Chapter 278: Date (1)
But to say the most powerful…
Su Mo looked at the Scholar Tower of the Imperial College. “It should be the youngest son of the Wei family.”
The Scholar’s Tower was originally not called the Scholar’s Tower. It was just an ordinary bookstore. It was because the youngest son of the Wei family often read inside. After he became the top scholar in high school, this building was renamed the Scholar’s Tower.
The street that he had stayed on for a while before the exam also became Scholar Street.
How glorious was a 17-year-old top scholar?
When he was ten years old, he entered the palace to study with the Wei family. He was talented and dazzling, making all the princes and descendants pale in comparison. Even though the Wei family was once a subordinate of King Nanyang, and Emperor Jing Xuan had a grudge against the Wei family, he sincerely cherished Wei Ting.
In Emperor Jing Xuan’s opinion, Wei Ting was different from the stubborn generals of the Wei family. He had the aloofness and talent of a scholar and was not easy to fight. He was a good seedling that he could carefully nurture.
However, he did not expect something to happen to the Wei family. In order to save his father, brother, and grandfather, Wei Ting resolutely put on his armor.
It was at that moment that Emperor Jing Xuan realized that he had misjudged all those years.
How could the Wei family nurture a weak scholar?
His youngest son, Wei Ting, was the one with the most hidden talent.
From then on, Emperor Jing Xuan became guarded against Wei Ting.
Su MO said earnestly, “The Wei family has too many enemies. It might not be a good thing for you to be related to him.”
“Did he save his family?” This was what Su Xiaoxiao was concerned about.
Su MO shook his head. “When he received the news, it was already too late. The entire Wei family died in battle. Old General Wei’s head was decapitated and hung on the city tower for more than a month. It was not until Wei Ting broke the snow pass and arrived at the city to take back the city that he took Old General Wei’s frozen head.”
“I heard that Wei Ting personally sewed Old General Wei’s head up.”
It was snowing heavily. The young man, who had just turned 18, knelt alone in the snow and stitched his grandfather’s corpse up.
No one knew how much hatred and pain the young man had experienced at that moment.
“Some of his father and brother’s corpses are seriously damaged, and some… can’t even be found… After that, the youngest son of the Wei family seemed to have become a different person.”
The world had seen many of his arrogant, despotic, and unruly appearances. They gradually forgot that he was once the high-spirited scholar who rode the streets and smiled.
Su Xiaoxiao was silent.
After a while, she asked softly, “Has he… ever been depressed?”
“No.” Su MO did not admire many people in his life, but he took his hat off to the youngest son of the Wei family.
This person could die a heroic death and be severely injured, but he would never be depressed.
Even if he only had his last breath, he had to stand upright, tall, and far. Above ten thousand people, he had to raise his head and breathe.
He had once brazenly said that if he was sad, he would make everyone suffer.
Su MO sighed. “I’m not telling you this to share Wei Ting’s past with you. I hope you can consider your relationship with Wei Ting carefully. Anyway, you’re a fake couple. There’s still room for redemption.”
Su Xiaoxiao became vigilant. “Who did you hear that from?”
Su MO hesitated for a moment before confessing truthfully. “Su Yuniang sent a letter.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s almond-shaped eyes widened. “Yuniang wrote to you?”
What kind of progress was this?
Su MO pulled open the secret compartment under the table and took out a few letters. “These are for you. The last one is for me. You can read it too.”
What did he mean that she could read it too? Was that the point?
Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and said with a serious expression, “When did you two hook up? Tell me the truth!”
Su MO choked.
What kind of words were these?
Before Su MO left, he quietly took Old Master Su and Su Dalang away. At the same time, he found Su Yuniang and left his contact information.
He hoped that Su Yuniang would write to him if she remembered or obtained any clues related to the past.
At the same time, if she wanted to contact his cousin, she could send it through him.
That was all.
Su Yuniang mainly wrote to Su Xiaoxiao and wrote one to Su MO on the side. She was worried that Su Xiaoxiao would be bullied in the capital, so she told Su MO in the letter that the couple was a fake couple. If Wei Ting treated Su Daya badly, he had to find a more handsome one for her. That girl was infatuated and only liked good-looking men.
There were a few typos in the letter, but for Su Yuniang, it was already a huge improvement.
Su Yuniang’s letter to Su Xiaoxiao was much noisier.
She wrote a lot, not minding that her handwriting was ugly. She wrote about matters from village to town, from the Su family to Jin Ji..
