Shen Mubai couldn't help but chuckle a few times, and looking at the two people's expressions, he looked very pleased like a loving mother.

"Sorry, I'm here at a bad time. How about I leave now and let the two of you continue while I put some smoke to liven up the atmosphere?"

He said this in a joking manner.

"If you have something to say, say it. If not, leave immediately."

Wen Jingchi was very angry when his good thing was interrupted, and he yelled at him.

Shen Mubai clicked his tongue a few times: "I'm wrong, I'm sorry for disturbing your intimacy."

"It's good that you know. If you have something to say, just say it. Otherwise, leave now and don't disturb us."

Chu Weiyue didn't feel shy at this time, but rather a little angry.

She was already embarrassed enough, but who would have thought that Shen Mubai not only did not leave quickly, but also deliberately slandered them.

Her violent temper cannot be tolerated for a moment!

Shen Mubai clicked his tongue and at this moment he became the most embarrassed one.

He immediately sneered: "Okay, okay, you two are of one mind, I am just an outsider, I won't talk to you anymore, I came here this time to tell you something important."

He set his gaze on Chu Weiyue, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Wen Jingchi.

Obviously this is a big deal, and it is not convenient for Chu Weiyue, a woman, to listen here.

Chu Weiyue understood what he meant and stood up straight: "You guys can talk slowly. I'm going to eat something. I'm a little hungry."

He rubbed his belly and was about to leave sensibly, but Wen Jingchi grabbed his wrist.

Instead, he glared at Shen Mubai with dissatisfaction: "She is going to be my concubine. She is one of ours. You can rest assured."

Such a sentence was like a warm spring breeze, making Chu Weiyue feel gentle instantly, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Wen Jingchi was different.

Shen Mubai's eyes widened in shock, unable to believe that their relationship had reached this level.

"What on earth did I miss? You were fighting fiercely before, why are you now..."

Looking at the two of them holding hands, people who don’t know them would think they have been married for a long time and are a loving couple.

"Okay, get down to business."

Wen Jingchi didn't have much patience. He wanted to get intimate with Chu Weiyue later, so he didn't want to waste time talking to him.

Although Wen Jingchi did not shy away from it, Shen Mubai still had some reservations.

"Wei Yue, I'm not avoiding you, nor am I afraid that you will tell this secret. I just think that as a woman, it's not good for you to hear these words. The less you know, the safer you will be. Don't think that I'm not a good friend..."

He repeatedly explained the situation, and Chu Weiyue nodded calmly.

"No need to explain. I know that you men don't like women to interrupt you when you discuss things. Just go ahead and I'll just listen."

She sat obediently beside Wen Jingchi, took his arm, and poured a cup of tea for them both.

Shen Mubai picked up the tea and took a sip, then he let out a long sigh.

"I have already found out that the person behind this is probably the prince's tutor Liu Yang. In any case, this matter cannot be separated from the prince."

Wen Jingchi nodded calmly: "That's right, just as I guessed. I'm afraid there would be no one else except him who could have such power and make Ouyang Feng so afraid. He is the only one who would have such ambition."

"But then again, there is one thing that I find very strange. The Crown Prince is of noble status, and the last thing he is short of is money, women, or the land in the north. Why would he want to extend his hand to the north?"

Shen Mubai scratched his hair, puzzled.

Wen Jingchi frowned, obviously he was also stumped and didn't know what the prince meant by doing this.

Just when the two were discussing most intensely, Chu Weiyue said something shocking.

"What else could it be? To raise money, he must have done something shameless, such as raising soldiers privately, casting weapons, etc. An ambitious person like him must have prepared a way out for himself!

Throughout the ages, how many people have felt that their status was in jeopardy, and the first thing they had to do was to ensure their own wealth and glory. If they could not obtain what they wanted in an open and aboveboard way, they would have to use a private way to achieve their goal..."

Although she did not say the word "treason" directly, the hint should not be too obvious.

Hearing her say this, Wen Jingchi's eyes flickered slightly.

"You are right. He may be afraid that his position as crown prince will be taken away one day. As long as he has a large number of troops and enough money, he can revolt and take back the throne."

Shen Mubai was very frightened and drank some tea to calm himself down.

"This prince is too bold. If the emperor knew about this, he would be beheaded. Even if he is the prince, he can't escape."

This made Wen Jingchi laugh coldly: "Do you think he will come forward himself? Even if we investigate further, the person who comes out may be the one who takes the blame for him."

"What should we do? We can't let him end up with nothing and not pay any price."

Shen Mubai widened his eyes and spoke angrily.

Wen Jingchi was not nervous at all. Instead, he calmly picked up the tea, put it to his lips and took a sip.

"Don't worry too much. I will send someone back to Beijing to investigate this matter. The officials involved in the Ouyang family have been dealt with almost completely. You can tell them to punish them according to the law."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Shen Mubai didn't react and turned to leave. When he reached the door, he suddenly realized something. He clenched his fists in anger and glared at Wen Jingchi fiercely.

"Wen Jingchi, you are so unkind. I am not your guard. Why did you leave this task to me?"

"You can choose not to go, but I heard that Mr. Song is currently looking for a husband for his daughter Song Qiuchang. He and I have a good personal relationship, so my words are the most effective..."

He didn't say the rest, but the implication was too obvious.

Shen Mubai gritted his teeth in anger: "Okay, you are awesome, I will leave now and not disturb you two young lovers."

He snorted arrogantly and turned away angrily.

The rest was all Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi's private time together.

The two of them were so attached to each other that they wished they could be together forever.

At the same time, the well was almost built, and Chu Weiyue and Wen Jingchi went to check it out as soon as possible.

Looking at the well from which water had been dug, Wen Jingchi finally revealed a faint smile.

"Great! We finally found some water. The people here can survive this drought."

With water, they no longer have to worry about not having enough water to irrigate their crops.

But Song Qiancheng on the side sighed helplessly.

Wen Jingchi's attention was drawn to him: "Song Qiancheng, why are you sighing? Isn't it a good thing to build a well?"
