Daqin: The Greatest Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Could it be that Liu Yi really killed Li Kai and colluded with the Three Broken-haired Wolves to massacre Huoyu Villa?

This thought arose uncontrollably from her heart, and she even produced pieces of evidence to prove it.

Her heart told her that all this was true, because Liu Yi did have the motive and reason to do so.

But even if this was true, she still found it difficult to accept it in a short period of time because it was too ridiculous!

Looking at Mrs. Hu, who was distraught and dazed, Zi Nu sighed softly, knowing that this matter was almost certain.

"Mother!" Nanyue supported the staggering Mrs. Hu and called her softly with concern in her eyes.

If she felt disgust towards Liu Yi before, now she felt anger and hatred. If she had the chance, she thought she would definitely kill Liu Yi.

"Brother Su Xuan." Nong Yu glanced at Mrs. Hu in her arms, then turned her gaze to Su Xuan.

Her eyes were bright, full of expectation, unconditional trust, weakness and helplessness.

"Mrs. Hu is in such a bad condition now that it is not suitable for her to return to Zuo Sima Mansion for the time being. Let's place her with Lady Hu for a few days." Su Xuan said as he looked to the other side. "It won't be long before Junior Brother and Lady Hu will be here. Now let's help Mrs. Hu into the room to calm down."

"It just so happens that I brought some of Zi Lan Xuan's special calming tea, which should be able to help a little."

Chapter 58 Forgetting Worry

"Hello, Mr. Su Xuan." Not long after, Han Fei and Lady Hu knocked on the door and walked in.

Lady Hu bowed and said gratefully, "Thank you very much, sir, for helping me fulfill my long-cherished wish."

She had a charming appearance and her voice was sweet and pleasing to the ears. Su Xuan secretly smacked his lips. No wonder Honglian called Lady Hu a foxy woman.

This woman is indeed quite pretty.

"You sisters are really blood sisters." Su Xuan said with a smile.

Lady Hu looked puzzled.

"You are all equally polite."

puff!

Lady Hu covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sir, you really know how to joke."

She glanced around and finally landed on Nong Yu. "Is this my niece? She really looks like my sister."

"Nongyu greets Lady Hu." Nongyu stood up and bowed.

Lady Hu held onto Nong Yu's wrist and looked at her with a smile, "My sister and I have a bond stronger than gold. Her daughter is naturally my daughter. Yu'er, isn't it strange for you to call me Lady Hu? From now on, just call me aunt!"

Nong Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly, "Aunt."

Lady Hu nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Madam Hu and asked in confusion, "Sister, your mother and daughter getting along must be a happy event, why do you look so unhappy?"

Mrs. Hu gave a somewhat forced smile, "It is indeed worth being happy about."

Lady Hu became more and more confused. Logically speaking, her sister shouldn't behave like this. What on earth had happened?

Su Xuan was too lazy to say anything more and signaled Zi Nu with his eyes. Zi Nu rolled her eyes at him helplessly and recounted what happened that year again.

Even the cunning Lady Hu couldn't help but look unhappy after hearing the news, "How dare Liu Yi slaughter hundreds of people in my Fire Rain Villa? I must..."

She stopped talking halfway through her words. Only now did she remember that it was the Korean army that had conquered the land of Baiyue.

The current King of Han, when he was still a prince of the Kingdom of Han, was the one who planned the Han-Chu coalition's expedition against the Baiyue, and finally ascended the throne with his outstanding military achievements.

So, King Han is the culprit of all these disasters?

He had actually devoted himself to destroying his entire family of enemies for more than ten years?

This, how is this possible!

Her face turned pale and her mind was in a trance. She felt dizzy and her vision went black. She couldn't stop falling backwards.

Su Xuan supported her from behind and stopped her from falling.

Lady Hu thanked Su Xuan, then forced herself to calm down and bowed to everyone present, "Please don't tell anyone else about this. I would like to thank you all here."

Su Xuan's eyes showed admiration. Just based on this character, he deserved a glance at Lady Hu.

Han Fei had a solemn expression. Although he had heard of the war between Baiyue in the past, he had never known that there was such a secret in it.

He sighed deeply and looked at Miss Hu and Madam Hu with an apologetic look.

After receiving affirmative responses from everyone present, Lady Hu took Mrs. Hu away.

Su Xuan and his companions did not stay long and left together.

As it was getting late, Han Fei went straight back to the palace, while Su Xuan followed Zi Nu and Nong Yu back to Zi Lan Xuan.

As soon as they returned to Zi Lan Xuan, a girl came to Zi Nu to take care of some trivial matters, and Su Xuan brought Nong Yu to the elegant pavilion in the backyard.

"Miss Nanyue has been frowning, are you worried about Liu Yi?" Su Xuan yawned and looked a little tired.

"I'm not afraid of Liu Yi looking for trouble with me, but I'm afraid of my mother..." She frowned, with deep worry in her eyes, "Brother Su Xuan, do you think I'm useless and can't help my mother at all?"

"Why do you think so?" Su Xuan rubbed her head again. "Each of us has our own limits of ability and our own strengths. For example, Miss Nanyue is good at playing the zither, Brother Weizhuang is good at martial arts and military tactics, and Han Fei is good at legal strategies. If you can't solve something, don't we still have it?"

"That's what companions are for, isn't it?"

"Partner?" Nong Yu murmured softly.

"That's right." Su Xuan nodded, "Just like when I'm troubled, Miss Nanyue's music can make me happy."

"Miss Nanyue, do you think this can be considered as helping me?"

"This..." Nanyue hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

"Don't worry, no matter it is my junior brother, Brother Wei Zhuang, or I, none of them will ignore this matter." Su Xuan gently pinched her tender cheek with a gentle look in his eyes.

"Ah."

Su Xuan's words were like a reassurance pill, instantly making Nong Yu feel at ease.

"It's been a while since I last played the zither. I will play a piece for you today, Miss Nongyu."

Su Xuan slowly stood up, walked to the Yaoqin, and gently plucked the strings.

clank!

The sound of the piano is faint, the meaning is long-lasting, elegant and distant, the overtones of the piano are clear and cold, the timbre is ethereal, sometimes like human voices, sometimes like the sound of the wind.

The sound of the piano was cheerful, like the gurgling of a stream, like a light and beautiful song. Nongyu was immersed in it. She felt as if she saw the vast and boundless starry sky, heard the twinkling stars whispering and singing light songs, and the full moon on the branches was singing. She felt the freshness of reading, the sweetness of tasting tea, the leisurelyness of playing chess, and the boldness of drinking...

Her heart unconsciously became cheerful and she forgot all her worries.

When the song ended, there was still a faint smile on her lips, and all the sadness in her expression was gone.

"Brother Su Xuan, what's the name of this song?" A pair of bright eyes looked over, with unconcealable joy.

She likes this piano piece very much.

"The title of the song is "Forget Worry"," Su Xuan responded with a smile.

He yawned again, his eyelids began to droop, and he couldn't stop feeling sleepy.

Nong Yu's eyes moved, "Brother Su Xuan has been busy all day, he must be very tired, let me give him a massage to relax him."

Su Xuan was stunned, but did not refuse.

A pair of slender hands rested on his temples and kneaded them gently with just the right amount of force, making him feel comfortable all over.

He subconsciously found a place to lie down, softly, as if he was resting his head on Nanyue's thigh.

Nong Yu blushed, "Brother Su Xuan, can I play the song you just played?"

Su Xuan heard this vaguely, and he responded with a slight "hmm".

The melodious sound of the piano rang out, and Su Xuan fell asleep unknowingly.

The melodious music of the piano touches my heart.

Brother Su Xuan, I can feel your kindness in the sound of your piano.

In fact, I saw that you have been suppressing your tiredness and playing the piano for me.

Nong Yu likes the piano you play very much.

Finally, I’ll tell you a secret. Nongyu glanced at Su Xuan’s sleeping face and mustered up the courage to peck him lightly on the forehead.

Nongyu, I like you secretly.

Chapter 59 Breakfast

The next morning, after washing up, Su Xuan walked towards the Zilanxuan Restaurant with ease.

Others regard Zi Lan Xuan as a place for romantic consumption, but Su Xuan has already regarded Zi Lan Xuan as his own home.

Do you need to be polite in your own home?

Of course not.

Su Xuan thought he got up relatively early, but there were people who got up earlier than him.

Su Xuan met several girls along the way and nodded to them as a greeting.

The girl holding the palm-leaf fan is called Tan Yun. She is always the most active during every meal.

The girl holding the jade flute is called Sheyue. Every time I meet her, she greets me with a smile.

Su Xuan knew that every girl here had unique skills and could be considered a top-notch killer in the world.

And this all stems from their usual efforts.

From Zi Nu, he also learned something about their experiences.

The reason why Tan Yun was the most active in eating was that all her family members starved to death in the famine. She trained her assassination skills very hard and practiced until very late every day.

The reason why Musk Moon would smile every time she saw him was because she was practicing facial expression management to see which kind of smile was the most charming and could make people fall into her arms unknowingly and die silently.

After listening to this, Su Xuan shook his head unconsciously.

As a killer, beauty can certainly be used as a reliance to make people relax their vigilance, but in the end one must rely on one's own strength, otherwise one will be like a rootless duckweed. Even if one completes a mission once or twice by chance, one will still end up dead in the end.

In Su Xuan's opinion, it would be a good choice for them to collect some intelligence.

Being a killer? It's no different from committing suicide.

"Brother Su Xuan!"

From a distance, Su Xuan saw Nong Yu greeting him.

She looked delighted and walked up to him quickly. After she got to Su Xuan, she unconsciously put her hands behind her back, looking a little shy and nervous. She stared at Su Xuan with her autumn-water eyes, emitting an inexplicable glow. When Su Xuan looked at her, she unconsciously looked away, not daring to look at him.

"Have you eaten?" Su Xuan asked with a smile.

"Not yet..." Nong Yu replied in a low voice.

"Let's go, let's go together." Su Xuan walked in front.

"Yeah." Nanyue followed behind.

"Sir, you are in for a treat today. My Nongyu has specially prepared breakfast for you."

When Su Xuan arrived, Zi Nu was already there. When she saw him, she couldn't help but smile and joke.

"Sister Zi Nu!" Nong Yu stomped her feet.

Su Xuan looked back at her and found that her face was already red.

Nanyue put her hands behind her back, and her slender fingers unconsciously twisted together, "Didn't Brother Su Xuan say that each of us has our own strengths? I just want to help Brother Su Xuan, Sister Zi Nu...you prepare breakfast."

I also want to be able to help Brother Su Xuan.

Su Xuan understood her inner thoughts from her eyes. He was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Really? Then I'd like to taste it."

The breakfast meal is very rich, including millet porridge, flatbread, boiled eggs, osmanthus cake, rice cakes, and egg drop rice wine soup.

The table was filled with all the breakfast that Su Xuan liked to eat.

Of course, this is just the current condition. In the days of Confucianism, people were very particular about food.

The Dragon and Phoenix Cake, the Hundred Flowers Cake, the Jade Liquid Porridge, and the Pearl Jade Soup were all rare delicacies cooked by the best chefs in Qi State.

Su Xuan took a sip of the millet porridge and was a little surprised. Several nourishing ingredients were added to the porridge without destroying the taste of the porridge itself. This was rare.

He glanced at Zi Nu inconspicuously, and understood everything in his heart.
