Generally speaking, anyone who abides by the rules will not enter the rockery without permission after seeing the notice.

But Song Ning forgot, is Cao Qianyu a rule-abiding person? Perhaps in the mind of that self-righteous woman, she is the one who makes the rules, and she naturally disdains to abide by other people's rules.

"This is actually an open conspiracy, specifically targeting those who think they are righteous."

"What do you mean?" Song Ning looked at Hang Shuheng seriously, waiting for his next words, his bright eyes full of curiosity.

Hang Shuheng was helpless. In order to satisfy her curiosity, he could only analyze the whole thing carefully for her.

The so-called open conspiracy is to tell you clearly that there is something fishy here, so don't go. Believe it or not.

A trap was set up inside the rockery, and a notice was posted to inform people not to trespass, otherwise they would bear the consequences.

Someone deliberately mentioned the mystery of the rockery in front of Cao Qianyu to arouse Cao Qianyu's curiosity, led her to the rockery, and then let her see the notice.

Cao Qianyu has always been willful and arrogant. When she saw such a notice, she must have been dissatisfied. Asking her to obey the rules obediently would be very humiliating. She believed that she should not be bound by any rules.

But she wanted to go in, but she was worried that she, a woman, might encounter danger if she went in.

Therefore, when she was hesitating, she asked someone to bring Mei Yaosheng over.

It was natural for Cao Qianyu to use Mei Yaosheng as a gun and let him go in first to explore the way. Only when she was sure that it was safe inside would she feel at ease to go in.

In order to show off in front of her, Mei Yaosheng naturally boasted about everything. He went in for a look around and came out to tell her that not only was there no danger at all, but the flowers and plants inside were also extremely beautiful.

So, the two self-righteous people ignored the notice and went in. As for accidentally touching the mechanism, that was all man-made.

Song Ning knew everything that happened afterwards.

The two men went deep into the rockery and stayed in the place where the flowers bloomed the most for a long time. They inhaled too much scent of flowers and plants and could not control themselves, so they started doing exercises that are not suitable for children on the spot.

Thinking of this, Hang Shuheng couldn't help laughing again. He was wondering, when Cao Qianyu and Mei Yaosheng did that thing, was it possible that they imagined their partner to be Zhou Ting?

I don’t know if Zhou Ting has thought about this. If he had, he would have felt so sick that he wouldn’t have been able to eat for three days.

Song Ning pondered for a long time. In her opinion, all these conspiracies and plots were too complicated. She didn't expect that a young man like Zhou Ting, who had just come of age, could play them to perfection.

Throughout this whole thing, if Cao Qianyu had followed the rules a little bit and not been so self-righteous, this would not have been successful.

But Zhou Ting is able to grasp people's hearts just right, which is really amazing.

Soon, Song Ning thought of something and suddenly looked up at Hang Shuheng, "You didn't participate in this, did you?"

Hang Shuheng touched his nose guiltily, cleared his throat, and said, "I just made some suggestions, but I didn't interfere with the rest."

It was he who proposed the use of open strategy.

Song Ning was silent. She shouldn't have asked. Her man was not a good person and was full of bad intentions.

After that, the two did not discuss the matter any further. Song Ning propped up his forehead and dozed off, and returned home in silence.

There was no need to wait until the next day before the scandal between Cao Qianyu and Mei Yaosheng was known to the whole city.

A few days later, Zhou Ru came to Shangtang Village and told Song Ning the rumors in the city as a joke.

It is said that after the chrysanthemum viewing banquet ended that day and everyone left the Chrysanthemum Garden, Xie Yuxi ordered his servants to notify Dean Cao and Master Mei to go to the Chrysanthemum Garden in person to pick up the people.

At the same time, they also demanded that the other party compensate for the flowers and plants that were crushed when the two of them were infatuated, totaling two thousand taels of silver.

As for how the two families educated their children after taking them back home, outsiders had no idea. However, this immoral thing spread like a gust of wind to every corner of the county in an instant.

As the president of Hongyuan Academy, Dean Cao should take teaching and educating as his responsibility, but now that his daughter has done such a shameful thing, how could his colleagues miss the opportunity to ridicule him.

The deans and teachers of various academies in the county, and even the parents of students currently studying at Hongyuan Academy, all accused him of not being able to educate their daughters properly. He said that if he couldn't even educate his own daughter properly, how could he teach and educate others?

In addition to the accusations, many families were unwilling to let their children continue to study at Hongyuan Academy and dropped out one after another.

After this incident happened, several teachers at Hongyuan Academy were also affected. Some proud teachers have already resigned from their positions as teachers to President Cao.

Because of the disturbance between the parents of the students and some teachers, the students in Hongyuan Academy were unable to study properly. The academy had to suspend classes temporarily and reopen its doors after President Cao dealt with the matter.

While Hongyuan Academy was in a state of gloom and unrest, the Mei family was happy to see the matter come to fruition and soon invited a matchmaker to propose marriage.

Today, the Mei family can only be regarded as a ruined merchant family. If they could marry President Cao's daughter, it would be considered as marrying above their station.

However, Dean Cao has always had high hopes for his daughter, hoping that she can marry into a wealthy family so that she can help the family in the future.

But now, everything has been ruined by the beast Mei Yaosheng. How could Dean Cao be willing to let the Mei family get their wish? When the matchmaker came to the door, he was beaten away.

But no matter how unwilling she is, it is of no use. With Cao Qianyu's current situation, she has lost her innocence and her reputation is ruined. What else can she do except marry Mei Yaosheng?

No matter how unwilling Dean Cao was, and no matter how reluctant Cao Qianyu was, under the circumstances that the Mei family persisted and sent matchmakers to propose marriage every day, it was unknown how the Mei family persuaded Dean Cao, or what conditions they agreed to, but the marriage was finally settled.

During this period, an extremely disgusting incident occurred. When Zhou Ru thought of that incident, her face turned unhappy.

The reason was that Cao Qianyu was unwilling to marry Mei Yaosheng, so she stopped Zhou Ting's carriage on the street and said to Zhou Ting in a condescending tone that as long as he went to Cao's house to propose marriage, she would be willing to marry him.

At that time, Zhou Ting almost vomited out the overnight meal, and he didn't care about gentlemanly etiquette anymore. He immediately mocked her and told her to go see a doctor if she was sick, instead of running around on the street and trying to pounce on every man she saw.
