Chapter 58: I Can't Bear to Suffer Any Injustice
Su Luo frowned slightly: "Hmm...?"
The Dali Temple Secretary personally brought the horse stool and set it up. Su Luo lifted her skirt slightly and got into the carriage, followed closely by Wen Zixi.
Mo Jin walked behind the two of them, watching the carriage in front leave without any warning, and sneered.
"Is Su Luo stupid?" Mo Jin continued to laugh.
Chen Song didn't dare to speak, and the more tactful Qin Zhengyu said "Ah?"
If you can't tell who has more power between the Grand Tutor and the Regent, isn't that stupid?
Mo Jin lifted his robe and took a sip of cold tea.
The carriage in front was made of pearwood and painted in a light color. The interior was elegantly decorated, with seasonal gardenias placed on the low table and cedar incense burning in a very stylish way.
Simple, elegant, refreshing and pleasant.
It fits Wen Zixi's aura very well.
Su Luo just felt that Wen Zixi was so perfect, not like a human, but like a fairy. She didn't speak, and didn't know what to say. She just sat there quietly and felt very harmonious and comfortable.
Wen Zixi picked up the kettle and the upside-down cup: "Queshe, white tea, or thorny rose? What do you want to drink?"
"Roseberry tea will be fine. Thank you, Master."
"There's no hot water in the carriage, so we can only make cold brew. You..." Wen Zixi seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Is it convenient to drink?"
"It's convenient." Su Luo pursed her lips and smiled.
"After your father and brothers died, I..." Wen Zixi paused when he mentioned Su Luo's six deceased father and brothers. He observed her expression and continued after seeing that she was not obviously sad. "I also went to offer sacrifices. Your eldest brother and third brother were the most talented among all the people I taught."
Wen Zixi had always gotten along well with her six brothers, or perhaps it could be said that Wen Zixi was a very good person. All the students he had taught praised him, from princesses and princes to ordinary students, all of them had great faith in him. Therefore, Wen Zixi was one of the powerful officials in the court that Mo Jin could not shake, and the other one was the prime minister.
Although he was young, he was very versatile and had made many achievements. After he won the top three places in the imperial examinations at the age of seventeen, he gradually stood out from the Hanlin Academy and was recommended as a tutor. He had students everywhere and was regarded as a god by Confucian scholars.
The Prime Minister is difficult to deal with simply because he is too old and has too deep a foundation.
Su Luo didn't dare to touch such a pure person like the moon, for fear of defiling her.
But when he mentioned his father and brother, Su Luo suddenly lowered her eyes. Wen Zixi suddenly hated herself for bringing it up...
Therefore, Wen Zixi quickly changed the subject: "If Miss Su has any difficulties, you can come to the Taifu Mansion at any time."
There was a hint of light in Su Luo's eyes, but it quickly dimmed. If it wasn't an urgent matter, she wouldn't go to the Taifu Mansion for help. After all, some favors can only be used once, and people may not help if you ask too many times.
But she still responded with a "Okay."
"I..." Wen Zixi's voice suddenly became softer, "I am your brother's teacher, so... you can also treat me as your teacher. Don't be polite when talking to a teacher."
"Okay, Master." Su Luo's cherry lips curled up into a big smile. It was the first time she had smiled like this in such a long time.
It's very eye-catching.
When the wind blew up the cloth curtains of the carriage, Mo Jin felt that this scene was ridiculous and eye-catching in the carriage moving side by side.
Su Luo is really utilitarian.
She's not done tempting him yet, she's tempting Wen Zixi right under his nose?
That’s fine, but isn’t that just a lack of perseverance?
She is just a plaything. Shouldn't she just do her job conscientiously and be a good plaything in the palm of his hand? Should she become Wen Zixi's plaything just because she doesn't get any return?
Those thoughts passed through my mind quickly like fallen leaves swept by the wind.
The carriage arrived at the silver shop in half an hour.
The Dali Temple Secretary reined in his horse, pulled up the Xiang bamboo curtain and said, "Taifu, we're here."
As if he hadn't expected to arrive so soon, Wen Zixi remained silent in the carriage. After a few breaths, he said, "Okay."
He looked at Su Luo thoughtfully: "If you are free someday, the teacher would like to invite you to go for an outing at Feiyu Mountain..."
After saying that, he felt something was wrong. Now Su Luo was married, how could she be with a stranger like him...
Wen Zixi's hands drooped on his knees, clenching nervously: "I spoke out of turn. If you and the prince are free, the three of us can go together..."
Su Luo knew that Wen Zixi attached great importance to etiquette, but she was different. Like Mo Jin, she was not a good person. She had long thrown these etiquette and dogmas behind her. She smiled and said, "It's okay, Master. I have a deep conflict with the Marquis' Mansion. Now I have returned to my parents' home, so I can still go outing with you."
"What?" Wen Zixi thought she had misheard. "I remember that you and the prince have always had a good relationship and are in love with each other. Why would you go back to your parents' home?"
He could go for an outing with Su Luo alone, but he was afraid that those gossipy people would spread something and affect Su Luo's reputation.
"?" This time, Su Luo was confused. She pondered and hummed in confusion, "I wonder why Master feels that the Prince and I have a good relationship? Doesn't Master know that the Prince ran away on his wedding night? Doesn't he know that the Prince ran away halfway through his return home?"
There was shock in Wen Zixi's eyes, and a mixture of emotions for a moment.
The Dali Temple Secretary thought they didn't hear him, so he said again: "Master, the Crown Prince's Consort has arrived."
The words "Crown Princess" brought Wen Zixi back to his senses. He suppressed his thoughts and asked, "I remember that your brothers often said in conversation that you had a great marriage. The Crown Prince treated you very well. Both the General's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion were very satisfied with this marriage, including you, so..." I thought you would be happy.
As if realizing that he had said too much, he clenched his fist slightly and said, "Sorry, I said too much."
"They are satisfied, so I thought I was satisfied too." There was a hint of darkness in Su Luo's eyes.
Wen Zixi clenched his fists a little harder. How could this happen... How could this be...
He clenched his fists for a long time, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.
Su Luo knew that the kind teacher was the person who cared about her most sincerely besides her mother.
There are too many jackals, tigers and leopards in this world. She has to take every step carefully and with great difficulty.
Perhaps because of this, Su Luo pulled the corners of her lips and pulled out a smile that didn't quite look like a smile: "I have been well protected by my father, brother and mother since I was young. I didn't understand love when I was young. My family arranged a marriage for me. When I met Zhou Yan, I thought he was a good person. Everyone was satisfied, so I subconsciously felt that I was satisfied."
Mo Jin, who had walked down from the carriage with Chen Song and happened to be near the window of their carriage, stopped and happened to hear these words, happened to hear Su Luo's words that seemed to carry endless regret. She said mournfully:
“I thought satisfaction meant liking it.”
"Later, like all other women, I married and obeyed my husband. When the general's mansion fell, I placed my hopes on my husband's family. But later I found out that my husband's family was not what I thought."
"Master..." She raised her head sadly, looking at Wen Zixi with broken eyes, "If my brothers were still alive, they would never let me suffer even the slightest injustice..."
