As Wei Meidai prepared to leave like this, Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but speak up, "Wei Meidai, isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?
After all, your master has been teaching you for so long, and you're not even willing to do this little thing for him?"
After the news of Gu Cangyun's fall spread, the students at Canglan Academy were very curious about how this matter would be handled.
Therefore, when Wei Meidai arrived, many people gathered around to find out the final outcome.
At this moment, seeing Wei Meidai's behavior, the disdain towards her from the crowd grew stronger.
"This Wei Meidai is really ungrateful, isn't she? After all, Gu Cangyun was her teacher for so long."
"I knew from the start that Wei Meidai had a bad character. She has gained so many benefits from Gu Cangyun, and now she's so stingy. It's truly rare."
"If it weren't for Wei Meidai, Gu Cangyun wouldn't have lost face yesterday. She's truly an ungrateful person."
The words of the crowd pierced Wei Meidai's heart like knives. Her face gradually turned ugly.
In her own words, no one would believe her, and even if she explained, it would be useless.
However, she didn't have much left on her...
Previously, in order to obtain the Transcendence Pill from Baili Hongzhuang, she had spent a lot of money. And now she had compensated again.
Her life used to be abundant, mainly because of Gu Cangyun. But now that Gu Cangyun had fallen, all she had was Gu Cangyun's house.
But the house couldn't be sold in a short time.
Even though she was already extremely helpless, Wei Meidai couldn't bear the accusations from the crowd and could only glare at Baili Hongzhuang and Xia Zhiqing in anger.
"I will return what belongs to my master in a few days!"
Watching Wei Meidai's departing figure, Baili Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt filling her clear eyes.
Just as she didn't want to see Wei Meidai, she believed that Wei Meidai wouldn't want to see her either.
According to reason, Wei Meidai should have just handed over the money and left in anger. The current approach didn't seem to fit her style.
Following Wei Meidai, Ling Jiaxin and the other two also came to compensate Baili Hongzhuang for the damage to their reputations.
Unlike their previous arrogant demeanor, Ling Jiaxin and the others were now full of flattery when facing Baili Hongzhuang.
Even though Xia Zhiqing sarcastically said a few words, it couldn't change the pleasing smiles on their faces.
They had made up their minds that from now on, they would never be enemies with Baili Hongzhuang. With this attitude towards Baili Hongzhuang, they only hoped that she would be generous enough to let go of the past grievances.
Seeing Ling Jiaxin and the others' attitude, Baili Hongzhuang understood that her goal had been achieved. She didn't have the intention to make things difficult for them anymore and casually let them leave after a few words.
When Baili Hongzhuang returned to her own room, she saw Emperor Beichen standing by the door, wearing a smile as he looked at her.
"Wife, did you count money until your hand cramped today?"
Emperor Beichen's mouth curled up with a wicked smile. He had a deep impression of his wife's love for wealth.
Seeing Emperor Beichen's meaningful smile, Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but recall the first time she met him.
Back then, this guy even tried to dodge paying a hundred gold coins!
