"It seems that your son is very well hidden. If I hadn't seen Jing Yang coming to the mansion and haunting his room, I wouldn't have known that he was Chen Yanjun."

After listening to his father's explanation, Yan San hadn't reacted yet, the surprise came too suddenly.

"Give this jade pendant to him later and ask him to open it when he gets to Dawu! This jade can keep him safe."

......

When Yan San returned to the house, he saw him and Jiao Niang sitting in the yard. He walked straight over and handed the jade pendant around his waist to Yan Sheng.

"Well, this is the jade pendant your grandfather gave you. Take it out when you get to Dawu."

Yan Sheng looked at the jade pendant wrapped in cloth, weighed it, and then put it around his waist.

Yan San asked Jiao Niang to go back to her room and rest first. He wanted to have a private conversation with Yan Sheng. After Jiao Niang left, Yan San thought for a moment and asked:

"Be careful when you go to Dawu, and bring the person back safely."

Yan Sheng listened to his father, thought for a moment and replied, "I will bring my daughter home safely."

Yan Sheng didn't know what his father meant by this sentence, whether he knew his identity or was hinting at him.

Seeing his father return to the room, Yan Sheng touched the jade pendant his father gave him, feeling the texture on it, but he was reluctant to open it.

Jiao Niang did not rest, but came to her brother's house. Jiao Niang then noticed him, "I haven't looked closely at him for two months and he has grown so tall."

Zhang Sui'an is now almost as tall as Jiao Niang, and he will definitely surpass her in another month or two.

"Sister! What are you doing here?"

"I'm going to Dawu and I'm a little worried that you might cause trouble at home."

"Going to Dawu? Will you go to Balang County?" Zhang Sui'an asked immediately.

"Yes! We will enter Dawu from Balang County. Do you want to go too?" Jiao Niang stared at him as if she knew everything but didn't want to say it.

"Can you bring Yan An and Qing Wen with you? I heard that the scenery in the south is very beautiful. I want the three of us to go and see the scenery over there."

When Jiao Niang heard his clever answer, she said, "Okay! I'll talk to them tomorrow."

When Jiao Niang returned to the house, she saw Yan Sheng holding the jade pendant, "If you are curious, why don't you open it and take a look!"

"No! This should be a test given to me by my grandfather. I will open it after I step into Dawu." Yan Lang had already taken off his shirt and was ready to take a shower, change clothes, and sleep to rest.

When Jiao Niang saw Yan Sheng’s solid figure, she turned her head away embarrassedly!

"Can't you take it off again in the bathroom?"

"Are you shy?!" Yan Sheng walked towards her brazenly, "Give me the ointment on the bed."

Jiao Niang covered her eyes and handed him the ointment, vaguely seeing the scar on Yan Sheng's body.

"You have a scar?"

Hearing Jiao Niang's words, Yan Sheng raised his eyebrows and said, "If you can see, don't cover your eyes." He immediately pulled Jiao Niang's hand away!

"You'll get used to it. Haven't you seen the chest of Governor Liu's son before? There's nothing to be embarrassed about," Yan Sheng joked.

"Can...can it be the same?" The girl replied shyly.

"How is it different? He and I are both men! Could it be that you have other intentions towards me?" Yan Sheng put his body in front of her face and teased her.

"Bah, bah, bah! How can you and he be the same? You are standing and he is lying down!"

"Haha, he was actually lying down?" Yan Sheng laughed even louder after hearing Jiao Niang's explanation.

"Oh! It's so annoying. I mean he was injured at that time, what were you thinking about?", and then she punched him on the head, "What are you thinking about in your head? Although we are a contracted couple, you can't insult my innocence like this." After saying that, she started crying.

Yan Sheng realized that he had gone too far with this joke, so he stepped forward to comfort her, "We'll go back to Quanshui Village to see your parents tomorrow."

After comforting Jiao Niang, Yan Sheng went into the shower and asked Jiao Niang to help him apply medicine.

Jiao Niang saw the dense scars on Yan Sheng’s chest and asked, “When did this happen? How come I didn’t know about it!”

"About going to the capital, I was injured when I helped Jingyang escape, but I'm almost healed now." Yan Sheng handed the ointment to Jiao Niang.

Jiao Niang carefully applied the spoon to his chest and back, staring at the knife wounds of varying depths on his back. Jiao Niang thought that Yan Sheng had rushed out of the encirclement alone, and had not had a good rest for the whole day since he came back.

"Aren't you tired?" Jiao Niang asked softly.

"Why are you tired? It's my duty!" Yan Sheng reminded Jiao Niang that there was a key to a villa in the capital under her pillow, and said, "This is a villa I gave you as compensation. The Song Feng people all know the location of this house. We will get divorced when we return from Dawu this time!"

When Jiao Niang heard the last two words Yan Sheng said - divorce, her wrist suddenly paused for a second.

"Divorce? How are you going to explain this to your parents?" In fact, Jiao Niang wanted to play a joke, "Have you ever thought about staying with me forever?"

"It's my mission. I don't want you to get deeper and deeper into this vortex."

After hearing Yan Sheng's explanation, Jiao Niang threw the ointment away and yelled, "If you don't want me to get close to the vortex, why do you want to drag me in?"

"So I'll give you a house in the capital as compensation."

After hearing this, Jiao Niang felt like she was being used, so she slapped him on the wound and said, "Get lost! Go to Zuiyanlou to sleep tonight!"

The slap made Yan Sheng grit his teeth. He changed his clothes and went out. "Jiao Niang, come home with me tomorrow."

Yan Sheng came to Zuiyan Tower, where he was leaning against the window drunk. Song Fengren held up his wine glass and asked, "Are you worried? Or did the teacher send another message?"

"What do you think a man should do to show that he likes a woman?"

Yan Sheng asked in confusion, and then took another sip of wine.

"People! They always feel happier when they are closest to happiness. Have you fallen in love with Jiao Mei?" Song Fengren asked casually.

She was also looking forward to Yan Lang's answer. Yan Lang stood up and turned his back to her, "Yes! She is the smartest woman I have ever seen in the world, and most importantly, she is very beautiful. I didn't see her during the few days I went to the capital, and I felt very flustered."

"So you implemented the plan ahead of time, which resulted in your tracks being discovered in Kyoto. If it weren't for the teacher's strong connections in the capital, you would have already become a corpse."

"It's okay! Our death is inevitable. I told her that we will get divorced when I come back from Dawu."

"Yan Sheng, you are so stupid to think of such things. You want a divorce before you even go to Dawu? I know what you are worried about, but you can't tell her so suddenly! If she asks you to go out tonight, you should go out. Can't you stay in the room? My mother said that when a woman says no, she means yes. You are so stupid!"

Yan Sheng heard her words and jumped out of the window with the cakes on the table. "Thank you for your reminder, I understand!"

Yan Sheng returned home and saw Jiao Niang sitting alone in the yard looking at the prenuptial contract, so he snatched it away with one hand.

"Jiao Niang, I..." Yan Sheng said nervously.

"What?" Jiao Niang didn't even look at him.

"I brought you some pastries. We'll talk about the divorce later..."
