「The next day」
The meeting between the two families went exceptionally well.
It's worth mentioning that Xu Yanlin had returned to the inn and rested for less than two hours before he came back to the Prefectural Magistrate's Office.
When Mr. Sheng saw his nephew, he was quite speechless.
He asked him, "Are you here to back up Kaiyan, or to give your cousin some courage?"
Xu Yanlin didn't say anything, just chuckled and poured him some tea. Watching him, Sheng Mingchuan couldn't help but shake his head. "It's not even certain he's a direct cousin, and you're already this protective of him?"
Then he left De'an with Xu Yanlin and went to the government office to handle official business himself.
The second thing worth mentioning was that when De'an saw Sheng Saya, he became surprisingly bashful.
His face was so red, anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was running a high fever.
