"The Seventh Prince is right. If he isn't punished severely, the rest of us won't stand for it."
"Expel him! Expel him!"
"Expel him..."
As soon as Sang Rui spoke, the wealthy students around him began to clamor.
"Quiet down! Expulsion is against the rules," Teacher Zhang interjected.
Sang Zhi stood at the entrance, his expression grim.
"Teacher, if he's not expelled, we won't accept it. From now on, we'll all start showing up late," Sang Rui said, giving Teacher Zhang no opportunity to defuse the situation.
The surrounding students voiced their agreement and rose to their feet.
Teacher Zhang was in a bind. Even if the Eighth Prince was out of favor, he was still a Prince. Moreover, the Eighth Prince excelled in all of his studies. But if he wasn't expelled, the other students would follow his example, making them difficult to discipline in the future.
