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

The tribesmen expressed concern on their faces, but in their hearts they were thinking: Looking at the princess's expression just now, she was clearly suffering from morning sickness!

The prince has not returned for a long time, so he cannot be the father of the child.

Could it be that the old lady was coerced by Qin Mu?

But looking at her radiant appearance, her joy comes from the bottom of her heart. It doesn't look like she is forced, right?

What's the matter?

Seeing that everyone was confused, the old lady hinted, "A few months ago, the imperial army made unusual movements, and Brother Yi secretly came back to deploy the defense of Jizhou to resist the aggressive imperial army."

A quick-witted tribesman immediately responded: "Your Majesty has made preparations in advance, and the battle of Jizhou will surely be won!"

Others echoed:

"Yes, we were originally worried about whether Jizhou would be lost. With Yi Ge'er's advance deployment, we will be able to kill the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor."

"That's right, I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight."

"I think the imperial army will withdraw soon."

"..."

The banquet was over, the clansmen dispersed, and the mansion gradually became quiet.

Luo's mother, daughter and Qin Ruoshan found the old lady and asked about Su Yunwan's true situation.

The old lady did not hide it from them and told them that Su Yunwan was pregnant. At the end, she said, "It's still early, don't go out and say anything."

"Don't worry, we understand." The three of them had basically concluded that Su Yunwan was pregnant from what the old lady had just announced.

This time I came here just to make the final confirmation.

Afterwards, the three of them turned around and congratulated Su Yunwan.

After a few greetings, Qin Ruoning left first and registered the gifts he had received.

Luo and Qin Ruoshan talked about the recent developments of the Women's College and the Weaving Bureau.

These two major institutions are nominally managed by them, but the actual person in power behind the scenes is Su Yunwan. All founding concepts and rules and regulations are decided by Su Yunwan.

With Su Yunwan's strong support, the Women's College and the Weaving Bureau were able to gain a foothold in the provincial capital and set up branches in several nearby counties. They also became prominent figures in the entire Youzhou.

For the next few days, everything in the mansion was peaceful.

For Su Yunwan, apart from being renamed as princess and having to pay more attention to her diet, there were no other changes.

However, there was a dark tide among the clan outside the palace. With the help of some people, several rumors were quietly spread among the Qin clan members:

The princess is pregnant, but the father of her unborn baby is someone else.

The old lady was coerced into fabricating a lie to cover up for the princess.

Qin Mu was bribed by the princess to deal with the old lady together, and was suspected of having the intention of treason.

*

In an inn on the border of Jiyou, a woman wearing a cap hurried up to the second floor and knocked on the door of the easternmost guest room.

"Miss, I heard a piece of news from the Qin family. The princess is pregnant." The woman untied her hood, revealing her beautiful face.

Yin Ruoshu leaned against the window, looking gloomy: "She is lucky."

"The problem is, that person said that the prince is far away in Liangzhou and the child's father is unknown..." Ah Man told the details of the information he had obtained.

After leaving Beiling Village, they headed west and settled in a small town in Jizhou.

Yin Ruoshu knew that it would be difficult for the two of them, women alone, to find a place to stay in such a chaotic world.

Even if he wanted to stay away from Qin Mu, he had to settle down in Jizhou, which had surrendered to the Qin family.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she would think of her past with Qin Mu, filled with a mixture of love and hate.

Until one day in the middle of the night, when she had just fallen into a light sleep, she was awakened by the loud shouting of killing, and the imperial army launched a fierce attack.

In order to avoid the war, Yin Ruoshu and A Man hurriedly packed their luggage and moved to their current inn overnight.

At the same time, he was worried that the Qin army had just suffered a battle with the Xianbei and he didn't know whether they could hold Jizhou.

If Jizhou City is broken, Youzhou will be in danger!

Faced with this chaotic world where human life is worthless, Yin Ruoshu doesn't want to be like a flower in the wild, blown by the wind and rain and turned into mud.

After careful consideration, he decided to put aside the past grudges and return to Qin Mu.

Only Qin Mu can give her a sense of security.

However, if she wants to win back Qin Mu's heart, it is not enough for her to just look back.

Yin Ruoshu asked Ah Man to find out the news about Qin Mu first, and then what happened just now happened.

After hearing what Ah Man said, her face had turned red with anger and she gritted her teeth and said, "I know who the father of the child is!"

Ah Man widened his eyes: "You don't mean..."

"Except Qin Mu, there is no one else! How dare he! How dare he!!!" Yin Ruoshu screamed heartbreakingly, and the hatred seemed to burn her to ashes.

Ah Man hurriedly advised: "Miss, please calm down. I don't think the Third Young Master is that kind of person!"

"What kind of person is he? Given his loyalty to his eldest brother, if he wasn't the father of the child, would he allow Su Yunwan to have a peaceful pregnancy?" Yin Ruoshu asked in despair.

"There must be something hidden here."

"What else could be hidden? I discovered their affair a long time ago, but I never thought they would dare to do such a shameful thing!"

"Miss......"

"That's enough, stop talking, let's get out of here right now!"

Yin Ruoshu wiped the tears from her cheeks vigorously, then turned around abruptly and began to pack her luggage.

Her movements were swift and decisive, as if she wanted to escape as quickly as possible from this humiliating and heartbreaking place.

Ah Man also quietly began to pack up, but still couldn't help asking, "Everywhere is in turmoil right now, where are we going?"

Yin Ruoshu stopped what she was doing and looked into the void, the hatred in her heart bursting out: "Northwest, Liangzhou."

Ah Man's expression instantly cracked.

Yin Ruoshu learned about the rumors, and Qin Ershu and Qin Junxian, who were stationed in the central and eastern regions of Youzhou, also received secret letters from their clansmen one after another.

They didn't believe the detailed rumors against Qin Mu in the letter at all.

It can be said that anyone in this world could betray Qin Junyi, except Qin Mu.

Out of absolute trust in Qin Mu, regarding Su Yunwan's pregnancy, Second Uncle Qin agreed with the old lady's words that Qin Junyi had secretly returned home, even though it didn't sound true.

The so-called deployment of Jizhou defense is obviously false at first glance.

Based on his past understanding of his nephew, he would never do such a thing as abandoning an army of 100,000 in wartime and traveling for months just to return home for a few days of reunion during the New Year.

But since my nephew has a wife and children, he has had more sweet ties, so it is not completely impossible.

Qin Junxian was even less suspicious, because he knew that Su Yunwan had a secret that could not be treated as an ordinary person.

Regardless of whether the eldest brother really returns home or not, given the relationship between the couple, the fetus in the belly must be the eldest brother's without a doubt.

Both the uncle and nephew smelled a storm coming.

Someone is trying to sow discord among the direct lineage, causing chaos in the rear!
