Chapter 58 Unsuitable and Unworthy
In the carriage at the entrance of the Jokhang Temple, Lu Yunzheng was already pointing to the sky and swearing: "Xizhi, believe me, I don't have any private feelings for Shen Jiasui. Everything I do is for the two of us."
Gu Xizhi raised her eyes to look at Lu Yunzheng and saw his mouth opening and closing, but she didn't hear a word Lu Yunzheng said.
She could no longer remember whether she initially approached Lu Yunzheng because she loved him or because she was jealous of Shen Jiasui.
Maybe both.
She used all means and finally drew Lu Yunzheng's attention away from Shen Jiasui.
She thought that Lu Yunzheng was the highest branch she could grasp, the person she could entrust her life to, but then, Ning Fengyu appeared, and then...
She tried her best to persuade Mrs. Lu and made up her mind to be with Yun Zheng, but Yun Zheng met Shen Jiasui in private and finally had second thoughts.
If so, why can't she...
Perhaps because Gu Xizhi acted too indifferent, Lu Yunzheng panicked and took Gu Xizhi into his arms, saying in a trembling voice:
"Xizhi, don't be silent, believe me."
Gu Xizhi slowly raised her hand, and at this moment she wrapped her arms around Lu Yunzheng's waist, whispering, "Yunzheng, I believe in you."
Lu Yunzheng thought that Gu Xizhi had finally stopped being angry with him, so he quickly hugged her tighter.
However, where Lu Yunzheng couldn't see, there was a strange light flashing in Gu Xizhi's eyes. Although there was a flash of hesitation, it seemed that she had finally made up her mind.

General Dingguo's Mansion.
As soon as Shen Jiasui returned to the courtyard, Ji Wan looked over eagerly and asked with a concerned and veiled look:
"Sui Sui, are you having fun today?"
Shen Jiasui tilted his head and thought about it. This trip was not really a pleasant one, but at least it reminded Jiang Xun. With his abilities, he would be able to avoid the tragedy that followed.
So she smiled and nodded.
Seeing this, Ji Wan murmured inwardly, it seems that Suisui and Lady Anyang were very happy to meet each other?
Seeing that his mother seemed to be in high spirits, Shen Jiasui started talking about the scenery of the Jokhang Temple while leisurely drinking tea.
Ji Wan was a person who could not keep secrets. Seeing that Shen Jiasui was quite satisfied with the trip to the Jokhang Temple, he could no longer hold back and said bluntly:
"Sui Sui, it seems like you really like Jiang Xun?"
Shen Jiasui was about to swallow a mouthful of tea, but her eyes widened in shock when she heard these words. The tea could not flow up or down, and she felt so choked that her face turned red.
Ji Wan thought that Shen Jiasui's thoughts had been exposed by her and her face turned red with shame. For a moment she was secretly annoyed at herself for being too rash, but at the same time she couldn't help feeling happy.
Okay, okay.
Apart from the mess in Bo's Mansion, Jiang Xun is a hundred times better than Lu Yunzheng.
"Sui Sui, it's okay, mother understands."
Ji Wan patted Shen Jiasui's shoulder and smiled teasingly with the expression of an experienced person.
Shen Jiasui finally swallowed the tea, and at this moment he suddenly remembered Lin Lao's question that was out of the blue -
What do you think of Xiuzhi?
Shen Jiasui was so frightened that he stood up suddenly and shouted: "Oh no! Where did this misunderstanding come from!"
.......
Shen Jiasui finally explained everything to Ji Wan, but he couldn't help but laugh when he saw his mother's disappointed face.
"Mother, please ask Dad to go back to Prince Rong as soon as possible. Lord Jiang and I are really not suitable."
Ji Wan had actually been slowly accepting Jiang Xun as her future son-in-law over the past few days. Now that she realized it was all in vain, she couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
"Forget it, since you don't have this intention, I'll let your father refuse it."
Shen Jiasui nodded repeatedly, already thinking about writing a letter to Aunt Zhou to remind her. At this moment, Ji Wan couldn't help but mutter:
"A talented man and a beautiful woman, how could it be inappropriate?"
These days, she had asked people to find out more about Jiang Xun's character, and the more she found out, the more she liked him.
It is indeed as my husband said, Jiang Xun has made too many enemies, and the path he takes is unpredictable, and his life and death are unpredictable, so he may not have a good ending.
But the Shen family is a military family, and they have that dream every year, so don’t they have to rely on their heads?
When she wanted to marry her husband, her father was not happy about it, but she insisted on marrying him.
Life is only a few short decades long. If you still worry about the future, won’t you be restricted and unhappy all your life?
She knows her daughter well, and Jiang Xun's way of dealing with people is definitely the kind of person that Sui Sui likes!
Shen Jiasui heard her mother's mumbling and was dazed. She tried to imagine herself leaning in Jiang Xun's arms and calling him husband.
The next moment, she shuddered and rubbed her arms in fear.
Blasphemy! This is a blasphemy against Lord Jiang!
"Amitabha."
Shen Jiasui quickly chanted the Buddha's name.
When Ji Wan saw Shen Jiasui's expression, she knew that she was the only one who was enthusiastic about this marriage, so she could only sigh, get up and leave.
Shen Jiasui sat there for a while, and after he calmed down, he thought carefully about what he had seen in the Jokhang Temple today.
After confirming that there were no omissions, she walked to the desk, picked up her pen and wrote a letter to Aunt Zhou.
Although I don’t know what Gu Xizhi said to Madam Lu, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. It’s always a good idea to remind Aunt Zhou.
Next, we will wait for news about the witchcraft case...
————
In the past few days, Jiang Xun stayed at Lin's house and left someone to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the wife of the Marquis of Anyang.
The so-called witchcraft is mostly evil magic that harms people. If it wants to become a big deal, the person being cursed must be in a high position and have great power.
Jiang Xun thought about it and thought that if the person behind the scenes wanted to put him to death, he would definitely use his mother to touch the emperor's reverse scale.
And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s birthday...is next month.
To curse a living person is a crime worthy of death, and to curse a dead person is even more unforgivable.
If this matter was reported to the emperor when he was completely unprepared, and it happened to be the prince's birthday, who could bear the emperor's wrath?
In order to deal with him, that man wanted to kill his mother and even the entire Anyang Earl's Mansion!
A cold light flashed in Jiang Xun's eyes, and he clenched his hands into fists. At this moment, the candles in the room burned out.
He just sat there motionless, never getting up to light the lamp, allowing himself to be engulfed by the darkness.
Knock knock knock——
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and a loud voice rang out: "Xiuzhi, I know you haven't gone to bed yet!"
Bang--
The door was pushed open with force, and the candlelight suddenly broke through the darkness and shone on Jiang Xun.
"What are you doing? You're not making any noise. Are you trying to scare an old man like me to death?"
Mr. Lin came in noisily, put the candlestick on the table, and said angrily:
"Hmph, did you offend Miss Shen in the Stele Forest that day?"
Jiang Xun raised his head upon hearing this, the gloom in his eyes had not yet dissipated.
Seeing this, Mr. Lin frowned, sat down next to Jiang Xun, sighed secretly, and became a little more serious.
"Look, you still refuse to marry. When I pass away, there will be no one to hold the candle for you or to light the way for you."
"I just got the news today that the Shen family has rejected Prince Rong. Miss Shen doesn't like you."
"Why are you so disappointing? Your master is the best at judging people. The girl from the Shen family is one in a million. It is your blessing to be with her."
"Oh, you're really a good girl, but you're just not good enough!"
The more Mr. Lin spoke, the angrier he became. Seeing Jiang Xun sitting there with no reaction at all, he couldn't help but feel discouraged.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jiang Xun suddenly stood up and walked towards the inner room, and finally spoke:
"That's fine. I am not worthy of Miss Shen. Please stop thinking about it, Teacher."
"you!"
Mr. Lin was furious and was about to teach him a lesson when he was suddenly stunned.
Wait, this sounds... not right!
He raised his head and stared blankly at Jiang Xun's back, and suddenly his eyes lit up!
