Reborn to choose a husband, I will lead the deposed prince to seize my ex-husband’s kingdom

There were still two unrecovered scars on his arms. Xu Minghuai stopped Xu Mingyue from turning upwards:

"We are grown girls now. Your Highness might become jealous if he sees you like this."

"If you still feel unhappy, how about I show you another set of guns?"

Xu Mingyue shook her head, wiped the water from her eyes with a handkerchief, and muttered in a low voice: "You ran back secretly, and you didn't bring a gun with you at all."

The half of the arm she just looked at was covered with various large and small scars, much more than what Xu Mingyue saw on Xu Jian when she was young.

Xu Minghuai's path was much more difficult than Xu Jian's.

Xu Minghuai's path must be more difficult than Xu Jian's.

Although Xu Jian's father and mother died on the battlefield, he himself was born to march and fight, and the two kings above the throne were both wise kings. They wanted soldiers for soldiers, money for money, and trust for trust.

Unlike Xu Minghuai, who faced oppression from all forces and spent nine years in Wu'an County, he is now just a fourth-grade captain.

Xu Mingyue put down Xu Minghuai's sleeves: "When I go to Wu'an County, you can show me again."

He took the handkerchief handed over by Youyu, wiped his hands and began to peel melon seeds for Xu Mingyue.

After peeling them into a small pile, Xu Minghuai pushed the melon seed kernels to Xu Mingyue: "Okay, okay, mine is okay. As long as you don't get angry, I can do anything you ask me to do."

She lowered her head to pick up the melon seeds and ate them silently. Even though her eyes were red, Xu Mingyue didn't cry anymore.

"Brother, please lie to me less in the future, otherwise I will file a lawsuit against you and ask her to deal with you."

Xu Minghuai was obviously stunned: "Who is your sister?"

If Xu Mingyue had an extra sister, Xu Minghuai would understand.

But how could his parents give birth to a sister for Xu Mingyue?

"Zhou Shu, Zhou Shu is my sister."

Xu Minghuai thought for a moment: "Are you talking about Xiao Shu?"

He never knew Zhou Shu's name.

At the border of the Dayu Dynasty, there were many people who randomly chose a name after their parents died.

On the day Xu Minghuai took Zhou Shu out of the prisoner camp, the steward said her name was Xiao Shu, and Xu Minghuai had been calling her Xiao Shu all these years.

"Yes, brother, you have to remember, her name is Zhou Shu."

Xu Mingyue finished eating a small pile of melon seeds and emphasized: "Her name is Zhou Shu."

The Yaomei in front of him looked stubborn, Xu Minghuai smiled and nodded: "I remember."

With tears turning into laughter, Xu Mingyue suddenly asked: "Brother, what's my sister's name?"

"Zhou Shu."

The reply was extremely fast, just like this name, which has left an imprint on Xu Minghuai's heart.

Getting up from the table, Xu Mingyue pulled Xu Minghuai up to the attic.

Pointing to Xie Qingyao, who just looked at her from across the attic, but now she suddenly left and has been waiting for her in the pavilion:

"Brother, I have Xie Qingyao, and I will return it to you. You will take her to Wu'an County tonight."

Xu Mingyue used it, but Zhou Shu never belonged to Xu Minghuai.

"Yao Yao, it's Xiao Shu who takes the initiative to protect you. I can't be her master."

Xu Mingyue didn't believe this.

If Xu Minghuai hadn't made Zhou Shu aware of his uneasiness, how could Zhou Shu have said he would come to protect her, a stranger?

"Brother, Wu'an County is in danger now. You need someone by your side who will always protect your back."

Xu Mingyue said this very solemnly.

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other silently on the attic, and were also silently confronting each other.

Xu Minghuai still wanted to leave Zhou Shu to Xu Mingyue.

Xie Qingyao walked out of the pavilion, jumped up to the attic, and stood beside Xu Mingyue.

Xu Minghuai's fist hardened for a moment and he stretched it out towards Xie Qingyao.

Xie Qingyao quickly retreated from the attic, and Xu Minghuai chased Xie Qingyao.

The two started fighting directly in Qingyuan's backyard.

Zhou Shu heard this strange movement and quickly came to Xu Mingyue's side, looking down at the two people fighting in the backyard.

"Why did the fight start?"

Xu Mingyue thought for a while and joked: "My little brother should regard Xie Qingyao as the prostitute who steals fragrance and jade."

Zhou Shu was a little surprised, but Zhou Shu obviously believed him: "He is so reckless?"

"Yes." Xu Mingyue held Zhou Shu's arm with one hand:

"I think he has never behaved like this in the military, but my little brother is the kind of person who will kill anyone who pulls a hair from me with a spear."

Zhou Shu was a little impatient and subconsciously didn't want the two people who liked Xu Mingyue to hurt their harmony: "Why don't you stop me?"

Xu Mingyue shook her head and told the real reason: "One of them wants to test the other's ability, and the other wants to prove his own strength."

Zhou Shu tried to understand this somewhat complicated emotion: "Your Highness wants to prove that he can protect you, and the general wants to make sure that His Highness can protect you?"

"Yes." Xu Mingyue was afraid that Zhou Shu would think too much: "Sister, don't worry. When my brother gets married in the future, he will definitely be the best to his wife, just like I am the best to Xie Qingyao now."

Hearing Xu Mingyue's explanation to him, Zhou Shu felt an extremely unfamiliar emotion in his heart.

But for a while, she couldn't figure out what this strangeness was.

Zhou Shu was not usually a good talker. Zhou Shu didn't know how to reply to Xu Mingyue's words, so he chose to remain silent.

After some careful consideration, Xu Mingyue told Zhou Shu about the predicament at hand:

"Sister, Xie Chongan is now married to the prime minister's daughter, and I have made an engagement with Xie Qingyao. Xie Chongan will not allow my little brother to have a career in the army."

"As Xie Qingyao and I make more and more moves in the capital, my little brother will become more and more dangerous."

"Sister, my little brother needs you more than me."

Zhou Shu held the hand of the sword tightly and said, "Princess, only if you are good to him will he feel at ease."

Xu Mingyue's eyes were sore and she said softly: "Zhou Shu, you will only want to live if my little brother is alive."

Xu Mingyue always wanted to protect more than just Xu Minghuai.

Everyone wants Xu Mingyue to get her wish.

And her simplest wish, Xu Mingyue, is that all those people who sincerely care for her can be well.

There was a roar inside his skull, as if something had broken free and exploded in Zhou Shu's mind.

Pain penetrated Zhou Shu's limbs and bones.

Zhou Shu, who was used to being able to endure pain, took two steps back to his side until he held on to the railing and stabilized his body.

Cold sweat was still falling, but the pain in his body was replaced by the pain and despair in his heart.

The two people below the attic fought anxiously, and Zhou Shu above the attic burst into tears.

Looking at the young man who was still powerful with his bare hands, Zhou Shu opened and closed his lips several times, and finally chose to close them.

Even though there are thousands of words, not a single word can be said, and not a single word can be said.
