C32 (2/2)

From Xiang Yun's mouth, she heard Ma Zhuang Tou say that he didn't want her to worry about Xia He and promised that she would never see him again.

These words caused Chu Yuehua to shiver, but there was no change in her expression.

With just a glance, he could tell that this wasn't a simple person. The meaning of being unable to see each other again couldn't be simpler than this. But he had Xiang Yun, this girl who didn't know anything, tell him about this matter.

No matter what, she still had to give him this favor.

Chu Yuehua smiled bitterly in her heart, as expected, no one was a simple person.

Compared to Xiang Yun, Ma Junjie was much more quiet. It was only when Chu Yuehua asked about him that he replied, rarely opening his mouth at other times.

”Do you want to take the top scholar test?” Sitting on a large rock in the middle of the field, Chu Yuehua tilted her head and asked him.

Ma Junjie turned to look at her, his eyes shining with clarity. ”En!”

”Why?”

”Learning is the best,” Ma said flatly. ”This is the common pursuit of all the scholars in the world.”

”You like studying?” Chu Yuehua was a bit surprised, because whether it was in her previous life or this life, she seemed to have never met a person who really liked studying. This Ma Junjie was a bit different.

”Don't you like it?” Who would have thought that he would actually retort with a question?

This caught Chu Yuehua off guard.

The rest was something she had learned by flipping through a few pages in her spare time.

Ma Junjie's question stunned her for a moment. When it came to liking someone, there really wasn't anything that she liked.

”Although she's a girl, it's still better to read some books, just like Aunt RuoChu.”

As he spoke of this person, Ma Junjie's face held a hint of adoration.

Chu Yuehua was secretly surprised. If it was Aunty Chu, why did this name sound so familiar?

Now that he thought about it, RuoChu's aunt was a very famous existence in the entire Yan Kingdom. The reason for this was that her knowledge had once been praised by the late emperor himself.

Furthermore, many of the princesses had once taken her as their master, and most of the imperial concubines had befriended her because she was only a mister in front of the emperor. Those who talked to her heard that she had already left the palace when the current emperor, Yan Shao, ascended to the throne.

There had always been rumors that she lived in seclusion in the countryside, but no one knew where it was.

Which rich family in the capital didn't want to invite her to be their female teacher? If a girl had the title of 'Aunt's disciple' before leaving the pavilion, then her status would instantly change and the person who proposed marriage would have stepped on the threshold.

Could it be that Ma Junjie was talking about that Ruo Chu?
