Chapter 2457: Extra - Ah Yun, Your Disguise Has Been Exposed


When Meng Yunzheng left the palace, the sky had already turned completely dark.


Today was the last day of the lecture at the academy, and he wouldn't need to attend tomorrow. Therefore, after the lecture ended, a banquet was arranged in the palace. After having dinner, he was summoned by the Emperor for a private meeting.


Knowing that this would be a farewell, they didn't know when they would see each other again, so they talked for a long time.


If it weren't for the need to leave the palace before the curfew, he might not have been able to part with the Emperor.


It was quite late when he finally left. He got into the carriage and headed back to the inn, not noticing that not far away, servants sent by Prince Zheng were waiting to call out to him.


The carriage was moving quickly, and it didn't take long for it to come to a stop.


Meng Yunzheng was carrying a food box. He remembered that the last time he brought Mengmeng to the palace, she really liked the snacks from the palace kitchen, so he had brought a box of them for her.


He was in a good mood, not knowing that as soon as he lifted the hem of his robe and entered the inn, he would see a group of people standing up in the lobby below.


Meng Yunzheng was taken aback and met the eager and expectant gazes of student Yan and many other students. He furrowed his brows slightly.


"Why are all of you here? Did you encounter some difficulties in the debate at the teahouse today?"


Judging by their expressions, it seemed like they were facing a significant challenge.


He counted them briefly, and all the students from the Zhenglu Academy were present.


Meng Yunzheng took a few more steps forward, but all the students simultaneously stepped back.


Meng Yunzheng, "..."


In the end, it was student Qiao who couldn't hold back and asked with excitement, "Master, are you really Master Mountain Dweller?"


Meng Yunzheng was shocked. How did they find out?


He looked at each of them, and everyone's eyes were filled with complex emotions.


Could they not be complex?

Since they learned the truth this afternoon, their expressions had been in a daze.


Who would have thought that the person they frequently discussed, the Mountain Dweller, was right in front of them? They even remembered their previous conversation when they mentioned that the Mountain Dweller had painted two pictures for the academy, which depicted their family of three in vibrant colors. They had regretted not coming to the Zhenglu Academy a few years earlier, thinking they might have had a chance to meet the Mountain Dweller while he was painting.


At that time, when they spoke these words, the Mountain Dweller was right beside them, appearing calm and indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him. They were still deeply impressed by that.


Who knew that the person they discussed so much was right beside them, their Master.


Meng Yunzheng... You've fooled them so badly.


Thinking of this, the students still looked a bit resentful.


Meng Yunzheng coughed lightly and asked, "How did you all find out?"


Before anyone could answer, there was a clattering sound as Mengmeng ran out and threw herself at his legs. "Daddy," she said with a grievance, "my big bunny is gone."


Meng Yunzheng was taken aback. "How did it disappear?"


"Prince took it," Mengmeng said angrily.


Meng Yunzheng looked up at Shu Yu, who had come out behind Mengmeng. "Prince? Prince Zheng?"


He knew that the teahouse they had gone to belonged to Prince Zheng.


Shu Yu stood on the steps and said with a somewhat gloating tone, "Yes, this afternoon, your daughter showed the painting she had created to everyone at the teahouse for them to appreciate. Hmm, it's the one with the colorful portrayal of our family of three. Husband, do you remember what was on that painting?"


Meng Yunzheng's pupils constricted as he recalled.


So that's how it happened. That's how it happened.
