Chapter 68: My Father Did Not Be a Treasoner
"I've been too busy these days and haven't had time to eat properly." Su Luo suppressed her nausea and stood against the wall for a long time before she recovered.
Yun Ran quickly took out a plum from the small brocade bag in her sleeve and handed it to Su Luo: "Have some of this first..."
Su Luo took the plum and ate it. The sour and sweet taste melted between her lips and teeth, slightly offsetting the chill.
She subconsciously stroked her belly again and sighed softly. It was so difficult to conceive a little life.
Unfortunately, his father did not believe in his existence.
Su Luo was dissatisfied, and there was a hint of resentment in her pure eyes. She looked at Mo Jin several times.
For some reason, Mo Jin felt a little guilty when she looked at him.
Wen Changming glanced at Mo Jin with a seasoned look.
Mo Jin noticed that Wen Changming was observing him, and immediately turned his gaze away calmly, looking elsewhere.
Su Luo just felt that Mo Jin was too heartless. Even the teacher cared about her, but his eyes were too indifferent.
It is too difficult to impress a man like this. Fortunately, she has never fallen in love with Mo Jin from beginning to end.
Don't be sincere in a relationship of intrigue and deception, and don't be sincere in a relationship of exploitation.
She wants to get Mo Jin's true heart, and she doesn't want to have any true heart towards Mo Jin in this life.
The sincerity of those in power changes rapidly.
What she did was to protect herself.
Wen Changming followed Mo Jin's gaze and looked at the girl in the corridor. He asked in a low voice, "Who is this person?"
After asking, the servant replied, "The Crown Prince's Consort of the Marquis of Jing'an."
The sky suddenly changed, and in the twilight, raindrops as big as beans fell down one after another.
For a moment, Wen Changming didn't notice it was raining. He looked at Su Luo for a long time before realizing what she meant: "Su Zhan's daughter?"
The servant asked again, and then nodded: "...Exactly."
"A thunderstorm is coming. Why don't you go to the porch to take shelter from the rain first? I will go to the carriage to get an umbrella." asked the servant.
Wen Changming seemed not to hear. He got caught in a few drops of rain. Just as the rain was about to soak his hair, the servant hurriedly fetched an umbrella: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister?"
Wen Changming finally came back to his senses and walked to the corridor with a frown on his face.
Seeing Wen Changming approaching, Su Luo bowed. He had been staring at her, not out of curiosity, but more of... a sense of wariness and inquiry? And an inexplicable indifference?
She couldn't describe that look correctly, but it was not kind.
Why?
What grudge did he have with the Su family? Or... did he remember something when he saw her?
Su Luo didn't remember any deeper contact between her father and Prime Minister Wen.
Wen Changming stood in front of her: "I remember your father. I used to work with him."
When Su Luo mentioned her father, her eyes suddenly brightened: "Although I have never heard my father mention you, you were his former colleague and my elder."
Now that the General's Mansion is in turmoil, it is natural to try to curry favor with these high-ranking officials.
For emergency use.
Unexpectedly, Wen Changming looked at Su Luo for a long time with his deep and experienced eyes, then revealed a stern and strange smile: "I have worked with your father for twenty years, and I never thought he would collude with the enemy and betray his country. I don't know what benefits the enemy country promised him..."
The elegant smile on Su Luo's face froze inch by inch, and her hands holding the silk clenched tightly, causing the silk to wrinkle.
It was like a huge piece of hot iron hitting her heart, and Su Luo's heart instantly boiled with pain.
She gritted her teeth and endured it.
Wen Changming then continued, "Your father was a traitor and a criminal of the Qingding Nation. Such a man deserved to have his entire family executed. It was only because I advised His Majesty that the people of our clan were innocent that you and your mother were spared from death, preserving the Su family today."
Su Luo's heart felt as if it was burned to a bloody mess, and she had no idea what this old fox was trying to say.
She clenched her fists and said, "My father would never commit treason. I believe he wouldn't!"
"You say no, but the facts are before us." Wen Changming shook his head and sighed sarcastically, "Women, you don't understand."
"I don't understand. Do adults understand? Do adults know anything?" Su Luo clenched her fists so tightly that veins were bulging.
"I do know." Wen Changming nodded.
"Sir, could you please explain it in detail?" There was an unconcealable anger in Su Luo's eyes.
