Jiang Mushi walked quickly to Jiang Suining's side, "What's wrong?"

As he spoke, he looked at the students in front of him vigilantly. Could it be that they were looking for trouble with Jiang Suining?

"It's okay." Jiang Suining reached out and pulled Jiang Mushi back.

It was only then that Jiang Mushi discovered that there was someone behind Jiang Suining.

He looked to be about the same age as him, but he was very thin, wearing simple coarse cloth clothes, and his face was covered with scars and dirt. He did not look like a student of this academy.

"Who are you?" Jiang Mushi asked.

The other party glanced at Jiang Mushi, but did not speak immediately.

Instead, the students surrounding Jiang Suining started to sneer.

"He is a wild boy picked up by the school janitor. Oh, no, he is our classmate now."

As they spoke, several people burst into laughter again.

"The wild boy also wanted to go to school, and he even won the teacher's favor and sat in the same study with us. If you tell others about it, it would be so funny that people would die."

Jiang Suining looked at them and asked, "So this is why you beat him?"

"No way?" The tallest boy among the group raised his chin contemptuously, "How dare he sit with us? This is simply a humiliation to us!"

"That's right. Why should he be with us?"

"that is!"

The remaining few people immediately echoed him, and their words and expressions were full of contempt for the young man.

Jiang Suining frowned. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when she just came in, she saw these people surrounding the young man and beating him on the ground. Their boots even stepped on his face. This kind of bullying was really too much.

Looking at the arrogant looks of the people in front of him, Jiang Suining spoke slowly.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry. It turns out that this academy was opened by a few families. I just don't know who owns it specifically?"

When they heard Jiang Suining's words, they were stunned for a moment.

"Who told you that this academy is opened by us?"

"If not, then how can you decide who can study in this academy?" Jiang Suining glanced around and looked at the few people up and down. "After all, you don't look like you are mentally ill and have delusions."

"Puchi", Jiang Mushi couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Hearing Jiang Suining's words and Jiang Mushi's laughter, several people's faces suddenly turned dark.

"It seems like you guys want to help this poor guy out!"

"Why should I take the lead? I just have some questions in my mind, so I want to clarify them." Jiang Suining said calmly.

Jiang Mushi roughly understood the whole story. He looked at the young man again and found that the dirt on his face looked like shoe prints. He suddenly felt a little unfair.

"Even if we want to stand out, so what?" Jiang Mushi retracted his gaze and looked at the others, "Do you want to kick us out of the academy together? That would be exactly what I want!"

After blurting out the last sentence, Jiang Mushi suddenly reacted and glanced at Jiang Suining.

Jiang Suining had just said those words to him not long ago. Now he said that he couldn't ask for more. Would Jiang Suining think that he had given up on continuing his studies?

After hesitating for a moment, thinking about the people in front of him, Jiang Mushi felt that now was not a good time to explain.

No, why should he explain to Jiang Suining!

Thinking of this, Jiang Mushi quickly retracted his gaze and continued to look at the people in front of him.

The tall boy frowned and stared at Jiang Mushi and Jiang Suining with dissatisfaction. He was about to speak when the boy next to him tugged at his sleeve and whispered.

"They seem to be from the Jiang family, the same Jiang family that does the silk business."

Jiang Mushi heard this and snorted, "Why, you don't dare to mess with us because we are from the Jiang family? You really are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of several people suddenly became even uglier.

Although they were angry, their families had more or less reminded them that there were some families in the academy that were best not to provoke.

With a final grit of teeth, under the leadership of the tall young man, several people turned their ferocious eyes to the young man behind Jiang Suining.

"Don't think that the matter is over. You'd better get out of the academy obediently, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"

After making the threat, he turned and left.

Jiang Suining looked at the backs of several people, frowned slightly, and then looked at the young man behind him.

"What's your name?"

"Chu Wei." The young man bowed to Jiang Suining and Jiang Mushi, "Thank you, Miss, Master."

"Since you are a student of the academy, there is no reason for you to call us young lady or young master. My name is Jiang Suining, and he is my younger brother, Jiang Mushi."

"I know." Chu Wei nodded.

"Do you know us?" Jiang Mushi asked.

"I was doing odd jobs in the backyard before. Master Jiang, you... I saw you when you climbed over the wall in the backyard to skip class."

And since she knew Young Master Jiang and saw him coming over just now, it was not difficult to guess Miss Jiang's identity.

"Well, um, I don't always skip classes." Jiang Mushi regretted asking this question.

Chu Wei smiled silently.

"Why did they have to make things difficult for you, just because you used to do chores in the backyard?"

Jiang Suining looked at the other person as he spoke. He had delicate features and fair complexion. Although he had just been humiliated, his expression had recovered by now. It was just that the injuries on his face looked a little obvious, and it seemed that they were new and old injuries superimposed on each other.

"The tallest of those people is Wu Song, the young master of the Wu family in the east of the city. I heard that his father promised him that if he could win first place in the academy assessment in half a month, he would give him three shops. But recently, the teacher has been inspecting my studies, and I... have performed better than him."

"Aren't you doing odd jobs in the academy? Have you been to school before?" Jiang Mushi asked curiously.

Chu Wei shook his head, "No, I just know how to read, and if I have free time after work, I will go outside the abode to listen."

"So you can get first place?" Jiang Mushi's tone was full of surprise.

Feeling Jiang Suining's gaze towards him, Jiang Mushi touched his nose and said, "Don't look at me like that. I'm just too lazy to learn."

Jiang Suining didn't say anything, and spoke to Chu Wei again: "So he wants to force you to drop out of school to prevent you from taking the first place?"

She glanced at Chu Wei's hands inconspicuously. There were many calluses on his palms. It looked like he had been doing odd jobs for a long time. This should be true.

However, if he could hope to get first place in the exam just by attending classes during his free time at work, either he was not telling the truth, or the boy in front of him was really a good student.

Chu Wei nodded, but after thinking about it, he shook his head.

Jiang Mushi was confused. "What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?"
