Chapter 367: Chapter 354: The Injustice of the Heavens

“The young servant has talked a bit too much, and may have disturbed you two guests, this dish of spiced broad beans is a specialty of our shop. Do taste it, consider it as our shop’s treat to you.”

“Thank you.” Zhuang Qingning expressed her gratitude, glanced at the waiter as he went downstairs to attend to other guests. When she looked at the dish of spiced broad beans in front of her, she suddenly remembered the phrase “an assortment of flavors”.

At this moment, Zhuang Ruman must be feeling this assortment of flavors.

Zhuang Qingning raised her eyes, and glanced downstairs.

The street was bustling with people, and Zhuang Ruman disappeared quickly.

Zhuang Yutian in the county town also heard about the incident between the Kong family and Zhuang Ruman’s family.

At first, he was shocked, then angry, but finally he felt gratified by the punishment Ding Gaochang imposed on everyone involved.

However, Zhuang Ruman was just expelled from the government school and beaten, which actually let him off lightly. This made Zhuang Yutian feel somewhat regretful.

But seeing Zhuang Ruman’s desperation and disappointment, Zhuang Yutian felt relieved.

People should never do bad things, and don’t think they can keep their deeds hidden forever. Eventually, their actions will be exposed to others.

Just like Zhuang Ruman at this moment.

Zhuang Yutian suddenly felt a flood of emotions. He wanted to discuss with Zhuang Qingning, but remembering her past conflicts with Zhuang Ruman s family and seeing her tranquil face at this moment, he swallowed his words.

He only raised his eyes and looked at the scrambling Zhuang Ruman.

After Zhuang Ruman quickly left the tea house, he ran a short distance, saw no one was following him, and then leaned on a nearby wall to catch his breath.

He was furious.

Those snobs!

When he first came up with that couplet, wasn’t everyone there in awe and admiration of him, praising him for his knowledge and talent? Now that he was down and out, they said he was intellectually inferior?

They didn’t think he had lost his talents, but those who saw that he was now a poor student again, who had been expelled from the government school and then driven out by the Kong family, took the opportunity to trample on him!

The more Zhuang Ruman thought about it, the angrier he became. His eyes filled with rage, as if he wanted to set the tea house on fire, he shot it several angry glances.

Such a lousy tea house, well deserving of barely any business!

Look at the time, the second floor is still…

Zhuang Ruman sneered, but when he saw the people sitting by the window on the second floor of the tea house, he was taken aback.

Wasn’t that Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Yutian?

Why were they here?

If they were here, did that mean they saw the conflict between him and the waiter, and also saw his embarrassment when he was driven away?

The encounter with Zhuang Yutian was not a big deal as they had no significant grievances; but Zhuang Qingning, who always looked down upon him was another story.

Even though he is her older cousin and a somewhat talented scholar, she always acted dismissively towards him.
