399 Suspected She Was Hallucinating
The academy had never accepted outsiders. But there was one thing he did not mention—Ding Nuo Academy was not something ordinary families could afford.
Puzzled, An Jiuyue asked, “If I remember correctly, Ding Nuo Academy has produced one top scholar and three second-place scholars in the palace examination in the past 10 years. There are more than 50 students who have graduated in the first rank1. Does no one want to enroll in a school like this?”
Ding Nuo Academy was the only school with three levels in the capital. Students were taught in the intermediate and advanced academies continuously. There was no need for them to change schools.
Did no one come to enroll in a school like this? Even if it was dilapidated, people would come hoping to achieve success and win recognition, right?
Of course, according to Elder Ding Nuo, there were no outsiders in Ding Nuo Academy. Hence, all these people were from Shang Secret Network, right?
It was amazing that they could install so many of their people in the royal court.
“Well… Ahem.” Ding Nuo coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
“Young Master, our fees are slightly higher because we have so many outstanding graduates.”
“How high?” An Jiuyue asked.
The fees should be no more than a few dozen taels of silver per year. It should not cost a few 100 taels of silver, right? If it did, no one would want to enroll because it would simply be a money-sucking school.
“200 taels of silver a month.” Ding Nuo stretched out two fingers.
boxn ovel. c0m“What?!” An Jiuyue suspected she was hallucinating.
What? 200 taels of silver a month? That’s 2,400 taels of silver a year! That’s really expensive! I won’t spend so much money studying in such a run-down place.
As expected, Elder Ding Nuo was right. Children from ordinary families could not afford to enroll, whereas children from wealthy families were pampered and would not be willing to suffer in a dilapidated place like this.
…
Outside Qiongzhi Courtyard…
A few shady figures were lurking around the courtyard. Although they held something in their hands to act like they were working, everyone could tell they were snooping on Qiongzhi Courtyard.
When Qian Yiyun arrived outside the Qiongzhi Courtyard, she noticed this scene.
A servant pretended to sweep the floor with a broom, but his eyes were fixed on the courtyard. The broom did not even touch the ground.
If he wanted to act, he should have put on a proper act! She would be furious if her people were like him.
“What the hell are you looking at?”
As she gritted her teeth and asked, she raised her leg and rudely kicked the servant in the back.
The servant screamed, and the broom slipped from his hand. He was sent flying by Qian Yiyun’s kick.
He did not even have time to bow and greet Qian Yiyun. He was so frightened that he scrambled away when he heard her voice. He did not dare stay here any longer.
Qian Yiyun’s maid walked forward and asked softly, “Princess, are we letting him off just like that?”
The Old Madam’s people are too bold! How dare she send people outside to spy on the Prince’s courtyard? Who does she think she is?
“Do you want me to send someone to deal with him?” she suggested.
“Forget it.” Qian Yiyun glanced at her and shook her head.
There were many servants like him in the Prince Zhan Yun Residence. Dealing with one would not solve the problem.
It would instead cause Xue Yingyue to rebel even more. She might cause many problems, and there would be a slew of troubles.
