Chapter 168 - 168 She Was Very Special

168 She Was Very Special
Luo Jin’an said in a low voice, “Well, if you say nothing happened, then nothing happened.”
His voice was low, but Su Binglan heard it.
‘W-What!’ She felt like she was going crazy. ‘I didn’t do anything. Jin’an was the one who put his head on my shoulder and hugged me, so why do I feel like I let him down?!’
It was as if Luo Jin’an did not want to take responsibility for his actions. Still, Su Binglan was innocent because she had not done anything.
She looked at her husband and gritted her teeth again. “Husband, you’re not allowed to drink alcohol anymore.”
“Ahem, I understand.” Luo Jin’an looked weak, utterly different from last night.
Su Binglan felt it was a sin to raise her voice at her husband. ‘Forget it. He’s not in good health, so I shouldn’t be mad at him. Also, he got up early to prepare breakfast.’
She calmed down and thought she had been a bit too severe. Perhaps because Luo Jin’an was her husband, he was always special to her. Then she suddenly thought of what the dark spirit had done to Luo Jin’an and felt guilty again.
After some thought, she explained, “I’m sorry for being a little harsh just now.”
Luo Jin’an sighed and said gently, “Don’t apologize. We don’t need to talk about this. You should be hungry too, so let’s have some breakfast.”
Su Binglan simply nodded and said, “Okay.”
The couple went to town shortly after breakfast.
…
Time passed quickly, and a few days later, Chen Zhuzhu went to the capital. Meanwhile, Su Zhengde had finished making the chairs and tables, so Su Wenzhe set up a stall in front of the tofu shop. He also made more haggis soup and sesame buns.
Su Binglan had taught Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin how to make herbal eggs and Chinese hamburgers over the past few days. She also taught her parents how to make tofu pudding. Therefore, Su Wenzhe’s tofu shop became even more famous.
Although there were many seats and tables at the small stall, there was still a long line of customers. Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin were too busy, so Su Binglan told Li Shi and Zhou Shan to help while Lin Zheng watched the dessert shop.
At noon, Su Binglan went to Blue Mountain Academy to deliver lunch. Over the past few days, she had gone there to deliver lunch every afternoon. Eventually, everyone at the academy knew that this virtuous and beautiful woman was Luo Jin’an’s wife.
They all envied Luo Jin’an for having such a gorgeous, intelligent, and capable wife. Of course, after going to the academy several times, Su Binglan knew that class C1 had the weakest foundation and was equivalent to a beginner’s class.
She did not know Luo Jin’an’s learning level and thought he and Su Xuexuan could only enter class C1 after the exam. She even comforted Luo Jin’an, “You don’t have to do well in the exam. You just have to enjoy the fun of learning.”
She had sent Luo Jin’an to school without saying she wanted him to take the imperial exams and become a high-ranking official. She only felt Luo Jin’an was not suited to work at the shop as an assistant.
Su Binglan thought it was more suitable for Luo Jin’an to attend the academy to study as long as it was simple.
Luo Jin’an acknowledged his wife’s comforting words, and his expression changed. He said, “Other people’s wives want their husbands to take the imperial exams so they can benefit from it. Don’t you want to be the wife of an official?”
Su Binglan replied, “Do you think it’s that easy? I just want our family to be happy, that’s all. I can earn money independently, so you don’t need to work hard for a title. Also, earning a title is not easy, and the officialdom is not as simple as you think.”
Luo Jin’an said with great interest, “You speak as if you know a lot about the officialdom.”
Su Binglan said, “I don’t know much about it, but I can tell just by looking at the King and the major-general.”
Luo Jin’an’s expression changed. “I didn’t expect you to know all this. I wonder what you think about them. Soldiers are just pawns of war, so accompanying a King is like a sheep accompanying a tiger.
“Since ancient times, being a loyal subject and a good general has been the most challenging task. It’s okay to serve a wise King, but if not, the subjects would die in vain for a foolish King.”
Su Binglan had heard a lot about the outside world recently. She was just feeling sentimental too, but after Luo Jin’an heard what his wife had previously said, his whole body trembled, and his expression changed.
Su Binglan looked at her husband’s expression and said, “Does this topic scare you?”
Luo Jin’an looked deeply at his wife, shook his head, and said, “No, it’s just that we shouldn’t talk about these things in public.”
Su Binglan knew she could not say some things during that era. She felt she had lost some of her identity in front of Luo Jin’an.
However, she did not want to pretend and simply spoke her mind. Nonetheless, she knew her husband would not tell others what she had said about the officialdom and that he would not ask her too many things.
She looked at Luo Jin’an’s thoughtful expression and said smilingly, “Don’t worry. I will only talk about these things privately, not in public.”
“Okay,” Luo Jin’an gave a brief reply.
After lunch, Su Binglan cleaned up the dishes and left the academy while Luo Jin’an arranged for Su Xuexuan and Xu Xuehai to nap.
Immediately after, Luo Jin’an went into a secret room where Mr. Kong was. However, it took a while for Mr. Kong to gather his thoughts.
After a long while, Mr. Kong said, “Your wife is something else, huh? She said things no ordinary person would.”
Luo Jin’an looked toward the door and smiled as he said, “Yes, she is extraordinary.”
Mr. Kong noticed his master’s reaction and said, “Your wife is so good to you. She even cooks various dishes for you daily. Moreover, she put medicinal herbs in your porridge today, which are good for your health.”
Luo Jin’an said, “Binglan is also a cautious person. Still, Princess Lan said something similar to what Binglan had said. Sometimes I wonder if Princess Lan has returned.”
“You should know that souls can be different,” Mr. Kong interjected, “You’ve experienced many things, but you only smile when Su Binglan is by your side.”
Luo Jin’an’s expression changed. “Does she smile too?”
Mr. Kong nodded and said, “Master, Princess Lan said you should respect your wife if you ever found one. She can predict the future, but her body will weaken whenever she uses her abilities.”
Luo Jin’an remained silent for a while. Then he said, “King Ding is in Dingzhou now, Mr. Kong. Find a way to send people over to protect him. However, I cannot reveal my identity yet.”
Mr. Kong said solemnly, “I understand, Master. I will arrange for that right away.”
Luo Jin’an seemed to have thought of something and added, “Also, arrange for people to investigate the whereabouts of Su Wenxiu and Su Wenwu.”
Mr. Kong knew that these were Su Binglan’s second and third brothers. “Master, you’ve told us that before, but Su Wenxiu is in the capital, so it’s not easy for our people to check on him. I fear someone will discover us.”
Luo Jin’an said, “Then try to be as discreet as possible. Binglan cares about her family and doesn’t want anything to happen to them.”
“I understand, Master,” Mr. Kong said, nodding.
…
Su Binglan was unaware of her husband’s interactions with Blue Mountain Academy’s principal.
When she returned to the shop, she made some desserts and began drawing blueprints for a house. This time, she wanted to build a bigger and better home for her family, so she designed it to be firm and sizable.
