Chapter 105: Fourth Brother is Back
Since ancient times, beautiful women have been the source of many troubles. It is a big taboo for a woman to lose control like this.
If, if Su Luo was sent by someone who wanted to kill him, then he would be doomed.
It was not easy for Mo Jin to get to this point.
How could he be teased and bewitched by such a woman?
Mo Jin suppressed the discomfort and panic in his heart, glanced at Su Luo coldly, raised his eyes and looked sharply at Wen Zixi, trying to divert his emotions and conflicts:
"Master Wen, please don't let me get hold of anything."
Su Luo wanted to say a few more words of concern to him, but her face suddenly froze and became stiff. So, did Mo Jin come here today specifically to find something to hold against Wen Zixi and that’s why he surrounded this place?
If there really was something going on between him and Wen Zixi, would Mo Jin use it as leverage to deal with her? Was he using him, willing to sacrifice himself to deal with Wen Zixi? If that was the case, would Mo Jin still be attracted to her?
Su Luo clenched her fists slightly with a stiff expression.
Even Wen Zixi's expression turned serious.
Mo Jin glanced at Su Luo, sneered at her expression, and turned away.
After he drove her away, Su Luo stood there awkwardly, feeling as if she were being pricked by needles all over. It was so embarrassing for Wen Zixi to see all this, and her self-esteem seemed to be gone.
Wen Zixi wasn't quite sure what Su Luo said to Mo Jin, but he could guess that there must be some connection between the two.
"Xiao Qi." Wen Zixi stood behind Su Luo, gazing at her deeply. He wanted to say something several times but swallowed it back, turning it into a sad sentence with mixed feelings, "What the Regent can do for you, the Master can do too. You don't have to..."
Su Luo's body trembled slightly, as if someone had exposed the dirtiest secret in her heart.
For a moment, she felt ashamed of herself.
Using beauty to please others and achieve one's goals is despicable.
But what choice did she have?
She used to be just a daughter favored by her family. She was carefree and had no need to manage social interactions. After the death of her six fathers and brothers, the fastest way for her to protect herself and climb up the social ladder was... was... to rely on power.
Therefore, Wen Zixi did not blame her, but only felt sorry for her.
"Master only hopes that you can stay away from the Regent."
Wen Zixi's throat was dry. He knew it was inappropriate for him to say this, but he couldn't help it. He walked in front of Su Luo and looked at Su Luo, who was a little flustered like a deer. His voice was gentle and melancholy:
"Xiao Qi. The Master can protect you. Don't get close to him."
Su Luo clenched her fist slightly, then released it after a long moment, saying in a low voice, "Thank you, Master."
Then he walked out slowly and met Su Xian, who was wearing a blue robe and a mask.
The two looked at each other.
A beam of light happened to diffuse down from the clouds and hit his slightly wrinkled clothes. Su Xian saw Su Luo's red eyes and broken gaze.
Su Xian grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.
Wen Zixi wanted to chase after him, but there was no one on the street.
In the carriage.
Su Xian picked up the teapot, poured water silently, and pushed a cup to Su Luo.
"Fourth brother..." Su Luo called carefully.
Su Luo's hand with beautiful finger bones picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. The water dripped across his jaw and Adam's apple. He pressed the teacup on the table with a clang, and his fingertips trembled slightly for a moment.
"Why are you entangled with the Regent?" he asked.
Su Luo was about to pounce on Su Xian, but she paused for a moment, holding back her tears. The longing for her family from countless nights ago surged in her throat.
Seeing her about to burst into tears, Su Xian, who had been trying hard to hold back his tears, finally gave up. He lowered his head dejectedly and said hoarsely with extreme exhaustion: "I'm sorry, it's my brothers' fault... that Xiao Qi has to suffer like this..."
Su Luo couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into his arms, crying uncontrollably: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, fourth brother, you are still alive, you are back alive."
"Fourth brother...Fourth brother..."
She cried so hard that Su Xian's heart was broken.
Su Xian's face was depressed and his eyelids were red. He hugged his sister tightly and stroked her thin back gently.
The large palm with warm calluses could almost feel her bones under the skin.
My sister is too thin, at least ten pounds thinner than before.
Su Xian felt a piercing pain in his heart. With Su Luo buried in his arms, he cried silently from an invisible angle.
Su Luo hugged him and cried loudly, while Su Xian held back his tears.
After an unknown amount of time, when the carriage stopped in front of the Su Mansion, Su Luo looked at him with her face covered in makeup: "Fourth brother, are you coming in?"
After a moment of silence, Su Xian shook his head slightly in pain: "No."
"Fourth brother, what are you doing?" Su Luo asked him anxiously, "Now we are close relatives who depend on each other for survival. If you don't tell me, do you think I won't be implicated?"
Su Xian avoided his gaze and remained silent.
"Instead of protecting me, I'd rather let me achieve nirvana."
"If something happens to you, will you not avenge the Su family?"
"If anything happens to you, who will protect mother and clear father's name except me?"
Su Luo gritted her teeth and questioned.
"I'm investigating Marquis Jing'an." Su Xian's face was cold and serious. "That's your husband's family. I don't want you to get involved—"
"No!" Su Luo suddenly cried out sharply, "They just want to eat me and wipe out my entire family. Zhou Yan even had an affair with my cousin Li Jiaojiao and gave birth to a pair of children before marriage!"
Su Xian's whole body shook violently, almost in disbelief, and then he felt as if he was cut by a thousand knives. He was shocked and angry, and his heart was burning with anger. With a bang, he slapped the table hard, and the coffee table split instantly.
"I once trusted him so much..." Su Xian clenched his fists, veins bulging.
"I used to trust him very much..." Su Luo sneered.
"I'm going to kill him!" Su Xian picked up the knife and was about to leave.
Su Luo rushed forward and hugged his arm tightly, not allowing him to get off the carriage. Her tearful eyes were filled with anxiety: "Fourth brother, don't alert the enemy. You barely escaped death. I've already lost five brothers and my father. I don't want to lose you."
"I can't afford to lose any more family members."
"It's so hard to be without family." She had experienced this in her previous life, walking alone in the cold darkness for a long time.
Su Xian's hand holding the knife was shaking. He shed a tear and gently pressed Su Luo's head on his shoulder. The tears dripped onto her hairpin. He gritted his teeth, feeling pain and guilt.
His sister, whom he cherished like a treasure, was treated like this by the Marquis's Mansion.
He wants them to pay for their blood debt with blood.
"It's Fourth Brother who's incapable." Su Xian said sadly with a wry smile, "Fourth Brother has never made you shed a single tear before."
He stretched out his hand and caught a line of tears falling from Su Luo. The tears were warm, but like iron just taken out of a furnace, they hurt him a lot.
so……
Su Luo thought, she had been loved by six brothers, so how could she really like Mo Jin...
How could she like someone who tortured her, belittled her, insulted her, and bullied her?
