"My lord, what happened?" the guard leader asked respectfully.

"Someone wanted to assassinate us just now." Wu Bai replied.

"What? Young Master, have you seen where they are going?" the guard leader asked.

Wu Bai pointed to the wall where Feng Zining left, and said, "This is where she climbed over the wall and left."

"Thank you, son, for letting me know." The guard leader led the others to chase in the direction Wu Bai pointed out.

Yuqing hugged Wu Bai's arm and said worriedly: "My lord, those two didn't come back just now, did they?"

"Probably not." Wu Bai shook his head.

"That's good." Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "The two of them just started fighting for some reason?"

"Maybe they are not in the same group. One of them saved us because he saw injustice and drew his sword to help." Wu Bai guessed thinking of the masked man he saw just now.

"Is that so?" Yuqing asked suspiciously.

"Okay, let's ignore their business, the guards have already caught up, it's getting late, go to bed!" Wu Bai ordered.

"Okay!" Yuqing agreed.

The next day, the leader of the guard came to report that he had lost the man after him. Wu Bai had already guessed the ending, and he didn't blame them, he just waved them to retreat.

Just as the leader of the guards left, the maid next to Wu's mother came to Wu Bai's yard.

"My lord, madam invites you to the hall." The servant girl said.

"I see." Wu Bai nodded.

Wu Bai changed his clothes again, and took Yuqing to the hall. Just after entering the hall, he saw Xiao Zimo and Wu's mother sitting in the hall.

"Brother Bai, you came just in time, Mr. Xiao has something to ask you." Mother Wu looked at Wu Bai and said.

"I met Mr. Xiao." Wu Bai said hello.

Xiao Zimo stood up and replied, "I have seen Mr. Wu."

"I don't know why Mr. Xiao is looking for me?" Wu Bai asked.

"I want to invite Mr. Wu to the theater to listen to an opera. I wonder if Mr. Wu is free?" Xiao Zimo looked at Wu Bai anxiously.

"Yeah." Wu Bai nodded.

"Great." Xiao Zimo said happily.

Seeing that Wu Bai agreed to come down, and Wu's mother didn't stop him, she told Wu Bai a few words and let them go.

Wu Bai took Yuqing and followed Xiao Zimo out of Wu's mansion, got into Xiao Zimo's carriage parked in front of the mansion, and the three of them quickly headed towards the theater.

When they arrived in front of the theater building, the three of them had just got off the carriage when Shu Lecheng and the other came from the opposite side.

The three of Shu Lecheng originally went to Xiao Zimo's mansion to find Xiao Zimo, but the concierge of the Xiao mansion told them that Xiao Zimo had gone out, so they had no choice but to leave the Xiao mansion. Just when they were bored, Shu Lecheng saw Xiao Zimo get off the carriage with sharp eyes. , followed by Wu Bai and Yu Qing.

So the threesome turned into a sixsome.

Everyone walked into the theater building, asked for a private room upstairs, and began to listen to the play.

Shu Lecheng saw that he had heard this play yesterday, so he quietly pulled Yuqing past him, walked outside, and asked, "Xiao Yuqing, what do you think of my Zimo?"

Yuqing tilted his head and looked at Shu Lecheng with a strange expression on his face. He didn't understand why the other party asked him what he was doing, but he still replied truthfully: "Xiao Shizi has a noble status, he is handsome and unrestrained, so he is naturally excellent."

Following Yuqing's words, Wu Bai heard a slight sigh from the roof.

"Then your son has mentioned Zimo to you, what does he think of Zimo?" Shu Lecheng inquired.

Yuqing nodded and replied, "Young Master did say so."

Shu Lecheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What did he say?"

"He said Mr. Xiao is a good man." Yuqing replied.

"That's it?" Shu Lecheng asked.

"Yes!" Yuqing nodded seriously.

"Are you sure?" Shu Lecheng grabbed Yuqing's arm and continued to ask.

Before Yuqing could reply, Wu Bai once again felt a killing intent coming from the roof, but this killing intent was not aimed at him, but at the people outside.

Through the screen, Wu Bai vaguely saw Shu Lecheng holding Yuqing's arm. Thinking of the masked man he saw last night, he started to guess, so he hurriedly shouted: "Yuqing, come in first."

Sure enough, following Wu Bai's shout, the murderous aura on the roof disappeared, instantly confirming that Wu Bai's guess was correct.

"Yes." Yuqing broke away from Shu Lecheng's hand and walked inside.

"What are your orders, Master?" Yu Qing asked.

"This refreshment is gone, you go downstairs and get some." Wu Bai said.

"Okay." Yuqing walked outside slowly.

Soon Yuqing came back with tea, Wu Bai was a little surprised, he thought that the person on the roof would not be able to resist talking to Yuqing, so he deliberately dismissed Yuqing, but he didn't expect Yuqing to come back so soon.

Xiao Zimo looked at Wu Bai and said, "Does Mr. Wu like dim sum? I know a shop that makes very delicious dim sum. Do you want to try it?"

Wu Bai nodded and said: "The dim sum that Mr. Xiao can praise must have an excellent taste, so I naturally want to taste it."

So everyone left the theater building and went to the pastry shop that Xiao Zimo had mentioned.

Li Wang Mansion

"Zi Ning, where did you go yesterday?" Li Wang looked at Feng Zi Ning and asked.

He sent many servants to look for him yesterday, but he couldn't find him at all.

Feng Zining said expressionlessly: "What do you want me for, you should go to Wu Bai, he is your sweetheart."

King Li looked at her with some hurt, and said: "Zi Ning, I have said countless times that I like you now, why do you always hold onto Wu Bai to make things difficult for you!"

"You say you like me, but you still look towards Wu Bai in your heart. He only said a few words yesterday to try to provoke discord, but you believed it. You never really believed in me and loved me!" Feng Zining He looked at King Li angrily.

"Zi Ning, I never asked where your martial arts came from. For you, I even ignored other people. Did you not notice all that I did for you?" Li Wanghong asked with eyes .

"So do you regret it? Regret that you neglected your beautiful wives and concubines?" Feng Zining said without hesitation.

"You!" Li Wang gave Feng Zining a disappointed look, then turned and left.

"Princess, the lord seems to be angry, are you really not going to coax her?" the maid beside Feng Zining reminded.

As Feng Zining's maidservant, she and Feng Zining are both prosperous and hurt. Only when Feng Zining gains power in the mansion can she live a better life. Seeing that King Li is really angry at this moment, she naturally wants to remind Feng Zining .

"Bastard, when will it be your turn to teach me how to do things!" Feng Zining slapped the servant girl hard.

Looking at the furious Feng Zining, the servant girl covered her red and swollen cheeks, knelt on the ground, and begged for mercy: "I know my mistake, I beg Wangfei to spare her life."

Feng Zining threw the teacup on the table to the ground and said angrily, "Get lost! What an eyesore!"

Hearing this, the servant girl quickly got up and fled from here.

On the other side, King Li returned to his study, and he told his servants: "Bring me wine."

"Yes." The servant quickly brought the wine.

"Back off." Li Wang waved his hand, then opened the jug, and began to drink the mulled wine.

The servant left the study and came to the backyard soon.

Mrs. Li looked at the servants and asked, "Wang Ye is drinking in the study?"

"The lord and the concubine had a big fight, and the lord is drinking in the study right now." The servant said again.

"Have you quarreled?" Mrs. Li laughed twice and said, "Good quarrel."

"Ma'am, this is a great opportunity for you!" Li's confidant maid reminded, "The things the old lady gave you yesterday can just come in handy."

"You're right." Shi Li gave the servant girl a look of praise.

The maid took down the purse, took out a tael of silver and handed it to the servant who reported the message.

The servant happily took the silver and put it in his arms.

"Now go to the study and watch it, don't let anyone else in." The servant girl urged.

"Yes, I understand." The servant quickly left Li's yard.

Mrs. Li said to the servant girl, "Go to the house and get my things."

"Yes, ma'am." The servant girl walked quickly into the room, took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Mrs. Li.

"Let's go." Mrs. Li walked towards King Li's study in a high-spirited manner.

In the study, Li Wang drank the wine with misty eyes, muttering from time to time: "Zi Ning, I treat you so well, why don't you feel it?"

Mrs. Li pushed away the study room, and slowly walked towards King Li.

King Li looked at her displeasedly, and said, "Who are you? This king said not to be disturbed by anyone, so get out!"

"My lord, it's my Paner!" Mrs. Li replied earnestly.

"Pan'er? What Pan'er? Get out of here, I only want Zi Ning." Li Wang said a little confused.

Hearing this, a trace of hatred flashed in Li's eyes, and then she quickly raised a bright smile, and said to the drunk Prince Li: "My lord, I am Zi Ning."

"You are Zi Ning?" Li Wang hugged Li Shi, and said aggrievedly: "Zi Ning, you are not angry with me anymore, I believe you in everything."

"Yes, I forgive you." Shi Li nodded.

Upon hearing this, King Li happily kissed Mrs. Li, and after a while, the ground was covered with messy clothes.

Li's maid and the servant stood guard at the door, listening to the voice from inside, they all understood what happened inside.

I don't know how long it has passed, Li Shi came out again, and she said to the servant: "If the prince wakes up and asks, you will say that the princess has been here, understand?"

The servant quickly nodded and said, "I understand."

The servant girl supported Li Shi and walked back slowly.

"Ma'am, why did you ask him to answer the lord like that?" the servant girl asked a little puzzled.

"My lord was drunk and thought I was that bitch." Shi Li said through gritted teeth.

"The lord is really fascinated by the wangfei..." the servant girl said unfairly.

Mrs. Li glared at her and said, "Shut up."

The servant girl hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, and said: "Madam, please forgive this slave girl. The servant girl also feels wronged for Madam, so she speaks so freely."

"I know you have good intentions, but such words must not be said out of the mouth. If someone listens to it, I'm afraid it will not be you, even I will not end well." Li Shi warned.

"Yes, I have made it down." The servant girl nodded quickly.

"Get up!" Li raised his hand and said.

"Thank you ma'am." The servant girl replied gratefully.

Mrs. Li extended her right hand to her and asked her to help her to go back. At the same time, she touched her stomach with her left hand and said, "I hope the medicine given by mother will be useful."

"Madam spent a lot of time finding this medicine, so it must be useful." The servant girl agreed.

"hope so!"

……

Xiao Zimo handed Wu Bai the sweet-scented osmanthus cake he bought, and said, "Try this."

Wu Bai nodded, picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it into his mouth, and then praised: "It tastes sweet and lingering in the mouth, it's delicious."

"Eat more if you like." Xiao Zimo put all the remaining pastries into Wu Bai's hands, and then packed several boxes of pastries from the pastry shop.

"What are you buying so much for?" Wu Bai asked curiously.

"This is something I prepared for my uncle and aunt, I hope they will like it." Xiao Zimo replied.

"For you to bother, they will definitely like it." Wu Bai said with a smile.

Xiao Zimo said happily: "That's good."

After tasting the cakes, Xiao Zimo brought Wu Bai and others to a restaurant again. After they had dinner, Xiao Zimo sent Wu Bai and the others back again.

In front of the gate of Wu's mansion, Xiao Zimo watched Wu Bai disappear through the gate before turning around and getting into the carriage.

On the carriage, Shu Lecheng jokingly said, "Zimo, I heard some news from Yuqing today about Wu Bai's opinion of you, do you want to hear it?"

"Don't be foolish, tell me quickly." Xiao Zimo said bluntly.

"Hmph! With such a bad attitude, I won't say anything." Shu Lecheng tilted his head and said.

Xiao Zimo glanced at him and said, "You don't want to say yes, okay, then I will tell Wenxuan and Jingshan everything you said when you were drunk last time."

"What did I say?" Shu Lecheng asked with a puzzled face.

"I won't tell you either. When I tell Wenxuan and Jingshan, you will be the one who will lose face." Xiao Zimo said seriously.

When Ji Wenxuan and Yang Jingshan heard this, they hurried to Xiao Zimo's side and said, "Tell us quickly, why is this idiot Lecheng so stupid?"

Shu Lecheng looked at Xiao Zimo suspiciously, and said, "I never talk when I'm drunk, so you don't want to talk to me."

"Really?" Xiao Zimo moved closer to Ji Wenxuan's ear, whispered a few words, and then whispered a few words in Yang Jingshan's ear.

After hearing what Xiao Zimo said, Ji Wenxuan and Yang Jingshan looked at Shu Lecheng with strange faces.

"Hey, what's your expression?" Shu Lecheng said angrily.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Lecheng, you are such a person!" Ji Wenxuan shook his head and exclaimed.

"If it were me, I would never be able to say such a thing." Yang Jingshan echoed.

Shu Lecheng was pissed off by the two of them and said, "What the hell did I say?"

Xiao Zimo hurriedly stopped Ji Wenxuan and Yang Jingshan, and said, "You are not allowed to tell him."

"Oh, I'm so pissed off, all right, I admit defeat, okay, I'll tell you what Yuqing said." Shu Lecheng said angrily.

"But I don't want to hear it now. I can ask Yuqing tomorrow." Xiao Zimo turned his head and said.

This appearance is exactly the same as Shu Lecheng's just now.

"You don't want me to say it, but I want to say it, I'm mad at you." Shu Lecheng said loudly, "Yuqing told me that his son thinks you are a good person."

Xiao Zimo immediately came over and said happily, "Really, did he really say that?"

Shu Lecheng curled his lips and said, "You don't want to hear it!"

"I've already told you what Yuqing said. Now you should tell me what I said when I was drunk. That's only fair." Shu Lecheng said in a low voice.

Ji Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, and said, "Hahaha, actually Zimo didn't tell us anything."

"How dare you fool me, Zimo." Shu Lecheng glared at Xiao Zimo angrily, and said, "I won't ask you about these things next time."

"Don't, you helped me this time, I can help you next time!" Xiao Zimo persuaded quickly.

"Is what you said true?" Shu Lecheng asked back.

"Of course it's true." Xiao Zimo nodded.

"It's not too bad." Shu Lecheng nodded with satisfaction.

Wu family

"Brother Bai, you are back, what are you holding in your hand?" Mother Wu asked with a smile.

"This is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Zimo prepared for you and father." Wu Bai handed the cake in his hand to the maid next to Wu's mother.

Mother Wu said happily: "This Xiao Shizi is too much trouble."

"How are you playing today?"

Wu Bai nodded and said, "I had a great time. We made an appointment to go out to the city tomorrow."

"Going for an outing tomorrow?" Mother Wu said in surprise, "Good for an outing, this is good."

She originally thought that Wu Bai's marriage would be delayed, but according to Xiao Zimo's current attentive attitude, she felt that it would definitely not be delayed.

"Mother, we have already had dinner at the restaurant, so you don't need to send someone to notify me later." Wu Bai said.

Wu's mother nodded and said: "Okay, mother knows, you are tired after playing all day, go down and rest!"

"Okay." Wu Bai obediently led Yuqing out of the hall.

As soon as Wu's father came home, he saw Wu's mother sitting on the stool and giggling. He immediately asked, "Ma'am, what are you happy about?"

Wu's mother looked up at him, and said with a smile: "Today, Shizi Xiao came to Wu's mansion in person, and he invited Brother Bai to listen to an opera, and they will go out for an outing outside the city tomorrow."

"You mean that Shizi Xiao has taken a fancy to our brother Bai?" Wu Fu said in surprise.

"Well, look at this pastry, he also gave it to us." Mother Wu said, pointing to the pastry on the table.

Mother Wu didn't think the pastry was unusual, but what she valued was Xiao Zimo's kindness.

Father Wu said in a daze: "I said why did Prince Xiao suddenly go to the Imperial College today."

Wu Bai took Yuqing back to his yard, he felt the aura that had been following him all the time, so he said to Yuqing: "Yuqing, I'll wash myself, you go down first!"

Yuqing replied, "Yes, my lord."

When Yuqing left, the aura also left, a flash of understanding flashed in Wu Bai's heart, and then he began to wash.

After washing, Wu Bai was about to take off his shoes, but felt that aura reappeared. After thinking for a while, Wu Bai got up and said, "Come out, I know you are here."

As soon as these words came out, the breath was disordered for a moment, and soon returned to normal.

"Yan Yi, if you don't come out, I'll go to Yuqing's place." Wu Bai threatened.

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Wu Bai.

Wu Bai turned around and looked at Yan Yi. He looked at the mask the other party was wearing and said, "Yuqing said before that she couldn't find her mask. I guessed it was you who took it, and it is true."

"You can't hide anything from Young Master." Yan Yi said.

"There is no one else here, you can take off the mask, I look weird." Wu Bai said.

Yan Yi paused slightly, shook his head and said, "I'm doing fine like this."

Wu Bai saw something was wrong, and continued, "Take off the mask and let me have a look."

"My lord, I like wearing a mask, so please don't make things difficult for me." Yan Yi refused.

The more Yan Yi looked like this, the more doubts Wu Bai felt in his heart. He said, "Tell me about the situation after you left!"

"...After I left Huabao Temple and returned to the Jackdaw Pavilion, I wanted to challenge the old pavilion master to leave the Jackdaw Pavilion. Who knew that the old pavilion master listened to my reason and put me in the dungeon directly... and then Lin He saved me, he told me, you asked him to save me... The old pavilion master found that I had escaped and chased after me, we fled all the way to the cliff, Lin He didn't dare to let the old pavilion master know that he saved me , and knocked me off the cliff... Later, I fell off the cliff, and I was lucky enough to survive. I took the pill that the young master gave me, and I survived smoothly. After I recovered from my injury, I went to Huabao Temple. Master told me to come to the capital to find you." Yan Yi said eloquently.

"Will the old Pavilion Master of the Jackdaw Pavilion still come to look for you?" Wu Bai asked.

Yan Yi shook his head and said: "No, since I fell off the cliff, no matter whether I am alive or dead, I will have nothing to do with the Jackdaw Pavilion from now on. complied."

"That's good." Wu Bai nodded and said, then he moved his right hand slightly, and instantly took off the mask on Yan Yi's face.

"My lord, what are you doing?" Yan Yi asked quickly, covering his face with his sleeve.

Although Yan Yi moved very quickly, Wu Bai still looked straight at it.

Wu Bai was surprised and said, "What's the matter with your face?"

Yan Yi put down his sleeves angrily, and said angrily: "My lord, are you satisfied seeing me like this?"

"Why are you angry with me? I still want to be angry with you. How many times did Yuqing cry secretly because of you in the middle of the night, but after you came back, you hid in hiding and didn't plan to show up at all. If I hadn't called you out today, I'm afraid you still want to hide it for the rest of your life, right?" Wu Bai said displeased.

"Yuqing, he..." Yan Yi's arrogance suddenly extinguished, and he said guiltily, "I am the one who is sorry for Yuqing."

"My lord, you've seen it now, how can I appear in front of Yuqing again with my face hurt like this." Yan Yi frowned and said.

"Yuqing is not a person who cares about appearance." Wu Bai explained.

"I know, but I still don't dare to appear in front of him like this, son, please, don't tell Yuqing of my existence, let him think I'm dead, I want to just stay by his side silently like this .” Yan Yi prayed with eyes full.

"Stay by his side like this, and watch him get married to others, are you willing?" Wu Bai asked back.

"..." Yan Yi nodded solemnly and said, "I am willing, as long as he lives happily."

Wu Bai sneered and said: "Today, Shizi Shu just got closer to Yuqing, and you showed your murderous aura. If Yuqing really married someone else, you still have to kill the whole family?"

Yan Yi: "..."

"Okay, don't make a bitter face, I have a way to help you restore your appearance." Wu Bai waved his hand.

"Really?" Yan Yi said happily.

"En." Wu Bai nodded affirmatively.

"Thank you, my lord." Yan Yi knelt down in front of Wu Bai with a puff, and said, "My lord's great kindness can't be repaid..."

Wu Bai interrupted him, saying: "As long as you treat Yuqing well in the future, it will be the greatest reward for me."

Yan Yi solemnly said: "Yan Yi will never let Yu Qing down, please rest assured, Young Master."

"Hmph! You'd better do what you say, and let me forgive you this time. If there is another time, I won't be so easy to talk to." Wu Bai reminded.

"Yan Yi remembered." Yan Yi said seriously.

"Alright, step back first!" Wu Bai waved his hand.

"Yes." Yan Yi took the mask, put it on again, and quickly disappeared into Wu Bai's room.
