"How? Are you still saying you're not interested now? Don't worry, if I didn't really find out, I wouldn't joke about it."

"Back home..."

Wen Changheng got into the carriage first, Zhao Lingrui followed behind, Xie Lingbai stood there in a daze, Wei Ze asked him, "Master Xie, won't you go back?"

"need."

Xie Lingbai went to the carriage and climbed up, and sat down opposite Zhao Lingrui, Zhao Lingrui grinned at him: "Xiaobai, we meet again—"

Xiaobai...Xie Lingbai wanted to hit someone a little bit, but considering that he was in the carriage now and Wen Changheng was sitting beside him, so he endured it.

After the group returned to Wen's mansion, Zhao Lingrui followed Wen Changheng into the study, Wei Ze stepped forward and closed the study door, turned around and saw Xie Lingbai staring at him, and explained: "Master and my cousin should have something There are very important things to discuss, Young Master Xie, let's wait here for a while."

Said walking into the yard, Xie Lingbai glanced at the closed study door, then followed Wei Ze to the stone table in the yard and sat down.

"Young Master Xie left work so early today?"

Wei Ze saw that Xie Lingbai was a little unhappy, so he took the initiative to find a topic, and Xie Lingbai replied listlessly: "Because the master said that he would take me to buy a pulse pillow."

"I see."

"Wei Ze, do you know what your cousin said just now?"

"Said a person's name."

"Who?"

"A person who is very important to the master, but I don't think I can disclose who it is."

"A very important person..." Xie Lingbai recalled Wen Changheng's expression just now, he was so surprised just hearing the name, one can imagine how important that person is to him.

"You can't say the name, but you can always say whether it's male or female?"

Wei Ze was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a while and said, "Young Master Xie, it's better for you to ask the master about these things yourself. If the master is willing to talk, he will tell you."

"Usually the questions I ask him, he mostly doesn't answer."

Xie Lingbai has always felt that he is getting closer and closer to Wen Changheng recently, and the relationship is getting better and better, but at this moment, he realizes that he actually doesn't know Wen Changheng at all from the beginning to the end.

So the recent harmony is just an illusion created unilaterally by myself?

"Wei Ze, I remember that you were not in Xixia City, right?"

Xie Lingbai grew up in Xixia City, and in his impression, Yucaoxuan only appeared four or five years ago. At that time, it was said that the boss was a foreigner.

"Yes, Master and I arrived in Xixia City five years ago."

"Then where are you originally from?"

"Imperial City."

"Imperial City?" Xie Lingbai was a little surprised. It would take almost a month to get to the Imperial City by carriage. I didn't expect Wen Changheng to come from such a far away place.

"Then you have been by Wen Changheng's side since childhood?"

"No, I have been with the master for six years."

Xie Lingbai was a little envious, and he really wanted to meet Wen Changheng sooner, so maybe he wouldn't be like now, not understanding anything.

"Then why did you come to Xixia City from the Imperial City? It's so far away, if you're talking about doing business, isn't the Imperial City more prosperous?"

"This... because something happened, so..."

"Understood, these things can't be said, right?!"

Wei Ze smiled awkwardly, and Xie Lingbai didn't force him to tell the truth, so if he couldn't say this, he would just ask another question.

"Then you are in such a far place, won't your parents worry about it?"

"Both my parents knew I was here and didn't urge me to go back. It's just that my mother always hoped that I could get married early. As for the master...his mother died of illness when he was very young."

"And what about his father?"

"The relationship between the master and his father is not very good. Even when they were in the imperial city, they lived separately, and they didn't communicate with each other when they saw each other."

Xie Lingbai was a little surprised. He thought that Wen Changheng's parents might have passed away a long time ago, so he lived alone in Xixia City. What he didn't expect was that his father was still alive, but his relationship was not good.

It is said that the father and son did not have an overnight feud, and Xie Lingbai and Xie Sheng'an used to have disputes over some trivial matters, but it usually cleared up after a few days.

Therefore, the dispute between Wen Changheng and his father must be much more serious than he imagined, Xie Lingbai's eyes could not help but move to the study.

"You better be serious."

In the study room, Wen Changheng's voice sounded a little serious, Zhao Lingrui also changed his previous attitude of joking, nodded and said: "Of course, but I really don't know the specifics, I just know that there is something strange, the rest is up to you." You went to investigate yourself."

"you can go now."

"You really like crossing rivers and tearing down bridges as always, but forget it, everyone is a good brother. If I really care about you, I won't come all the way to find you."

"I don't think you came here just to tell me the news."

"of course!"

Wen Changheng's eyes were light, Zhao Lingrui smiled and said: "Well, I admit, I mainly sneaked out of the palace to play around. I didn't intend to reveal this, but I was caught by you and I had to say it in exchange for staying."

"Call Wei Ze when you go out."

Zhao Lingrui nodded, but did not leave, looking hesitant.

"There is a question that I wanted to ask when I saw you last time." Zhao Lingrui asked after struggling again and again: "Wen Xun (xún), why have I seen you these few times, no matter from your Judging by breath or footsteps, can't you feel the slightest bit of internal force?"

Wen Changheng remained silent. Zhao Lingrui saw his calm face, as if he wasn't the one who asked the question, and asked in disbelief: "From the time when everyone's eyes are on the bright future to now becoming a businessman who deals with abacus books all day long, Wen Xun , do you really not feel sorry at all? Where have all your ambitions and passion gone?"

"This is my business and has nothing to do with you."

"But I want to know, will my good brother who is omnipotent and good-looking come back?"

Wen Changheng frowned, and gave a wry smile: "Heh... omnipotence... the so-called omnipotence is just the arrogance of youth and ignorance..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, what about your kung fu? What about your internal strength? When you left the imperial city, weren't you in good shape? Or what happened to you after that..."

"Prince..."

Wen Changheng's eyes were gloomy, Zhao Lingrui nodded, and compromised: "Okay, this is your business, I just don't ask, but I can't ask you from you, it doesn't mean I won't check it myself, I will See, how long are you going to be decadent!"

After Zhao Lingrui finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the door to open the door of the study room. He paused for a while before going out. Xie Lingbai and Wei Ze in the courtyard looked at him instantly.

Zhao Lingrui lowered his head and took a deep breath. When he raised his head again, the expression just now was gone. He smiled, hooked his hands at Wei Ze in the courtyard, and said, "Your master is calling you."

Wei Ze got up and went into the study, while Wen Changheng was standing by the bookshelf, from his expression it was impossible to tell how the conversation between the two of them was going.

"master……"

"Send a few people to follow Ling Rui secretly."

"Just follow? Don't need to send him back to the imperial city?"

"No need for now, investigate clearly, what is the real purpose of his coming to Xixia City this time, please send a few more, and ensure his safety while investigating."

"Yes……"

"And..." Wen Changheng's eyes were slightly dark, and he paused for a while before continuing: "Check what happened five years ago, thoroughly investigate."

Wei Ze was a little surprised. It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince really brought great news this time. No wonder he was so confident just now that the master was willing to let him stay.

Zhao Lingrui in the courtyard was stared at by Xie Lingbai until he was hairy on his back. He raised his hands and said, "Xiaobai, why are you staring at me like that? I declare beforehand that Wen...Wen Changheng and I are innocent. I was just talking about something It's just a matter, don't think about it."

"Cousin, what did you guys do just now..."

"Wait, what did you call me?"

"Cousin..."

"Please, I look older than you no matter what, you should call me big brother!"

"I don't think so."

"Well, tell me about your birthday."

"December [-] of the year of the river."

"Haha, I'm December [-]th, how are you? Call your brother!"

"Tch, it's only four days."

"Four hours count, let alone four days, hurry up!"

Zhao Lingrui urged, Xie Lingbai suddenly said: "Don't change the topic with me, tell me honestly, what did you say to my master in the study just now?"

"You really want to know?"

"Of course."

"It's not impossible, but what do you want to exchange?"

Zhao Lingrui smiled treacherously, Xie Lingbai was stunned, exchange?He is penniless, what can he exchange for?
