Chapter 242 Past Events

Even Qin Shu, who knew Helian Shi's intentions early on, was very surprised.

Although she knew that Helian Shi had decided to marry into the family and not have children, she didn't expect him to say it directly in public.

You know, Helian Shi is risking his reputation by doing this, and maybe someone will use this to attack him behind his back in the future.

Qin Shu was lying when she said she was moved. She did feel Helian Shi's determination, and she didn't expect Helian Shi to do so for her, but...

Qin Shu sighed. If it wasn't necessary, she really didn't want to hurt others' hearts.

As if he was involved by Helian Shi, Fu Yan spoke soon after Helian Shi finished speaking.

"If... I can marry and don't want offspring, can you give me a chance to participate in the martial arts competition to find a wife?"

Fu Yan's words were pleading, as if he really hoped that Qin Shu would give him a chance.

Qin Shu was a little surprised and looked into his eyes. Many pictures seemed to flash before her eyes, and finally they all converged into the back of the young man leaving.

The voices around were not small. Some people were exclaiming that Fu Yan could actually give in, and some people were sighing at Qin Shu's good luck.

"No wonder General Fu Yan and General Helian have not gotten married. Could it be that they have been waiting for Master Qin?"

"General Helian doesn't seem to have much in common with Master Qin? As for General Fu Yan... it seems like he has known Master Qin for a long time?"

"Yes, that's right. I know this too. It seems that more than ten years ago, Master Qin and General Fu Yan had a very good relationship. But for some reason, General Fu Yan left the capital alone. After leaving the capital for several years, he finally returned as a god of war."

"Yes, General Fu Yan didn't seem to be a military general originally. Why did he go to war?"

Qin Shu laughed sarcastically as she listened to other people's speculations.

"General Fu, there is no if. How could you not need to carry on the family line and have offspring?"

The memory went back to many years ago, when the two were childhood sweethearts.

Qin Shu has been a very independent child since she was young, and the old master Qin did not restrain her, but let her grow up on her own.

So Qin Shu was different from other young ladies from aristocratic families since she was very young. When other young ladies were studying, she ordered the servants to accompany her to dig bird holes.

When others were reciting poems in the school, she suddenly started a business in the school, and she was doing it vigorously.

Fu Yan was attracted to her. When Qin Shu got into trouble when she was a child, Fu Yan helped her cover it up. Qin Shu would occasionally pull Fu Yan to do bad things together, and Fu Yan would accompany her to do it.

As the two grew up, the childhood "comradeship" gradually turned into the innocent friendship of young girls and the scheming of young boys.

The two got together like this, without telling anyone, not even the princess.

But the good times didn't last long, and the Qin family would soon recruit a husband for Qin Shu.

The old patriarch of the Qin family was very clear that the Qin family only had this one son, and Qin Shu's husband must marry into the Qin Mansion.

And Fu Yan's family only had two brothers, Fu Yan and Fu Qian. Fu Qian had already married into the Princess's mansion as a son-in-law, and the Fu family absolutely did not agree to Fu Yan marrying into the Qin family again.

This was something that could not be helped, and there might be a better way to deal with it, but the two were young and could not face such a dilemma, so they separated hastily.

As for later, Qin Shu and Fu Yan were still in love, but since they were destined not to be together, Fu Yan went to guard the border sadly.

Qin Shu followed the arrangement of her family and married Zhou Yiyang, but Fu Yan has not married yet, and he still can't forget Qin Shu.

As for this time he came back so decisively, it was because Fu Yan had already negotiated with his family and could enter the Qin Mansion, but he didn't expect Qin Shu no longer wanted children.

On the stage of the martial arts competition, Helian Shi said so again, and Fu Yan didn't know what to say, as if he was very powerless to say anything.

Qin Shu saw Fu Yan was stunned, put away the emotions in her eyes, and turned to Qin Qixuan to give instructions.

"Today's martial arts competition for a bride didn't turn out to be fruitless. Just treat it as a day of show for everyone. Qixuan, go book Zuiyuexuan. Today, my Qin family will treat everyone who has time to a good meal."

As soon as Qin Shu said this, the audience who had been complaining that they didn't see two generals fighting stopped complaining. Some even shouted happily, praising the generosity of the Qin family.

Qin Qixuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the situation was easily controlled by Qin Shu.

He was a little worried that if the Qin family's martial arts competition for a bride didn't turn out well, people would gossip about it.

But facts have proved that problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

The Qin family spent a fortune to treat everyone present to a meal. After the meal, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they would be grateful to the Qin family.

Qin Qixuan took the order and arranged for everyone to go to dinner together.

Xiao Xixi was taken to play by the little grandson in the afternoon. She was a little tired at this time and didn't want to move in Qin Shu's bed.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shu handed Xiao Xixi to Qin Qixuan.

"Let Xiao Xixi eat some meat today. After all, she hasn't eaten anything good for so long."

Qin Xixi's eyes lit up when she heard this, but before she could be happy, she saw the tiredness in the corners of Qin Shu's eyes.

Xiao Xixi couldn't help but immediately put aside her desire to eat meat and was a little worried about her mother.

[Wow, mother looks so tired, and seems to be in a bad mood, what's wrong? ]

Is it because she didn't choose a suitable husband today? But mother shouldn't be so eager to get married, at least she wouldn't be so tired because of this.

Before Xiao Xixi could think clearly, Qin Shu gave Qin Qixuan instructions and turned around and left alone.

Qin Xixi was a little anxious when she saw this, and she struggled to jump out of Qin Qixuan's arms and followed Qin Shu step by step.

Qin Qixuan also saw that his mother was in a bad mood, so he didn't hold Xiao Xixi. After all, mother would be happier to see Xiao Xixi.

"All guests who have received souvenirs from our Qin family can sit in Zuiyuexuan and enjoy the banquet! Thank you all for your support of the Qin family."

Qin Qixuan stayed here to entertain the guests, while the third brother went to negotiate with Zuiyuexuan.

The capital was bustling with activity, but some people did not follow the main force, but quietly headed towards the palace.

"I am a relative of Concubine An. This is a token given by His Majesty. His Majesty has granted us two special permission to enter the palace to accompany Concubine An."

An Yuesheng stood at the palace gate with his sister, with a smile on his face.
