A few days later, the results of the provincial examination came out, and Tang Yihai ranked second.
That day, Tang Yihai just walked out of the room and saw the boy squatting in front of his door.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the boy immediately stood up and turned to look at him.
"What's wrong?" Seeing the hesitation on the boy's face, Tang Yihai asked curiously.
"You...are you leaving?" Qin Ran stammered, with a knotted look on his face.
"Yes... we will be back in the afternoon." Tang Yihai nodded.
Qin Ran couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she didn't see any reluctance on Tang Yihai's face. "Oh... then I wish you a safe journey."
After saying that, Qin Ran turned around and left. Tang Yihai opened his mouth to speak but stopped himself. In the end, he could only stand there and watch him walk away.
After standing there for who knows how long, Tang Yihai finally reacted. When he turned around, he saw his father standing not far away.
Why did his father just stand there and look at him? He didn't know how long he had been looking at him.
"Father..."
"I heard that the young man from the Qin family will be discussing marriage in a few days."
The Qin family has three children. One has married and has children, and there is a daughter. The youngest brother of the Qin family refers to Qin Ran.
"Is... is that so?" Tang Yihai pulled the corner of his mouth, his expression a little unnatural.
"I'll be back in the afternoon. Have you packed your things?" Tang Ming'an asked.
"Hmm..." Tang Ming'an nodded absentmindedly, "I just haven't bought the things I promised to bring to Sanfeng yet..."
"Then let's postpone it for one day." After saying that, Tang Mingan left.
Although his father said so, Tang Yihai's mood was not much better.
What could he do in one day? Could he prevent the young man from getting married?
However, not long after he went out in the afternoon, Tang Yihai suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Before he turned around, Tang Yihai felt a pain in his neck and lost consciousness the next second.
Before he lost consciousness, Tang Yihai thought to himself that someone really had his sights set on him.
Tang Yihai was awakened by the heat. He was still a little dizzy when he woke up. There was a fire burning in his body but he had no way to vent it and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Soon, he knew what was happening to his body.
As for Tang Mingan, Tang Yihai was discovered not long after the accident.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Tang Ming'an's face turned cold. He ordered people to go out and look for him, and then left in a hurry.
The emperor is bedridden and is now awake less and less, which means the fight for the throne between the third and sixth princes is getting more intense.
Now it has been exaggerated to the point of assassination and poisoning.
At this time, Tang Yihai got into trouble not only because of the reborn girl's action, but also because of the instigation of many parties.
They were waiting for news at home, and seeing that no one had returned several days after the results of the provincial examination came out, Tang Erhai and Tang Sanfeng thought about it and felt that something had happened.
The two of them waited and waited, but there was no news of any scientific fraud or the like, so they felt a little relieved.
At this time, the two could only pray secretly, perhaps their father and elder brother were just delayed by something.
Unexpectedly, I was delayed by an important matter.
After hearing what a guard beside his father said, Tang Sanfeng's eyes widened, "You said... my eldest brother is getting married?!"
Tang Sanfeng thought he must have been hallucinating. Didn’t his elder brother go to take part in the provincial examination?
What happened? After winning the lottery, you also solved your marriage problem?
Besides, it seems that my eldest brother is not old enough to get married yet?
Well, in ancient times, there were indeed many people who got married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and there was indeed no set age limit for getting married.
While others may get married at a young age, their eldest brother definitely cannot!
"Yes, the general also asked his subordinates to pick up the general's wife, the young master and the young ladies." said the guard.
"Okay..."
Tang Erhai asked the guards to go back first and come back in the afternoon.
Watching the guards leave, Tang Sanfeng's face was solemn, "Brother, it's impossible for you to get married so hastily. Something must have happened."
"It's no use saying this now. We can only go over and see what's going on." Tang Erhai sighed.
The two of them told their father-in-law about this matter. As the journey was too far, Tang Sanfeng did not suggest that his uncle's family and his aunt's family go with them.
In the end, only Ye Qingyu and his three children went to the provincial capital.
Although there were many guards following and protecting him along the way, Tang Sanfeng's heart was still in his throat, fearing that something unexpected might happen on the road.
I didn't breathe a sigh of relief until I reached my destination.
As soon as the carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted. I looked closely and saw that it was my father.
Tang Mingan, who came over to wait after receiving the news, saw the carriage approaching from a distance and it soon arrived in front of him.
Tang Mingan took a few steps forward, opened the curtain, and carried her husband out of the carriage.
"Are you okay?"
"Nothing," Ye Qingyu smiled and shook her head, "By the way, what's the matter with Yi Hai's marriage?"
"It's a long story. I'll talk to you again when we get back."
Tang Sanfeng, who had just got off the carriage, looked up and saw his father holding his mother and leaving, completely forgetting that his three children were in the carriage.
Okay, she's used to it.
Because of Tang Yihai's marriage, Tang Mingan bought a house here.
After the two siblings went in, they went straight to their eldest brother's yard.
When the two arrived, they saw their eldest brother sitting in a seat with a book in one hand, staring blankly, without blinking for a long time.
"Brother!" Tang Sanfeng called the man back to his senses.
"Ah? Ah..." After being called out like that, Tang Yihai finally came back to his senses, "It's my second brother and third sister. They're here so soon."
"Brother, what were you thinking about just now that made you so engrossed?" Tang Sanfeng sat down and asked curiously. Tang Erhai also found a seat and sat down.
"...I was thinking about something." Tang Yihai smiled but didn't say anything.
"Did something happen...about my eldest brother's marriage?" Tang Sanfeng hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
Tang Erhai, who was sitting next to him, also had some curiosity in his eyes.
"This..." Seeing the looks they gave him, Tang Yihai didn't know what to say for a moment.
The atmosphere was silent for a long time. Just when Tang Sanfeng was about to change the subject, Tang Yihai spoke up.
On the day he was kidnapped, Tang Yihai woke up feeling very hot, as if his body was being burned by an evil fire.
Just then the door was opened, and Tang Yihai vaguely heard the voices of a man and a woman, and soon the smell of rouge was getting closer.
At this point, even if he hadn't experienced it, he would understand.
However, it was of no use for him to realize this, as he had already started to lose consciousness after taking the Chinese medicine.
Tang Yihai felt that several buttons of his clothes were undone. Before he could feel disgusted, he suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.
Then came a familiar breath, and then, nothing happened.
When Tang Yihai regained consciousness, he had done everything he should and shouldn't have done. Qin Ran, who was lying under him, was already completely naked and covered in bruises.
Is there anything he doesn't understand?!
Although Tang Yihai didn't want the boy to get married with someone else, he also didn't want to stop him in this way.
Ignoring the matter between him and Qin Ran, Tang Yihai told her about this matter and his guess.
After listening, Tang Sanfeng was most concerned not about the kidnapping itself, but about the matter between his eldest brother and the little brother named Qin Sheng.
"Then, big brother, are you and my future brother-in-law in love with each other? If so, there is no need to be so entangled."
"We do like each other, but..."
During those days of getting along, Tang Yihai could feel that the boy had some feelings for him.
It's just that he had too many concerns. If it weren't for this kidnapping accident, Tang Yihai felt that he and he were not destined to be together.
After listening to his elder brother's complaint, Tang Sanfeng felt helpless.
Simply put, Tang Yihai's concerns include age and the crisis of the Tang and Ye families that they have not yet resolved.
There is also a time pressure.
But think about it, although Tang Yihai looks like a teenager, it is normal for him to have too many concerns due to his mental maturity.
"Aren't you going to get married in half a month? Why do you still look so worried?" Tang Sanfeng asked puzzled.
After the news came back that their eldest brother had passed the imperial examination, they waited for half a month only to receive news that his eldest brother was getting married, so they spent a few more days rushing over from Tangjia Village.
Now there is only half a month left until their wedding, what is eldest brother worried about?
"It's just... I haven't met him since that day, and I'm a little worried." Tang Yihai sighed.
I was even more worried about whether he would have any crazy thoughts.
In the end, Tang Sanfeng took over the important task and went to the Qin Mansion with his father to visit and check the situation.
Arriving at Qin's residence, Tang Sanfeng sat aside and listened to them chatting for a while, then found an excuse to leave.
After coming out, Tang Sanfeng randomly found a servant to ask for directions.
After Tang Sanfeng took the wrong road several times and asked three or four people, he finally found the future brother described by his eldest brother.
"Whose child are you from? Can't find your way?"
When Qin Ran came to her senses, she saw a girl of about twelve or thirteen walking towards her.
"No, I came here specifically to see you." Tang Sanfeng tilted her head and smiled at him, "My name is Tang Sanfeng, and I'm Tang Yihai's sister."
After hearing the girl's last words, Qin Ran suddenly became nervous for some reason, "Hello... Hello, I am..."
Qin Ran stammered for a long time and couldn't utter a word.
"I know you are my future brother-in-law."
The two chatted for a while. At first, it was Tang Sanfeng who was looking for topics to talk about. Later, when the two became familiar with each other, she was the one listening to Qin Sheng's endless chatter. She could only respond and couldn't get a word in.
It's exactly the same as what my eldest brother said, he's simply playful and lively.
I have to add that I'm a bit of a chatterbox.
But my brother hasn't mentioned it to her, so she probably doesn't know yet. After all, people usually pay attention to their image in front of someone they like, and may even be a little reserved.
Of course, she had no idea whether her future brother-in-law would be reserved in front of her eldest brother.
The two chatted for a long time until the servants came to find Tang Sanfeng, who then realized that she should go back.
They had finished talking about everything they needed to talk about. Seeing that Qin Ran had changed from being worried to being happy, Tang Sanfeng said goodbye to him and left.
Before leaving, Tang Sanfeng winked at him and said, "My eldest brother is a bit sullen, but it can be seen that he likes you very much."
By the time she understood what she meant, the person had already walked far away, and Qin Ran went back with red ears.
Half a month later, Tang Yihai's wedding came as scheduled.
Within a few days, the news that the emperor had passed away and passed the throne to the sixth prince spread throughout Longrui Kingdom.
However, no one expected that the third prince, who had failed in his bid for the throne, would actually team up with the prime minister to launch a palace coup. The people only heard the news when they woke up the next day.
Fortunately, the Sixth Prince suppressed the situation with force.
The third prince was sent to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb of the previous emperor, and the prime minister and all the people in the prime minister's office were demoted to commoners and exiled to poor areas.
The Huai'an Prince's Palace, which was originally related to the Prime Minister's Palace by marriage, was also greatly affected and began to keep a low profile and reduce its presence.
After hearing the news, the three siblings of the Tang family were delighted. Now only the Huai'an Palace was left.
But it doesn't matter, it won't take long to destroy it anyway.
The author has something to say: The next chapter will solve the problems of Huai'an Palace and the reborn girl.
