Chapter 73 Storm Rising

Yu Shuangcheng had no idea what Chu Yian was thinking. He only felt relieved when he heard Chu Yian say that he didn't want to do that kind of thing for the time being.

It’s better not to think about it. If you really do it without thinking, he won’t be able to explain it to Chu Yian, and he won’t be able to explain it to himself either.

However, Yu Shuangcheng still had no idea how to better win over Chu Yian's heart.

Seeing Chu Yian's expression, it seemed that he didn't want to talk anymore, so he found an excuse and left and returned to the side yard.

It’s a good time to think about it carefully at night.

After seeing Yu Shuangcheng off, Chu Yian took his things and went back to his room to sleep.

After being tormented by Yu Shuangcheng, seriously, even in her dreams, she saw this guy pestering her and acting cute and calling her sister. The contrast was simply extreme.

Chu Yian almost couldn't resist and pounced on him.

Just as she was about to pounce, her body was suddenly shaken violently and she was woken up by Xiao Fu.

Chu Yian: ...

When he opened his eyes and met Xiaofu's clear yet somewhat foolish eyes, Chu Yian had no place to vent his anger.

I could only grit my teeth and ask, “What?”

Hearing that her young lady was in a bad mood again, Xiao Fu smiled foolishly and said, "Young lady, it's time to get up. Aren't we going to play with Miss Sheng today? I'm afraid it would be bad if we were late, and it would be a bit rude."

After all, you are going to someone else's house. What's the point of making the host wait?

Chu Yian sat up upon hearing this and glanced outside. It was already dawn.

She subconsciously looked at Qin Sheng's soft couch. The bedding was neatly folded and he was indeed not there.

Chu Yian pursed his lips, looked at Xiaofu and asked, "Have you seen Qin Sheng?"

Xiao Fu shook her head: "I didn't see him, and he wasn't practicing martial arts in the yard. He must be busy with other things."

Chu Yian frowned. He didn't come back for another night?

It was the same yesterday. Is something really going to happen?

She got up, washed, dressed, and went straight to the main courtyard. By then, all the Qin family members were there, except Qin Sheng.

She was the last to arrive.

Chu Yian looked at Qin Huaishu, and when his gaze met hers, Qin Huaishu nodded slightly as a greeting.

Just as she was about to ask him where Qin Sheng had gone, before she could open her mouth, Tao stood up and came over to hold her hand.

Tao's smile was very gentle. She touched Chu Yian's hand, which felt a little cold, and rubbed it for her: "Why are your hands so cold? Did you catch a cold?"

Chu Yian hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, mother, you don't have to worry."

Mrs. Tao felt a little relieved, but she still reminded him, "If there's anything missing, just ask someone to buy it for you. Don't be embarrassed. By the way, are you going to visit Miss Sheng at the Sheng's house later?"

Chu Yian nodded, and at this moment he finally felt a little embarrassed.

What bride doesn't help manage the inner household affairs and socialize after marrying into her husband's family? Or perhaps she serves her mother-in-law, who also has a chance to set the rules.

She is the only one who runs around outside every day and never asks about the affairs of the inner house. If you really think about it, this behavior is indeed not very appropriate.

But Tao never said a bad word about her, nor did she blame her.

Hearing her say that, he asked with concern: "Have you thought about what gift to give? It wouldn't be nice to go to her empty-handed."

Chu Yian nodded and told about the gift he had prepared.

Tao thought for a moment, then looked at her personal maid, Yuzhu, who was standing beside her. She asked, "I remember Madam Sheng loved poetry when she was young. Is that wrong?"

Yuzhu shook her head: "No, Madam remembers it exactly."

Tao: "I have a collection of poems that I treasure. Please bring it to Yi An later."

Then she looked at Chu Yian again: "I see that you are very close to the girl from the Sheng family, so your relationship must be quite good. Since this is the first time you are giving a gift to an elder in her family, it would be a good idea to give her something that suits her heart."

Chu Yian's eyes lit up when she heard what Mrs. Tao said, and she nodded repeatedly: "Mother, I'm also worried about what Madam Sheng likes."

When asked, Sheng Nianyao didn't know either, so Chu Yian could only choose for himself.

I didn’t expect that Tao actually knew about it.

Tao touched her head and saw that Chu Yian liked her more and more. After pulling her to sit down, Qin Xinghuai said, "Let's eat," and everyone started to eat.

Except for Qin Rang, the men in the Qin family were busy after dinner, so they naturally ate faster.

Chu Yian was thinking about Qin Sheng. When she saw Qin Huaishu put down his chopsticks, said he had finished eating and left, she also hurriedly put down her chopsticks, stood up and chased after him.

After passing through the archway of the courtyard, Chu Yian hurriedly called him: "Brother, wait a minute."

Qin Huaishu stopped and turned around. When he saw that the person coming was Chu Yian, he knew what she wanted to ask.

He smiled gently and asked, "My sister-in-law called me, but did you want to ask about my third brother?"

Chu Yian nodded quickly and stopped three steps away from Qin Huaishu: "Brother called Qin Sheng away last night, and he hasn't come back yet. I, I'm a little worried."

Qin Huaishu understood and explained, "Something happened last night. He left the city. I estimate he will be back this afternoon. Don't worry, sister-in-law."

After receiving Qin Huaishu's approval, Chu Yian's heart finally relaxed a little. She knelt slightly and said, "Thank you, big brother. I will not disturb you if you are busy."

Qin Huaishu thought about it and realized that Chu Yian was still young and had just married Qin Sheng, so it was inevitable that she felt insecure.

Then he added, "Third brother will be very busy in the future. If your sister-in-law is worried or wants to know about him, just send someone to ask me. Don't worry about causing me trouble."

There are some things that are not convenient to tell Chu Yian, Qin Sheng doesn't like to let Chu Yian worry too much, and Qin Huaishu is not in a position to say too much.

Outsiders only think that Qin Sheng is a playboy and does absurd things, but Qin Sheng was almost raised by Qin Huaishu. How could he really not know what his brother is like?

Qin Sheng sacrificed himself for the Qin family and put himself into the scheme. Qin Huaishu really didn't want Chu Yian to misunderstand him again.

However, looking at Chu Yian's eyes, Qin Huaishu could tell that she was just worried about Qin Sheng's safety, and didn't seem to be worried that he would do something wrong.

Qin Huaishu felt a little relieved. After greeting Chu Yian, he turned around and left the Qin family.

He walked very fast, and looking at the flat road in front of him, Qin Huaishu felt that it was covered with thorns.

Whether it is Qin Huaishu or Qin Sheng, they are all looking for a way out for the Qin family.

But the situation is still not optimistic.

Thinking of what happened in the past two days, Qin Huaishu felt increasingly heavy-hearted, and his usually gentle eyes were unconsciously filled with a frightening cold light.

After today, it will be difficult for the Shangshu You Pushe to keep his current position.

This person has retired and the position has become vacant. There are three people most likely to be promoted.

Qin Huaishu silently repeated the names of the three people in his mind, thought for a moment, and then added another person after the three.

Four people...

He looked up at the sky. The weather was not very good today. There was no sun and it was gloomy. He didn't know if it would rain.

Among these four people, who will the emperor choose?
