Li Wenli touched her head with a sense of relief, "Good child, you have a bright future."
The despised Ah Dao: "..."
However, Bai Junjun didn’t sleep long before Yuwen Luanfei came over.
There was no helping it, now Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were of utmost importance in his heart.
Without the two of them, he couldn’t have taken down the rebel stronghold that the Fifth Prince had buried here.
He heard that they had just returned and went out to help a neighbor search for someone, only to come back late at night, injured no less.
Such compassionate and righteous people deserved to be commended!
Yuwen Luanfei, to show his appreciation and affection, came over early in the morning.
Accompanying him was Wenren Pingting.
Though the couple had no marital relations, they gave others the impression of being deeply in love.
Both arrived at the Bai Residence with great haste, naturally bringing many precious tonics.
However, to their surprise, even though the Bai Residence was much cleaner and tidier than before, it still seemed like a desolate abandoned house to someone from the opulent Prince’s Mansion.
The moment Yuwen Luanfei stepped inside, he felt uncomfortable all over, as if he wanted to roll up his sleeves and start tidying up.
Of course, if it weren’t for Wenren Pingting watching over, he really might have done so.
But with his stern wife coldly watching him, Yuwen Luanfei could only try not to look around and ignore the mess.
Li Wenli, as one of the hosts, calmly invited them to the living room to sit down.
Used to living in a dirty and chaotic environment, Li Wenli didn’t think there was anything wrong with the room; after all, he considered the living room quite luxurious compared to the broken walls outside.
While Li Wenli was entertaining the two, Bai Sasa quickly went back to the Snow Garden to dig up her elder sister, who was sound asleep in Brother Fox’s room.
Upon hearing that Yuwen Luanfei had arrived, Bai Junjun had to extract herself from her deep slumber.
At that moment, Li Wenli was explaining the injury on his neck to Yuwen Luanfei, but upon seeing Bai Junjun come in, he stopped talking. After making sure the young mistress was seated and pouring her tea, he continued his conversation with Yuwen Luanfei.
Wenren Pingting noticed Li Wenli’s care for Bai Junjun and secretly let a sense of gloom and loneliness fill her eyes.
Li Wenli, truly oblivious, finished serving the young mistress before continuing to speak.
"My injury is a bit of bad luck. Yesterday after we came back from the Prince’s Mansion, a neighbor’s kid knocked on our door saying their elder had gone missing, so we went to search for them. It took a lot of effort to find them," he said.
Yuwen Luanfei nodded, as he had already been briefed by his subordinates, but he still listened politely without interrupting, waiting for Li Wenli to finish quickly so he could conclude his visit and retreat—the dilapidation of the house was truly unbearable.
But to Yuwen Luanfei’s surprise, Li Wenli, seemingly unaware of Yuwen Luanfei’s eagerness to leave, broached a new topic.
"Your Highness, have you ever heard of Thousand Miles?" he asked.
"Thousand Miles?" Yuwen Luanfei’s eyebrows rose, his eyes showing a hint of curiosity, "Why do you ask about them?"
How could he not know of Thousand Miles?
This was an organization that had existed for four to five years, frequented by many officials and nobles to buy information.
Three years ago, when the country was in turmoil, the price of information from Thousand Miles skyrocketed.
Truth be told, many of Yuwen Luanfei’s useful pieces of information were purchased from Thousand Miles.
However, he had never personally visited; the errands were always run by Prime Minister Wenren, that is, Wenren Pingting’s father.
But... what does all this have to do with Li Wenli and Bai Junjun?
Li Wenli said, "Yesterday when we went looking for that person... we accidentally ended up at the headquarters of Thousand Miles."
Yuwen Luanfei was blowing on his tea when he heard this; he lost control of his breath and blew the tea and water everywhere.
