This night, not only the members of Yao's family could not sleep at night, but Wen Jingsui also could not sleep well in the Wen's next door. He was awakened by a burst of thunder and lightning.

Since meeting the Confucian sage that day and accepting Liu Bingzhou's inheritance of Confucianism and Taoism, Wen Jing has been aware of the changes in himself.

He is more sensitive to things, and more sensitive to the surrounding atmosphere than before.

He didn't know what happened between Yao Shouning and Lu Zhiye, but he couldn't fall back to sleep after waking up.

Somewhere, he had a premonition that he might have lost something very important.

It was the end of December and it was supposed to be very cold after nightfall.

But when Wen Jingsui was lying on the bed, he felt agitated and restless. He was covered in hot sweat and soaked his underwear.

He couldn't fall asleep anyway, so he simply dressed and got up, and turned on the lamp.

The boy sleeping in the outer room was having a good dream, and there was a soft snoring sound.

He wiped his face with water and took out a book from the cabinet on one side to read. In the past, when he was upset and irritable, he could just read a book to immerse himself in it, which calmed him down—especially the knowledge of Confucianism and Taoism. After the inheritance, he is more prone to indulge in the world in the books.

But tonight he was staring at the words in the book in a daze, unable to read them at all.

He was flustered and anxious, as if he had missed a huge opportunity.

What happened in the end?

He closed the book, frowning and thinking hard.

As the Chinese New Year approached, the family was peaceful and peaceful.

After the new year is over, he will prepare for the next year's scientific examination and strive to become an official.

At this moment in the middle of the night, what could make him restless, not to mention restless sleep, and even unable to read a book?
Could it be...

He thought of Yao Shouning!
With this thought, Wen Jingsui suddenly couldn't sit still, and subconsciously stood up.

But before he took any steps, he saw the hourglass in the corner of the room.

It was just midnight (around [-] o'clock in the morning), and the people of the Yao family might have fallen asleep already.

If he went there rashly, knocking on the door openly, he would be disturbing people's tranquility; if he was sneaking around, it would not be the behavior of a gentleman.

Thinking of this, Wen Jingsui forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and began to recite the sage's instructions.

But the more he memorized, the more irritable he became, and he just felt that the time passed tonight was extremely slow.

About two hours later, there was another thunder and lightning.

This burst of lightning and thunder was different from the thunder that woke him up before, and the formation was even more astonishing. From the thunder and lightning, he actually sensed a bit of heavenly power—as if something touched the heavens and made the heavens descend. Nine Heavens God Thunder.

As soon as the thunder sound fell, it began to rain cats and dogs.

The rain was so fierce that it woke up the young servant who was sleeping soundly.

"Son—"

His servant named You An, two years younger than him, rubbed his eyes and sat up:

"Why did you get up so early? I'll fetch water for you."

"No need." Wen Jingsui couldn't help showing joy when he saw Youan sitting up, and said hastily:

"Hurry up and prepare something, and follow me to Yao's house."

You'an was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously turned his head to look at the door. It was stormy outside, and the falling rainwater formed ditches, and it was rushing. You still want to go out at this time?

But he didn't speak, and seeing that Wen Jingsui had put down his book and started to comb his hair, he knew that he had made up his mind, so he nodded in response.

The master and the servant were dressed properly, and You'an opened the umbrella, just as the door was opened, the wind mixed with rain came in, almost breaking the bamboo bones of the umbrella.

He could barely hold the umbrella, and couldn't help but glance at Wen Jingsui hesitantly:
"It's raining so hard at this time, the young master really wants to go?"

"Go!"

Wen Jingsui said categorically that he hadn't slept all night, and he should have been very sleepy at this time, but the uneasiness in his heart did not disappear with the passage of time, on the contrary, it became more overwhelming.

He always felt that if he didn't act, he might lose Yao Shouning.

"Madam over there..."

"We'll talk when we come back." Wen Jingsui replied lightly, then shook his rain-drenched clothes and stepped out.

Although he wanted to avoid Mrs. Wen, in Mrs. Wen's heart, this was his most precious son, so naturally he had a lot of heart for him.

It rained heavily today, the news that Wen Jingsui braved the wind and rain and went out with an umbrella with You An soon reached Mrs. Wen's ears, making her unable to sit still, so she hurried over, and before Wen Jingsui came out of the gate, she would He stopped at home.

"Where are you going on such a rainy day?"

Mrs. Wen was drenched and her lips were black with cold.

But she didn't care about herself, but took out her handkerchief to wipe the water off her son's shoulders and sleeves.

At this time, the cold wind was blowing like a knife on his face. He was originally wearing a padded Confucian robe and a cloak, but before he even left the gate, his cloak was already soaked by rain. Drip down the water with ankle 'tick tock'.

Mrs. Wen's eyes fell on her son's pale face, and her eye circles were red with anxiety:

"It's not yet dawn. If there is something to do, can't you tell other people to do it? Look at you, your clothes are all wet, if you get cold, what's the big deal?"

"Mom, I'm going to Yao's house."

When Wen Jingsui saw his mother, he secretly sighed in his heart, but he still responded.

"What are you doing at Yao's house now?"

Mrs. Wen stomped her feet when she heard this:
"Is there anything important, can't we go after the rain stops?"

"I'm going now." He was not stupid, knowing that he couldn't directly say that he was upset because of Yao Shouning, so he made an excuse:

"Yesterday I heard that a servant from the palace came to Yao's house and asked the teacher to go to the palace for a banquet. I didn't come back before the house was locked last night. I want to go and see the teacher."

Known child Moruomu.

As soon as Mrs. Wen heard his words, she knew that he didn't go for Liu Bingzhou.

She sneered twice, paused for wiping her son's hand, and said:

"I'm afraid you don't want to see Liu Bingzhou, but want to see Shou Ning?"

Grandma Sun stood behind her with an umbrella, seeing the mother and son stiffen.

Wen Jingsui pursed his lips and remained silent.

He didn't deny it.

Mrs. Wen's heart sank, and she faintly felt that things were out of her control.

"you……"

She was about to speak, but Wen Jingsui seemed to have figured it out suddenly, and nodded in agreement:

"Correct."

His tightly knit eyebrows were loosened, as if he had removed the big rock in his heart, and no longer had to entangle with his mother:

"I want to see Shouning."

"You're crazy..."

Mrs. Wen's eyes widened, and the words in her heart blurted out.

This son is her pride, and she has always been reluctant to say a harsh word to him.

But at this time, when he heard him say that he wanted to see Yao Shouning, Mrs. Wen felt angry from her heart:
"It's in vain that you are reading a book of sages, yet speaking so frivolously!"

While she was speaking, her face was faintly hot, and she only felt angry and hated.

On the day of Yao Shouning's birthday, Yao and Wen's families were not very happy. She used Yao Ruoyun's mouth to send a message to Liu's family, which almost meant to let the two families cancel their marriage.

Now, in Mrs. Wen's opinion, Wen Jingsui had nothing to do with Yao Shouning, but his son suddenly said that he wanted to see him at this time. Naturally, his behavior was extremely inappropriate.

"Don't talk nonsense and destroy the Shouning Festival!"

She suppressed her anger and reached out to pull her son's arm:

"Come back with me, change your clothes..."

"Do not……"

Wen Jingsui shook his head, raised his arms high, and took a step back.

Mrs. Wen was short and plump, only reaching his shoulders, and his retreat made Mrs. Wen's movements to grab and hold him in vain.

Without waiting for his mother to get angry, he repeated it again:
"I'm going to see Shouning."

He looked at his mother who was holding back her anger, and said seriously:
"I don't agree with what my mother said that day. I will go to Yao's house and personally apologize to the teacher and Mrs. Liu."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Mrs. Wen was shocked when she heard the words, and always felt that things were faintly out of her control, which made her a little uneasy:

"Aren't you listening to your mother?"

"I'm not talking nonsense." Wen Jingsui shook his head and said:

"In the past, I was too obedient to my mother's words, and I was rigid and polite, so I let you do things."

Not far away, You'an and Nanny Sun saw the mother and son confronting each other, they didn't dare to make a sound.

Grandma Sun saw the two of them quarreled extremely stiffly, they seemed to be stubborn, panicked in her heart, she quickly winked at You'an, and signaled him to go to rescue the soldiers.

At this time Wen Qingzhe had already gone out to court, and the only one in the family who could persuade the two of them was Wen Xianrong.

Seeing the eyes, You'an immediately turned and left.

Wen Jingsui saw his movements, but did not make a sound, but turned to Mrs. Wen:
"Mom can't be like this."

"Why can't I... Yao Shouning is outgoing, not dignified and virtuous. He provoked many people before marriage, so he is not a good match for you..."

"not like this."

Wen Jingsui interrupted Mrs. Wen loudly:

"You know that Shouning is not such a person."

"Yes!" Mrs. Wen promised loudly:
"She doesn't have such a character, but she is good-looking, so she is not from IKEA, let alone her character is not docile."

"But I like her!"

Wen Jingsui suddenly said loudly.

This cry shocked Nanny Sun at a loss, and also shocked Mrs. Wen in a daze on the spot.

He is introverted and rarely shows his emotions like this.

"You are really crazy..." Mrs. Wen suddenly felt that the son in front of her was very strange, and some things seemed to be getting out of control. She felt extremely uneasy and shook her head one after another:
"Even such nonsense."

"I really like Shouning." Wen Jingsui looked down at his mother, at this moment Mrs. Wen was already in a panic.

She has always been the best at hiding her emotions, whether she is angry or sad, she always smiles, but now it is difficult for her to maintain her composure.

Mrs. Wen's face still has unhealed scars, which were scratched when she was fighting with people from Prince Jian's residence on Yao Shouning's birthday a few days ago.

After being soaked in water at this time, the scar turned white, and against her bluish face and hair that hadn't been combed neatly, she looked a little pitiful.

"I treat Shouning as my future wife." Wen Jingsui's heart softened, and his tough tone softened a little. After speaking, his knees softened, and he knelt down:
"Mother, I really like her, I don't want to lose her, and I don't want to have any misunderstanding with the Yao family."

The moment he knelt down, puddles on the ground were splashed.

The young man's back was straight, and he was begging, but his eyes were extremely firm.

The scene in front of her shocked Mrs. Wen's heart, causing her to back away tremblingly:

"Hehe..." She sneered:

"I didn't realize that there is a seed of infatuation in our Wen family."

She knew that her son liked Yao Shouning, but she didn't know that Wen Jingsui liked him so much that he was willing to kneel down in public for her.

"Mrs……"

Nanny Sun stepped forward a little uneasy, and called softly.

"It's really my good son, my good son..." Mrs. Wen's lips trembled, her heart flustered and at a loss.

"Mother." Wen Jingsui did not give in because of his mother's performance, but instead sighed a long time, and said softly:

"The Yao family moved here for nearly ten years, right?"

He clearly talked about the matter with Yao Shouning, but for some reason he brought up these old news again.

Mrs. Wen only felt that her heart was pounding against her chest, and she was short of breath for a while. Luckily, Nanny Sun stepped forward to push her chest and pat her back.

She let it go, and when she heard her son's words, she responded with hatred:
"Yes! You remember clearly!"

"After Xianrong's marriage with Eldest Young Master Yao was finalized, you asked me how I felt about the second young lady of the Yao family not long after."

"Yes!"

Mrs. Wen responded again.

After the Yao family moved to Shendu, she also observed the Yao family for a while.

Although Yao Hui is said to be a rough man, but Liu's family was born in a scholarly family, he is forthright and has no heart, and his well-bred son is also very polite.

She has a pair of daughters, the eldest daughter is weak, but the second daughter is raised innocently and lively, it can be seen that the Liu family did not favor sons over daughters and treated their daughters badly.

After thinking about it for a while, the two got married.

Mrs. Wen is very sure that with Liu's character, her daughter will not suffer after she marries in the future.

After Wen Xianrong's marriage was settled at that time, the two parties knew each other well, so Mrs. Wen wanted to make her more intimate, and at that time she also asked her son what he meant.

"You liked Shouning back then, and you were interested in her, so you asked me what I meant."

It was precisely because of Mrs. Wen's question back then that Wen Jingsui gradually took his heart.

"If you intend to get closer, I will regard Shouning as my future wife. I have been studying hard all these years, wanting to get fame and fame, and want to start a career and start a family."

Every step of his life's plan has the shadow of Yao Shouning.

"I've waited so many years and you're telling me to give up now."

Wen Jingsui raised his head and looked directly at Mrs. Wen:

"It was you who made me like her at ease, why do you think I can let go easily?"

If it wasn't for Mrs. Wen back then, with his reserved and restrained personality, how could he be easily emotional?
He always thought that what he liked was his future wife, so what's wrong with that?
"You made me fall in love with her, and now you blame me for liking her too frivolously. If you don't like me now, why did you make the decision to kiss her again?"

"I……"

Mrs. Wen was left speechless by her son's question, and she didn't even dare to look him in the eyes.

Under the gaze of her son, she felt guilty, and finally had no choice but to say:

"Marriage is a matter of parents' words. If a matchmaker's agreement can be fulfilled, of course it would be great. If not, I will find another lover for you..."

"No way!"

Wen Jingsui shook his head:
"I'm a person, I have my own feelings, how can I let it go if I like it?"

"Why can't you let go?" Mrs. Wen said angrily, "Mother is also for your own good..."

Is it for his own good, or for her good?

If it's for his own good, then why can't he follow his wishes?
And if Mrs. Wen herself didn't agree with the marriage, why did she say it was for his own good?
Wen Jingsui twitched the corners of his mouth, and said softly:
"Why is mother so angry?"

Mrs. Wen subconsciously avoided his eyes.

She felt guilty and thought:
Her son is so smart, he must know at this time that the reason she is so angry is because he no longer listens to her and refuses to go along with her in this matter.

Mrs. Wen's love is not only a fortress that protects her son's growth, but also a siege that restrains him from his palm.

She used to think that she didn't ask for anything in return for her love for her son, but now it seems that she also has requirements: that is, she can't allow him not to listen to her arrangements, and she can't allow him to go against her wishes.

"Mom, I'm going out for a while."

When Wen Jingsui saw his mother's face turning gray instantly, he knew that she had understood the meaning of what he hadn't said.

He said something softly, then got up from the ground, opened the door, and quickly rushed into the heavy rain.

Mrs. Wen stretched out her hand, wanting to keep him, but thinking of his previous look, she flinched and withdrew her hand back.

After Wen Jingsui went out, his expression became firm.

He has already thought about how to plead guilty to Liu Shi and how to prove his heart to Liu Shi.

While thinking about it, suddenly someone seemed to be coming towards him.

One was devastated, nervous about meeting the Liu family soon; the other was the eldest son who had just separated from Yao Shouning, but did not receive the expected response and was lost and wronged.

In the storm, both of them were thoughtful, they didn't notice someone approaching in front of them, they didn't dodge until they saw that they were about to hit each other.

However, no matter how agile the two people's movements were, they still collided with each other's shoulders.

Shizi possesses martial arts skills, his foot is extremely stable, and his back is straight even after being bumped. On the contrary, although Wen Jingsui also wants to practice boxing after studying to strengthen his body, after all, he cannot compare with a person like Shizi who often practices martial arts, so He staggered, and hurriedly retreated two steps to one side before standing still.

In the 'crashing' rain, Wen Jingsui's eyes were blinded by the moisture.

He only vaguely saw an extremely tall figure in front of him, wearing a coir raincoat, his shoulders were extremely broad, and the bamboo hat on his head blocked his face, making it difficult for people to see his appearance clearly.

But judging from the black hair wrapped around his body, he is a very young and tall man.

"I'm really sorry."

He collected himself and quickly apologized:

"Brother, I was in a trance and accidentally bumped into someone."

"No problem."

Lu Zhi stretched out a hand, and raised the bamboo hat with his fingertips.

With sharp eyes, he recognized Wen Jingsui's identity immediately.

This well-known genius in Shendu was extremely embarrassed at this time, his body was drenched and his face was pale, but he could still see that he was good-looking, and his eyes were like cold stars.

He has a gentle temperament, and he didn't develop an over-the-top temperament because he became famous at a young age and was praised by Gu Xiang.

After being hit by someone, he was not angry, but apologized very gently and politely.

At this moment, the alarm bell rang in Shizi's heart, and he felt a strong hostility towards this talented man who had wanted to recruit.
