(I don’t like asking for votes, but you can’t help but vote)
The old lady's words made Su Hong freeze on the spot, but an idea flashed through his mind.
A gentleman helps the world with his virtues. Those who cultivate virtues are Confucian and Confucian scholars. They emphasize kindness, unity, peace of mind, and peace of mind. But now, the old lady wants to kill someone herself.
Is this trying to break one's own character?
Could it be that the old lady has noticed the awe-inspiring aura in me and has the same thoughts as that old man Tom Xin? Does she want to destroy my awe-inspiring aura?
His eyes narrowed, and anger emerged in his heart. Is the old lady trying to trap me into injustice?
"Are you the bastard outside Marquis Jingwu? You don't seem to be a good person." Suddenly, the man who was being held up by the neck by the old lady stared at Su Hong with a fierce look in his eyes.

Su Hong stretched out his hand and instantly broke the opponent's neck.
That's right, I am not a gentleman, let alone a Confucian scholar. If you are your truest self, your mind will naturally be clear, so why bother caring about those unnecessary things.
"Hong'er, don't think that I am cruel, old lady. You are a scholar, but you are also the son of Marquis Jingwu. In the future, you will be the one who will inherit the throne. Originally, old lady, I wanted to test your character and see if you can
I am too timid, but it seems that I have overthought what happened today. Wouldn’t you blame the old lady for making my own decisions? Quite a few words.”
"Su Hong doesn't dare." Su Hong said. It was difficult to guess the old lady's thoughts, and he didn't want to make groundless speculations.
But after what happened just now, his mood suddenly became clear, and he had no worries about things he couldn't figure out, and things he could do but couldn't do.
To be a human being, you must be your truest self.
A gentleman is magnanimous, and a villain is always concerned. This is the truth.
"I didn't expect that there are still remnants of Dongsheng Kingdom. This matter is not simple. Huh, let me investigate~"
The old lady glanced at Su Hong, and then said calmly, "Hong'er, there are a lot of things today, so you go back first. Madam, I will see you to watch the theater with me another day."
"Su Hong, please retreat." Su Hong bowed and retreated.
…
…
"Old lady, you just tested me. Did the young master come from Taixue Palace?" Just before Su Hong left, there was an extra person beside the old lady, and it was the housekeeper Tang Xin.
"No." The old lady said calmly, "I have had contact with Taixue Palace. If he was born in Taixue Palace, he can't hide it from me."
"Is it so easy for an old lady to make judgments?"
"Oh? Are you questioning me?" The old lady suddenly looked at Tang Xin.
"I don't dare, I just..."
"No, let's just let this matter go. No matter what others think, he will always be my grandson. From now on, if anyone has any thoughts about him, don't blame the old lady. I'm rude."
"Yes." Tang Xin said.
"The one who just pretended to be the remnant of Dongsheng was Dongzhang."
"Exactly."
"Dongzhang has been with me the longest and is the person who knows me best. He is the only one who can do the assassination unnoticed in the play. It's a pity." The old lady sighed and said immediately, "Go and make arrangements.
All the descendants of Dongzhang, let them have peace of mind, we will take care of them for the next two generations."
"clear."
"Back off."
…
…
Marquis Jingwu's Mansion is heavily guarded, and no one dares to leave the old lady's safety unattended. The person who assassinated the old lady just now obviously knows everything about the Marquis' Mansion.
Is this a conspiracy? Or was it carefully planned by this person?
On the way to leave, Su Hong considered it alone, like a bright light in his heart. This assassination incident seemed to be flawless, but the more flawless it was, the more suspicious it became.
He sneered in his heart, he was really careful at every step in the Hou Mansion.
Was this calculation done by the old lady, or... by someone else?
Tom Xin?….
"Hmph, I have a great aura, and only Tang Xin has doubts about this matter. Unfortunately, I blocked it. In the entire Marquis Mansion, only Tang Xin suspected that I was a disciple of Taixue Palace. What if the old lady didn't get the news about Tang Xin?
He would come up with ways to test me. After I warned him, this old man did not dare to come, so he ordered the old lady to deal with me..."
"But you never would have thought that because of your relationship, my mind has become clearer and my soul has grown stronger. Although my realm has not improved, among the nine stars in the sea of consciousness, one star's light is brighter than the others.
."
Although Su Hong didn't understand what was happening with the shimmering stars in his sea of consciousness, he had a vague feeling that when all these shimmering stars evolved into stars, the entire sea of consciousness would undergo earth-shaking changes, and it was very likely that the starry sky would evolve.
.
"The Hou Mansion has many eyes and ears. Cultivation is too dangerous. If I am not careful, my knowledge of Haoran Qi may be leaked. I must be careful in my future cultivation. The best way is to practice outside the Hou Mansion.
, maybe one day I have the opportunity, I will definitely move out of the Hou Mansion, and take my second mother over as well."
Su Hong had a wishful thinking, but he also knew that it would be difficult to implement it.
Either he could gain fame as a scholar, get second place in high school, be valued by the Shang Emperor, become an important minister of the court, and have his own mansion.
Or use the power of martial arts to become a high-ranking and powerful person like Marquis Jingwu.
In comparison, he is more confident about being ranked second in high school.
"I am not good at martial arts, but I have read as many books as anyone else. I used to be a poor scholar, but now I am the Young Marquis of Jingwu. With this status, I am afraid..."
Suddenly, Su Hong began to laugh at himself. He did not expect that one day he would have the idea of 'relying on connections', but immediately, there was no more distractions in his mind.
Even if he didn't rely on connections, his ability would definitely be at the top of the list, and Su Hong would not give in even an inch on this point.
"Hey..." He let out a long sigh and merged the memories of the two lives. He didn't like reading so much, but what he loved more was martial arts. In the Great Shang Dynasty, it was difficult to move even without force.
When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain why. Su Hongke has personal experience of this kind of thing.
That day in Qingshan Town, I almost succumbed to the punishment of fifty sticks. All my knowledge was completely vulnerable to the stick.
"You can't practice in the Marquis Mansion. If you go outside, there will be servants following you. Where can you go without being disturbed?"
Suddenly, Su Hong fell into thinking.
Suddenly, his eyes opened slightly, and a figure appeared in his mind involuntarily.
Princess Ruyang
"Although Princess Ruyang kidnapped me, she is not bad-hearted. Now that I have confirmed the identity of the young marquis, she does not dare to do anything to me. If she can contact Princess Ruyang, maybe..."
"Young Master, the guard just sent news that famous scholars from Kyoto have gathered at the Yellow Crane Tower. I heard that you are a scholar, and I specially invite you to come and discuss literature and Taoism together." Just when Su Hong was at a loss what to do,
Listening to Qin Qiao came to Su Hong.
In an instant, Su Hong's eyes lit up. This essay was a great opportunity for him.
