Chapter 743: Chapter 743: A Sincere Heart Fed to a Dog
“Yes, I had a relationship of both teacher and friend with the dean when I was at Spring Autumn Academy.” Wenren Zong explained, “To be precise, the dean and your father Uncle are peers, you should call him Lin Teacher Uncle.”
Jiang Ning couldn’t help but laugh.
Indeed, that’s one way to put it, but it’s another matter whether it should be put that way at all.
“The dean is knowledgeable and well-inford in astronomy and geography. He is the most talented person I have ever seen in my life,” Wenren Zong unabashedly praised and admired Lin Shimo in his words, “If the Princess Consort could get acquainted with the dean, she would surely be impressed by his deanor.”
“I believe so. After all, he is the dean of the renowned Spring Autumn Academy. Without so capability, he naturally wouldn’t be able to gain everyone’s respect.”
“The Princess Consort still has such an interesting way of speaking.”
“Thirteen, are you planning to help Prince of Zhao this ti when you co back?” Jiang Ning asked candidly.
Old acquaintances shouldn’t beat around the bush, it’s exhausting.
Wenren Zong smiled faintly: “Did I ever have a choice?”
“Why can’t you choose? Did Prince of Zhao threaten you with Aunt Xiang and your sisters?” The Aunt Xiang she ntioned was Wenren Zong’s mother.
Wenren Zong hurriedly said: “Princess Consort, you misunderstood. Prince of Zhao has never threatened . Actually, I was… I had no choice.”
“Oh? Why?”
“Maybe I’m destined to be powerless in this life,” Wenren Zong sighed.
“You were helpless when you followed the Prince of Huai in rebellion, I don’t bla you for that. But what about this ti? You’re going to help Prince of Zhao again. Do you know what his identity is?” Jiang Ning’s voice gradually beca serious.
Wenren Zong nodded: “I know.”
“You know, and yet…”
“Once,” Wenren Zong interrupted her, “I thought I would spend my whole life in endless tornt and suffering, never able to return to Chang’an, unable to see my family even once. But Prince of Zhao gave a chance and saved from misery. Princess Consort, what would you choose if you were in my shoes?”
“He saved , I am grateful, but it doesn’t an I have to follow him everywhere.” Jiang Ning said coldly, “Wenren Zong, you’re not young anymore. Can’t you have so ability to discern right from wrong?”
“Discern right from wrong? Who’s right and who’s wrong?” Wenren Zong smiled, “With all due disrespect, how did the Crown Prince get his position as Crown Prince? Doesn’t Prince of Zhao have the qualifications to compete? There is no right or wrong, only victory or defeat.”
Jiang Ning said: “You’re right. Since you have to choose, why not choose soone with a better chance of winning?”
“Prince of Zhao is not without a chance of winning…”
“Why can’t you choose ?” Jiang Ning couldn’t stand it any more, “Last ti we were enemies, do we have to stand opposite each other this ti? Do you think that I will always be so lenient, sparing no effort to let you and your whole family go?”
Her voice grew louder, attracting the attention of those in the front.
Wenren Zong whispered: “Princess Consort, please calm down.”
Jiang Ning said: “You better give up the dark and turn to the light as soon as possible.”
Wenren Zong remained silent with a bitter smile.
“Forget it, you’re beyond teaching. I won’t waste my breath anymore.” Although Jiang Ning’s tone was light, she was genuinely a bit annoyed in her heart.
She didn’t want to talk to him any longer and quickened her pace to walk ahead.
Wenren Zong, however, weakly called out to her: “Princess Consort, there’s one more thing… ”
“Say.”
“Thank you for taking care of my family these past two years.”
“No need to thank , just think of it as feeding a dog with my sincerity.” Jiang Ning waved her hand and caught up with her Jiang Family siblings.
