"Miss, please come in."

Liu Qingquan enthusiastically and hurriedly invited Wan Ning and others to come into the room, and Tang Xiaoyou immediately stepped forward and opened the door with a tactful look. There was no usual noise, and it seemed like he was giving him face.

After everyone entered the room, Liu Qingquan carried his grandmother in and carefully put her down on a chair. Wan Ning looked her up and down and asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?"

"It's nothing serious. The children are just too nervous." Grandma glanced at Tang Xiaoyou who was standing next to her. Seeing that she didn't move, she said, "The doctor prescribed some medicine. I'll go back and boil the medicine. You guys can chat."

"Can you?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Grandma said kindly, then turned to Tang Xiaoyou and said with a stern face: "Xiaoyou, accompany me to boil the medicine."

"Grandma, I..."

"Come with me quickly!" Tang Xiaoyou seemed to want to say something to shirk her responsibility, but her grandmother saw what she meant and immediately ordered her in a serious and cold tone, not allowing her to refuse.

She was very curious about why Wan Ning came to see Liu Qingquan today, so she left reluctantly. As soon as she walked out of the door, she whispered to her grandmother: "The doctor said that this medicine should be taken at night. Grandma, why were you so fierce just now?"

"Girl, how can you be so tactless? If you continue like this, you will become a nuisance. We finally have a tenant, you don't want him to move out, do you?" Grandma held the crutch in one hand and held Tang Xiaoyou's arm with the other, and walked forward step by step with difficulty.

"I don't want to, but why is Liu Qingquan moving out just because of this? He's not so stingy. If you really want to, just leave quickly," Tang Xiaoyou retorted stubbornly.

If she had said this before, grandma would have severely reprimanded her. But for some reason today, grandma didn't get angry. She just looked at her kindly and smiled, then sighed heavily. She said meaningfully, "Little girl, that's just my little Liu's kindness. I don't care about you. Don't bully me all the time. Show some respect."

Tang Xiaoyou seemed to be right but wanted to find an excuse to deny it. She hugged her grandmother's arm and supported her like a spoiled child, and retorted: "How am I not respectful? I respect people the most. Besides, I'm the landlord, not a servant. If he leaves, the worst that can happen is that I can just rent the house to someone else."

"You, it's not that easy to hire. If you miss this opportunity, you'll regret it."

"Grandma, are you talking about renting a house?" Hearing the hidden meaning in grandma's words, Tang Xiaoyou pointed it out directly.

Grandma kept it a secret: "Of course, I'm old now, and this house will be yours in the future. Naturally, I have to find a reliable person for you..."

Tang Xiaoyou's grandmother paused for a second, looked at Tang Xiaoyou, and immediately changed her words: "Tenant, a reliable tenant. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease even if I leave."

The two of them had been dependent on each other for a long time, so they naturally understood each other's thoughts and the meaning of each other's words. However, separation and death were too cruel, so Tang Xiaoyou didn't want to talk about it. She hid the sadness in her heart, pretended to be confused and asked cheerfully, "Go? Grandma, where are you going? You have to take me with you wherever you go, otherwise I won't agree. Besides, it's hard for you to go to the kitchen without me, let alone other places."

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking. I'm afraid you are not qualified for the place I'm going to. I have experienced decades of tests, and you are still too inexperienced. You should learn from me." Grandma also joked.

"Okay, I'll learn more in the future. You have to teach me well. I'm not allowed to go anywhere before you teach me. I don't want to be called a nobody."

So in the banter and jokes between them, the truth flowed back and forth between them. In this way, the two of them supported each other and moved forward.

Back in the room, Liu Qingquan took out a cup and wiped it clean as soon as he had his hands free, then picked up the teapot on the table to pour water for the three of them. But because of the cold weather, he couldn't pour out a drop of water from the teapot. He put his ear close to it and shook it back and forth, only to find that it was already frozen. Liu Qingquan smiled embarrassedly, picked up the teapot and was about to walk out, saying as he walked, "Ladies, wait a moment, I'll go and boil a pot of hot tea."

Before he even reached the door, Wan Ning called him back: "Hey, come back. We're not thirsty or cold, so forget about the tea. I came to see you today because I haven't seen you for a long time and I want to wish you a happy new year."

He waved his hands in fear and refused repeatedly. He was much more polite than before, and his attitude towards jokes became much more serious, like a little adult: "Happy New Year? No, no. I haven't gone to wish you a happy new year yet, how can I let you come to me first? This is absolutely not allowed."

Wan Ning frowned slightly and thought, "This guy is usually very free and easy and eloquent, but today he is so distant? Could it be that he saw outsiders are here?" So she followed his meaning and turned her head to look at Yan Ke.

Wan Ning continued to introduce: "Of course there is another thing. This is my niece. She just happened to need someone to do something. You are so close to her, so I came to ask if you are willing?"

Liu Qingquan reacted very quickly. He lowered his head to think for a moment, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were full of longing. He asked excitedly, "Could your niece be the princess of Prince Qi's Mansion - Princess Yan Ke?"

"You are well-informed and smart, boy. You even know the princess's name. Tell me, have you been interested in Prince Qi's Mansion for a long time?" Wan Ning asked half-jokingly, but in fact it was also to dispel Yan Ke's suspicion. They hated being stared at the most.

Liu Qingquan understood and quickly denied: "Of course not, it's just that everyone knows about Prince Qi's style and deeds, and there are countless people who admire him. Some people are willing to spend all their wealth just to see him. Although I have no wealth to use, my heart is toward the bright moon, and I admire the dazzling light of His Highness Prince Qi. If I can have the opportunity to meet him, I will have no regrets. Therefore, I also pay more attention to the affairs of Prince Qi's mansion."

Wan Ning blinked and thought, "Why didn't I know this kid was so good at flattering before? I just hope he doesn't scare people away with his flattering attitude. But I haven't heard that he has such feelings for Prince Qi before. Is he hiding something from me?"

Forget it. Before she figured out the truth, Wan Ning pretended to be ignorant. She continued with the purpose of her visit today and said, "Okay, save these words for when you meet King Qi in the future. I came to you today for something serious. Do you want to make some extra money?"

Liu Qingquan was feeling distressed after losing a sum of money. When he heard about the opportunity to make money, his eyes lit up immediately. He didn't ask what it was, but nodded repeatedly and said, "I am willing to do anything."
