Houfu Key Class

How could she not hate him?

She wanted to cut Luo Jingfeng into pieces so that he would return their best prince.

But the prince could not come back.

Never again.

On the seventh day, Luo Jingfeng died.

The Prince of Zhennan heard the news and came to rebel, but it was too late.

The military power had been taken back by the royal family. Zong Zhao was rewarded for capturing Luo Jingfeng and was named the General of Zhenxi by the emperor. Soon he led his troops to fight and quell the rebellion in Yunnan.

In less than half a year, the Prince of Zhennan died in battle, and the Luo brothers who had threatened the court for more than ten years were successively destroyed.

The people cheered and the whole country celebrated.

Zong Zhao returned the military power to the emperor. He walked on the busy streets, listening to the celebration of fireworks and firecrackers, and the depression in his chest was relieved a lot.

It's getting better slowly, he thought.

Zong Zhao walked with big strides, but stopped when he passed a small alley.

In the alley, Xu Wan was chasing a little boy: "High school list, hurry back to school to recite, with your character of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, what kind of list can you get?"

Zong Zhao was stunned.

Although her tone and smile did not change, her clothes were no longer as luxurious as before. She was not even dressed well in the Shangshu Mansion. She had no makeup on her face and no red hairpins. She was even wearing only linen clothes and was poor.

She...

How could she become like this?

Zong Zhao didn't know what happened to Xu Wan. He hurriedly chased after her. After running through the long alley, he saw her holding the boy named High School List and returning to the dilapidated house.

There were six or seven wild children sitting inside, dressed in rags. Two or three of them were reading a book together, reciting the contents of the Book of Rites.

"Master, how do you pronounce this word?"

Xu Wan took a look and replied: "This word is pronounced as wei. What's wrong with you, kid? I've taught you three times but you still haven't remembered it? I'll punish you to write this word ten times. You must remember it well today."

The little student asked back: "Oh, okay, but Master Xu, the floor is almost covered with my drawings, and there is no place to write."

Xu Wan said: "Then use water to mop the floor to wash away the dust from the previous writing. When the floor is dry, you can write again, right?"

"That makes sense! Master, you are so smart!"

"Master is smart. She not only knows the Four Books and Five Classics, but also writes policy essays. If she can also participate in the imperial examination, she will definitely be the top scorer!"

"Wow! So amazing!!"

"..."

In the small, broken house, several children surrounded Xu Wan. They seemed to be unaware of the poor environment here. They only focused on this small world and listened to her lectures attentively.

Zong Zhao felt very distressed, but he did not rush to disturb them. Instead, he left quietly and immediately went to check what happened.

Liu, the housekeeper, told him: "Three months ago, the eldest son of Jin Guogong, Chen... divorced his wife."

Zong Zhao slapped the stone table with one hand, and asked angrily: "Divorce? How dare he? Xu Wan is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, and Shangshu Xu just watched it?"

Liu, the housekeeper, was scared. He never thought that the general still remembered Xu Wan, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, there are rumors outside that the eldest son Chen has a prostitute and a child. Miss Xu insisted on getting a divorce, but the eldest son Chen refused. In the end, he wrote her a letter of divorce on the grounds that he had no children for more than two years. His daughter was divorced, and Shangshu Xu broke off the father-daughter relationship with Miss Xu in a rage. Miss Xu, who didn't know where she went..."

The husband's family divorced his wife, and the natal family broke off the relationship.

She had no one to rely on and nowhere to go.

Zong Zhao ran out quickly. He wanted to find her. He wanted to tell her: he liked her, he wanted to marry her, he would treat her well, and he could be her support.

In the dilapidated primary school, the orphans gathered around the fire to keep warm after class.

A child asked: "Master Xu, I heard that you used to be the wife of a wealthy family. Do you feel sad to have changed from such a good life to what you are now?"

Xu Wan smiled and said: "No, there are many pits in the big and big families. I don't like the life there. Studying with you is the most interesting, quiet, pure and happy."

"Ah? Really? Then Master Xu, if another wealthy family wants to invite you to be the wife, will you not go?" The children were afraid that she would leave at any time, and then they would become orphans with no one to take care of them.

Xu Wan was used to taking care of the brothers and sisters in the welfare home in modern times, so of course she could guess what they were afraid of.

So she replied with a smile: "No, no, no, a nest of gold or silver is not as good as our own nest. As for me, Master Xu, I will never leave you. I want to watch you grow up, pass the exam, get a career, and start a family. This is what I think is the happiest thing."

"Wow! That's great! Master Xu will never leave us!"

The children stood up happily and circled around her.

Xu Wan looked up at them playing, her beautiful eyes were clear and pure.

It started to rain outside, extinguishing the newly rekindled hope.

People who have a crush on someone are cowards.

Don't dare to step forward, don't dare to contact, don't dare to confess.

Zong Zhao was thinking: Is his arrival a salvation or a disturbance to her?

He couldn't think of an answer.

Zong Zhao left a purse outside the hut.

Later, he often went to see her, but he always helped her beat away the hooligans who tried to seize their territory without disturbing them, and gave her bags of silver.

But their lives were never getting better, and they didn't know why.

After watching her leave again, the emperor summoned him to the palace to discuss important matters. Zong Zhao originally wanted to send her some books after he came back, but he didn't expect... he couldn't come back.

A large number of secret guards and imperial guards poured out of the palace, and threatened him with his family to force him to surrender.

When Zong Zhao recovered, he had already been taken to prison.

When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked.

The emperor was afraid of him.

Fearing that he would become the next Luo Jingfeng, before he had any intention of rebelling, he was taken to the sky prison on the charge of treason, along with his family and his nine relatives in Yuanyang Marquis Mansion.

In the sky prison, Jin Cheng came to see him.

This child who was entrusted to him by the prince and raised by him as his own son for ten years, even when he was fighting the most fiercely with Luo Jingfeng, did not reveal his identity.

At this moment, she cried and threw herself into his arms, regretting, "Dad, how could this happen? Why is our whole family going to die? What should we do? What should we do? Woo woo woo, why am I so useless? I can't do anything. I can't save you. I can't do anything..."
