Rebirth Strategy: Please let me go

"Brother Huai'an really did it. He stood out among many talented people. I don't know what the second question of Furong Jin Pavilion is."

An Jinshu touched the blade of the sword and remembered what Sheng Huaian said to her before leaving last night: Don't worry, leave it to me.

An Jinshu smiled brightly. Brother Huai'an really didn't lie to her. She had to thank him properly.

Suddenly An Jinshu's smile disappeared from the corner of her mouth, just because she remembered her original intention of wanting this sword.

Brother Huai'an had put in so much effort, and her innocence was almost tainted by villains like the Third Prince. Giving such a hard-earned sword to Gu Qingchen was not worth it.

Thinking that what he did to her was no different from someone like the Third Prince, An Jinshu pouted and looked at the sword. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he could not give it to him.

Fortunately, she still wanted to live in harmony with him. She felt that he treated her well and did not want to involve the two of them in their feud.

Hatred is hatred, love is love. She didn't want to mix them up, but now he is always teasing and bullying her like this. Shi Ke can't bear it. Putting aside An Jia and his grudges, she is now the victim, why should he want her? Bow?

"Put it away. Don't talk about it or take it out without my permission."

An Jinshu ordered coldly, and then quickly entered the room without looking at the sword.

Ah Li was puzzled, wasn't this sword the treasure he had worked so hard to find? Shanda came here early in the morning to deliver this thing, but his lady actually wanted to lock it up and not give it to the fourth young master?

Ah Li was confused. When Hong Li saw her holding the sword and standing there in a daze, he stepped forward and patted her head: "What are you thinking? Isn't it heavy to hold? Why don't you quickly lock it up as the lady ordered."

"Sister Hongli." Ah Li called her, "I don't understand why the lady has to lock up something she spent so much effort to find."

Hong Li glanced at the main house and saw the thin back of the girl in the house through the raised window. Why was it locked? It’s not like the young lady is having trouble with the fourth young master again.

She glanced at the sword, called two young men to come up and share the burden for Ah Li, and then told Ah Li: "Please follow these two people to the small warehouse to put things away. Don't forget what the lady said. There are some things you can do." You will understand later."

Ah Li scratched her head naively. Although she still didn't quite understand, she didn't ask anymore. Sometimes it's not always a good thing to get to the bottom of things.

Since Gu Qingchen's return home today was not a big event, Qu arranged a family dinner.

During dinner in the evening, everyone in the An family gave Gu Qingchen gifts, no matter how big or small they were.

First, he rewarded him for his hard work in Yangzhou, secondly, he thanked him for saving An Ruhe's life, and finally, he praised his courage and praised him for daring to lead two guards into the cave to suppress the rebels. He was really brave.

An Jinran looked at Gu Qingchen with admiration because of this incident. He hugged him and drank a lot of wine. Even if Gu Qingchen drank half of it and missed the other half, his face turned red in the end, and his drunken eyes only added to his beauty.

Qu Shiben was chatting in a low voice with Mrs. An. When he looked up, he noticed that they had drunk a little too much and quickly stopped them: "Don't drink anymore."

She looked at An Jinran and said angrily: "Your brother is already tired and hard after traveling for a long time. You still give him so much wine. If he has an upset stomach at night, won't he be punished?"

An Jinran laughed and hugged Gu Qingchen's shoulders: "Ah Chen has a good drinking capacity. If he drinks too much, just lie down and sleep. Now that we are home and not outside, why should mother worry, not to mention Ah Chen My son knows how much he drinks, and what he drinks will not upset his stomach but help him sleep."

An Jinshu also advised from the side: "Don't worry, grandma. I haven't relaxed for a long time. It's rare for me to relax tonight, so I'll ask my brother to have a few drinks with him."

It's good to be drunk. If you lie down and sleep when you're drunk, you won't become a monster.

The green knuckles holding the white jade glass cup suddenly tightened, and the joints were faintly white. Gu Qingchen gave a sneer smile where no one could see it. Want to ask An Jinran to get him drunk?

She's so cute and innocent. His sister doesn't seem to know that once a person starts thinking about another thing, it's hard to end it. Being drunk will only induce a stronger desire in the heart, but it will not enhance a person's endurance.

"Your sister and brother will be well prepared tomorrow. After some discussion with your mother, I decided to take advantage of the fact that the lotus flowers are in full bloom and the weather is hot to go to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city to escape the summer heat."

Mrs. An spoke at the right time, attracting everyone's attention.

An Jinran and An Ruhe had official duties and could not go. Although ministers could also take leave, the emperor did not go to escape the hot summer. Instead, he diligently went to court every day to review the papers. The emperor insisted on setting an example. How could they, the ministers, abandon their official duties and pursue pleasure? If they did, wouldn't it be a blatant challenge to the authority of the emperor?

An Ruhe and An Jinran were unable to go, so only the four members of the Qu family could go. They asked An Ruhe if the emperor had any plans to summon Gu Qingchen. After hearing that His Majesty was busy with political affairs recently, Mrs. An was relieved. Just like she thought at first, nothing would be delayed.

After talking about the summer vacation, Mrs. An took a drink of water to moisten her throat and then mentioned Gu Qingchen's study tour.

This matter was initially negotiated by the Qu family and other elders in the family but Gu Qingchen was not informed. Now that Mrs. An informed Gu Qingchen, Gu Qingchen showed no abnormality except for the initial surprise.

Study tour is not impossible...

He raised his eyes and glanced at the girl who was immersed in drinking rice wine silently.

Studying abroad is too far away from home and further away from her, which is not appropriate.

After the family banquet, everyone went back to their own courtyards. It was getting late, so Qu didn't stay with An Jinshu, but asked her to go back and rest early.

On the way back, An Jinshu never thought that Gu Qingchen was waiting for her.

Seeing An Jinshu, a slender figure not far away, stopped and stopped moving forward. She didn't move and the figure slowly came towards her. Gu Qingchen didn't stop until the two parties could see each other's expressions clearly.

"What are you doing here without sleeping in the middle of the night?" An Jinshu stepped back involuntarily smelling the smell of alcohol on his body, really afraid that this guy would get sick after drinking.

Perhaps because of drinking or because he didn't care, Gu Qingchen didn't notice An Jinshu's retreating action.

He raised his eyes, a pair of evil eyebrows were as dark as the abyss, surrounding An Jinshu's small figure and sinking deep into his eyes,

"Brother, I have two questions for my sister. Please answer me seriously."

question? I want her to answer seriously. Is it okay if she wants to say no?

Before An Jinshu nodded in agreement, Gu Qingchen asked his first question: "Why did sister's gift today change from a sword to an inkstone?"

It was not surprising that he knew about her search for the sword. After all, he was also in Furong Jin Pavilion that night, and he probably found out something.

"I saw that the sword was not good, so I didn't give it to my brother. I will find a better one for my brother later."

Gu Qingchen sneered when he heard this, not sure whether he believed it or not.

Then he asked a second question: "Sister, are you avoiding me?"
