"You are her son... Since you are the elder and the teacher..."
"You took advantage of your position as your daughter's teacher and her reliance and admiration for you to take advantage of her..."
As night fell, Pei Che held the newly acquired jade pendant, standing alone in the cold wind, his figure almost blending into the thick night.
Shen Luchu's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard, hitting his most secret delusion, and also tearing open his bright and sunny disguise.
"Pei Che, you are so disrespectful of human ethics. She calls you 'zi'. Don't you feel guilty when you see her?" '
'Are you going to fall into eternal damnation? Do you want to ruin all your decades of hard study? '
"Pei Che, you are so disappointing. You are older than her and more well-read. How could you have such evil thoughts?" '
Is he evil?
He just wants to keep the warmest color by his side. Is that wrong?
Pei Che had asked himself this question countless times in the past ten days.
He searched through thousands of books but could not find the answer, and no one told him the correct answer.
Perhaps he shouldn't have appeared in Luming Academy and shouldn't have accepted that inappropriate task.
If he hadn't shown up, would there have been a second person rushing into the fire to save him?
"grown ups."
Yu Liang had never seen Pei Che in such a depressed mood. Just now, when he looked at the Taifu's expression, he could clearly see that he was furious. He thought that the Taifu was going to attack Master Shen.
The Grand Tutor was not close to others, but he seldom got angry. The only person who could stir up his emotions was a girl from the Jiang family.
Outsiders all underestimated the importance of Miss Jiang in the heart of the Grand Tutor, not only Shen Luchu, but also the ignorant Concubine Lan and the Fifth Prince.
Pei Che faced the cold wind, closed his eyes, and opened them again, his eyes had returned to calm.
"Is everything done?"
Yu Liang replied, "It's settled."
…
Jiang Shiyuan walked towards Xie Ruoruo, who was sitting in the pavilion with her head down. She looked up when she heard footsteps.
When he saw it was Jiang Shiyuan, he lowered his head and left.
"I don't know what they are going to do this time, so you better be careful." There was no one around, so she said bluntly.
Jiang Shiyuan walked over and looked at Xie Ruoruo: "Otherwise, let's make trouble again?"
Xie Ruoruo looked up at her, her unruly eyebrows and mouth corners slowly drooping, and finally she couldn't help it, and rested her head in her arms, crying silently.
"She used me as a bargaining chip and a stepping stone. I accepted my fate and didn't expect a good ending. Why didn't she even leave me a way to survive?"
"I called her mother for more than ten years, and I obeyed her every word, but she still wanted to marry me to that beast from the Zhao family. She knew exactly what kind of person Zhao Changxing was, that he had a bunch of women in his backyard and even had children, but she still wanted me to marry him just because the Zhao family had some power..."
Jiang Shiyuan touched her head and sighed.
After separating from Xie Ruoruo, it was almost time for the palace banquet. Jiang Shiyuan didn't see Pei Che, so he went to the Changle Palace for the banquet first.
Things are different now. Her seat is very near the front, guests are arriving one after another, and the lights in the hall are brilliant.
Jiang Shiyuan hadn't been sitting there for long when he felt an uncomfortable gaze from him. When he looked up, he saw Shen Luchu sitting opposite him.
Jiang Shiyuan paused in surprise. She was shocked by Chen Luchu's appearance. After just a few days of not seeing him, he——
How did he get into this state?
His face was haggard and his eyes were cloudy, like an abandoned dog or a desperate ghost. Only the well-made brocade robe on his body managed to keep him looking decent.
Very much like… very much like the Shen Luchu who was fished out of the cold pond in the Shen family villa.
Jiang Shiyuan's thoughts drifted to the front.
Four winters ago, Shen Luchu picked up a wounded bird.
The bird had beautiful feathers and was particularly fond of Shen Luchu.
When he was writing, the bird landed on his shoulder and looked down at him.
When Shen Luchu raised his pen, the bird flapped its wings as if applauding him.
Chen Luchu liked it very much, so he kept it in the study, built a nest for it himself, and gave it a nice name, "Pearl".
As a result, before little Zhenzhu's wounds had healed, she was thrown to death by Princess Wen on the bluestone slab outside the study door.
For no reason, Princess Wen fell to her death.
Chen Luchu had no way to deal with Princess Wen. When he was a child, Marquis Wenyuan wanted to take over Chen Luchu, and Princess Wen stabbed herself with a knife, forcing Chen Luchu to make a choice.
Shen Lu was the first to be selected as her mother, and from then on, she was put in shackles by Princess Wen.
After Xiao Zhenzhu died, Shen Luchu ran out of Wenyuanhou Mansion in anger.
Unable to find anyone at Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion, Lord Shen went to General 깊's Mansion and asked her to keep an eye on Shen Lvchu.
Jiang Shiyuan rushed to the Shen family villa, which was covered with snow. Everyone said that Shen Luchu could not go alone, and she didn't know why she was trying so hard to rush over to take a look.
It took her a lot of effort to get Shen Luchu out of the cold pond.
Chen Luchu should thank her mother for not disciplining her according to the rules and virtues of a woman, allowing her to jump up and down and learn how to ride a horse, wield a whip, and swim.
Chen Luchu should also thank Pei Che, thank Pei Che for rushing into the fire and pulling him out ten days ago.
Otherwise, how could she have the courage to jump into the water alone?
Shen Luchu didn't understand.
Jiang Shiyuan laughed at herself, it didn't matter whether Chen Luchu understood or not, there were people around her who understood her.
Jiang Shiyuan turned around to look for Pei Che's figure. Just then, that tall figure stepped into the hall. Almost at the same moment, both of them looked towards each other.
Jiang Shiyuan's red lips curved slightly, her eyes sparkled, and Pei Che's steps became more determined.
When he came to his seat, there was a surprise hidden.
There was half a peeled tangerine on the porcelain plate on the table.
There was a note on the porcelain plate which read:
[Share half with the tutor who doesn't like sweet food.] 】
A smile instantly climbed onto Pei Che's lips. He suddenly remembered that he had caught a cold, and she insisted on staying with him and watching him take medicine.
Watch him drink it all in one gulp, without frowning, his head tilted back with admiration in his eyes.
In the midst of admiration, there was a lot of doubt: "Is sixteen some unacceptable age? You can't complain when taking medicine, and you have to study even when you are sick. Son, don't you find it boring to be an adult so early?"
Over the past twenty-six years, among the countless people, some envied his talent, some admired his power, but only one person cared whether he was boring as an adult.
Very boring.
Because of his good qualifications, he has always been placed with high hopes. He cultivates his character, keeps a clear mind and has few desires, and then becomes a child of destiny in the eyes of everyone.
It's boring, repeating the same thing over and over again.
Pei Che picked up a slice of orange and put it in the middle——
Instantly, a strong sour taste filled the entire cavity and rushed straight to the center of the eyebrows.
Pei Che raised his eyes, only to see a pair of starry eyes opposite him, staring at him with her hands covering her lips and laughing.
Its beauty is brilliant and its appearance is sparkling.
Even a saint could not resist it, let alone a common man like him.
He is not wrong.
The oranges were sour but tasty. Pei Che lowered his head and ate the remaining ones one by one. He then folded the note neatly and put it in his clothes.
Chen Luchu took in the interaction between the two. He watched Jiang Shiyuan ignore him, watched Jiang Shiyuan always chasing Pei Che's sight, watched them smile at each other, and used their eyes to tell the secret that only the two of them understood.
The pain in Shen Luchu's heart was far greater than the one he had stabbed himself with, and he urgently needed something to numb himself.
He picked up the wine glass on the table, and Zhou Jingshen, who was sitting at the same table, was so scared that he said, "My enemy, can you be quiet? Can you drink alcohol with your broken body?"
Shen Luchu ignored him and insisted on drinking, but the glass he raised to his lips was suddenly snatched away.
Chen Luchu and Zhou Jingshen all looked up, and Zhou Jingshen asked in surprise: "Young General Jiang?"
Jiang Xingzhuo snatched the wine glass from Chen Luchu, raised his head and drank it all, then lowered his head and said to Zhou Jingshen: "You get out of the way, I'll sit here."
Zhou Jingshen looked confused.
"Master Pei asked me to come."
Jiang Xingzhuo lowered his eyes and glanced at Chen Luchu: "Master Pei asked me to watch him, so that he won't lose control of his mouth and talk nonsense to cause trouble for Jiang Shiyuan."
Zhou Jingshen was shocked: Sure enough, the Grand Tutor is the Grand Tutor!
The Grand Tutor really saved him from a dire situation!
Zhou Jingshen hurriedly stood up and moved to the back.
Jiang Xingzhuo lifted his skirt and sat down.
Shen Luchu lowered his head and murmured, "I won't hurt her, I like her."
He then realized that he liked her very much.
Jiang Xingzhuo sneered: "Is your love something valuable?"
Zhou Jingshen, who was eavesdropping from behind with his ears perked up, felt his temples throbbing.
Who is this Jiang Xingzhuo? Such a poisonous mouth.
