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

After saying these words, Qin Ruolan looked at his brother quietly, his eyes full of expectation.

The elder brother will definitely put the overall situation first, understand his own difficulties, and make the most appropriate arrangements.

Qin Junyi's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and a chill ran through his body: "You don't want to say, let me give you Shiyi, right?"

"I...I am only familiar with him. I believe he can protect me well." Qin Ruolan saw that the situation was wrong, suppressed the fear in his heart, retracted his hand and whispered softly.

Outside the house, when Shiyi heard that Qin Ruolan wanted someone, he immediately clenched the hilt of his sword, veins appearing on his knuckles.

When I heard my name, I felt no more luck. I closed my eyes tightly and swallowed the bitterness and helplessness.

There was silence in the room, and then Qin Junyi's gnashing of teeth sounded: "If you can't get him, you will destroy him."

"I don't!"

"You still said no!"

Qin Junyi scolded angrily, the anger in his heart erupting like fire, and said sternly: "If the crown prince of Goguryeo knew that you had wanted to marry Shi Yi, do you think he would still tolerate Shi Yi living under his nose?"

"If you don't tell me, if I don't tell him, he won't know."

"There is no airtight wall in the world, and how do you ensure that you will not show more love than master and servant? You are obviously going to die!"

Qin Ruolan cried and shook her head in defense: "No, I didn't. I didn't mean to harm him, I was just too scared..."

The words were interrupted by Qin Junyi: "If you are afraid, then don't marry!"

"How can that be done!" Qin Ruolan spoke faster than his brain and made the most instinctive reaction.

Qin Junyi's pupils shrank suddenly, his suspicious eyes fixed on Qin Ruolan, and he asked word by word: "What's wrong?"

Qin Ruolan realized that she had been too impatient just now, and the expression on her face instantly became stiff and dull.

After a long while, she stammered and said: "I...I actually want to help you...Brother, I really want to help you!

As long as I marry Goguryeo, our two countries can become friendly neighbors. In this way, the Youzhou border will be safe and stable. "

Her voice was trembling slightly, and she seemed a little guilty, but her eyes were stubborn and firm.

Qin Junyi no longer believed her lies, "You are wrong. Even without this marriage, I can still become friends with Goguryeo. The marriage is just the icing on the cake."

After saying that, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Since you care about my brother so much, how can I be so cruel as to marry you away to her country? In my opinion, I'd better refuse this marriage."

"No!" Qin Ruolan stretched out her hand again and grabbed Qin Junyi's arm tightly. Sweat broke out on her forehead and said urgently, "Brother, as a girl of the Qin family, I should contribute to our family. You are the head of the family. Lord, don’t do favoritism to others!”

If she misses this opportunity, then when will she wait until the day when she can marry the king or heir of a neighboring country again, ascend to the throne, and become the most noble woman in the world?

"What a favoritist!"

Qin Junyi was so angry that he sneered, then his face turned away, and he said seriously: "If you insist on getting married, I can give you twenty servants as a dowry according to the standards of a princess' marriage. But for Shiyi, don't have any more illusions. !”

Hearing this, Qin Ruolan's eyes widened with disbelief on her face, and she asked with trembling lips: "Why? In your heart, am I, a sister of the same mother, inferior to a mere subordinate of yours? "

Her voice unconsciously raised an octave, and her emotions became more and more excited.

"As a subordinate of mine, you can be absolutely loyal to me, life and death. But what about you?" Speaking of this, Qin Junyi's eyes were full of disappointment, "In the past year, you seem to have completely changed. You are full of eyes and can only accommodate yourself. one person."

Qin Ruolan was stabbed in a sore spot and suddenly collapsed and shouted: "Why am I like this? Isn't it because between you and my mother, I didn't abandon my mother and stood entirely on your side? Is it wrong for me to be filial to my mother?" ?"

There was a hint of pain in Qin Junyi's eyes: "I didn't stop you from being filial to your mother, and I didn't ask you to stand by me, but look at what you look like now, how are you different from your mother?"

"It's not because you are biased! Sister-in-law, as the daughter-in-law of our family, it is only natural for her to serve her mother with filial piety. It is also natural for her to be respectful and humble to my sister-in-law! However, as for you, you are devoted to She doesn’t even care about the most basic principles and bottom lines!”

Qin Ruolan's face was full of grief and anger, venting all the dissatisfaction and resentment that had been buried deep in her heart.

When Qin Junyi heard this, he was furious and scolded sternly: "If it weren't for your sister-in-law, I'm afraid I would have died! Our family wouldn't be where it is today!"

"That's just your one-sided idea! Even without her, my second uncle will bring people to rescue us, and our family can still make a comeback!" Qin Ruolan showed no weakness and retorted with a stiff neck.

Qin Junyi asked sadly: "Why are you so sure that you will survive until the day when your second uncle arrives? Are you unaware of the many crises you encountered on the way to exile?"

Qin Ruolan's lips trembled slightly, but she still didn't speak.

After a while, she said softly: "But... you are just partial!"

Hearing this, Qin Junyi's eyes suddenly turned red: "Yes, I am indeed partial, and I tell you, this partiality will continue until I die! Since you can't accept this fact, then marry Get out and stay far away!”

"Then give me the lost one."

"Don't even think about it!" Qin Junyi's tone became more and more severe, "You must be so stubborn about this marriage. Are you really thinking about the interests of your family and country, or are you just doing it for your own selfish reasons? You must know it best!"

Qin Ruolan paused when he heard the words, and opened his mouth but didn't know how to argue.

"If you really want to marry to Goguryeo, just do as I say, otherwise, I will find another good match for you." Qin Junyi said coldly.

Qin Ruolan was so angry that she stamped her feet, turned around and ran out of the room, tears falling down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Seeing Su Yunwan who had arrived outside the door at some unknown time, she cried and yelled at Su Yunwan: "Are you satisfied now?"

Faced with Qin Ruolan's question, Su Yunwan only glanced at her lightly, and then said in a tone that was so exasperating that it would cost her life: "It's okay."

This attitude was like a sharp sword, deeply hurting Qin Ruolan's heart. Her eyes were full of resentment, and she squeezed out a voice from between her teeth: "I hate you!"

"Shut up!" With a roar, Qin Junyi strode out of the study.

His sharp eyes were like two sharp swords, making Qin Ruolan dare not look directly at him: "If you dare to speak rudely again, you will be punished by the family law!"

Qin Ruolan was so frightened that she trembled all over. The last painful punishment appeared in her mind involuntarily, and her face instantly turned as pale as paper.

Tears welled up in her eyes like a flood, and she turned around and ran away crying.

Su Yunwan stood quietly, looking at Qin Ruolan's retreating back with indifferent eyes.

At this time, a warm and powerful hand held her hand, and Qin Junyi's voice calmed down and became gentle in her ears: "Wan Wan, why are you here?"
