Chapter 384 Confession
When Su Zhihui heard her mother speaking in such a gentle tone, she shuddered involuntarily and glanced at her eldest brother. I’m sorry, brother.
"That man's name is Shen Qi'an, and he was my brother's classmate."
Su's mother said "Oh", with no change in her expression, "It was, but not now?"
When asking the question, she glanced at Su Heng inadvertently. Su Heng was already familiar with his sister's approach, so he had already prepared the answer in his mind.
"Mother, that man's name is Shen Qian'an. He lives in Daohua Village under the jurisdiction of Qingxi County. He did study at Lushan Academy with my son."
Su's mother nodded, "Then what was the reason for dropping out of school?"
When Su Heng was speaking, Su Zhihui carefully raised her eyes and observed the expression on her mother's face carefully. Seeing that she did not show any disgust when she heard that Shen Qian'an lived in the village, she felt a little relieved.
Su's mother was waiting for her son's next words, so she naturally did not miss her daughter's every move. She was so careful, it seemed that she really liked her?
"Mother, Shen Qi'an will be going to the capital to study at the Imperial Academy soon, so he dropped out of Lushan Academy."
Hearing this, Su's mother finally showed some interest. "Go to the Imperial College to study? Is he sure he can get in? Did he drop out of Lushan Academy?"
After all, Lushan Academy is ranked among the best. Isn't it a bit too hasty to drop out like this?
"Yes, because he was recommended by Prince Jingnan."
After hearing this, Su's mother felt that there was something fishy going on, otherwise her son wouldn't have said that. She frowned slightly and asked, "What does this have to do with King Jingnan?"
Isn't the King of Jingnan fighting in the north? Even if the war is over, he won't appear in Suzhou so soon, right?
Su Heng didn't know what to say next, so he looked at Su Zhihui, "Ah Hui, you say the rest yourself."
"it is good."
Su Zhihui cast a grateful look at her eldest brother, then moved her feet and sat next to her mother, holding her arm and leaning on her shoulder.
"Mom, you're not angry, are you?"
Mother Su allowed her to do what she wanted. "What if you are angry? What if you are not angry?"
Su Zhihui had a bright smile on her face. "If you are angry, I will cheer you up first. If you are not angry anymore, I will tell you directly."
Hearing this, Su's mother tapped her forehead from a distance, signaling Su Heng and the maids and servants in the room to leave.
"Don't be angry. Just tell me, that girl doesn't have a man she loves. Before, you didn't want to get married, so mother thought you were still young and didn't want to get married. I never thought that you already have a man you like."
Su Zhihui felt a little embarrassed about her previous actions. "Mother, I was wrong before. I should have told you straight. I shouldn't have made you work so hard for so long. It's my daughter's fault."
Mother Su shook her head. "It's not a big deal. Now, tell me how you met the man you like."
"Mom, she is Ali's fourth brother."
Su's mother was stunned. She hadn't thought of it before, but now that she thought about it, Shen Li and Shen Qian'an, don't they both have the surname Shen?
"So, you met her fourth brother through Shen Li?"
Su Zhihui blushed a little and nodded gently, "Well, after I fell into the water last time, didn't you and dad take me to thank you? That's when we met."
Mother Su nodded, "Then tell me what kind of person he is?"
Su Zhihui blushed and stammered, "Although Fourth Brother Shen and Big Brother are classmates, they are the same kind of people. Big Brother is really a scholar, he can't carry anything with his shoulders or hands."
Mother Su looked at him with amusement and said, "Aren't you afraid that your father and eldest brother will be angry if you say that?"
But what she said is indeed a common problem among most literati.
"If mom doesn't tell big brother, then dad and big brother won't know about it, right?"
Mother Su smiled and asked again: "What kind of scholar is Shen Qi'an?"
"He is not only talented in studying, but also very good at boxing and kicking."
"Oh, really? How did you know that?"
"When my daughter first met him, she didn't know him yet. She was walking down the street when she suddenly heard an old lady in front of her shouting that there was a thief. After he heard it, he caught up with the thief in a few breaths and subdued him with one move."
Su Zhihui said excitedly looking at her mother, "Mom, do you know what that thief looks like?"
She stretched out her hand to gesture, "That thief was twice his size, yet he was able to subdue him with one move, which shows that he is an expert in martial arts."
"When I first met him, I was wondering why a scholar like him would practice martial arts. Later, I heard from my eldest brother that they had fled from Yizhou and experienced many difficulties along the way before they reached Daohua Village. I guess it wouldn't be difficult for him to learn some kung fu."
"anything else?"
"Besides, I like his looks."
Mother Su: "..."
I see, you just like her face!
My heart was filled with mixed feelings. Was this really my daughter? When I look at a man, I always look at his face first!
Thinking that this matter has not been finished yet, I will collect my thoughts first.
"Then why did he go to the Imperial College?"
Su Zhihui was a little hesitant. Prince Jingnan said that his whereabouts should not be told to others. But her father was the magistrate of Qingxi County. If Prince Jingnan appeared in the area under his jurisdiction without telling him, if something happened, her father would have to bear the responsibility, right?
"What's wrong? Is there something you can't tell me?"
Su Zhihui nodded, "This matter can only be told to you and Dad, you can't let anyone else know."
"Okay, you say."
"Mom, you already know that Shen Qi'an went to the Imperial College because he was recommended by Prince Jingnan. Are you curious about how Prince Jingnan knew the Shen family?"
Su's mother nodded. It was indeed true. How could people who seemed to have nothing to do with each other get together?
"Because Prince Jingnan likes Ah Li, when we went there today, the betrothal gifts had already been sent to the Shen family."
Su's mother was very surprised. This was even more shocking than when she found out that her daughter had someone she liked.
That is the Prince of Jingnan. It is true that Shen Li is a very good girl. But if you take the two of them out separately, they have nothing in common at all. How come they fall in love with each other?
"Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?"
Su Zhihui shook her head, "No, that man's nobility and aura cannot be faked. The pressure he exudes is even more powerful than that of my grandfather."
Su's mother believed that although her daughter's character was a little too simple, she had a good vision.
However, the war in the north had just ended not long ago, so how did Prince Jingnan come here?
The Emperor's birthday festival will be coming soon. She has received news that the Emperor will reward the three armies at the festival. Could it be that Prince Jingnan does not plan to attend?
