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

"Third Master, be careful!" Yin Ruoshu hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief and covered the wine flowing on the table with it to prevent it from splashing onto Qin Mu.

The maid who was waiting outside heard the noise and hurried in, wiping and cleaning up the place quickly.

Soon, the table and the floor were cleaned, and as a clean wine glass was brought to the table, the maids left again.

Qin Mu stood stiffly aside, watching the maids clean up the mess, but his eyes were unfocused.

A sentence echoed in my mind: Big brother must know!

That’s right, no matter how beautiful the beauty is, he can’t even fool himself, so how can he fool his big brother!

As for the excuse of having children, the eldest brother is not like the eldest sister-in-law. She knows very well that he just wants to be a "lone minister" and has no intention of doing anything about it.

Everything he did was just self-deception. Not only was it futile, but he also made the mistake of making presumptuous assumptions.

Now that the incident has happened, my eldest brother doesn't want to see him anymore and wants to expel him...

The more Qin Mu thought about it, the more desperate he became, and his whole body was filled with desolation and sadness.

Su Yunwan gave Qin Junyi a puzzled look: Why did you suddenly do this?

Qin Junyi had been paying attention to Qin Mu, but he still didn't leave Su Yunwan behind. When he received her questioning look, he just smiled faintly. Then he filled the newly presented wine glass with his own hands and said to Qin Mu in a reproachful tone: "Why are you so excited? Sit down."

Qin Mu sat back in his original position stiffly, lowered his head and said nothing.

Qin Junyi added: "I was thinking that if you went to the capital, in addition to defending the city, you could also supervise the implementation of the new policy. More importantly, no one can match you in supervising the manufacture of military equipment and supporting the western front."

These words were like a thorn in Qin Mu's heart, and he bent over in pain.

No matter how high-sounding his words are, they cannot conceal the fact that he is being despised. Instead, they block all his escape routes!

Seeing that Qin Mu still didn't say anything, Qin Junyi said unhappily: "If you don't want to go, don't force yourself."

Qin Mu showed a miserable smile on his lowered face.

You said no one can compare to him, how can I refuse?

Besides, he could only obey the orders of his eldest brother and attack wherever he was told. He would not allow his eldest brother to say a word of "no".

But he was really wronged!

Qin Mu suddenly stood up, took a few steps back and knelt on the ground, resting his forehead on the cold blue bricks. He wanted to speak out his heartfelt defense, but because Su Yunwan was present, he couldn't utter a word.

Qin Junyi: "..."

Su Yunwan: "..."

Zhao Keyan looked at the scene at a loss, and suddenly knelt down beside Qin Mu, following the example of the husband singing and the concubine following.

She wanted to ask Qin Junyi to take back his decision, but she had no idea what had happened before and did not dare to intervene between the brothers.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Su Yunwan said, "Qin Mu, your elder brother is just discussing this with you. Even if you really want to leave, you have many responsibilities and it will affect the whole body. You can't just leave as you wish. Let's finish this meal first and discuss it later."

After saying that, she secretly stretched out two fingers to pinch Qin Junyi's waist, wanting to twist it hard, but her hand slipped because of the tight waist muscles.

Qin Junyi's body trembled, he straightened his back and said angrily: "Why don't you get up!"

Hearing this, Zhao Keyan leaned over and grabbed Qin Mu's hand, and gently called out, "Third Master..."

Qin Mu avoided her hand, stood up, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm full."

Qin Junyi: "...Then go back and rest first, and we'll discuss it tomorrow."

"Brother and sister-in-law, please enjoy your meal. Good night!" Qin Mu said and glanced at Zhao Keyan.

"I'm full too, so I'll take my leave first. Good night, Your Majesty and Princess!" Zhao Keyan bowed and walked out with Qin Mu.

After the two walked away, Su Yunwan asked complainingly, "What's wrong with you?"

Qin Junyi held his forehead in distress and said, "I think that if my third brother is away from his familiar relatives, he may be able to forget the past, relax his body and mind, and start a new life."

Su Yunwan glanced at him and said, "But have you ever thought that for him, this is tantamount to exile."

"So serious? Third brother, you should know that I can't exile him." Qin Junyi was shocked and frowned fiercely.

"That's under normal circumstances. Now..." Su Yunwan stopped talking and looked at Qin Junyi meaningfully.

Qin Junyi:! ! !

"Wan Wan...you know everything?"

"Hmm!" Su Yunwan blinked and said indifferently, "What do you think?"

"What can I think? Of course I trust her absolutely! You don't know how much I want to kill Yin Ruoshu!

But I have to be cautious. If she dies, it will definitely hurt my third brother, so I can only use a psychological offensive.

But look at what Third Brother did? He was so defensive against me! "

Qin Junyi felt guilty and only answered one sentence before calmly changing the subject to Qin Mu.

But the more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he wished he could catch Qin Mu and beat him up.

How could Su Yunwan not know his intention: "......"

She said faintly: "It turned out to be Yin Ruoshu!"

"You don't know?" Qin Junyi was suddenly shocked and looked at Su Yunwan in disbelief.

So he's confessed himself?

Su Yunwan snorted coldly, "Don't you know now?"

Qin Junyi was anxious: "Wanwan, listen to me, I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's really better not to know about this matter. But please believe me, I absolutely don't have the slightest doubt!"

Su Yunwan raised her eyelids and interrupted his mumbling: "Isn't this as it should be?"

"Yes, it should be." Qin Junyi said, and then he took her into his arms and whispered in her ear: "Wanwan, don't be angry, okay?"

The breath beside her ears was itchy. Su Yunwan shrank her neck and said in a tone that made her feel unreasonable: "Do you still dare to lie to me?"

"I won't dare to do it again, ever again!" Qin Junyi responded, but he was thinking in his heart: If there really is a next time, he still doesn't want Su Yunwan to know about this.

Su Yunwan stared at him straight, as if seeing through his innermost thoughts.

She struggled to break free from Qin Junyi's embrace and shouted, "You still want to deceive me!"

"Wanwan!" Qin Junyi was suddenly panicked and hurriedly reached out to grab Su Yunwan, with a hint of earnestness in his voice.

However, Su Yunwan sat back in her chair and said coldly, "Eat!"

Qin Junyi sighed helplessly, let go of his hand and said, "Okay, another bowl of soup?"

Su Yunwan shook her head and took a sip of the fruit drink.

With the cup blocking his view, Qin Junyi was unable to notice that there was a hint of smile in her eyes.

Qin Mu strode back to Qingsong Garden, glanced sideways at Yin Ruoshu who was running and panting, and said solemnly: "Don't tell anyone about what happened just now, including your family."

Yin Ruoshu wiped the sweat off her forehead and bowed, "Yes, Third Master, don't worry."

"Go back and rest." Qin Mu said, then turned and went to the study.

Zhao Keyan looked at his back worriedly, then went to the kitchen, made a bowl of delicious noodles by herself, and asked someone to send it to Qin Mu.

Qin Mu stared at the steaming noodles in a daze, feeling bitter in his heart, and made a decision.
