I fought back after reselling my engagement

Su Shen announced that he would open the gates of Wenhua Manor to all scholars and students in the world in March of the following year to accept disciples. His disciples were all between forty and sixty years old, and Su Shao's disciples were between sixteen and thirty years old. Anyone with a talent for Confucianism could sign up for the examination.

Wenhua Manor entered into a vigorous construction, and was divided into four halls: Shuxiu Hall, Huaxiu Hall, Nongxiu Hall, and Qinxiu Hall. Each hall had its own place for teaching, and a dormitory for students was built behind each hall.

The Nongxiu Hall was built at the foot of the back mountain to facilitate the study of farming.

After selecting the sites for the four halls, Su Jingzhai invited an eminent monk to look at the feng shui and to confirm again that they were correct before he asked craftsmen to start construction. All the stones and wood were cut down from the back mountain, which was quite convenient. Friends of Su Jingzhai and his son and former comrades recommended famous craftsmen and artisans, and Confucian scholars from Yueyang Prefecture volunteered to come and help, so the construction went very quickly.

When Su Zhen was about to leave, he changed his mind because Luo Hongdou asked to see Su Jingzhai.

Luo Hongdou accepted three disciples, two of whom were girls rescued from Paihuazi. No one claimed them. In fact, the two girls' families were wealthy families. They felt that their daughters had been missing for several months and that their reputations must have been slandered, so they just said that their daughters had died of illness.

Luo Hongdou saved a person, but no one claimed him, so he simply took the person's surname Luo and gave him another name, and took the person as an apprentice. The eldest disciple was a boy who was found among a group of beggars. He had strong muscles and bones, and was a good material for practicing martial arts.

Luo Hongdou and Su Jingzhai and his son exchanged greetings.

Su Shao said: "How has Xiao Luo been these years?"

"Xiao Luo is very good. I am here to visit you today for two reasons. First, my third disciple Luo Lanxiang has been seen by the nun of the Princess Temple. She said she has three spiritual roots. I don't want her to go to waste, but the Princess Temple is unwilling to accept her as a disciple. I think this child is good at playing the zither, so I want to ask the old man, if Wenhua Manor opens its doors to accept disciples next March, can she give it a try?"

Su Shao said: "We will only accept disciples who are over ten years old and under forty years old this time."

"It makes sense to let Lanxiang work as a handyman in the mansion. This child is very well-behaved and sensible, but she is not cut out for martial arts training."

Su Shao looked embarrassed.

Su Jingzhai said: "When the time comes, you will send her to Qinxiu Hall to be a chores disciple."

Luo Hongdou clasped his fists and thanked him.

She had organized her words when she came. "Second thing, do you know, Old Master and Third Master, that before the fire in the manor, there was a killer hiding in a tree and shooting ten arrows in a row. This was confirmed by the princess's body at the time. She was hit by several arrows. Xiao Luo has investigated for many years and found that the killer was sent by Meteor Pavilion, and the person who hired the killer behind the scenes was Su Mo's wife, Yao."

Su Shao wanted to not believe it, but seeing Luo Hongdou's expression, he knew she didn't want to lie.

Luo Hongdou continued, “I found out the truth back then and told it to Lord Su Mo, but he chose to remain silent for the sake of his children and family.

When faced with Lord Su Mo's questioning, Yao did not deny it, but only said that she was distracted for a moment.

Recently, I have seen her interacting frequently with the Third Madam, the First Young Master's wife, the Second Young Master's wife, and the Third Young Master's wife. For a woman with such deep scheming, the Old Master and the Third Master are not afraid that she will plot against the Su family again."

Killing someone else's family and then pretending nothing happened and walking around and interacting with others shows that one is very scheming.

Luo Hongdou felt that Yao was scary. She could not sleep peacefully with such a big thing on her mind.

"The Yao family paid 200,000 silver coins to hire a killer from Meteor Pavilion. The deadline was three years, and the princess was dead. This is the information I asked my friends in the martial arts world to find from Meteor Pavilion. The old master and the third master have reviewed it."

What she handed over were a few pages of paper with a logbook of Meteor Pavilion on them. It recorded that the wife of Jiangnan Governor Yao had made an appointment with a gangster killer. Before the meeting, she paid a deposit of five thousand taels of silver and agreed to meet again in half a month. However, when they met, something happened to the Yao family, and it was Yao Yun who met the visitor. It was agreed that the deposit was ninety-five thousand taels of silver and the deadline was three years. Princess Jiaxing had to die as miserably as possible.

The remaining balance of 100,000 taels of silver was paid three days after Princess Jiaxing's death. The recipient was a killer from Meteor Pavilion. The other party issued a transaction agreement, which meant that the deal was complete.

Luo Hongdou said: "The current Lord Su Mo is no longer the Su Mo of the past, and Yao's methods are even more cruel than before. Why has Lord Su Mo only had her by his side all these years? Lord Su Mo is not infatuated with her, but in order to maintain his position, Yao sent people to buy poison from the martial arts world. She has used poison to kill five women who had a crush on Lord Su Mo.

During this period, there were Meng Yiren, a disciple of the Meng family troupe in Yueyang Grand Theater, Feng Tianer, a geisha in Zuihonglou, Li Xiaoni, the younger sister of Li Dawa from Jinji Lane, Lian'er, the personal maid of Yao, and Lin Mingzhu, the cousin of Mrs. Wu, the eldest lady of the Su family in Yueyang, who came to live with her relatives. If Lord Su Mo took a second look at them, these women would be killed.

After killing someone, she was able to pretend that nothing had happened. Don't the old master and the third master think that such a woman is scary?"

Su Shao asked: "Did you tell Su Mo about this?"

"Why should I tell him? I told him that Yao hired someone to kill the princess, and he did nothing. At this point, the princess is an outsider to him, and Yao is his beloved wife. Yao is now befriending the wife and the young lady, hoping to let her son and daughter enter Wenhua Manor to become disciples. What good can such a vicious mother teach her children?

Their second son, who was very young, was gentle and kind in front of others, but moody behind their backs. So far, he has killed two maids and a servant. "

Birds of a feather flock together. Su Mo has changed a lot now, becoming cold and indifferent.

Luo Hongdou said, "In order to gain merit and get promoted, Su Mo told the civil officials in the capital the Confucian cultivation method you passed on to him. Passing on the skills is a great cause and effect. If they do evil and Wenhua Manor does not keep a close watch, Wenhua Manor will have to bear the consequences."

When Su Zhen passed on his skills to Su Jingzhai, he asked Su Jingzhai to swear an oath that his descendants and disciples, generation after generation, would be kind, loyal and righteous people with upright conduct and a righteous heart. If he passed on his skills to someone with bad intentions, he would clean up the mess himself.

Su Jingzhai glanced at Su Shao and asked, "Who taught Su Mo's martial arts...?"

Su Shao replied: "It's Su Shen!"

"Who told him to act on his own? And now Su Mo has leaked the technique to others?"

"Father, he wrote to me and asked me about this matter. I agreed. He only taught the servant the skills to build the foundation."

"Nonsense!"

If this skill were to be spread out, it would cause a lot of trouble.

Su Zhen frowned and didn't want to intervene, but something happened after all.

She entered the alchemy room and picked a magic herb from the herb garden in the space. Could it be refined into a magic pill?

There is no illusion pill in the pill recipe. She wants to refine an illusion pill. If she changes the illusion grass at the center of the main array into an illusion pill, the Heart Demon Illusion Array can be activated. She can refine an Heart Demon Illusion Array disk to help the Su family activate the illusion array and test the disciples. Only by passing the first trial can they be qualified to become Confucian disciples of Wenhua Manor.

Su Zhen returned to the snow mountain that day.

She needs to consult the classics to find a solution.
