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

Over the years, Yin Ruoshu was employed as a music theory teacher at the academy in Beiling Village to protect her background.

As Qin Mu's closest lover, she was smart and quickly realized from Qin Mu that Su Yunwan was special.

Late that night, she woke up from a nightmare and opened the window, and happened to see two people walking on the village road.

Behind them are endless mountains.

As the distance got closer, she found that the man holding the lantern looked very familiar.

And the other person turned out to be Su Yunwan!

As if she had encountered a secret, she hid to the side of the window, leaning against the wall with her face turned pale.

For a time, all kinds of complicated thoughts came to my mind.

When they got together the next day, she paid careful attention to Qin Mu's words and deeds, and saw that his mood was rarer and more relaxed than usual.

As the night passed, she had ruled out the possibility of a private meeting between the two, and secretly guessed that Su Yunwan had done something to put him in such a good mood.

Combined with the army setting out for the expedition and Qin Mu arranging military supplies, she could easily guess that what Su Yunwan did was beneficial to the war.

It can be seen from this that Su Yunwan is by no means as simple as the eldest daughter of the Su family.

No wonder she had the confidence to cut off contact with her natal family. Not only did she gain the sincerity of the head of the Qin family, but she also gained the respect and love of everyone in the Qin family.

Even her lover, who had a sudden change of temperament and was selfless, truly respected her, and not just because Su Yunwan was his eldest brother's legitimate wife.

Yin Ruoshu aroused strong curiosity and was ready to find out.

One evening a few days later, Qin Mu finally compressed time and finished his official duties ahead of schedule, and invited Yin Ruoshu to go on a date in the mountains.

The two of them arrived in front of a high hanging waterfall. One played the piano and the other practiced swordplay, acting like a couple living in seclusion in the mountains.

The song ends and the long sword is drawn back. They looked at each other and smiled, and the tacit understanding still existed.

Yin Ruoshu stood up from the big stone at a high place. Qin Mu strode forward, stretched out his hand to pick her up and jumped down.

After standing firm, Qin Mu looked up at the waterfall flowing down the mountain stream, and sighed: "The scenery here is nice. When my elder brother comes back, I can ask him to take my sister-in-law to play."

"It will probably take a long time. We can invite her to come with us next time." Yin Ruoshu's eyes flashed and she made a suggestion.

Qin Mu smiled and shook his head: "She doesn't want to disturb us, so she will definitely refuse."

"How about you alone?" Yin Ruoshu asked in a tentative tone.

Qin Mu: "..."

His pupils shrank and he looked at Yin Ruoshu with suspicion: "Why do you think so?"

Even if he brought his attendants with him, it would be an act of transgression for him to be a brother-in-law.

It's not like he's tired of living, but he doesn't want to be beaten by his elder brother.

Yin Ruoshu pretended to be relaxed and said: "What's the point? It's not the first time anyway."

Qin Mu frowned suddenly, his face suddenly darkened, and his voice became stern unconsciously: "What are you talking about? Please tell me clearly."

"Weren't you two together a few nights ago?" Yin Ruoshu was aroused by his attitude and spoke uncontrollably for a while.

Qin Mu thought of what happened that night and couldn't help but laugh: "We are doing business, don't think blindly."

Yin Ruoshu followed his words and continued to ask: "What business?"

This question touched Qin Mu's sensitive nerves, and alarm bells rang immediately. His calm expression became tense again, "Why are you asking so many questions?"

"I'm just curious. Your sister-in-law has never been interested in governing, so how could she suddenly get involved in official matters?" Yin Ruoshu didn't hide her doubts and asked Qin Mu directly.

Qin Mu's answer seemed a bit stiff: "You should know very well that my sister-in-law always does whatever she wants without any restrictions or restrictions. Shu'er, please withdraw your curiosity and don't explore my sister-in-law. There are some things you know too much about. Too much will do you no good.”

Yin Ruoshu was keenly aware of Qin Mu's strong wariness, and a feeling of sadness arose spontaneously.

She stared at Qin Mu with tearful eyes, and asked with a trembling voice: "Are you doubting me?"

"I'm reminding you." Qin Mu responded with a serious face.

"No, you are just doubting me! Did you never really trust me from the beginning?" Yin Ruoshu became more and more excited.

Qin Mu was at a loss and hugged her tightly, "If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have brought you back to Beiling Village."

"Do you think I care?" Yin Ruoshu beat his chest and struggled desperately.

These words caused Qin Muru to be severely injured, and the strength of his restrained arms loosened slightly.

After Yin Ruoshu broke free, she kept retreating. Suddenly her feet slipped and she almost fell into the pool.

Qin Mu quickly reached out and pulled her back into his arms. Yin Ruoshu was frightened and stopped struggling.

The two of them are obviously close at hand, but their hearts are far apart.

The afterglow of the setting sun hung on the horizon, and the sky gradually darkened.

Qin Mu's cold voice broke the silence: "It's getting late, let's go back first."

Yin Ruoshu nodded and let him hold her hand down the mountain.

The two of them walked back without saying a word. Halfway there, they happened to meet Su Yunwan, the old lady, Qin Mu's mother-in-law, third aunt, and others who were out for a walk.

Ever since Qin Junyi ignored the objections of his clan members on grounds of disrespect for their ancestors, forcibly included Qin Mu in the family tree and returned to the Qin family, the third aunt, who was already in good health, expressed her gratitude and often performed filial piety in front of the old lady to relieve Qin Junyi's worries.

She was originally the concubine specially given to the late prince by the old lady, and she served the old lady with meticulous care.

The old lady remembered that she had been alone for many years, and felt pity for her. She did not ask her to do anything, but only let her accompany her and talk.

Qin Mu saw that his mother only needed to talk, but did not interfere with what she did.

Now when they met face to face, San Yiniang suddenly looked bad when she saw Yin Ruoshu.

If it weren't for Yin Ruoshu, his son wouldn't have suffered so much.

However, she couldn't control her stubborn son, and with Qin Junyi's approval, she could only let it go.

Yin Ruoshu felt even more unhappy when she saw San Yiniang's rather bored expression.

The old lady had an old grudge with Qin Mu and didn't give her a good look. After the two greeted her, she just waved her hands and let them do what they wanted.

Qin Mu responded, nodded to Su Yunwan, and then sent Yin Ruoshu back to her residence.

Su Yunwan glanced at their backs and couldn't help but wonder: Did they quarrel?

As far as she knew, both Qin Mu and Yin Ruoshu cherished the hard-won time together. They were in love with each other, cherished each other, and had never had any quarrels.

Could it be that Beidi's spies have discovered Yin Ruoshu?

The more she thought about it, the more she went sideways. She had no idea that the conflict between the two would be related to her.

On the other side, Yin Ruoshu returned to her residence. Before she entered the door, she muttered to Qin Mu, "I want to be quiet for a while."

"Okay, then I'll leave first. You can rest early." Qin Mu's mind was also very confused and he didn't stay much longer.

Yin Ruoshu looked at his unrepentant back, her heart suddenly felt sour, and she almost shed tears.

The next day, Su Yunwan heard a report from his servant: "Madam, Miss Yin wants to see you."
