The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

If outsiders compare the Xie family with the Xiao family, it would simply be flattering the Xiao family. The Xiao family has no right to be compared with the Xie family!

Thinking of this, Xie Zhiqing decided to stay out of the spotlight for the time being.

Xiao Yu'an is such a vicious person. He has to go back and tell his parents, elder brother and sister, and ask them what Xiao Yu'an is thinking.

Xie Zhiqing was about to say something, but was interrupted by Master Yang.

"Xiao Yu'an! You made such a big scene today and took so many detours. Could it be that you did it to become my disciple? I don't believe it. At the beginning, you said that you were delivering a message for Xie Ruyu, but you know clearly whether you were helping to deliver a message or deliberately provoking me."

"After all, this is a feud between your Xiao family and the Xie family. Since it is a feud between your two families, you should solve it privately. Xie Zhiqing is not the head of the Xie family, so why are you telling him this?"

Master Yang began to help Xie Zhiqing draw a clear line between the two people. The grudge between the two people was different from the grudge between the two families.

If it comes to a family struggle, Xie Zhiqing is only the third son of the Xie family. He has older brothers and sisters, and his old father is still alive.

It was not the turn of a junior like him to get involved in the important affairs of these two families, and the same went for Xiao Yu'an.

Xiao Yu'an just acted like looking for trouble, and the people present were not blind.

So everyone could accept what Master Yang said.

That is, why did the feud between the two families suddenly come up in Qingfeng Academy?

Master Yang found the right direction and continued.

"You two families should resolve your disputes at a different time. Don't make a scene in the academy. The academy is a place for study and self-cultivation. You are disturbing everyone's studies by quarreling and fighting here."

"Whether it's you or Xie Zhiqing, you both violated the rules of our academy this time, so I will punish you to go back home and reflect on your actions for half a month."

At the end, after a pause, Master Yang spoke to Xiao Yu'an seriously.

"No matter what you do, you have to consider fate. You and I are not destined to be master and apprentice. What's more, you are not sincere in becoming my apprentice this time, but have ulterior motives. I tell you, I will not accept you as my student, but I am definitely not biased."

After Master Yang clearly refused, he noticed that Xiao Yu'an's face looked strange. It seemed that he wanted to accuse him of being partial and to involve Xie Zhiqing. So he took the initiative to deny it and blocked Xiao Yu'an's words.

Master Yang snorted in his heart and continued.

"I don't accept you, not because I am partial to the Xie family, or to the educated youth Xie, but because the atmosphere of your Xiao family is very problematic. As the saying goes, if a son is not well educated, it is the fault of the father. If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. Your family tradition is problematic, so what else can I expect from you?"

"No matter how good you are at studying and writing, you are not qualified to be my student. My students must have a clean family background and a decent family tradition. Your Xiao family is not within the scope of my students."

Xiao Yu'an forced a smile and said unwillingly.

"But Master Yang, the Xie family is not much different from our Xiao family. This cancellation of the engagement is also against the will of the emperor. The Xie family can't be considered a family with strict family traditions, right?"

Master Yang would not be led away by Xiao Yu'an, he snorted coldly.

"The Xie family is different from your Xiao family. Although Xie Ruyu also made mistakes, people are not saints, so who can be without mistakes? We are not afraid of a person making mistakes, but we are afraid of the consequences of the subsequent treatment."

"Xie Ruyu of the Xie family did something wrong, but the Xie family has a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. Xie Ruyu and his father have been expelled from the family. This is the attitude of the Xie family. They will not let two bad apples continue to spoil the whole pot of porridge. However, your Xiao family is shielding Xiao Yusheng and harboring filth. How are they the same? You'd better get up. I can't bear the student's respect from you Xiao family members!"

What Master Yang said was well-reasoned and everyone thought it made sense, so no one objected.

Master Yang noticed that everyone's expressions showed approval, and he knew that the matter was over, so he quickly walked to the door.

He said unhappily to the students who were watching the fun outside.

"And you guys are still here to watch the fun. Whether it's Xiao Yu'an or Xie Zhiqing, the level of their articles and policy papers is higher than yours."

"Besides, both families have titles. Even if they quarrel in the academy every day, at worst they can't take the imperial examination. They still have the Marquisate to back them up. What about you?"

When Master Yang said this, he cursed in frustration.

"You don't have the money to waste your study time here just to watch the fun. Instead of wasting your time watching the fun, you might as well study more books. Maybe you can get admitted sooner!"

"You are men of integrity. Do you really want your family to cut back on food and clothing to support your studies? How dare you! Study and pass the imperial examinations as soon as possible, so that your family can live a comfortable life as soon as possible. This is the path that poor students like you should take, instead of just standing here and watching the excitement of the two marquis' mansions!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the students present showed a look of sudden realization. After they realized what was going on, some were annoyed, some were helpless, and some had a thoughtful expression.

He looked at Xie Zhiqing and Xiao Yu'an with a complicated expression, and felt like backing out.

Master Yang was right. No matter whether it was Xie Zhiqing or Xiao Yu'an, no matter how fiercely the fight between their two families took place, it had nothing to do with them.

No matter who wins or loses between the two families, the other party now stands higher and farther than them. He is the son of a marquis, even if he is born out of wedlock. Even if the two of them are not good at writing articles and policy essays, his current status and position are not comparable to theirs.

Even if they pass the imperial examination in the future, their status will still not be as high as others.

They really shouldn't be here to watch other people's fun. After all, no matter how lively it is, it's other people's business. What does it have to do with them?

But the books you read and the articles you remember in your mind are yours.

Master Yang's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on the faces of the students present, and many of them suddenly came to their senses.

Most of the students who had nothing to do with Xie Zhiqing and Xiao Yu'an, especially those from poor families, turned around and left.

Only a few with good family backgrounds or good relationships with the two continued to wait.

However, unlike those students who were just there to watch the fun, there was genuine worry and curiosity on their faces.

Master Yang drove away a lot of people and didn't want to waste time talking to the remaining irrelevant people, so he drove out Zheng Yecheng and several other people who broke into the study.

"Go back to school! I have already decided on the punishment, and you are not allowed to disturb me!"

The two guards looked ferocious and started to chase people away after receiving Master Yang's order. They did nothing but took two steps forward and put on their fierce faces. Zheng Yecheng and others were so scared that they retreated and finally stayed away from the study.

Master Yang turned around and glanced at the two of them.

"This is a matter between your two families. You can discuss it among yourselves. I won't get involved."
