My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

The rain and fog were hazy, and two beautiful shadows were looming.

"Ah!" Qin Ruolan was tired from running. She stood in the rain and shouted to the sky, looking like a madman.

Qin Ruoshan caught up with her and hugged her, "Sister, let's go back first, don't freeze your body!"

Qin Ruolan, who was shivering from the cold, kept asking: "Why? Why does my mother force me like this? Is her past kindness all fake?"

Qin Ruoshan pursed her lips tightly and allowed the rain to hit her head, face, and body.

It is impossible to say that the eldest aunt is purely taking advantage of my sister and has no motherly love. She was just behind bars and wanted to rely on her daughter to get out of her current predicament.

The eldest aunt must have been sure that the eldest brother would not really let my sister get tonsured, so she let the eldest sister compete with the eldest brother. If it really came to a critical moment, she would definitely stop and give in.

But when that time came, she was completely unsure whether her elder brother would let her go.

In recent days, the eldest brother has become a lot more cruel. If my sister foolishly lets her eldest aunt drive her, maybe he will let her become a monk and worship Buddha, which will fulfill their mother-daughter love.

However, whether the eldest aunt is pretending to ask my sister to become a monk, or whether the eldest brother may treat her harshly, it is all based on her own speculation, and it is not convenient for her to know.

She would rather her sister believed that her eldest aunt wanted to drag her into ruin, and then get rid of her control, so as not to be used as a bargaining chip against her eldest brother again.

Seeing that her cousin was silent, Qin Ruolan gradually stopped talking.

"Let's go back!" Qin Ruoshan felt wet, cold and uncomfortable, so she forced Qin Ruolan to go back.

But even though Qin Ruolan was equally wet and cold, she still wanted the heavy rain to wash away the pain in her heart, so she broke away from Qin Ruoshan's hand and asked her to go back first and leave herself alone.

Qin Ruoshan couldn't leave her alone and go back to the house alone. She stamped her feet and ran to the rockery nearby to take shelter from the rain.

They didn't know that there was a person standing quietly on the Lixue Pavilion high up, watching everything.

That person was Chu Yi.

Just now, he and his younger brother Chu Yan were drinking tea and watching the rain at Lixue Pavilion, where they saw the Qin sisters chasing each other in the rain.

Enthusiastic Chu Yan immediately said: "Such a heavy rain will make you sick. No, I will go find rain gear."

Before Chu Yi could say anything, his brother ran away.

Chu Yi saw the Qin family's guards hiding in the dark, and there was nothing going on, so he had no intention of intervening.

Seeing Qin Ruoshan running towards the rockery alone, Chu Yi couldn't help but have a playful smile on her lips.

Qin Ruolan huddled in the rain alone, her thin body unable to withstand the heavy rain. Within a moment, she ran towards Qin Ruoshan with trembling lips.

When Chu Yan came to deliver the umbrella, he saw the two shivering sisters huddled under the rockery.

"You guys go back to the house quickly, don't catch a cold." Chu Yan handed the unopened umbrella forward.

Qin Ruoshan suppressed her trembling and bowed Yingying, "Thank you, Seventh Young Master. We will return the umbrella to you in a moment."

"Don't worry, let's go!" Chu Yan returned the salute, his eyes always politely avoiding the two sisters' wet bodies.

Qin Ruoshan noticed this small detail, her face turned red, she quickly opened her umbrella, and walked back with Qin Ruolan supporting each other, her pace was quite hurried.

Chu Yan followed from a distance and escorted them all the way until he saw them entering the small courtyard designated for the Qin family, then turned back to the Chu family's courtyard.

Shi Er, who was at the back, looked at Chu Yan's back, rolled his eyes, and returned to his life.

The news of the return of the two sisters reached the ears of the old lady and Su Yunwan. Su Yunwan, who had already laid down to rest, immediately asked someone to bring ginger soup that had been simmered. The old lady asked the two sisters to go see her after packing.

Not long after, the two sisters, who had changed their clothes and finished drinking the ginger soup, stood in front of the old lady and listened to her harshly criticize Mr. Pei for being cruel and Qin Ruolan for being cowardly. However, Qin Ruoshan received a rare praise from the old lady and even took out two taels of silver to fight. Reward her.

Mrs. Lin's face filled with joy instantly froze, and the silk handkerchief in her hand was almost torn.

The fourth master was as submissive as ever, and as a son, Qin Junyu secretly clenched his fists.

Qin Ruoshan smiled lightly and leaned over to take the silver: "Thank you, grandma."

The slightly trembling arms revealed the true emotions in his heart.

She endured the humiliation of being treated like a maid by her grandmother. She stepped aside and looked at her sister who was standing in the middle and sobbing softly. She felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.

Su Yunwan next door listened and secretly saw the reaction of the fourth room. She sighed speechlessly: The old lady is still as simple and rough as ever!

After her intentional and fair treatment during this period, the old lady's view of the fourth room has changed a lot. She believes that the old lady values ​​the affection between sisters and does not regard Qin Ruoshan as Qin Ruolan's maid.

In fact, this is indeed the case for the old lady. She rewarded him with silver this time because the materials were in Su Yunwan's hands, and she had no expensive jewelry of her own, so she could only reward them with silver.

The hundreds of taels of money donated by her mother-in-law have been handed over to the public school, and the last 20 taels of monthly silver were all subsidized to her third son. The only two taels of silver she had on hand was obtained from Pei's family behind her back. Knocked.

Now I will give away all the remaining money. Firstly, the old lady really likes Qin Ruoshan who stops Qin Ruolan from being stupid again and again. Secondly, it has been almost a month since the last monthly silver payment, and the money bag will be replenished in a few days. It doesn't matter if it's empty.

She would never have imagined that doing bad things with good intentions would actually arouse the resentment of the fourth room.

The cause of your own creation is here to taste the fruit. Su Yunwan didn't want to explain to the old lady, so she only asked people to send thick cloaks to the two sisters, and then she emptied her mind and gradually fell asleep listening to the hypnotic sound of rain.

On the other side, the two sisters who returned to their own house were wearing thick cloaks and holding hot tea cups. They sat opposite each other in front of the window and remained silent for a long time.

It wasn't until Yu Zhenzhen's arrival that the peace in the room was broken.

Yu Zhenzhen and Ding Qiutong, mother and daughter, stayed in the house. First they heard Pei being dragged to the execution hall, and then they heard Qin Junxian's painful pleas for mercy. They were attached to the Qin family and could only close the door tightly to avoid causing trouble to the Qin family.

Until the two sisters came back, Ding Qiutong stayed in the house to take care of Xiaozhu, because Zhenzhen came out to comfort Qin Ruolan.

It was also with the arrival of Yu Zhenzhen that Qin Ruolan, who had left the Dharma Hall on the way, knew that her second brother had been severely punished. Her mood, which had finally calmed down, became unstable again. Her tears were like broken pearls, splashing on the table and scattering in all directions.

"I'm going to see my second brother." Qin Ruolan wiped away her tears and staggered to her feet. Qin Ruoshan did not accompany her anymore.

As an outsider, Yu Zhenzhen was not suitable to go with him. She looked at Qin Ruoshan with big blank eyes, "You still don't know about the second young master? Did I get into trouble?"

"Let's not talk about causing trouble. Sister will find out sooner or later." Qin Ruoshan said in a cold tone.

Yu Zhenzhen noticed her abnormality and couldn't help but ask: "Did something happen to you too?"

"No, I'm just a little tired."

"Then you should rest well."

Looking at Qin Ruoshan who looked tired, Yu Zhenzhen immediately stood up and left.

Qin Ruoshan sent her out of the house. As soon as the two stepped out of the door, they saw Qin Ruolan blocked by Wu Shaohan outside the house, pestering her relentlessly.
