Seeing that Nan Muze remained silent, Liu Shengsheng held his hand again and said, "I know what you are worried about. Now all the people in the General's Mansion are in jail. If my identity is known, I will be imprisoned both emotionally and rationally." Locked up so I won’t let anyone know my identity easily.”
"It's just that the General's Mansion is my home after all, and those who are being accused of treason are all my family members. Once convicted, not only will my father and others die, but I will also be among the nine tribes. I will not be able to recover my identity for the rest of my life. , hiding here and there, this is not what I want."
"Besides, I still want to be with you. If I become a criminal, the emperor will definitely not agree with your relationship with me. In the future, if you find your mother, what if she doesn't agree? So this kind of thing will definitely happen. Take care of it, and whether I can help or not, I hope I can see with my own eyes that everyone is safe and sound."
"Although I faked my death to escape and wanted to remain anonymous for the rest of my life, that was my own choice. At that time, I really just wanted to avoid you, but at that time, I could return to my original identity at any time.
But the current situation is that once the charges against the General's Mansion are proven, I will be forced to remain anonymous. I don't like this, so nothing will happen to the General's Mansion. "
After listening to Liu Shengsheng's words, Nan Muze held her hand tightly.
"I know that no matter how bad General Liu is, he is still your father. No matter how ruthless the General's office is, he is still your support. Your family is my family, and I will try my best to protect them."
"So let's go back to Beijing together."
Liu Shengsheng said slowly: "We will continue to look for Xue Linglong after the matters in the General's Mansion are settled. It would be better if the emperor's illness can be cured. Only when the emperor is well can you have the energy to travel with me in the world."
"kindness."
Seeing Nan Muze nod, Liu Shengsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When their stomachs no longer hurt so much, they set off on their way back to Beijing again.
It's just that Nan Muze paid great attention to her rest during the journey, and she would have to find an inn to rest almost every night.
After just a few days of driving, when they arrived in Jiangcheng, Liu Shengsheng's aunt had already left.
She began to alienate Nan Muze again, intentionally or unintentionally, for fear that he would be interested in her.
Naturally, Nan Muze noticed everything.
But he didn't understand why Liu Shengsheng was always hot and cold.
Even so, he didn't ask any more questions.
Whenever Liu Shengsheng asked for room sharing, he just nodded obediently and went to the next room aggrievedly.
This time they chose Liufang Pavilion as their destination.
After the room separation, Liu Shengsheng always felt a little guilty. She was afraid that Nan Muze would have random thoughts, but she couldn't tell him the truth, so she could only lie on the bed and toss and turn.
With Yizhou missing from his side, his ears became much quieter. Since he returned to Dongcheng, Jing Chun had no idea where he had gone, and there was no sign of Jing Chun on the way to Jiangcheng.
Now only he and Nan Muze were left. They had time to be alone. They should have been inseparable, but now they had to keep a distance because of the poison.
She was also afraid that if things continued like this, there would be gaps.
The evening sky was gray.
Liu Shengsheng couldn't sleep, so she quietly walked out of the guest room and went to the lounge on the second floor to rest.
She found a seat by the window, ordered a pot of hot tea and a few desserts, and looked at the sparsely populated streets, feeling particularly heavy.
Because there were too many people in Jiangcheng who knew them, not only Nan Muze had his face covered, but Liu Shengsheng also covered the upper half of her face with a mask.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure on the street.
That was outside the gate of Liufang Pavilion. A thin woman was holding a large bag of garbage and throwing it into a large bucket across the street, and then slowly walked back with the bag.
That woman looks familiar. Isn't she Xiao Qing from Liuli Village?
Liu Shengsheng narrowed her eyes. Ever since Granny Ye and Old Man Li left, Xiao Qing has become an orphan without a father or mother. She thought she would stay in that small mountain village forever, but she didn't expect that she would come to Jiangcheng...
It seems that everyone is living very hard.
"Didn't I tell you? This garbage bag is going to be thrown away together. Why did you bring it back? Does it stink?"
A store waiter suddenly walked up to Xiao Qing, snatched the bag from her hand, and threw it heavily to the ground.
The waiter in that shop also looked familiar. He was an employee of Liufang Pavilion.
Xiao Qing was very embarrassed and said: "I think this bag is quite good and can be used again..."
"Use your name! These are all leftovers. They are not only dirty, but also smelly. Do you know what kind of guests come to our Liufang Pavilion for dinner? If they smell the smell, they will not come again. What should we do? Our business here is very good. Are you worried that you can't afford garbage bags? Don't always bring the same things from the countryside to our city. If you can do it, do it. If you can't do it, get out. , there are so many people who want to wash dishes here!"
Xiaoqing apologized humbly, "I'm sorry, I won't do it next time."
"This is the last time! If it weren't for your clean dishes, we would have replaced you long ago."
"Yes Yes……"
Xiaoqing lowered his head and nodded repeatedly at the waiter.
Seeing this, the waiter looked away and said, "Go back to the kitchen and wash the remaining dishes before you can rest."
"I'll go now."
After saying this, Xiao Qing hurriedly ran into the gate of Liufang Pavilion.
Liu Shengsheng, who was sitting by the window, just watched all this quietly.
I didn’t expect that Xiaoqing would come to work in Liufang Pavilion and help wash the dishes...
After all, they were acquaintances. Liu Shengsheng put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and walked downstairs.
The kitchen door was right next to the stairs. As soon as Liu Shengsheng reached the stairs, she saw Xiao Qing walking into the kitchen in a hurry.
She walked to the door and saw another familiar figure. qs
I saw Nan Banning squatting in the kitchen washing dishes.
Xiao Qing squatted next to him as soon as he entered, "Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you to go back and rest early?"
Nan Banning still looked naive. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm.
"There are too many guests today. Grandma asked me to help you."
"You're stupid! You have to get up early tomorrow morning and you're still here washing dishes. What will you do if you can't get up tomorrow? It's not easy to have a good job. You must save your energy and work hard. In this way Only then can you make big money.”
But Nan Banning said seriously: "I don't need to make a lot of money, I just need a place for me and my grandma to live, and then I and my grandma will have enough to eat every day."
After a pause, he added, "Sister Xiao Qing is a good person. Because Sister Xiao Qing helps me all day long, I also want to help Sister Xiao Qing."
Xiao Qing smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe Nan Wan Ning's sweat.
"What's wrong with me? I haven't done anything to help you."
"No, you help me take care of grandma all day long. Grandma said you are a good boy."
"Fool, that's because your grandma and I live together. We share a room, so we have to take care of each other. That's all natural."
But Nan Bangning shook his head, "No, grandma said, you are strangers, you have no obligation to take care of her, it is because you are kind that you take care of her, it is not a matter of course.
Besides, you help me get food all day long, so I have to wash the dishes for you often. "
Listening to Nan Banning's words, Xiao Qing smiled happily and said: "How can I help you get food all day long? It's because you can't tell the table clearly and almost send the wrong food, so I..."
"But you gave it to me instead of hitting me."
Nan Bangning said with some grievance: "The other waiters saw that I sent the wrong ones, so they beat me every time. They grabbed my ears and pinched my hands. It hurt every time."
After he finished speaking, he actually pulled up his sleeves to show Xiao Qing.
