Chapter 2143 Chu Di
"You have a fever. I'll go find a doctor."
Shangguan Chu wanted to leave in a hurry, but was held back by Xiao Jingheng. He said weakly, "Don't go. I don't want to see a doctor. Brother Shangguan, just go get me some medicine."
Hearing this, Shangguan Chu hesitated, but seeing that Xiao Jingheng was really insistent, she agreed and ran out to get medicine for him.
When Shangguan Chu brought the medicine over, he saw Xiao Jingheng had returned to his bed by himself. He was already delirious with fever and unconscious.
His lips moved as if he was muttering something. Shangguan Chu moved closer and was able to hear what he said clearly.
"Brother Chu, Brother Chu..."
"Brother Chu, Xiao Jingheng is calling me?" Shangguan Chu was shocked and stared at that handsome face blankly. She took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in her heart.
He poured out the pills from the bottle and fed them to him. Seeing that he stopped muttering, Shangguan Chu prepared to leave. However, he accidentally bumped into a wall of flesh as he turned around.
She raised her head and glanced ahead with tearful eyes, and instantly saw a disgusting face.
"Liu Mochen, why are you here?" Shangguan Chu gritted his teeth and was about to leave by bypassing him, but was pulled back by Liu Mochen.
He put his hands on the wall and blocked Shangguan Chu between the wall and his body.
"Shangguan Chu, you just bumped into me."
Hearing this, Shangguan Chu glanced at him and said calmly: "Sorry, I didn't see you."
"Is it just an apology?" Liu Mochen suddenly lowered his head and gradually approached Shangguan Chu's face. Just when Shangguan Chu became nervous and thought that he had seen through his identity, Liu Mochen suddenly withdrew his body.
He wiped his hands in disgust, chuckled and said, "Why don't you introduce your sister to me, and I'll be generous and not bother with you."
After hearing this, Shangguan Chu was stunned. When did she have a younger sister?
Suddenly, Shangguan Chu thought of what happened some time ago, and his face darkened: "You mean, Shangguan Qing?"
"Yes, it is Shangguan Qing. This young master fell in love with Shangguan Qing at first sight and would marry her. With the power and status of my Liu family, she will not be wronged if she marries into this family."
Liu Mochen's face was full of pride, he waved his folding fan leisurely, and said in a faint tone: "If she climbs up to me, it will also be good for you as her brother, isn't it?"
"At worst, I won't bully you anymore." Liu Mochen raised his hand and swore in a serious manner, his eyes full of anxiety.
Seeing this, Shangguan Chu couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart and was extremely embarrassed, so he quickly turned his head away.
"Qingqing has been feeling unwell lately and doesn't want to see any visitors. I won't help you."
Hearing her refusal, Liu Mochen did not give up. Instead, he blocked her way and continued to persuade her: "Shangguan Chu, I really won't bully you. I like Qingqing very much and will definitely take good care of her."
Under the moonlight, Liu Mochen's eyes were firm, which made Shangguan Chu feel a little embarrassed.
She pushed Liu Mochen away and said calmly, "It's inconvenient, Mr. Liu, please don't come to see me again."
As she said this, she was worried that Liu Mochen would not give up, so she hurried away.
Watching her gradually disappearing figure, Liu Mochen licked his cheek with the tip of his tongue and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Shangguan Chu, what are you so proud of? The fact that I can fall in love with Shangguan Qing is a blessing your family has cultivated for three generations."
"You really don't know what's good for you!" He shouted angrily, his eyes turned and he suddenly thought of something, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.
Wait until the next day.
Xiao Jingheng's fever subsided, and everyone finally arrived at Huafeng Mountain. They set up their gear and started writing poems.
Shangguan Chu was inspired by the scenery and wrote two poems in one breath. She was so focused on the creation that she didn't notice that there was a pair of peeking eyes behind her.
After seeing the content of Shangguan Chu's poem, Liu Mochen smiled triumphantly and walked away silently. At this time, Xiao Jingheng also came, and the two sat together to exchange poems.
A day passed quickly, and everyone packed up their things and went down the mountain to return home.
After everyone returned to the school, the teacher asked everyone to recite poems. In order, the first one was Liu Mochen.
"Liu Mochen, are you ready?"
The teacher asked sternly, and Liu Mochen immediately patted his chest and said leisurely: "Don't worry, teacher, I am ready."
As he spoke, Liu Mochen looked at Shangguan Chu, smiled mysteriously, and then recited the two poems, which shocked everyone in the room and filled them with praise.
Hearing the exact same verses of poetry, Shangguan Chu widened his eyes and looked at Liu Mochen in disbelief.
"He actually stole my poetry!" Thinking of this, Shangguan Chu was furious, but before he could find time to find fault, he was called up by the teacher.
"Shangguan Chu, you're next."
Now, time is running out and Shangguan Chu can't compose poetry again.
She had no choice but to bite the bullet and recite the same two poems. In an instant, the people below began to talk.
"Why is Shangguan Chu's poem the same as Liu Mochen's?"
"Nonsense, Master Liu read it first, so Shangguan Chu must not be able to write it, so he plagiarized Master Liu."
"People who plagiarize like this have really bad character and should not continue to stay in the academy."
Everyone was talking at once, mocking and ridiculing Shangguan Chu, having long forgotten her abilities at the poetry gathering. The Master also looked at her with disapproval.
"Shangguan Chu, how do you explain this?"
Hearing the Master's words, Shangguan Chu looked anxious and pointed at Liu Mochen: "Master, it was Liu Mochen who stole my poem, I didn't copy his."
"Master Shangguan, be careful with your words. How could I possibly steal your poem?"
"Yes, Master Liu is a descendant of an aristocratic family after all, and he is well-educated. But this Shangguan Chu..."
After she finished speaking, everyone looked at her with contempt and indignation again. Shangguan Chu had no way to defend herself and was so anxious that she almost cried.
Seeing this scene, Jamel Xiao instantly became anxious and pushed the crowd away.
"Master, I believe Shangguan Chu would not plagiarize. Her performance at the poetry gathering is obvious to all. As for the collision of their poems, why not give them enough time and let them write a poem on the spot."
"Use this to judge the results." After Xiao Jingheng finished speaking, the teacher's expression relaxed, and with a wave of his hand, he agreed to his plan.
Seeing that Xiao Jingheng was the only one willing to speak for him, Shangguan Chu was moved and gave him a grateful look. Xiao Jingheng also nodded slightly in response.
Looking at the two people interacting and their close relationship, Liu Mochen's face darkened. For some reason, he always felt a little unhappy.
Fortunately, both of them had some real talent and knowledge, so even though they had to compose poems on the spot, they managed to pass the test without any major problems. The matter was finally resolved, and soon, the academy was dismissed.
Shangguan Chu was about to go home when she was stopped by Wan Shufang. She looked at Wan Shufang and asked softly, "Madam, what's wrong?"
"Ah Chu, I found your father's medicine, but I have something else to do, so you may need to go get it in person."
Hearing this, Shangguan Chu showed joy on his face and nodded vigorously in response: "Okay, Madam, don't worry, I will definitely bring the medicine back."
