"Thank you for accompanying me." Chen Huayi ruffled his hair. "When I think of my master, I can't keep my composure."

Han Yan shrugged. "It's human nature, what's there to be embarrassed about?"

Chen Huayi muttered in a low voice, "The young prince is already very frustrated to begin with. I'll even add fuel to the fire for him."

Han Yan didn't seem to care too much about it. "If he wants to investigate the matter of the Mansion of the Marquis, he will eventually find out about those old memories."

Chen Huayi glanced at him and said, "I say, do you know something?"

Han Yan looked at him sideways, "What do I know? It's all from twelve or thirteen years ago, so you don't have to think about it to know it's relevant. " He thought for a while and added, "After all, this is a disaster that has engulfed half of the martial arts world. So, there is no way to let this go."

Chen Huayi lazily thought about it and casually replied, "That's true."

Han Yan said, "Alright, don't think about those useless things. Go quickly. There's still a bunch of things waiting for you..." "Be careful!"

His warning was still a little too late. Chen Huayi slammed into the chest of a person and was forced a few steps back. Han Yan's pupils constricted. He did not bother to help Chen Huayi as his gaze fell on the person who was hit.

The man who had hurriedly and accidentally been hit by Chen Huayi looked at Chen Huayi as if he had just woken up. His body unexpectedly did not sway; he only stared at them in a daze.

Looking at his luxurious clothes, Chen Huayi could vaguely guess his identity. He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "My apologies, I did not notice you."

Wen Wan looked him up and down, frowning. "What's your name?"

Chen Huayi did not expect him to directly ask for his name. After being startled for a moment, he said, "Chen Huayi."

"Chen Huayi." "Where have we seen each other?"

Chen Huayi looked stunned. After a long while, he finally said, "I don't know."

Wen Wan sighed lightly and stepped aside. "It's probably because I didn't sleep well, so I guess I was wrong. I'm sorry for bumping into you."

Chen Huayi asked carefully, "Can I leave now?"

Wen Wan looked at him strangely, and then suddenly said: "If you two sirs have nothing to do, I will treat you two to a cup of tea as an apology?"

Han Yan hurriedly interjected, "This lowly official still has important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now." He gave Chen Huayi a look and left with him.

Wen Wan patted his forehead and muttered: "Why does it feel so familiar?" Shaking his head, he walked forward. "I've started to let my imagination run wild again. Why don't I go back and sleep for a while?"

"What is Big Brother Wen muttering about?" Is Zi Yu awake? "

Wen Wan turned his head and saw Bai Zhen looking at him strangely. He pinched the center of his brows and said, "What are you awake for? I didn't sleep last night, I just got some rest."

Bai Zhen asked, "Could it be that you've also been awake this entire time?"

It would be better if he didn't say anything. Wen Wan yawned, "Isn't it? I was going to go see your father and then go to sleep for a while. "

Bai Zhen asked curiously, "Brother Wen, what do you need from Father?"

Wen Wan said, "Didn't you say that Feng Xuan is mainly doing business with us? I thought about it for a few days, and decided that it would be better to settle this matter before my father arrives, and save the time to explain it to him. "

Bai Zhen laughed. "So you agree to this matter?"

Wen Wan nodded. "I think this transaction is very reasonable. We can discuss this with Uncle Bai for a while, in a few days I'll personally go to the Wind Cloud Pavilion."

Bai Zhen looked at him and could not help but yawn. "Why do I feel like you haven't slept for more than one night?"

Wen Wan covered his mouth with his hand and yawned. "Isn't that so? "You should just drop the matter of the cruise liner once Master Hou is in trouble. Should I clean up this mess?"

Only then did Bai Zhen recall that the matter of the pleasure boat had not been dealt with. Embarrassed, he said, "I forgot."

With his other hand, Wen Wan fished out a paper bag. "This is just right, this is for you."

Bai Zhen opened it and took a look. "What is this?"

Wen Wan said, "A few big customers sent us invitations, inviting us to go over to discuss business. It's been a long time since we sent it over. I wrote each letter apologetically, then told them I would be sure to call in a few days later. Take a look. Come with me when you have time. If you don't have the time, I'll take your place. Write out your interest in business and intentions to me. I'll negotiate it for you. "

Bai Zhen hesitated. "Is that good? Brother Wen, do you still need to take care of Zi Yu? "

Wen Wan sighed softly. "He's so annoyed with me right now, he wants to bite me to death."

Bai Zhen was stunned. "Why did you bite to death?"

Wen Wan said indifferently: "Because he always drops things, I tied him up." After pausing for a moment, he added, "Oh right, he smashed all the tea vases and things like that. I got someone to buy one and brought it back to the warehouse. "Right now, in his room, I have bought a cart of rough porcelain bowls for one tael of silver, so I intentionally smashed it for him. You don't have to exchange it for him."

The corners of Bai Zhen's lips trembled, "There are so many in those vase houses, what else are we going to buy?"

Wen Wan said, "Wen Ning has nothing better to do, so I let him buy it while I'm at it."

Bai Zhen recalled the figure that had been running all over the place and felt extremely helpless. "Why didn't I see Wen Ning today?"

"Oh, I sent him to deliver the letter. He should be back soon." Wen Wan finally stopped yawning, his spirit had also improved a bit, he was clearly more clear-headed, "Are you looking for him? When he comes back, I'll tell him to come and find you? "

Bai Zhen hurriedly waved his hand. "No, no, no, I was just casually asking. Big Brother Wen, quickly go find father, I'll go see Qing Han. "

"Don't forget to read the letter. If you have any ideas, come to me at any time and tell me that I should stay in my room."

Bai Ju said, "Oh, okay. I'll finish it as soon as possible."

Wen Wan patted his face and asked, "You don't seem very sleepy, do you?"

Bai Zhen looked at Wen Wan, whose expression was no different from usual, and nodded. "Very spirited."

Wen Wan relaxed. "That's good." After tidying up his clothes, he headed for the study.

"I came at the right time. I was just looking for you." Upon seeing Wen Wan walk in, Bai Yan Tang smiled tiredly, pointing at a nearby chair, "Take a seat."

Wen Wan thanked him, sat down on the chair, and asked: "Uncle, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to hide it from Zhen`er."

Wen Wan understood what he meant after a moment. "Was it a prophecy left behind by the previous generation of Trojan lords?"

"After all, it was a prophecy that shocked half of the martial arts world. Now, the third twelve years have come. Even if we hide it from him, I'm afraid we won't be able to. "

Wen Wan pondered for a moment. "Uncle, since this matter has been suppressed, even if this matter was known, it would at least be a year or two later. At that time, it is no longer important for him to know or not. "

"I'm not afraid that he'll find out." He wanted to say something but hesitated.

Wen Wan was puzzled. "Then who else could it be?"

"Zhao Qingyan." Bai Yutang sighed, "You can't underestimate him. He really has too many connections with those people back then. As long as he wanted to investigate, he would find out. If, because of his intervention, the royal family is aware that what the Manchu house has been hiding for so many years is not over, then... "

Wen Wan pursed his lips. "Has Uncle considered confessing this matter to the Young Prince?"

There was a complicated look on Bai Yan Tang's face, "Either we keep him a secret from the end, or we tell him everything. There is no other way. But, do you dare to gamble? Do you dare to bet that once he knows the truth, he will stand with us? "

Wen Wan replied, "Palace Head Ran and Jiang Wuyan are the young prince's close friends, and also Lu Sobbing, the son of Palace Head Mo. If the matter from back then was brought up again, it would be hard for any of them to escape death. Regardless of how important both Lü Sobbing and Tang Xiao were to him, Palace Lord Ran alone should be able to make him spare us, right? Without Palace Lord Ran and his uncle, how could he have survived until today? He shouldn't be so ungrateful, right? "

"If only it was that easy." White Yutang shook his head with a bitter smile. At the end of the day, I also entered the court to use the convenience of the capital to cover up those shameful things. Even if Tong Xuan were to stay by his side and protect him in every possible way, he would still feel guilty for using him. Which was more important? "Who's wrong or who's wrong?"

Wen Wan hesitated. "But …"

"I know what you mean. This incident did not harm Zhao Qing Yan at all, but if it were to be discovered by the imperial government, we would all have to die. So, as long as he still has a bit of an old friendship, he won't sit back and watch, right? "

Wen Wan nodded. "Am I wrong?"

Bai Yan Tang sighed, "I don't know either …" However, his surname was still Zhao. He was the son of the Qi King, the most beloved nephew of the sect. Who would he believe in my words and the words of Ren Zong? "

Wen Wan closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said slowly, "At least, there is still room for good intentions before he discovers this. "But if he continues to hide it like this, as long as he discovers it one day, then …"

"Do you want to bet everything on Zhao Qingyan in exchange for a chance at survival?"

Wen Wan was slightly startled. "I'm just a little worried. Your uncle will decide how to do it."

"I had thought that you would be the first to make this choice. Where did your courage go in doing such a thing? "

Wen Wan's pupils suddenly contracted. A moment later, he smiled helplessly: "Uncle, it's just that you think too strongly of me."

"You can leave at any time. I've never kept you here."

Wen Wan shook his head. "I can't just watch my uncle die."

"I also don't want you to die," said Bai Yutang indifferently.

Wen Wan turned his head, and looked at him seriously: "I said I would like to stand by my uncle's side, and die together with you. I'm not in a difficult situation, and I'm not afraid of death. I am also a sinner in the past, so I have to pay the price for what I have done. "

"You didn't have to. You didn't do anything wrong." The latter frowned, interrupting his words.

Wen Wan smiled lightly. "There will always be someone who will help me repay my master's sins."

"I alone am enough."

Wen Wan replied, "I know, so I will only go up when you can't take it anymore. I don't know how many people I can protect by myself, but as long as I still have a sliver of life left, I will definitely not let those people who should not be implicated be harmed. "

"Still alive?" "Can't you trust me this once? "Can't you believe that I can endure all of this?"

Wen Wan lowered his eyes, concealing everything in his sight. "I cannot afford to fail."

Bai Yutang sighed and didn't insist: "This box was given to Zhen`er by Mu Xi for safekeeping. There was a letter for me. What's left is to give the items to Xia Qingshang. "

"Big brother Xia …" Wen Wan was dazed for a moment, but quickly recovered. "What is it?"

"I haven't seen it yet, and it's not suitable. As for this letter … " After a moment of hesitation, he slowly continued, "He wanted me to exchange this letter with Zhao Qingyan after Qing Han married Zhao Qingyan. He also told me to marry Qing Han no matter what."

Wen Wan was not surprised by this result and nodded: "What else?"

He picked up the letter, which was over thirty sheets of paper thick, and scrawled on it: "He wrote down the sequence of events from that year, and asked Zhao Qingyan to forgive us for everything we've done."

Wen Wan's complexion changed. His face was pale, without a trace of blood.
