How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 222 That little brat has been lying to us all along.

At noon, Mrs. Han waited and waited, but Dean Han didn't return. She then called the housekeeper over. "Go and see if the master has lost track of time again while answering the students' questions?"

"Yes."

A moment later, the butler returned. "Madam, there are no students with the master, but he says he's not hungry."

"How could he not be hungry? He's so old and still doesn't take care of his health. Wang Ma, serve the master his food."

"Yes."

Just as Dean Han was wondering if the Qian family had put the letter in the wrong envelope, Mrs. Han pushed open the door and walked in, carrying a food box. "Sir, how could you forget the doctor's words again?"

Upon seeing Mrs. Han arrive, Dean Han immediately recounted Wei Liefeng's situation. Afterward, he took out the letter from Xiaogou Sheng. "Tell me," he said, "did the Qian family's child secretly slip his drawing inside when the adults weren't looking?"

Mrs. Han rolled her eyes inwardly. Her husband was good in every way, except he was a bit stubborn. "Since the Duke of Jin says the Qian family didn't help Young Master Wei cheat, then you should test him. If he can answer, then he's exceptionally intelligent. If he can't, then have his uncle take him back."

“He definitely can’t answer that. He used to skip classes a lot when he was studying at the clan school, and he hasn’t studied properly since he came to our academy.”

While setting the table, Mrs. Han asked, "How did you know he often skipped classes at the clan school?"

“His uncle said so. That’s why his uncle sent him to our academy.”

"You believe what his uncle says? It's not hard to test him anyway. Okay, go eat, I'll have someone call him over."

“Brother Wei wouldn’t lie to me. He was also surprised to hear that he got first place.”

Mrs. Han rolled her eyes inwardly again. "Maybe he doesn't know either. Okay, it's settled then."

After saying that, Mrs. Han asked Dean Han's servant to go and call Wei Liefeng.

Wei Liefeng was eating in the canteen.

Dean Han's attendant told him that Dean Han was looking for him.

Wei Liefeng picked up the tray and followed the servant.

As soon as he left, the other students started talking about it:
"Do you think the dean wants to get rid of him?"

"Definitely. How could he possibly pass the preliminary examination? And be the top student at that."

“That’s right, our academy has never produced anyone like this before.”

……

On the other side, Wei Liefeng placed the plate on the table and bowed to Dean Han and his wife.

"Hello, Dean. Hello, Madam. Dean, you wanted to see me?"

"Hmm. Didn't you get first place? I want to see how far you can go on the path of studying. I have a few questions for you."

"Okay." Their dean is really good at keeping his composure. He thought that the dean would come to him as soon as the results came out.

Dean Han asked a question casually, and Wei Liefeng answered it immediately.

Dean Han paused for a moment and asked a rather difficult question, which Wei Liefeng answered correctly.

Dean Han: "..." Could it be that he really got the top score himself? "Let me ask you another question."

"it is good."

Dean Han asked ten questions in a row, and Wei Liefeng answered them all. "Your teacher said you often sleep in class."

"Once I've learned it, I don't want to listen to them repeating it over and over again."

Previously, he thought he was fighting alone and dared not let others know that he was good at studying.

Now that he knows his grandfather is protecting him, he no longer needs to pretend and dares to let others know that he is very talented.

Dean Han: "..." How are those students who study late into the night supposed to feel about this? "Your uncle said you often skipped school when you were studying at the clan school." "I couldn't sit still once I learned something."

"Although you are naturally intelligent, you still can't slack off. Everyone who can pass the imperial examination is smarter than others. It won't be easy for you to stand out among the successful candidates."

"I see? Then I'll work harder in the future."

"Okay. Now you can go back and eat."

"Yes." Wei Liefeng bowed to Dean Han and his wife and then left with his tray.

Mrs. Han placed the chopsticks in Dean Han's hand. "Can you eat in peace now?"

"Why didn't I think of testing him? I'm dumber than a pig."

Mrs. Han nodded inwardly. "You've been misled by Uncle Wei. You eat, I'm going back."

On the other side, the students were surprised to see Wei Liefeng back.

One of the students couldn't resist moving his tray next to Wei Liefeng. "Young Master Wei, what does the dean want with you?"

Wei Liefeng smiled and said, "You're praising me for bringing honor to our academy."

The students: "..." This guy is definitely trying to save face.

"Young Master Wei, are you planning to study in the capital? I've heard that the academies in the capital have many books."

"No, I'm not going. I want to stay here and bring honor to our academy."

The students: "..." This kid actually didn't follow their lead. Could it be that this kid really wants to stay in their academy and ruin their reputation?
The students wanted to go to Dean Han, but they didn't dare.

Meanwhile, after finishing his meal, Dean Han called over the two tutors who had taught Wei Liefeng. "Wei Liefeng didn't cheat; I passed his test."

"Really?" The two teachers were somewhat skeptical.

"Of course it's true. You can test him if you don't believe me."

When Wei Liefeng arrived, Dean Han told them that Wei Liefeng didn't like studying, and after arriving, he acted like he was just there to coast through. The two teachers never even considered testing him.

Dean Han looked at the two teachers and said, "That child is very smart, you two should pay more attention to him."

"We understand, we're going out."

"Ah."

After they left, Dean Han put away the letter that Xiaogou Sheng had written to him and then went out.

Wei Da was checking the accounts when the butler came in and said that Dean Han had arrived. Wei Da had a bit of a headache.

After Wei Da welcomed Dean Han in, he was about to say that he hadn't yet spoken to the Duke of Jin when Dean Han looked at him and smiled, "Brother Wei, you should take good care of your nephew."

Wei Da was a little confused. "Brother Han, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."

Dean Han explained in detail how he had tested Wei Liefeng. "With your nephew's aptitude, passing the provincial examination is no problem. If you can properly supervise him, passing the imperial examination is also possible. You can't let him study whenever he wants and play whenever he wants anymore."

Wei Da was both shocked and furious. He was shocked that Wei Liefeng's talent was so high, and furious that Wei Liefeng dared to lie to them.

Dean Han, seeing that he wasn't saying anything, assumed he was just too happy. "Brother Wei, you need to keep a closer eye on your nephew."

Wei Da forced a smile. "I know. Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on him."

Dean Han stayed for a while longer before taking his leave.

As soon as he left, Wei Da called Wei Er and Wei San over. Wei Da recounted what had just happened. "That little brat has been lying to us the whole time."

Wei Er: "Damn it! What do we do now?"

Wei San: "We can't let him continue taking the exam."
