Su Bingyan followed what Grand Tutor Yan said and went to the Imperial Star Academy at night to bring the two brothers Su Yi and Su Xu back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Inside the Emperor Star Academy, in the small courtyard where the three brothers Shen Yanchu, Shen Yanshu, and Shen Yanqing live.

Although Grand Master Yan intervened in the matter of Su Yi and Su Xu, the news that the two of them were eliminated from the Imperial Star Academy was not spread to the outside world, but everyone in the Imperial Star Academy knew it clearly.

Everyone knew that no matter what, Su Yi and Su Xu were both legitimate sons of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even though their biological mother was a stepmother, there was no difference in status. When it came to the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, no one dared to make a fuss or say anything.

But then again, Su Yi and Su Xu were eliminated from the Emperor Star Academy because of this, and their future career prospects in the officialdom will be damaged because of this, and this is a fact that cannot be changed.

Shen Yanshu looked at Shen Yanqing and smiled, "This matter is really going smoothly, which is good."

Shen Yanqing: "This is the result that I want to see. We just play a role in fueling the flames in this matter. It's my sister who has thought it through."

Shen Yanshu: "It's rare that you don't take credit for yourself."

Shen Yanqing's mouth twitched, "Brother, look at my second brother, am I that kind of person?"

Shen Yanchu smiled calmly and said, "Okay, as long as this matter is resolved smoothly, I can repay the Zhu family for what they had previously left on me."

Shen Yanshu: "Indeed, a mere concubine who was promoted to the wife actually dared to treat my younger sister like that. Over the years, our uncle really didn't care at all and really let them do whatever they wanted."

Shen Yanchu: "You think our uncle doesn't know, he just turned a blind eye, and even acquiesced in many things. He has two sons, Su Yi and Su Xu, and he has always had high hopes for them. Now Su Yi and Su Xu have ended up like this, eliminated from the Imperial Star Academy, and their future is ruined. This is not only for the Zhu family, but also for uncle."

Shen Yanqing couldn't help but sigh, "The more I think about it, the angrier I get. I should have lived a happy life, and everything was the best. But now, everything is forced to happen. If I hadn't planned it, I would have caused so much trouble. I should have..."

Shen Yanshu interrupted Shen Yanqing and said in a serious tone, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. My little sister is fine now. Our whole family is in the capital. We will all stand behind my little sister in the future, and no one will bully her anymore."

Shen Yanchu said firmly, "Old Second is right. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We are now in the Imperial Star Academy. This is the Yan family's territory. We can't make the slightest mistake or we will be laughed at."

Shen Yanshu and Shen Yanqing both nodded repeatedly, agreeing with their eldest brother's words.

The Yan family and the Shen family have always been competing with each other, one in the south and one in the north, two schools of thought. Their grandfather and Master Yan were both great scholars of the time, but precisely because of these, there is a distinction between the superior and the inferior, and students and disciples all over the world compete with each other.

When they retreated and left the capital, the Yan family was the only dominant family in the capital. When they came back, the emperor intended to integrate the literary world. The two should be integrated to avoid collisions and frictions. The three brothers represented the Shen family outside, so of course they could not be negligent in the slightest.

……

Prime Minister’s Mansion, inside the ancestral hall.

Su Yi and Su Xu both knelt on the ground.

Su Bingyan frowned as he looked at his two sons kneeling in front of him.

Su Yi and Su Xu looked at their father. Su Yi said, "Father, if you want to punish me, punish me. This is my fault..."

Su Bingyan: "Punishment, do you think that punishment will still work now that it has come to this?"

Su Xu: "Father, mother has passed away. Do we really have to keep her funeral a secret? Can't we even have a normal funeral ceremony?"

Su Bingyan: "Your sister just got married today, and she will return home with Prince Jing in three days. Since you all came back from the Imperial Star Academy without permission, I think you know the reason for your mother's funeral. Do you think she can have a grand funeral?"

Both Su Yi and Su Xu were silent.

Su Bingyan looked at the two of them and said coldly, "I spent so much effort to block the news so that you wouldn't know. Then you left without permission. I even sent people to keep an eye on the Imperial Star Academy. Since you wanted to sneak out, you didn't even bother to inform me in advance and make adequate preparations, which led to this situation."

Su Yi: "Father, this matter, the news was spread in the Imperial Star Academy by Shen Yanqing from the Shen family. All the things involved, more or less, fell on Su Huan. We are..."

Su Bingyan: "You knew you were being set up and fell into the trap. Your mother was going to die to save the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now, your future is more than half ruined, especially you, Yi'er, who is about to graduate from the Imperial Star Academy. All three years have been wasted."

Su Xu: "Father, that bitch Su Huan, she..."

Su Bingyan interrupted Su Xu with a stern voice, "I didn't think it through and fell into this trap. I can only blame myself for this result."

Su Xu lowered his head and Su Yi didn't say anything either.

But they knew that the current result was the best that their father had fought for. If they were really eliminated from the Imperial Star Academy as they should be, it would be known to everyone in the capital and they would be extremely embarrassed. They were eliminated not because of their academic failures, but because of violating the rules of the academy.

Su Bingyan looked at the two of them and said, "You two should reflect on your future carefully. Come back to see me after you have thought it through."

After he finished speaking, Su Bingyan did not stay in the ancestral hall but left directly.

……

Lanyuexuan, inside the house.

Su Huan sat by the window, with Yun Shuang serving beside her.

Nanny Xia came in and said, "Miss, the Prime Minister just brought Su Yi and Su Xu back and went directly to the ancestral hall. The Prime Minister just came out of the ancestral hall."

Su Huan: "These two brothers have done something like this, my father will not let them kneel in the ancestral hall. Besides, their mother is dead, they should also kneel in the ancestral hall to express their grief."

Nanny Xia: "Miss, after all this, they should be able to think it through clearly. By then, will they..."

Su Huan: "What's there to worry about with these two?"

Su Huan didn't care about Su Yi and Su Xu at all.
