To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 35 Rich and Willful

  Sheng Saburo thought he heard it wrong: "What did my cousin say?"

  Luo Sheng looked calm: "I like to eat tofu nao made by this ugly mother-in-law, and I am going to take her away."

  The corner of Sheng Sanlang's mouth twitched after making sure he heard correctly.

   You have to get what you like, this, isn't this the behavior of a dude!

  Sheng Saburo slowed down, and said with a dry smile: "Cousin, this is not suitable, right? They sell tofu brains very well, so how can they just leave..."

  Xiuyue, who was collecting the bowl, stretched out her head and asked, "Will you give me money?"

  Hongdou pouted: "Don't worry about that, our girls are not short of money."

   "Just give me the money, and I'll go with you." After Xiuyue said this, she put away the bowls and wiped the table in one go.

  Red beans are very pleased.

   I didn't expect there to be such a knowledgeable person in this remote and dilapidated small town. This alone is better than many people in the capital.

   And Sheng Saburo looked at the expressionless Xiuyue, then at the relieved Hongdou, and finally at the calm Luo Sheng, falling into deep self-doubt.

   Is everyone normal and only he is the abnormal one?

  This is not right—

  No matter what he thought, something was wrong, Sheng Sanlang wanted to say something, but he saw that Xiuyue, who had collected the stall, was already standing beside Luo Sheng.

   Sheng Saburo was silent.

   "Cousin isn't full yet?" Luo Sheng asked.

   "I'm full from eating—" Sheng Sanlang glanced at Xiuyue, always a little unacceptable, "Even if you take him away, you have to let him clean up his belongings, right?"

  Hong Dou snorted and said, "What kind of wealth can a bean curd seller have? It's better to reward her with two more golden beans for the time wasted in cleaning up the property."

   Sheng Saburo only had a stiff smile left.

  There was a rumor in the mansion that a laundry lady got a bag of gold leaves as a reward from her cousin. He didn't believe it at first, but now he believes it.

  Until Xiuyue followed her back to the inn, Sheng Sanlang still seemed to be dreaming, and while Luo Sheng was not paying attention, he grabbed Hong Dou and asked, "Just because you like to eat tofu nao made by the ugly mother-in-law, you brought him back to the capital?"

   "Otherwise?" Hongdou asked.

  The little girl's righteousness made Sheng Sanlang suffocate, and blurted out: "Could it be that he also takes away a handsome man?"

  Hong Dou thought for a while, then shook his head.

  Sheng Saburo was inexplicably relieved, and then he heard Hong Dou say: "There are many handsome men, we girls are only willing to take away the ones we like very much."

  Sheng Saburo: "..." He actually thought about marrying Cousin Luo just for a bite of delicious food. I'm really disturbed.

   "Young Biao, hurry up and tidy up, our girl said that we are leaving today."

  Sheng Saburo nodded in a daze.

  In the guest room, Xiuyue stared straight at Luo Sheng and asked, "Who the **** are you?"

  She didn't sleep last night, and this doubt almost drove her crazy.

  She even thought that the woman in black was the Princess, and it was the princess's wronged soul who came to find her, but everything today broke her extravagant hope.

  The girl in front of her is younger than the princess, and she has no similarities in appearance, only a pair of bright and calm eyes.

  Luo Sheng and Xiuyue looked at each other, and asked calmly: "What about you, you don't even know who I am, why are you willing to come with me?"

  Xiuyue was stopped by the question.

  She couldn't answer the question.

  Zhennan Wangfu was besieged and killed for treason, and she was a survivor who could not see the light of day. If something happened to her, no one would remember to look for the whereabouts of the little prince.

  But the girl in front of her acted so much like the princess last night that she had to suspect that this person was related to the princess.

  Intuition told her that if she followed the other party, the thing she had been searching for for twelve years might turn around.

Looking at Xiuyue's ever-changing face, Luo Sheng smiled slightly: "Look, you can't even explain why you are willing to follow me, and why ask who I am. I can only tell you, follow me, maybe someone You'll find the answer someday."

  She thought about it, and it was not sensible to directly reveal her identity to Xiuyue.

  People are wary, and when you come up and tell the other party such absurd things, you can only get suspicion.

  Instead of trying so hard to get Xiuyue to accept that she is Princess Qingyang, it is better to let the other party actively seek the truth, and then reveal her identity and everything will come naturally.

  Xiuyue was silent for a moment, and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

  Luo Sheng cast his eyes out of the window.

  Outside the window, the banana leaves are as emerald green as emeralds, stretching freely.

   "Let's go to Beijing." Luo Sheng replied.

  Nanyang City had been left far behind by the chariots and horses. Sheng Saburo, who was riding a steed, looked up at the sky and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

  Although it’s only March, it’s a bit hot to rush on such a sunny day.

   Sheng Sanlang, whose throat was on fire, spotted a tea shed on the side of the road ahead, pulled the rein and approached the carriage: "Cousin, there is a tea shed ahead, how about we drink some herbal tea before we go on our way?"

   Luo Sheng quickly responded in the carriage: "Okay."

   A group of people stopped in front of the tea shed, including the guards, they directly occupied several benches.

  Dr. Cha wiped the table neatly, and poured tea for Luo Sheng and the others with a long-mouthed copper pot.

  The cup for drinking tea is a rough porcelain cup, and the tea is rough tea, but Sheng Sanlang didn't dislike it at all, he picked it up and drank it to the bottom, and his throat finally felt comfortable.

   "Why doesn't my cousin drink?" Sheng Sanlang couldn't help asking when Luo Sheng was holding the coarse porcelain teacup without moving.

  At this time, Luo Sheng couldn't care less about drinking tea, all his attention was on the person who was walking towards the tea shed.

  It was a very young man, with the calmness and indifference of a young man in his brows and eyes, without losing the vigor of a teenager. In particular, a pair of black jade-like pupils matched the slightly pale skin, even a casual glance would feel cold and oppressive.

  Sheng Saburo followed Luo Sheng's line of sight and couldn't help but be surprised.

   This man is very handsome, not inferior to Su Yao.

   It's over, it's over, Cousin Luo noticed it!

   "Ahem!" Sheng Sanlang coughed, hoping that the young man who was walking would understand his reminder and leave quickly.

   Sure enough, the young man heard Sheng Sanlang's cough, glanced in this direction, and strode over.

   "Brother, what's the matter?" Sheng Sanlang looked at the young man with a guilty conscience of doing bad things with good intentions.

   "There's no room left, little brother, don't you mind sharing a table?" The young man sat across from Luo Sheng without waiting for Sheng Saburo to reply.

   Behind the man, a young man dressed as a servant lowered his eyes to hide his surprise.

  Luo Sheng couldn't sit still.

   It was the man in black who appeared in the palace the night before, and she hit his head with a stone and sprinkled chili powder on his face!

  What is he doing sitting across from her?

   Could it be that he recognized her?

  Although the night was not dark and windy, she was still covered with a face scarf, and at most she was only seen by the other party's eyes.

  Luo Sheng thought of the dagger in his arms, the long whip on his waist, and the chili noodles in his sleeve, and finally he had no choice but to put out the idea of ​​killing this man immediately.

   There is no way, in broad daylight and in a large crowd, how can it be easy to kill people.

   "Miss Luo, are you all right?" the man asked suddenly.
