Xie Yun, who knew nothing about the situation between Gu Changting and Lu Congyun, had been sneezing constantly lately.
"I must have caught a cold..."
Xie Yun mumbled to himself, then picked up the pastries with the added laxative and set off to visit the Su Family.
As a child, he was the Attendant Student to Prime Minister Su's sons and was on good terms with Su Zixiao, the Su family's heir. He was also a disciple of Prime Minister Su, so coming and going from the Su Family was quite convenient for him. In fact, to outsiders, Xie Yun was seen as part of the Su Family.
But only he knew that ever since Su Wenzhong had taken him from Gu Chengluan to the Su Family, he had always been treated as a servant.
It was only because, as he grew older, Su Wenzhong recognized his talent in governance and scholarship, and because the former Emperor had tacitly allowed him to live, that Su Wenzhong took him in as a disciple, gaining fame as a wise and benevolent Prime Minister.
