Chapter 282 Poor Acting
Even though Pei Yi was quite gifted in studying, he was still young, so it was easy for people to let down their guard.
Lu Tingfeng thought he was just dazzled and ended the topic with a helpless smile, "By the way, my uncle heard that the safety lock you are wearing is the same as mine, and he wants to take a look at it. I wonder if I can..."
Before he finished speaking, Pei Yi had already stood up and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Senior Brother Lu to take care of the medicine. I'll go see the abbot."
Lu Tingfeng was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Oh, OK, Senior Brother will help you look after the medicine."
Pei Yi gave him a humble smile and went to the dean's room.
The abbot already knew clearly what had happened in Hanqiu Temple during the day.
From the moment Pei Yi entered the academy, he expected that this person would be difficult to discipline. However, this person has always performed well and is not like other students who rely on their knowledge to become arrogant.
He never expected that this person's mistake was in other aspects, and it happened right under his nose, but he didn't notice it at all.
He felt truly unworthy of the position of dean and could not help but sigh heavily.
Just at this moment, Pei Yi arrived. He couldn't help but ask, "What's troubling you, Dean? I'm willing to help you solve your problems."
After saying this, he took off his safety lock and handed it to the abbot.
The dean was slightly stunned when he saw this thing, and instantly forgot the words of reprimand he was about to give Pei Yi.
He quickly glanced at the boy, then stared at the object in front of him in a daze. He couldn't help but take it in his hand and examine it carefully. After just a moment, he exclaimed, "How can this be so similar to Tingfeng's?"
The dean's surprised voice made the man not far away's eyes darken, but his expression remained unchanged.
"This is a letter from King Yu to me. He made ten in total and gave them to me and the younger generation." Pei Yi replied with a smile.
"King Yu? But this thing..." The dean glanced at the young man beside him. Seeing his happy eyes, he swallowed the rest of his words and reluctantly put the safety lock back on the young man.
He forced out a stiff laugh, "I didn't expect that King Yu also knew about this thing. I remember that he was just born when my sister disappeared."
Pei Yi laughed when he heard this, "Dean, I heard that this style came from the palace, so King Yu would naturally know about it. It's not like it was made in secret."
"It's me who is narrow-minded." The dean stared at Pei Yi's chest with a complicated expression and was about to say something, but at this moment, two screams suddenly came from outside, accompanied by the sound of porcelain breaking.
The dean's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly ran outside to check. He saw Lu Tingfeng covering his hand in pain. The medicine jar that was originally on the fire had fallen to the ground and broke into pieces, emitting a strong smell of herbs.
Nalan Qingye stood opposite him in a daze, holding the bowl, looking at a loss.
The dean walked quickly to the two of them and asked anxiously, "What happened?"
Lu Tingfeng was the first to speak in a trembling voice, "It has nothing to do with Junior Brother Nalan. I was trying to help Junior Brother Pei pour the medicine into the bowl, but I was careless and burned my hand, and I also ruined Junior Brother Pei's medicine."
He looked at Pei Yi with guilt, "I didn't expect that my good intentions would lead to bad consequences. Junior Brother Pei, do you still have this medicine? I'll make you another dose later."
Pei Yi looked at his poor acting coldly and pretended to be concerned, "Brother Lu, your hand is injured. Go to the doctor and have a look. I will make the medicine myself."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone seemed to have just woken up from a dream and looked at Lu Tingfeng's tightly covered hand. In a moment, huge blisters appeared on that hand, and even blood oozed out and dripped onto the ground.
When the dean saw this scene, he was so distressed that he no longer had time to care about anything else. He hurriedly dragged him to find a doctor.
"Why is your hand injured again?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
Then someone said, "It's so serious, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold a pen for a while."
All the students living in Hanqiu Courtyard have had hand injuries without exception, and now one more has occurred. No matter what the cause is, this is really too weird.
People who are not calm enough will inevitably feel cold feet.
Everyone looked at each other, and a few obscure glances fell on Nalan Qingye. They felt that it was unlucky and hurriedly chased after the abbot.
Pei Yi looked at all these people, and a hint of excitement flashed across his eyes. He looked at Nalan Qingye who had not yet come back to his senses, and sighed softly, "Brother Nalan, please give me the bowl. The medicine is hot, and you have to put the bowl on the table before pouring it. You can't catch it with your bare hands."
Then, he complained softly, "This Senior Brother Lu has been taking medicine for more than ten years, but he still doesn't know how to hold the medicine jar."
Leng Shuyu, who was helping to clean up the medicine residue, froze. He looked up at Pei Yi, who couldn't help but get angry, and whispered, "Brother Lu got hurt to help you, Brother Pei, you can't be so disrespectful."
Pei Yi pursed his lips, glanced at Nalan Qingye whose face was gradually becoming gloomy, then went back to his room with a look of grievance to get more medicine.
Xiao Yining had heard the noise in Hanqiu Courtyard a long time ago, but she had something important to do now and could not go upstairs to watch the fun.
But it's okay, she has good hearing.
As expected, just as the other end calmed down, there was a "thump thump thump" sound coming from the stairs. Zhao Ya hurried to her side and said, "Oh, Miss, the people over there actually got rid of the medicine for my cousin. What should I do? There is one less dose of medicine after each dose, and old man Shangguan has run away. Where can I get another dose?"
Has the fellow villager’s medicine been injected?
Xiao Yining's hand suddenly stopped, and the ink from the pen tip dripped onto the letter paper. She panicked and quickly wiped it with her hand, which was stained with black again. Then she looked down at the rescued letter, and fortunately only a few words were smudged, so she could still see clearly if she looked carefully.
After finishing all this slowly, Xiao Yining looked up and asked in a panic, "Madam Zhao, who was so excessive in giving my cousin the medicine?"
Zhao Ya: ..., with this reaction, it’s hard to say whether the young lady cares about her cousin.
She didn't waste any time and told Xiao Yining everything she had just seen.
After hearing the whole story, Qiu Yi couldn't help but complain, "Miss, this guy is so stupid. He actually took the medicine bottle with his bare hands and caused the cousin's medicine to be gone."
Xiao Yining glanced at her and guessed, "Sister Qiu Yi, maybe he had a very good life in the past and never had to make medicine by himself. Alas, but my cousin is really pitiful. It's okay that he didn't take the medicine, but it seems that he can't get the money back!"
Zhao Ya nodded in agreement. "I listened from above and indeed no one mentioned the matter of compensation."
Xiao Yining curled her lips. It was one thing for Lu Tingfeng to try to torture someone else, but he couldn't play with other people's medicine. This guy was not a good person.
She lowered her eyes to look at her "letter" (summary report), and there were only a few lines left to finish. She stood up and said righteously, "Madam Zhao, my cousin is shy and will definitely be embarrassed to ask for compensation. We have to go and help him."
