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

"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry."

If it wasn't for the purpose of clearing himself of suspicion, Qin Mu didn't want to get married at all.

Zhao Keyan's love, which was mixed with countless selfish motives, not only failed to move him, but was instead regarded by him as a burden.

Seeing that he was full of repulsion, Su Yunwan said, "It doesn't matter. I didn't intend to bring you together."

There is no logic in matters of the heart.

If you don't like each other, no matter how much the other person gives, you won't be moved, and you may even feel annoyed.

The next day, Su Yunwan told Zhao Keyan about Qin Mu's idea, and Zhao Keyan cried silently.

When she calmed down a bit, Su Yunwan said, "I'll send someone to handle the transfer of your family's nationality."

"Thank you, Sister Wanwan. I would like to meet the Third Young Master first." Zhao Keyan's voice was choked with sobs.

The personal relationship between the two sisters and Su Yunwan has never been mixed with interests.

The matter of changing nationality was of great importance and she could not refuse. However, it would easily cause Su Yunwan to be criticized and she would find it difficult to repay him in the future, so she wanted to make a final effort.

"Okay, let Qinglan take you there."

Su Yunwan knew that she was going to get engaged soon, so she did not make another appointment and directly asked Qinglan to take her to the capital city to find Qin Mu.

It is not known how Zhao Keyan and Qin Mu reached a consensus. That night, Qin Mu returned and told Su Yunwan that he decided not to marry and would directly marry Zhao Keyan as his concubine.

In the Zhou Dynasty, the three wives and four concubines were clearly divided into different levels. The three wives referred to as the Teng wife, the side wife, and the secondary wife. They were high-level concubines whose status was second only to the legitimate wife and they had a certain chance of being promoted to the legitimate wife.

The four concubines refer to the side room, the companion room, the maidservant concubine, and the main room. Among them, the side room is a good concubine, and the last three are lowly concubines.

If Qin Mu is crowned king in the future, the concubine will correspond to the concubine, who will be second only to the princess.

There is only one position of princess, so the position of concubine has become the goal of many dignitaries.

Up to now, many dignitaries in the Sanzhou area want to marry their daughters into the Qin family. Even if they cannot become the main wife, they will be satisfied with being a concubine.

According to common sense, given Zhao Keyan's background, she could only be taken as a concubine. Qin Mu directly promised her as a concubine, which could be considered a high-ranking marriage.

The Zhao family never expected that the six-month date would end like this. Of course, they also knew their own limitations and never imagined that Zhao Keyan would marry Qin Mu as his legal wife.

Zhao Keyan was willing to accept this marriage, and it would bring huge benefits to the family, so no one in the Zhao family objected.

However, although the Zhao family agreed, many people in the Qin family opposed it, and the most fierce one among them was Uncle Qin.

That day, Uncle Qin called the old lady, Su Yunwan, Luo, and the third aunt together and asked Qin Mu: "As a punishment, you have not forgotten the rule of marrying a wife first and then taking a concubine, have you?"

"My nephew knows that he has violated the rules and he accepts the punishment voluntarily." Qin Mu said firmly.

Uncle Qin was furious and slammed the table: "Do I want you to be punished? You should marry your wife first, give birth to a legitimate son, and then it won't be too late to take her into your room! Just tell the Zhao family, she will be waiting!"

The Luo family husband and wife followed suit: "Yes, Brother Mu, this position of a concubine is unusual. You have to consider your future wife."

The old lady thought of another aspect, "If you are in a hurry, you can first take in a concubine and wait for your wife to come in. If she doesn't like it, it will be easy to get rid of her."

After that, she said generously: "You can choose any maid in the mansion."

Qin Mu: "..."

It's not like he's impatient!

Su Yunwan picked up the teacup and pretended to drink, hiding the smile on her lips.

"Wanwan, what do you think?" the old lady asked habitually.

Su Yunwan put down the teacup and replied, "I don't have any opinion, but if I ask Ziyuan, I'm sure he will agree to it."

The old lady thought the same and said angrily, "Brother Yi only spoils him!"

Uncle Qin, however, was full of grief and indignation, and his attitude was tough: "Brother Mu, now that you have returned to the family, you should set an example. Just listen to your grandmother, first take in a concubine, then a wife, and finally a concubine."

Qin Mu confronted him head on: "My nephew only needs Miss Zhao Er."

Uncle Qin was furious, puffing his beard and glaring: "What kind of drug have you been fed?"

Wasn't the lesson he learned from eloping with Yin Ruoshu enough? Why did he have to fall for another woman?

"Uncle, please be careful with your words! My nephew has made up his mind, no need to say more." After Qin Mu finished speaking, he cast an apologetic look at Su Yunwan.

Uncle Qin was furious and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Then let's deal with it according to the family rules. Go and get eighty military sticks first!"

The Third Aunt, who had been listening silently, turned pale in an instant. She hurriedly stood up and bent over to beg: "Second Master! Please calm down, Rong Mu-ge, please take some time to think about it."

Qin Mu couldn't bear to see his mother bow her head, so he stood up to stop her: "Aunt, my son will be fine, please go back to the courtyard first."

"But..." The third aunt was so distressed that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Listen to my son." Qin Mu interrupted her, his attitude brooking no room for rebuttal.

At this moment, Su Yunwan put down the jade cup lid she was holding, glanced around with an indifferent look and said, "As far as I know, there is no such rule in either the family rules or the clan rules."

Uncle Qin: "......"

He just wanted to use punishment to force Qin Mu to retreat and let him clear out the water in his brain, but he didn't intend to really let Qin Mu be beaten with a military stick.

Su Yunwan's words just allowed him to go down the slope.

But the old lady, who was already resentful, saw that Qin Mu had abused her and her son's kindness, so she intended to teach Qin Mu a lesson: "Wan Wan, this is an unwritten rule in our family. Everyone in the family knows it."

"Since it's unwritten, it means there's room for maneuver. In my opinion, we should all stop arguing and write a letter to Ziyuan and let him make the decision."

Su Yunwan's words left the old lady speechless, and they ended up parting on bad terms.

Originally, when things had come to this point, all we had to do was send letters back and forth and wait for the results.

But Qin Mu chose an extreme approach due to certain considerations.
