Chapter 28 Part 1

Ye Shen raised his eyes in a complicated mood.

He gave an outsider a gift for the first time and it was disliked.

Ye Shen was not only the one in a complicated mood. Liu San, who was questioned by Yuan Guo, was also in a complicated mood. Jian Yin was so angry that he wanted to cover up the servant girl’s mouth.

Fifth Master’s things are always good! Haunted house my ass!

It was an awkward situation for a while, but people like Liu San, who were used to being social talkers, eased the atmosphere.

“What does the Young Miss think? The first-class feng shui in the house is good. It was the owner who wanted to sell it to a predestined person, so the price is low.”

As Liu San spoke, his eyes were shifting and he kept glancing at Ye Shen. His forehead was full of sweat.

It was not incorrect for him to say that.

Fifth Master Ye secretly gave this house to this Young Miss, so it must mean something. Wasn’t that destiny?

" "

At the other end, Yuan Guo coldly snorted. “Your lip service can deceive ghosts!”

Ye Shen saw Xiao Youning nodding in agreement and his eyes narrowed without realizing it.

However, Xiao Youning could not miss out on this opportunity. While she had already agreed with the words of her maid, she still needed to see the place.

“Please take us there first.” She smiled lightly at Liu San.

Liu San finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Shen had a sullen expression and did not speak. Xiao Youning naturally followed him and went straight into his carriage.

It was only when she sat down did she realized that she had followed him like a puppy into his territory.

She stood up as soon as she sat down.

The Daoist Priest likes the quiet. She seemed to be soon lost in her thoughts. He’s completely unaware of how he has helped me again. I’ve bothered him again and again.

“What is it?”

Ye Shen, who had been silent for a long time, saw that she was going to go, and his eyes swept past her.

Xiao Youning paused where she was in a half-squatting position. She was unable to stand up or sit down, and she had an embarrassed look on her face.

Ye Shen saw that she looked like she was having a hard time trying to say something. He suddenly lost his patience and frowned.

Right then, Xiao Youning sat down with poise. Her eyes curved into a smile at him, who was in a bad mood. Deep in her eyes radiated the clear light containing the purest and simplest happiness.

“I unwittingly followed the Daoist Priest into the carriage. I was afraid of disturbing the Daoist Priest, so I wanted to go. But when I think about it, the Daoist Priest did not make me leave. That’s why I will be thick-skinned and stay here with the Daoist Priest.” The little girl spoke confidently and shook her head. It was a delicate silliness that Ye Shen had never seen before. Even the beautiful cinnabar mole under the corner of her eye became cute.

He didn’t expect it to actually be a bit coquettish.

Ye Shen’s eyes fell on her face. He had once seen a princess in the palace acting so coquettish with the emperor.

“Mhm.” He raised his hand and stroked the top of her hair. Then, he withdrew his hand and sat upright.

Xiao Youning’s view was first blocked by his wide sleeves. When she was able to see again, she realized in hindsight that Ye Shen had touched her head.

She was in a daze for a moment.

Why did the Daoist Priest touch my head again… She rolled her eyes and peeked at him from the corner of her eyes. She saw that his gaze was fully focused forward as if nothing had happened just now.

The Daoist Priest was probably really trying to coax her like a little girl. He had called her a little girl before.

He had just reached the age of wearing a guan1, so he could be a few years older than her. However, he still treated her like a little girl.

Xiao Youning was silently frustrated in her heart, and in her peripheral vision she caught a glimpse of his thick and sharp eyebrows. His handsomeness is not ordinary and even Li Qingzhi, who everyone in the capital accepts as unparalleled, cannot compare.

" "

As soon as this thought rose from her mind, she quickly turned her head and looked away.

Sin. It’s a Sin. The Daoist Priest is a monk and I was blasphemous just now.

Perhaps because Xiao Youning had peeped at his face she became embarrassed afterwards and didn’t say another word.

The carriage soon came to the house that Liu San had spoken of.

Yuan Guo almost made Liu San cry in the carriage. In order to be rest assured, she almost asked about eight generation’s of the owner’s ancestors and her questioning made Liu San break into a cold sweat. He ran out as soon as they stopped, and unlocked the door of the house with trembling hands.

Yuan Guo held onto Xiao Youning as they fell behind walking slowly. She whispered into her ear, “Young Miss, this house is really suspicious. He hesitates when I ask him anything. Can it be that there is something ominous to this house?”

“Your maid is really talkative. So noisy!”

Jian Yin couldn’t listen any more, so he looked at them harshly.

If this maid didn’t shut up and wait for the house to be given as a gift, his Fifth Master might order him to clean her up.

She simply can’t take a hint. Can’t you see that my Fifth Master is going to be angry?

Ye Shen had good hearing ability, so of course he didn’t miss a word. However, he didn’t know what to think right now.
