Chapter 39 A stranger is like jade
Song family
Song Mohan sat in the study, his jade-like face reflected in the flickering candlelight, making him look even more elegant. He gently turned the pages of the book in his hand, and every word seemed to tell a thousand-year-old story.
He saw the servant Xiaofu hesitated several times, with a trace of worry between his brows. He put down the book, chuckled, and asked, "Xiaofu, what's the matter?" His voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, making people feel close to him.
Xiaofu hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and finally spoke: "Sir, someone has used the recommendation letter you gave to Miss Wu."
Song Mohan's eyes narrowed slightly. Letter of recommendation? The distance between the Wu family and the academy is not short, it shouldn't be so fast? Or did something go wrong in the middle?
"Who used it?" he asked, his voice still calm, but his heart was already in turmoil.
"Yes... it's Qingcheng student Gu Qingyun." Xiaofu answered with his head lowered, somewhat afraid to look at his master's face.
Qingcheng?
Gu Qingyun?
Song Mohan frowned. Yueyue had written to him before that she was taking shelter from the rain and her grandmother was a little unwell and needed to recuperate for a while before she could set off. It seemed that she was talking about Qingcheng. Gu Qingyun should have been met during that time, but why did Yueyue give him the letter of recommendation?
You have to know that a letter of recommendation from Langhua Academy is rare in decades. Countless of my father's students and old friends wanted it, but my father didn't give it to them.
If it weren't for the fact that Father Wu really owed the Wu family too much this time, and if they hadn't raised Wu Yueyue since she was a child, loved her very much and wanted to give her a decent wedding, the Song family would never have sent out this precious letter of recommendation to help the Wu family!
but……
This letter...actually...just fell into the hands of...this...Gu Qingyun so easily?
This matter is really... indescribably weird!
So weird!
"Sir, would you like me to contact the servants following Miss Wu and ask what's going on?" Seeing that his master didn't speak, Xiaofu couldn't help but look up and asked cautiously.
Song Mohan was silent for a moment, then waved his hand: "No need, now that the recommendation letter has been sent, it has no end." There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, but also a determination.
Yueyue, I hope you won’t let me down!
Xiaofu nodded, knowing that his master must be very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the recommendation letter sent by his master was not signed. He had originally thought that the Wu family would just fill in the name of the recommended person, but who knew that such a mistake would happen!
Now that the recommendation letter has been sent out, it is like water poured out of the door and can never be taken back.
Besides, their Langhua Academy can’t afford to lose this person. No matter who it is or how they got the recommendation letter, their Langhua Academy can only accept the defeat!
Song Mohan stood up, walked to the window, pushed it open, and looked at the moonlight outside. An unknown smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Gu Qingyun, you'd better make sure that you have real talent and knowledge, otherwise... my Song family's letter of recommendation is not so easy to get!" Although his voice was light, it revealed a chill that made people shudder!
Xiaofu was shocked. He had never seen his master with such an expression before. He couldn't help but shudder. He quickly lowered his head and silently reduced his presence!
Song Mohan slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if to calm the anger in his heart. When he opened his eyes again, he had regained his composure. He turned around and said to Xiaofu, "Xiaofu, go down. I want to be alone for a while."
Xiaofu responded and quietly left the study. When he closed the door, he looked back at Song Mohan in the study and thought to himself:
"Although the young master is gentle and seems easy to get along with, he is actually just as stubborn as the second young master. I hope Miss Wu doesn't make the mistake!"
