At this time, a big hand stretched out from the side, stopping He Zheng's movements.

He Zheng, who was pushed away, was stunned suddenly, and was about to get angry when he saw that man's cold and merciless eyes staring at him deeply. Unavoidable fear.

Those are the eyes that can only be seen after many years of experience on the battlefield.

Almost at that moment, He Zheng knew the identity of this person.

The body took a step back subconsciously, which was an instinctive reaction.

By the time He Zheng recovered, the man had already retreated behind Wei Rou, lowered his head, and could not see the sharp eyes.

Wei Rou obviously also noticed this movement, her eyes flashed narrowly, and then she said to He Zheng: "Uncle He, it's windy outside, don't just stand there, it's not too late to say anything after entering the house."

He Zheng just came back to his senses, but he didn't approach Wei Rou any more, and walked ahead to lead the way, with a gloomy expression on his face.

After entering the mansion, the servants greeted the guests all the way, and the corners of Wei Rou's mouth twitched.

Uncle He treated her really unusually, even in Duke Wei's mansion before, he didn't treat her like this.

It was very disturbing.

Wei Rou's scalp was numb, and she followed He Zheng all the way to the banquet hall.

He Zheng was the only one who hosted the banquet, so no one else could be seen in the banquet hall except the servants who came and went.

Wei Rou couldn't help asking curiously: "Isn't aunt at the house?"

He Zheng invited her to take a seat, and upon hearing the words, he replied, "She's going to the temple in the mountain to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name, and she'll come back in a few days."

Wei Rou nodded: "I see."

From time to time, He Zheng's eyes fell on the man who was guarding not far away.

The man's figure was tall and straight, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and his lower body was extremely stable. He never made the slightest sound of footsteps when he was walking, which showed his profound internal energy.

Sensing He Zheng's scrutinizing gaze, Wei Rou smiled faintly and changed the subject.

"Uncle He, I have something to ask."

He Zheng hurriedly said: "What is it that bothers Rou'er? Uncle He must know everything!"

"Uncle He has been the prefect in Jiangnan for a long time. You should know that there is a master named Chu in Jiangnan who is famous for his lock making skills?"

He Zheng was slightly taken aback, then returned to his normal expression.

"How did Rou'er know about the Chu family? Wasn't the Chu family burned down a few years ago?"

"It seems that Uncle He knows the Chu family. Speaking of which, I was entrusted by someone. I met a girl named Chu in the capital. This time I came to Jiangnan to visit relatives and friends on her behalf, but I never thought that the Chu family had already encountered a catastrophe. .”

Wei Rou said this after thinking about it. She didn't tell the truth because she was not sure about He Zheng's position.

After all, He Zheng's insistence on saying that she is the daughter of the Wei family has already confused Wei Rou very much.

She always felt that He Zheng seemed to know something, but after all, the way is here, she can only take the opportunity of going to the banquet today to test it out, hoping to get some clues.

He Zheng smiled when he heard this.

"So that's how it is. Rou'er is still kind-hearted. It's just that the Chu family has long been extinct, and Miss Chu may be the only one who survived, so it's her fate. What else did she say to you?"

Wei Rou shook her head.

"Never."

The smile on He Zheng's face deepened.

"Now that Chu family has been abandoned for a long time, Rou'er should not get involved in this bad luck. Uncle He will order someone to worship for you someday."

"Then Rou'er will first thank Uncle He on behalf of Miss Chu."

Wei Rou lowered her eyes, suppressing the surprise and uncertainty in her heart.

At this moment, someone strode in from outside.

"Father, who are you eating with here? Don't even call me! I'm still not your son!"
