"Fei'er, where is your new wife?Why didn't I go home with you?" Xiao Wanlin was relieved when he saw that Xiao Fei's face suddenly became relaxed, but he suddenly asked such a sentence without a beginning.

Xiao Fei's heart tightened, and this matter was still noticed by them, which also showed that although he was more careful, his whereabouts were still exposed, at least in Anqing, or even earlier.

"Back to my father's words, for various reasons, the little sister did not join the child. Xu has already arrived in Hangzhou City, maybe two or three days. Although the child arranged a master by her side, the safety of the trip should be worry-free, but the past two days have indeed been lost. ”

"I'll just have it in order. Xiao Wanlin replied casually, and there was no other reaction, which made Xiao Fei feel worried from the bottom of his heart.

"Alright, Fei'er. There is a saying that 'ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws', these days you pay more attention to her whereabouts, once you arrive in Hangzhou, immediately take it into the house, let me and your father have a good look, what kind of outstanding daughter's family can make my family Fei'er look at it differently. Old Madam Xiao patted Xiao Fei's arm and smiled.

"Yes, the child obeys," Xiao Fei didn't think about Xiao Wanlin's abnormality, and joked with his mother with a smile, "I'm afraid that the mother will not be satisfied with her daughter-in-law, but it will embarrass the child." ”

Looking at the children who grew up, how could Mrs. Xiao not know Xiao Fei's careful thoughts, and smiled happily, "If you are embarrassed, you will be embarrassed, anyway, you choose it yourself, no matter whether you are dissatisfied with your mother, you also have to live with Hemeimei for a lifetime." If you dare to do what he thinks, see that your mother will not break your legs!" Although the words were stern, the smile on his face could not be hidden.

At this time, Xiao Teng, who was waiting on the side, also interjected, "Mother, this sister-in-law hasn't entered the door of our Xiao family yet, you will talk to her! It seems that in the Xiao family in the future, the life of the three of us big men will be sad." ”

"Stinky boy, what are you talking about!" Old Madam Xiao patted her little son's head in a feigned anger, and then laughed heartily with her sleeves covering her mouth.

The three fathers and sons of the Xiao family laughed happily when they saw the housewife's laughter, and they also laughed together.

In other words, Xiao Fei has been back in Xiao Mansion for three full days. In the past three days, Xiao Mansion has been as calm and undisturbed as when Xiao Fei was at home before. But Xiao Fei felt that there were all kinds of weirdness behind this calm.

Xiao Fei himself, first had a reunion dinner with his family, and then went back to his room to rest. On the second day, I went to the Xiao family in Hangzhou City to check the accounts for a morning, and naturally it was easy and easy, and those old account rooms did not have the ability to schem in front of Xiao Gongzi. After returning to the house for lunch, Xiao Fei sent a few servants to the homes of several old friends to send invitations, and in the evening Xiao's house held a banquet to entertain the eldest prince's Shilin friends, singing and dancing, and staying all night. The night's overnight drink did not bring any negative physical effects to Xiao Fei, and early this morning, he took his family member Xiao Jian to another property of the Xiao family to check the situation.

Xiao Wanlin, on the other hand, has been cultivating himself at home, playing chess, fishing, and sometimes asking a few old friends to come to enjoy calligraphy, painting, and antiques.

Since Xiao Fei came home, Mrs. Xiao has always revolved around her eldest son, or asked people to take all kinds of Xiao Fei's daily customary colors and fabrics from the silk village, and instructed all kinds of skilled tailors to tailor Xiao Fei's clothes; or when Xiao Fei was not at home, she led a large group of maids and mothers-in-law to the kitchen, prepared various supplements and soups for Xiao Fei, and waited for her son to come home to enjoy; Or, call Xiao Fei, mother and son strolled in the garden, and listened to Xiao Fei talk about the strange things on the rivers and lakes, or the situation of his daughter-in-law.

Xiao Teng, who has no heart and no lungs, has spent the past three days quite according to his own heart. When the eldest brother comes back, my father will not force himself to practice and do accounts all day long! If he wants to go out to play, he can go out to play, and if he wants to practice martial arts, he can practice martial arts, and the eldest brother can still instruct himself in a few swordsmanship when he is free, and his group of playmates and drinking friends will no longer laugh at him for being controlled by the family and dare not go out.

Xiao Fei took his companion Xiao Jian, and after finishing his business, he wandered around Hangzhou City for a while. Xiao Jian knew that his eldest son had always been a person with ideas, and he didn't dare to say anything, and he would follow him wherever the son went. The son is used to being pure and inactive, and it is rare to have such a Yaxing, so he will go.

The master and servant first wandered on the street for a while, and Xiao Fei selectively inquired about the prices of goods in several shops and stalls, and also chatted with some shopkeepers. I also met an article confidant in a certain art gallery, and I was also very interested in talking about poetry. In the end, seeing that the sun had set in the sky, Xiao Fei was thirsty, so Xiao Jian led the way and found a rather elegant tea house to drink two pots of tea.

When the two returned to Xiao's Mansion, it was less than half an hour away from the usual dinner time at home. Xiao Fei sent Xiao Jian to retreat and take a bath and change clothes by himself. I had dinner just now, and I wanted to talk to my mother about family life again, so I was called to the study by Xiao Wanlin.

In the study, the father and son sat opposite each other and drank tea, Xiao Wanlin waved his hand to let the little servant who was waiting on the side step back, and looked at Xiao Fei, "Fei'er, don't you have anything to say to your father?"

Xiao Fei was stunned when he heard this, and put down the teacup, "I don't know what my father said?"

Xiao Wanlin seemed to have known his son's reaction for a long time, with an inexplicable smile on his face, he lifted the teapot to add tea to himself, and took a sip before saying, "Or, don't you have anything to ask your father?"

"What does my father mean by this?" Xiao Fei looked directly at Xiao Wanlin.

"What do you mean? Xiao Wanlin saw the attitude of his eldest son, and couldn't help but feel a little more happy in his heart, this kid grew up since he was a child, Yunwen Yunwu was extremely talented, and even the ability to do business, after learning from himself for two years, he was also blue, plain and very assertive, and rarely asked his father in trouble, which made Xiao Wanlin feel a lot of loss, and he couldn't find a sense of accomplishment in Xiao Fei who grew up as a father. Could it be that the heirs cultivated by the eldest brother Shangguan Fengxue are so good?

However, Xiao Wanlin didn't continue to tease Xiao Fei, and raised his hand to fill the eldest son's teacup, "These days, haven't you been secretly observing at home, looking for clues about your self-righteousness?"

"My son just wants to feel the atmosphere of the house more, and my father should know that I won't be able to stay long when I go home this time. Xiao Fei didn't have any fluctuations in his words, straightened his body, and didn't move the tea cup in front of him.

Xiao Wanlin was also noncommittal, shook his head with a smile, and continued, "Fei'er, Zhizi Mo Ruo's father! Yesterday we invited everyone to a banquet, during the banquet, you thanked those students for taking more care of the Xiao family during your mother's illness, and these nerds talked about the secrets of the Xiao Mansion that they heard from the people during that time; Hehehe, Fei'er, you have been independent since you were a child, and your father has sent you four scholars and two long-term followers, but you didn't let them follow you, and now you are still working as a bookkeeper in various stores after your training. This time, he actually shouted that Xiao Jian went out with you, I guess even Teng'er's stupid boy felt strange. ”

Xiao Fei was speechless.

"Anyway, what do you want to know?" Xiao Wanlin also put down the teacup in his hand, straightened his waist, and sat upright.

"Could it be that what the child has done in the past three days is so ridiculous in your eyes? Just like a child playing at home?" Xiao Fei smiled bitterly and asked the father opposite.

"No, I don't think it's ridiculous, I'm just sad, is being a father so unworthy of your trust as a prince?" Xiao Wanlin's tone was calm, but when he said it, he was not angry but threatening.

"It's not a matter of trust, no matter what happens in the future, you will always be my father!" Xiao Fei knew that his behavior had been misunderstood by Xiao Wanlin, and quickly explained, "The child is just afraid that you will be taken advantage of by others." ”

"Hehe, the authorities are fandom?" Xiao Wanlin stroked his beard, and his words were full of rebelliousness, not like a fifty-year-old man, "The old man has experienced ups and downs over the years, and no one has ever said that I am a fan of the authorities, including my partners and enemies!"

"The child has great respect for his father's Wen Taowu, but this time the matter is extraordinary, because it involves the mother who has been with you for half your life," Xiao Fei's sincere eyes stared at Xiao Wanlin, "Therefore, the child has scruples in this regard." This is also the reason why the child checks on the mother's body outside the city before entering the city, believing that the child's methods have not hidden your eyes. ”

"Of course, it is precisely when my father saw this scene that he believed that you have not changed, and you are still the Fei'er of me and your mother a year ago," Xiao Wanlin smiled slightly, "but this is not enough to explain what you have done in the past three days. Say, what the hell are you worried about?"

"Father, the child's worries come from the two letters you have written to me. After all the words were said, Xiao Fei would no longer hide it.

"Are the two letters about your mother's illness?" Xiao Wanlin thought for a moment, as if he was recalling the contents of the letter, and said after a while, "There is nothing suspicious about the contents of the letter, right? The letter is written by my father, you should be able to confirm the handwriting, and the signature should be the same as before." ”

"There is nothing wrong with this, but the information revealed in the letter is still not right!" Xiao Fei insisted on his opinion.

"Okay, let's talk about it, what's wrong. ”

"First of all, it is the mother's body, before the child left home, she had been carefully examined for her body, very healthy, but in just a few months, she got the strange illness mentioned in the father's letter, which is a bit intriguing; second, when the child received the letter, although he had doubts, he still hurried back, but immediately your second letter arrived, saying that there was a strange person who helped to save the mother, the mother was fine, and the child was relieved, but the time when this person appeared was not right, and the time when the two letters were sent was only five days apart. Xiao Fei took a sip of tea that was still warm, cleared his mind, and continued, "In the end, with the father's understanding of the child's medical skills, he should not believe that others are, but in just a few days, you let him heal the mother when you knew that the child was about to go home, this is not your father's style of doing things, and you did not explain the reason to the child in the second letter." ”

"So that's the case," Xiao Wanlin listened to Xiao Fei's explanation and nodded slowly, but he didn't expect Xiao Fei to have so many doubts based on just two letters, "It seems that it was a father's omission." Your mother's illness, although sudden, is not much strange: a few months ago, the caravan from the South Seas returned, bringing some native products from the South Seas, and your mother was ill due to food constraints, and Lang Zhong, a local in Hangzhou, could not find out the cause for a while...... Then why don't you just ask about the father? Are you doubting the father?"

"Father, as I said before, this is not your style of doing things. Therefore, I suspect that you have been blackmailed, or that a traitor has blinded your wisdom, which is why I ......"

Xiao Wanlin raised his hand to interrupt Xiao Fei's words, "What now? Now you still hold on to your suspicions?"

"No, since I confirmed that my mother is okay, I have slowly cleared up all kinds of doubts in my heart. It wasn't until I was outside the study just now that I was sure that the Xiao Mansion was safe and that my family was safe. ”

"Hehe, Fei'er, as a father, I can't say that you are a little too careful, you should indeed be careful when walking the rivers and lakes. But this incident really almost caused a gap between you and my father and son. ”

"This is the child's fault, which worries the father. Xiao Fei lowered his head to admit his mistake, but immediately raised his head and asked, "Father can tell the child now, which master healed the mother?"

Xiao Wanlin's smile froze, "This, my father really can't tell you......"
