Chapter 839: Saving People (4)
"Who can tell what he looks like with a mask on?" Chen Qiu said, "Mother is too partial. What if he has a scar on his face that makes him very ugly? Besides, how can you tell a person's character? I don't think he's that good."
"What do you know?" Luo Xueyan said, "A man of cultured knowledge is naturally elegant. Although I can't see this boy's face, his demeanor is quite good. Even if his face isn't that good-looking, his demeanor can make up for it. Besides, I've walked more bridges than you've walked roads. I can tell a person's character by looking into their eyes. You can't fake it."
Chen Qiu curled his lips: "I'm just partial."
"Chenqiu, you've had enough today." Luo Xueyan glanced at him, and then, remembering what happened before, she was immediately furious. "What's your intention in always targeting others? If you have time to be jealous of others, why not practice your martial arts? It only took a few moves for him to get the knife on your neck. Do you still have any shame in telling others about it?"
Chen Qiu hurriedly said, "I understand, mother. I will go to find father to practice martial arts now! Right now! Right away!" As he said this, he ran away.
Luo Xueyan looked at the wooden box on the table, which contained Chen Miao's wedding dress. She thought that such precious clothes should be locked up to be safe. She picked up the box and planned to put it in the warehouse herself, but she saw that there seemed to be a layer on the lid of the box.
Suspicion suddenly arose in her mind, and she opened the compartment. A small booklet wrapped in red cloth fell out from it.
On the other side, Shen Qiu was talking to Shen Xin.
"Dad, that Prince Rui has definitely been practicing martial arts for more than a few years. Judging from his appearance, he must have started practicing martial arts since he was a child. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to decide the winner with just a few moves." Shen Qiu thought for a moment and said, "Besides, his moves are also very cruel, even more powerful than those of the soldiers. Logically speaking, a royal family member shouldn't be so aggressive." After saying this, he said bitterly, "I was careless this time. Next time, I will definitely give him a beating that will make him look at me with new eyes!"
Shen Xin waved his hand and said, “Okay, you are no match for him.”
"Dad!" Chen Qiu was horrified. "You won't look down on me forever just because of my one mistake, will you? I really let my guard down this time. Who knew that he, a handsome white-faced scholar, was actually so talented? I..."
"Are these the hidden secrets?" Chen Xin interrupted him, a complicated look on his face.
"Dad?" Chen Qiu was puzzled: "What does this mean? Is there something else he is hiding from us? Is he not a good person?"
"Okay, you can go out now." Shen Xin said, "Don't let your thoughts wander. Practice your martial arts well."
Shen Qiu: “…”
He just lost once, but why did he become like a helpless scholar?
Shen Qiu left angrily. He planned to go to the training ground every day from today to compete with others. However... Before Shen Qiu left, he couldn't help but glance at Shen Xin.
Why does my father look so sad?
Shen Xin was indeed very worried, and this worry was gradually magnified in his heart at this moment, almost to the point where he could no longer conceal it. He wanted to do something to divert his attention, but the more he did so, the more he kept thinking about this matter.
But he couldn't tell anyone. If he told others, he didn't know how big a change it would cause.
He had asked Shen Qiu to test Prince Rui's martial arts, intending to see if he was qualified to be the Shen family's son-in-law. Before today, Prince Rui was just a name on Emperor Wenhui's imperial edict. The Shen family had no expectations of what he would be like. They viewed Prince Rui as an ambitious man with malicious intent, and that this marriage to Shen Miao was unequal.
