After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.

"Is there such a thing?!"

The teacher was shocked. He never imagined that his seemingly obedient and well-behaved student would do such a vicious thing.

“It’s absolutely true. When we found Li’er last night, he was almost frozen stiff, and there were bloody wounds on his wrists from the ropes binding him.”

Seeing Xue Ruanruan's firm attitude, the teacher dared not be careless. He also knew the student's character and personality well and knew that she would never lie.

She slowly raised her head, turned her gaze to Xue Li, looked at him firmly, and said in a steady voice, "Xue Li, you tell me first. I need to know the whole story."

Xue Li stepped forward and recounted in detail how Wang Yuchen, along with several other classmates, had tied him to a tree in the outhouse the day before.

After he finished speaking, the Master pondered for a moment, and then said, "This matter is indeed of great importance and cannot be resolved by me. Xu Zijun, go and invite the Headmaster here."

Watching Xu Zijun's figure gradually disappear, Wang Yuchen was completely terrified.

He never expected that what he did yesterday would be exposed like this. He thought Xue Li would suffer in silence as before.

Upon learning the news, Headmaster Ren immediately led the other teachers to the classroom.

He questioned the students present in detail, and after listening to all their accounts, his expression became very serious, and he was deeply angered.

Luming Academy has always been known for its upright atmosphere. Although the students come from different family backgrounds, they get along relatively well with each other.

It is truly heartbreaking that such a heinous act of bullying has occurred.

This is due to his lax academic approach and serious dereliction of duty; he bears an unshirkable responsibility for this matter.

"This is my dereliction of duty as the headmaster. I failed to discover such bullying behavior in the academy in time, and I am deeply sorry."

"Headmaster, there's no need to blame yourself. I came to the academy to solve problems, not to investigate them."

Xue Ruanruan had heard about Ren Shanzhang's personality in her previous life; he was straightforward and responsible, so she didn't pursue the matter. However, she was determined to get an explanation for the bullying of her younger brother.

“Miss Xue is right. Xue Li, tell me who has ever bullied you, and I will seek justice for you.”

Xue Li was a little scared, worried that Wang Yuchen would retaliate fiercely after this incident, implicating her father and brothers who were far away on the frontier. She tightly gripped Xue Ruanruan's sleeve with her small hand, begging her not to pursue the matter any further.

“Xue Li, you are the young master of my Zhenguo General’s Mansion. Your father and brothers are defending the country against the Turks on the frontier. If your family is bullied, what is the point of their selfless protection?”

Xue Ruanruan's words were forceful and clear, ostensibly directed at Xue Li, but in reality, they were a slap in the face to the headmaster and the other teachers.

General Xue is fighting on the front lines with his two sons, while his young child at home is being bullied and harassed by his classmates. This is truly unacceptable.

"Wang Yuchen, and the rest of you, invite your parents here to apologize for what you did to Xue Li and discuss ways to make amends."

"Miss Xue, what do you think of this matter? How should it be handled?"

"Well, let's wait for their parents to arrive."

Xue Ruanruan had no intention of reconciliation. Since these people dared to bully her underlings, they should bear the consequences.

The Left Prime Minister, in particular, took this opportunity to give him a warning, telling him not to think that just because his father and brothers were fighting on the front lines, they could be bullied at will.

Doesn't he like to bully others by borrowing power? This time, he'll use Murong Xun's influence to retaliate and see who backs down first.
