Zhao Mo repeated the address. He looked at Qin Hanzhen, wondering why his cousin looked confused.

But Mr. Niu couldn't help being surprised: "How could it be there? It's impossible. Our master has already bought that house?"

Zhao Mo turned to look at her in surprise: "Uncle and grandpa bought it?!"

Only then did Mrs. Niu remember that Qin Bai had mentioned that this house was prepared for Zhao Mo, but in order not to affect his decision on his future, she should not tell him the news for the time being. She smiled stiffly and her eyes flickered:

"Our master should have bought it. He...he mentioned it at the beginning."

Qin Hanzhen blinked and said, "Maybe my grandfather rented the house to Mr. Zhao? Anyway, we don't need the house now, so we can leave it alone. Why not rent it out to earn some rent? Since we have to rent it,

Wouldn’t it be better to rent to someone you know?”

Niu felt that this was unlikely. Since Qin Bai had planned to give this house to Zhao Mo from the beginning, how could he arrange for others to live in it before him? Wouldn't that seem a bit... awkward?

What? If the house was originally used for rent and was no longer rented out but was given away, then that would be fine. However, Qin Bai said from the beginning that this house was going to be given to Zhao Mo, and he also said that if he could not give it away,

After going out, I will leave it to He Xin and the others to take care of it. It can be seen that even if it is to be rented out, it will be a matter after Zhao Mo has decided his future.

Niu felt that something was wrong here, there must be some misunderstanding. However, she had no intention of telling Zhao Mo in detail. She only wanted to ask her husband again when she saw him later.

Zhao Mo remembered what Qin Bai and Qin Jian had said to him, and also remembered that Qin Jian had advised him not to mention the house in front of Qin Hanzhen, lest Qin Hanzhen would be sad because he did not buy the house he wanted. He

He didn't think Qin Hanzhen would be sad because of this trivial matter, so he just said it directly, but he didn't expect to get a fact completely different from what he knew from Niu and Qin Hanzhen. Could it be that Qin Bai and

Qin Jian lied to him? But why?

Qin Hanzhen saw Zhao Mo's expression change and knew that this time there was some trouble. In order to avoid Zhao Mo misunderstanding, she had to bite the bullet and said to him: "No matter who bought the house, Mr. Zhao lives there now."

.You are going to spend the New Year with him, and you can also appreciate the advantages of that house. Let me tell you, it is really nice there. Although it is a bit old, it is very flavorful. The small garden is very beautiful, and there are no leaky windows.

It’s the same, very exquisite. There is also a small pier at the back door, and you can take a boat cruise directly. Except that the humidity may be a bit heavier after staying for a long time, there are really no other shortcomings.”

Zhao Mo looked at Qin Hanzhen and smiled slightly: "The moisture shouldn't be heavy. When I went back there last time, I found that the house had a fire wall and it was very warm inside."

Qin Hanzhen was a little surprised when he heard this: "Really? That's great! When we went to see the house, there was no fire wall or anything like that. It must have been newly built after we bought it, right? Cousin Zhao, where are you?

It’s a nice place to stay, it’s warm and quiet, and you can stroll around the small garden when you’re free. It’s a pity that the season is wrong. If it’s warm in spring and summer, you can also take a boat to play on the Qinhuai River.”

Zhao Mo smiled and said: "It sounds really good. If I have the opportunity in the future, I really want to buy a house like this to live in. Living on the water, it sounds like Jiangnan."

This matter seemed to have passed just like that. On the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Mo moved into the prince's house near Huaiqing Bridge with his luggage as promised.

The prince was very caring and considerate to him, and specially ordered someone to prepare a well-lit wing for him, just beside the small garden. Looking out from the window sill, you can see the beautiful scenery of the corner of the garden. Even though it is still winter, the garden

There are still plum blossoms in bloom for appreciation. Zhao Mo sat in front of the window and saw what Qin Hanzhen described to him as "green tiles and white walls, with moss leaking through the windows". He felt that this house was indeed very interesting. No wonder his third cousin was so...

Like it.

The comfort of Zhao Mo's life with this uncle has not been compromised. It can even be said that the level of sophistication in daily life and food is even better than when he was in the Qin family. He really didn't see it before. It turned out that Liyang

The uncle of the palace is a person who lives such a particular life: the clothes may not be luxurious, but the materials must be comfortable and extraordinary; the food may not be delicacies, but everything is in line with the principles of health preservation, and it can be said that he never gets tired of eating;

There are incense in the room, fragrant tea brewed in the teapot...everything is exquisite.

Zhao Mo even discovered that there was a cook in his uncle's house who was specially brought here from the capital and made good food. The taste... no matter how you eat it, it feels like the taste of royal food in the palace.

Zhao Mo felt that his uncle's words and deeds, as well as all the details in his life, were enough to prove that he was born with a superior life, which could not be summed up by the simple words "good clothing, good food and good food". Zhao Mo himself

He is the direct grandson of the Liao Prince's Palace. Even though his father's lineage has never been favored by the Liao Prince and his wife, his treatment in food, clothing, and daily life is not comparable to that of ordinary wealthy families. But he dare not say that his life since childhood is better than that of his uncle.

It’s so powerful. In terms of sophistication, it’s simply incomparable!

But does Liyang Prince's Mansion... have such financial resources and magnificence? Because the family has too many children and grandchildren, it has reached the point where it needs to continue to marry merchant girls with generous dowries to supplement the family income. Even if the uncle is from Liyang

The eldest son of the royal family, the prince, may not be able to have such a pomp.

However, Zhao Mo knew very well that this uncle was by no means the eldest son of Prince Liyang. Among the friends introduced to him by Qin Jian were the children of Prince Liyang, so he knew the ages of Prince Liyang's sons and grandsons, and how to compare with his uncle.

No. But if it weren’t for the identity of the eldest son and legitimate grandson, which other master in the Liyang Palace would be used to living such a particular life?

Zhao Mo became suspicious of the identity of the prince. But it was difficult to say this kind of thing, so he could only bury the doubts in his heart for the time being. At the same time, he thought about whether Qin Bai was an insider? Could it be because of the inconsistency between his and Qin Jian's statements?

The reason for hiding the truth from him?

Zhao Mo felt a little uncomfortable, but he felt a lot better when he thought that Qin Hanzhen was also confused that day, and he must not have known anything about it. His uncle Qin Bai and his aunt Niu Shi had always treated him very well, and so had Qin Jian and him.

If they are sincerely dating, if they really lied to him, there must be a reason, right? It's better not to think too much until he knows the facts.

So Zhao Mo pretended not to notice anything strange in the prince's life and calmly went about his own business. He had three meals at the same time every day, went to bed early and got up early, read in the morning, practiced painting in the afternoon, occasionally went out for a walk, and accompanied him in the evening.

The uncle chatted. His life was very regular, which was consistent with the prince's habits.

The prince admired him even more and praised him: "You are a boy with a strong character. It's the New Year now, and it's really rare that you can still work so hard."

Zhao Mo pursed his lips and smiled sheepishly, then secretly glanced at the entourage behind the prince, his eyes dimming slightly.

He didn't pay much attention to his uncle's entourage in the past, but after moving in these few days, facing each other day and night, he saw something was wrong again.

There were several followers around his uncle who looked like bodyguards. Their appearance, demeanor, words and deeds were all extraordinary compared to ordinary guards. Zhao Mo noticed that one of them looked familiar. Although he did not recognize who the other person was, he remembered it. Among the friends Qin Jian introduced to him, there was one whose appearance was somewhat similar to this guard.

He still remembered that when Qin Jian introduced that friend, he mentioned that he was the son of a general and had an older brother who served as a guard in the East Palace...

If all this is not a coincidence, this guard is really the brother of that little friend, then who is the uncle he is guarding day and night?

There is also Dr. Shen who lives in the same house. When he went south, didn't he say he was going back to his hometown to visit his relatives? Why did he settle in Jinling City? Where are his relatives?

Another middle-aged man who often sat with Dr. Shen to discuss medical books. Zhao Mo didn't know who he was. He only knew that he was also a doctor. But when he was arguing with Dr. Shen, he blurted out, "We "You are not the only one in the imperial hospital." Could it be that this doctor is also an imperial physician? There are actually two imperial doctors accompanying him. This is not a treatment that ordinary people can get.

If he hadn't doubted some things at the beginning, perhaps Zhao Mo would never have thought of going to certain places. But now, with his doubts, many things that he couldn't figure out seemed to be explained.

If his uncle was really who he suspected, then it would be normal for Qin Bai and Qin Jian to lie.

However, if my uncle is really that noble man, then why does he care so much about me?

Zhao Mo could feel that his uncle was really kind to him, and he really cared about him, and had no scruples about him. If that was the case, why did he hide his identity from him?

Although Zhao Mo didn't show it on his face, he was still struggling in his heart. He didn't know how to face his uncle. He was thinking, should he keep pretending to be stupid? Anyway, he was only staying in this house for a few days, waiting. After the third day of the Lunar New Year, you can say goodbye and go back to the Qin family. It seems... there is no need for him to cause trouble?

Zhao Mo secretly made up his mind, but he didn't know that the prince's expression when he looked at him from a distance had already guessed what he was worried about.

Doctor Tang asked the prince from the side: "Your Highness, the grandson of King Liao seems to have noticed something. He kept staring at Guard Ding yesterday, and heard the quarrel between Wei Chen and Doctor Shen..."

The prince smiled slightly: "It's not surprising. He is a smart boy. He should have noticed something a long time ago. He was just pretending to be stupid. Don't tell the truth and let him go."

Imperial Physician Tang was puzzled: "Isn't Your Highness worried? The Crown Prince of Liao intends to reserve the throne. His son may have malicious intentions if he knows His Highness's identity..."

Doctor Shen also interjected: "Your Highness should indeed be more careful. The descendant of the Liao King may not have any malicious intentions, but he is clearly aware of His Highness's identity, but still pretends to be stupid, which is enough to prove that he is not sincere towards His Highness."

The prince waved his hand to stop them from continuing and said with a smile: "How long have I been with him? It's normal for him not to trust me. You don't need to pay attention to it, just wait with peace of mind. I believe...he will one day

Ask me openly and honestly. Only on that day can I be sure that he really trusts me."

Imperial Physician Tang was stunned: "Why does Your Highness want the trust of the descendants of the King of Liao?"

The prince just smiled and said nothing.
