That Zhang Zihao, seeing that Jun Ning had not come to school, thought that Jun Ning was backing down, afraid of him. He further wanted to muddle through the matter of reciting the Three Character Classic, so he spent his days finding trouble with Jing Shu.
Today, he came again.
He brought with him a few young nobles he was friends with and approached Jing Shu's desk.
He held the teacher's ruler in his hand, knocking it on Jing Shu's desk repeatedly, each knock making Jing Shu tense up with fear.
Jing Shu had been hit on the palm with a ruler by the Crown Princess Consort since she was young. She feared the ruler, and she feared Zhang Zihao wielding it against her.
Zhang Zihao admired Jing Shu's face, taut with fear, and smiled, "Jing Shu, didn't you say your little aunt would come to school once she recovered? I heard she's better now, so why hasn't she come to school yet?"
Jing Shu said nothing because she didn't know either.
