Chapter 238 Preparing to Return to the Capital
Chapter 238 Preparing to Return to the Capital
She still didn't take him back.
Mo Jingchun refused to reveal the person behind the scenes, and Lou Xiao had no definite evidence linking him to the person.
The two men had their own plans in mind. Mo Jingchun's stubborn attitude meant that even if Xiao Zhengdu arrested him and interrogated him, nothing would be achieved.
Besides, can we really control him?
Mo Jingchun looked back at Lou Xiao every few steps, while she kept staring at his back as he walked farther and farther away on the path between the rice fields.
Until he stopped and waved to her, just like he did that day in Yunsu City after giving her wild flowers and before driving away from Yunsu City.
It was like saying goodbye.
Even if she doesn't respond, I'm still enthusiastic.
She watched him disappear completely, and she was left alone in the vast rice field.
Looking back at the old site of the Wang family, it seemed as if there was someone behind the scenes who connected everything, and they had not yet touched the other person's shadow.
Maybe I should find some time to go to Nanzi for a visit.
When he returned to Yunsu City, he saw Xiao Zhengdu, who was being treated like a star, enjoying his life.
He has a bad reputation among the literati in the capital, but what does that have to do with Yunsu City?
There are many talented people in Yunsu City. If you want to get promoted, you still need someone in Beijing.
However, the noble families in the capital privately did not welcome their arrival. How could they allow others to sleep soundly beside their beds?
Who doesn’t want more helpers in the court? If these guys from Yun Sucheng go to the capital and become officials, what will happen to the aristocratic families in the capital?
I heard that Li Huaiqing of the Li family is about to be promoted by His Majesty. Now it would be great if someone from Yunsu City could also make a name for himself in the court.
Paving the way for subsequent students from Yunsu City to embark on the road to imperial examinations.
Prince Youshan is the emperor's younger brother who was close to Your Majesty before he ascended the throne. It is said that their relationship is special. If we can establish a good relationship with him and get his help, it will not be that difficult to fight against the current situation in the capital.
Most of the people in Yunsu City are businessmen who have traveled far and wide and have broadened their horizons.
They were not like the old scholar in the capital who was dissatisfied with Prince Youshan's bloodline and always felt that he had tarnished the royal bloodline.
Xiao Zhengdu also realized this point. Although he did not accept all of Yun Sucheng's flattery, he at least enjoyed it.
He didn't mind helping them.
Lou Xiao was quite happy watching him from the dark, but she was not in a hurry to show up.
Instead, at night, he sneaked into Xiao Zhengdu's room as a prank,
He walked over after taking a shower wearing only a loose pajamas. Before he saw her, he heard some crunching sounds, like someone was eating something secretly.
Xiao Zhengdu paused, then smiled and quickened his pace.
When I pushed open the door, I saw that the person sitting at the table, leaning over to reach the fruit on the plate, who else could it be but her.
"When did you come back without even saying hello?" Xiao Zhengdu sat on the chair on the other side.
"Things in Yunsu City are almost done. We can set off back to the capital."
Lou Xiao nodded as she nibbled on it, "Not too sweet—"
"That's for smelling the fruit, not for you to eat, so naturally the taste isn't good enough." Xiao Zhengdu called the guard in,
"If you're hungry, I'll have someone make you something to eat. It's not good to always eat fruit."
Lou Xiao shook her head and said, "I went to the Wang family."
She talked about Nalan in the countryside, the man who was said to be extremely beautiful and the one the Wang family was obsessed with.
After hesitating for a moment, he still said that the man seemed to be from Nanzi.
Xiao Zhengdu said impartially, "If Nanzi is prone to producing beauties, the world should have known it long ago. People wearing Nanzi clothes are not necessarily from Nanzi."
But he is someone like Mo Jingchun, who has a village totem on his waist.
