The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Dean Ru Yan took the letter, opened the envelope, and read it quickly.

However, as time went on, everyone noticed that the dean's expression became increasingly ugly, and they couldn't help but become curious about what was written in the letter.

Some people couldn't help it, so they quietly approached Han Yun'an, hoping to find out something.

But as soon as he asked the question, Han Yun'an rolled his eyes.

God knows, why are you asking him? Does it say "he knows" on his face?

As for Xu Yi, there were few students in the academy who could talk to him on a normal day. Now that he was serious, no one dared to approach him and talk to him.

Xu Yi also noticed the change in the dean's expression and couldn't help but frown.

In a moment, the dean's face darkened. He held the letter in one hand and put the other hand behind his back. His eyes were dark. "Ms. Xu Qiao, are you sure this is the evidence you found?"

Qiao Xi laughed slowly and nodded, "Dean, this is indeed the evidence I found."

"Hmph!" The dean snorted coldly and handed the letter to the gentleman beside him. His voice was cold and said, "You guys take a look too."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were focused on the gentlemen again.

Unexpectedly, the reactions of the other gentlemen were not much different from that of the dean.

Especially the two gentlemen who had been very optimistic about Xu Yi before, their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.

Xu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he understood something, and then showed self-mockery on his face.

Thinking about how he almost strangled her to death and said he would torture her.

He was too naive to think that she would save him.

"Haha..." Yu Hongtao, who was standing among the students, seemed to understand something and suddenly burst into laughter.

Pointing at Xu Yi, he gloated, "Xu Yi, your sister-in-law probably has a grudge against you. She's not here to help you, she's clearly pushing you into the fire pit again."

After hearing his words, everyone started talking.

"Looking at the faces of the dean and the gentlemen, it really doesn't look like they are here to help Xu Yi."

"I think so, too. Alas, only women and villains are difficult to raise. The world is not deceiving me."

"She's not going to kill Xu Yi and take all the family property for herself, is she? That's a bit too cruel."

……

They were talking quite loudly, as if they were speaking deliberately for Qiao Xi to hear.

Everyone thought they would see Qiao Xi with a face full of shame, but she just had a smile on her face and looked calm.

Her voice was soft and pleasant. She looked at the dean and the others and asked, "What do you think of this evidence?"

Xu Yi's pupils shrank slightly and he looked at the dean.

The dean pursed his lips tightly and glanced at Qiao Xi coldly. "Ms. Xu Qiao, do you know that the evidence you provided is sufficient to prove that Xu Yi is the one who stole the ancient books?"

When everyone heard that their speculation had become reality, they couldn't help but be shocked.

The sneer on Yu Hongtao's face was even more unscrupulous.

Qiao Qian felt their strange looks, and even noticed Xu Yi's fierce look and Han Yun'an's puzzled look.

But she had a clear conscience and was not the least bit flustered. She nodded and asked the dean loudly, "The letter clearly states that Xu Yi stole the ancient books and wanted to sell them to others. And the handwriting is also Xu Yi's, isn't it?"

"In that case, I can only ask someone from the government office to come over."

The dean looked at Qiao Xi with disappointment, then frowned slightly and glanced at Xu Yi. "Xu Yi, do you have anything else to say?"

Xu Yi shook his head.

Seeing this, Han Yun'an became impatient.

No one knew better than him where this letter came from.

Thinking of what happened the day before, he was about to take a step forward when he suddenly heard Qiao Xi calling his name in a cold voice and shaking her head at him.

His expression changed, but he finally restrained himself from speaking.

"Did the Dean misunderstand?"

The dean raised his hand and was about to send someone to the government office when he heard Qiao Xi say this.

"What did the dean misunderstand? Didn't you present this letter personally?"

The dean frowned.

The others also looked at her, waiting for her next words.

Qiao Xi changed the subject and said, "I gave you this letter personally. But I didn't say that this letter was written by Xu Yi."

Dean, "If it wasn't written by him, then who wrote it? It's written in his handwriting."

Hearing that there was still hope, Yu Hongtao's sneer faded slightly, and he looked at Qiao Xi with a bad look, "Xu Qiao, what do you mean?"

Qiao Qian didn't even look at him, nor did she answer the dean's question. Instead, she turned to look at Han Yun'an and said, "Han Yun'an, please explain to the dean how this letter came about."

Upon hearing this, Han Yun'an, who had been a little anxious just now, immediately stepped forward and told him the origin of the letter.

He also mentioned that the boy went to Shangqing Academy to look for someone.

But without Qiao Xi's signal, he did not tell the boy who he was looking for.

Dean, "Who on earth was that young man looking for? Are you sure you didn't see clearly?"

Qiao Xi shook her head and saw that the dean and others looked disappointed.

Yu Hongtao seized the opportunity and tutted his tongue twice, mockingly saying, "Huh, you sound like it's true."

"Yu Hongtao, shut up first."

Before Qiao Xi could say anything, a gentleman couldn't stand it anymore and reminded her.

Yu Hongtao, feeling secretly proud, looked at the unhappy gentleman, then looked at the dean, and found that the dean was also looking at him, so he quickly shut up.

Seeing this, Qiao Qian's eyes turned, and she didn't take Yu Hongtao's words to heart. Instead, she said with a smile, "Although we didn't see who that person was, this letter can help us find him."

The dean raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

Qiao Xi pointed to her nose and then to the letter in her husband's hand.

The dean suddenly paused, as if remembering something, and hurriedly took the letter and put it to his nose to sniff.

He was surprised, "This letter paper has a special fragrance."

Qiao Xi nodded. "Yes, and if this scent gets on clothing, it will leave a smell. The dean only needs to find the person whose clothes have this scent on them."

She discovered this when she went to the students' residence that day, because they were all men and would only go home when the academy was closed.

Then they would wear their clothes for several days before changing into new ones.

Therefore, even if a day passed, she was not worried about not being able to find that person.

Moreover, she did not show up at the academy all day yesterday, in order to let that person let down his guard.

The dean hurriedly asked people to look for anyone with this kind of fragrance on their clothes.

In just half a minute, everyone had smelled it.

The dean looked at them and shook his head at himself, then looked at Qiao Xi with a dark look in his eyes.

Seeing his eyes looking at her, Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked at him openly.

The dean's heart skipped a beat, and when he thought of what she had just asked, he quickly looked up and glanced at everyone.

Soon, he realized something was wrong.

Seeing that he looked like he understood, Qiao Xi knew that he had also discovered it, and she secretly admired him in her heart.

"Students, check if there's anyone missing around you."

Everyone was a little confused by the dean's gaze, and when they were at a loss, they suddenly heard the dean say these words.

Although I didn't understand what the dean meant, I still did it.
