A life of clearness

Chapter 169: Is it a dream? Or not? Transformed into a butterfly (XI)

On the third day, Rong Qing entered the classroom carrying a book box.

All the students were present. Zhong Xiu was the shortest, so she sat at the front. Zhou Jiying behind her also looked very well behaved, smiling at Rong Qing.

The room was very quiet, but Rong Qing always felt that it was the calm before the storm. When she opened the bookcase, a white butterfly flew out, landed on the desk, and slowly flapped its wings a few times.

The girls' attention was attracted by the beautiful white butterfly.

Rong Qing waved her hand, and the white butterfly flapped its wings again and flew out of the window and disappeared.

"This butterfly was transformed by my Heart-shaped Forbidden Mark..." Rong Qing thought to herself, "It seems that this illusion is probably caused by Ah Xiu's memory. The Heart-shaped Forbidden Mark is the connection that caused me to enter a memory that does not belong to me."

However, the appearance of the white butterfly is actually a good thing.

Because, the Heart-shaped Forbidden Law is her power. When only her consciousness is clear, the Heart-shaped Forbidden Law, which is directly controlled by her mind, is Rong Qing's weapon!

Rong Qing thought so, looked around at the students, then knelt down and started today's class.

When it came to the calligraphy practice part, the students took out their pen curtains from their book boxes.

Zhong Xiu also reached into his cloth bag to take out a pen.

At this moment, a scream was heard.

"Sir!" Zhou Jiying looked at Rong Qing aggrievedly, "Ying'er's mountain lake phoenix head carved golden rabbit is gone."

Rong Qing: “…” She was not surprised at all.

Although framing someone for theft is a mean thing, it is very useful in school. If a student loses his moral character, then his academic excellence is equivalent to being wasted.

"Then you can change to another pen and practice calligraphy first." Rong Qing said calmly.

Zhou Jiying was stunned, obviously not expecting Rong Qing to say that.

"Sir." The second daughter of the Zhou family stood up, crossed her hands and raised them horizontally to Rong Qing, and bowed, "I love this pen very much. Even when my study partner wants to touch it, I am very careful. Now it is gone. If you say it is lost, the possibility is a little low. I think maybe one of my classmates saw it and was very happy to take it to enjoy it but forgot to tell me."

Zhou Jiling glanced at Zhou Jiying with a smile, "I didn't expect Ying'er to be frightened." Then he said, "Sir, I think it would be better if we let this student return the pen after class. This way, the friendship between classmates will not be damaged."

"Second sister, it's obviously..." Zhou Jiying pouted unwillingly.

But Zhou Jiling interrupted her directly, "Ying'er, why bother thinking so much. Are you going to search the students' book boxes?"

“That’s not impossible…” Zhou Jiying muttered softly.

"Please make the decision, sir." Zhou Jiling bent down and waited.

Rong Qing thought, you have already arranged everything, what else can I do?
Her eyes moved back and forth between the sisters Zhou Jiling and Zhou Jiying: She originally thought that this was an idea that Zhou Jiying came up with alone, but she didn't expect that there was someone else who cooperated with her.

If Rong Qing hadn't played by the rules, Zhou Jiling wouldn't have jumped out to fight in person. Rong Qing's eyes swept over the other two girls imperceptibly. Did the other young ladies of the Zhou family know...

However, since the Zhou sisters are determined to punish Zhong Xiu, they will probably have to go back to searching his body and bag. This school is either a member of the Zhou family or a child who wants to curry favor with the Zhou family. It is too easy to find the pen from Zhong Xiu. "Since Ling'er has thought so carefully, let's do it this way." Rong Qing replied, "Now, everyone, concentrate on practicing calligraphy. If I find any small moves, I will punish you with a ruler."

"Yes, sir." The girls answered in unison.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiying had no choice but to pick out a pen from the pen curtain and start practicing calligraphy.

On the other side, Zhou Jiling relaxed her tense body and returned to her kneeling position. Her face was calm, but the corners of her lips were slightly curved, and it was obvious that she was very proud.

The action just now was just a retreat to advance. She said that a classmate took it for fun, but everyone present could tell that one of them had stolen it. She would spread the news to the whole class. If the pen was really found from Zhong Xiu, it would be the final word. No matter how much the teacher liked Zhong Xiu, there would be no way back.

Even if the teacher hinted to Zhong Xiu to check his cloth bag, it would be useless because the pen was still in Ying'er's sleeve while she was studying with him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jiying picked up her pen and wrote down the small characters of "hairpin flower" on the plain paper.

There were only slight and fragmentary noises in the classroom for a while.

The girls knelt behind the desks one by one. Each desk was quite far away from the others. This way, even if someone stole something and wanted to move it... their movements would be very obvious.

Therefore, Rong Qing felt that it must be hidden on Zhou Jiying or Zhou Jiling, or... on the person who searched Zhong Xiu. As long as they blocked other people's sight and took out a pen to show that it was found on Zhong Xiu, Zhong Xiu would have no way to defend himself.

"I, Rong, have also watched a few palace fighting dramas." Rong Qing sighed in her heart. She always felt that she had taken the emperor's script. Even if she knew it was a conspiracy between concubines, she couldn't easily intervene. She could only watch the noble concubines of her mother's family frame the little white flower beauty who was born in a commoner family.

As long as everyone present has a preference, the fake can become real.

"…What a mess this is. Humph." Rong Qing couldn't possibly allow the Zhou sisters to slander Zhong Xiu like this.

Since Zhou Jiying and the others wanted to wait until after class, Rong Qing insisted on taking the initiative.

Without Zhou Jiying harassing Zhong Xiu from behind, Zhong Xiu obviously copied the manuscript much faster.

"A Xiu." With Rong Qing's soft call, Zhong Xiu was called to her desk.

Several people had come to hand in their homework and listen to Rong Qing's comments. Because of this incident, they all went back very seriously and came back one by one, fearing that they were missing something, or... extra something.

Rong Qing looked at Zhong Xiu's newly written words, "There is progress, much better than yesterday's."

"But your bookstore has been very busy recently, and your parents are counting on you to go back and help out for a while." Rong Qing smiled, "So you're just going home temporarily for a while, and you can come back to class in a few days."

Rong Qing put emphasis on "temporarily", but Zhong Xiu's eyes still turned red.

Zhong Xiu was still young and did not understand Rong Qing's hint. She only knew that the teacher suspected that she had done it and asked her to go home to save the school's reputation. She felt extremely wronged.

"Teacher, I believe it was not you who did it." Rong Qing said to Zhong Xiu gently, and then looked at the students in front of her, "Zhong Xiu will go home to help for a while, and will come back to take classes with you after a while."

"Zhong Xiu originally went back home after the morning class. I didn't expect this to happen. To avoid your suspicion..." Rong Qing said slowly, "Whether it's a bag search or a body search, you can do it openly."
