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

After many days of hard work and running around, Qin Junyi had not been able to get a good sleep for a long time. On this sunny afternoon, after having a laugh with Su Yunwan, he lay down and enjoyed a rare lunch break.

Time passed quietly, and when Qin Junyi opened his eyes again, he found that the sky outside the window had gradually darkened.

It turned out that his nap this time lasted until dusk!

"Are you awake?" Su Yunwan heard the movement and walked around the screen.

Qin Junyi got up and got out of bed, feeling particularly comfortable and said with a smile: "It's better to go back home. It's rare to sleep so peacefully."

Su Yunwan's heart softened and she said angrily: "In the future, if it is not necessary, don't rush around day and night again."

"Okay, it's all up to you." Qin Junyi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a doting smile. After getting dressed, he held Su Yunwan's hand tightly and stepped out of the room together.

There is a colorful sunset hanging on the horizon, which is poetic and picturesque and intoxicating.

"Grandma asked us to have dinner at her place."

"Then go there now."

The two of them walked hand in hand to the old lady's yard, where the people inside were waiting for them.

The old lady took Qin Junyi's hand to greet her. When she heard that she could stay until the Chinese New Year this time, she was so happy that she opened her mouth from ear to ear. Her eyes turned to Su Yunwan: "Wanwan, you get some medicinal food and take advantage of brother Yi's home. Replenish his body.”

"Okay." Su Yunwan looked back at the old lady who treated Qin Junyi as a child, smiled and nodded.

Then he turned his eyes and met Qin Junyi's gaze with a helpless smile.

Every time he came back from an outing, his grandmother would tell him that he had lost weight and asked Wanwan to take good care of his body.

In fact, his physical fitness is very good. Even if he is tired from the journey, he only needs to sleep and he will be fine. There is no need for food supplements at all.

After the servants served the dishes, the old lady adhered to the rules and habits of not talking during eating or sleeping, and did not chat about the family affairs.

By the time the sumptuous dinner was over, the sky had darkened.

When Qin Junyi and Su Yunwan were about to leave, they suddenly heard Qin Ruolan's soft voice coming from their side: "Brother, I have something to ask you."

"Go to the study with me and talk." Qin Junyi's expression softened a lot when her servants said that she had been very obedient and filial to her grandmother every day.

Su Yunwan: "I'll go back and take care of the baby."

After saying goodbye to the old lady, several people walked out of the yard.

When they reached a fork in the road, Qin Junyi warned him: "It's dark, so walk slowly on the road."

"I know!" Su Yunwan waved her hand and walked towards the main courtyard under the light of the servant's lamp.

Qin Junyi led Qin Ruolan to the study room in the front yard, and first praised her: "Lanlan, you did a great job in staying with your grandmother during my absence."

Qin Ruolan choked, her expression hard to describe.

"Sit down and talk." Qin Junyi waved his right hand and motioned for her to take a seat. He walked behind the large table in the middle and sat down firmly.

Qin Ruolan sat on a chair on the side, her eyes flickering, as if she didn't know where to start.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to break the awkwardness with an irrelevant topic and asked with concern: "Brother, are things going well outside?"

"Well, it's okay." Qin Junyi replied briefly, picking up the documents on the desk in his hand.

Qin Ruolan nodded: "That's good."

There was a brief silence.

Qin Junyi's eyes were calm, with a faint smile on his lips: "If you have something to do, it's okay to say it."

"I...in three years, I will become an old girl." Qin Ruolan mustered up the courage to speak softly, with a hint of grievance and melancholy in her voice.

Qin Junyi's heart moved slightly, but his expression remained calm, but his eyes were a little more thoughtful.

After a moment of silence, Qin Junyi slowly asked: "Which son do you like?"

Qin Ruolan raised her head, looked firmly into her brother's eyes, and softly uttered two words: "Shiyi."

This name flashed across Qin Junyi's mind like a bolt of lightning, making his face instantly cold: "You still want him to marry you?"

Qin Ruolan blushed and defended hurriedly: "No, I've figured it out. I'll just marry him."

After saying that, she stood up and walked to Qin Junyi, grabbed his Yunxiu and shook it gently: "Brother, I like him, can you promise me?"

Every time she made such a coquettish gesture in the past, her eldest brother would agree to her request.

As long as the eldest brother agreed, Shiyi would not dare to have any objections.

However, Qin Junyi had already understood Shiyi's intentions and did not want to force him. He did not even call him to ask him in person. He said bluntly: "Lanlan, you are not suitable."

"What's inappropriate?" Qin Ruolan's expression changed and she asked urgently.

Qin Junyi looked serious: "If you really like him, you will never say anything about letting him marry you. No matter what you like about him, give up those thoughts as soon as possible."

"Brother! That's because I was ignorant in the past, but now I have changed." Qin Ruolan's eyes were filled with tears, and she defended forcefully.

"Really? Then you should know that as the daughter of the Qin family, marriage has always been used for marriage."

Qin Ruolan's face suddenly turned pale. If she met a vicious mother-in-law from a wealthy family, wouldn't she suffer a disaster?

Seeing her pitiful look, Qin Junyi felt soft in his heart: "There are many people who want to marry you. I will choose a man from the right family and good character to be your husband."

"I don't want it! Wuwuwu..." Qin Ruolan sobbed uncontrollably.

Qin Junyi looked impatient, frowned and asked, "Why? What's wrong with being of the same family?"

"Three years later, those young masters will have no idea how many concubines they have, and they may even have more than one concubine!"

"Then you want to get married now?"

Qin Ruolan paused while wiping her tears with a silk handkerchief and did not deny it.

Qin Junyi: "If you want to end the observance of filial piety early, that's not impossible. A ceremony to take off filial piety will be held another day, and then you can remove the filial piety and completely return to normal life."

"Thank you, brother, but I still don't want to marry into a family of meritorious officials."

Qin Junyi looked gloomy: "Then you still have a choice, marry the prince of Goguryeo."

When Qin Ruolan heard this, her heart was shocked, and her face was full of astonishment: "Make... make peace?"

Qin Junyi corrected: "A marriage is a marriage and reconciliation between a dynasty and a foreign kingdom on the border. We can only call it a marriage now."

Before that, he was completely disappointed with Qin Ruolan, and decided that if she was unwilling to marry to Goguryeo, he would let her live in seclusion in a separate courtyard near Baiyunguan with the fourth-fang couple, so that she would not stay in the house and become a hidden danger.

But before he could discuss the matter with Qin Ruolan, there were signs of chaos in the world, and the army was hurriedly assembled to go to war.

At that time, most of the female relatives of the Qin family were in Fucheng, but Qin Ruolan was unwilling to go to Fucheng with the old lady and Su Yunwan on the grounds of keeping filial piety, so she stayed in Beiling Village.

He left a message that if Qin Ruolan continued to cause trouble, he would ask Qin Mu to send someone to send her to another hospital.

But when Qin Ruolan saw that her eldest and second brothers were not here, and no one else would spoil her, she had no choice but to rein in her resentful temper and do her job obediently.

Qin Mu saw that she was quite calm, so he didn't deliberately find fault. He just watched the old lady discipline her with cold eyes.

When he came back this time, Qin Junyi saw that she had changed a lot, and he couldn't bear her to marry in another country, lest she would be bullied and out of reach, so he didn't mention it.

Unexpectedly, before this change lasted for a day, Qin Ruolan's true colors were revealed.

"You go back and think about it carefully. I will give an answer to the King of Goguryeo in three days."

Qin Ruolan walked out of the study absentmindedly, and when she saw Shiyi exuding alienation around her, the balance in her heart gradually tilted...

At the same time, General Zhu, the commander-in-chief of Jizhou Camp, received the news that the rebel army had defected to Qin Junyi, and immediately summoned military advisors to see him.
