Madam always runs away from home [Interstellar]

David was eating breakfast leisurely in the dining room, when the attendant from the residence suddenly reported, "Your Highness, the major general's wife is looking for you."

"Now?" David asked the attendant in surprise, he looked at the time, it was not yet ten o'clock.

The attendant replied meticulously: "Yes, I have arranged for the major general's wife to wait for you in the living room."

David hurriedly put down the knife and fork, got up and left the seat, and went straight to the living room.As soon as he walked in, he saw Ren Xiao sitting there with his head bowed.David realized that something was wrong, so he hurried up to Ren Xiao and asked him, "Why didn't you notify me in advance?"

Ren Xiao stood up abruptly when he heard David's voice.He looked at David seriously, and begged, "I want you to contact someone for me to confirm something."

"Okay, I'll help you." David saw that Ren Xiao was agitated, and something was really wrong.He pulled Ren Xiao to sit down, and said to him comfortingly, "Sit down first, and talk slowly if you have something to say."

After the attendants left, Ren Xiao asked David, "Do you know Professor Theodore in the Academy of Astronomy?"

David: "I've heard of it, but I don't know him. Are you going to ask him something?"

Ren Xiao nodded, but he was a little depressed when he heard David say that he didn't know him.

David also saw Ren Xiao's mood changes, and patted his chest and said to Ren Xiao, "Although I don't know him, I can help you get in touch. Even if I don't participate in politics, my prince status is not just a show."

"Thank you." Ren Xiao looked at David gratefully, his eyes filled with hope again.

Afterwards, David sent two text messages and easily got Theodore's communication number.Before dialing the video call, Ren Xiao asked David again: "Video call for a while, can you help me with the interview? I don't want Professor Theodore to know that I want to ask."

"Why?" David blurted out after listening to Ren Xiao's words.

"Because..." Ren Xiao hesitated to speak, he was hesitating whether to tell David the truth.Later, he will rely on David to help him with the questioning. If he doesn't speak, David probably doesn't know how to help him.But if you tell him the truth, Ren Xiao can't imagine how he will react when he finds out.

"Okay, don't force it!" Just when Ren Xiao was hesitating, David suddenly interrupted him.

Seeing Ren Xiao's hesitation, he knew that it was difficult to say something, David didn't want to force him, and said to him directly: "If you can't say it, don't say it, even if you don't know the details, I'm willing to help you."

"Thank you, David. You are really the biggest gain for me since I came here." Ren Xiao said gratefully, holding David's hand.

"What about Erich? If he hears you say that, he will really cry." David asked Ren Xiao with a smile, but his heart was extremely happy.Without waiting for Ren Xiao to reply, he put away his laughter and said to Ren Xiao seriously, "Okay, I won't make trouble with you anymore. Tell me, what do you need me to ask for you?"

After a while, after Ren Xiao finished explaining the question, David dialed Professor Theodore's video call without stopping.When the two were talking, Ren Xiao was hiding behind the monitor, facing David, he could give him a little reminder, and he could also ensure that he would not be seen by the people on the other end of the video.

As soon as Theodore connected to the video, he saw David's face appearing on the display screen, and he was a little speechless in shock.

Because David had never been in contact with Theodore, he first introduced himself to him: "Professor Theodore, I am the Ninth Prince David."

Of course Theodore knew that he was the Ninth Prince, otherwise he wouldn't be so nervous.David's self-introduction made Theodore feel relieved, and quickly asked him respectfully, "I am Theodore. How dare you ask Your Highness what you want from me?"

David: "I want to ask you a question."

Theodore: "Yes, please speak, Your Highness."

David: "Did you know that there is a planet called 'Earth' in the solar system?"

Uh...why is this question again!Seeing David's menacing appearance, Theodore dared not answer for a moment.He knew that Erich was very familiar with him, the last time he helped Erich to lie to Ren Xiao, it was already against the rules.He originally thought that no one would know, and the matter would be covered up quietly.But now that David found him and asked him this question suddenly, Theodore had to feel that his question had other meanings.The more cautious he was, the less he dared to answer easily.

"How about it, do you know?" Seeing Theodore's silence and embarrassment in deep thought, David began to feel that something was wrong.So, David raised his eyebrows and raised his voice to put pressure on Theodore, "You are Taz's astronomy authority. You once organized a research team to investigate the universe for more than 100 years. If the earth really exists, you don't Maybe you don't know?"

"Why is Your Highness suddenly interested in this?" Theodore felt the pressure in David's words, but he didn't dare to answer rashly before he figured out David's intentions, so he had to ask David to delay.

Seeing that he didn't answer honestly, David pretended to be angry and said: "Don't change the subject for me, I'm asking you now. If you don't answer me honestly, I can ask other people. If I don't Ask the answer, but get it from other people, do you know what the consequences of your authoritative professor will be?"

"...Okay, I will answer Your Highness truthfully." Under David's repeated threats, Theodore finally couldn't stand it anymore and decided to tell him the answer.

Ren Xiao stood behind the display screen, held his breath, and pricked up his ears, waiting for his answer.

"some."

When Ren Xiao heard these two words from Theodore's mouth, his heart was completely cold, and his face changed instantly.After David saw it, he was a little flustered, and couldn't help confirming to Theodore again: "Are you sure?"

Theodore said with great certainty: "Your Highness, I am sure that there is indeed a planet named 'Earth' in the solar system."

Seeing Ren Xiao's ugly expression just now, David almost lost his senses.After he calmed down, he continued to ask Theodore: "Has anyone else asked you this question?"

"..."

Theodore hesitated, he didn't dare to answer easily.The question David asked was so specific, it seemed as if he knew somewhere that he had lied about it.

"Who else? Say!" Seeing his hesitation, David asked him again sharply, "Professor, do you have to tell you the consequences of silence and lying before you speak?"

"You hit the mark, Your Highness." Theodore didn't dare to resist anymore, and replied honestly, "Major General Erich, he asked me the same question two weeks ago."

David raised his eyebrows and continued to ask: "Did you answer him that way?"

"...Yes." Theodore sighed silently in his heart, lamenting why he was so unlucky.

At this time, David looked at Ren Xiao behind the screen.Ren Xiao's expression gradually returned to calm, and he waved his hand at David, signaling him not to ask any more questions.

Yes, there is no need to ask any more questions.From Theodore's reply just now, he has already figured it out thoroughly. Erich colluded with Theodore and played a scene in front of him to deceive himself.

After hanging up the video call, David walked up to Ren Xiao and asked him worriedly, "Are you okay? You look so ugly..."

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry. Thank you for helping me without asking anything, but I..." At this point, Ren Xiao paused for a moment, then he looked directly at David and explained to him, " Forgive me for not being able to explain this Central Plains Committee to you now, and I will tell you all when the time is right. But please believe me, I don’t mean that I don’t trust you, I just don’t want to implicate you until the matter is inconclusive Go in and cause more trouble for you."

"I understand, you don't need to explain so much to me." After David comforted Ren Xiao, he asked him again, "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Ren Xiao shook his head at him, "It's enough. I plan to go back, I've been here to bother you for so long."

David was very worried seeing Ren Xiao's mental state, "Is your mental state okay? Do you want me to call Nilan to pick you up?"

"No need, I'll just go back by myself." Ren Xiao was in a mess and wanted to be alone.

"Then be careful." David couldn't help telling him.

He saw that Ren Xiao was absent-minded, so he couldn't stop him any more.After Ren Xiao walked out of the room, he ordered the guards in the mansion, "Follow quietly behind the major general's wife to ensure his safety."

After Ren Xiao left David's house, he didn't go back to the Major General's Mansion immediately, but wandered aimlessly outside alone.He originally thought that when he learned the truth, he would be so angry that he would rush directly to Erich and question him.But he didn't, the emotions gathered in his heart now were more sad than angry.The fact that Erich lied to him brought him emotional impact and damage far greater than the fact that the earth still exists.

Ren Xiao suddenly realized that his emotions began to be affected by Erich's behavior, and he could no longer be as decisive as when he first came here.If it was the past, he would probably immediately prepare to set off to return to Earth, but now he hesitates.He had to admit that now Erich's weight in his heart was different from before.

However, his grandparents who are far away on the earth are also his indelible concerns.Now that he has learned the fact of the existence of the earth, he can no longer stay here alone and enjoy life with peace of mind like before.

With love on the one hand and filial piety on the other, Ren Xiao was caught in a dilemma again...
