When everyone returned to the He Mansion, He Wei had just finished his work.
He first spoke to Yan Xi, asking him to calm down and relax during this period of time, and also revealed some of the words that the invigilator had said to him before.
It turned out that the invigilator who had watched him answer the questions before thought that he answered the questions well, so when he met He Wei in the morning court, he praised Yan Xi in front of him.
There was praise in his words. Judging from He Wei's many years of experience as an official, he would not do too badly in this exam.
After the father and son finished talking, He Wei realized that there was a strange boy sitting there, and he was slightly stunned.
Seeing this, Yan Xi immediately understood and hurriedly introduced, "Father, this is my junior fellow apprentice Xiao Jin."
"Your junior brother..." Upon hearing this, He Wei's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Lou Jinchuan, and an incomprehensible emotion emerged, but quickly disappeared.
Lou Jinchuan lowered his eyebrows slightly and saluted him, "Your humble servant greets the Prime Minister."
"No need to be so polite." He Wei quickly helped him up with a smile on his face.
Lou Jinchuan was a little stunned by such a friendly attitude, "Thank you, sir."
He Wei withdrew his hand and stared at him closely. "Young man, you look quite young. I wonder how old you are?"
"To answer your question, sir, I am fourteen years old this year." Lou Jinchuan looked at his burning eyes and always felt something was weird.
"Fourteen..." He Wei seemed to be lost in thought. "It's rare to find someone so handsome and talented at such a young age."
Yan Xi looked at the atmosphere and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Something is wrong.
Something is wrong.
His father doesn't seem like the kind of person who is warm to everyone he meets.
Could it be that... he recognized Lou Jinchuan?
Yan Xi looked at the boy's face.
That's impossible.
Lou Jinchuan was wearing a human skin mask, and no matter from which angle you looked at him, you couldn't see any trace of his childhood.
Moreover, this was the first time the two had met in many years. To his father, Lou Jinchuan was already a stranger, so it was not right for him to be so friendly.
Or is it because Lou Jinchuan is his master's apprentice?
Yan Xi couldn't figure it out.
At the following dinner, He Wei became talkative, always talking to Lou Jinchuan intentionally or unintentionally, and almost got all of his recent situation out of him.
The more Yan Xi looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Could it be that his father knew about Lou Jinchuan's existence early on?
If this is the case, there are only two possibilities.
The first possibility is that from the very beginning, he arranged for experts to protect Lou Jinchuan in secret, so his father knew everything about how he contacted Lou Jinchuan and took Lou Jinchuan away.
The second possibility is that his frequent interactions with Lou Jinchuan attracted his father's attention early on. For his safety, he once sent people to investigate Lou Jinchuan's background.
Although he had shut the mouths of the beggars in the dilapidated temple, it did not mean that they would not speak for other reasons.
After all, only the dead cannot speak, and he was unable to bear the ruthlessness at the time, leaving behind troubles.
This is nothing. It would be fine if he was the only one who knew about Lou Jinchuan’s existence. But I’m afraid that someone with evil intentions would know about this.
Thinking of this, Yan Xi's mood instantly became bad.
Because he was afraid that his momentary kindness would bring unnecessary harm to his life.
He was a little absent-minded throughout the entire dinner.
Perhaps He Wei and Lou Jinchuan had a very pleasant chat, so Lou Jinchuan was invited to stay at He's house for one night.
Yan Xi had no chance to interrupt at all, which made him even more annoyed.
No, he had to make a new human skin mask for Lou Jinchuan and give him a new identity and address to avoid arousing suspicion.
