from the Imperial College and his reputation would be ruined.
After a moment of silence, Feng Qingzhou finally spoke: "Jiang Zhiyu, what do you want?"
Jiang Zhiyu smiled slightly: "It's very simple. As long as you promise not to steal again, not to cause trouble for the Huang class, and not to let the people from the Xuan class come to bully us, I won't tell your secret."
Feng Qingzhou clenched his fists, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that this was his only chance. If he did not agree, he would face great risks.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I promise you."
Jiang Zhiyu looked at Feng Qingzhou, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. It seemed that he had successfully controlled Feng Qingzhou.
Feng Qingzhou was extremely unwilling in his heart. He stared at Jiang Zhiyu and secretly swore in his heart that one day, he would make Jiang Zhiyu pay the price.
He showed a fake smile on his face, biting his back teeth and said, "Jiang Zhiyu, I hope you will keep your promise."
Jiang Zhiyu smiled gently: "Don't worry, since I said it, I will do it."
