King Duan's residence
Ouyang Deqian was lazily leaning on a large armchair with a beautiful woman in his arms. The woman was feeding him with a flattering expression…
Seeing someone coming, Ouyang Deqian's face flashed with a trace of displeasure. He asked coldly,"How's the investigation going?" Is there any news about those two?"
"Master, Ling Yue has been at Qingyun Temple for the past two days. Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu are at Manchun Brothel…" The subordinate hurriedly replied respectfully.
"Oh? " They're in a leisurely mood…" Ouyang Deqian became interested when he heard that Shaogong and Tusu were in the Manchun Brothel." I didn't know that those two people, who look so sanctimonious all day, actually like this…"
When the subordinate saw Ouyang Deqian's expression, he naturally went along with him and said," It's probably Ouyang Shaogong who wants to win Baili Tusu over. Baili Tusu came down from the mountain for the first time. He must have never seen orioles and verdant flowers. So…hehe…" As the man spoke, he laughed wretchedly…
Ouyang Deqian looked at his subordinate. Suddenly, his face darkened." What time will Ouyang Shaogong return to King Jing's Mansion tonight?" Which way? I've investigated it clearly…"
" I'll go and investigate now…" The man quickly turned around and disappeared after receiving the order.
Ouyang Deqian would never allow that sickly person to jump up and down under his eyes. For so many years, among his brothers, his father valued Ouyang Shaogong. It was a pity that he had a weak body. Otherwise, he would have been made the Crown Prince long ago.
Even so, as long as Ouyang Shaogong was around, Ouyang Deqian felt like a fishbone was stuck in his throat. Since he was trying to win over Baili Tusu, it meant that he was no longer content with being a leisurely prince like before. So…he could not blame himself for being cruel. Compared to the supreme power in the world, a sickly half-brother was nothing. To achieve great things, one must have a ruthless and decisive drive. A cruel sneer flashed across the corner of Ouyang Deqian's mouth…
On the third day, Tu Su went to Wu Yan's room again. She did not embroider, but seemed to be waiting for him. Tu Su asked her,"Have you finished your embroidery?"
Wu Yan smiled." I'm done. I'm not in a hurry for today's work. Granny Sun is much better after taking medicine." Let me play a little tune for you today. It won't be in vain for you to mix around in this Manchun Brothel every day…"
Tu Su laughed when he heard Wu Yan tease him like this."Alright then, Miss Wuyan, please play something nice…"
" Tsk," Wu Yan snorted." Ordinary people can't hear my zither skills. It's your fortune to be able to hear my zither music today…"
Tu Su was amused by the slightly angry expression that Wu Yan deliberately made, and his smile deepened." Alright, then Tu Su will listen attentively today. Let's hear what kind of immortal music Miss Wu Yan can play…"
Wuyan didn't say anything more. She sat beside the zither with a smile. Her slender fingers plucked the zither, and a melody like the sound of nature drifted out with Wuyan's smooth movements...
Tu Su wasn't a person who listened to music for leisure, but when he heard Wu Yan's zither music, he actually felt as if he was there himself. One moment, he felt as if he was bathing in the rain in early spring, and the next moment, he felt as if he was admiring the moon on a high mountain, and his aura was majestic…When the zither music was low, it sounded like he was weeping. When the zither music was cheerful, even his mind relaxed along with the zither music…
After Wu Yan finished playing the song, Tu Su was still reminiscing about it. Wu Yan looked at Tu Su's intoxicated appearance and said proudly,"How was it? I played it well, right?"”
Tu Su came back to his senses and solemnly nodded." Very good. I like listening to it very much. I don't really understand the zither…Your zither music can bring me into a state of mind that belongs to you. Very good…I've also heard Shao Gong play the zither. The way he plays is different from the way you play it…"
Hearing Tu Su's comment, he said with a smile,"Shaogong is best at Jade Mountain. I've already secretly learned it.”
"Shaogong taught me a little, but I'm not very good at playing. It doesn't feel as good as practicing the sword…"
" You'll learn it slowly. Playing the zither can train one's temperament, making one less impatient and frustrated. It can also help to calm one's mood…"
As Wu Yan spoke, a natural smile appeared on her face…although she did not look like a beauty, that instant of temperament made Tu Su's heart beat faster. It was as if she was not an unremarkable little girl, but a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world. It was just that this fairy might have fallen and ruined her face when she fell into the mortal world, but it did not affect her joy and temperament in the slightest…
Tu Su's mood also became better along with that shameless smile. Tu Su looked at her seriously and called out softly,"Wuyan…"
Wu Yan's bright eyes looked at Tu Su with some doubt."Hmm?"
"You seem to be so happy every day. Can you tell me why?”
Wu Yan saw Tu Su's serious expression and suddenly thought of the times when he played with Tu Su when they were young. He had mixed feelings in his heart and his eyes became misty. He whispered," My mother told me that no matter what kind of situation I was in, I had to live happily. Therefore, I couldn't let my mother see me unhappy, unhappy. That way, she would be worried…"
Wu Yan's words were actually meant for Tu Su to hear. His mother, Aunt Ning, had left him in such a way. He must have had a hard time all these years. However, with his status, he could not implicate him. He could not even console him directly. Thus, he could only say this and hope that he could understand.
In fact, Wu Yan really wanted to hold his hand and say,"Su Su, if Aunt Ning sees that you're unhappy all day, she'll definitely be worried about you."
But Wuyan couldn't say that she wasn't Qingxue at the moment. She was Wuyan.
"Su Su, I think you're unhappy a lot. Why?”Wu Yan changed his method and wanted to enlighten him directly. However, Tu Su's eyes avoided that pair of bright eyes. He looked elsewhere and raised his guard. He said indifferently," There are many reasons. I don't want to say them…"
" You can tell me about your unhappiness, and I'll help you share some of it. Or, you can tell me about your unhappiness, and you'll feel better. Don't keep it in your heart, bear it yourself…" Wuyan acted like a little girl…
Tu Su naturally understood that Wu Yan was indeed good to him and wanted to share his burden. However, the burden on his body was not something that a little girl like her could bear. Looking at her clear and pure eyes, Tu Su only felt that she was a very pure and kind little girl. He did not expect that she had experienced a life blow that was no less than his…
Qingxue was only 16 years old, but she was already an orphan. She had no relatives and was also a criminal of the imperial court…She had someone she loved in front of her, but she couldn't recognize him…
It was only Qingxue who was strong. Otherwise, how could she have survived until now? She would have long since hidden in a corner to lick her wounds. How could there be such a pure and kind little girl…
Tu Su saw something familiar in Wu Yan's eyes, yet also somewhat oppressive. Tu Su couldn't quite understand what it was. He sighed in his heart and gave Wu Yan a comforting smile." It's alright, I'm already used to this. It's good that you're happy every day…"
