Chapter 97 Leaving



Wen Jingchi stood indifferently by the side, thinking about the scene where Ouyang Yu gave her a gift just now, and sneered coldly.

"Chu Weiyue, you are really good at flirting. You have been here for a short time and you are already entangled with Ouyang Yu. You are really amazing."

She was already feeling angry, and now being scolded by him, Chu Weiyue's anger instantly escalated.

She looked up at him arrogantly: "If I wasn't powerful, would the emperor have granted me marriage? Isn't it a little too late for you to realize how powerful I am now?"

Looking at the dirty mud on her hands, Wen Jingchi's expression eased a little, but still showed some dissatisfaction.

"Okay, I won't tell you about what happened just now. Why did you leave in anger? Do you know that it will make others worry?"

The last two words made Chu Weiyue couldn't help but sneer.

"Your Highness, are you worried about me, or are you worried that I will cause you trouble?"

Such a sentence made Wen Jingchi speechless.

He wanted to answer the former, but hesitated for a moment and glanced at Chu Weiyue casually.

"Of course it's the latter, what else do you think?"

For some unknown reason, he added another sentence.

"Since you insist on coming, please don't cause us any more trouble. I am here to do business, not to travel."

His sharp words were like a loud slap in the face, hitting Chu Weiyue hard.

I had thought Wen Jingchi would be anxious because he couldn't find her, but I never expected that he would say such a thing.

She was even more foolish to think that after so long, Wen Jingchi must have some feelings for her.

But now it seems that she was wrong again. Not only did this man have no feelings for her, but he also hated her.

Unexplained disappointment surrounded Chu Weiyue.

There was a hint of sadness in her eyes, and then she left without saying anything and without looking back.

The moment he turned around, he rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction.

Watching Chu Weiyue's departing back, Wen Jingchi's expression changed unpredictably, and even he himself couldn't tell what emotion it was.

He seemed worried, but more angry.

Back in the room, Chu Weiyue recalled the scene just now, grabbed the water cup beside her and slammed it heavily on the table: "Wen Jingchi, damn straight man!"

She was indeed disappointed and very angry just now.

But on second thought, if he didn't have any worries, he would definitely turn a blind eye.

Just like in the past, no matter how hard you try, he can't get excited at all.

She could clearly sense that he might be a little worried, but this stupid straight man just refused to admit it!

After complaining for a while, Chu Weiyue didn't have time to deal with him and went straight to find Ouyang Feng.

Seeing Chu Weiyue coming over, Ouyang Feng was slightly stunned, and instinctively thought that he was going to cause trouble again.

"Miss, does the prince want to talk to me about something?"

His hand holding the water cup trembled subconsciously.

"It's not the prince looking for you, it's me who has something to ask you. I want to borrow your study." Chu Weiyue's tone was calm and steady.

She had long heard that the Ouyang family's study was comparable to a national treasury.

Although no one in their family is well-educated, this kind of scene makes a big difference.

After hearing this, Ouyang Feng finally felt relieved.

"So that's how it is. Of course, no problem. If you like me, I'll give you the key now. You can go and read whenever you want. Please say good things about me to the prince."

Ouyang Feng took out a bunch of keys in a slick manner and stuffed them into Chu Weiyue's hands.

She just glanced at him coldly, responded casually, and strode towards the study.

When the butler brought Chu Weiyue to the study, he almost doubted what he saw.

The entire attic is filled with all kinds of books, classified into different categories.

What puzzled Chu Weiyue was the thick layer of dust on the top layer of books. The table was also dirty, as if no one had been there for a long time.

The housekeeper pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly: "I'm so sorry, our master and the young masters are busy with business and have no time to read, so please go ahead, young lady."

She nodded calmly and let him go.

Chu Weiyue closed the door and began to search everywhere.

Fortunately, there is a wide variety of books here.

When I got to the top floor, I found that it was full of books about farming and growing vegetables.

Chu Weiyue's eyes lit up and he immediately picked up one of the books and studied it carefully.

The book was obviously quite old and the handwriting was not particularly clear. Many of the characters were traditional Chinese, some of which she could not recognize.

I searched for a whole day but still couldn't find any clues.

I rubbed my temples and looked at the sky, then I decided to go back and rest.

The next day, I continued to lock myself in the study and went nowhere.

It was not until late at night that I found a book about how farmers' tools were made.

Seeing a tool that looked like something sharp, Chu Weiyue's eyes flickered slightly.

"Isn't this what the farmer used? It looks exactly the same."

After careful recollection, I can almost be sure that the tools he used at that time were exactly the same as those in the book, and other tools were almost the same, but these tools were all used for digging mines.

This surprised Chu Weiyue: "It turns out that the reason he was there was to try to dig a mine."

If he were an ordinary farmer, how could he know such profound knowledge?

Since the farmer was able to dig a mine and had special tools, he must be an expert at it.

If there was no underground water source, it would be impossible for the farmer to dig a mine in that place. He must have certain evidence to do so.

Late at night, Wen Jingchi sat in the room drinking with Shen Mubai.

Shen Mubai couldn't help but complain: "By the way, did you see Chu Weiyue today? I don't think I have seen her for two days."

Wen Jingchi said nothing, but drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

Shen Mubai understood something instantly and laughed: "I knew it, it must be because you two had a fight. Tell me how you offended her."

I didn't want to say more about this, but Shen Mubai kept chattering on and on, so I could only briefly recount the whole story.

After listening, Shen Mubai sighed deeply, patted Wen Jingchi's shoulders lightly a few times, and gave him a look of contempt.

"You're going too far. You're obviously worried about her, but you still talk to her like that. Don't you know that women need to be coaxed? If you were an outsider, you could say that, but you're her fiancé, and it's too sad to say that."

"Who asked her to leave quietly without saying a word? If something happened, it would only cause trouble."

Wen Jingchi frowned in annoyance.

Shen Mubai saw through his heart, but he knew better that Wen Jingchi didn't like others to speak directly, so he just smiled and left.
