After the prince was able to travel through time, he stopped rolling!

The person the prince was going to look for this time was Situ Junwen, a close friend of the little prince who had made friends when he left the palace some time ago. However, Situ Junwen did not know the little prince's true identity and only thought he was a rich young man.

When the little prince went out, he used the pseudonym Xiao Ruize.

"Xiao Dezi, is Situ really the son of our Shangshu?"

The young prince was quite surprised. He originally thought that Situ Junwen was a poor scholar. He did not expect that the result he found was really too surprising.

It turns out that Situ Junwen's father is actually the current Shangshu Situ Leighton. However, Situ Junwen was born to a concubine and has been suppressed by his stepmother since birth. He is even worse than himself who is in the royal family.

Although his biological mother was once favored by his father, she was bullied in the mansion because of her low status. Situ Junwen grew up under the shadow of his stepmother, who regarded him as a thorn in her side and often found excuses to beat and scold him.

The servants in the mansion took advantage of the situation and treated him coldly, even deliberately cutting down on his food, clothing, housing and transportation. In the cold winter, he was wearing thin clothes, there was little charcoal in the house, and he was shivering with cold.

Despite this, Situ Junwen showed extraordinary intelligence and perseverance. He studied hard in secret in a difficult environment, often reading by moonlight. With his extraordinary talent and unremitting efforts, he made great achievements in learning.

However, his talent was not appreciated, but aroused the jealousy and framing of his brothers, who deliberately falsely accused Situ Junwen of misconduct in front of their father, causing him to be reprimanded by his father.

But Situ Junwen was not discouraged, he knew that only if he was strong enough could he change his fate. So he worked harder to hone himself, waiting for the day when he could soar to the sky.

Originally, Xuanyuan Ruize was not going to use him, but after seeing what happened to him, he really felt sympathy for him.

"It's him"

Xuanyuan Ruize brought Xiao Dezi to Situ Junwen's residence

"Knock on the door!"

bang bang bang

"Mom, I'll go open the door," said Situ Junwen, who was having dinner with his mother. It turned out that because of the suppression of his stepmother and his father's cold-eyed observation, Situ Junwen had taken his mother away from the Shangshu Mansion. Before leaving, he said something to Stuart Leighton, and he actually gave a letter to Situ Junwen's mother to release him as a concubine.

squeak~

"Brother Xiao, how do you know where I live?"

When Situ opened the door and saw Xuanyuan Ruize and his guards, he was a little surprised. He had not told Brother Xiao where he lived, and he didn't want anyone to disturb his mother.

"Wen'er, who is it?" a soft voice came.

"Mom, it's Brother Xiao who came to visit us." Situ Junwen replied quickly.

"Oh, it's Mr. Xiao. Please come in." There was a sound of footsteps in the house, and a haggard woman came out. She was Situ Junwen's mother.

"Hello, Madam." Xuanyuan Ruize greeted politely.

“Mother is the friend of her child”

"You kid, let someone in quickly." At this time, Situ Junwenwen's mother also came out and hurried to help him greet Xuanyuan Ruize.

"Ma'am, excuse me for disturbing you." Xuanyuan Ruize respectfully bowed as a junior.

Seeing this scene, Situ Junwen was happy. His greatest wish was that his mother could be respected.

"Come on, come on, come in quickly, what's wrong with this child? Hurry up and ask your friend to come in." Situ Junwen's mother called Xuanyuan Ruize from below, while speaking to Situ Junwen in a blaming tone.

"Kid, what's your name? This is the first time a friend has come to our house to look for Junwen!"

"I'm Xiao Ruize, the junior. Madam, you can just call me Ruize." Xuanyuan Ruize is also a very outgoing person.

Since we have decided to use Situ Junwen, we will definitely give respect to his mother.

"Mother, I will take Brother Xiao to the study, you can take a rest."

"Okay, okay, you chat. I'm sleepy too. I'm going back to the room." Situ Junwen's mother knew that the two might have something to talk about, so she went along with the words and left.

"Brother Xiao, I'm sorry." Xuanyuan Ruize admitted his mistake as soon as he arrived

Looking at the cold Situ Junwen, Xuanyuan Ruize felt a little embarrassed.

"Tell me, you really went to so much trouble to find me, so there must be something wrong, right?" In fact, Situ Junwen liked Xuanyuan Ruize more as a friend. When they got along, he could see that he was very knowledgeable despite his young age.

"It's like this, Brother Situ, I would like to ask you to help me manage my business. I wonder if Brother Situ is willing?" Xuanyuan Ruize asked Situ Junwen.

"This..." Situ Junwen hesitated. He knew his current situation and didn't want to get involved in any disputes.

"Brother Xiao, I'm afraid I can't handle such an important task." Situ Junwen shook his head and refused. He knew that his goal was to enter the government through the imperial examination. If he joined the business world at this time, it would mean losing the opportunity to take the imperial examination.

"It's okay. I understand Brother Situ's concerns, but please listen to me." Xuanyuan Ruize looked at Situ Junwen and said seriously, "Actually, my last name is not Xiao. Xuanyuan is my last name."

"Brother Xiao, you..." Situ Junwen opened his mouth in surprise, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

"Brother Situ, I understand your concerns at the moment, but please believe that I recognize you. Although we have known each other for a short time, I firmly believe that you have the talent for business. In addition, I will fully support you and provide the necessary resources and guidance. Even in business, you can achieve brilliant success." Xuanyuan Ruize said earnestly.

Situ Junwen secretly guessed Xuanyuan Ruize's true identity. After careful consideration, he felt that this might be a rare opportunity worth a try. After all, helping His Royal Highness the Crown Prince manage the industry is not that simple, and it may bring unexpected gains.

"Okay, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts me so much, I am willing to give it a try." Situ Junwen finally nodded in agreement.

"Great, then it's settled. You will come with me to deal with the property tomorrow." Xuanyuan Ruize said happily.

"Well, thank you for your trust, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Situ Junwen said gratefully.

“You’re welcome. We’re a family from now on. Just call me Brother Xiao,” Xuanyuan Ruize said with a smile.

In this way, Situ Junwen became Xuanyuan Ruize's right-hand man and started a new life.

The two walked out of the study together

"Then Brother Situ, I'll leave first. I'll take you to the shop tomorrow and we'll discuss the follow-up matters."

"Okay, I'll give it to you"

"Brother Situ, please stay."

The little prince waved his hand and left with his men.

At this time, Situ Junwen's mother came out

"Wen'er, Ruize looked very important just now. Please pay attention to your own status when you are together."

"Mom, I know, don't worry about it."

"Well, he seems to be a good kid, and it's good to be friends with him sincerely," Situ Junwen's mother said to herself.

Situ Junwen knew what his mother was worried about, but he didn't say too much. It was better not to let his mother know about his identity as the prince, otherwise she would be terrified after knowing it. He was also severely suppressed in the backyard and had no support from his mother's family.

In the future, Xuanyuan Ruize's career will flourish with the help of Situ Junwen, and Situ Junwen will also help his mother obtain a noble status as he wished. Of course, this is all a story for later.
