Something unpleasant happened. In the second game of hide-and-seek, Zhu Xiuyuan stopped playing. He returned to the bow of the ship and drank tea with Li Jiye and enjoyed the scenery.

However, he had just "bullied" his biological sister, and now he was having tea with her and enjoying the scenery, and had to pretend to be nonchalant... Zhu Xiuyuan almost imagined slapping himself.

Unknowingly, as time passed, their cruise ship had passed the pontoon, and after driving forward for a while, they arrived in front of Sanshan Gate.

According to the plan, they were to turn around here and drive back.

After crossing the lower pontoon again, after a while, the cruise ship arrived at the shore of Liucai Street.

Liucai Street is also a bustling street. Although it is not as popular as Chaoku Street, it is also very popular.

Just at this time, Dong Shuzhen and the others were a little tired from playing and took a rest at the bow of the boat. They saw that Liucai Street was very popular and there were a wide variety of small commodities on various stalls, including a mask stall that Dong Shuzhen liked.

Therefore, Dong Shuzhen, Li Qingnu, and the four maids all wanted to go ashore and go shopping. After playing hide and seek for a long time, the fun gradually faded away and they needed a change of taste.

They now have a strong interest in shopping.

So Zhu Xiuyuan respected their wishes, stopped at Liucai Street, and let them go ashore for shopping.

There were Dong Shuzhen, Li Qingnu, the four maids, and Dong Shuyu who was half dragged, half dragged, etc. They all went ashore to go shopping. Naturally, there were plainclothes security guards on the side, so there was no problem at all.

Neither Zhu Xiuyuan nor Li Jiye went. Li Jiye was not interested, and Zhu Xiuyuan still felt guilty about what he had just done and did not dare to go with Li Qingnu.

Among the girls, only Kou Wanwan did not go.

Li Qingnu once invited her, but she declined, saying she was tired and found a room in the cabin to rest.

But Kou Wanwan was not tired at all. After Dong Shuzhen and the others disembarked, she came to the side of the deck, leaned against the side of the ship, and pretended to look at the scenery.

Zhu Xiuyuan was chatting with Li Jiye and accidentally caught a glimpse of Kou Wanwan. He was about to question her, so Zhu Xiuyuan found a reason to leave Li Jiye for a while and went to Kou Wanwan's vicinity.

"Sir, you are here."

Zhu Xiuyuan had a dark face. He actually wanted to question her, but he couldn't speak when the matter came to pass.

"Master, are you blaming the slave family?" Kou Wanwan was quite considerate.

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't speak, he just leaned against the side of the boat and looked at the scenery on the shore.

"Young Master... Actually, there is no need to worry. On the contrary, Young Master should be happy."

"Happy?" Zhu Xiuyuan squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Do you think I'm happy now?"

"Master, please listen to me first... Master, think about it, how did Princess Anle react after that incident happened?"

Zhu Xiuyuan frowned, he was also wondering about this.

"Then Princess Anle, she neither slapped you nor used her identity as Princess Anle of the Liang Kingdom to launch an attack. She didn't even say a word of blame. Moreover, she tried her best to hide it, for fear that the slave family and his wife would see it.

A little abnormal..."

"What does this mean? As a woman, the Nu family understands women best. In Princess Anle's heart, she has actually been pretending to be the young master for a long time. It's just that she has a special status and the young master already has a wife, so she doesn't want to show it."

Zhu Xiuyuan frowned and thought about Kou Wanwan's words quietly.

In fact, he had also thought about this aspect.

But... is this too narcissistic?

She is a golden princess, the apple of Emperor Liang's eye, and her status is extremely noble. How could she... fall in love with him?

He didn't even dare to think deeply about it.

However, now, after Kou Wanwan's analysis, Zhu Xiuyuan felt that the reality was probably like this.

"But even so, the girl's behavior is too... After all, the other party has a special status. If it really makes a big fuss, this will be a major event between Liang and Chen. If it is not serious, it will cause turmoil... The girl's move,

It’s really inappropriate!”

Zhu Xiuyuan put on a straight face.

"Young master has taught me a lesson. The slave family was reckless and almost caused a disaster. Please punish me, master!" Kou Wanwan did not quibble, she simply admitted her mistake and was punished.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan discovered that there was no sign of admitting her mistake deep in her eyes, and there was always a smile on her lips.

"That's all, this matter didn't cause any serious disaster, there's no point in talking about it now. It's just..."

"Young master, are you worried about the unclear relationship between men and women?"

Zhu Xiuyuan stared at her. Kou Wanwan was quite considerate, but she was also a troublemaker.

Just like Dong Shuzhen, it’s a headache.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about this. No matter what, it was an unintentional mistake. As long as you find an opportunity to sincerely apologize, Princess Anle will definitely let go of her grudge."

Zhu Xiuyuan quite agrees with this.

He plans to do the same.

Although this matter is embarrassing and difficult to talk about, there is still an apology that should be made. This is to show an attitude.

But Kou Wanwan's next words almost made Zhu Xiuyuan fall over.

Just listen to Kou Wanwan say: "Moreover, this move can also make Princess Anle only pretend to be the young master..."

Zhu Xiuyuan really couldn't figure out Kou Wanwan's thoughts. Logically speaking, she was already his, shouldn't he exclude more women from joining him?

Why this move?

Unable to figure it out, Zhu Xiuyuan was waiting to ask, but at this moment, Dong Shuzhen and the others had finished shopping and returned to the cruise ship.

So Zhu Xiuyuan and Kou Wanwan separated, Kou Wanwan went back to rest, and Zhu Xiuyuan returned to the bow of the ship...

The girls got on the boat and all of them made a lot of gains. Yan Dashan and other generals who followed him were completely transformed into "cargo racks", and no one could carry anything in their hands.

After having fun for a while, the cruise ship continued sailing.

Dong Shuzhen and the others seemed to have lost interest in playing hide-and-seek. They gathered at the bow of the ship, eating, drinking, and playing the card game "Fighting Corrupt Officials" with bursts of laughter.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Li Jiye talked about world affairs while enjoying the scenery...

You can enjoy yourself, time flies by in joy.

At the beginning of the day, that is, around 11 o'clock in the evening, Zhu Xiuyuan's cruise ship passed through Wuding Bridge and came to the core section of the Qinhuai River again.

But they saw that the river was full of cruise ships and there were thousands of lanterns. The river was only slightly less crowded than when they left.

On both sides of the strait, the hustle and bustle is still there, with hundreds of operas, songs and dances, the sound of silk and bamboo, loud hawking, etc. mixed together to create a strong festive atmosphere.

It's almost midnight, but it's still so lively here.

However, compared with when they left before, the flow of people on both sides of the bank has decreased, at least not to the point where people are so crowded that their feet are off the ground.

Although the number of people has decreased, the excitement and noise here are actually even greater than before!

Shangyuan night tour naturally becomes more interesting as it gets late into the night.

Zhu Xiuyuan and the others found a place to dock the cruise ship, near the entrance of Pipa Alley.

Then everyone got off the boat and started shopping in Yuan Dynasty.

Kou Wanwan had met Zhu Xiuyuan tonight and had won another excellent piece of music. She was satisfied, so she waved goodbye.

Zhu Xiuyuan and the others began to go shopping. They would go shopping at the street food stalls, jewelry stalls, makeup stalls, mask stalls, etc. While shopping, they would raise their heads to admire the lanterns that could be seen everywhere.

Everyone just feels that the prosperity is already very high at this time. If it can be like this every day, it will be worthy of this life.

While everyone was shopping, Zhu Xiuyuan had been looking for an opportunity to apologize to Li Qingnu in person.

But she always stayed with Dong Shuzhen and the others, holding hands and never separated for a moment.

Zhu Xiuyuan just didn't find the opportunity, so he just worried on the side.

Li Qingnu seemed to be avoiding Zhu Xiuyuan on purpose. In fact, she had several opportunities, but she avoided them all...

Until the beginning of Yin time, around three o'clock in the morning.

Everyone's interest in traveling gradually stopped, and they unanimously agreed to end the night tour in Shangyuan, and took a carriage on the bank of the Qinhuai River to return to the post house and Jiangcheng Bofu.

Seeing Li Qingnu boarding the carriage, Zhu Xiuyuan shook his head secretly and sighed.

After such a long time, he never found a chance to apologize to Li Qingnu.

Zhu Xiuyuan could only think that Li Qingnu was shy and didn't want to talk about that matter anymore, so she deliberately avoided him...

"Why are you sighing, husband? Get in the car quickly..."

Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage opened a hole, and a head poked out, calling Zhu Xiuyuan with a smile.

"Okay, come on!"

Zhu Xiuyuan boarded the carriage and sat down under Dong Shuzhen's attentive greeting. Dong Shuzhen then sat next to him.

It's late at night, Li Jiye and Li Qingnu will take a carriage directly to the post house, while Zhu Xiuyuan and the others will go directly back to Jiangcheng Bo's Mansion, so Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen are in the same carriage...

After a jolt, the carriage quickly stopped, and they had arrived at the gate of Jiangcheng Bo's Mansion.

The two brothers, Li Jiye and Li Qingnu, separated from them halfway and headed towards the post house.

Everyone got off the car and entered the house, each returned to their own small courtyard, cleaned up briefly, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

It was a quiet night, but there seemed to be a faint sound of noise in the distance. It seemed that someone was going to play all night.

But because his mansion is so big, the noise seems very small...
