Two days later, the Crown Prince's instructor was announced; to everyone's surprise, it was Scholar Wu, who himself was at a loss. He thought he was the least likely candidate because he was simply too honest.
Zhou Shuren didn't have to endure scrutinizing gazes. Now the looks he received were somewhat sympathetic.
Zhou Shuren inwardly sneered, he wasn't interested in being the Crown Prince's instructor anyway!
After the morning court, Li Zhao approached him, "So it really wasn't you."
Zhou Shuren glanced sideways, "I've said from the start it wouldn't be me."
At this moment, he had completely forgotten about the unease he'd felt days before!
Li Zhao was quite the sly old fox himself; he had believed it would be Zhou Shuren. Imagine what others must have thought; it was an unexpected outcome indeed. He was just about to say something with a forced laugh.
Scholar Ding interrupted with a sneer, "What a pity!"
