Ye Qingwan followed King Xiang back to the capital. He did not bring any army with him, but his own 10,000 personal soldiers.

Looking back at that huge and disciplined army of 10,000, the oppressive force was simply overwhelming. No wonder the emperor wanted to banish him to the south. He had 10,000 personal soldiers alone. If he returned to Beijing, who could defeat him?

The Ninth Prince went ahead of them, as he had to go back to Jiangnan to handle the handover of some work.

After stopping and walking on the road for more than half a month, they finally returned to the capital.

The moment Ye Qingwan saw the tower of the capital, tears welled up in her eyes. Even though this was a novel, she had lived here for a long time and still had some feelings for it.

"Wan'er."

The carriage of the prime minister's mansion had stopped on the road early. When Ye Qingwan saw her parents, she quickly jumped off the horse and rushed over, hugging the two elders and crying.

The old tutor also came, but he was ordered to welcome the King of Xiang: "Your Highness, the King of Xiang, His Majesty has ordered me to wait here respectfully."

"Long time no see. Lord Liu has been promoted to Grand Tutor. Congratulations." King Xiang spoke in a sarcastic tone, as if mocking him.

This is strange. King Xiang is a bold and unrestrained person. If he thinks you are not good, he will say it to your face. He rarely mocks others like this. Could it be that there is some unknown secret between the two of them?

Liu Sheng just smiled without saying anything. He ordered his men to escort King Xiang into the city. He only took one hundred of his ten thousand personal soldiers with him, and the rest were to go to the army garrison in the suburbs.

King Xiang didn't say anything. He waved his hand and asked them to disperse. He followed the eunuchs in the palace into the city to meet the emperor.

After settling Prince Xiang, Liu Sheng suddenly walked towards the Prime Minister and the others. Ye Qingwan noticed the girl who had been following him.

"Dad, has the Grand Tutor gotten married?" Ye Qingwan asked her father secretly.

Logically speaking, you shouldn't bring your wife along to such occasions, even if you're married.

"Not yet, but more than half a month ago, he suddenly went to the home of the Minister of Justice and brought her to his house. I guess he must have proposed marriage."

Minister of Justice?!

Ye Qingwan was startled: "She is...Mianmian?"

The Prime Minister nodded: "Do you know her?"

Ye Qingwan: ...

I know him too well.

How did she appear so soon? According to the original plot, she had to go to Liu Mansion to ask the old tutor to save the Minister of Justice when he was about to fall.

After this request, she fell in love with the old tutor at first sight and decided to marry him. She stayed in Liu Mansion and took care of the old tutor's daily life and food.

Later, the heroine gave the wrong medicine and almost had a violent affair with the old master. However, they were caught by Mianmian who came to deliver soup and ruined their affair.

So it's true that she did move into Liu Sheng's house, but... aren't you too anxious? You moved in more than half a month ago?

While he was talking, the old tutor had already walked over, bowed to the Prime Minister first, and then looked at Ye Qingwan, but did not say anything, just smiled.

Ye Qingwan felt a little scared by his gaze, so she could only bow and say, "Greetings, Master."

Liu Sheng nodded and smiled, "Are you back?"

"I'm back. Thank you for your concern, Master."

"You must be tired after the long journey. Let's go back quickly." Liu Sheng said, and suddenly reached out to gently help her brush away the fallen leaves on her shoulders. Without saying anything else, he turned around and followed King Xiang's footsteps.

As soon as he left, the Prime Minister asked her, "Some time ago, someone sent Xia's old servant to the Ministry of Justice. Did you do it?"

Ye Qingwan quickly shook her head: "Dad, I was still in the quarry at that time."

After listening to it, the Prime Minister nodded with satisfaction: "Then it seems that it was indeed done by the Ninth Prince."

The Ninth Prince?!

What does he want to do now?

Forget it, forget it. His character has already collapsed anyway, so it doesn’t matter if it happens once or twice.

Ye Qingwan was too lazy to get angry, so she just followed the plot with peace of mind.

"In that case, he really has no such intention towards the little concubine of the Xia family, otherwise he would not have taken action against her biological brother." The Prime Minister said this to himself again.

Ye Qingwan: ...

What's the meaning?

Dad, you're not attracted to Nangong Muyun, are you?

You are adding drama, which is illegal.

"When the Ninth Prince comes back, pick out some suitable gifts and personally deliver them to him to thank him on behalf of your father."

I was speechless. Ye Qingwan wanted to curse, but I gave him a gift? I sent him away...

On the way back, she opened the complaint panel.

[Why did this Mian Mian appear in advance? Or did the old master personally go to the home of the Minister of Justice to pick her up? Could it be that he has fallen in love with this Mian Mian? This is not okay. If the old master falls in love with that Mian Mian, what will happen to the heroine? ]

How to act out the fact that the old tutor is still obsessed with the heroine?

If there was no such obsession, how could the old master willingly join the heroine's camp and make plans for her? Wouldn't the plot be completely messed up? 】

[No, I absolutely cannot let the old master fall in love with this Mianmian. I have to find a way to break up the couple and mess them up.]

[But how can I mess it up? How about I move in to the old master's house? I pester the old master every day and don't let them meet? But if I take the initiative to live in someone else's house, wouldn't that be too much? If my father knew, would he break my legs...]

Seeing Liu Sheng complaining, he smiled silently.

"What are you laughing at, Master Liu?" King Xiang easily caught Liu Sheng's little expression.

Liu Sheng cupped his hands and said, "Nothing special, I just thought of some interesting past events."

"Is it an interesting thing, or an interesting person?" King Xiang was sarcastic and aggressive, as if he had disliked him for a long time and took the opportunity to choke him.

Liu Sheng was not angry, still smiling: "Interesting things happened to interesting people."

Prince Xiang had a look of astonishment, and then changed the subject: "It's been a long time since I've competed with Master Liu in archery. I wonder when Master Liu will do me the honor?"

"I dare not. Your Highness is a general. You are as good as a god in commanding troops and as quick as a ghost in action. I am just a civilian official. How dare I challenge Your Highness to a challenge?"

King Xiang said disdainfully: "You used this excuse to deceive me in the past. I didn't expect that even now that you are appointed as the Grand Tutor, you are still so cunning."

Liu Sheng smiled but said nothing. King Xiang glanced at him and said, "The only way I can do is to make people use their full strength."

After saying this, he kicked the horse's belly and left.

Ye Qingwan returned to the prime minister's residence and stayed talking to her mother after dinner until she fell asleep, then she quietly left.

After returning to her room, she began to think of a way. What excuse could she use to live in the old lady's house openly?

Oh, it’s so annoying.

The original author is so awesome, none of the characters he created are normal.

I'm so worried.

I was worried until the next morning, when the maid suddenly brought in a letter of remonstrance: "Miss, this is a letter of remonstrance from His Royal Highness Prince Xiang, saying that he invites you to a gathering at his mansion."

Ye Qingwan was speechless. Why did he invite me? He should invite the heroine!

"No, no." Ye Qingwan refused without even thinking about it, but immediately added: "Just say I'm sick and can't go out."

"But His Royal Highness Prince Xiang is just outside the door..."

Ye Qingwan: ...

Really? Domineering? Not particular about details? His Royal Highness Prince Xiang.
