Colin Manor.

"Your Highness, wait a moment, I will report to Your Excellency right away."

"kindness"

Wei Xiaole was brought into the living room by the servants of Colin Manor and waited. Because she was worried about Celestine's safety, she was a little restless. After waiting for a few minutes, the servant did not come to inform her, so she got up and paced in the living room.

Just as Wei Xiaole was walking restlessly, he suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor outside. Wei Xiaole thought it was the servant who came back, so he went out to take a look, but saw a strange figure from the back. It's not like the people in the manor.

The man came out of the stairs inside the small door. According to the rules of ordinary noble families, servants cannot go in and out of the main stairs for cleaning, so there must be a separate small door in the house. Inside the small door is the stairs for the servants. .However, there are exceptions, if it is a low-status outsider with the permission of the owner, he can also enter and exit through the small door——

So he was 'invited'?

Wei Xiaole was not interested in who the host wanted to see, not to mention that he was so focused on Celestine's safety that he didn't linger too much on that person. After watching for a while, he was ready to go back to the living room to continue Wait, but at the moment when he turned around, when the man walked out through the corridor, Wei Xiaole caught a glimpse of the man's right hand out of the corner of his eye...

Similar fragments flooded into his brain in an instant, Wei Xiaole was stunned, and turned his head to look at the corridor again, but the man had already walked out, and Wei Xiaole could see through the floor-to-ceiling glass window that he was walking towards the gate of the manor.

"Your Highness, my lord, please go over."

At this time, the servant Yihao came back to inform Wei Xiaole.

Wei Xiaole stared at the figure of the man leaving for a long time, and asked the servant, "Is he from the manor?"

The servant glanced at Wei Xiaole's line of sight: "No, he is a construction worker, Madam invited him to repair the house."

construction worker?

Wei Xiaole was suspicious, he was sure that he had seen that person somewhere, and he had a deep impression of his missing half of the little finger on his right hand, but where did he see it?

"Your Highness, please."

"Ah good."

Unable to bear the servant's urging, Wei Xiaole had no choice but to withdraw his thoughts and go to see Celestine and Colin first, but when he followed the servant upstairs, the sound of stepping on the stairs under his feet made Wei Xiaole suddenly remember what he was doing. When and where have I seen that person——Auqi's bar.

The so-called construction worker in the servant's mouth is actually the waiter who showed him the way!

"You just said that the man was invited by the madam?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"I suddenly remembered that the study of His Highness the Crown Prince also needs to be repaired. Since the man was invited by the madam, his skills should be good. Can you help me find his contact information?"

"There should be a record at the concierge. I'll find it for His Highness later."

"Well, but I don't want to alarm your wife about this matter, lest she worry about it."

"Understood... Your Highness, please." The servant led Wei Xiaole upstairs, passed a corridor, and stopped in front of a door. The servant knocked on the door twice: "My lord, Your Highness the Crown Princess has arrived."

"Please come in."

Colin's voice came from inside immediately.

The servant pushed open the door and bent down to invite Wei Xiaole to enter. Wei Xiaole nodded in return, and then entered the door. Colin and Celestine were both there when he entered. As if he hadn't seen him, he sat on the sofa drinking tea by himself.Wei Xiaole pouted, looked away from Celestine and walked towards Colin.

Colin stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "It's really a rare visitor, welcome."

"Uncle." Wei Xiaole called out politely, shook hands with Colin and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."

"What are you talking about? It's too late for me to welcome you. How can you call it an interruption? Come, come, sit here."

"Thank you uncle."

Under Colin's guidance, Wei Xiaole entered the small living room. Originally, he wanted to sit on the other side of the sofa, but thinking about the purpose of his trip, he sat down next to Celestine and glanced at him. But he found that he had no reaction to his appearance.

"West……"

"Just now I mentioned you to Celestine, saying why you didn't come with me."

Interrupted by Colin's words, Wei Xiaole calmed down, then calmly smiled at Colin who was sitting opposite: "What did he say?"

Colin smiled, glanced at Celestine and said, "Anyway...no bad words."

Wei Xiaole raised her eyebrows, and turned to look at Celestine: "I thought he would criticize me in front of my uncle."

Celestine looked up at Wei Xiaole.

Wei Xiaole smiled: "We agreed to visit my uncle together, so you leave me and Neil alone and come here first. Neil is still at home waiting for you to pick him up."

The black eyes deepened, seeming to grow meaningfully.

"So that's how it is." Colin smiled and said, "It's Celestine's fault to say so, or else, I'll send someone to fetch Neil, and you two will stay and have dinner together before leaving. "

"Don't bother, I already called back when I came here, and bring Neil over for a visit next time."

"Then you guys have to coax the little thing well when you go back."

Wei Xiaole smiled and turned to look at Celestine.

Celestine still didn't respond. After taking a sip of tea, she put down the cup, looked up at Colin who was sitting opposite, and said, "Uncle just mentioned Ron...what's wrong with Ron?"

Wei Xiaole's face changed a little when he heard the words, and he couldn't help turning his eyes to Colin. He knew that Ron had died five years ago, so why did he mention it to Celestine at this time?

It's a test—

what is this else?

After listening to Celestine's words, Colin didn't show the slightest surprise. He didn't seem to be surprised by Celestine's 'knowingly asking' question, and replied with a smile: "The matter of Ron...don't mention it. , Tell me about your time on the battlefield, isn’t it thrilling to fight against the Korath Empire this time?”

"I haven't seen Ron for a long time, let's have a meal together next time," Celestine said.

Wei Xiaole felt uncomfortable after hearing this, and said, "Celestin..."

"You really don't remember anything about Ron?"

Before Wei Xiaole could finish speaking, Colin suddenly mentioned such a sentence. Only then did Wei Xiaole know that Colin was really testing Celestine, but what was his purpose for doing this?To make Celestine feel guilty about remembering Ron's death, or to remind him that the 'culprit' of the whole thing was actually him, Wei Xiaole?

What good does that do Colin?

"Ron..."

"Uncle, is Ron's death day coming soon?"

Wei Xiaole took the lead and threw the question to Colin.

Colin was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but quickly returned to normal, and replied with a smile: "Yes, it will be Ron's death day in a month's time."

Wei Xiaole stretched out his hand to hold Celestine's arm, and pretended to be intimate in front of Colin: "Actually, Celestine mentioned this matter early on, saying that they would go to worship together on the day of the death. It wasn't my uncle who reminded me, I almost forgot again...Look at my note

Sex. "

Colin smiled and said nothing.

Skipping the subject of Ron, Wei Xiaole chatted with Colin for a while, and then made an excuse and left with Celestine first. Colin didn't force them to stay and eat together, and sent them out of the door .

After greeting Colin, Wei Xiaole got into the car with Celestine on his arm.

"Ron... when did he die?"

"More than five years."

When the car drove out of the manor, Wei Xiaole let go of Celestine's arm and sat on the side.

Celestine said nothing.

Wei Xiaole looked at Celestine's face, and after a moment of silence, he said again: "I don't know what uncle means by mentioning Ron in front of you, but...you'd better be careful, and don't go to him in the future." went."

"What do you want to say?"

"It's nothing, I just think uncle shouldn't mention Ron in front of you today."

Celestine looked at Wei Xiaole with deeper eyes.

Wei Xiaole's hair was all fluffed up by him: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Do you know something?"

"Stop guessing, what can I know."

"Is it?"

"Don't you think it's strange?" Wei Xi had promised not to tell about the blueprints, so Wei Xiaole could only find another reason: "Uncle knew that Ron had been dead for five years, but he suddenly told you Bringing this up...isn't it strange?"

Celestine said expressionlessly, "You mean he's testing me?"

Wei Xiaole pursed his lips, coughed dryly and said, "I'm just analyzing like this..."

"continue."

"...Besides, you think I'm trying to provoke the relationship between your uncles and nephews."

"You're already provoking."

"I..." Wei Xiaole was at a loss for words, and after holding back for a long time, she still couldn't help telling Celestine what was in her heart: "You belong to Neil.

I just said that, Daddy, even if you think I'm trying to set things apart... Let's put it this way, you don't even remember that Ron is dead, do you? "

Celestine said nothing, acquiescing.

Wei Xiaole continued: "So, why do you think he deliberately brought up this matter in front of you? Also, besides this, I still remember that he raised monsters in his home five years ago. At that time, Luo and I En went to visit the South Courtyard, and we all heard the sound of the monster, but when we went to check it later, it was gone."

"You think there's something wrong with uncle?"

"It's very problematic. He is too ambitious. Everyone knows that."

"evidence."

"...No, but my intuition tells me that there must be something wrong with him, so you don't see him alone in the future, it's best to leave him

Further. "

Celestine said blankly, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"..." Wei Xiaole suddenly came back to his senses, opened his mouth and whispered: "Anyway, I told you, you can do whatever you want."

"You'd better worry about yourself."

"what!"

"You have two days left to find the real culprit."

Wei Xiaole was suddenly speechless.
