Chapter 230 She Knows Everything

Su Zhizhi: "You can't move the stone pillars or lift the luggage. You should train your strength yourself. What does it have to do with me?"

When Murong Ming heard Su Zhizhi mention his embarrassing moments, he thought Su Zhizhi was making fun of him.

His mind was on fire, and he subconsciously ordered: "Catch her for me!"

After Murong Ming finished speaking, he realized that there was no one to serve him except He Wenhan.

He Wenhan had never seen how powerful Su Zhizhi was and wanted to catch her.

clang!

A cold light flashed, and a sharp knife was unsheathed, standing in front of He Wenhan.

Yuan Caiwei glared at him: "If you want to catch Zhizhi, catch my knife first!"

Yuan Chi learned the Wu family's spearmanship, but Yuan Caiwei was not interested in spearmanship. She liked to wield a sword since she was a child.

The knife she was using now was one that Yuan Chi had spent a fortune to have Wu Ya forge for his daughter when he was in Black Bandit Mountain. Wu Ya had learned from the mistakes he made for Xue Che's sword and had made it small and light, suitable for a child in his early teens.

He Wenhan was blocked by Yuan Caiwei's knife and took a step back: "What do you want to do?"

Then, there was a snap.

Su Zhizhi whipped He Wenhan towards her.

He Wenhan was so frightened that he closed his eyes and squatted down with his head in his hands.

The whip didn't come down on him, but hit a clod of earth under a nearby tree.

He Wenhan and Murong Ming saw the clod of earth being beaten to pieces.

Yuan Caiwei cheered: "Good!"

Su Zhizhi held the whip, her momentum undiminished:

"You might as well try taking another step forward."

Murong Ming was frightened by the momentum of Yuan Caiwei and Su Zhizhi brandishing knives and whips. In front of him, there was no one else blocking him except He Wenhan who was holding his head in fear.

The sound of the whip hitting him made his flesh jump, but he still said with bravado:

"Do you know who my father is?"

He Wenhan stood up holding his head and shouted:

"Do you know who my grandfather is?"

Yuan Caiwei retorted: "Don't you know it yourself? Why are you asking us?"

Murong Ming choked for a moment before saying:

"I am the son of Prince Gong."

Su Zhizhi looked at Murong Ming with a pair of clear black and white eyes, and uttered three words clearly:

"I know."

She saw Murong Ming and his son on the day she came to take the exam. She looked up and looked at them carefully.

The man was wearing a purple brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist and the sun and the moon embroidered on his clothes.

The man had almond-shaped eyes, fair skin, and a slightly plump body under his clothes.

Su Zhizhi heard others call that man "Prince Gong".

She also remembered very clearly that the wimp her mother was talking about was Prince Gong.

On the way to the capital, she secretly thought about what it would be like if she met her biological father in the capital and what her biological father looked like.

But the moment she actually saw me, she was very calm, so calm that she didn't feel anything at all.

It was like meeting a stranger in fancy clothes.

He never patiently held her hand and practiced calligraphy stroke by stroke, never covered her with the quilt that had been kicked off at night, never rubbed her brows and repeatedly scolded her when she made mischievous mistakes, and never drank the water she soaked with wintersweet flowers...

He has no connection with her at all.

Su Zhizhi didn't say much when she saw Murong Xun, and she didn't mention anything about him after returning home, so that Hao Ren and Wu Yingniang thought that Su Zhizhi didn't know.

But she knew, she knew everything.

She was never a silly child.

Murong Di said that a tiger will eat its own cubs.

She understood that not all parents in the world love and protect their children.

It’s not that she really can’t figure out many things, she just doesn’t care and doesn’t think about them.

Su Zhizhi said to Murong Ming:

"I know your father is Prince Gong, and you are the prince of the palace."

Murong Ming finally regained a trace of pride on his face and threw the bag at Su Zhizhi's feet:

"It's good that you know. Believe it or not, we will make your father pay for it later! This prince asked you to carry the things because he is giving you face."

Su Zhizhi kicked Murong Ming's bag away:

"Listen carefully, I also have a father. My father is smart and handsome, my mother is a martial arts expert, and I am both smart and good at martial arts. There are no fools in our family."

"My father is the Emperor's Imperial Merchant. He works for the Emperor and is his man. How can you touch the Emperor's people casually? Are you more powerful than the Emperor?"

Su Zhizhi had seen Li Shaoer's domineering behavior at Mingde Academy, and the people at Heishan Prefecture expected that Su Zhizhi would encounter the same thing in Chang'an.

Bullying exists in every college, regardless of location.

Before school started, for several nights in a row, everyone gave Su Zhizhi some advice:

"If anyone uses an official position to pressure you, bring out the dog emperor."

"Remember, our Township Chief Hao is now acting as a lackey to that dog emperor. We must rely on the emperor's power and use his strength to our advantage."

"I can bear the wrath of the dog emperor, but others? Don't even think about it!"

"Don't hit people openly. We have plenty of strength and means in secret."

“…”

Su Zhizhi studied hard and put his knowledge into practice.

As expected, Murong Ming did not respond. No matter how stupid he was, he would not dare to say in public that he was older than his uncle.

He Wenhan remained silent. His grandfather had said that the emperor should not be mentioned casually in public, as everyone was watching the He family.

"You, you..." Murong Ming held it in for a long time before finally saying, "Your father looks rustic and not good-looking at all! You're talking nonsense."

Su Zhizhi: …

Oh, I forgot that Dad is easy to change.

While the two sides were arguing, many students nearby gradually came over to watch.

I originally thought that the new female student would be bullied to tears, but looking at this, if the argument continues, it will probably be Murong Ming and He Wenhan who will cry.

The young dandies knew in their hearts that these two girls were not easy to bully.

Their aura didn't resemble that of two girls, but that of two tigresses.

"Alright, fellow disciples, stop arguing and go to your respective living quarters to put your things away."

Qi Fang, who was passing by, saw the conflict and came over to calm it down:

"Zhou Jijiu said that today is the first day of school. Anyone who causes trouble will be sent back directly."

Murong Ming thought about the situation in the mansion and didn't want to be sent back at all, so he stopped pestering.

He angrily picked up the bag on the ground and left with He Wenhan.

Su Zhizhi and Yuan Caiwei also put away their weapons.

"Come with me, my two junior sisters. I will take you to your room." Qi Fang was very friendly to the two junior sisters.

On the way there, Qi Fang introduced the layout of the martial arts hall to his two junior sisters.

The martial arts school covers a large area, almost half of the block. In Su Zhizhi's mind, it is as big as a dozen Mingde Academy!

There are several schools, and the training grounds are divided into many types.

There is an arena specifically for internal sparring, an armory for storing weapons, a quiet internal training room, a spacious martial arts arena, a rest house for healing, a library for collecting martial arts classics, living quarters, a dining hall...

What surprised Su Zhizhi the most was that there was even a special hidden weapon training room and a live water pool for practicing underwater kung fu.

Su Zhizhi and Yuan Caiwei were amazed and forgot all the unpleasantness they had just experienced.

"This is the courtyard of my two junior sisters." Qi Fang led Su Zhizhi and Yuan Caiwei to a clean small courtyard.

The bluestone paving in the courtyard was clean and smooth, with fresh sand filling the gaps between the bricks. Not a single dead leaf was to be found. There was a swing to the west, and behind it were clusters of small wildflowers growing from the base of the wall.

There are also round stone tables and stone benches in the courtyard, which are wiped clean.

Yuan Caiwei and Su Zhizhi were both surprised: "This entire yard is ours?"

Qi Fang saw that the two junior sisters' eyes were as cute as grapes, and he smiled and nodded:

"Jijiu Zhou specially arranged this. You must take good care of the two junior sisters."

"This is the first year the martial arts academy is recruiting female students. We don't have a dedicated dormitory for women, so we've allocated a separate courtyard for you two junior sisters. It's in a different direction from the men's dormitory so there won't be any misunderstandings. There's a separate hot water room and toilet, and someone comes to clean the courtyard every day. Although the courtyard is small, it's quiet. I hope you two junior sisters don't mind it."

"I don't mind, not at all." Su Zhizhi not only didn't mind, she was very satisfied.

The two of them were actually able to get their own courtyard, and the conditions were much better than those in Mingde Academy.

Su Zhizhi and Yuan Caiwei each went into the room to put down their luggage and found that the room was also very spacious, with large windows and good lighting, and the light and shadow could be cast on the bed.

Seeing that his two junior sisters had settled down, Qi Fang planned to leave.

But before leaving, he kindly reminded Su Zhizhi:

"Junior Sister Su, I know you're good at martial arts, but their family is powerful after all. What if they... Anyway, it's best to avoid them as much as possible."

Qi Fang had entered the martial arts academy last year and had seen even worse people than Murong Ming bully others. If anything really happened, those people would have families with powerful backers, and those without family backgrounds would suffer.

Su Zhizhi said generously: "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. You can just call me Zhizhi, but our village is also very powerful. As long as they don't provoke me, I won't do anything to them."

"Okay, junior sister, please pack up first." Qi Fang thought Su Zhizhi didn't understand, and left with a helpless smile.

Yuan Caiwei put her things away next door and came to talk to Su Zhizhi. She had some small change in her hand:

"My dad said he didn't want me to come to the martial arts school, but he actually secretly stuffed money into my bag and told me to buy whatever I wanted outside. Hahaha..."

"Yes, your father treats you very well." Su Zhizhi opened her bag.

Su Zhizhi's package was huge. In addition to a change of clothes, it also contained a large box of snacks like preserved fruits and meat, a set of pens and ink, a small bronze mirror, a comb, a slingshot...

Fortunately, Su Zhizhi is very strong, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to carry such a heavy bag.

Yuan Caiwei took the piece of preserved fruit handed to her by Su Zhizhi and chewed it, tasting the sweet and sour taste:

"Your family has prepared so many things for you."

Su Zhizhi pointed at the things in the bundle: "These are the clothes prepared by my mother, the snacks are prepared by Aunt Qiu and Sister Hua, the pens and ink are from my father, and this pen was made for me by my father..."

Yuan Caiwei ate the preserved fruit, and two dimples appeared on her cheeks:

"Your family loves you so much, too."

"Um."

Su Zhizhi smiled, revealing her white teeth as sharp as water chestnuts, with tiny golden rays in her eyes.

…

It's getting dark.

The lights in the courtyard of Heishan Mansion went out one after another.

Hao Ren finished reading a thick stack of account books, and his eyes felt a little tired.

After washing up, Wu Yingniang sat in the inner room and urged Hao Ren to go to bed early and not stay up late.

Hao Ren agreed repeatedly, went to wash up, came back, blew out the candle and went to bed.

The moonlight was pouring down as the couple lay on the bed holding hands.

Wu Yingniang suddenly asked, "Ah Ren, what did Zhizhi whisper to you at the entrance of the martial arts hall this morning?"

When Wu Yingniang asked this question, she felt a little jealous.

Zhizhi whispered to A'ren, but didn't whisper to her.

Hao Ren turned sideways, placed Yingniang's hand on his heart with a smile on his face:

"Yingniang, Zhizhi is fine."

Yingniang smiled: "Of course our daughter is good."

The spring night is quiet and the fragrance is floating in the air.

Hao Ren took off the mask on his face. His face hidden in the shadows was like black jade, with clear contours when he smiled.

There is a galaxy hidden in his clear eyes.

Amidst the dazzling starry sky, a girl with a flower-bud hairstyle stood on tiptoe towards him in the bustling street and whispered in his ear:

"Fortunately, you are my father. I only want you as my father, not anyone else's."
