Chapter 257: Conspiracy 3
Liu Hanxiang sneered. She did not steal the money? That was impossible! She put the money on her. She made the whole plan so it could not have failed.
“She must have stolen the money!” Liu Hanxiang said resolutely. Her mother arranged the man who did the trick. He was fast and skilled, and he left after he finished his mission. Li Yuanxiang would be framed, and the culprit would never be found.
Gu Chaoyan understood the whole thing now, but she had no idea how Li Yuanxiang offended these two girls who tried to set her up.
“How can you be sure that she stole the money when you haven’t even got evidence? Or did you put the money on her?” Gu Chaoyan asked calmly.
“You....” Liu Hanxiang pointed at Gu Chaoyan. “You are talking nonsense!”
Gu Chaoyan glanced at the crowd, then she said calmly, “There are rules and laws in our country. When we are out of our homes, we should obey the laws of the Empire by reporting the issue to the Governmental Office. However, now that we are in Saint College, it should be the teachers of Saint College who are there to make a fair judgement of whether Li Yuanxiang has stolen your stuff.”
“...”
“If private punishments are used at Saint College, like this lady who sets others up and humiliates others just because of her ident.i.ty, then could it be that anyone with a higher social status will have the right to do whatever they want?” Gu Chaoyan said calmly.
The crowd had come to watch a bustling show, but hearing what Gu Chaoyan said, they all got shocked.
They were all ladies with social ident.i.ty, and they were all going to meet people with a higher status in the future. Were they all going to be bullied too? That would not work.
Suddenly, someone stepped forward. “Let’s go and ask the teachers of Saint College to make a fair judgement! We will know if the theft was committed!”
Then someone went to fetch the teacher.
Liu Hanxiang sneered. She was not at all worried. Great, if the teachers were here, she could make the teachers eliminate Li Yuanxiang directly.
Everything seemed to go forward smoothly.
She wondered if Li Yuanxiang’s friend was so stupid as to cause her even bigger trouble.
When something like this happened the teachers of Saint College came quickly. It was an aged man who frowned and said to the crowd with displeasure. “Who stole the money?”
Liu Hanxiang pointed at Li Yuanxiang.
Li Yuanxiang shook her head. “I did not!”
“Since the teacher is here, let your maid do the search. If the money is not found, you have to compensate Li Yuanxiang with money!” Gu Chaoyan said as she stepped forward and then turned to the teacher. “Please, sir, just be the witness.”
The old man had no patience to deal with these kinds of small tricks. He nodded.
Liu Hanxiang’s maids went to search the room.
A long while later, the two maids walked out of the room.
Liu Hanxiang’s maid looked very frightened. She did not dare to look at her own lady. If she had known that nothing would be found, she would not go and do the search. She would be beaten!
“How is it? Did you find anything?” The teacher asked impatiently.
“Nothing...” The maid answered frightenedly.
“Impossible, I...”Liu Hanxiang did not dare to utter any more words. What happened?
Li Yuanxiang let out a sigh of relief.
The teacher was very displeased as he turned to Liu Hanxiang. In the past, Saint College always recruited people who were out there to learn knowledge, but during the past few years, the situation became very terrible – there were always tricks going on like this. So he snapped at Liu Hanxiang. “If that is the case, compensate her with money!”
