Chapter 84: The Master said, Fourth Brother is not dead
Li Jiaojiao tightly gripped the large bowl of chicken soup, her knuckles turning white, and she gritted her teeth and pulled away.
She was so angry that she couldn't be more angry.
At some point, she and Zhou Yan had gone their separate ways and gradually drifted apart.
Zhou Yan's vows to her have also turned into nothing.
Even her loving aunt and uncle gradually changed beyond recognition.
She was so hateful, hating herself for living under someone else's roof, hating Su Luo for taking away her love, and hating the Marquis's Mansion for betraying her.
She even had a twisted thought, why the family property of the Hou Mansion and the Su Mansion were not hers?
…
now.
Kuangqi Tower.
Su Luo thought of the secret: "I would like to invite you to listen to a piece of music together. Do you have time to do me a favor?"
Wen Zixi nodded.
Yang Zhou and his wife wanted to leave, but they happened to meet Mo Jin, so they asked Mo Jin to move aside and chat with him for a few words.
Su Luo pushed open the door to the private room in the theater, sat down, and bowed to pour tea for Wen Zixi.
Once the door is closed, the noise outside is blocked out.
The atmosphere gradually became quiet. Su Luo knelt on the carpet, touched her knees with her hands hanging down, and when she looked up, she happened to meet Wen Zixi's eyes.
Su Luo grabbed her sleeve and subconsciously looked away.
But then Wen Zixi said, "I told Xiaoqi that if there were any difficulties at home, you could come to the Taifu Mansion. I don't trust you, so I didn't even send someone to tell you about your mother's suicide?"
Her six brothers often called her Xiaoqi.
Su Luo was a little dazed when she heard this name suddenly.
Wen Zixi sighed imperceptibly in disappointment.
Su Luo shook her head blankly: "No."
"On the contrary, the Prince Regent went to the Su Mansion again." Wen Zixi looked at her calmly and pointed out, "The Prince Regent and Xiao Qi know each other?"
Su Luo was a little nervous at the moment, and tried her best to speak normally: "Before we got married, we were old friends."
"Xiao Qi, the Regent is not a good person."
"Actually, he..." Su Luo pondered, "He's not very good, but he's not that..."
Mo Jin, who had just finished discussing matters with Yang Zhou, paused when he heard this, just as he was about to knock on the door.
Is he not good?
Is he still not well?
Mo Jin's face instantly turned extremely cold and he turned and left.
"Your Highness! Are you looking for the Grand Tutor?" Chen Song interrupted very tactfully, trying to stop Su Luo from saying anything outrageous through the door.
In fact, Su Luo’s next sentence was: But it’s not that bad, overall it’s okay.
Being interrupted like this, Su Luo also hurriedly changed the subject: "Master, the sky is very blue, right? Like a sapphire, hehe."
Mo Jin clicked his tongue.
He was seriously injured, and she was still chatting?
It has never been possible to rely on someone for support.
Are you hooking up? Are you hooking up? Just going to the theatre and drinking tea with other men?
Mo Jin's back was hurting, he really shouldn't have come to Kuangqi Tower.
"Your Highness, please wait a minute. Miss Su didn't mean what she said. Why bother with her?" Chen Song said hurriedly, "Since ancient times, only villains and women are difficult to raise."
Mo Jin looked at Chen Song coldly: "Why would I bother with a plaything? She is not worthy of my concern."
Chen Song was stunned and said quickly: "Yes, yes, she is just a plaything. She can't cause any emotional fluctuations in you at all. She is nothing but a married woman. Just kick her out after playing with her!"
Mo Jin suddenly stopped and said, "Get lost."
Chen Song let out a puzzled cry, then rolled away swiftly.
Su Luo had originally planned to change places with Wen Zixi to discuss the matter of her father and brother. In order to avoid being seen, they walked separately and happened to be behind Mo Jin.
She heard Mo Jin's words clearly.
The word "plaything" seemed to have pierced her ears and made them bleed!
She snorted coldly. Mo Jin treated her as a plaything?
So, to her, Mo Jin wasn't even a plaything! He was just a useful backer who would be discarded after use.
When the day comes for us to part ways, Su Luo won't even shed a tear! Run as fast as you can!
"Miss Su?" Chen Song turned around to escape and ran into Su Luo.
"Hello, Guard Chen. It's a coincidence that I've encountered the toy in your mouth again." Su Luo grinned, revealing a row of white teeth in her cold eyes.
Chen Song pretended to slap himself in the face and smiled awkwardly.
Mo Jin stood with his hands behind his back and sneered at Su Luo as well.
"Your Highness, please make way." Su Luo made a gesture to make way, looking at the imposing Mo Jin who almost took up half of the stairs.
"I have an appointment with Master Wen to enjoy the flowers together. If you block me any longer, it will be too late."
Mo Jin made a "crackling" sound and crushed the jade ring in his palm into powder, scattering it bit by bit in the wind: "Get out of here!"
"Okay." Su Luo bowed and left happily, "I'll leave now."
Her face was full of joy, while Mo Jin's expression became increasingly gloomy.
"I told her to get lost, and she's still happy?"
Chen Song stared at Su Luo who quickly got into the carriage and said with some hesitation, "Maybe?"
"Why are you happy?" Mo Jin asked gritting his teeth.
Chen Song had never been in contact with women, so how could he know? Hesitantly replied, "Anyway...you told Miss Su to get out, and she was quite happy. Maybe she was going to see Master Wen?"
"Get out of here too!" Mo Jin kicked him.
"???" Chen Song, who had been kicked, covered his foot and hopped away with a sad face. "Anyway, you told me to get out, and I'm really unhappy."
"Get as far away as you can!"
…
Feiyu Mountain.
The cleared Zuihua Lake is surrounded by flowers on all sides, and the crystal clear water reflects countless colors.
A small boat was drifting aimlessly, with cakes and tea on the low table.
There was no one by the lake except Wen Zixi, the guard.
Su Luo knelt and drank tea.
Wen Zixi, who was sitting opposite him, brushed the strings of the zither on the low table with her bare hands. The clear and melodious music flowed out like a waterfall, gentle and beautiful.
He lowered his head and closed his eyes. When he played the piano, the sunlight around him was soft, and even his blue robe was shining, as if he was separated from the mortal world.
Because he is elegant and upright, like a god, he also makes the Zuihua Lake look like a fairyland.
Su Luo was stunned for a moment, then ducked her head and said, "Master, you wanted to tell me about the death of my father and brother before. Could you please elaborate on it this time?"
Wen Zixi's fingertips danced, the piano music continued, and he pursed his lips and asked, "Xiao Qi, do you really think your father is a traitor?"
"Never!" Su Luo clenched her teacup tightly, her tone suddenly becoming a little excited. "My father can't possibly be a traitor!"
"But they don't believe my father." Su Luo's heart was bleeding. "They stripped my father of his title of Great General, and the censor wrote in the history books that my father collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. He sold the defense map in the Battle of Danyang, resulting in the tragic deaths of 30,000 soldiers in Chimo City."
"If my father were still alive and knew the historian wrote about him in this way, he would probably be furious to death."
"They said my father sold the defense map, and that my brothers were not clean either. Like father, like son. They said that our Su family is full of bastards."
Seeing Wen Zixi playing the piano silently, Su Luo murmured with red eyes: "Master, do you also think my father is a traitor?"
There was a sound of "clang" and Wen Zixi pressed his hands on the strings: "I never feel it."
In an instant, Su Luo burst into tears of grievance: "Master..."
"Hmm?" Wen Zixi's Adam's apple rolled slightly. He paused in his movement to wipe her tears and restrained himself from handing her the white silk.
"I've also been investigating the deaths of my father and brother these past few months, but unfortunately I'm trapped in the Marquis' Mansion and can't get away. I wonder what the Master has found out?"
"Your fourth brother...may still be alive."
Su Luo's anxious, dark eyes suddenly lit up, and she subconsciously rushed over to grab Wen Zixi's hand: "Really? How do you know? How did you know?"
