When Qin Mubai returned home, the entire family was overjoyed and overjoyed.

It had been several years since Qin Gaoyang had seen his mother and sister when he left home after returning to the capital to get married to Princess Mubai. Too many things happened in the past few years. Qin Shubao died in battle, Qin Mubai died fraudulently, and then destroyed Tibet and the Western Regions …

The pitiful bones on the Wuding River were still in her best friend’s dreams.

The men of the family were marching on the battlefield, and the pitiful ones were precisely the women of the family.

When mother Madam Liu and sister Qin Shuang’er received Qin Mubai, they burst into tears of joy and hugged each other, unable to persuade them. Qin Mubai’s children also cried loudly, and then laughed loudly. Outsiders were confused and thought that something was wrong with the family.

When Qin Mubai returned home, his heart felt as if it had landed on the ground, and he felt much more at ease. He temporarily put aside all the troubles in the outside world and enjoyed the happiness of his family.

Qin Mubai was most delighted to see his children again after a long separation. During the meal, he held Qin Ying and Qin Di left and right and personally fed them. The eldest daughter, Little Lou’er, was jealous and didn’t do anything. She also leaned over to Qin Mubai and shouted for food. The family was happy and happy.

What made Qin Mubai the happiest was the second son Ashner Blood Lotus gave to Qin Mubai. Probably because the little fellow’s body had the dual bloodline of a Qin Family martial artist and a grassland man, he was quite sturdy, and his appetite exceeded that of two or three children of the same age. His crying voice was also loud to the point of exaggeration.

Mother Madam Liu said that there were many men in the clan who fought. The word “blood” in the name of the Blood Lotus was unlucky, so it was better to call it “snow” lotus. Back then, Blood Lotus had changed the word because she wanted revenge and blood hatred. Now that her enemy was dead, she was happy to change her name back to Ashner Snowlotus.

The son she gave to Qin Mubai had originally agreed to surname “Ah Shina”. At first, Old Madame Liu was a little unhappy. After all, she was an old man. How could the heirs of her family take her mother’s surname? Qin Mubai worked to persuade her mother that Xue Yantuo had already exterminated the Ashna direct bloodline of the first noble of the grasslands. Snow Lotus was also doing this to show some filial piety and allow the Ashna bloodline to continue. In the future, if the imperial court granted amnesty, Snowlotus would definitely inherit the title of Ashner Clan. In the end, she naturally had to let her son inherit it.

This is not necessarily a bad thing.

Old Madame Liu had never said anything about Qin Mubai. Her nature was always magnanimous and tolerant. Seeing that Xue Lian was lonely and without her parents, she was also very pitiful, so she agreed.

As a result, Qin Mubai’s second son was named Ashner Chengsi. This was the typical name of the combination of Hua and Hu, and the implication was obvious. In addition, Old Madame Liu gave her grandson a nickname, Little Wolf, Little Wolf, according to the ancient customs of the Central Plains, in order to make it easier for him to raise his grandson.

The wolf was a Turkic totem, and Snowlotus was very satisfied with it. After living in this big family for so long, she was pregnant and had a child. She gradually fused with them and accepted many of their relatives. From then on, she no longer felt lonely. She just missed her sister, Xi Yan, who was still in the north.

Qin Mubai said that after Xue Rengui returned, he would finish dealing with the matters in his hands and ask him to go to the northern grasslands to bring Xi Yan back. At that time, the family would be reunited.

Although there were many disturbances in front of him, Qin Mubai was very calm. He rested at home for three days without leaving the house, ignoring national affairs and military affairs. He had a good rest. He was like a battery that was about to run out of energy. Now, under the warmth of his family, he was filled with electricity and full of vitality.

The celebration banquet arranged by Pang Fei was about to begin in a few days. Qin Mubai thought it was time to show his face and meet the officials of the Governor’s Mansion and the generals in the army. Just as he was about to leave for the Governor’s Mansion’s yamen, an uninvited guest arrived at his home.

The man claimed to be the Qin Family’s Young Master Qin Tong’s housekeeper, surnamed Lu. When Qin Mubai went to his eldest brother’s mansion, he had seen it before, but he didn’t have a deep impression of it. Madam Liu and Shuang’er knew each other. They said that Butler Lu had worked in Big Brother’s Mansion five or six years ago and was in charge of the tenancy of Yongye Field under Qin Tong’s name. He often interacted with tenants in the fields outside Chang’an and did not stay in Big Brother’s Mansion often. He said that he had always been loyal and honest, and that he was the person Qin Tong trusted the most.

Although Qin Mubai wasn’t familiar with Steward Lu, he didn’t think too much about it with his mother and sister as witnesses. Seeing that housekeeper Lu Feng Chen was in a panic and seemed to have escaped, he was a little worried that something had happened to his big brother’s family.

Thus, he called Steward Lu to ask questions in private.

Housekeeper Lu was nearly 50 years old and looked very old. He looked like an honest laborer. Before Qin Mubai could ask, he knelt down and sobbed, “Third Young Master, you must save Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master!”

Qin Mubai was shocked, “What’s going on? Tell me more!”

Housekeeper Lu cried out, “Rumors are circulating in Chang’an that the third young master is going to rebel.” The Eldest Young Master and the Second Young Master were both loyal and righteous people. In order to prevent the imperial court from harming the clan, they took the initiative to bind themselves to the palace and plead guilty. Who would have thought that Eldest Sun Wuji would take advantage of this to secretly detain the two young masters and throw them into prison! “Not to mention, they even captured the two young masters and their servants and threw them into jail!”

“What?!” Qin Mubai was furious and slapped the table, “Such a bastard?!”

“Third Young Master, save me!” Housekeeper Lu cried out, “If it weren’t for the fact that the little elder went to the countryside to collect rent, he would have been detained as well!” At this moment, the two young masters were in danger, and they were eagerly awaiting the third young masters’ rescue! ”

Qin Mubai’s anger filled his chest and fists, causing his bones to crackle. He gritted his teeth and roared, “Changsun Wuji, I swear that I will not stand apart from you!”

He smashed his fist on the table and the teacup flew all over the ground. The sturdy mahogany table was almost cracked!

“Third Young Master, save me! Help me!” Housekeeper Lu only kowtowed on the ground, crying and begging.

The corner of Qin Mubai’s eyes glanced at Steward Lu and helped him up from the ground. “I have my own opinion on this matter. You’ve worked hard all this way. Go down and rest first. Remember, you are not allowed to tell anyone about this matter, including my mother and sister.”

“Yes, yes, the little elder will guard his mouth tightly. I only hope that the third young master will argue and save the two young masters!”

“Let’s go down!”

Housekeeper Lu obediently retreated, but Qin Mubai, who was still furious, suddenly became unusually calm. He closed the door, straightened the tilted table, picked up the teacup on the floor, placed it in a new cup, and then sat alone to meditate.

At this moment, the door was knocked on. It was Chen Yan.

Qin Mubai thought, “Come in!”

Chen Yan came in and closed the door. He looked around and saw that the things on the table were neatly arranged. He pursed his lips and smiled. “You fell something and recovered yourself?”

“Did I scare you?” Qin Mubai smiled.

“Not really.” Chen Yan walked over to sit beside him and poured some tea for him. “Just now, your angry roars were as if you were going to kill someone. You could hear them from a few rooms away. The children were frightened to tears, and the matriarch was frightened. She sent me to ask you what was going on?”

“It’s fine.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “I heard some rumors from Chang’an.”

“Is it related to your big brother?” Chen Yan asked, “I heard the words’ Changsun Wuji ‘. Could it be that Changsun Wuji has done something to your big brother?”

“Sounds like it.” The corners of Qin Mubai’s mouth twitched slightly as he said, “Housekeeper Lu told me that Changsun Wuji has arrested my eldest brother and second brother’s family.”

“What’s the reason?”

“Take them hostage, of course, to prevent me from rebelling.”

“Do you believe it?”

“If I believed him, I wouldn’t be angry.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Such a stupid thing is not something that Eldest Sun Wuji can do.”

Chen Yan smiled. “I knew you wouldn’t be so angry at home for no reason, scaring your family. Did you intentionally vent your anger on butler Lu?”

“That’s right.” Qin Mu’s eyebrows sank as she said, “How can I, someone Qin, be angered by the words of an insignificant man? In the end, I don’t trust this butler Lu at all!”

“But Old Madame and Shuang’er both said that he is indeed the housekeeper of Big Brother’s family?” Chen Yan said, “Besides, he doesn’t look like a cunning person.”

“So what?” Qin Mubai smiled coldly, “Such a servant is too easy to be bribed, betrayed, or cheated!”

“Are you saying that Housekeeper Lu himself might have been tricked?” Chen Yan asked doubtfully.

“Yes.” Qin Mubai nodded, “If I hadn’t thought of this level of innocence, I would have taken him down!”

“You didn’t take him, but you also wanted to capture him, right?” Chen Yan smiled and said, “If he was bribed by someone, then you just happened to be scheming.”

“Smart!” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Yan, you still know me!” Whoever was behind the scenes, this move of his made it unwise. Their intentions were too obvious. They wanted to force me to rebel and have me fight with the Eldest Sun Wuji Ming Saber and Spear to the death. Actually, although Changsun Wuji and I are at odds, he is not stupid. Although he strongly opposed the establishment of King Wu as his reserve, he still had his political bottom line, that is, the rivers and mountains of the Great Tang could not be in chaos, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the emperor and the people of the world. I haven’t done anything out of the ordinary yet. If he took my two elder brothers’ family first, then he would be framing the officials to confuse the court and authoritarianism to curse the kingdom for personal vengeance. Doesn’t that give me the excuse to arise from the Qin King’s side? In this way, he would instead become the source of the world’s turmoil and become the target of public criticism. “Changsun Wuji would never do such a stupid thing!”

“Hearing you say that, it reminds me of the old story of’kiwi and bamboo fighting for profit ‘.” Chen Yan said, “If you are really tricked into fighting against Eldest Sun Wuji, who will benefit from it?”

“I’m not sure yet.” Qin Mu shook her head with a bright light in her eyes, “But I guess it’s very likely that it was the person who ambushed the Prince of Wu halfway!”

Chen Yan frowned. “Wasn’t that what Eldest Sun Wuji and King Wei did to King Wu?”

“I dare say, no.” Qin Mubai shook his head affirmatively. “Although the two of them are the most fearful of King Wu, they happen to dare not act so recklessly.” Because as long as something happened to King Wu, even a street child could associate it with the hands of the two of them. What was the difference between this and stealing the bell from the ear? Neither Eldest Sun Wuji nor King Wei would do such a stupid thing. “At the same time, it is precisely because of this reason that if a third party wants to frame Eldest Sun Wuji and King Wei, they have full motives!”

Chen Yan suddenly realized, “No wonder you said that the black hand behind Housekeeper Lu is the same person who ambushed King Wu! He first framed King Wei and Eldest Sun Wuji, and then instigated you to start a war with them. The two things have the same goal, that is, to fight against each other!”

The corners of Qin Mubai’s mouth twitched and he smiled meaningfully, “If it wasn’t unexpected, not only would Eldest Sun Wuji not act rashly towards my two eldest brothers, he would also try his best to stabilize them and protect them.” How could someone like me, Qin, be fooled by such monstrous words and fall into such a low-level scheme? Unfortunately, that black-handed gentleman has seriously underestimated the intelligence quotient of me, Eldest Sun Wuji, and the others. He probably thought that everyone in this world was as simple-minded as him! ”

Chen Yan shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly, “Yes, you and Eldest Sun Wuji have already cultivated to become demons and are invulnerable to all kinds of poisons! … You people, hey! You’ve been fighting for power all day and cheating me. Aren’t you tired?”

“Tired, really tired.” Qin Mubai let out a long sigh and said, “Yan, I’ll retire when the matter is settled.”

Chen Yan’s expression changed slightly. A trace of joy leapt up from her brows and she smiled. “Are you trying to comfort me?”

“No.” Qin Mubai held his hand and said, “Do you remember what I told you?” One day, I, Qin Mubai, will return to my original position and become myself. At that time, our family will be truly happy and carefree. Yan, for so many years, only you have followed me without any regrets. Whether it’s Jing Tao or the husband or the godson, you are standing behind me silently. No matter what I do, you have never complained at all. You will only silently support me, help me, and pay for me without reservation. I’m grateful to you, but I’m also very guilty. I have neglected many of the most important things in my life in my quest for fame and wealth. Now, I’ve finally come to a realization and decided to go back to basics! And you’re still by my side … That’s good! ”

Chen Yan smiled and gently nodded her head. She pulled her hand back and stood up. “I’m going to reply to Old Madame. To prevent her from worrying, I’ll say something else. Remember that it’s important for you to keep your mouth shut. Don’t frighten the family.”

“You still call me Old Madame?” After Qin Mubai finished speaking, she immediately realized that I had never had a wedding with Chen Yan!

He was instantly ashamed!

Qin Mubai hesitated for a moment and acted like a shy little boy in front of Chen Yan for the first time. He scratched his cheek and smiled, “Yan, the Governor’s Mansion will hold a celebration banquet in a few days. At that time, there will definitely be full of guests and friends. How about we hold our wedding ceremony that day?”

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, then she turned around and smiled, “Silly!”
