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

Upon hearing that it was someone coming from the mansion, all the soldiers wisely exited the main account and returned to their respective posts.

But not long after, they received the news that Qin Mu had a stern expression and left the camp together with the messenger in the mansion.

Everyone knows that in addition to serving in the military, Qin Mu is also the head of the Qin family.

Could it be that someone in the clan took advantage of the Lord's absence to stir up demons and cause chaos?

They never expected that there was a fire in Qin Mu's backyard.

Oh no, Qin Mu hasn't married Yin Ruoshu yet, so it doesn't count as a backyard, but the meaning is quite different.

Qin Mu rushed back to the house in a hurry, and Su Yunwan was a little surprised to see him.

Why didn't he go to Yin Ruoshu immediately?

"Sister-in-law, yesterday evening, I heard Shu'er inquiring about you..." Qin Mu looked businesslike and directly told him about his unhappiness with Yin Ruoshu.

Su Yunwan listened silently, frowned and asked, "Has she had any contact with anyone outside?"

"Except for the masters and students of the academy, there is no one else. I checked those people all night last night, and I haven't found anyone suspicious yet."

The academy in Beiling Village is named Baichuan, which means "the sea is filled with hundreds of rivers". It offers a variety of subjects such as Confucianism, engineering, and agriculture.

All the masters who teach and resolve doubts are people who have taken refuge in the Qin family and have excellent moral character, while the students are the juniors of the Qin family and the children of capable subordinates. It can be called the Qin family's internal book school.

From the moment Qin Mu brought Yin Ruoshu to Beiling Village, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of ensuring that she was harmless to the Qin family.

Yin Ruoshu's seemingly direct inquiry last night made him unable to let go for a long time.

Even though she admitted in her heart that she was just out of curiosity and had no malicious intentions, she still launched an investigation to prevent others from having ulterior motives and secretly guided her to ensure nothing went wrong.

"That's possible. She was just out of curiosity." Su Yunwan said matter-of-factly.

When it comes to living in seclusion, Su Yunwan has real experience.

When she was in the last days and lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, she would occasionally have a whim and take a trip to the city.

Perhaps it is human nature to live in groups engraved in genes. Although Yin Ruoshu was employed in the academy, she kept to herself and lived in isolation. She has never left Beiling Village since she set foot in it.

After a long time, it will inevitably feel too monotonous and we can't help but pay attention to the people and things around us.

Qin Mu nodded in agreement: "I think so too. She expressed her desire to leave in front of you, which indirectly confirmed that curiosity was the cause. But just in case, I will continue to investigate in depth to avoid being exposed by the enemy." Penetrate without knowing.”

Su Yunwan admired his ability to distinguish between public and private affairs and to guard against the slightest inconvenience. "Then it will be hard on you. By the way, when she left, she expressed the idea of ​​​​retreating to seclusion with you..."

"Impossible!" Qin Mu interrupted Su Yunwan excitedly.

Immediately, his words were sonorous, powerful and resounding: "Don't say that the world is not at peace now, even if the country is peaceful and the people are safe one day in the future, I will stay by my brother's side to assist and protect him."

Su Yunwan couldn't help but be moved by it, and said with emotion: "Your eldest brother is extremely lucky to have you. But more than anything else, your eldest brother hopes you can live a happy life."

There was no doubt that Yin Ruoshu was planning something of her own. Su Yunwan asked someone to tell Qin Mu to make Qin Mu mentally prepared.

No one is perfect. If Qin Mu discovers the other side of Yin Ruoshu and remains obsessed with her, she will not do anything to beat the couple.

Love is like drinking water, you know whether it is warm or cold.

Qin Mu's tone was solemn and serious, revealing an indescribable persistence: "I understand, but my life has long belonged to my eldest brother. If one day he no longer needs me, I will lose my ability to survive. significance."

After saying these words, a touch of self-deprecation flashed across his face.

His father forged him into a knife in the hands of the family master and forcibly placed mission and responsibility on him.

Now that his father is gone, he can leave at any time and change his destiny whenever he wants.

But he drew the ground as a prison and enjoyed it very much.

No one can shake his firm belief, not even his most beloved woman!

After Qin Mu finished talking to Su Yunwan, he did not turn around to find Yin Ruoshu, but returned to the military camp.

Firstly, he still had military affairs to deal with, and secondly, he had already met Yin Ruoshu when he set out in the morning. At that time, except for her indifferent attitude, she did not mention her intention to leave.

In less than half a day, she rashly proposed to her sister-in-law that she wanted to leave without any discussion or consideration, without taking his thoughts into consideration at all.

Therefore, Qin Mu felt depressed and wanted to digest it for a while and wait until night to see if she was acting out of anger or if she had really made up her mind to find a secluded place.

And whether it was the latter or not, he could pick a few places to go as backup.

These locations had to protect her personal safety while not affecting their private meetings, so it took a lot of effort to select them.

I was busy until dark.

When he returned to Beiling Village at night, he went directly to the courtyard where Yin Ruoshu lived.

The maid Ah Man heard the knock on the door, opened the courtyard door and saw him, her eyes suddenly widened: "Master, you came back at the right time. The lady personally cooked and prepared a sumptuous table of wine and food."

Qin Mu's heart suddenly sank, but his face didn't show it at all, "Really? I'll go take a look."

He walked towards the kitchen and happened to meet Yin Ruoshu who was coming out with a crock pot. He quickly took over and said, "I'll do it!"

Yin Ruoshu smiled sweetly, walked to the hall with him, and asked Aman to bring the remaining dishes over.

A table full of dishes was already placed on the dining table in the hall.

Yin Ruoshu picked up the wine pot and poured it into the cup, looking forward to it: "These are the fruits of my busy afternoon. Try them to see if they taste good."

"Your cooking skills have been practiced for a long time, so they are definitely not bad." After Qin Mu sat down, he picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and praised a few more times.

Yin Ruoshu filled a glass of wine for herself and raised her glass: "It's a nice night today. I'll have a few drinks with you."

Qin Mu glanced at the pitch-black window and chuckled, "It's really good."

After saying that, he drank the glass in one gulp.

The strong wine entered his mouth, burning into his throat like fire, with a complex taste. Qin Mu put down the wine glass, "Is this wine?"

Yin Ruoshu nodded. She didn't know whether it was because the reason she gave was too embarrassing or because she was affected by his magnetic voice. Her face turned red and she drank it down.

Then, she picked up the wine bottle and filled the two empty glasses.

"Brother Mu, it was my fault yesterday. I knew I might be blackmailed one day, but I was curious and lost my sense of proportion. I punished myself with three drinks to express my apology." After saying that, under Qin Mu's surprised gaze, she said, He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

As a child of the grasslands, Yin Ruoshu has a good drinking capacity. Qin Mu had once had a drinking contest with her while she was disguised as a man, so he naturally knew how much she drank, so he didn't stop her immediately.

However, when he saw her hand reaching for the jug again, Qin Mu quickly moved the jug away: "Okay, drink slowly. I also did something inappropriate, and it's my turn to apologize."

After saying that, he drank three glasses of wine.

When Yin Ruoshu saw this, she looked at him blankly, the look in her eyes was extremely complicated.

After Qin Mu finished three glasses of wine, she seemed to wake up from a dream and quickly called Qin Mu to eat.

Under the candlelight, the two of them drank and chatted, and Qin Mu's tense nerves gradually relaxed.

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Yin Ruoshu talked about various past experiences of meeting, acquaintance, knowing and falling in love when she was young.

Listening to his lover's tender words, Qin Mu completely relaxed his heartstrings and was brought into the beautiful memories of the past.

Yin Ruoshu was drunk, her eyes were blurred, she caressed Qin Mu's face and kissed her coldly.
