Little Niu nodded. That was true.
“Brother Niu, you know how to read fortunes. Tell me, can Third Sister and Brother-in-law grow old together?”
Su Kuo thought of Su Xiaoling and Zhou Heng and lowered his voice.
Su Kuo was a little worried. If Su Xiaoling was not Su Xiaolu’s family, he would not be interested to know.
The Su family was the root of Su Xiaolu’s mortal world. Su Xiaoling, Su Chong, and Su Hua were her real brothers. They had deep feelings for each other. No matter which one of them did not lead a good life, Su Xiaolu would care and worry about them.
Seeing Su Kuo’s serious expression, Little Niu smiled and said, “Little Kuo, they’re all people with good fate. I can see through it but I can’t expose it. I can’t tell you. However, if you want to learn, I can teach you. You can see for yourself when the time comes.”
Su Kuo looked worried. He had one more thing to learn.
He was puzzled. Why had his ancestors never thought of learning fortune telling?
This way, when he interacted with others, he could make a decision through reading their fortune.
Su Kuo was interested, so he decided to learn more from Little Niu.
Su Xiaolu slept soundly. Madam Zhao came to her room with hot chicken soup.
Su Xiaolu was feeling hungry, so she ate.
Madam Zhao watched quietly as Su Xiaolu finished eating.
After Su Xiaolu finished eating, Madam Zhao asked, “Xiaolu, is Xiaoling alright?”
Su Xiaolu looked at Madam Zhao. Su Xiaolu told Madam Zhao about what had happened in the past few days and did not hide anything.
Madam Zhao listened quietly and sighed. She could imagine how much pressure Su Xiaoling would feel later.
Su Xiaolu could not help but lean against Madam Zhao. “Mother, if Third
Brother compromises and has more people around him, what will you do?”
Madam Zhao sighed. “Xiaolu, as a mother, of course I don’t want Heng’s heart to be divided into many parts, but I also understand that even if he can’t keep his promise in the end, I won’t blame him.”
Back then, when Zhou Heng asked to marry Su Xiaoling, he made a promise.
But now, after everything he’d been through, he’d done his best.
Madam Zhao believed that if Zhou Heng was not in a high position, he would definitely be able to do what he had promised.
It was impossible to guard against Sindili, but without Sindili, there would be others. One could only be a thief for a thousand days. How could one guard against a thief for a thousand days? It was too difficult for Zhou Heng to have peace.
Not to mention Zhou Heng, even Su Sanlang would encounter some dirty things.
“Mother is just worried about your sister. It doesn’t matter if one is muddle-headed. I’m just afraid that sober people can’t do anything muddle-headed.”
Madam Zhao thought of Su Xiaoling and sighed in her heart. Her daughter had been sensible since she was young and had suffered so much.
She understood everything. However, it was precisely because she understood too much that she was tortured by love.
Madam Zhao’s heart ached just thinking about it.
Now that she and Su Sanlang were free, the couple could have a good life together.
They were outsiders and had almost gotten dirty a few times, let alone people in the court.
“Xiaolu, mother knows that you’re calm. These things are tangled like a net.
You must be frustrated.”
Madam Zhao looked at Su Xiaolu gently and patted her hand gently. Her youngest daughter was already an adult. Madam Zhao knew that Su Xiaolu seemed to be indifferent to relationships.
Su Xiaolu nodded. She did find relationships troublesome.
Madam Zhao gently stroked Su Xiaolu’s cheek and said with a gentle and firm gaze, “Xiaolu, I know that relationships are difficult, but I can’t deny that there is more warmth and sweetness in it. Xiaoling and Heng have had a difficult journey, but after these hardships, there are also many strong feelings. The two of them walking hand in hand have many beautiful memories.”
“It’s the same for Father and Mother. In my memories, there are many heartaches, but there are also many, many beautiful memories. Even in the first ten difficult years, there were many sweet memories between Father and Mother. Mother will always remember them. Your father would also act like a child, pick some wild fruits and hide them. He would secretly bring them for me to eat at night.”
Many of the pain in those memories was still unforgettable, but they were closely followed by the care without impurities.
“I won’t force you to get married, but if you meet someone you like, don’t reject it. Don’t worry that you won’t be able to deal with those complicated difficulties and take a step back. Even if you work hard, you might not have a good outcome, but if you don’t work hard, it will be a regret for the rest of your life. Although your sister is troubled now, if you ask her if she regrets it in the future, she will definitely say that she doesn’t.”
Madam Zhao smiled. She knew her daughter too well.
Su Xiaolu was stunned. She looked at Madam Zhao in confusion. “Even if you know that there will be a lot of hardship, won’t you regret it?”
Madam Zhao shook her head firmly. “No regrets.”
Su Xiaolu did not understand love, but at this moment, she seemed to be enlightened.
She also had a different opinion of love.
“Rest well. Mother will leave first.”
Madam Zhao stroked Su Xiaolu’s hair and stood up. She came to ask because she wanted to know what was going on. After knowing, she was still worried, but she felt much more at ease.
After Madam Zhao left, Su Xiaolu entered the Space. She picked up the seed that Zhou Zhi had given her and looked at it for a long time.
She asked herself seriously, did she like Zhou Zhi?
She wasn’t sure. Maybe she didn’t like him much, but she definitely liked him.
What about Zhou Zhi’s treatment of her?
Su Xiaolu felt that Zhou Zhi should be the same as her.
None of them knew what the future held. They could only let nature take its course.
Sindili’s incident caused a sensation in the capital.
After discussing for a long time, as Sindili left the capital and returned to the Li Dynasty, the voices slowly faded.
Everything returned to normal.
Su Xiaolu taught the children at home every day.
Qi Xingfeng and Qi Xingzhi’s children would also come over to learn.
When the heat passed and the cool autumn days passed, it was beginner winter. The royal family’s Mystic Sect began to recruit disciples.
Inside, not only were there mythical techniques, there were also scholars teaching knowledge.
This was a huge Mystic Sect called Guiyuan Academy.
In just a month, there were already more than a thousand disciples.
Every skill had its own sect. Under Su Xiaolu’s suggestion, they were divided into six classes every day. Each class was about two and a half hours. Apart from the inner sect disciples who were accepted separately, the other disciples could also choose to listen to lectures. However, how much they could comprehend depended on their own understanding.
Su Xiaolu joined the school. She taught medicine and the way of the sword.
Little Niu taught astrology.
Su Kuo was considered a special class. There was only one class every seven days because he also had to be a student.
The disciples changed their clothes according to their ranks. In the beginning, everyone was the same. They were all dressed in white.
If they began to understand, as they gradually improved, they would change into green, blue, purple, red, black, and gold. The change in their clothes would appear at the belt or collar of their clothes to let the disciples of the sect distinguish their identity.
As a teacher, Su Xiaolu chose a black robe. She did not deliberately hide that she was a woman and dressed like a man..
