Chapter 1225: The Trip to the Duke's Mansion (Part 2)

According to common sense, under normal circumstances, Xiao Wu entered the palace at the age of fourteen, so all her knowledge and culture must have been mastered before she was fourteen.

When Lao Wu died, Xiao Wu was only twelve years old. That is to say, before he was twelve, Xiao Wu might have had the opportunity to go to school, but considering the later oppression of Wu Yang family by Wu Yuanqing and Wu Wushuang, Xiao Wu's treatment was not necessarily very good in the early stages, and it would probably be difficult to learn anything even if he went to school.

Therefore, Xiao Wu's excellent genes should be inherited from her mother, namely Yang.

Now seeing Yang's performance, Li Chengqian is 100% sure that this woman is not an ordinary person. Even if she does not have the identity of the former Sui royal family, she is at least the daughter of the royal family.

All this is a long story, but in fact it is just a thought that flashed through Li Chengqian's mind. If you really count it, it may not even be a blink of an eye. No one knows that at the moment when Li Chengqian helped Wu's family with vain, he had already thought of many questions.

Everything that happened next was simple. Li Chengqian followed Wu to the back house and saw the warrior lying on the couch. Although this was not the first time they met, Li Chengqian was still shocked when he saw Lao Wu.

Lao Wu in front of him was already thin and could not see his handsome appearance. If the quilt was still exposed to his old face, it would probably make people think that no one existed on the couch.

"Why is Secretary Wu like this? Have you ever asked the doctor to see it?" Li Chengqian suppressed his surprise and turned to Wu.

"When you go back to your highness, you have seen the imperial physician in the palace and the miracle doctor Sun from the medical school, but they all say that this is the consequence of not caring about your body when you were young, and now you have no way to do it." Wu mentioned her husband's illness and gently wiped the corners of her eyes.

Whether it is true love or falsehood, at least to outsiders, Yang is a qualified wife.

Li Chengqian looked at Yang's appearance and felt a little sad. He sighed and said, "Don't be sad, old lady, I believe that Secretary Wu will definitely be lucky in the world of man and heaven."

"I thank you for your highness!"

"Oh by the way, this time I specially brought a hundred-year-old ginseng from Liaodong, which is probably helpful to Shangshu Wu."

The purpose of Li Chengqian's trip was to check some problems with Xiao Wu. It was just an excuse to see Lao Wu. Now that people have seen it, it is time to say goodbye after taking out the gift.

As for Lao Wu’s feelings... I guess no one cares now, at least Li Chengqian has never cared.

The old man bought the official, and he had no ability at all. Moreover, he was also a member of Old Li Yuan, who was more than 100,800 miles away from Li Chengqian. Comrade Xiao Li had no need to pay attention to him at all, and the reason why he came to see him was just for Xiao Wu's face.

"Brother Prince, are you doing something?" After leaving Lao Wu's bedroom, Xiao Wu followed Li Chengqian and raised his head and asked.

"Find a place to sit!" Li Chengqian did not directly answer Xiao Wu, but his words proved Xiao Wu's guess.

"Then let's go to the front hall." Xiao Wu obviously felt Li Chengqian's somewhat unhappy tone, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but in the end he decided to have a good chat with Li Chengqian.

So Li Chengqian and Xiao Wu, the righteous brother and sister, came to the front hall of the Wu family. As for Wu, they stayed behind to take care of Lao Wu, but did not come out. With the old woman's shrewdness, they had already guessed that Li Chengqian's purpose here was not simple, so she naturally would not participate in it.

After all, Lao Wu has been ill for a long time. If the royal family really valued Lao Wu, they should have sent someone here long ago, and there is no need to wait until now to let Prince Li Chengqian come.

In the front hall of the Wu family, Li Chengqian and Xiao Wu sat down separately. After someone brought tea, all the people in the Wu family were driven out, leaving only a few people like Xiaobai and Ye Mei.

"Mei'er, tell me, what are your plans for this land acquisition?" Li Chengqian looked at Xiao Wu and said coldly after all the servants of the Wu family went out.

"Too, Prince's Brother!" A look of surprise flashed across Xiao Wu's face. She had never been treated so coldly by Li Chengqian, showing extreme unnaturalness.

"Tell me, Wu Yuanqing is not a material for doing things at all. Since he encouraged Xiaoyou to come to find me, there will naturally be others behind me. But after thinking about it, I never thought that anyone else would stand behind Wu Yuanqing besides you." Li Chengqian said his guess without hesitation, staring at Xiao Wu's delicate face, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.

"I..." Xiao Wu's face flashed with struggle, and finally lowered his head and said hesitantly: "I want to help the prince brother, and Sister Changle has his own affairs, so I also want to find something to do."

"Help me?" Li Chengqian repeated in a low voice.

The moment the speculation was confirmed, anger surged in his heart. He didn't like someone to make decisions without authorization to cause trouble, even if this person was someone close to him.

Cheng Lin was like this at the beginning, and Xiao Wu is like this now. Can't the women in the Tang Dynasty be so intentional? Can't they let themselves save their own attention?

"Brother Prince, Mei'er knows that she is wrong. Mei'er dares not do anything in the future." Looking at Li Chengqian's uncertain face, Xiao Wu began to be afraid.

She spent almost all her childhood with Li Chengqian. It can even be said that she had been with Li Chengqian much longer than her time with Lao Wu.

So when Li Chengqian looks unpleasant, she will have a kind of fear. Of course, this is not a real fear, but a fear of not wanting to disappoint the person who loves her the most.

"Since you have done this, what else do you dare to do? If I didn't think something was wrong, I arranged for someone to check Xiaoyou, I'm afraid I'm still kept in the dark!" Li Chengqian said with a wry smile and shook his head.

His bitter smile was not because of disappointment with Xiao Wu, but because he laughed that he had overestimated his influence on Xiao Wu, but this smile was completely different in Xiao Wu's eyes.

"No, it's not like that. Brother Prince, I don't really want to lie to you. I just want to give you a surprise. When the railway is fully completed, I will give you a surprise!" In a hurry, Xiao Wu's voice was filled with crying, and his eyes began to turn red.

Xiao Wu, who began to regret her behavior, didn't know that there was actually a "gap" between her and Li Chengqian. Before her prince's brother thought about how to fill this "gap" in, he would never completely believe her.
