Jealousy (21)
After-school tutoring was mainly for one-on-one time with Alice. Later, when Song Shu tutored Klein and Anthony, she was not so dedicated.
Because Song Shu and Bo Wen were in a cold war in the ancient house, from that day on, Bo Wen seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and some people in the ancient house were also not very well behaved, which made Song Shu anxious and he had no time to prepare more things.
But Song Shu might not prepare even if he had time. In his opinion, Klein and Anthony were both Alice's enemies. Alice's enemies were his enemies, and there was no reason for him to help his enemies become stronger.
Just these few days when tutoring Anthony and Klein, Song Shu received this comment from Anthony.
——"Teacher, you are so partial to Ellis."
The smiling, frivolous and bad tone seemed to be just a casual remark, but Song Shu knew Anthony's bad temper very well, and there must be a sharp edge hidden in his words.
Anthony doesn't like Alice, and Alice doesn't know how Anthony will torture her when she returns.
Song Shu frowned and rolled his eyes in his heart. Nonsense, if I don't stand by my wife, who else can I stand by? My wife is the most important person in the world, and my wife's enemy is my enemy. Anthony, be careful when you talk to me.
Song Shu explained without any emotion: "His foundation is relatively poor, so naturally he cannot compare with the two princes."
Originally, the tutoring time for a week should be one day for each of the three princes, but Song Shu thought about it and decided it was not cost-effective. He didn't have many classes in Alice's class, and he wanted to see Alice every day, so it would be best to tutor Alice every other day.
So Song Shu gave Alice a day of tutoring alone, and Anthony and Klein the same day. After all, he was the teacher, so he had the final say. He was really a smart guy.
555: [Don't forget, you are from the camp of the Great Prince Klein.]
Song Shu nodded: "I understand, I understand. I am in Cao's camp but my heart is with Han. Everything I have belongs to Alice."
555: [……]
You know nothing.
Song Shu's response was impeccable. After all, Alice was indeed the youngest among them and had the worst foundation.
The place where they tutor is in a small pavilion, surrounded by gurgling water and koi carps swimming leisurely in the pond.
Anthony threw some fish food into the water and watched the fish fight over it. This was his favorite scene to watch, but now he felt a little unhappy.
Because of Song Shu’s words.
Everyone knew that Song Shu was biased, but no one said anything. Now that he brought it up, Song Shu's excuse was plausible. Alice was not present, and Klein was pretending to be drinking tea.
It's boring. The fight still can't start with one person missing.
The boy with the baby face frowned uncharacteristically, and someone was bound to be in trouble next.
Song Shu saw it clearly and was ready to make a move. He was not a petty person, but Anthony had given Alice too many troubles in the game, so was it okay for him to teach him a lesson?
Besides, Anthony looks like he deserves a beating.
Song Shu put the quill on the table and looked at Anthony. "I thought about it and you do have a point. I only taught you magic theory. Apart from the autumn outing, I didn't discipline you much in practical aspects."
Anthony was originally bored, but when he heard this, he had a bad feeling.
Song Shu continued, "You are so weak in actual combat that you really need to be strengthened. How about you go to the Dark Forest to hunt two fifth-level monsters in the next two days?"
Anthony: “…”
Actual combat is Anthony's weakness. Hunting a fourth-level monster is already difficult for him. Now he has to hunt two fifth-level monsters and it will take one day to complete. This is simply hellish difficulty.
Anthony couldn't laugh anymore, and the smile shifted to Song Shu's face.
The young man has a relaxed posture, with long black hair falling sideways, red lips and white teeth, and lively eyebrows and eyes.
He urged: "You should leave now, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have enough time."
“…”
Anthony smirked, as if trying to think of an excuse to refuse.
But Song Shu insisted that he go, raising an eyebrow in confusion: "Huh? Didn't you say I'm partial?"
Anthony curled his lips, said nothing more, and left with an inexplicable expression.
Hehehe, you pretentious freak, I'll let you bully Alice. Song Shu vented his anger for Alice, and felt relieved. It seemed that all the depression caused by Bo Wen in the past few days disappeared.
He didn't care whether Anthony really went hunting by himself or asked others to hunt, as long as he could annoy Anthony, he would succeed.
Song Shu continued to pick up the feather pen to modify the picture.
Klein, who had watched the entire process, finally spoke: "Teacher."
The young man didn't even raise his head. "Why, do you also think I'm biased?"
Klein shook his head. "No, I just wanted the teacher to see the picture I drew."
A thin piece of paper was handed over and Song Shu took a look at the picture on it.
Song Shu is like a parent who dotes on his child. Although he doesn't want to admit that other people's children are better than his own, other people's children are so better that he is speechless.
Klein has done a good job on his homework these past few days. He draws good pictures and his practical skills are impeccable.
Still worse than Alice.
Song Shu picked and chose, but thinking about the possibility of colluding with Klein in the future, he decided to lay the groundwork now.
The feather pen dripped ink on the paper. Song Shu considered: "Klein, you are very talented."
But my wife is a person who is good at governing the world.
"I will report all your outstanding academic performance to your father truthfully."
Of course, I will also praise my wife more.
"I'm very optimistic about you."
I prefer my wife.
In fact, as the plot progresses to this point, it is time for Song Shu to stand on the same front as Klein.
The fight for the throne has little to do with Song Shu. He only needs to stand in Klein's camp as a mascot and exert his influence as a duke, and naturally others will rush to follow Klein.
Sure enough, it is still not as good as his wife's ability to attract others with personal charm.
Due to his character setting, the person Song Shu praised in his heart was not the same person, but his words had already expressed his attitude, and Klein was not stupid, so he could naturally hear it.
One can also hear the reservations hidden in Song Shu's words - Song Shu actually had a better candidate, but for some reason, Song Shu had to choose him.
The goal had been achieved, so Klein shouldn't have cared.
It was indeed as Song Shu thought. He just needed Song Shu as a mascot and didn't need Song Shu to do anything else. As long as Song Shu agreed to stand on his side, his goal would be achieved.
It’s just… Klein looked at the young man who was lowering his head to edit the picture.
Why is he so unhappy?
…
In the blink of an eye, a week of classes passed and everything was progressing steadily. Song Shu felt that he had performed really well.
"Hehehe, my relationship with Alice isn't so strained now, and I've even infiltrated Klein's camp. The plot is progressing steadily!"
"555, do you think I have a talent for playing villains?"
【…. 】
As an artificial intelligence, 555's responsibility is to supervise Song Shu in completing tasks. Even though Song Shu feels happy now that he is doing a good job, big data tells 555 that things may be the opposite of what Song Shu imagined.
555 wanted to say something, but seeing Song Shu looking so happy, he swallowed his words back, [As long as you are happy. ]
After all, you may not be so happy in the future.
Song Shu continued to smile foolishly, not understanding the hidden meaning of the system at all.
Today is actually the day he goes to the palace to report to the king.
Since the incident in the study, Bo Wen has been missing. Song Shu did not harass Shu Ji and he spent a few days comfortably.
Originally thought that Bai Wen would follow him into the palace today, but it turned out that Bai Wen seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth. Except for those spies, Song Shu had no chance to contact Bai Wen.
In response, Song Shu of course opened the champagne. The biggest pervert was gone, and Song Shu felt so relaxed.
Also missing were the brothers Shuilan and Qingxiao. Shuilan was ill, and Qingxiao seemed to have taken leave to take care of her brother.
Song Shu also understood this. It was preparation for rebellion, which was understandable.
The carriage moved slowly along the palace road. Song Shu held a book in his hand and pretended to read it, but soon he dozed off and fell asleep.
…
Shui Lian was really sick. When he came out of Song Shu's bedroom that day, he was unlucky enough to be splashed with a basin of water, and he started to have a fever the next day. In this case, healing magic could help him get better quickly, but Shui Lian didn't want to.
The fever and headache caused by the high fever tortured the body and also made Shui Lan's consciousness fall into deeper struggle and pain.
He seemed to be trapped in that gloomy bedroom from which he could not get out no matter how hard he tried.
He asked Qing Xiao for help, and Qing Xiao said that Song Shu was not a bad person.
He looked at Song Shu. Song Shu, who had ignored him from beginning to end, would say to Qing Xiao, "You have beautiful eyes."
Qingxiao blushed and looked at his father.
Then what is he?
Shui Lian tried hard to find the meaning of her existence in the suffocating atmosphere.
The answer is no.
The immature request for love and the trembling hands when taking off clothes were all rejected.
Shui Lian thought, he is so shameless, snatching the person his brother likes. But when he came to his senses painfully, he found that this sanctimonious father should be the person they hate. How did things turn out like this?
…
Shui Lan couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.
He even thought that being sick was a good thing, fortunately he was sick. Being sick gave him an excuse not to see the so-called father, and he could... he could stay here with Qing Xiao until they left.
"Qing Xiao, please take leave with me."
In the dim room, Shui Lian hid himself in the quilt, revealing a pale chin. He was drowsy but knew what he was saying. "We will be leaving in two days. You have to stay in the room and make some preparations."
Qing Xiao was a little worried about Shui Lian's condition, "Brother, are you really okay? Do you need to postpone the plan for two days?"
Shui Lan, who had her back to Qing Xiao, turned around. Her long silver hair was disheveled like dead grass and she looked pale and sick. She looked at Qing Xiao with self-aware malice, and the ferocious shadow behind her looked like an evil ghost.
"Do you still want to stay here?"
"Didn't you want to leave the most before? Qing Xiao, did you lie to your brother?"
Qing Xiao felt inexplicably flustered: "Of course I didn't!"
Shui Lian lowered her eyes, and the demon also fell silent. "Then you stay here, and don't contact your father for the next few days. Do you understand?"
He murmured, "We'll leave in two days and go somewhere else together."
Am I leaving...Does my father have to die too?
Qing Xiao couldn't get the answer to the question, he only knew that he didn't want anything to happen to Song Shu.
His father was innocent, but his brother didn't believe it. Qing Xiao was distraught and rarely agreed with Shui Lan. Then the devilish look appeared again, staring at Qing Xiao, "Qing Xiao, don't you want to leave?"
Qing Xiao bit her lip, her eyes reddened, "Let's go, brother. Let's go together."
