The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny

"Lu Qinghui! What are you doing?"

When Ye Minzhi heard the rumor and was about to find Guo Zhi to find out the truth, she saw Guo Zhi with food splashed all over her. Everyone would be afraid of Lu Yunyanshi's identity, but she was not, not to mention that she was just a concubine's daughter.

The pot full of vegetables was splashed over, mainly onto Guo Zhi. Although the classmates next to her were splashed a little, it was just a small matter.

"Guo Zhi, are you okay?" The classmate next to her didn't care about himself and turned to see Guo Zhi's condition.

After Guo Zhi was splashed, she was unable to react for a moment and stood there with her eyes closed, not moving.

The food and soup residue flowed down her face, and her classmate hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief. Just after wiping a small part, he saw an area of ​​skin that was directly burned red.

"Ah! Your skin is burned!" the classmate exclaimed, and a large red mark appeared on the fair skin.

"Lu Qinghui, just wait and see!" Ye Minzhi left a harsh remark and immediately went to Guo Zhi to help wipe off the stains on her body.

Seeing that Guo Zhi's face seemed to be left with scars, he said, "Let's go to my room first. I have burn medicine and scar removal medicine there."

As he said that, he led Guo Zhi and the other two to his room. Before leaving, he did not forget to shout, "If any of you want to bully Guo Zhi, you must ask me, Ye Minzhi, first! Shut your mouths tightly. If I hear rumors again before the truth comes out, don't blame me for being rude."

Guo Zhi looked at Ye Minzhi with tears in her eyes. She had become accustomed to these things. After all, she had been bullied a lot in the village when she was a child. Now seeing Ye Minzhi caring about her so much, she couldn't help but sniffle in grievance.

Seeing Guo Zhi's appearance, Ye Minzhi thought that Guo Zhi was being bullied and was a little scared, so he protected her and walked into the house, saying, "Don't be afraid, she won't bully you anymore."

……

"Guo Zhi and Lu Qinghui had a conflict in the cafeteria?"

Madam Ying asked in disbelief. In her opinion, Guo Zhike was an obedient and well-behaved student who at most had his own personality. How could he conflict with others?

Moreover, the last time her embroidery was damaged by a heartless classmate, she accepted it quietly without pursuing the matter to the bottom of the matter. When she heard this now, she couldn't help but doubt the words of the person who came to report the news.

"Sir, don't listen to her nonsense. I witnessed the whole thing! It was Lu Qinghui who took the initiative to provoke Guo Zhi and threw the food directly at her face. Guo Zhi did not resist and there are still traces of burns on her face!"

After Ye Minzhi helped Guo Zhi apply the medicine, he immediately rushed to the room where the gentlemen were resting. Before he even stepped over the threshold, he spoke loudly.

Madam Ying looked at Ye Minzhi. She knew that she and Guo Zhi had always had a good relationship and were two of her most proud students. She said, "I can't believe everything you two say. I will find more classmates to understand the situation and make a judgment later."

……

Although Guo Zhi had some burns on her face, it did not affect her class, so she went out wearing the veil given by Ye Minzhi.

That class was Madam Ying's. She said, "I heard that an incident happened in the cafeteria today. After discussion among the teachers, it was decided that Lu Qinghui would be punished to copy the school rules five times within ten days and apologize to Guo Zhi."

Lu Qinghui stood up with a look of dissatisfaction. She was the daughter of Lu Yunyunshi, and yet she had to apologize to an unfilial and country girl. What was going on?

It was ridiculous that she had to bow to her elder sister at home and to Guo Zhi in the academy.

Madam Ying saw Lu Qinghui's expression clearly on the stage. She cleared her throat and said, "Students, this is a college. There is no distinction between high and low. Don't look down on others just because your parents have a better background than others."

Hearing this, Lu Qinghui's face turned pale. She knew that Ying Niangzi was pointing a finger at her, so she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm sorry, Guo Zhi, it's my fault. I shouldn't have thrown food at you under any circumstances."

Guo Zhi nodded without saying anything. Seeing Lu Qinghui's expression, she guessed that the damage to the embroidery was probably caused by her.

Seeing that Lu Qinghui also apologized, Madam Ying said, "Recently, there have been some rumors in the academy. This is extremely bad behavior. As a gentleman, you should be open and honest. Are the rumors outside true or false? What is the intention of the person who said these things?"

"In short, the rumors about Guo Zhi will end from today onwards, and they must not be mentioned again!"

……

Rest day.

As usual, Guo Zhi went to Shunan Hotpot Restaurant. On normal days, her elder sister would wait for her here and go back to the village with her.

But when she walked to the usual place, she didn't see her second sister, only a carriage parked there, which made her very confused.

"Guo Zhi!" In the distance, Liu You jumped off the carriage and shouted.

"Why are you here? Where is my sister?" Guo Zhi asked.

Liu You smiled mysteriously and said, "I won't go back to the village today. I'll take you to a good place."

Guo Zhi was puzzled, but out of trust in Liu You, she still got on the carriage.

After lifting the curtain, I saw that the carriage had turned countless corners in the city and stopped in front of a small alley. The alley was quiet, but it looked familiar, as if it was where the elders of the gentlemen in the academy lived.

Liu You said: "We're here!"

After saying that, he walked to the carriage, put a stool on the ground, held his hand in the air, and helped Guo Zhi get off the carriage.

"Zhi'er, this is the location of your new house. Sister Guo Xin bought it not long ago. I originally wanted to bring you all home to share in the good fortune, but then I thought about your tight academic schedule, so I gave up the idea."

Guo Zhi looked around and found the surroundings very quiet and elegant, with a faint fragrance in her nose. She said, "This place is really nice. Has the eldest sister moved in?"

Liu You nodded and said, "She moved here some time ago and has been busy in the city with Sister Guo Xin for ten days. The village affairs have been gradually handed over to my brother and others. By the way, how are you doing in the academy? Are you happy?"

Guo Zhi bit her lip and said nothing, but her eyes were a little red.

"Hey, why don't you speak?" Liu You, who was walking in front, felt something was wrong and looked back.

Seeing that Guo Zhi's expression was a little strange, he asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy in the academy?"

When Guo Zhi heard the caring voice, she could no longer hold back and sobbed softly.

Liu You was a little flustered. This was the first time he saw a girl crying in front of him, and she was his favorite girl. He wanted to reach out and hug her, but was trapped by the etiquette. He looked at her helplessly and said dryly: "If you encounter anything in the academy, you can tell us and we will help you!"
