Chapter 17: Wen Yunjin, this perverted brother.

ยท

"Really?"

Wen Yunjin's emotionless voice pulled Si Xuan back from the lengthy memories, and in a daze, Wen Yunjin had already withdrawn his fingers, sat back down, and slowly wiped the marks on his fingertips with a handkerchief.

Si Xuan looked at the tooth marks on his fingertips, and suddenly couldn't help but raise his head, and opened his mouth as if he was confused: "Brother, I know everything." โ€

Wen Yunjin wiped his fingers for a moment, squinted his eyes, and looked at her again, "What do you know?" โ€

"About my brother's fake engagement to Princess Zhaohua." Si Xuan herself has no morality, and the party involved in Shengzhao Painting can sell this secret to her for a painting, so she naturally won't keep any secrets for her.

Wen Yunjin folded the square handkerchief in his hand and put it back on the desk, as if he was not surprised by Si Xuan's words, but glanced at her lightly and asked, "So?" โ€

At this time, the carriage at the time of departure stopped, and it was Zhao Changlin who came under the carriage to report to the people inside: "My lord, Your Majesty asked the Ouchi guards to send a secret letter. โ€

Wen Yunjin didn't say anything, pushed the window to take the secret letter handed in by Zhao Changlin, and closed the window again.

He opened the secret letter and scribbled it, closed the secret letter casually, raised his eyes, and saw that Si Xuan, who was sitting opposite, was still looking at him without blinking, he felt a little funny, and a very shallow smile hung on his face, and asked, "What did Xuan Xuan want to say just now?" โ€

Si Xuan's attention was not on the secret letter, and she couldn't see the content of the secret letter from this angle, the only thing she could feel was that Wen Yunjin didn't want to talk to herself about the topic of "fake engagement", so she swallowed what she just wanted to say back to her throat, pursed her lips, and said, "It's nothing."

"Xuan Xuan," Wen Yunjin still seemed helpless, and even his eyes were a little mocking, "You don't seem to have figured out the situation yet, whether it's true or not, the engagement is a fact, don't talk nonsense." โ€

Si Xuan stared at him, and said expressionlessly, "Oh, then invite me to dinner?" โ€

Wen Yunjin's tone was as usual: "I will go to the palace in a while, if you are really hungry, I will ask Zhao Changlin to send you to a nearby inn." โ€

"That's no need," Si Xuan returned the small stove in his arms to him, picked up his backpack and said, "Let's go." โ€

After Si Xuan finished speaking, without waiting for Wen Yunjin to respond, he got out of the carriage by himself, held on to the swelling pain in his ankle, straightened his shoulders and left.

Zhao Changlin stood outside the carriage, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "My lord, do you need your subordinates to escort the county lord back?" โ€

At this time, Wen Yunjin's expression was cold and heavy, and the anger that he had suppressed not long ago was fully displayed on his face, and he did not have the patience when facing Si Xuan at all, he slowly tore off the secret letter in his hand, and said with a faint "um", "Don't let her find out." โ€

After explaining, Wen Yunjin made the coachman turn around and drove in the direction of the palace.

When Si Xuan returned to the dormitory, it was already very late, Waduo was lying on the desk scratching his ears and cheeks to write a letter to his family, and when he saw her coming back, he was startled: "Si Xuan, didn't you say that you won't come back?" โ€

"Oh, I'll be back when I'm done," Si Xuan returned to his couch and sat down, rubbed his little feet for a while before looking up and asking, "Waduo, do you still have anything to eat?" โ€

Wado said, "Wait," put down the pen and went to get her a few packets of snacks.

Si Xuan gnawed on the small fruit for a while, rubbed the tip of his red nose and said, "Waduo, next time I will definitely accompany you to play in the snow for half an hour." โ€

Wado burst out laughing and said, "Okay! I heard Taifu say that there is still a heavy snow in the next few days, and then we will go to play in the snow outside the Taixue Academy! โ€

Two days later, Si Xuan took advantage of the rest time to go back to the trading house, the workers were rebuilding, Si Xuan took a general walk, and was very satisfied with the construction plan of the builder.

When it was noon, Si Xuan asked Director Li to invite the workers to the inn, and let the inn prepare a rich lunch, intending to treat everyone.

It was at this time that the fourth prince, Sheng Zhaorong, appeared in the inn, and sat down at Si Xuan's dinner table while Director Li was sent by her to do other things.

Si Xuan was looking down to sort out the account books, and he caught a glimpse of a figure in the afterglow, raised his eyes and glanced at Sheng Zhaorong, who was sitting down opposite, and paused before speaking: "Why is the Fourth Highness here?" โ€

"This king has been observing this remodeled land for the past two days." Sheng Zhaorong said.

Si Xuan thought for a while and said, "I don't sell it." โ€

"......" Sheng Zhaorong, who didn't have time to ask, was choked, cleared his throat and communicated with her in a different way, "In this way, if you let this king enter the stock market, I am quite optimistic about opening a business bank here." โ€

Si Xuan looked at him: "I have money." โ€

Sheng Zhaorong: "......"

made a mistake, although the Si family is gone, Si Xuan's own net worth has not been confiscated, and she is still a proper little rich woman in Shangdu City.

Sheng Zhaorong twisted his eyebrows with a headache, and finally had to resort to a killer move: "Si Xuan, you let this king buy shares, and this king sells you news." โ€

Before Si Xuan refused, Sheng Zhaorong met her gaze and preemptively said, "It's related to your brother Dean Wen." โ€

After hearing this, Si Xuan was silent.

Her first reaction was, did her feelings for Wen Yunjin reach the point where everyone knew about it? Why did the royal prince and princess catch her so tacitly......

Si Xuan remembered that she cheekily went to Wen Yunjin to ask for peace two days ago, but as soon as she left the gate of Hanlin Academy, Wen Yunjin turned her face and didn't recognize anyone, Si Xuan was still angry, and he didn't want to know much about him for a while.

It's just that before she could speak, Sheng Zhaorong lowered his voice and said, "It happened on the day you were released from prison." โ€

Si Xuan was silent for a moment, raised his head and said, "Your Highness, please speak." โ€

"You say yes first."

"Okay."

Sheng Zhaorong was relieved at this time, and told her mysteriously: "Early that morning, this king happened to rush to the south of the city, and happened to pass by Zhaotian Prison, in fact, at first, this king didn't know that day was the day you were released from prison......

Si Xuan frowned: "Can Your Highness tell me the point?" โ€

"What are you anxious about," Sheng Zhaorong said to her in turn, and then he sighed and continued, "It was not yet completely dawn, and the gate of Zhaotian Prison had not yet opened. โ€

Si Xuan's brain was empty, staring at Sheng Zhaorong speechless.

She remembered that the day after she was released from prison, she ran to the Hanlin Academy to find Wen Yunjin, and finally waited for Wen Yunjin to come out to see her, but Wen Yunjin's words and deeds all told her that he didn't care about and didn't know about her release from prison, as if whether she was dead or alive in Zhaotian Prison had nothing to do with him.

Si Xuan has always thought that this is the case.

But now, Sheng Zhaorong told her that on the day she was released from prison, her brother had been to Zhaotian Prison......

He was still waiting for her outside Zhaotian Prison.

Si Xuan didn't know how long he had been in a daze, until Sheng Zhaorong stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him, Si Xuan blinked his eyelashes twice sluggishly, and slowly came to his senses, "I-"

Si Xuan wanted to say something, but remembered something more important, she took a deep breath, got up and said, "I'll discuss the matter of buying shares with His Highness later, and I still have to leave in advance." โ€

After Si Xuan finished speaking, he walked out, and happened to meet Director Li who came back at the door of the inn, Si Xuan hurriedly explained a few words to Director Li, and then got into the carriage and left.

Si Xuan asked his subordinate Li Mi to inquire several times, and finally learned the residence of the Lord Zhang in Zhaotian Prison, so he went directly to the house of Master Zhang.

After arriving at the deep alley of the alley, Si Xuan came to the door of Master Zhang's house under the guidance of Li Mi.

Not long after she knocked on the door, there were footsteps in the courtyard, and the person who came out to open the door happened to be the person she was looking for.

When Lord Zhang saw the little county lord of Changyang standing outside the door, he was stunned for a while before he reacted, and hurriedly saluted her.

"Lord Zhang, I took the liberty to visit."

Lord Zhang was thinking about things, and he invited the little county lord into the courtyard with complicated feelings.

After the maidservant poured the tea and retreated, Si Xuan asked Li Mi to present the prepared box of heavy gold, and said bluntly: "Lord Zhang, I'll ask you something." โ€

When Lord Zhang saw the box of gold bars in front of him, he was even more overwhelmed, "County Lord, this ......"

Si Xuan didn't have the slightest sense that he was embarrassed, and when Master Zhang was still hesitating, Si Xuan had already looked at him lightly, and said very calmly: "Please answer me truthfully, on the day I was released from prison, did my brother come?" โ€

Master Zhang's old hand holding the teacup shook slightly and knelt down.

"Don't worry, I won't tell him."

After receiving Si Xuan's answer, Master Zhang sighed heavily and replied in a low voice, "Yes...... On that day, the dean came to wait outside Zhaotian Prison before dawn. โ€

Si Xuan's lips pursed straight, and it took a long time before he said, "I didn't see him when I came out." โ€

Master Zhang let out a wry smile helplessly, "That's because the dean left a quarter of an hour before the county lord was released from prison...... That's why the county lord didn't meet the dean at that time. โ€

Si Xuan was quiet, picked up the teacup on the side, and drank one sip of tea after another with an expressionless face, his finger joints slightly bulging due to excessive force.

The eyelashes cover the eyes, making it impossible to see the growing sickness at the bottom of the eyes.

After sitting quietly like this for a long time, Si Xuan suddenly fell ill, lowered his head, gathered enough strength, and pinched out the bruise on the tattoo on the inside of his wrist.

The corners of his mouth were pressed down, and a gloomy and innocent smile was squeezed out.

Perverted ......

Wen Yunjin, this perverted brother.
