I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

Xu Congyi was so absorbed in listening to him, this was a figure worthy of being written into history books, that she could not help but lean forward slightly. Grand Tutor Tang's speech was not long, but she had been so focused just now that she had maintained the same posture for too long, so she moved her body slightly to relax her tense neck. Just as she was gently turning her neck, she suddenly heard Grand Tutor Tang say:

"I am Tang Yang, and I look forward to meeting you all at the palace selection."

This sentence exploded in Xu Congyi's ears like a bolt from the blue, and she was immediately stunned. Tang Yang? Master Tang is Tang Yang? She remembered the words she heard in front of Tang Wenhao's door that day, the name that Tang Wenhao had mentioned, the person who was inextricably linked to the death of Shen Xiao's parents.

Xu Congyi's heart was filled with mixed emotions, which were the anxiety and uneasiness about the potential truth. She looked at Master Tang in disbelief. That majestic face became so unfamiliar in her eyes at this moment. He was the murderer who killed Shen Xiao's parents? This thought was like a poisonous snake circling in her heart, making her feel cold.

Xu Congyi felt her heartbeat speeding up, her hands unconsciously clenched, her nails deeply embedded in her flesh, recalling Shen Xiao's complex expression and reaction just now, Xu Congyi finally understood the reason. She suddenly realized that if she had witnessed the tragic death of her parents with her own eyes, and then saw that the murderer had transformed himself into a widely loved official in the court, how painful and difficult it would be to accept.

But she couldn't and didn't dare to show such emotions. Xu Congyi knew very well that she was now "unaware" of Shen Xiao's secret, so she had to hide her emotions and not reveal any flaws.

However, she herself did not realize that after the speech, the whole school was instantly filled with a warm atmosphere. The other students stood up one after another, their faces filled with excitement and excitement after seeing Master Tang in person. They gathered around Master Tang, or in groups of three or five to share their experiences. Only the three of them sat on the chairs, as if they had formed an independent little world, immersed in their own thoughts.

Shen Xiao was the first to break free from his thoughts. He turned his head to look at Xu Congyi, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.

"Brother Wenhao, why don't you come forward?" A student who was usually close to Tang Wenhao called him from a distance.

Tang Wenhao and Xu Congyi finally came to their senses. Tang Wenhao quickly stood up and walked forward to exchange a few words with the student, then left with Xu Congyi and Shen Xiao.

"Miss Xu, what do you think of meeting Grand Tutor Tang?" Tang Wenhao took the initiative to start the conversation.

Xu Congyi pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Well...Grand Tutor Tang is very majestic, and his words and deeds reveal an extraordinary temperament." This is indeed her impression of Grand Tutor Tang. If it were not for the fact that this man might be the murderer of Shen Xiao's parents, Xu Congyi would have been conquered by his personal charm.

"Now that I have met Grand Tutor Tang, I have fulfilled one of my wishes." Xu Congyi smiled slightly, then said, "I'll go home first!" She was afraid that if she stayed any longer she would be exposed.

"Okay, then I'll let Xiaowu take you there." Tang Wenhao said, and ordered the servant beside him to prepare the carriage. Xu Congyi didn't hesitate to accept Tang Wenhao's kindness. After saying goodbye to the two of them, she got on the carriage and left.

The carriage slowly drove towards home, the wheels rolling on the familiar dirt road, making a steady sound. Xu Congyi leaned against the soft cushion in the carriage, looking at the gradually blurry scenery outside the window, and sighed with relief. All the worries and tensions seemed to dissipate into the air with that breath at this moment.

As the carriage moved further away, Shen Xiao and Tang Wenhao also walked into the room on the second floor. They closed the door, and Tang Wenhao walked to his own armchair and sat down, while Shen Xiao sat opposite him. Their eyes met in the air, both with an indescribable depth.

In the room, the air seemed to freeze, and it was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard. Tang Wenhao's eyes were fixed on Shen Xiao's face.

"Shen Xiao, are you sure?"

Shen Xiao did not answer immediately, but lowered his head slightly. After a while, he nodded slowly: "Yeah."

Tang Wenhao didn't say anything else, just looked at Shen Xiao in silence, as if he wanted to find more answers from his eyes. The two of them sat like this, and a heavy and depressing atmosphere filled the room, as if time had stopped at this moment.

After a long time, Shen Xiao broke the silence: "Wen Hao, I didn't mean to embarrass you."

Tang Wenhao felt very upset. Before Shen Xiao told him about his life experience, Master Tang was as big as the sun to him. He was not only the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, but also an elder who cared about the country's education and was deeply loved by the people. Master Tang often gave classes in the school in the capital, and he also attended the classes when he was in the capital. Master Tang's majesty, wisdom, and his contributions to the country and the people were deeply imprinted in Tang Wenhao's heart. He was even proud of their same surname. In his heart, Master Tang was not only an awe-inspiring elder, but also a beacon in his heart.

However, now everything has become so vague and uncertain. Shen Xiao's words were like a sharp knife, ruthlessly cutting through the protective film in his heart. He could not accept this fact, and he could not imagine that the elder he had always admired would do such a heinous thing.

In fact, he had known in his heart that this was true. Before today, Tang Wenhao had used many connections to find out some of the inside stories of the past. He had thought that perhaps Han, the Prime Minister, had committed treason and committed suicide, but Shen Xiao was too young at the time, and his belief in revenge made him lose his mind. However, as more and more of the hidden stories of the past reached his ears, he had to believe that Tang Taishi was the one who killed his classmate Han Changsi and wiped out his entire family for his own selfish desires.
