Chapter 112: Not Innocent
He thought that he might gradually understand the meaning of the phrase "lust makes one blind."
"Your wife asked me to be a private school teacher to teach and educate people." Shu Yuan spoke very quickly, as if he was afraid of being interrupted.
Xie Yan lowered her eyes, frowning at the lingering feelings that had just left her eyebrows but were still in her heart. When she raised her eyes again, she was clear-headed. "I think Ming Chao's proposal is very good."
"You can't lift anything with your hands or carry anything on your shoulders. Teaching is your only skill. It's time to make the most of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses."
"Children in Changxi Village still need to go to private schools in Lianhua Town to learn to read and write. The inconveniences are obvious, and many families with limited financial resources have given up the idea of sending their children to school."
"As far as I know, the best private school teacher in Lianhua Town is an old man who teaches children and pays him one tael of silver per month."
"A poor family can only earn a little over ten taels of silver at most even if they work hard all year round without eating, drinking or sleeping. Even if they are determined to study, they can only take a back seat and become Xiu's disciple."
"When you were seventeen, you passed the provincial examination and became a top scorer, and you have achieved the honor of being a judge."
"Although I have never participated in the imperial examination, under normal circumstances, the top scorer will surely be able to pass the imperial examination."
"As a seventeen-year-old champion, why can't I teach and educate people?"
"Looking at the entire Changhe County, only Lu Yao can be compared with you back then."
"So, don't be modest. Maybe a hundred years from now, the words Xie and Sui will be listed among the great scholars in history."
"Perhaps some future generations will be able to find clues in the cracks of history that Xie Sui was Shu Yuan, and clear Shu Yuan's name."
"Today, scholars and eunuchs are indeed incompatible, but what about thousands of years from now?"
"As we travel through time, we can still discard our prejudices and identities and objectively and impartially evaluate whether a person lives up to his or her duty."
“The age of 30 is a great time to start a career.”
Shu Yuan was stunned, his fingers turned white from pinching, he felt that every word and sentence was like a huge rock hitting his heart, causing huge waves.
Can the two words "Shuyuan" be clean and innocent?
If he were to ask himself, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat when Lu Mingchao proposed it.
He knew that he was moved.
However, due to various reasons, we are unable to move forward.
He needs someone to push him again, even if it's just a gentle push, so that he can muster up the courage to take one step, two steps, until he runs out of the shackles of the past and runs towards his new second half of life.
"Can I?"
"I can do that."
Shu Yuan whispered softly, asking and answering questions to himself.
"So, do it or not!"
"Do!"
Lu Mingchao's brows relaxed. "Ayan and I can help you solve the problem of the private school, but whether you can attract students and keep them depends on your ability."
"Also, you will be a teacher in the future, so you still need to pay attention to your appearance. You must be proficient in changing your appearance. You can't have big and small eyes, thick and thin eyebrows every day, and do it in a different way every time."
Shu Yuan nodded heavily, and then bowed solemnly to Lu Mingchao and Xie Yan, saying, "I will definitely live up to your expectations."
"Then I'm going to practice!"
Xie Yan looked at Shu Yuan's light and cheerful back, and glanced to the side. "Tomorrow, Shu Yuan will be alive."
Really alive.
Behind the gray mist is the brilliant and dazzling sunshine.
Shu Yuan allowed this light to shine upon him, and allowed himself to be reborn under the illumination of this light.
"He has so much talent, it would be a shame to waste it." Lu Mingchao said softly.
Those words are enough to prove that Shu Yuan would be a good teacher.
"By the way, Ah Yan, Shu Yuan said it was your idea to put a sack on someone and beat him up."
Lu Mingchao curled the corners of his lips with a playful expression.
Xie Yan's pupils shrank. "Shu Yuan!"
What a life!
Being half dead is good.
"Ming Dynasty, Master Cheng really went too far."
"If he had just spoken objectively about the matter, I wouldn't have been so angry."
Young Master Sun is in jail because of what he has done. However, Master Cheng has accused you of not being a good wife without any reason, and he has repeatedly used the teachings of saints as evidence. How is this different from defending Young Master Sun?
"Could it be that the victim in the Saint's Teachings is guilty?"
"I don't know what to say!"
"Such people have failed miserably in both life and learning."
Lu Mingchao patted Xie Yan's hand and said, "At first glance, I am a little angry at your impulsive behavior, but I never blame you for your anger, and I don't blame you for protecting me."
"I just want to say that it's easy to make mistakes when you're impulsive. You can be more covert next time."
Master Cheng openly insulted her and accused her of being unfaithful to her husband. Could she really respond with a smile and praise Master Cheng for being so knowledgeable?
Those who love others will always be loved by others; those who respect others will always be respected by others.
In other words, those who humiliate others will always be humiliated.
This is the most humane way of reciprocity.
"Why did you suddenly want to go into the city?" Lu Mingchao changed the subject and asked suspiciously.
Xie Yanhui held Lu Mingchao's hand and said, "I know you are worried about Brother Sanshi's marriage, so I told everyone to pay more attention."
"The son of the official who proposed marriage to Miss Cheng is a close friend of Sun Zhiye. The official's son asked to marry Miss Cheng because Sun Zhiye asked him to do so."
"I received word early this morning that the son of the official wanted to break off the engagement. The letter was vague, so I went there in person."
"What's going on?" Lu Mingchao even forgot to pull his hand out.
Xie Yan continued, "The son of the official was drunk and talking nonsense in Fuxiang Tower last night. He said that Miss Cheng had lost her chastity and was a prostitute, and that the one who had an affair with Miss Cheng was Brother Sanshi."
"I'm afraid this is directed at you."
"Even if I can't hurt you for the time being, I must first destroy the Lu family and make them infamous."
"This is Sun Zhiye's revenge."
Lu Mingchao frowned and asked, "Why did Sun Zhiye suddenly become so fierce?"
"Is there someone behind me?"
"Lu Minghui?"
"Lu Miao?"
Xie Yan and Lu Mingchao took the same path by coincidence.
"No surprises, probably."
"Brother is definitely not the kind of person who disregards rules and is impatient. Not to mention, brother cherishes Cheng Zhi very much." Lu Mingchao said without hesitation.
Xie Yan frowned and pursed his lips. "According to the son of the official, it was because Master Cheng flatly rejected Brother Sanshi's proposal of marriage. Brother Sanshi was resentful, so he tricked Miss Cheng into giving herself to him, trying to make it a done deal and force Master Cheng to give in."
"They are determined to pin the crime of kidnapping on Big Brother Sanshi."
Lu Mingchao was stunned. “But this lie is easily exposed.”
"What if Miss Cheng is really not innocent?" Xie Yan said in a deep voice.
Lu Mingchao opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
"How is that possible?"
In the eyes of her mother and elder brother, Cheng Zhi was gentle, polite, chaste, and virtuous. She was deeply influenced by the old-fashioned and serious Master Cheng. Even when it came to marriage, she was still shy and timid. It is hard to imagine that she would lose her chastity before marriage.
"But even if she is not innocent, it doesn't mean that Big Brother seduced her."
It's really tricky to have this shit pot pinned on my head.
"This news has not spread yet. You and I still have time to think about how to deal with it." Xie Yan said in a calm and soothing tone.
Lu Mingchao shook his head. "I'm afraid that my elder brother will admit this for Cheng Zhi."
