Luo Yang wandered around the courtyard for a while, but there was no movement from Ji Yunshu's room. He felt uneasy for a long time, but he still strode over and knocked on the door, asking in a low voice, "Miss … Ji, are you alright?"
There was no movement from inside the room.
"That … I …" He suddenly felt his mouth go dry. Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and he didn't know what to say next. A pair of guilty eyes peeked through the crack in the door, his heart thumping wildly.
He stood at the door for a while, seeking forgiveness, but to no avail. He couldn't just barge in, but there was no other way. The door wasn't open, and he couldn't explain himself. He really couldn't explain himself!
Just as he turned to leave, the door opened.
Ji Yunshu was already neatly dressed, and her expression was cold. She looked at Luo Yang with eyes full of venom.
Luo Yang trembled uncontrollably.
"Miss Ji, I didn't do it on purpose, I just …"
"Just what?"
"Just …" Luo Yang opened his mouth, and his cheeks twitched a few times before he said, "I got a rabbit, and wanted to give it to you."
Ji Yunshu looked behind him, "Rabbit? Where did the rabbit come from?"
"It just ran away!"
"You don't need to find excuses."
"I'm not looking for excuses. Am I the kind of person who does?" Luo Yang felt extremely innocent.
But now, the rabbit was nowhere to be found.
Ji Yunshu's expression darkened, and she warned him, "Listen, you can't tell anyone about what happened today. If a third person finds out, I'll feed you poison and make you mute!" Luo Yang forced a smile, and he raised his hand, swearing, "I promise I won't tell anyone. I won't tell anyone, not even Little Eight. I'll keep it a secret. I'll pretend … I didn't see anything. Besides, I didn't see anything.
I saw your back … "He immediately covered his mouth, realizing that he had said the wrong thing.
Ji Yunshu's grip on the door frame tightened, so much so that her fingertips turned white. She glared at him coldly. If she had a bottle of poison in her hand, she would have poured it all into Luo Yang's mouth without mercy.
"No … I didn't mean it that way. I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything!"
Ji Yunshu immediately slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
Luo Yang was given the cold shoulder. His nose nearly bumped into the door and choked on the dust.
At this moment, how could only be described as awkward?
Not only did he want to find a hole to hide in, but he also wanted to slap himself to death.
When Ji Yunshu returned to her room, she saw the silhouette standing outside the door for a long time before leaving. Although the anger in her heart was burning, fortunately, she wasn't completely seen. Otherwise, wouldn't she want to hang herself?
Just as she was about to rest, she bumped into something.
Soft and fluffy.
He looked down and saw a snow-white rabbit.
The rabbit rubbed itself against her feet, looking extremely adorable.
She crouched down and picked him up. She looked out the door and saw that Luo Yang had already left.
"There's really a rabbit?"
The rabbit's fur was snow-white and very beautiful.
The fire in her heart seemed to have dissipated at this moment …
Wen Mansion.
The officials in the imperial court had already placed King Jing An's body in the Liang Cheng Temple in the city. After that, the members of the Wen family returned to their residences.
The father and son gathered in the main hall for a discussion.
"Father, we encountered something on the way back, so we were delayed. I didn't expect it to be so serious this time." Wen Yu said.
Old General Wen, Wen Lianggong, sat upright and still on the main seat with a dignified expression. When he heard his son's words, he frowned and asked, "What happened? Tell me everything clearly." Wen Yu said, "A few months ago, when we left the Yan Capital, I felt that there were people following us, but I couldn't find them. Because we had to rush to the Southern Fortress to pick up King Jing An, we didn't dare to delay. Who would have thought that just as we entered the Southern Fortress, we would encounter a group of black-clothed men chasing after us.
A group of black-clothed men chased after us. Along the way, we took a detour for a long time. I almost couldn't make it back. Fortunately, someone helped us and we escaped! "
"Black-Clothed men? Do you know who they are? "
"I'm not sure. Although I fought with them, I couldn't tell. Later on, we were ambushed by them on the way back. Fortunately, it was more daunting than dangerous."
Old General Wen pondered for a moment, then asked, "What happened to Yi Weian? Why did he return to the Yan Capital with you? " Wen Che continued, "Because Ah Yu was delayed, Yi Weian took the initiative to transport King Jing 'an's body from Lingtang Commandery over. Otherwise, if he were to go back and forth again, it would probably be another month of delay. That's why I put it this way.
Yi Weian did us a great favor, but his heart isn't here. He's just using this matter to take credit and prepare for his stay in the Yan Capital. "
"Mm, you've seen it more clearly." Old General Wen said, "This Yi Weian is a talent and a general. If he wants to stay, let him stay. But you have to be careful and keep this person in your hands."
"Don't worry, Father. I understand."
Wen Yu said, "Father, from what I see, the person who attacked me this time is most likely from the Wen family …" Before he could finish his sentence, Old General Wen raised his hand and slapped the armrest of his chair. He shouted angrily, "Don't spout nonsense without any evidence. Everyone in Yan Jing knows about the relationship between the Wen and Su families. If your words get out …"
If your words get out, I'm afraid you'll become a laughing stock. When the time comes, people will complain to the Emperor. It will be troublesome. "
Wen Yu lowered his gaze. He had always been obedient in front of his father and was even a little respectful. When he heard these words, he immediately said, "Yes, I won't speak nonsense again." Seeing this, Wen Che, who had always been calm, hurriedly said, "Father, don't blame Ah Yu. Although there is no evidence, in all of Qujiang, the Su family has the deepest grudge with the Wen family. This time, Ah Yu brought people to the Southern Fortress, and it was the Su family.
This is the best opportunity for the Su family to make a move. I also have this thought in my heart, but without any evidence, it's hard to come to a conclusion. "
The enmity between the Wen and Su families wasn't something that happened overnight. The enmity formed ten years ago caused the two families, who were once on good terms, to never interact with each other. Whether it was in court or military affairs, they were always at loggerheads. Although Su Ziluo was the only one left in the Su family, and he was a wheelchair-bound cripple, he was knowledgeable and had a unique perspective on military affairs. For many years, he helped Qujiang win countless battles and captured many cities. At a young age, his military achievements were so illustrious that he was comparable to an old general like Old General Wen. Therefore, this kind of person was highly valued by the Emperor of Qujiang. Many civil and military officials also respected him. In public, they would call him General Su, but in private, they would call him Teacher Su.
