Chapter 59: Death of Father and Brother
There was a trace of regret in Wen Zixi's eyes, his voice was hoarse and he couldn't utter a word.
"I'm sorry." He looked at her deeply with melancholy.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he leaned forward a little, lowering his voice to a very low level, so low that no one except the two of them could hear it: "I have been investigating the deaths of your father and brother——"
The early summer wind carried the fragrance of wild grass on the street, lifted the curtains, and Su Luo suddenly saw Mo Jin looking into her eyes.
Mo Jin looked at Su Luo and the other person who were whispering to each other. For some reason, his eyes were filled with compassion and calmness, and even a hint of pity, but no one, not even himself, would notice his compassion and pity.
Wen Zixi naturally stopped talking. The court was now in turmoil and full of mixed people. After the emperor fell into a coma, there were silent struggles everywhere.
He hadn't found out who framed the General's Mansion yet, so during this period, he didn't even tell Su Luo that he was investigating the matter.
Perhaps it was because the sun was too scorching, perhaps it was because the hawkers' cries in Pingmingfang were too harsh, perhaps it was because the traffic was too bustling. Everything was so ordinary, and yet everything was so impermanent. Mo Jin must have seen something strange to see a hint of fragility deep in Su Luo's eyes.
Can such a woman also be fragile?
Nonsense, are you pretending?
Mo Jin sneered.
Is this her new method?
The carriage stopped for too long, and Wen Zixi and Su Luo got off the carriage one after another. They did not mention a word about the cause of their father and brother's death in front of Mo Jin.
Wen Zixi walked in front.
Su Luo was walking behind, but Mo Jin grabbed her hair and pulled her over, saying in a domineering manner: "What are you worried about? This king's backing is as solid as a rock."
"…" Su Luo looked at him for a moment, "It's inexplicable."
"Oh, it's not inexplicable that Master Wen comforts you."
Mo Jin chuckled, "This prince is really free."
Look, look at this person, if he is not incomprehensible, then what is incomprehensible?
Su Luo really felt that Mo Jin was unreasonable, and she really didn't want to pay attention to him, but he was the biggest supporter she continued to cultivate, and the biggest supporter of the child in her belly.
Mo Jin raised his head slightly, conceited and confident, looking down at her condescendingly: "Tonight at the Regent's Palace."
Su Luo ignored him and walked around him, but Mo Jin grabbed her wrist and asked, "Are you deaf?"
"Am I deaf?" Su Luo pointed at herself. "I'm not deaf. Does that mean I have to do whatever the prince does? The prince is the heaven and the earth. I know. I will do it. Don't worry." Su Luo showed a meek expression, but uttered the most rebellious words, "I will definitely not go to the Regent's Mansion tonight."
After hearing the latter part, Mo Jin's face suddenly darkened.
"Very good." Mo Jin clapped his hands and sneered.
"Yes. Your Highness, you are right. If you say it is okay, then it is okay." Su Luo had an obedient expression, but she could easily say the most rebellious words, "You are fine too!"
After saying this, he shouted, "Master, wait for me."
Wen Zixi was already busy handling the case at the front and had no time to pay attention to their conversation.
Wen Zixi provoked Yajun to smile: "You come."
Mo Jin's expression fell apart bit by bit.
Su Luo bowed to Mo Jin and said goodbye. When she turned around, she smiled happily.
Jiang Taigong fishes and those who are willing to take the bait will be caught. Su Luo believes that Mo Jin has already taken the bait.
The fact that I could cause his emotions to fluctuate repeatedly proved that I had made some progress in this matter.
A man will definitely not show any emotional fluctuations towards a woman he is not interested in.
It’s just that everything should be done step by step. If you take it slow, things will go smoothly. If you rush, things will get messy.
Su Luo quickened her pace, moved away from Mo Jin, and caught up with Wen Zixi.
The Dali Temple Secretary was reporting to Wen Zixi about the silver shop robbery. Looking through the list of arrested individuals, he suddenly said, "How interesting! Two people from the Jing'an Marquisate were in this silver shop. One is Concubine Dan, and the other is Li Jiaojiao."
"Amistad Dan was abducted and trafficked, and Li Jiaojiao seems to be smoking a banned cigarette. According to the law, she should be arrested and sentenced."
"Wait a minute." Zhou Yan walked over quickly from a distance and explained hurriedly, "Jiaojiao didn't smoke the banned cigarettes. She also accidentally walked into this place and was kidnapped."
Zhou Yan came here in a hurry just now, thinking that he could use his official position to deal with the Dali Temple officials, but he didn't expect that the Dali Temple would not buy it at all, so he couldn't take Li Jiaojiao away.
But then he thought, Jiaojiao had stumbled into this place by mistake and wouldn't be taken away, so he could just wait for Wen Zixi to go through the formalities and take her home.
Wen Zixi's handsome brows furrowed slightly as he stroked the list with his fingertips. His eyes, like a deep pool, stared at Zhou Yan. "The prince...seems to have a good relationship with my cousin?"
Zhou Yan felt that his question was a bit strange and asked, "What else?"
Wen Zixi raised the corner of his mouth in an ambiguous manner: "Li Jiaojiao is a non-smoker, you can't take her away."
Zhou Yan's eyes suddenly widened as he refuted, "Impossible! How could Jiaojiao smoke something that's forbidden? She's always been very obedient, gentle, and sensible. She would never touch these things."
Wen Zixi just stared at him without saying a word, her usually gentle eyes becoming indifferent, making people feel inexplicably frightened.
Zhou Yan pursed his lips, observed Wen Zixi's expression, and said respectfully, "Grandmaster?"
"Are you questioning me?" Wen Zixi's expression turned cold.
