Lu Qingyan chuckled twice: "Actually, why is Brother Jiyan in such a hurry? If I had known later, I would have felt more at ease."
“Ayan,” Shen Jiyan turned his back, “It’s better to know sooner rather than later. Prepare everything that needs to be prepared. Life might be tough over there.”
"But you still sent me out, didn't you?" Lu Qingyan sneered, "Shen Jiyan, you're really being a disgusting hypocrite at a time like this!"
Chen Jiyan sighed: "Ayan, do you have to say that? As long as you live well there, I will bring you back one day."
These words sounded like a vow. Shen Ji spoke with absolute certainty, but Lu Qingyan didn't quite believe them.
"Bring it back again?" Lu Qingyan laughed and said, "Brother Jiyan is dreaming. If it really happens, what identity will I have when I come back?" If I come back, will I still have a place to stay?
She didn't ask the last question.
"Brother Jiyan, the door is over there, so I won't see you off. Don't worry, I'm not an unreasonable or ungrateful person, and I won't make a scene at a time like this."
Lu Qingyan watched Shen Jiyan's retreating figure and walked into the house. She closed the door, and Shen Jiyan was no longer visible.
Lu Qingyan sat quietly on the edge of the bed, lost in thought. After a long time, she saw Liu Su and Manao rush in: "Princess, are you alright? This servant just saw Young Master Shen come out from outside."
Lu Qingyan couldn't help but sneer when she thought about how the people outside would react when they found out the news. Shen Jiyan was really annoying.
If others see this and spread rumors behind her back, she'll be truly ruined. Especially at this time, if she suffers any injustice in Jin, who will stand up for her?
Shen Jiyan was right; Lu Qinglin eventually went to Lu Qingyan.
Lu Qinglin was a straightforward person who never played tricks on anyone; he would just say what he wanted to say: "Ayan, I want you to go to Jin for a political marriage."
Lu Qinglin seemed embarrassed, but he still explained the situation to Lu Qingyan: "Ayan, the Jin Kingdom has taken four cities from the Lu Kingdom in one fell swoop. If it weren't for the Shen family sending people to hold them off, the fifth city would have been taken by now. The ministers in the court do not agree to send troops and want to sue for peace with the Jin Kingdom. So... so..."
Lu Qinglin seemed somewhat embarrassed to say this: "They are preparing to sue for peace and send you to the State of Jin."
"Brother, this is a difficult situation," Lu Qingyan sighed. Looking at Lu Qinglin's appearance, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
“Ayan, I know you and Cousin Jiyan are in love, and I'd like to wish you both well. But the Shen family won't agree, and neither will your aunt. With the conditions set by the Jin Kingdom, not to mention the court officials, even your aunt has hinted at it to me many times,” Lu Qinglin explained to Lu Qingyan. Looking at him, Lu Qingyan felt a pang of sadness.
In fact, his fate had been controlled by the Shen family from the very beginning, and he had no way to disobey.
"Since it's definitely me who has to go, what's there for my brother to hesitate about? Even if I could stay here, Mother wouldn't leave me a good way out. What difference does it make where I am now?" Lu Qingyan slumped against the pillar.
Actually, if asking Lu Qinglin would be helpful, she would be willing to ask him.
