After taking Li En as his student, Gu Hongjin also taught many children in Ning County.

Therefore, upon hearing the commotion, Mr. Gu's students came uninvited to testify.

Tiger pointed at Li En first, walked up to An Wuyang, and immediately explained the whole story: "Today in school, Li Xiaohua's homework was praised by the teacher, but Li En was dissatisfied, so he took advantage of the teacher's inattention and tore up Li Xiaohua's homework!"

"Li Xiaohua tried to grab it in a hurry, but Li En pinned her to the ground and beat her. I was the one who went over and stopped Li En!"

“Li En was dissatisfied and cursed Li Xiaohua as a lowly slut, a down-on-her-luck poor woman who wasn’t even worthy of being his concubine. If he could please her now, he might allow her to be his concubine when he returned to the Marquis’s mansion!”

Tiger finished speaking in one breath and then turned to look at An Wuyang.

An Wuyang's face suddenly turned ashen. Sure enough, Rean had already been corrupted at this point.

If we don't teach them a lesson today, they'll be beyond saving in the future.

An Wuyang shot a cold glance at Li En, only to see him shrink back into Luo Qingfan's arms, as if he had found a way to rely on himself, and stared at Hu Zi without any remorse.

Tiger continued, "Your son, Li En, often bullies his classmates in our school by claiming he's the eldest grandson of the Marquis's family. You are his mother; if you protect him, we won't say anything!"

"But if you continue to force us to befriend Rean as before, we cannot do it!"

After Hu Zi finished speaking, he first bowed to Gu Hongjin, and then continued to An Wuyang: "The master said that a gentleman should prioritize moral conduct and be careful in making friends!"

“We dislike Rean because of his corrupt character! Although we were born in a remote and wild place like Ning County, we dare not hope to become gentlemen, but by learning from you, we can also distinguish between good and evil, and right and wrong!”

"Rean is not a worthy friend!"

Upon hearing this, Rean glared angrily, wishing he could rush forward and fight Tiger.

Tiger then said loudly, "We've heard that in court, witnesses must be flogged before they can testify!"

"But today, Rean betrayed our teacher and wronged him. Even if we are flogged by the officials, we will go to court to testify for our teacher. We will never back down!"

After Hu Zi finished speaking, his eyes were filled with tears. He reached out his hand to Gu Hongjin and said, "Sir, my argument with An Wuyang just now was disrespectful to my elders. Please punish me!"

This scene deeply moved An Wuyang, who couldn't help but step forward and grasp Hu Zi's hand.

"I know Mr. Gu's character best!"

"It seems Mr. Gu has taught you all very well!"

Rean is in the wrong!

An Wuyang picked up the stick directly from the ground.

"Rean, do you have anything else to say?"

Now that you have made such a big mistake, kneel down immediately and apologize to the master!

Because An Wuyang was extremely angry, and because Li Huai Ren had been beaten by An Wuyang several times, he was also trembling with fear at this moment.

He held Rean in his arms and exclaimed, "Those wild children are obviously bastards born to poor families. You can't just beat my Rean because of a few inappropriate words!"

As the saying goes, "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too." With a shameless father like Li Huai-ren, it's no wonder that Li En grew up to be increasingly crooked.

Now that things have come to this, An Wuyang no longer cares about saving face and only wishes he could beat the father and son to a pulp!

"enough!"

Suddenly, the old lady's scolding came from inside the room.

She was helped out by Huang Gu Zi, and she stepped forward shakily to stand in front of Li Huai Ren.

"If you want to hit someone, hit this old woman!"

This action forced An Wuyang to retract the stick from his hand.

It wasn't because she was afraid of the old lady, but because she had to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor in front of Mr. Gu, and An Wuyang dared not disrespect filial piety for the time being.

When the old lady saw that An Wuyang had stopped, she scolded again, "En'er is still a child!"

"Even if he made a mistake, he can correct it. Why is there such a fuss about killing him?"

"Yang'er, look at yourself! You're acting like a madwoman from the marketplace! What kind of behavior is this!"

Seeing that the old lady was backing him up, Li En immediately escaped from Luo Qingfan's arms and sobbed as he burrowed into the old lady's embrace.

"Great-grandmother, great-grandmother, save me! My mother is going to beat me to death..."

Rean cried pitifully, and the old man's heart trembled along with him.

She looked up at An Wuyang: "In a little while, the guests for the banquet will arrive. Today we have invited not only the Ningyuan Marquis's family, but also the women from the former Minister Li's family and the young county princess's family."

"You've made such a scene at such an important occasion; even I can no longer tolerate you!"
