Chapter 481 Deliberate

"You, why are you so stupid!" Qin Shu gently poked Helian Shi's forehead, with a bit of anger and intimacy, "After I deal with Xiaowu's affairs, I will go back with you to see my parents, okay?"

Hearing Qin Shu naturally call his parents "father and mother", Helian Shi's face flushed slightly, but he couldn't suppress his joy in his heart. This is not only a recognition of him, but also an expectation for their future life together.

Helian Shi took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement, and then heard Qin Shu say, "You are right. Since we are about to get married, I should call my parents back from their hometown. Let them witness our wedding with their own eyes. This is of great significance to them and to us."

Although Helian Shi tried to remain calm, Qin Shu still caught a glimpse of excitement in his eyes. This heartfelt joy and expectation made Qin Shu's heart surge with warmth.

She sighed silently in her heart that she had been busy with various affairs over the years and ignored Helian Shi's deep affection for her. Now that she thinks about it, she didn't realize earlier that this man would spend the rest of her life with her. It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel guilty.

But Qin Shu is a pragmatic and optimistic person. She will not indulge in past mistakes and regrets.

She firmly believes that what is important is the present and the future, and every day they will work together in the future. So, she raised the corners of her mouth and gave Helian Shi a warm smile, as if telling him that the past is the past, and our future has just begun.

Since there is still plenty of time to set things right, to correct past mistakes, and since there is still a chance to pursue and enjoy the happiness and warmth of life, then, precious time must not be wasted on meaningless self-pity.

So Qin Shu immediately wrote a letter in the study and went to find Xiaowu and the others first.

At this moment, Xiaosi and Xiaowu had just returned to the mansion, and it was time to chat with their brothers and sisters. At this time, Xiaowu's yard was bustling with people sitting around, sharing their experiences and interesting stories.

In their yard, laughter and joy were heard one after another, full of the warmth and harmony of home. This joyful atmosphere made Qin Shu forget the tension and complexity of the outside world the moment she stepped into the yard. As

soon as Qin Shu came in, Xiaosi and Xiaowu immediately came up to her, and with curiosity on their faces, they pulled her aside to ask about Helian Shi's recent situation. They were obviously full of curiosity and concern for this future new father.

Seeing the two people's high interest, Qin Shu pretended to be angry and glared at them, pretending to turn her head away, "Okay, haven't you joked enough this morning? If you keep talking nonsense, be careful that your mother will really give you a good meal of stir-fried pork on a bamboo board!"

Hearing Qin Shu's "warning", Xiao Si and Xiao Wu smiled at each other and shut up awkwardly. They knew that although Qin Shu was joking, her determination and attitude were firm. So, the two of them tactfully changed the topic and started talking about other things.

Qin Shu's eyes quickly swept behind them, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. She seemed to be looking for a familiar figure, but she didn't find any trace of that person.

Xiao Si keenly captured the change in Qin Shu's expression, as if he saw through her thoughts, and took the initiative to explain.

"Mother, are you looking for Lin Qingye? For some reason, she is unwilling to come to the Qin Mansion with us, and just told us to go to the guest house to find her if we have any problems."

Qin Shu heard this and suddenly realized it. She did not ask how Xiao Si knew what she was thinking, but just nodded silently to show her understanding. Her eyes swept through the crowd again, and finally stopped at the second child.

The second child was standing aside in a daze, with a thoughtful light in his eyes. Qin Shu's heart moved, and she secretly guessed that he might have asked the fourth child the same question.

Qin Shu's guess was indeed correct. The second child had indeed asked the fourth child about Lin Qingye's situation before, and got the same answer as the fourth child. However, this result caused ripples in the second child's heart.

He began to think about the reason why Lin Qingye refused to come to the Qin Mansion. Was it because she felt uncomfortable in the Qin Mansion, or was it because the presence of someone in the Qin Mansion made her feel embarrassed or uneasy?

The second brother thought of himself, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. He was not sure about his position in Lin Qingye's heart, nor did he know how to deal with this complicated emotional entanglement.

The second brother wondered in his heart, if Lin Qingye really didn't want to see him, how should he deal with it? Should he respect her choice and retreat silently, or insist on meeting her and try to resolve the misunderstanding between each other? At the same time, he began to think again, is Lin Qingye still looking forward to his answer now? Does she still need his explanation and promise like before?

The second brother's mood was extremely complicated, and various thoughts intertwined and collided in his mind, like a battle between heaven and man. He felt a little hesitant. He wanted to find Lin Qingye, but he was afraid that his appearance would cause trouble to her.

However, while he was lost in thought, Qin Shu had already begun to discuss with everyone how to treat the emperor. Everyone sat together and expressed their opinions, but no one bothered the second brother who was still in a trance.

In their opinion, although the second brother had extraordinary talents in martial arts and fighting, he seemed a little stretched in terms of schemes and strategies, and was not even as practical as Xiao Xixi.

The second brother did not realize that he had been secretly disliked by everyone. He was still immersed in his own world, and his mood became more and more depressed.

At this time, Qin Shu turned to Xiao Wu, and the expression on her face became serious. She looked directly into Xiao Wu's eyes and spoke slowly.

"Xiao Wu, you should already know the purpose of calling you back this time."

Xiao Wu nodded solemnly, indicating that he had understood the mission and responsibility this time. He knew that this time, treating the emperor was a very important matter, and any negligence could lead to serious consequences. Therefore, he must go all out to ensure that there are no mistakes.

Although Qin Shu's letter was a bit vague and did not directly point out all the details, Xiao Wu has always been very smart. He has already seen through Qin Shu's concerns and intentions based on just a few words in the letter.

His expression gradually became solemn, and he obviously realized the seriousness of this incident. "And this time, it's even more difficult than the previous plague. During the plague, we hadn't found clear evidence that someone was deliberately targeting the emperor, but this time, all signs indicate that someone was going directly for the emperor."
