Upon hearing this, Gu Kaiqi sighed imperceptibly.

Although Gu Mingan first suspected Cheng Yan's head, the search of the room was approved by him and Gu Zhengde, which represented the attitude of the entire Gu family, not Gu Mingan's personal behavior. It would be fine to apologize to Cheng Yan in public, but he even had to post the apology letter on the outer wall of the school for people to stop and watch. This not only a shame for Gu Mingan, but also a shame for Gu's face in Songjiang.

There are so many children from aristocratic families in the school. If they know this, they may be able to spread throughout Songjiang Prefecture within a few days. They will bully poor people and wrongly accus them of stealing property. If this is spread, will the Gu family still have a reputation?

From the perspective of the Gu family, the best solution is to minimize the impact by turning big things into small things. As the leader of the Gu family and the patriarch of the Gu family in Songjiang, Gu Zhengde naturally puts the interests of the Gu family first and cannot do such a self-slap.

If Gu Kaiqi is in charge today, he might also consider the feelings of Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan and choose a compromise method. But at this moment, Gu Zhengde is present, and it is inevitable that he will calm down the situation. Gu Yunji is destined not to get the result he wants.

He is still young, and his ideas are a bit naive. Gu Kaiqi sighed silently.

Gu Zhengde seemed to have not heard of Gu Yunji's inquiry, and looked around the crowd present with majestic warning:

"Today's incident was a misunderstanding from beginning to end. Mr. Cheng did not steal, and the imperial treasures were never lost. It was just that Ming'an forgot to take Ruyi in the school and Yun Ji happened to send it back to him. If anyone dares to go out and talk nonsense, you know the consequences. But do you remember them clearly?"

All the servants and maids bowed their heads and responded: "Remember it clearly."

Seeing Gu Zhengde turn a blind eye to him, Gu Yunji was anxious and suddenly shouted: "Grandfather!"

Gu Zhengde's expression finally fluctuated. He raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly. His eyes were deserted and cold, but there was no doubt that he had never spoken for a long time.

Gu Yunji gradually realized something, and the hope in his eyes went out little by little, and he clenched his teeth to the point of forbearance.

After a while, he heard Gu Zhengde's calm voice: "Ji'er, you are a sensible child. I think you know what this will bring to the Gu family. Now that Ruyi has been found, I have punished Gu Ming'an, so things should be stopped here. It is meaningless to continue to entangle."

"Why is it meaningless? Gu Ming'an framed Cheng Yan and made a big fuss that he had stolen things. So many people in the school heard it. Now that he has proved that he is innocent, he should be given up his innocence."

Gu Yunji's eyes were red, and he pushed away Cheng Yan's hand that pulled his sleeve, looked at Gu Zhengde and accused: "I came to visit but was suspected of stealing by the owner, and even the room was searched. How much impact did this have on Cheng Yan's reputation? Don't you know?"

"So in order to repair Cheng Yan's reputation, do you even ignore the face of the Gu family?" Gu Zhengde's face darkened and his tone became cold, "Gu Yunji, don't forget that you are the child of my Gu family. You must put the overall situation first and do not act willfully."

"What's more, I didn't know what you agreed with Gu Ming'an at first, and I didn't approve it. Naturally, I couldn't say that I could testify and urge him to fulfill his promise."

Gu Yunji really didn't expect that the decent leader of the Gu clan would turn his back to this point. He could deny everything he had just said on the spot, without the capacity and demeanor that the aristocratic clan should have. For a moment, he was shocked and disappointed, his eyes were full of reluctance, and his fingers trembled slightly.

Cheng Yan was afraid that his emotions would be out of control, so he quickly pulled him back and whispered: "Don't talk about Yun Ji. It's best to be able to solve things safely. I don't want an apology letter or need clarification. Just pretend that nothing has happened."

Doesn't he need clarification? It would be strange if he doesn't need it.

First, he was made difficult by Gu Ming'an because of his background, and then he was humiliated in public in school. Then today he was wrongly accused of stealing things, which was stigmatized by theft. As the person involved, Cheng Yan felt more aggrieved and angry than anyone else, but he could only bear it.

This is not the first time he has encountered insults, nor is it the first time he has been discriminated against. From the moment Cheng Yan learned to learn literacy and wanted to cross the class, these shadows have been with him.

There are differences in high and low, and there are equality in high and low. This society has never been equal to everyone. A poor scholar from a poor family has a prominent talent in Cheng Yan. Before he truly achieves his achievements, such an identity will not be highly regarded anywhere.

As a family of aristocratic families, the Gu family does not have capacity and demeanor, but their capacity and demeanor are based on interactions at the same level, either high-ranking officials or prominent high-ranking families. No matter how you look at it, Cheng Yan is not listed here, so naturally it is not worth their sacrifice of their interests to make friends.

From the beginning, Cheng Yan had no expectations for the outcome of today's events. It was a blessing that he could successfully clear his suspicion of theft. How could he ask the Gu family to lower their attitude and apologize to him, a poor man?

On one side is a friend and on the other side is a family. Gu Yunji was caught in it and could stand on his side from beginning to end and argue for him. Cheng Yan was already very grateful for this, so he naturally didn't want him to have another unhappy relationship with Gu Zhengde for himself.

Seeing that Cheng Yan was still quite tactful and did not follow Gu Yunji to make trouble, Gu Zhengde looked a little better and said in a gentle tone: "Young Master Cheng, I have aggrieved you this time. Don't worry, I will definitely restrain Gu Ming'an in the future and will not make him embarrassed. Just study with peace of mind and prepare for the provincial examination. If you have any needs, you can tell me at any time."

Cheng Yan nodded slightly, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant: "Mr. Gu said harshly. As the master said before, today's affairs are just a misunderstanding, and there is no need to say that it is not wrong. Cheng Yan has to support you, and it is a great honor to be able to study and attend classes at Gu's school. How dare you disturb me again?"

He said this properly, Gu Zhengde nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes showed admiration: "Since that's the case, then Mr. Cheng should go back to class soon, don't be delayed any more."

"Yes." Seeing Gu Yunji lowering his head and not talking, Cheng Yan was a little worried, but after Gu Zhengde said that, he didn't stay much. He responded and turned around and left.

"There is also the fourth brother. You are in poor health. Go back early and rest. Don't stand in the corridor to have a breath of wind."

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Gu Mingan who was still kneeling on the ground. Gu Zhengde spoke coldly and kicked him hard: "I asked you to kneel to the ancestral hall, why are you doing here? Could you still ask me to treat you?"

"Sun, grandson is going now." Gu Mingan hurriedly got up from the ground, saluted Gu Zhengde randomly, turned around and ran towards the ancestral hall.

After holding everyone out of sight, Gu Zhengde looked at Gu Yunji leisurely for a few glances and said lightly: "Follow me to the study, I have something to say to you."
