The two of them had been on a crazy journey and were now full and tired, so Liu Sheng found an inn to stay in.

The waiter led them the way and gave them a strange look.

Two men and one woman, living in one room?

What kind of weird relationship is this?

Judging from their clothes, they must be young men and women from wealthy families, and they don’t lack the money for those two guest rooms!

But he didn't dare to ask, so he took them in and left.

Liu Sheng made the bed and let Ye Qingwan sleep on it, while he and Ning Shaoqing slept on the floor.

Ye Qingwan smiled, took off her shoes and socks and went in. She was so tired that her eyelids were fighting each other. As soon as she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep.

"Master, where is my bed?" Ning Shaoqing blinked and looked at him.

Liu Sheng looked at him silently, then stood up and helped him spread a piece of floor on the ground: "Go to sleep."

"Okay." Ning Shaoqing immediately went in, yawned, and fell asleep.

After they fell asleep, Liu Sheng opened the door and went out to find the waiter, asking him to help book a boat: "Thank you for your trouble, the rest is your errand fee."

The road from here to Yuhang is all mountainous and difficult to walk on, but taking a boat is much more comfortable.

The waiter took the gold he handed over and his eyes lit up. He knew that the young man was rich, but he didn't expect him to be so rich.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." The waiter didn't even want to work anymore and ran to book a boat for him.

But his movements were too exaggerated and attracted the attention of the people drinking nearby. Seeing that he looked like a weak scholar and had money on him, several people immediately came up with bad ideas.

Liu Sheng smiled, shook his sleeves, and "accidentally" dropped the Jinyiwei badge.

Although he put it away quickly, a few people were sharp-eyed and saw it at a glance, and immediately put away their inappropriate thoughts.

There are two unwritten rules in the underworld: above the imperial court, do not provoke the Imperial Guards, and within the underworld, do not offend the undercurrents. Because both are not easy to deal with, they cannot afford to offend them.

Moreover, this person has an extraordinary appearance and is generous, so he is probably a big shot in the Jinyiwei.

Back in the room, Liu Sheng saw that both of them had kicked off the quilt. He smiled and sat down beside the bed, tucked the quilt in for her, kissed her forehead, and then prepared to go to sleep.

Passing by, I saw Ning Shaoqing had also kicked off his quilt and was curled up in a ball due to the cold.

I didn't want to pay attention to him and just walked over to him. But after two steps, I stopped, turned around, squatted down, and covered him with the quilt.

Then he made a bed on the floor next to him and went to sleep.

The next day they boarded a boat to Yuhang. Along the way they enjoyed the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers.

"When people are idle, sweet scented sweet osmanthus falls, and the spring mountains are empty in the quiet night. The rising moon startles the mountain birds, which sometimes sing in the spring stream." A young man on the same boat stood on the bridge and recited a poem with emotion.

Ning Shaoqing saw him swaying on the bow and couldn't help but remind him: "Young Master, you'd better get off quickly. If you fall into the water, not only will you scare away the mountain birds, but you'll also scare away the fish."

As soon as the words came out, everyone burst into laughter.

After two days of sailing, the boat finally docked. As soon as they got off the boat, people who had been waiting on the shore for a long time hurried to greet them.

"Brother Sheng, you are finally back." A man in his fifties, accompanied by a group of people, came over cordially.

Liu Sheng saluted him: "Second uncle."

Then he turned to the lady next to him and said, "Hello, Auntie."

"Okay, okay, it's good that you're back. You've been gone for more than ten years. You've grown up and I can't recognize you anymore."

As they were still talking, a young woman suddenly called out, "Cousin."

Liu Sheng looked over and seemed not to recognize him.

"Cousin, don't you recognize me? I'm Jianjia."

Liu Sheng then remembered that she was the daughter of his aunt's cousin, a distant relative, and they were not very close. But when she was a child, she also loved to run after them: "Hello, cousin."

When Jianjia heard him recalling it, her face immediately turned red.

"Go back first, the old lady is still waiting at home." Mrs. Liu, his aunt, said.

The group then walked towards the carriage, and Jianjia wanted to ride in the same carriage with him. But Liu Sheng pulled Ye Qingwan in, and then Ning Shaoqing squeezed in, and there was no room left.

Jianjia could only sit with Madam Liu: "Aunt, is cousin Sheng married?"

"How could that be possible? Your cousin Sheng is a very self-disciplined person. He doesn't even have a concubine in his house."

Madam Liu was extremely envious. When her eldest brother was alive, there was only her sister-in-law in the room, and he never took a concubine until his death. Unlike their house, it was full of smoke and foul smells.

My sister-in-law was such a blessed person, but it's a pity that she died young.

After returning to Liu Mansion, they went to pay a visit to the old lady first.

"After she got older, the old lady loved to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. She also didn't allow us to bother her on weekdays. If it weren't for you, Brother Sheng, coming back today, we wouldn't dare to bother her."

Mrs. Liu walked and talked all the way until she entered the house, then she stopped.

"Grandson greets grandmother." Liu Sheng knelt down and bowed deeply.

The old lady was white-haired but energetic. She hurried to help him up and said, "Good boy, get up quickly and let grandma take a good look at you."

He grew up in the old lady's house and followed her teachings. Naturally, the old lady was closer to him than to other brothers and sisters.

He had been gone for more than ten years, and when they suddenly met, the old lady's eyes became a little red.

Liu Sheng helped her sit back down. "Grandma taught me when I was young that I should be strong and independent when encountering difficulties and not cry easily. How come I forgot that?"

Section 163

The old lady burst into laughter and tapped his head gently: "You little brat, you are starting to educate your grandmother."

Liu Sheng smiled and suddenly waved to Ye Qingwan: "Come here."

Ye Qingwan and Ning Shaoqing were originally hiding at the back, but were suddenly called out and instantly became the focus.

She walked over a little awkwardly and saluted to the Madam: "Greetings, Madam."

"Call me grandma." Liu Sheng reminded her.

Ye Qingwan looked up at him in astonishment, only to see that he had a smile on his face and seemed very serious.

As if possessed by some mysterious force, he changed his words and called out, "Grandma."

As soon as the words came out, everyone present looked at each other. They all knew what this girl was, but they just didn't know whose family this girl was.

The lady smiled brightly and responded warmly, "Hey, good boy, come and sit with grandma."

After saying that, she stretched out her hand towards her. Ye Qingwan had no choice but to extend her hand in return. The lady pulled her to sit beside her and began to ask her what her name was.

Ye Qingwan could only answer truthfully. After hearing this, everyone looked unhappy.

Ye Qingwan?

Could it be Ye Qingwan, the only daughter of the prime minister, who was named a princess, married to the grassland, and later became a concubine in the Ninth Prince's Palace?

My grandmother liked her very much: "So she is the only daughter of the Prime Minister. No wonder she is so heroic, free and unrestrained."

"Our brother Sheng is good in every way except that he is introverted. He keeps his emotions secret deep in his heart. He needs to be with someone as free and easy as Miss Ye, only then can he live a comfortable life." The grandmother's eyes were full of love.

As soon as these words were spoken, even someone as slow-witted as Ye Qingwan knew what they meant and looked at Liu Sheng silently.

Liu Sheng also looked at her, with a smile in his eyes.

Ning Shaoqing has a dark face, what's the introverted personality? I see that one of you plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop, and each of you has a different face.
