C83 Want to hear a story? (2/2)

”What a pity.” Pu Xin sighed, ”This Shen Qi can be considered quite a character.”

”Master Hou said that it's an interesting story. It can't be that he's referring to Shen Qi's experiences, right?” Yuwen Fei looked at Pu Xin coldly.

”What is it? Seventh Prince doesn't like to hear it? ” Pu Xin poured a cup of hot tea for himself and warmed it in his hands as he smiled at him.

Smiling Face! Yuwen Fei secretly cursed, and his gaze gradually darkened, and said in a heavy voice: ”It's not that I don't like him, but it's just that Master often whispers his glorious deeds in his ear, and I'm tired of listening to it. How about I tell Master Hou a lesson, that's definitely more interesting than this.”

”Oh?” Pu Xin raised his eyebrows and looked at Yuwen Fei, the smile on his face still as warm as the spring wind.

”Does the marquis know where I caught this mouse?” Yuwen Fei pointed to the rats in the iron cage and asked.

Pu Xin looked at the mouse, shook his head, and asked: ”Where?”

”Cloud Locking Pavilion.”

But Pu Xin only looked at him indifferently, waiting for him to continue.

Yuwen Fei handed the mouse over to Yun Jing and laid back on the chair in a crooked manner. He opened the paper fan in his hand and shook it slowly, looking satisfied.

The situation between the two of them was completely the same as before.

Although Yuwen Fei was smiling, his eyes were ice-cold. Looking at the water vapor in front of him, he slowly said: ”Speaking of which, it's a coincidence, I met someone in Cloud Locking Pavilion. Why don't you guess who that person is?”

After Pu Xin heard this, he did not look up at him. Instead, he turned the cup in his hand, causing the temperature of the tea to slowly change. He lifted the tea cup and took a shallow sip before replying, ”I guess … It's the Shentidol. ”

”Pah!” The paper fan in Yuwen Fei's hand retracted all of a sudden, and like a storyteller's wood, a crisp sound came out, ”Master Hou's guess is right! It is the Shentidol! ”

”How about you guess again what this Shentidol told me?”

Pu Xin gave a shallow smile, ”How could this Pu Xin guess?”

”Master Hou can guess.” Yuwen Fei said with a face full of certainty, ”Since Master Hou was able to find out Bei Ling's informant in the capital, I believe that Master Hou must have also been able to guess that the Shentidol was hiding some sort of trump card.”

”Pu Xin can't guess.”

The fire on the stove had gradually died down, and the water vapor had slowly dissipated.

There was a sudden gust of cold wind, rattling the doors and windows. Pu Xin was blown away by the wind and started to cough non-stop.

When the servants who had been guarding outside heard Pu Xin's voice, they hurried in and closed the windows. Some of them started fire while others took out cloaks.

The originally quiet room immediately became lively, and the conversation between the two of them was interrupted.

Yuwen Fei squinted his eyes, seeing how all the servants were surrounding Pu Xin, his gaze suddenly became gloomy.

”Since the duke can't guess it, I'll just tell him.” A cold voice slowly sounded within the warm room.

The servants were all startled, knowing that they themselves could hear what the two were talking about, they all immediately lowered their heads, closed their ears, and quickly finished what they were doing and left. When the last servant left, Yuwen Fei's voice just happened to sound out again.

”Shentidol said that he originally had a copy of the list of officials who accepted bribes in the capital. He originally wanted Wu Bo Hou to contact these officials and speak up for him. However, even after waiting for a long time, none of the officials made a sound. ”I guess —”

Yuwen Fei paused for a moment, then swept a glance at the somewhat pale Pu Xin, ”I'm guessing that this name list, should not even reach Wu Bo Hou's hands!”

”Cough cough …”

Pu Xin covered his lips and started coughing softly once again. He gently raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea.

When Yuwen Fei heard this, he acted as if he had heard something funny. He smiled and said, ”Master Hou, where are the names on the table?”

Pu Xin blinked as if he was not sure, ”Could it be that even the Seventh Prince isn't clear about it?”

The two of them acted like they were deaf and dumb, going back and forth between each other.

In the end, Pu Xin suddenly asked, ”The Seventh Prince is in charge of dealing with Princess Ping Yang's Qishan white jade case, is it still not over?”

Yuwen Fei's eyes lit up, the only mystery in Ping Yang was, between Ping Yang and himself, how did he get involved, was it possible? He looked at Pu Xin without blinking.

Pu Xin just laughed and remained silent. He picked up a piece of charcoal from the side of the fire and threw it into the furnace.
