Meishu looked at Cheng Ying's back, then retracted her gaze and said softly, "Miss San, please bring the rabbit here. Meishu will take good care of it."

Yu Jiao thanked him and said, "Miss Meishu, I'll take my leave now."

Meishu watched her chase after Cheng Ying, and noticed that the Supervisor, who had already reached the gate of the courtyard, seemed to slow down his pace. A trace of deep thought flashed across Meishu's eyes.

She squatted down nonchalantly, picked up the rabbit on the ground, sighed softly, and decided that next time she saw Sister Miwu, she would have to persuade her to give up her thoughts about Du Gong.

After leaving Lianxi Temple, Yu Jiao saw Cheng Ying getting on the carriage. She lowered her eyes and said, "Goodbye, Governor. Yuning will also be returning home soon."

Cheng Ying raised her eyes and glanced at her, "Come up." The low voice was intimidating.

Yu Jiao frowned slightly and said calmly, "Yu Ning also came by carriage, so I won't bother you any more."

Cheng Ying raised her eyebrows, and her narrow eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc.

Xia Ning, who was driving, made a gesture of invitation to Yu Jiao.

After a moment's stalemate, Yu Jiao ordered Wei San to drive back home first, and then reluctantly got on Cheng Ying's carriage.

After Yu Jiao sat down in the car, Xia Ning let go, lowered the curtain, and drove down the mountain.

Yu Jiao sat stiffly, while Cheng Ying leaned against the wall of the carriage, staring at Yu Jiao with deep eyes. After a long silence, he spoke lazily, "The eunuchs under my command have all adopted many godsons, so that there will be someone to take care of them in their old age. Do you think I should also find someone to keep as a backup?"

Yu Jiao didn't understand what Cheng Ying meant by this, so she said cautiously, "The governor is young and promising, and in good health. He will surely live a long life."

"You are good at saying nice things to please me." Cheng Ying raised the corner of his lips, "I also think that adopting a godson is boring. It is better to adopt a godson."

Yu Jiao smiled perfunctorily and said something nice, "It should be a blessing for that person to be recognized as the adopted daughter by the governor." But in her heart, she thought, who is so unlucky to be favored by Cheng Ying? Although Cheng Ying is extremely powerful, it is ridiculous for him to recognize a eunuch as his adoptive father.

Cheng Ying looked at her quietly, the smile in her eyes deepening, "Do you really think so?"

Yu Jiao nodded obediently. She realized that even someone like Cheng Ying liked to hear nice words.

Cheng Ying also nodded slightly and said with a smile, "That's good."

After hearing this, Yu Jiao felt that there seemed to be some deeper meaning behind this, but she couldn't figure it out for the moment. Through the curtain, she saw the carriage enter Zanmao Hutong, and she felt relieved. She had originally been a little worried that Cheng Ying was going to take her somewhere else.

"Governor, we're here." The carriage stopped outside the Liu Mansion, and Xia Ning spoke respectfully from outside the carriage.

Yu Jiao lifted the carriage curtain, got off the carriage, turned around and thanked Cheng Ying, "Thank you, Governor, for sending Yuning back home."

Cheng Ying bent down and got off the carriage. He straightened his wrinkled hem and turned to look at Yu Jiao. "Let's go."

Yu Jiao looked puzzled, not understanding why Cheng Ying came to Liu's house. Her father was still in the Imperial Examination Hall and not at home.

She couldn't stop Cheng Ying from entering the house, so she had to follow Cheng Ying into the house and asked cautiously, "What's the matter with the governor coming to our house? My father is not at home..."

"I forgot that Liu Yu is still in the Imperial Examination Hall. In that case, please ask your mother to come and see me." Cheng Ying seemed to be in a good mood and walked into the flower hall and sat down with ease.

Yu Jiao ordered the servants to invite Madam Liu, and personally brought tea to Cheng Ying.

When Madam Liu in the backyard heard that Cheng Ying was coming, she felt as if she was facing a great enemy. She hurriedly sent a servant to the Marquis of Annan's mansion to bring back Liu Ziqi, and then hurried to the flower hall.

"I wonder what brings you here, Governor?" Although Madam Liu was afraid of Cheng Ying's reputation, she was the mistress of the house after all. After entering the flower hall and sitting down, she asked with pretended calmness.

"I like your third daughter very much. I am willing to adopt her as my adopted daughter." Cheng Ying leaned back in his chair. His aura subsided a lot. With a faint smile on his face, he stared at Yu Jiao.
