Happy Spring Every Year

The teacher and Miss Shen's maid were both there, so it wasn't considered a violation of the rules.

Jiang Xun thought so and extended his hand to Shen Jiasui, "Ms. Shen, please sit down."

Shen Jiasui sat down as he was told, but his eyes were fixed on the long table in front of him, not daring to look into Jiang Xun's eyes.

She knew in her heart that Jiang Xun must have guessed that she had just been peeping from the window, and was feeling very guilty at the moment.

Jiang Xun saw Shen Jiasui lowering his head and seemed very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but frown.

Just now, he saw Miss Shen looking embarrassed from afar. The teacher was probably talking nonsense again.

"Shen——"

"River--"

The two of them spoke at the same time and stopped talking at the same time.

"Feel sorry--"

"I'm sorry—"

Shen Jiasui decided to remain silent, and Jiang Xun opposite him obviously had the same idea, so the pavilion was silent for a long time.

Two people: "..."

In the end, it was Shen Jiasui who lost his temper first. He looked up at Jiang Xun and said, "As the ancients said, do not look at anything that is not proper. Today, I have overstepped the bounds and been disrespectful. I hereby apologize to Lord Jiang."

When saying this, Shen Jiasui couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xun's cheek, and could still see some swelling.

Jiang Xun didn't avoid Shen Jiasui's gaze and apologized, "Teacher is naturally free and easy. If my words were rude just now, I didn't mean any harm. Please don't blame me, Miss Shen."

The two of them were polite to each other, you apologized and I apologized.

Mr. Lin, who pricked up his ears, said: "......"

Shen Jiasui immediately shook his head upon hearing this. Only then did Jiang Xun get straight to the point, "That day at Prince Rong's mansion, Miss Shen reminded me to be careful of the people around me. Now it seems that she was referring to my mother?"

Shen Jiasui was speechless for a moment.

The direction of her behavior was obvious, but she didn't know how to explain it to Jiang Xun.

Fortunately, she was a person who could turn the tables. Since Jiang Xun did not blame her for peeping, she also asked openly:

"Master Jiang, I just caught a glimpse of the memorial tablet in the hall, and it seems to have your name on it."

Jiang Xun didn't deny it, but he did raise a question, "Ms. Shen, in what circumstances do you think a person's personality would change drastically, becoming like two completely different people?"

Shen Jiasui's expression froze when he heard this, and he knew that Jiang Xun was talking about the time when he suddenly became intelligent when he was ten years old.

She said matter-of-factly: "Maybe there is a sudden change, or a serious illness, or..."

Or like her, she died once and lived again.

But she couldn't say the second half of the sentence no matter what.

Jiang Xun did not ask about Shen Jiasui's unfinished words, but said very frankly:

"My mother couldn't accept my change and thought 'I'—died when I was ten."

Shen Jiasui's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, and he couldn't help but look up at Jiang Xun.

In the past, Shen Jiasui never believed in ghosts and gods. If gods really existed in the world, how could he watch his entire Shen family die in hatred?

But now, she had no choice but to believe it.

She couldn't help but wonder, was the Jiang Xun in front of her really the original "Jiang Xun"?

Jiang Xun seemed not to notice Shen Jiasui's reaction and continued calmly, "Mother once tried to find the 'me' of the past."

"But after a few years, she lost hope and erected a memorial tablet for me in the Reception Hall of the Jokhang Temple, and she often came to accompany me."

After hearing this, Shen Jiasui finally found the key.

If Lady Anyang was deceived by someone who claimed that she could use magic to find the former "Jiang Xun", she would definitely give it a try.

If someone with ulterior motives took advantage of this situation and turned the situation from seeking harm to harming others, it would be easy.

So that's how it is. No wonder the wife of the Earl of Anyang died in this witchcraft case.

Then...were those servants who also died in the fire innocently implicated, or were they accomplices arranged by the person behind the scenes?

"It seems that Miss Shen has already made up her mind."

Jiang Xun spoke again, as a final test.

Seeing that Jiang Xun had spoken so frankly, Shen Jiasui no longer denied it and responded with silence.

"I see......"

Jiang Xun sighed softly, and sadness seemed to be revealed in his words.

Shen Jiasui opened his mouth, but couldn't help asking, "Master Jiang, what do you think?"

At this moment, Jiang Xun turned his head and glanced towards the Jieying Hall from afar, his brows tightly furrowed, as if he was in a state of helplessness.

After a long while, he said, "Let's use their own tactics against them."

Shen Jiasui nodded secretly when she heard this. This was the best solution she could think of.

At this time, Jiang Xun spoke again, but his words were addressed to Shen Jiasui.

"Ms. Shen, there are many things in this world that are difficult to express. I know you have something to hide, so I won't ask."

"But, Miss Shen, please be extremely cautious and take every step carefully. Perhaps that person is right next to us."

When Shen Jiasui heard these meaningful words, he felt a chill down his spine and all over his body.

Obviously Jiang Xun also realized that the person who framed the Crown Princess and the Third Prince in Prince Rong's Mansion was most likely the same person who was planning to frame the Lady of the Marquis of Anyang.

"Master Jiang, who is the 'that person' you are talking about?"

Shen Jiasui clenched his hands under the table and tried his best to make his voice sound calm.

Jiang Xun shook his head.

Seeing this, Shen Jiasui lowered his eyes and took a deep breath.

No matter how well she concealed it, Jiang Xun could still see her nervousness and concern from the corners of her slightly pursed lips.

He was still unsure about the secret of Shen Jiasui.

But whether it was that she guessed in advance that the Crown Princess was in trouble at Prince Rong's Mansion, or that she appeared at the Jokhang Temple today, it showed that she... had foresight.

She seemed to be trying hard to stay ahead of "that person".

There was a moment of silence in the pavilion. At this time, Jiang Xun took the initiative to speak: "It is not suitable to stay here for long. Miss Shen, please go back."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiasui asked, "Master Jiang, may I ask which distinguished guests are here today?"

Jiang Xun hesitated for a moment.

Shen Jiasui knew something was wrong when he saw this, and was about to wave his hand when he heard Jiang Xun say softly:

"Crown Princess, Grandson of the Emperor, His Royal Highness Prince Rui and his wife, His Royal Highness Prince Xiang and his wife, Prince Rong and his wife, and all the palace maids and eunuchs."

Shen Jiasui went over these people in his mind and stood up to say goodbye.

Jiang Xun also stood up and walked her out of the pavilion.

At this moment, Shen Jiasui suddenly thought of something and turned around and said, "Master Jiang, Lu Yunzheng was also at the Jokhang Temple today. He followed Gu Xizhi into the Zunrong Treasure Temple."

Jiang Xun frowned slightly when he heard this.

Lu Yunzheng is also here...

Having said this, Shen Jiasui hurried away with Baiji.

Elder Lin waited until Shen Jiasui was far away before returning to Jiang Xun's side and asked with a smile, "How is it?"

Jiang Xun tilted his head and saw his teacher's cynical look, feeling helpless.

"Teacher, please don't talk nonsense in front of others."

When Elder Lin heard this, he was not happy. "What nonsense! Prince Rong came to me specifically to try to match you with Miss Shen. Am I not asking Miss Shen's opinion on your behalf?"

Jiang Xun's expression changed when he heard this. He became furious and said coldly, "No!"

Seeing that his disciple seemed to be really angry, Elder Lin frowned, "Xiuzhi, you..."

"Teacher, don't mention this matter again."

When he said this, Jiang Xun had already turned around and walked towards the Zunrong Treasure Temple.

Lin Lao took a step forward and was about to retort when he heard Jiang Xun's low voice:

"Teacher, how can someone like me start a family?"

Old Lin's raised hand suddenly stopped. Seeing Jiang Xun walking away without looking back, he couldn't help but slap his thigh in anger.

"Stubborn!"
