Chapter 2176 Take the initiative to come to the door
After regaining her composure, Wan Shufang no longer cared about the spring exam and left it entirely to Chen Changli. Perhaps because she was too tired, she leaned in Chen Changli's arms and fell asleep unknowingly.
When Wan Shufang woke up again, it was already the next day. She got up and washed up. As soon as she opened the door, she saw An Yi standing at the door with an anxious look on his face.
"An Yi, what happened? Where is Chen Changli?"
"Madam, the master has gone out for something, and I am waiting for you on purpose." An Yi handed a booklet to Wan Shufang and said calmly, "Our people found that Xiao Jingheng was looking for Miss Shangguan everywhere."
"Miss Shangguan seems to be missing."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang paused, and suddenly remembered something, her face changed drastically: "Oh no, it must be that letter, An Yi, send more people to find Ah Chu, and make sure to bring him back."
"Yes, ma'am."
An Yi took the order and left. Looking at his receding back, Wan Shufang's face was solemn. She had been keeping an eye on the Xiao family these days, so she naturally knew what had happened.
Chen Luoluo's pregnancy is bound to cause misunderstandings between Ah Chu and Xiao Jingheng...
"I have to find Ah Chu and clear up the misunderstanding between them, so that the girl won't be stubborn and suffer in secret."
Thinking of this, Wan Shufang quickly changed her clothes and went out to look for him. She asked people everywhere to find out Shangguan Chu's whereabouts. They were so desperate to find him, but they didn't hear any news.
Just when Wan Shufang was anxious and wanted to use other methods to find someone, Shangguan Chu suddenly came to her door and looked at the little girl standing in front of him.
Wan Shufang couldn't help but reach out and patted her: "Where have you been, girl? Do you know that we are all very worried about you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shangguan Chu's eyes were red, and he looked pitiful, which made Wan Shufang feel distressed. She sighed and said, "A Chu, I know everything about you and Jamel Xiao."
"But this matter is still in doubt. Don't alienate the person you love because of a misunderstanding, which will only add to your sadness..."
"Madam." Shangguan Chu interrupted her, and a far-fetched smile appeared on her pretty face: "Madam, I'm fine, don't worry."
Shangguan Chu took a deep breath, his eyes red but he pretended to be calm, and spoke as if he had made a great decision.
"I am not here today to seek comfort from you, Madam. I just want to ask you to drop out of school for me. I don't want to go to the academy anymore."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang was shocked and pulled her hand to ask, but the next second, another letter was stuffed into her hand: "Also, Ah Chu wants to ask Madam to help give this letter to Jing Heng."
"After all, he and I are not destined to be together. We have different paths and it is difficult for us to reach the same destination."
After she finished speaking, Shangguan Chu couldn't help herself and started crying. Listening to her weak cry, Wan Shufang sighed helplessly and hugged her: "Ah Chu, why did you drop out of school?"
"If there is a misunderstanding, just resolve it. Besides, even if it can't be resolved, you don't have to drop out of school and ruin your future just for a man."
Hearing this, Shangguan Chu withdrew from Wan Shufang's arms. She glanced at Wan Shufang awkwardly, then quickly lowered her head: "Madam, it's not for him."
"Why is that?" Wan Shufang asked again and again. She really felt sorry for Shangguan Chu and didn't want her to drop out of school easily.
In the beginning, she had gone through a lot of hardships before she was able to get the academy to open a girls' school. In Wan Shufang's opinion, there was no need to give up this opportunity because of a man.
But Shangguan Chu suddenly touched her belly and said in a hoarse voice: "I want to marry Liu Mochen, Madam, I am pregnant with Liu Mochen's child, and I really can't go to the academy."
As she spoke, a trace of pain emerged on her face. She didn't want to leave the academy, but the academy did not allow female students. Even if it had changed now, it would not be able to accommodate a pregnant female student.
What's more, now that she is pregnant, how can she dare to go to the academy again? Anyone's spit can drown her.
Wan Shufang was obviously aware of this. Getting pregnant before marriage would be criticized and talked about, not to mention in this era when women's chastity is of paramount importance, even in modern times.
She was shocked in her heart and showed anger on her face: "What is going on? Did Liu Mochen force you?"
"Ah Chu, don't be afraid. If he really forced you, I will solve it for you."
"Madam, please stop talking." Shangguan Chu avoided looking at Wan Shufang and answered irrelevantly: "I have made up my mind. Please don't ask any more questions."
After hearing this, Wan Shufang was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. Before she could think of a solution, Shangguan Chu had already put the letter on the table.
"Thank you Madam, Achu is very grateful."
She knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to Wan Shufang, then stood up and left in a hurry.
Looking at Shangguan Chu's leaving figure, Wan Shufang did not try to keep him, but just looked at the letter with a complicated expression. She vaguely realized that although Shangguan Chu's tone was resolute, he seemed to be hiding something that was hard to tell.
Suddenly, he was confused, picked up the letter, and rubbed it carefully with his fingers: "This matter is not right, I have to investigate it thoroughly, and I can't just leave Ah Chu alone."
As she spoke, her eyes flashed, and she hurried out with the letter, leaving the mansion.
They went straight to the academy and saw Xiao Jingheng sitting in the classroom. Wan Shufang called him to her courtyard and then took out the letter and handed it to him.
“Xiao Jingheng, this is what A Chu asked me to give you.”
When he heard Shangguan Chu's name, Xiao Jingheng's eyes lit up and he quickly took the letter.
"Thank you, Master." After thanking Wan Shufang, he couldn't wait to open it and read it carefully, but the more he read, the uglier Xiao Jingheng's expression became.
There were only a few short sentences written in the letter.
"Xiao Jingheng, from now on, you and I are no longer related, and marriage has nothing to do with each other."
These words made Xiao Jingheng's eyes red, and he eagerly grabbed Wan Shufang's hand.
"It's impossible. How could Ah Chu break off all ties with me? Master, what's going on? Where is Ah Chu? I want to see her!"
Seeing Xiao Jingheng going crazy, Wan Shufang glanced at the content of the letter, and she sighed deeply: "Achu doesn't want to, and I can't help you, go back."
"Why on earth..."
Xiao Jingheng refused to leave, and was even unwilling to let go of Wan Shufang's hand.
Wan Shufang began to feel pain in her wrist and had to use some strength to shake his hand off.
"Xiao Jingheng, Ah Chu is pregnant with Liu Mochen's child, so she has decided to marry Liu Mochen. If you really want to do this for her own good..."
Before Wan Shufang could finish her words, Xiao Jingheng suddenly ran out, muttering something.
Looking at the direction he left, Wan Shufang silently finished the next sentence: "If it's really for her good, don't bother her anymore."
She sighed, knowing clearly that Xiao Jingheng was going to find Liu Mochen.
Everything happened just as she expected. Xiao Jingheng was shocked when he learned everything. He left the academy and ran to Liu Mansion like crazy, but was turned away.
He could only shout at the door.
"Liu Mochen, come out!"
