Jun Yuchen, who had come out for some fresh air, felt his heart skip a beat when he saw his younger brother standing not far away. He quickly went over and pulled him to a corner.
"How did you get here? Do you know what will happen if you're discovered?"
Jun Muchen glanced at his older brother indifferently. Jun Yuchen looked at his younger brother's expressionless face and felt a sense of wanting to get angry but being unable to.
“I’m currently very popular, and many people recognize me. If you come out like this, people will notice you.”
"Anyway, everyone will mistake me for you, right?" Jun Muchen said calmly again.
That makes sense. My memories are not shared with his; my brother doesn't know what happened between me and others.
It would be easy to reveal the fact that they are not the same person if they talked.
"Amu, I know you don't want to be imprisoned, but I'm already an official in the court. If we're exposed, you'll be in danger, you know?"
If their relationship were exposed, the father's actions might not be as simple as just sending Amu away.
He genuinely didn't want his younger brother to be in danger.
If he had known that his father would force him to become an official in the imperial court, he certainly wouldn't have shown his talent.
When he has nothing to do, he likes to read books and write poetry.
It wasn't until one day his own situation came to light on his father's desk, and his father then gave him a science exam, that he realized something was wrong.
He was naturally unwilling at first, and asked his father what would happen to his younger brother if he really passed the exam.
The father simply told him to stay home as much as possible.
They had always shared an identity and taken turns going out. If he were to actually become an official in the court, his younger brother would definitely have much less freedom.
So of course he was unwilling.
But his father said that if he didn't study hard for the imperial examinations, he would send his younger brother away, and he wouldn't be able to care about his brother's future.
Worried that his younger brother would be in danger after being sent away, he compromised and agreed to study hard for the scientific expedition.
He passed the exam on his first try and rose step by step to become the third-ranked scholar, achieving his current status at the young age of seventeen.
However, seeing her father's attitude, she realized that if her younger brother threatened her position, he would not hesitate to eliminate him.
…
"No." Jun Muchen knew that his brother was very good to him, but he was now capable of protecting himself and was no longer afraid of his father.
Jun Yuchen reached out and patted his head again: "Be good, don't wander around outside, let's go back first."
“Okay.” Jun Muchen did not refuse.
Jun Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that he had agreed.
As Jun Muchen left, she glanced back at her brother. What should she do? She wanted to take her brother's place.
He had never had this idea before, until he met Wan Ge.
…
After the autumn banquet ended, Madam Deng looked at her daughter and said directly, "Kneel down."
Deng Wanning obediently knelt on the ground.
The second wife looked somewhat annoyed at her son's lack of self-control: "You know perfectly well that the General's Mansion has never wanted to get involved with the royal family, yet you still fall for the Second Prince! Do you know that if the Second Prince agrees today, we will have no choice but to form a marriage alliance with the royal family?"
Deng Wanning looked at her mother and replied, "But I just like him."
"You!" The second wife was so angry with her daughter that she almost fainted.
