Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Looking at the scene in front of him, Shen Nankui couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

Gu Yichuang has studied for many years, from a child to a successful candidate in the imperial examination. He knows very well how precious it is to receive such friendship from students.

This shows that Shen Nankui’s efforts are respected and recognized by students.

That is why they are willing to go against their parents and do their utmost to protect their teachers.

He felt proud and pleased for his wife, and couldn't help but whispered, "Nan Kui, you see, the students understand your hard work."

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "I never thought that there would be such a day."

These kids are quite surprising.

Gu Yichuan stared at her, "I have a feeling that your world is definitely not just this small private school in Lai'an Town, Nankui, you will go further."

Shen Nankui was amused by this remark and burst out laughing.

"You are the one who is going to raise a family and build a career. I am still waiting to become the wife of the top scholar. Why do you sound like you are pointing at me to make a name for myself?"

Gu Yichuan also smiled, his pair of tender eyes filled with that gentle figure.

"I mean, you're really good."

The two of them held hands secretly, their thoughts flowing through their fingertips.

This action of the students today also made everyone feel deeply moved.

Although Yang Ze's parents were annoyed that their son had secretly run out and even brought students here to disrupt the meeting, they felt a little proud when they saw that their son dared to be the first and could explain things clearly and logically in front of so many people, and that he really had a trace of the character of a scholar.

In fact, they all felt that their sons had changed a lot after they went back to private school.

Compared to before, at home, he is more filial to his parents, friendly to his younger siblings, and actively teaches them to read and be sensible. Outside, he is not as naughty as before, and has become generous, steady, and handles things properly.

Moreover, he studied harder, and the two of them often saw him reading late into the night.

And all this is because of Shen Nankui’s teachings.

Yang Ze's parents looked at each other, and both felt deeply grateful, yet ashamed of their previous behavior.

Yang Ze's father bowed to the village head and fellow villagers.

"What my Ze'er said makes sense. Although I am a rough man, I have also heard that it is difficult to find a good teacher. Village head, everyone, please think twice!"

Soon, voices of agreement were heard one after another.

"I support Master Shen to continue teaching in the private school!"

"Me too!"

"My eldest grandson has become much more filial and sensible after studying in a private school. My granddaughter also wanted to go to school before, but I didn't agree. Later, after I asked her to go, she can now write and calculate, and her embroidery is also beautiful. She is much better than me. Master Shen is really doing this for the good of the children."

"Mr. Shen has done his best. It was us who made a mistake earlier. We shouldn't have locked up the private school."

……

The villagers became more and more enthusiastic as they spoke.

If it was Gu Yichuan and the head of the village who clarified the rumors and let them know the truth, then Shen Nankui's self-defense later made them witness her tenacity as a woman. As well as the story of Li Po's children and granddaughters, they couldn't help but start to reflect on why this world is so harsh on women?

Then the students showed up and completely shattered everyone's worries.

For the first time, they felt immense admiration for a woman.

They feel at ease to hand their child over to such a capable and courageous woman!

Wang Ping's face turned pale as he listened to the words.

He couldn't understand why a mere woman could be so bewitching and make everyone side with her?

Here it is, the students are.

Even the villagers changed from their initial disgust and opposition to conviction.

Seeing the looks on everyone's faces, Li Zheng showed a knowing smile. He raised his hands and pressed down, and then the voices of everyone gradually subsided.

"Fellow villagers, since everyone has no objection, I declare that Master Shen will continue to take over the private school, and the date of reopening will be decided by Master Shen himself."

Everyone applauded.

The students also cheered, and each of them had a happy smile on their face.

"Great, great!"

The atmosphere in front of the ancestral hall was harmonious. Wang Ping was dissatisfied, so he just said hello to the head of the village and left first.

As soon as he left, the countryman who had been looking after the stranger came back to report.

"Li Zheng, Mr. Gu, that man ran away!"

The village chief frowned, "What's going on?"

The two men looked ashamed. "We took him aside and were keeping a close eye on him, but... we heard people talking outside the ancestral hall and wanted to know what they were talking about, so we walked closer to listen. We were caught off guard and the man broke free from the rope and ran away. We tried to chase him but failed..."

The head of the village sighed helplessly, "Forget it, he is not from Lai'an Town in the first place, and we can't control him, so let him run away."

Gu Yichuan frowned, feeling a little uneasy, and said, "Village Chief, I think there's something wrong with that guy. Can you send someone to bring him back?"

Seeing that he looked serious, the village head nodded.

"The tone of that person's speech doesn't sound like that of a stranger who is just passing by and listening to gossip. Instead, it sounds like he is intentionally throwing dirty water on Master Shen. This kind of person with bad intentions should be arrested and interrogated."

He ordered several people to arrest the man.

At the ancestral hall, since the matter had come to an end, the village head asked everyone to disperse.

Liang went home with Gu Yichuan and his wife. She was very conscious and walked quickly in front of them to give the couple some space to talk.

The two held hands, and Shen Nankuiye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Gu Yichuan with a smile and said softly, "Yichuan, thank you for what you did for me today."

Gu Yichuan shook his head. "I just clarified the facts, but failed to change people's minds. It was you who earned their true respect by yourself."

"Anyway, if you hadn't taken the trouble to plan, I wouldn't have been able to gain everyone's understanding in one go."

"You are my wife, isn't it my duty to do this? Why should I thank you?"

Shen Nankui smiled sweetly, her heart filled with sweetness.

Looking at her blooming smile, Gu Yichuan paused and said, "Nan Kui, there is something I still want to give you."

"What?" Shen Nankui asked.

Gu Yichuan reached into his arms and took out the jade plum blossom hairpin that he always carried with him.

He said with some regret: "I know you don't like it, but when I see this hairpin, I can always think of your appearance. Can you put it on and let me take a look at it? Just one look will be enough. In the future, I will find you something you like more..."
