"Chengdu is roaring! Don't you people from the Right Prime Minister's residence have any bottom line?!"

In the dead of night, Zhou Nuo took the initiative to leave Wang Yucen and Zhao Cheng alone in the room...

That's not fair!

Zhou Nuo was the first female instructor of the Great Jing Dynasty. Du Yucheng knew that she was skilled in archery and had keen senses. When she walked out, he held his breath and dared not make a sound.

Only after Zhou Nuo left did Du Yucheng take a deep breath, his questions growing ever more numerous.

Zhou Nuo...is gone?

Du Yucheng started rubbing his hands together again, circling the big tree in thought. Just as he was considering whether to rush in and find out what was going on, Zhou Nuo returned.

Du urged Chengdu to hide quickly, noticing that Zhou Nuo was followed by another person.

It's a man.

To be precise, it's a boy.

Du Yucheng looked closely and recognized the boy; he was Zhao Zhan, the fourth son of the Right Prime Minister's residence.

Why did Zhou Nuo bring him here?

Du Yucheng was filled with doubts as he watched Zhou Nuo lead Zhao Zhan into the room.

Inside the room.

Zhao Cheng finished the soup Wang Yucen had made, patted his belly, and said contentedly, "I never imagined that Sister Yucen had such good cooking skills."

Wang Yucen said with satisfaction, "Before Father was transferred to Changsui, there were very few servants in the family. Sometimes Mother would go to the kitchen to cook, and I would follow behind Mother to help."

Zhao Cheng praised, "After drinking this hangover soup, I feel like my soul has returned."

Wang Yucen asked doubtfully, "Is it really that delicious?"

Zhao Cheng said, "I never deceive young girls."

Wang Yucen laughed heartily.

At that moment, the door opened, and Zhou Nuo and Zhao Zhan entered.

"Big Brother!" Zhao Zhan walked up to Zhao Cheng and greeted him respectfully.

"Sit down." Zhao Cheng's attitude towards Zhao Zhan was also very serious.

After Zhao Zhan sat down, Zhou Nuo also sat down next to Zhao Cheng, and the four of them sat around a table eating snacks and drinking tea.

Zhao Cheng asked, "Fourth brother, I heard that you angered Father when I was suffering in the Southern Zhou army camp?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Nuo secretly rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "You call your time in the Southern Zhou army camp suffering?"

I'm the one who's really suffering, okay?!

“Yes.” Zhao Zhan nodded.

Do you realize you were wrong?

Zhao Zhan pursed his lips, remaining silent.

"Looks like you're still not convinced. As far as I know, if it weren't for the wedding banquet at home, you'd still be locked up by Dad." Zhao Cheng glared at Zhao Zhan and said, "This is the first time Dad has ever been so angry with us brothers since we were kids!"

Zhao Zhan then said, "But I really don't think I did anything wrong! I was in such a hurry to save my brother that I blurted out the wrong thing!"

Zhao Cheng said, "Why would you say something wrong if you spoke too quickly? It's because that's what you've always thought, and that's why you blurted it out in your haste!"

Zhao Zhan argued, "It's just at home, what can't be said!"

"Yeah?"

Zhao Cheng gave a cold laugh, tapped on the table, and said, "Fourth brother, we're at home now, right? But believe it or not, outsiders can hear what you're saying right now."

Zhao Zhan looked at Wang Yucen.

“Yu Cen is not an outsider, I didn’t mention her.”

Hearing this, Wang Yucen felt a warmth in her heart, her little hands fluttering between her legs, her heart pounding.

Zhou Nuo got up, took down the bow hanging on the wall, strung it, and suddenly shot an arrow at the window.

The arrow pierced through the window and struck a tree.

"Ah!" came a gasp from outside the door.

Zhao Zhan quickly opened the window and looked out, seeing a dark figure leaving from behind the tree.

"There really is someone!" Zhao Zhan exclaimed in surprise.

Zhao Cheng said, "Now you know what it means to have ears on the other side of the wall, right?"

Zhao Zhan returned and sat down dejectedly.

"Sometimes even home isn't safe, so you must be careful what you say in the future, remember?"

“I’ve got it, brother.”

"Don't blame your father. He's been cautious his whole life and can't stand people who speak without thinking."

"I'll listen to my older brother, I'll never dare to do it again."

"Um……"

Zhao Cheng's expression softened, and he handed a pastry to Zhao Zhan and Wang Yucen respectively, saying, "You've met Sister Yucen before. You two are about the same age, so you should visit each other more often in the future."

Zhao Zhan seemed to understand Zhao Cheng's meaning. Being young, he lowered his head shyly.

Wang Yucen also realized something and was momentarily lost in thought.

Noticing Wang Yucen's expression, Zhao Cheng pressed on, saying, "Sister Yucen, since you call me brother, I will always be your good brother. You know, in our family, besides my adopted daughter, there are only four of us brothers. I've always dreamed of having a sister."

"It's a pity and a shame that your eldest brother, Wang Yufeng, was misled by Southern Zhou spies, but the past cannot be changed, and we must all look forward. From now on, besides Wang Yuluan, you also have me, and your second and third brothers; we are all your brothers." Qianqian Xiaoshan

"Yu Cen, do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Yucen understood, of course. There was some sadness, some emotion, but more than anything, there was peace of mind.

She liked Zhao Cheng very much and made no attempt to hide her feelings.

She thought it was love between a man and a woman, and even tried to confess her feelings when she was older.

But when Zhao Cheng brought it up, she realized that she might have been wrong.

My love for Zhao Cheng is not entirely romantic; what I want is the warmth of being with Zhao Cheng!

Just think, if I could really spend my whole life with Brother Zhao Cheng as his brother and sister, that would be such a happy thing!

Wang Yucen nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "Brother Zhao Cheng, I understand!"

"That's good!" Zhao Cheng patted Wang Yucen's head and smiled, "Fourth brother is handsome. People outside are saying he's the most handsome man in Yanchuan City. Do you think he's good-looking?"
