Chapter 355: Everything You Want Is Illusory
evening.
The temperature dropped sharply.
A light snow fell from the sky.
Zhou Mu knelt at the door of the Shen family for two hours, asking for forgiveness.
Finally broke off the engagement with Miss Shen.
He even gave half of the betrothal gift to Miss Shen as compensation.
Although he was passive in this engagement from beginning to end, he still felt that he owed the Shen family.
So no matter how the Shen family beat and scolded him, he had no complaints.
After leaving Shen's house, Weekend looked pale and staggered as he walked.
But in his heart he was cheering, he was free.
But he still had to go to the Jiang family.
He wanted to tell Miss Zijin the good news as soon as possible.
He wanted to tell Miss Zijin that he had broken off the engagement.
He also wanted to tell Miss Zijin about his future plans. He will take part in the Autumn Examination next year, and then the Spring Examination three years later.
The teachers all said that he was very talented at a young age, and if he could calm down and concentrate on studying, he would definitely become a successful person.
He is very confident.
So he wanted to tell Miss Zijin.
Three years, just wait another three years.
Three years later, Miss Zijin had reached the age of marriage and had completed her mourning period.
Three years later he will probably be in high school.
At that time, I will definitely marry Miss Zijin in a sedan chair carried by eight people.
He knocked on the back door of Jiang's house.
Miss Zijin finally saw him, but when she took off her hat, he was startled and stood there in a daze.
The woman in front of him was still Miss Zijin, but her beautiful black hair was gone.
But if you look closely, even without hair, she is still stunning, with bright eyes and white teeth, and her facial features seem even more refined.
It has a unique charm.
But our hair and body are given by our parents and should not be damaged at will. How could this beautiful hair suddenly disappear?
Zhou Mu couldn't help but ask, "Miss Zijin, why are your hair gone?"
Jiang Zijin also showed his bald head frankly without any shyness.
For her, appearance is just the icing on the cake.
Zhou Muruo kept his distance from her because of her appearance, and she had nothing to say.
But if Zhou Mu didn't care about her appearance and was still obsessed with her, then she might stay with him for three years.
Now the news of the two of them boating on the lake has spread like wildfire.
It seemed that if she didn't marry Zhou Mu, she would be criticized and rejected by the world.
But fortunately, there are still three years left.
After calculation, King Chen should be back in a year or two, if he still admires me as much as he did in his previous life.
There is still hope for her marriage.
However, there is still no news about the most crucial witness, Doctor Feng, as if this person is really dead.
But Jiang Zijin knew that this person was still alive, hiding in a corner of the aristocratic family, and what she had in her hand could kill King Chen.
So even if she couldn't find Doctor Feng, she had to tell King Chen that Doctor Feng was still alive.
Given King Chen's cautious nature, he would be on guard whether he believed it or not.
It would not be like what happened in the previous life, where the throne that was about to be obtained was snatched away by King Jing.
Jiang Zijin looked at the young man in front of him with pale lips and felt a little sorry for him.
But she still put on an act, "I dozed off the night before yesterday and accidentally knocked over a candlestick, burning my hair. So I just cut it off and started growing it again. Brother Mu won't think I'm ugly, right?"
Of course, she couldn't say that a bad guy sneaked into her bedroom in the middle of the night and cut her hair without her noticing.
Although she has a bad reputation nowadays.
But at least in Zhou Mu's heart, it is still pure and innocent.
After she finished speaking, Zhou Mu's eyes were filled with heartache. He took her hand to check and asked her if she was hurt.
There wasn't a trace of disdain or contempt in his eyes.
Zhou Mu comforted her, "No, absolutely not. The hair will grow out after some time. No matter what you become, sister Zijin, you will always be the most beautiful woman in my heart."
As they were talking, they heard the maid's voice calling Jiang Zijin from behind, saying that her father was asking her to go to the front hall.
She quickly stuffed her hot water bottle into Zhou Mu's hands and said, "Brother Mu, please go back quickly. It's cold outside. I have to go."
Zhou Mu swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and didn't say them out loud in the end.
He is a man who is both pedantic and naive. He will persist in doing what he believes in even if it goes against the will of the world.
He immediately recognized that the person in front of him was the perfect wife in his mind, and ran towards her without hesitation.
Sometimes even Jiang Zijin was moved.
But if she thought about it from another angle, she would think Zhou Mu was stupid. For the sake of a woman, he put his family in an unjust situation, but he couldn't even see the person clearly.
If she had a son like this, she would be furious.
Perhaps only when facing Zhou Mu did Jiang Zijin feel that he was really bad.
You can let go of everything you had in your previous life.
Now, she is just a helpless little concubine. She must fight for herself and cannot let her father use her as a pawn.
She was unwilling to accept it.
Anyway, we have all died once, so what is there to be afraid of?
I would rather die than give it a try.
Even if you lose, it's just another death.
But if you sow seeds, there will definitely be consequences.
Someone came from the palace to convey the emperor's oral instructions.
Let her go to San Sheng Temple outside the city to become a nun and stay with the ancient Buddha forever.
After hearing this, Jiang Zijin felt like he was struck by lightning and had something stuck in his throat.
"Why, why does the emperor treat me like this? I am just a little girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage. What did I do wrong that the emperor wants to destroy me like this?"
She stood there in the snow, feeling so helpless.
Zhou Mu watched from afar, feeling as if someone was strangling him and making it hard for him to breathe.
Yeah, what did he do wrong?
He just wanted to marry the woman he loved, so why did they send her away?
The Shen family clearly accepted his apology, so why did they treat Miss Zijin like this?
He couldn't figure it out.
Zhou Mu ran out and caught up with Eunuch Yu who was announcing the decree. "Eunuch, is it that Concubine Shu slandered us in front of the Emperor? It was my fault that I broke off the engagement with the Shen family. Why would she embarrass a little girl?"
"How dare you! Is that what you should say?" Eunuch Yu scolded.
But seeing Zhou Mu's face as pale as paper, he was also shocked and was hesitating whether to read out his will on the spot, fearing that he could not bear it.
Judging from its appearance, it seems that it has been staying in the snow for too long.
After thinking about it, I decided that I had to say it sooner or later.
He pushed Zhou Mu's hand away and said expressionlessly, "Mr. Zhou, the Emperor has also issued an order to you... The Emperor has forbidden you from taking the imperial examinations for three years."
The air suddenly became stagnant.
All I could hear was the sound of the wind around me, the distant hawking and the sounds of children playing.
Zhou Mu stood there blankly, not blinking.
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground with a thud.
Eunuch Yu widened his eyes.
Wouldn't he scare people to death just by announcing an edict?
She's just a woman, and a troublemaker at that, so why would he do this?
The scientific examination would only require one more year, so was it really necessary to scare him like this?
"Someone, quickly send Master Zhou to the Imperial Medical Bureau..."
