Chapter 754 Students Leave
"Ayan is right. I have asked Tianyin Pavilion to investigate to find out where the information came from." Jiang Suining said with a frown.
"Could it be Zhong..." Wei Yao guessed subconsciously, but stopped halfway.
She originally wanted to think that it might be Zhong Xingyun's doing, but when she thought of Zhong Yiyu, she felt that it was impossible.
The Zhong family is now preparing for Zhong Yiyu's funeral. Although Zhong Xingyun hated the girls' academy before, he probably doesn't have the energy to do these things under the current circumstances.
Thinking of this, Wei Yao couldn't help but sigh again.
"Zhong Yiyu had wanted to come to the Women's Academy and teach like her sister, but she didn't expect... that murderer was so cruel!"
"Things change all the time. Who could have imagined this would be the outcome when I met Zhong Yiyu before?" Lu Yan's tone was full of emotion and helplessness.
A knock on the door broke the gloomy atmosphere.
Three female students appeared at the door together.
"Is there anything wrong?" Jiang Suining asked.
"I, we want to leave the Girls' Academy."
The leading female student was named Yu Qin. She was one of the first students to register for the Women's Academy. The two people behind her were a pair of sisters, Li Liu and Li Ying.
Jiang Suining looked at the three of them and asked, "Are you scared because of the recent murders and want to go home and wait until the murders are over before coming back, or are you not coming back in the future?"
The three of them looked at each other, their faces becoming increasingly embarrassed. Finally, Yu Qin said in a low voice, "We won't come again."
"Yu Qin, you should know that it is very rare for women to have the opportunity to study. Although there are some rumors now, as long as this case is solved and the murderer is caught, everything will naturally be over. Do you really want to give up now?" Lu Yan couldn't help asking.
Yu Qin didn't speak immediately.
Li Liu looked helpless and embarrassed. "We don't want to give up just like that, but the rumors are too bad. Our parents sent a message to the academy, telling us to go home immediately. If we want to stay in the academy, we will no longer be recognized by them."
"That's right. My sister and I begged our parents for a long time before we were allowed to come to the Girls' Academy. Now that something like this has happened, if we continue to stay here, it will definitely annoy our parents, especially our father. If he gets angry, then we... may never be able to go home again." Li Ying also spoke up.
Yu Qin plucked up her courage and looked up at Jiang Suining and the others.
"Madam Jiang, Madam Lu, and Madam Wei, we really admire you and know that you have put a lot of effort into the Women's Academy. We also cherish the opportunity to study in the Women's Academy, but we really can't completely ignore the thoughts of our families. And..."
Yu Qin stopped talking before she finished, and lowered her head again with red eyes.
"Anything else?" Wei Yao asked, "Are you having any other troubles?"
Yu Qin lowered her head and did not answer. Li Liu at the side said, "There is also Sister Yu's fiancé. She was engaged since she was a child. But yesterday, Sister Yu's parents told her that her fiancé's family sent someone to deliver a message saying that if Sister Yu continued to stay in the Women's Academy, the two families would cancel the engagement."
Yu Qin took a deep breath. "When our two families got engaged, our family backgrounds were equal, but later my family gradually declined, and now I am marrying up. My parents attach great importance to this marriage. If I continue to stay in the Girls' Academy and this marriage is not possible, they will definitely be disappointed."
"But you can't give up everything else just because of a childhood marriage. You know, if you succeed in your studies and become a female official in the future, then your fiancé will be able to marry you."
"Ayao is right. We women cannot just live our lives on marriage. You also said that your family is in decline now. As the saying goes, a perfect match is not a good match. This marriage may not be a good match." Lu Yan advised.
"I also know that this marriage may not be a good match, but if I don't get married, I won't get the betrothal gift. I have a younger brother at home. I'm afraid that his future studies and marriage will all depend on my betrothal gift." Yu Qin smiled bitterly, "I don't want to live for others, but I can't do it. I really don't care about my family at all."
Studying at the Women's Academy was the only thing she had fought for. In fact, she did not expect to achieve academic success or even become a female official. She just wanted to experience a different life before getting married.
Of course, for a while, seeing everyone so full of energy and hope, she also wondered if there might be other possibilities for herself.
but now……
Those rumors were so ugly. If she really insisted on staying in the girls' college and the marriage was called off, she didn't know how she would go back and face her parents.
Moreover, she was indeed afraid that, as the rumors said, the murderer would target the girls' college next.
"Even if you want to help your brother, this is not the only way. You can't sacrifice your marriage just because your brother wants to study and get married." Wei Yao tried her best to persuade him again.
Yu Qin shook her head. "This doesn't count as sacrificing my marriage. After all, this marriage is indeed the best I can get right now."
"But……"
"Ayao." Jiang Suining interrupted Wei Yao and shook his head at her, indicating that she didn't need to continue.
Jiang Suining looked at Yu Qin and said, "If you have really thought it through, we will not stop you. But the Women's Academy is still open to you. If you regret it and want to come back, you can come back anytime."
"Okay, thank you, Lady Officer Jiang." Yu Qin breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I will go home later."
"Have the guards take you back. Even though it is daytime now, you still need to be cautious. You must also be careful when you return home."
Yu Qin and the others thanked him and left.
Wei Yao looked at Jiang Suining with a hint of disapproval on her face.
"Sui Ning, weren't you too quick to give in just now? If you persuade them a little more, maybe you can make them change their minds."
Lu Yan sighed and said, "Looking at the way Yu Qin and the others looked just now, it's clear that they have already made up their minds. Even if Sui Ning continues to persuade them, I'm afraid it won't produce any results. Instead, it will only make the relationship worse."
"Ayan is right. It is clear that someone wants to target the girls' college. It may be safer for them to return home than to stay in the college."
Jiang Suining smiled at Wei Yao and comforted her.
"I know you are disappointed, but some things cannot be achieved overnight. Some ideas and concepts need to be changed slowly. You can't be impatient."
