Liu Sheng hadn't been home for more than ten years. This time he came back from Kyoto all the way. People didn't know why he had to mobilize so many troops.

Now I know that this person brought Miss Ye back specially to meet the old lady.

This made the ladies and young ladies who had been interested in him very sad. They had finally got the chance, but they didn't expect that Miss Ye would get there first.

Ye Qingwan was being talked to by her grandmother, and everyone understood what was going on. Suddenly, Ning Shaoqing jumped out from behind her and said, "Grandma, there's still me."

There was a sound of tea spitting out at the scene, and everyone's eyes changed when looking at Liu Sheng.

What, what is going on?

Is their brother Sheng a homosexual?

Ye Qingwan covered her mouth and tried her best to endure it. Qingqing, it still has to be you.

Brave Ox, not afraid of difficulties.

The old lady looked at Liu Sheng in surprise. Liu Sheng sighed helplessly and said to his grandmother with a smile: "His name is Ning Shaoqing, a friend in the martial arts world. He likes to make trouble on weekdays."

Ning Shaoqing bared his teeth at him. Who was making trouble?

You all have grandmothers, I want to have a grandmother too, what's wrong? Is there a problem?

Seeing him like this, the grandmother couldn't help but laugh: "It is said that people in the underworld are not fussy about trivial matters. Now it seems that it is true. If our brother Sheng is half as enthusiastic, cheerful, and carefree as you, grandma would be very happy."

As he said this, he called him over to sit with him.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Madam Liu suddenly brought up the matter of Ye Qingwan entering the palace as a concubine.

The old lady immediately coughed and ordered the visitor to leave.

"Okay, all of you go back and do your own things. I want to talk to Brother Sheng."

"Mother, I had someone clean up Brother Sheng's room a few days ago, but I didn't expect there would be two guests. I'll have someone clean up the two side rooms. Miss Ye will be in the backyard with her sisters. What do you think, mother?" Madam Liu asked her.

Without waiting for the old lady to speak, Liu Sheng said, "Don't bother Auntie, she can just live in my room. I'll have someone clean up the study room and I'll live in it."

Everyone's faces became even uglier. How much does Brother Sheng like Miss Ye? Normally, even the maids are not allowed to enter his room.

"Brother Sheng, Miss Ye is a female relative. If she lives in your house, it won't sound good if it gets out."

"It's okay. Miss Ye is the only daughter of the Prime Minister. She and her mother are the only two women in the backyard. She probably doesn't understand the twists and turns of the backyard. If she really moves in, it will be very inconvenient."

The old lady's words made Lord Liu and Madam Liu blush.

Isn't their backyard full of twists and turns and a mess?

So he agreed and asked someone to take Ye Qingwan and others over.

Ye Qingwan originally followed the servants, but Liu Sheng quickly caught up with her: "Aren't you talking to your grandmother?"

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "I'll take you there first."

He led her to the gate of the yard, then stopped and told her: "Stay in the yard. If you have any questions, ask the servants. I will be back soon."

Ye Qingwan nodded to show that she understood.

Liu Sheng smiled and patted her head: "Good girl."

He watched her enter the yard before leaving and turning back to his grandmother's house.

"Are you bringing her back this time to be included in the family tree?"

Liu Sheng shook his head: "I just want my grandmother to see it."

"When grandma saw this, she was very happy. But there are some things that grandma has to tell you. Don't throw a person like Miss Ye, who is like a fallen fairy, into the sewage and mud."

She looked at Ye Qingwan, not only feeling fondness but also envy. Wasn't that the way she wanted to live when she was young?

Unfortunately, she was ultimately trapped in this inner house, so she didn't want Miss Ye to follow in her footsteps.

"Don't worry, grandma. I can't bear to leave you." He had lived in the backyard since he was a child and had seen too many women in the backyard using dirty tricks to win favor.

He was glad that his father only loved his mother and never let her suffer any trouble.

When he returned to the yard, he found her standing in the house, staring at the portrait on the wall in a daze. He smiled and leaned over: "What are you looking at?"

Ye Qingwan turned around and looked at him, her eyes shining: "Who is this? So pretty."

Just looking at the portrait, one can feel quiet and elegant, especially the eyes, which are shining and tender, silent but seem to have a thousand words, very similar to Taifu's.

Liu Sheng smiled, put his arms around her waist and pulled her into his arms, put his forehead against hers, and whispered, "This is my mother."

Ye Qingwan heard this and looked up into his eyes. They are really alike. It turns out that the gentleness of the old master is inherited. I am envious. My mother only inherited that from me. Woohoo: "Your mother is so beautiful."

Liu Sheng was amused by her and laughed: "I think you look better."

Ye Qingwan felt a little embarrassed by him: "That's different."

"Yes, they are different. My mother's beauty is like a clear spring, gentle and peaceful, while you are like a gorgeous rose, wantonly and flamboyant."

"I'm a chili pepper, very spicy." Ye Qingwan broke free from his arms and ran out.

No wonder people say scholars are the best at lying. They can easily say coaxing words, which made the tips of her ears turn red.

As soon as she came out, Ning Shaoqing came in with a string of candied haws: "Try this quickly, it's delicious, better than the candied haws in the capital."

As he spoke, he put the candied haws close to her mouth. Ye Qingwan grabbed his hand, bit off one, and nodded: "Mm, it's delicious."

"Let's go out and play. It's lively outside." Ning Shaoqing encouraged her.

Ye Qingwan shook her head: "No, we are guests at Liu's house, we can't be too wild, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to others."

Ning Shaoqing was a little disappointed, but he still went back to his room and went to sleep obediently.

On the second day, Madam Liu held a banquet in her house to welcome Liu Sheng.

Originally he wanted to have his relatives get together, but unexpectedly all the adults, wealthy businessmen, and famous ladies from famous families came. They said they hadn't seen Lord Liu and Madam Liu for a long time, but in fact everyone knew they came for Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng is very young, but he is the Taifu of the current dynasty, one of the three highest officials, and he is still unmarried. Who wouldn't be tempted?

Even if I can't get into the relationship with him, it's good to be able to show my face in front of him.

Ye Qingwan didn't want to go at first. She hated these gatherings and banquets the most. They were just a bunch of people and very noisy.

But Madam Liu felt that since Brother Sheng liked her, she would be the eldest son's legitimate wife in the future, so she had to meet all these people.

So he found an excuse and dragged her over.

As soon as she appeared, the ladies from prominent families found out her identity and looked at her strangely.

Ye Qingwan was getting a little annoyed sitting there, and when she saw the Grand Tutor being entangled by that group of adults, she simply slipped away.

When she passed by the pavilion beside the pond, a woman suddenly came towards her and blocked her way: "Hello, Miss Ye."

Ye Qingwan glanced at her and confirmed with her eyes that she didn't know her, but she still greeted her politely: "Hello."

"Miss Ye, are you going back?"

"Yes, I'm feeling a little unwell." Then he walked forward.

When passing by her, Ye Qingwan's shoulder somehow touched her, and she immediately slipped and fell towards the pond.

Ye Qingwan was quick to act and grabbed her.

She stared at Ye Qingwan in astonishment. She probably didn't expect that Ye Qingwan was so agile that he could grab her in one go.

So he simply turned his wrist, broke free from Ye Qingwan's hand, and fell into the pond with a "thump".

In an instant, water splashed everywhere.

Ye Qingwan: ...

Little bitch, you're playing dirty, right?

Then you have really found the wrong person. I, your aunt, am the originator of green tea.

While I was playing with the netherworld, you were still playing with the mud.

As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to jump.

Isn't it just playing the victim? It's like everyone can do it?

Later I will pretend to choke on water and pass out, and then you will be in big trouble.

Section 164

Of course, it would be best to find an opportunity to kick her a few times before she passes out.

As the saying goes, beating is love, scolding is care, and if love is not enough, kick.

But as soon as she stood on tiptoe, someone pushed her back.

She turned her head and met the gentle smile of the tutor, who pulled her aside and wiped the water stains off her face.

The two men happened to be standing at the entrance of the pond, blocking the servant who was about to jump in to save the people.

There was a loud thrashing in the water, and the group of people were running around in panic, but they didn't dare to say anything. Liu Sheng was the highest official here, and if he didn't say anything, who would dare to save her?

Ye Qingwan glanced at her and it seemed that the girl was unable to move.

After a long while, seeing that there was no movement in the water, Liu Sheng slowly asked people to fish out the drowning person below.

Doesn't she like falling into the water? Then drink a few more sips of water before coming up, so that she won't always be thinking about things that don't belong to her in the future.
