The willow leaves are slowly

"I can check the ancestors of all the officials in the six ministries of the imperial court for you clearly, and even know whether the guard dog in an official's home is male or female."

Tou'er Li knew Shadow Pavilion like the back of his hand. "To be frank, which official has such a clean bottom?" He lowered his voice even more.

"Not to mention the officials, I heard that even the princes had to show courtesy to the Young Master of the Shadow Pavilion. Although the Young Master of the Shadow Pavilion has no rank or status, his status is second only to one person and above ten thousand people!"

"Young Master Yingge is so powerful!" said the young yamen runner in surprise.

"Then what kind of person is this Ye Hansheng?" Liu Qingyin also squatted on the ground, took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and handed them to Li Tou'er.

Li Tou'er was completely immersed in the story. He took the melon seeds, cracked a few and then said, "Ye Hansheng, the head of the Shadow Pavilion, is a man who eats people without leaving any bones." He lowered his voice and said, "It is rumored that Master Ye is cold-blooded and ruthless. He kills people without blinking an eye. When interrogating prisoners, he even pulls out the tendons and skins them, and burns them alive. He does everything he can. If you enter his Shadow Prison, he will make you regret reincarnating as a human!"

The young yamen runner and Liu Qingyin listened with great interest, looking as if they had realized what was going on.

"But some people also say that Master Ye has a handsome face, is gentle and refined, has both literary and military skills, is well-versed in military tactics, has great martial arts skills, and is also knowledgeable in medicine."

Li Tou'er showed an expression of admiration, "Master Ye is very mysterious, with many faces. No one knows what kind of person he is."

"Is Ye Hansheng married?" Liu Qingyin asked in a gossipy voice.

"He is not married yet. I heard that Master Ye is not interested in women, but he is deeply loved by the Fifth Princess. The Fifth Princess has asked Your Majesty many times to grant her a marriage. Your Majesty asked Master Ye for his opinion, but he refused. Your Majesty did not want to offend him, so he has not issued an order to grant her a marriage."

Li Tou'er continued while cracking melon seeds: "The Fifth Princess is His Majesty's favorite princess. If Master Ye agreed, he would have been a prince consort long ago and would have had a lot of children."

"Mr. Ye is not interested in women, so could he be a homosexual?" Liuyun leaned forward and asked in a low voice with a curious look on his face. He was sitting in a wheelchair and took the melon seeds handed to him by Liu Qingyin, eating them while listening to what Li Tou'er said.

"It's hard to say," Li Touer shook his head and spat out a few melon seed shells. "He has rejected the Fifth Princess many times, and I've never seen him get close to any woman. I heard that there is no woman in Shadow Pavilion. We don't know if Master Ye did it on purpose." He put his hand to his mouth and spoke in a low voice.

"How do you know so much?" Lord He came over and squatted on the ground, asking quietly.

Li Tou'er was munching on melon seeds while looking at the young yamen runner. He was telling him the story very attentively, immersed and devoted. "A childhood friend of mine was working in the palace. When he came back to visit his family, we drank together and he told me this."

"Then do you know, childhood friend, that revealing the secrets within the palace is a capital crime?" Ye Hansheng bent down, took Xue'er and asked softly.

"Oh! We were just drinking and chatting, talking nonsense, it's not that serious!" The young yamen runner stared blankly at the people around him, pulled Li Tou'er's sleeve, and said in a trembling voice: "Boss, boss..."

"Hey, you're pulling...what should I do..." Following the young yamen runner's gaze, Li Touer finally saw a group of people surrounding him.

"Sir, please forgive me, I just..." Before he could finish, Lord He jumped up and hit him on the head, "Let you talk nonsense all day long, nonsense!"

"Sir, please spare my life, sir, please spare my life..." Li Touer shouted.

"Sir, please spare Tou'er Li. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have asked such nonsense." The young yamen runner pulled He Wenjing's sleeve.

"Nonsense, nonsense!" He Wenjing beat and kicked the two yamen runners and kicked them away.

"Please forgive them, sir. They said it without meaning it. I hope you can forgive them." He Wenjing bowed.

Ye Hansheng said: "I hope Lord He can control his subordinates well."

"Your subordinate will follow your instructions!"

Liu Qingyin looked at Ye Hansheng and Liuyun and spread her hands, shrugged her shoulders and said, "No more gossip, the happy story will end."

"Hahahaha," Liuyun laughed.

Ye Hansheng called for a carriage, and the group left in the carriage.

Wang Dacheng sat uncomfortably in the carriage. After hearing what the yamen runner said, Wang Dacheng felt that Ye Hansheng, who was sitting next to him, was a living devil. He didn't even dare to breathe. The atmosphere in the carriage was depressing and sweat kept coming out of his head.

"Why is he sitting here?" Ye Hansheng asked coldly while holding Xue'er.

"Master Liuyun is unable to walk, so apart from the wheelchair, the car can only accommodate two people, including Sister Ayan."

Ye Hansheng looked at Liu Qingyin and said softly: "We can tie him up with a rope and drag him on the carriage!"

"Mr. Ye, Wang... Wang can actually... can go out." After saying that, he got out of the sedan and sat next to the shadow guard who was driving the car. The shadow guard glanced at him with disdain.

The drizzle started again, and the raindrops became denser and denser, making a soft sound when they fell on the roof of the carriage. The rain was lingering, fine and soft, and the carriage moved farther and farther away.

In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the Wang family mansion, where the lights were brightly lit.

"Shengsheng, wait for me." Liu Qingyin was about to get off the carriage when Ye Hansheng pulled her back. Liu Qingyin turned around and he handed her an umbrella, saying softly, "It's raining."

"A-choo!" Wang Dacheng sneezed loudly as soon as he got off the carriage, and raindrops splashed all over him.

"Someone come!" he shouted. The old butler who was waiting at the door saw him and called a group of maids and servants to come and pick up Wang Dacheng. They put clothes on him, held an umbrella, and got a hot water bottle. Wang Dacheng was instantly wrapped up like a dumpling.

Ye Hansheng lifted the carriage curtain and looked out. Liu Qingyin was standing in the soft rain with an umbrella. The breeze ruffled her long hair and her skirt fluttered, as natural and agile as flowing water.

"Wang Dacheng, come here, I have something to tell you!"

Wang Dacheng looked back. Liu Qingyin's white oil-paper umbrella was painted with vermilion plum blossoms. She stood quietly in the rain, like the indescribable cinnabar in an ink painting. Her eyes were like stars on her cute face, becoming hazy and mysterious in the drizzle...

"Hurry, get a cloak and a hot water bottle for Miss Liu!" Wang Dacheng turned around and instructed the housekeeper as he walked towards Liu Qingyin.

"No need, I'll just say a few words and leave." Liu Qingyin looked at him and said.

"What does Ayin want to tell you?" Wang Dacheng asked.

"My Lord, if you sign this marriage cancellation letter, we will cancel our engagement." Liu Qingyin handed over the marriage cancellation letter. "I don't like you, and you don't like me either. I'm not the girl of destiny."

"Ayin..." Ye Han was about to say something but stopped.

"Young Master Wang, because you were similar to an old friend of mine, I lumped you together with him and felt disgusted and resentful towards you. After this incident, I realized that you and he are not the same person. I would like to apologize to you here. Although you are timid and lustful, you know the big picture and understand righteousness. You are not a stupid and incompetent person." Liu Qingyin said solemnly and seriously.

"Ayin, does Wang really have no chance?" Wang Dacheng looked at Liu Qingyin, trying to find a glimmer of possibility in her eyes.

"Qingyin is looking forward to a house, two people, three meals a day, and four seasons. I don't know if Prince Wang married so many concubines just out of love, but Qingyin's heart is so small that it can only accommodate one lover, so small that she cannot share her lover with anyone. Prince Wang is not the person Qingyin yearns for in her heart." Liu Qingyin said quietly.

Wang Dacheng asked the butler to bring pen and ink. He looked at Liu Qingyin's determined eyes, thought for a moment, and finally signed the divorce agreement.

"Thank you, Master Wang. This is the money I owe you," Liu Qingyin handed over the banknote. "It's a normal loan with interest added."

"No, that's not necessary, Ayin." Wang Dacheng refused again and again.

"Take it." Liu Qingyin stuffed the banknote into his hand. "Young Master Wang, we are even now. I still want to thank you for helping me on the day I broke the jade bracelet. Qingyin wishes you peace and happiness for the rest of your life. Let's say goodbye now!" Liu Qingyin was sincere and bowed to say goodbye.

The drizzle was hazy, and the beauty was walking away. The current Liu Qingyin was completely different from the cowardly and timid girl a few months ago. Wang Dacheng thought about Liu Qingyin's words, feeling deeply moved and regretful.

"Ayin, if one day you want to come back, the door of my Wang family will always be open to you!" Wang Dacheng shouted loudly towards Liu Qingyin's back.

"Go back!" Liu Qingyin waved her hand without looking back.

A long time later, I heard that Wang Dacheng dismissed all the concubines in his family, leaving only a maid who had a son. His position as the principal wife remained vacant, waiting for the woman in a blue gauze skirt, holding a red plum oil-paper umbrella in the rain...

"Is the job done?" Ye Hansheng asked while holding the sleeping Xue'er.

"Well, it's done. I've lost the chance to marry into a wealthy family." Liu Qingyin covered her face and pretended to be in pain.

The carriage started slowly. "It's still not too late to go back. Didn't Wang Dacheng say that the door of the Wang family will always be open to Ayin?" Ye Hansheng lowered his head and combed Xue'er's hair.

"Forget it. I beat the gatekeeper's face this morning and it's now as swollen as a pig's head. I'm afraid the gatekeeper will take revenge on me." Liu Qingyin said while combing Xue'er's hair.

Ye Hansheng raised his lips in an imperceptible arc, "I was originally thinking whether I should nail the Wang family's gate shut with iron plates."

Liu Qingyin laughed, "Shengsheng is a three-year-old child? Ye is three years old, come, let your sister see!" She raised her hand and pinched Ye Hansheng's face, and the two looked at each other...

Ye Hansheng's hair gently brushed across his shoulders, and his eyes were like crystal clear amber, making people intoxicated. "Shengsheng, there are stars and seas in your eyes."

Ye Hansheng said: "The stars and the sea are all you..."
