However, when it comes to the most outstanding student…

Su Mo’s gaze fell on the Zhuangyuan Pavilion at the Imperial Academy:

“It would have to be the youngest son of the Wei family.”

The Zhuangyuan Building wasn’t originally called by that name, it was just an ordinary study pavilion. 

However, because the youngest son of the Wei family often studied inside, after he achieved the top score in the imperial examinations, the building was renamed Zhuangyuan Building in his honor.  

Even the street where he had stayed for a period before the exams became known as Zhuangyuan Street.  

What a fantastic achievement it was to be a top scholar at the age of seventeen.

At ten years old, he entered the palace as a study companion. 

Brilliant and gifted, his extraordinary talent made the imperial princes pale in comparison. 

Even though the Wei family had previously served under the Prince of Nanyang, which Emperor Jingxuan despised, the emperor sincerely cherished Wei Ting.

In the emperor’s eyes, unlike the Wei family’s stiff-necked generals, Wei Ting possessed the elegance and talent of a scholar. 

He wasn’t belligerent, devoted only to the study of the classics, such a fine seedling that deserved careful cultivation.

But no one expected the sudden calamity to befall the Wei family.

And Wei Ting, in order to save his father, brothers, and grandfather, resolutely put on his armor and joined the war.

It was only at that moment that Emperor Jingxuan realized he had misjudged him all those years.

There was no such thing as a frail, bookish Wei.

How could the Wei family possibly have any feeble scholar?  

The youngest son, Wei Ting, in fact was the one who had been concealing his strength the most. 

From then on, Emperor Jingxuan grew wary of even Wei Ting.

Su Mo said earnestly, “The Wei family has too many enemies. It may not be a good idea for you to be associated with him.”

“Was his family rescued?” Su Xiaoxiao’s concern, however, was for that.

Su Mo shook his head. 

“By the time the news reached us, it was already too late. The entire Wei family had perished in battle. Old General Wei was decapitated, and his head was hung on the city wall for over a month. It wasn’t until Wei Ting broke through Suixue Pass, leading his troops to seize back the city, that he retrieved his grandfather’s frozen head.”

“They say… Wei Ting himself stitched Old General Wei’s head back onto his body.”

Snow was falling heavily. The young man, who just past his eighteenth birthday, knelt alone in the snow. One stitch at a time, he sewed his grandfather’s body together.

No one knew how much hatred and pain burned inside him at that moment.

“As for his father and brothers’ corpses, some were badly damaged, some… couldn’t even be found at all.”

From then on, the youngest son of the Wei family seemed like a different person.

The world had seen too much of his arrogance, his domineering, his reckless and unruly ways, and gradually forgot that he had once been that radiant youth, the top scholar riding proudly through the streets, whose smile could captivate the whole city.

Su Xiaoxiao fell silent.

After a while, she softly asked, “Did he… ever sink into despair?”

“No.” 

In Su Mo’s life, there were very few people he admired, and the youngest Wei was one of them.

This man… he might die tragically, he might be gravely wounded, but he would never lose his spirit. 

Even if he only had one breath left, he would still stand tall and upright, high above the crowd, raising his head to breathe. 

He had once openly declared, when he was in pain, he would make sure everyone else was in pain too.

Su Mo sighed. 

“I’m telling you all this not to share Wei Ting’s past with you, but to urge you to think carefully about your relationship with him. After all, you two are only husband and wife in name. There’s still room to turn back.”

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes sharpened with sudden wariness. 

“Who told you that?”

Su Mo hesitated, but finally admitted honestly, “Su Yuniang wrote it in a letter.”

Su Xiaoxiao’s almond eyes widened in disbelief. 

“Yuniang wrote you a letter?”

What kind of shocking development was this?!

Su Mo pulled open the hidden compartment beneath the desk and took out a few letters. 

“These few are for you. The one at the very bottom is for me, but you can read it too.”

What did you mean that I can also read it?

Was that really the main point here?!
