After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

into the night.

The backyard of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.

Liu Chengze was kneeling on the ground nervously.

And right in front of him sat the current Marquis of Yongchang.

That is Si Jiu's half-brother.

Si Liu.

If Wen Baizhi were here, he would definitely say that Si Jiu doesn't look like his brother at all.

Si Jiu has a distinctly delicate appearance.

But this Si Liu looks ordinary.

Even now that I'm getting older, I'm slowly gaining weight.

The whole person looked particularly listless.

In fact, this was also the reason why the old marquis didn’t like Si Jiu back then.

The old marquis looks similar to Si Liu.

That's not like Si Jiu.

Si Jiu's biological mother is a prostitute.

A child born to a prostitute doesn't look like him.

The old marquis always suspected that Si Jiu was not his child.

So he was always treated harshly.

Of course, this is all in the past.

Now Si Liu called Liu Chengze over, of course he had his reasons.

Si Liu was holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, blowing the hot steam slowly.

Liu Chengze knelt at his feet, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he didn't dare to speak easily.

After a while, Si Liu pretended to be surprised as if he had just discovered Liu Chengze kneeling at his feet:

"Hey, Master Liu, you are still kneeling here, why don't you get up quickly?"

When Liu Chengze heard this, he became even more nervous.

Everyone in Kyoto knows that the young Marquis of Yongchang is the most famous smiling tiger.

Always smile and say nice things to you, and then stab you in the back.

Liu Chengze trembled and said, "My Lord, I have said everything I need to say. I have already lent the Boiling Love Powder to Wen Baizhi through Wen Youru's men as you ordered. Once Si Jiu smells it, he will definitely react. My Lord, as you said, Si Jiu is just a eunuch. This enhanced version of the Boiling Love Powder will surely make him unable to stop. He will not have a chance to relieve himself by then. This will definitely make Si Jiu suffer a lot."

He thought that even if he would not be rewarded by Si Liu for what he did, at least he would not be punished by him.

But he didn't expect that the next moment, all the steaming hot tea was thrown at him by Si Liu.

If it wasn't still very cold in early spring, he would definitely have been burned.

Liu Chengze supported himself on the ground with both hands and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "My Lord, if I have done anything wrong, please tell me. My Lord, I am wrong."

He was so scared at this moment that he didn't even dare to call himself "me".

Si Liu kicked the debris off the ground carelessly. "Master Liu, I don't understand what you just said. What do you mean by following my instructions? What did I tell you to do? Hmm?"

Liu Chengze said anxiously: "My Lord, I said the wrong thing. These are my own thoughts and have nothing to do with you, my Lord."

Si Liu seemed satisfied with his answer and bent down to pick up a piece of debris.

Then he gestured to Liu Chengze to stretch out his hand.

Although Liu Chengze was afraid, he still stretched out his hand in front of him with trembling hands.

Si Liu gestured and suspended the fragment above Liu Chengze's palm.

"Master Liu, I think I still need to remind you of many things. You should know that my repayment of your debts is conditional. You did everything I asked you to do voluntarily. I didn't put a knife to your neck and force you to do it, right? So if someone asks you some questions later, please remember what I said today. These things are for you to do, Master Liu, and have nothing to do with me or the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion."

Si Liu's words were like a cold poisonous snake, wrapping around his body all the way up.

In the end, they were able to tightly grasp his throat.

Liu Chengze had cold sweat rolling down his forehead: "I know, I know everything."

Si Liu looked down on this gambler.

Now seeing how frightened and trembling he is, I guess he wouldn't dare to cause any trouble.

Si Liu raised his eyelids slightly and threw away the fragments in his hand.

"I hope Master Liu will remember what I said today."

Just as Liu Chengze walked out of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion in a daze, someone wrote the news here on a note and sent it to Si Jiu.

When the note was delivered to Si Jiu's room, he was wrapped in a thick coat by Wen Baizhi, with several braziers for heating at his feet and hot tea at hand.

"Baibai, I'm so hot." Si Jiu couldn't help but complain sweetly.

Wen Baizhi poked his nose with her index finger: "You are still sick, but you insist on coming to handle official business, then you must follow my arrangements, otherwise go back to bed obediently."

Si Jiu had no choice but to shake his head and rub the tip of his nose against Wen Baizhi's fingertips again and again.

"OK then."

Although he said it reluctantly, he still felt full of happiness in his heart.

Si Jiu's attempts to act coquettishly were futile, so he sat back down and opened the note.

The more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.

Wen Baizhi noticed that something was wrong with him.

"What's wrong Zijin? Is there any bad news?"

Si Jiu subconsciously put the note into the candle and burned it.

It was not until everything was burned to ashes that he realized that this action might cause Wen Baizhi to misunderstand.

He hurriedly explained, "Bai Bai, I didn't mean to not show it to you. It's because this is the news from the intelligence network of the Governor's Mansion. There are some specific symbols on it, and there are no words. You can't understand it even if you see it, so I naturally burned it."

Wen Baizhi saw that his face turned pale with nervousness, and couldn't help but find it funny: "Look at how anxious you are. I don't want to see your thing. If you don't want to see it, then don't look at it. Don't make yourself nervous."

Wen Baizhi thought that what Si Jiu was talking about should be the Morse code of modern society, and no one except the specific people would be able to understand it.

Si Jiu took her hand and pulled her to sit next to him, then leaned on her shoulder obediently.

"But I will tell you everything I know, and only you."

Wen Baizhi touched his forehead first and found that it was still a little hot: "Then please tell me, Lord Supervisor, what was written on the note just now."

Si Jiu leaned against her and said, "Ever since you told me that you met your cousin outside Baoen Temple, I sent people to investigate him. As expected, he has a lot of problems. My people even saw him coming out of Yongchang Marquis's Mansion tonight. This is the news written on the note just now."

"Marquis Yongchang Mansion?" Wen Baizhi asked, "Is it the mansion that your brother has inherited and you used to live in?"

Si Jiu nodded.

If everyone has a place in their heart that they least want to mention, then the place that Si Jiu least wants to go to, Yongchang Marquis Mansion must be ranked first.

This inner disgust made him feel uncomfortable even when he mentioned it.

That's why he pulled Wen Baizhi to his side just now.

"Although we don't know what Liu Chengze said or did in the Yongchang Marquis's mansion, we can be sure that he and Si Liu, now the Yongchang Marquis, must have some connection that we don't know about."

"This connection is about you, and it's about me too."

Si Jiu's eyes became sharp and cold.

If he really finds out that there is any part that hurts Wen Baizhi, then you can't blame him for being cruel.
