“Tell your master to stop being so busy all day long with these antics. Doesn’t he have anything better to do? Even if he’s a prince, he’ll squander everything!” I said listlessly.
The maidservant looked at me with a sigh, then proudly raised her head and said, “Madam, please be at ease. The young master is the richest person in the world. Everyone knows how much the master loves you.” She looked at me earnestly and expectantly.
I listened to her words and was momentarily stunned. Although I had known before that he was extraordinary, I had never imagined that a prince would actually be a merchant.
“When did you enter the mansion!” I changed the subject, not wanting to dwell on his wealth.
In fact, Weiluo was like family to me, or more like a brother.
“Hmm, you can go now. Tell Weiluo I’ll be there soon!” I casually instructed the maidservant. Since I entered the mansion, no one here had ever called Weiluo a prince; everyone referred to him as “master”, as if everyone was cautious about his royal identity. And since I arrived, I had always called him by his name.
I returned to Cang Country only to understand the connection between Shui Zixi and myself. But I had been in Weiluo’s mansion for so long, and Shui Zixi had once again disappeared, just like when I was eight years old. I had indeed tried to inquire about him. I had asked Weiluo about Shui Zixi, but Weiluo only casually told me: “Shui Zixi has been the national teacher of Cang Country since birth. No matter how many years pass, his appearance, his extraordinary abilities, and the mysterious circumstances of his background are taboo in Cang Country. No one knows where he came from or what his identity is. But everyone knows that Shui Zixi has god-like powers. Whatever he says or promises, he will definitely accomplish.”
“Guess who I am!” While I was in a daze, Weiluo suddenly hugged me from behind like a mischievous child, playfully saying.
I helplessly pursed my lips, softly laughing: “The maidservant said you would give me a surprise today. Where’s the surprise?” I turned to look at him, my face full of smiles.
