My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

In recent days, Qin Ruoshan has collected all the textile equipment on the market in Youzhou City and sent it to the other hospital designated by Qin Mu, asking Qin Mu to help develop it.

After Qin Mu carefully studied the existing equipment and design drawings, he said that he was 90% sure to produce the new equipment designed by Su Yunwan, and Qin Ruoshan began to select a site.

The Weaving Department is different from other official organizations. Most of the people coming and going are from the daughter's house, so they need to find a place that is safe and less crowded.

Today's meeting with Chu Yan was agreed upon by the two of them.

Qin Junyu married Chu Feifei a few days ago. Several sons of the Chu family got married, including Chu Yan.

Having accepted the position of teaching Yu, he needs status, talent, and good looks, and the matchmakers who come to visit him are almost over the threshold.

But out of some considerations, Chu Shao did not plan to marry his concubine Chu Yan now.

As for Chu Yan, even though he knew that his sister would marry into the fourth room of the Qin family and the possibility of him marrying Qin Ruoshan again was slim, he still couldn't let go of Qin Ruoshan.

It's just that Qin Ruoshan, as a lady of the family, never leaves Beiling Village on weekdays. Since her family has moved, he has little chance to get along with her.

This time, he secured a spot in the wedding and wanted to meet Qin Ruoshan.

That day, the moon was rising above the willow branches, and people were meeting after dusk.

Chu Yan confessed his feelings and said that as long as she was willing, he would definitely convince his father to invite a matchmaker to propose marriage.

Qin Ruoshan looked at the handsome young master in front of her and was moved by the deep friendship in his eyes. She blushed and nodded.

However, before Chu Yan could return home to seek permission from his father, something happened to the Qin family.

An assassin attacked on the night of the wedding, and Pei was killed again the next day.

Although Mrs. Pei's death had little to do with the other members of the Qin family, Ms. Pei was the former wife of the Qin family and had lived with the old lady and the fourth house for decades. The entire mansion was immersed in mourning and sentimentality. among.

At this time, it was not appropriate for Chu Yan to express his feelings to his father, so he had to calm down and wait a little longer.

Soon after, Qin Ruoshan often traveled to prefectures and counties to investigate the existing textile level. Chu Yan was so ecstatic at first that he often skipped work to accompany Qin Ruoshan on errands.

But gradually, he discovered that Qin Ruoshan was not just doing some preliminary preparations, but also wanted to set up a weaving department and hold important positions in charge of procurement, recruitment, training and many other matters, and she might even go on a business trip to other places.

The smile on Chu Yan's face gradually faded, replaced by solemnity and silence, with a bit of bitterness that he could not speak.

On this day, he asked Qin Ruoshan to go to Piao Mingxuan to talk, and they met at the door.

Ling Qi watched the two of them enter Piao Mingxuan, and by some strange coincidence, they also entered the teahouse.

Zhao Kerong, who was making drinks, saw Qin Ruoshan and Chu Yan and welcomed them upstairs with a smile, but did not see Ling Qi who entered the store behind.

Ling Qi didn't go to the private room next door to Qin Ruoshan and the others to eavesdrop on the conversation. She didn't even go up to the second floor. She just found a seat by the window in the lobby and drank tea alone.

In the remote private room on the second floor, the waiter brought tea and snacks. Zhao Kerong exchanged a few words and excused himself.

After going downstairs, he saw Ling Qi sitting by the window looking out. He was slightly startled and subconsciously glanced towards the second floor, thoughtfully.

In the private room on the second floor, Qin Ruoshan looked at Chu Yan who looked troubled, put down her teacup and asked, "If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."

"Shanshan, do you like your life now?"

Qin Ruoshan frowned, "What are you referring to?"

"Just like a man, tired from running around." As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yan felt ashamed.

He could see Qin Ruoshan's performance these days, and it was clear whether he liked it or not, and there was no need to ask any more questions.

Qin Ruoshan's hand on the table trembled, and the tea cup that was touched made a crisp sound. She pretended to be calm and asked, "Is it because your family can't accept my public appearance?"

Chu Yan was extremely ashamed and said with a bitter look on his face: "Shanshan, you know, in my family, men have always been in charge of the outside and women have been in charge of the house. There is a clear division of labor."

Qin Ruoshan nodded, took a deep breath, held back her tears and said, "I understand."

"Shanshan! Listen to me, with the salary I am currently teaching Yu, it is enough for you to have enough food and clothing. Can you, can you..." Chu Yan was heartbroken, but he had to say what was in his heart I struggled with the words for several days.

And Qin Ruoshan's answer was an unequivocal "No!"

Chu Yan covered his forehead with his hands, showing a hurt expression. It seemed that he was the only one who was hot all along.

After a few breaths, he put down his hand and said with red eyes, "Can we discuss it again?"

"It's impossible for me to resign from my position." Qin Ruoshan looked sad but her attitude was firm.

An unknown fire rose from Chu Yan's heart, and he was anxious and annoyed: "Why? It is a woman's duty to care for her husband and raise her children. Are you going to keep doing this?"

Qin Ruoshan laughed sadly: "Chu Yan, is it your family's problem, or is it your own problem?"

Chu Yan was speechless by the question, and after a long time he stammered: "I... of course I just want you to be happy. But Shanshan, your brother has already tied the knot with my sister, and the two of us , I am already intolerable by the world, and if I do something outrageous again, it will be even more difficult."

"So, are you going to retreat despite the difficulties?" Qin Ruoshan could no longer hold back her emotions and asked sharply.

Chu Yan was also anxious, and his voice increased unconsciously: "Of course not! But my grandmother and aunt only like girls from Yishi and IKEA, and my father has never let the female family members of the family get involved in outside affairs. Now the problem is before us, We have to solve it in order to have a future.”

"Your solution is for me to resign from my position and live in my backyard?"

Qin Ruoshan bit her lip, tears glistening in her eyes: "You know? I relied on my own efforts to achieve everything I have today. But you want me to give up everything and go back to the days when I looked at people's faces, do you think I Can you agree?"

Chu Yan's face showed a look of pleading: "Shanshan..."

"That's enough, Young Master Chu Qi, don't talk anymore, we two are not suitable, let's just say goodbye." Qin Ruoshan stood up and strode out of the private room without looking back.

"Shanshan, wait a minute, Shanshan, listen to my explanation..." Chu Yan just chased him downstairs when a strong arm stopped him in front of him.

"Master Chu Qi, please respect yourself." Ling Qi said coldly.

"You..." Chu Yan raised his head irritably. When he saw the other person's face, he was slightly startled, and then he raised his hands and saluted.

He knew that Ling Qi was Qin Junyi's subordinate, and he must not offend him without looking at the monk's face or the Buddha's face.

Ling Qi returned the salute expressionlessly, then looked at Qin Ruoshan who stopped and turned around, cupping her fists and saying, "I have seen the fourth girl."

"No need to be polite." Qin Ruoshan turned away, looking slightly embarrassed.

She had already known that Ling Qi was Qin Junyi's stand-in, and in order to take care of Qing Lan, who was pretending to be Su Yunwan, she stayed in the same room with Ling Qi and Qing Lan for several days.

Compared to other shadow guards, Qin Ruoshan is much more familiar with him, "Are you coming to Fucheng for business?"

Ling Qi nodded: "Yes, it's done. How about you?"

"I'm fine too. Let's go back to Beiling Village together?"

"it is good."

Chu Yan, who was watching the conversation between the two, felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart, and suddenly interrupted: "Shanshan, let me take you back home."

"No need, go back to the bridge and go back to the bridge, let's take care of each other's journey." Qin Ruoshan's face was cold. After speaking, she nodded towards Zhao Kerong who was standing not far away, and then walked out of the teahouse.

Ling Qi took half a step behind and followed her.

Chu Yan looked at the backs of the two people leaving, his expression extremely ugly.
