Chapter 56 – An Equity Problem (1/2)
Chen Chang Sheng truly felt this way about the situation so he said so blatantly. Others might view this sentence as sarcastic and somewhat shameless. Pretty obviously, Mo Yu thought so, so she said with a deep voice, “Let’s talk about the engagement.”
“That’s an issue between the Dong Yu General’s Mansion and me.”
“You clearly understand that this is not reality. After all, this issue needs to be solved.”
Both of them spoke calmly, and indubitably.
Mo Yu’s voice was as cold as snow, “If there isn’t anyone that insists that you must live, then the the contract in your pocket is simply a piece of trash.”
To such a high status character like her, although there was the Pope’s signature on the engagement which was very special, she could easily make this engagement useless by killing Chen Chang Sheng. If the person is dead, the engagement obviously becomes a piece of trash.
Chen Chang Sheng looked to the depth of darkness and said, “Many people saw me entered the palace.”
Mo Yu said, “Who will care about a person like you?”
Chen Chang Sheng said, “Now that I am a student of the Tradition Academy, many people will care. These days, just because people never show up doesn’t mean they don’t exist. They are looking at the Tradition Academy, looking at me, and also looking at you.”
While speaking this sentence, Chen Chang Sheng naturally thought of the Bishop of the Department of Traditional Education.
Until now, the Bishop still have not said a word to him, but the Bishop knew where the source of change of the Tradition Academy came from.
“Killing me is a very simple thing, but at the same time it is a very troubling thing.”
He said, “You can think of ways to take Luo Luo away from me, but you have no way to take away the attention on the Tradition Academy.”
Mo Yu’s voice became a bit cold, “The fact that I want to kill you is not related to the Tradition Academy. In my eyes, those elders don’t exist.”
“Yes, the fact that you want to kill me is not related to the Tradition Academy, but unfortunately, no one knows and no one will believe.”
Chen Chang Sheng said finally, “Unless you announce the engagement between Xu You Rong and me publicly, then I think, the entire world will support the killing of me, but the problem is that doing so will generate new problems. So I really want to know, what can you do?”
After he came to the capital, especially after he entered the Tradition Academy, it seems like he did not have to be concerned about anything. Only hearing sound of wind, rain and reading books, Chen Chang Sheng lived a calm life while actually being caught up in serious matters.
Recently, Chen Chang Sheng has been studying hard in the Tradition Academy. He didn’t even walk out of the door a single step and just as Mo Yu said previously, he’s using Luo Luo’s identity to frighten the people who intended to harm him. Although Luo Luo proposed this herself, he agreed to it. Simultaneously, he’s using the Tradition Academy’s history and influence of revitalization to limit the other side of the marriage vow, Xu You Rong’s Mansion. Only this way he can ensure his own safety.
The common youngster came from the distant Xi Ning. Facing nobles in the capital and even higher status people from the royal palace, he already made all the responses he could. He could thank his status as a freshman of the Tradition Academy, the so called personality, that let him survive tonight.
“What a villain.”
Mo Yu did not hide her sarcasm and demeanor in her voice, “Unfortunately, insignificant people never saw the ocean. How can they understand what’s called magnificence? If they never took down a star, how can they understand what’s called vast? After all, you are only a summer bug that doesn’t understand what snow is.”
Suddenly, Chen Chang Sheng felt extremely uneasy. His right hand held a button in his pocket and his left hand held the handle of his short sword.
But it was too late.
He felt his mind was in a blur and his vision was impaired too.
Although it was already night and it was hard to see anything, it was clear that there was something wrong with the scenes in front of him.
An unspeakable aura entered his mind and he suddenly felt tired.
The next moment, he pull himself together and woke up.
But the view was different already. He noticed that he arrived at a random ruined garden. In front of him was a cold lake reflecting the starlight. A few trees were growing around the lake but since it was still autumn, the trees has yet to blossom.
He was shocked. How did he come to this place when just a moment ago, he was in the hallway outside of Wei Yang Palace?
What kind of technique did she use to achieve this strange effect?
No one else was in the ruined garden and the only thing that he could hear were leaves sizzling on the trees.
He turned around and saw the palace hundreds of yards away. It was still filled with light and although he couldn’t see the people, it was probably very lively.
Perhaps the southern ambassadors have arrived.
Standing in the ruined garden and staring into a lively garden amplified his loneliness.
Mo Yu’s voice was heard again, but this time it wasn’t in his heart but rather on the other side of the ruined garden and a certain position in the night, “Just observe. Tonight you just need to be an observer and then everything will be solved easily.”
Chen Chang Sheng stared into the dark night and said, “This isn’t fair.”
Mo Yu said, “Such childish words shouldn’t be said by such a cunning person like you.”
For some reason, her voice was tired.
Chen Chang Sheng said, “Such childish words shouldn’t be said by the legendary Madam Mo.”
Mo Yu believed his thought on the fairness of this event was childish.
He believed that Mo Yu’s thought was truly naive.
It wasn’t a twist of words, but rather a difference of view on this world.
Mo Yu said coldly, “Fair, or justice was never the most important thing in this world.”
Chen Chang Sheng was silent for a moment, “When the Wisdom Scholar froze to death in jail for something he never did, he probably wasn’t thinking like that.”
Wisdom Scholar, Mo Wen Shan, a great educationist and literature of Zhou Dynasty was put in jail without trial because he mocked a powerful figure of the royal court. He later was pulled out of the jail in a freezing day during the winter and died from freezing. Every male member of the Mo Family was killed and only his granddaughter survived.
Mo Yu was that grand daughter.
