The system forces me to be a scumbag

Lin Qiao frowned, "Father sent someone here?"

Lin Zhao nodded.

Lin Qiao sighed. When he gave Lin Zhao the token, he knew that things would turn out like this. Their whereabouts were still exposed.

Home is to go back, but he can't go back now.

"Lin Zhao, go find a cage and put Chu Chu in it, I want to raise it."

Lin Zhao pointed to the rabbit in Lin Qiao's arms, "Master, Chuchu, is that the one in your arms?"

He had seen the rabbit in the young master's arms a long time ago. It turned out that it was called Chuchu, and he didn't know when the young master raised it.

"Ah."

Lin Qiao squeezed the rabbit's neck, smiling brightly.

At that time, he felt that this rabbit was just like Chu Mu, stupid, so he gave it the name Chu Chu on a whim, but now the more he calls it, the more fluent it is.

On the other side, Chu Mu was surrounded by a group of subordinates.

"General, while you were away, Nanban soldiers attacked the city again, let's go back quickly, the battle is urgent."

"That's right, the Nanman is so hateful that he actually attacked us halfway. Fortunately, you have changed your face, General. This trick is really clever!"

A group of soldiers were praising Cheng Xiao for his brilliance and martial arts. Only he knew that was not the case, but these were not important anymore, and he didn't want to explain.

"Tomorrow, we will go back to camp tomorrow."

He also had to arrange for Lin Qiao to return to the imperial city and send his sweetheart away so that he could fight with peace of mind.

It seemed that there was a tacit understanding, when Chu Mu went to look for Lin Qiao, Lin Qiao happened to go out to look for him.

The two stood facing each other with smiles on their faces.

"I'm going back to Yudu, my father sent someone to pick me up."

"When are you leaving?" Chu Mu asked.

"tomorrow."

Chu Mu nodded, "Be careful on the road."

"how about you?"

He hoped that Chu Mu would go back with him.

"I have to stay. I can't leave yet because the disaster of the Nanman has not been eliminated."

He is a general, marching and fighting is commonplace, Lin Qiao has known it for a long time, but he is still reluctant.

"Do you have anything to say to me?" Lin Qiao asked.

Chu Mu stepped forward and hugged him into his arms.

"Qiao Qiao, when I come back triumphantly, I will definitely marry you with red makeup and eight palanquins."

Lin Qiao hummed, "I'll wait for you."

He wanted to tell Chu Mu that he still had a marriage contract with Cheng Xiao, which was the emperor's decree, and the road between them would be difficult...

But now, all this is not important anymore.

He will only marry Chu Mu in this life!

The next day, Lin Qiao went north to return to the imperial city, while Chu Mu continued south to the military camp.

Before leaving, Chu Mu gave Lin Qiao the jade pendant that he had worn next to his body for more than 20 years, which was regarded as his promise to Lin Qiao, and Lin Qiao gave him the amulet that he had been carrying since childhood.

In this way, it can be regarded as an exchange of tokens of love.

Lin Qiao was locked up as soon as he got home.

This time he ran away from home, the prime minister was very angry, and even the prime minister's wife's intercession didn't work.

Lin Qiao also had backbone, refused to admit his mistake, and just spent time with his father.

Cheng Xiao went to war, he didn't have to face the marriage contract, he played chess and raised rabbits in his yard, and sent Lin Zhao out to find out news from the south.

He was happy when he won the battle in the south, but when the battle was not good, he couldn't sleep or eat.

After more than two months like this, Lin Qiao found that he was getting more and more lethargic, and his appetite became more and more strange. Things that he didn't like before now tasted fresh.

The first person who noticed something was wrong was Lin Qiao's nanny, Nanny Liu. She calmly invited a doctor to the mansion, saying that she was asking Lin Qiao for a pulse.

Usually there is a doctor in the mansion who specializes in taking pulse, but he has been to Huguo Temple for a long time, and he has not had a pulse since then, and Lin Qiao didn't take it to heart this time.

After taking the pulse, Nanny Liu said that she was going to take the doctor out, and found an excuse to leave.

"Doctor Zhou, how is my young master's pulse?"

Doctor Zhou looked around and saw no one, so he quietly told Mother Liu.

"The young master is a happy pulse."

Nanny Liu's hands were clenched tightly, and her back felt cold.

"Doctor Zhou please keep quiet and come with me to see the master and wife."

Dr. Zhou nodded. He is the personal doctor of the prime minister's mansion. For so many years, the prime minister's mansion has treated him well. The young master of the prime minister's mansion is pregnant before he gets married. He will keep his mouth shut about this matter.

"What?! Ximai! Are you kidding me?!"

When Prime Minister Lin heard this, he immediately became furious and firmly refused to believe it.

"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible!"

His son, who has learned etiquette, integrity, and shame, how could he have a secret relationship with others, not to mention, he has been under his nose all day long, and has never dealt with outside men...

He suddenly remembered the days when Lin Qiao ran away from home.

Prime Minister Lin said with a livid face, "Ask Lin Zhao to come over."

When Lin Zhao was called, he was frightened by Prime Minister Lin's majesty, and was trembling for a while.

"Old, sir, ma'am."

"Let me ask you, when you and the young master were away, who did you have contact with?" Prime Minister Lin asked.

Lin Zhao told everything that happened to them. When he heard that Lin Qiao and Chu Mu had been alone for more than ten days, Prime Minister Lin's face darkened even more.

"Who is that Chu Mu you mentioned?"

"Master, I don't know, but the young master said he was a great general, and those soldiers treated him respectfully..."

Prime Minister Lin waved his hand, telling him to go back, and said, "Don't tell the young master what happened today."

Lin Zhao quickly responded.

"Master, what should we do now?" The prime minister's wife was anxious.

The marriage contract between the Lin family and the Cheng family is the imperial decree of the former emperor. If they resist the decree, it will implicate the whole family!

Prime Minister Lin was also in a hurry, but he was still able to maintain some sense.

He sealed the mouths of the insiders, and sent someone to investigate Chu Mu's details.

Those who were sent out returned quickly.

Chu Mu is indeed a real person, he is a lieutenant general under Cheng Xiao's subordinate of the Cheng family army, he looks talented, and his martial arts skills are quite promising.

If the marriage hadn't been bestowed by the first emperor, he would have agreed to the marriage, but his son was destined to marry Cheng Xiao.

Looking at the memorial on the table, Prime Minister Lin came up with a countermeasure.

Not long after, Lin Qiao was released by Prime Minister Lin.

Lin Qiao was still surprised, when did his father become so kind?

However, with one sentence from Prime Minister Lin, he was beaten back to his original form.

"From today on, you go to the study and study with me."

It is a very painful thing to study with Prime Minister Lin, but it is better than being locked up, and there are many memorials in his father's study, maybe there is a southern military newspaper, so that he can know the news of Chu Mu up!

Lin Qiao quickly agreed and followed Prime Minister Lin to the study.

Prime Minister Lin was reading the memorial, while Lin Qiao was studying the ink beside him, looking left and right to find the memorial on the border.

Soon he found a bunch of memorials placed in the innermost part.

Seeing him looking at those memorials, Prime Minister Lin calmly reminded, "Those are border memorials, and they haven't been handed over to the emperor for review, so don't move at will."

Lin Qiao hummed, and asked again, "Father, is there any military newspaper from the south?"

Prime Minister Lin pretended not to know, hummed, and then mentioned, "The south is not peaceful now, and there is a war with the Nanman again, and many soldiers died."

Lin Qiao's heart tightened, many soldiers died... Chu Mu will be fine, right?

No, no, no, he wrote a letter to himself a few days ago, nothing will happen!

Lin Qiao tried hard to convince herself, but her eyes couldn't help but glance towards the military newspaper.
