After picking up the White Cut Black Prince

At noon, Chenxiang came to Wenchu ​​with a Huanghuali food box. She said, "Today is a day off. The prince is alone in the government office. I think there is no food there. You can go and deliver it."

Wen Chu looked up and asked in confusion, "How can he be hungry when he's this old? There are so many people around him, there must be someone who will make him a meal, why should I make this trip in vain?"

Chenxiang didn't expect Wen Chu to say that, but she thought it was true. But the prince personally ordered her to do this. Song Yusheng said that today was a holiday and there was no one in the government office to cook, so he asked her to ask Wen Chu to bring him food. If Song Yusheng hadn't specifically asked Wen Chu to bring it, Chenxiang wouldn't have bothered her for no reason.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiang quickly said, "No, no, the prince is not used to eating toys bought from outside, so let's send it from home."

Wen Chu still refused, and said, "Then let the secret guards deliver it. I'm clumsy and the food will be cold before I can deliver it."

She really didn't understand why the meal was delivered to her. It seemed more appropriate to ask the secret guards to deliver it.

Chenxiang felt that Wen Chu was right about being clumsy. She was afraid that Wen Chu would spill the soup, so she simply didn't put any soup in. After all, it was better to let the prince eat drier food than to let him see a messy food box.

Chenxiang couldn't continue talking to her, otherwise she would be confused sooner or later.

She simply put the lunch box on the table and said, "Go and deliver it quickly, otherwise it will be past dinner time soon." She left after saying this.

Wen Chu looked at the food box left by Chenxiang and had no choice but to obey and deliver it.

Then she thought, wouldn't she be able to leave the house this way? And Song Yusheng wasn't around! Although those secret guards would follow her, as long as she didn't do anything, they wouldn't bother her.

Thinking of this, she became energized again, picked up the lunch box and walked out immediately.

As soon as Fang walked to the door, he saw Dongyue waiting there. Wen Chu had a bad feeling and asked, "Are you going with me?"

Dong Yue looked at her as if she were mentally retarded and said, "What else? I think life is too boring, so I have nothing to do but to be your door god here for fun?"

Isn't it because she is dishonest?

When Wen Chu heard Dong Yue mocking her, she replied, "It seems that those ten lashes still can't make you keep your mouth shut."

Wen Chu was always a person who didn't spare anyone's words. She didn't dare to argue with Song Yusheng, so how could she not dare to argue with Dongyue? She made it sound like she wanted him to follow her so much, and she found it annoying when he followed her.

It took Dongyue a full half month to recover from the ten whippings. Whipping wounds are the most torturous. After a lot of effort to form scabs, they would split open again due to constant training, and this cycle would repeat over and over again.

Although the whip was a punishment for his bad mouth, didn't Wen Chu also join him in the fight? She was fine, nothing happened, but now she was deliberately using this incident to ridicule him.

Although Dong Yue was a person who forgot the pain after the wound healed, he had just finished the ten whips and the pain was still fresh in his mind. He felt a pang of pain when he thought about it, so he could only hold his anger in. But Wen Chu saw that he didn't say anything, and he looked even more like a villain who had succeeded.

Seeing her like this, Dong Yue's anger, which she had held back with great difficulty, surged up again. She was unable to speak and had no place to vent her anger, so she actually burst into tears.

Wen Chu was startled, but when she saw Dong Yue, who was still looking at her angrily, a tear as big as a bean suddenly fell from her wide eyes.

He was born young, and this made her look like a vicious old woman who bullied others.

"Hey hey hey, why are you crying? Oh my God." She really didn't expect Dong Yue to be so unable to hold her breath.

Dong Yue didn't expect that he could make her cry. He was the youngest of the four secret guards. It was already a great achievement for him to be able to do this at his age. He didn't say a word when he was whipped, but now he was crying in public because of her? !
When he thought about the secret guards surrounding him, he felt that his life was over. His reputation in this life would be ruined today, and he would not live anymore!
Dong Yue fiercely wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said stubbornly: "Cry, cry, cry! Who is crying!"

Wen Chu didn't dare to continue talking. She said, "Okay, okay, if you say you won't cry, then you won't cry."

After saying this, he walked away with his head lowered.

Dong Yue was even angrier after hearing what she said. Why did she make him sound like a dead duck? He just realized what was going on and was about to get angry, but he saw that she had already walked away.

He gritted his teeth and followed.

There was a carriage prepared at the back door of the Song Mansion. Wen Chu got on the carriage and followed the people out.

The Dali Temple was not far from Song. She didn't dare to do anything because Dongyue was watching her. Besides, she had just made him cry. He must be wishing someone would pull his pigtails.

After a while she arrived at the gate of Dali Temple.

There was a fresh and upright atmosphere in front of the Dali Temple. There was a huge plaque in front of the gate, with the three characters "Dali Temple" engraved on it. Because today was a holiday, there were few people in front of the gate. Dongyue showed Song Yusheng's name to the doorman, and the doorman saw it and quickly took the person inside.

The further they walked inside, the more they found that the main decorations here were wood carvings and stone carvings, which were more cold and solemn than other places. The doorman led the two of them around several corners, passed two or three gates, and finally arrived at the courtyard where the Dali Temple's wing rooms were located.

The doorman brought the man to the back and said, "Brother guard, this is our master's room."

After saying that, he left.

Each Dali Temple Chief has his own office, and the entire courtyard is where Song Yusheng's office is. Wen Chu and Dong Yue entered the courtyard one after the other. After entering the courtyard, Wen Chu seemed to hear some sound.

She didn't take it seriously at first, but when she walked into the door of the wing room, she heard two people arguing in the room.

One of them was Song Yusheng, whom she naturally recognized. The other one also sounded familiar, and she quickly remembered that it was Song Yusheng's father, Duke Song Lin.

She listened to Song Lin and said, "He is your cousin after all. You are all members of the Song family. You see each other every day. Why did you have to do it so drastically? Didn't you listen to a word your grandmother said that day?!"

Inside the room, Song Yusheng did not even raise his head, sitting on a chair looking at the pile of documents. He had just taken office and had a lot of official business to deal with. When he heard Song Lin's words, he just said: "I did it thoroughly? Is that enough? If he didn't make any mistakes, could anyone find fault with him? When he wanted to kill me, why didn't you say that he did it thoroughly? If I hadn't been rescued by someone, do you think I would still be sitting here now? He wanted to kill me, and I just found out the mistakes he made. Isn't that soft-hearted enough?"

Song Lin was at home when he heard that something had happened to Song Yuyuan, saying that he had committed some dereliction of duty and was arrested by the people in the Censorate. Song Lin immediately thought of what Song Yusheng said the day he came back, and was afraid that he had really done something to his relatives, so he hurried to the Dali Temple. After hearing what Song Yusheng said, it seemed to be true.

Song Yusheng raised his eyes and glanced at Song Lin, saying, "He was only demoted at most. I didn't kill him because of his surname Song. You actually said that I was not merciful enough. You really make me sad, father."

Song Yusheng seemed to be laughing when he said this, but Song Lin was frightened by this laugh and could not help but take a few steps back. He frowned and pointed at Song Yusheng and said, "You follow the teachings of Confucius and Mencius and act like a gentleman, how could you do such a thing!"

Song Yusheng is a dignified young man praised by the world and a young man who brings honor to the Song family.

This is not something a gentleman would do, and it is certainly not something Song Yusheng should do!

When Song Yusheng heard him say this, his hands shook uncontrollably, and the ink smudged onto the document. He looked at the dark ink, sighed softly, and finally put down his pen and looked up at him.

"Father, why don't you understand? It's because I want to do things like this that I want to act like a gentleman. The people's support and the rise and fall of good governance are nothing more than the fact that those who are in the right way will have many supporters, while those who are in the wrong way will have few supporters. It doesn't matter. In order to get what I want, I can always be a gentleman."

"But please understand, father, that I am a gentleman in order to get what I want."

Wen Chu was so confused by these words outside that she was overwhelmed. Reason told her that she shouldn't listen to it any more, but her feet felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't move even a little.

Song Lin said, "You are such a person? You are such a person?! Have you read all those sage books in the past ten years? Why are you like this?!"

Song Yusheng seemed very puzzled, his tone full of confusion. He asked, "May I ask what kind of person is father?"

"A person who does not observe moral conduct and does not abide by the clan rules!"

"I don't observe moral conduct and don't abide by the clan rules." Song Yusheng repeated Song Lin's words, then laughed and continued, "Of the 300 family rules of the Song family, I am the only one who can recite them by heart. Why does my father say that I don't abide by the clan rules? Isn't what I am today what my father wants? I am the top scholar in the top 20, the chief judge of the Dali Temple in the top 22, and even the title of the first son of the clan. Isn't that enough?"

"You want both. Father, you can't be so greedy."

Song Yusheng's words made Song Lin extremely angry. He said, "How could your grandfather's 30 lashes have made you like this? You still have the dignity to kneel in front of your grandfather's tablet, but how can you face the ancestors of the Song family?"

"My father forced me to this point. I have become what he wanted me to be. Why are you afraid of me? How can you face your grandfather?" He snorted softly, "The Taifu died unjustly and the Wen family was wiped out. Do you have a clear conscience?"

Wen Chu had some impression of the death of the Grand Tutor.

The Grand Tutor mentioned by Song Yusheng was named Wen Lilian. He taught Emperor Linghui in Wenhua Hall with Prime Minister Song, and could be considered as Emperor Linghui's teacher. Wen Chu had never seen this Prime Minister, because he had died before she was born, apparently due to corruption and bribery. When the Grand Tutor made such a mistake, the Wen family also suffered. The men who deserved to be exiled were exiled, and those who deserved to die were also killed, while half of the women were sent to the Jiaofang Division, and half died on the way to exile.

The reason why Wen Chu knew this tutor was because of her father, Emperor Linghui.

Emperor Linghui seemed to be unable to accept the death of his teacher. If someone mentioned Master Wen, or if he thought of him himself, he would always cover his face and cry.

Wen Chu alone had run into this at least three times.

Song Yusheng asked Song Lin if they had a clear conscience regarding the death of the Grand Tutor. Could this matter be related to the Song family?
Could it be that Song Yusheng's thirty lashes were also related to this matter?
This shouldn't be the case. When the Grand Tutor died, Song Yusheng was probably just a child, a fool who couldn't even speak.

Inside the room, Song Lin looked at him in disbelief, "What do you know? How did you know that?!"

Song Yusheng found him a little amused. He had a smile that couldn't be more appropriate, just like how he had appeared in front of the world over the years. He said, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself."

Song Yusheng only said this one sentence. As for what he knew and how he knew it, he did not answer.

Song Lin was extremely panicked, but Song Yusheng still said calmly: "Father should know what kind of person I am, but whether I am a blessing or misfortune for the Song family is entirely up to you."

Song Yusheng actually really hoped that he could expose him. It would be best if he could tell the world that he was a Jade-faced Rakshasa, a beast in human form, who had no regard for ethics and was a vicious person who attacked his own relatives.

But Song Yusheng knew exactly what Song Lin would choose. He would pretend that nothing had happened, that he was still the same Song Yusheng with the clear wind and bright moon, and that he had never been here today.

Sure enough, he heard Song Lin say: "I don't know what happened today, you should take care of yourself in the future."

Song Yusheng sneered, not bothering to look at him again, and lowered his head to look at the documents on the table again.

Seeing him like this, Song Lin knew that there was nothing more to talk about between the two of them, so he turned away and walked out.

Wen Chu, who was outside the house, came back to her senses when she heard no sound from inside. She really couldn't listen to what the two of them were talking about. Now that she had heard everything, she might be killed to silence her!

Wen Chu felt a little calmer when he thought that Dong Yue was still by his side and that there was someone with her. However, when he turned around, there was no one behind him. Wen Chu was so engrossed in listening that he had no idea when Dong Yue disappeared.

She changed her mind and thought that she must have made him cry in front of Yuhui Hall just now, so he deliberately ran away without calling her!

Wen Chu cursed the petty Dong Yue inwardly and wanted to leave.

However, it was already too late.

She heard the sound of a door opening behind her, followed by an angry shout.

"stop!"
