Shen Li was shocked: "What did you say?"

"Shall we get engaged?"

"seriously?"

"Of course, Ah Li, I don't believe you can't see that Jin Duobao and Guan Wenyi are obviously still thinking about you. If we let them give up, we will have to get married. But now that my eldest brother's problem has not been resolved, we can't get married for the time being, but we can get engaged first."

Shen Li stared at Qin Yu for a while: "Just because of this?"

"Not entirely. In fact, I really want to marry you, but with my elder brother here, it's not in accordance with the rules, so I want to get engaged first, so that you can't run away, and those who covet you will give up."

Shen Li did not agree immediately. In fact, it was only a matter of time before she and Qin Yu got married, and she would not marry anyone else in this life. But like he said, her three brothers were all unmarried, so it would be a bit bad for her to get engaged, right?

"I...let's not rush it."

"I know your concerns, but Ali, we are just engaged, don't you agree with this?"

"When my eldest brother gets married in the future, we can get married directly without an engagement, so it's not important, right?" Shen Li said.

"Ali, it has not been easy for us along the way. I have blocked hidden weapons for you and you have blocked arrows for me. We have experienced life and death several times to get to where we are today. I just want to settle down as soon as possible so that those who have feelings for you will know that you are mine. Can't you really fulfill my wish?" Qin Yu looked at her expectantly.

Shen Li looked at him with such eyes and didn't know how to refuse for a moment: "Don't look at me like that, otherwise I will think you did it on purpose, just because you want me not to refuse."

"It's unfair, I mean it sincerely." Qin Yu's eyes showed a little more innocence, and he looked at Shen Li more earnestly.

How could Shen Li bear such a pair of innocent dog eyes, especially when the person was her favorite: "Then... I still have to ask my eldest brother and mother first."

"I've asked, and they said that as long as you agree, it'll be fine. Also, my eldest brother said that the engagement is not complicated. There's only my mother and I at home, so we just need to bring the betrothal gifts. Once the engagement is done, it'll be done."

Shen Li looked at him in shock: "When did you talk to them?"

"Uh...that's not important."

"Okay, you really have been planning this for a long time. It's not something you just thought of today. You were just pretending when you looked at me with such an innocent and eager look just now."

"A Li, I really want to get engaged to you, but it's not just something I've thought of today. My aunt and elder brother don't mind, so you don't have to worry about it. Will you promise me?" Qin Yu finally became serious. His eyes were full of affection at this moment. He just looked at Shen Li, as if he would keep looking at her if she didn't agree.

In Shen Li's opinion, Qin Yu's eyes were always dark and deep, and most of the time, she couldn't see the emotions in them. But at this moment, there was nothing else to be seen in these eyes except affection.

She recalled the original book's introduction to the hero: affectionate and loyal. At this moment, she finally felt it.

Having said this, she no longer had any reason to refuse, nor did she want to refuse.

So he nodded: "I agree."

Qin Yu smiled brightly: "That's great, it's really great, A Li, thank you." After that, he walked straight to Shen Li, took her hand, pulled her up from the chair, and then hugged her in his arms.

Shen Li was happy when he found out that she agreed, because it turned out that she also wanted to settle down with him.

The engagement date was set for three days later, and this time surprised Shen Li. Engagement requires a betrothal gift, but Qin Yu was able to prepare it in such a short time. What does this mean? It means that Qin Yu had been planning this for a long time.

Qin Yueying also returned to Qin's house and helped Qin Yu prepare everything needed for the engagement.

In the blink of an eye, it was the engagement day.

Shen's hall.

Liu Dahua and Qin Yueying were sitting in the main seats, and the ones who took action were Shen Han and Shen Liang respectively.

Originally Shen Liang had been building terraces in the two counties, but on the day Shen Li got engaged, he, as the second brother, naturally asked for leave and came back.

Then there are Shen Li and Qin Yu.

The betrothal gifts were laid out all over the yard, and Zhang Wang and Liu Xin were still checking the list.

For Shen Li, there was nothing to be nervous about. After all, everyone in this hall was his family, especially Qin Yueying, who had been living here for such a long time.

To her, Qin Yueying was almost like her biological mother.

The same goes for Qin Yu, he is also very familiar with the Shen family.

"Sister Dahua, this is the book review." Qin Yueying said.

Liu Dahua took it, looked at it happily, and then handed it to Shen Han.

Shen Han looked at it and handed it to Shen Liang.

"Sister Dahua, now all you have to do is reply to the post and it will be done."

Just as Liu Dahua was about to speak, Zhang Wang walked in: "Madam, Master Qin, there is a guest outside, who said it is your father."

Qin Yu's face darkened: "Tell them I don't have a father and let them go."

In this situation, the Shen family naturally said nothing.

But Qin Yueying also spoke up: "Yu'er, this is with A-li. If you let the Shen family drive them away, wouldn't you offend him? Don't forget that he is the prime minister."

Everyone in the Shen family knew about what happened to Qin Yueying, but they never expected that the unfaithful man, Qin Yu's father, was actually the prime minister of the dynasty.

Shen Han knew that Qin Yu had always been against the Prime Minister, but he did not expect that they were actually father and son.

"Then I'll go and chase them away." Qin Yu stood up and was about to go out.

At this time, Gu Cheng'an broke in directly, and an ordinary servant could not stop him.

Behind him were Gu Cheng, Huo Nanlian, and another person who looked like he was the one serving Huo Nanlian.

Shen Han stood up first, then bowed: "Greetings, Prime Minister."

Shen Li, Shen Liang, and Liu Dahua all followed suit and saluted.

Shen Li looked at the servants who were stopping people and said, "You all go down first." Then she winked at Zhang Wang. She wanted to tell him not to let anyone get close to here. In the current situation, many things really could not be heard by others.

Shen Han then spoke: "Prime Minister Gu, although Shen Han is only a small minister, he is also an official appointed by the court. What is the important matter that has brought you to my residence?"

"Lord Shen, you have misunderstood. I am here for my son's engagement, not to cause trouble. I just waited outside the door for too long, so I came in directly. Lord Shen, you have been reluctant to let me in, which is not the right way to entertain guests, right? Do you look down on me, the Prime Minister?" Gu Chengdao said.

When Shen Li heard this, she thought that this was just using power to suppress others. It was true that a higher-ranking official could crush people to death. But she didn't have any say now.

"Prime Minister Gu, it was me who didn't let you in, but you can't blame Lord Shen. Today is my engagement day. Even if you are the prime minister, there is no reason for you to disturb me. If this matter is brought to the attention of the emperor, I'm afraid you won't care." Qin Yu said.
