The Prodigal Son

As soon as Qin Yu returned to his residence, he was surrounded by a large group of people, as if he were a star being fawned over.

Granny Sun was so happy she kept wiping away tears. "If the eldest young master and his wife were alive, they would be so happy to see the young master like this!"

Hearing what Granny Sun said, everyone in the mansion nodded in agreement.

Now, Qin Yu has made something of himself.

He was no longer a disgrace to the Duke of Wei's mansion, but rather its pride.

"Okay, okay!"

Qin Yu stopped Sun Ma from crying incessantly, "Let's eat first! I haven't tasted your and Wu Ma's cooking in so long."

He didn't get full at all while dining with the female devil!

To be honest, the imperial cuisine was really not good!

The food is not as good as what Aunt Sun and Aunt Wu make!

"well……"

Aunt Sun hastily wiped away her tears. "Young Master, please sit down and rest. The food is still warm; we're just waiting for you to return!"

As she spoke, Grandma Sun quickly called a few people to the kitchen to fetch food.

Watching Aunt Sun leave, Qin Yu immediately put his arm around Luo Qingyi's waist and asked with a smile, "Did you miss me?"

Being embraced by Qin Yu in public like this, Luo Qingyi blushed deeply.

She was too embarrassed to answer, so she just nodded slightly.

Qin Yu chuckled and lowered his head to kiss Luo Qingyi's burning cheek, making her blush even more.

Qin Yu laughed heartily, and was about to pull Nan Que'er into his arms and do the same, but Nan Que'er nimbly dodged away, "Thirteenth Young Master, you still want to take advantage of me?"

As she spoke, Nan Que'er subtly signaled to Qin Yu with her eyes not to be too dissolute.

She had already told Qin Yu this.

Before Zhao Luan announces how to deal with them, his relationship with Qin Yu cannot be made public, lest Qin Yu be implicated.

Qin Yu gave her a wry smile, and could only laugh it off, continuing the conversation, "I'm used to it, haha..."

Luo Qingyi keenly sensed the unusual atmosphere between the two, quickly released Qin Yu's hand from Nan Que'er's, and asked with a smile, "What's your name, little sister?"

Nan Que'er was a little overwhelmed by Luo Qingyi's enthusiasm. After a moment, she replied gracefully, "My name is Nan Que'er. You can just call me Que'er, sister."

"My name is Luo Qingyi, you can just call me Qingyi."

Luo Qingyi patted Nan Que'er's hand, "You must be hungry too, right? Let's get ready to eat!"

Nan Que'er nodded and smiled, then gave Qin Yu a wink.

Qin Yu smiled helplessly.

Never mind, I'll tell her about Zhao Luan's decision later!

Soon, the steaming hot food was served.

Qin Yu seemed to be possessed by Qi Dachui, and started showing off his food like crazy.

His appearance made everyone in the mansion think he was being abused.

After the meal, Qin Yu took Luo Qingyi and Nan Que'er back to his courtyard.

Only then did Qin Yu tell her that Zhao Luan had agreed to pardon them.

"real?"

Nan Que'er was overjoyed.

So they've been pardoned?

"How could it be fake?"

Qin Yu rolled her eyes at her. "So, we don't need to hide our relationship anymore, right?"

Nan Que'er thought for a moment, then said softly, "It's better to avoid trouble. Let's wait until His Majesty summons me before discussing this further!"

Luo Qingyi's eyes gleamed with a strong gossip-loving fire, and she immediately began to inquire about their affairs.

Before Qin Yu could even speak, Nan Que'er, fearing he would reveal the sordid story of the cave, blurted out, "I saved his life, and he repaid me with his body!"

"what?"

Luo Qingyi was stunned, looking at the two of them with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

When Qi Dachui brought Nan Que'er back, he told her about how Nan Que'er saved Qin Yu's life.

But Qi Dachui didn't mention Qin Yu's offer of himself to him!

Nan Que'er didn't say much, quickly stood up, and looked at Luo Qingyi with a mischievous expression, "Let's talk about what we need to do another day! You two haven't seen each other for so long, I won't disturb your intimacy!"

"No!"

Luo Qingyi was clearly unfazed by Nan Que'er's teasing. She grabbed Nan Que'er's hand and said with a smile, "Let's help warm the bed for Thirteenth Young Master together, and we sisters can get to know each other better!"

"Let's do it another day!"

Nan Que'er was equally unfazed by Luo Qingyi's teasing, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future! Alright, you two can get intimate all you want!"

After saying that, Nan Que'er winked at Luo Qingyi and left gracefully.

Luo Qingyi was surprised and turned to look at Qin Yu, "This little sister Que'er is quite a remarkable person!"

Nan Que'er's personality suited her taste quite well.

She rarely encounters a woman who is her equal!

"That's right! You should know my taste!"

Qin Yu laughed heartily, then put his arm around Luo Qingyi and asked, "While I was away from the capital, did anyone cause you any trouble?"

"Now everyone in the capital knows I work for the Thirteenth Young Master. Who would dare to cause me trouble?"

Luo Qingyi snuggled closer to Qin Yu, smiling brightly as she raised her chin. "Everyone in the capital is saying that the Thirteenth Young Master has been keeping quiet until now, and now he's making a name for himself..."

Thinking about her relationship with Qin Yu, Luo Qingyi also found it quite amazing.

She originally just wanted to help Qin Yu have a child, but unexpectedly found a good match.

Sometimes, things in this world are truly inexplicable.

"These bastards have given me far too much credit."

Qin Yu shook his head and smiled, "I only hope that Your Majesty will not suspect the Qin family..."

"That's true."

Luo Qingyi nodded in deep agreement and comforted him, "Thirteenth Young Master, don't worry too much. There are two other people in the capital who have quite a reputation recently."

"Who?"

Qin Yu asked curiously.

Luo Qingyi replied, "One is Lü Si..."

"Who?"

Qin Yu's eyes widened suddenly. "Lü...Lü Si?"

"yes!"

Luo Qingyi nodded. "The entire capital is now buzzing with the story of Lü Si's feat of slaying over a thousand men in the southern borderlands..."

"How much...?"

Qin Yu was dumbfounded.

A thousand-man kill?

Damn, this isn't how you double the amount!

Why not mention that Lü Si killed over ten thousand people in battle?

Luo Qingyi giggled and, mimicking a storyteller's tone, told Qin Yu, "Suddenly, Lü Si shouted, 'Hey, you traitorous general, don't run!' Then, wielding his gleaming silver spear, he leaped out like a streak of light, plunging into the enemy ranks. Wherever Lü Si passed, blood and flesh flew everywhere..."

Lü Si charged in and out of the enemy ranks seven times, fighting so fiercely that the sky darkened and the sun and moon lost their light.

Upon hearing the name of Lü Si, the enemy troops completely collapsed and fled!

Lu Si, the celestial being descended from the God of War, relentlessly pursued the enemy, chasing them single-handedly for over eighty li...

As she spoke, even Luo Qingyi herself couldn't help but laugh.

"Ha ha……"

Qin Yu laughed loudly, "Lu Chunqiu is really shameless in his efforts to promote his son!"

"This has nothing to do with Lü Chunqiu."

Luo Qingyi winked and smiled, then playfully pointed to herself.

"Um?"

Qin Yu asked in surprise, "Were you behind this?"

"Um."

Luo Qingyi smiled and said, "I was also worried that the Thirteenth Young Master's fame was too great and would arouse His Majesty's suspicion, so I discussed it with Lord Yang and asked him to write some books to give to the storytellers..."

It was precisely because of their encouragement that Lü Si's reputation soared.

Today, Qin Yu and Lü Si, the former Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick, one a reincarnation of the God of Literature and the other a reincarnation of the God of War, are almost becoming the twin pillars of the empire.

"Well done!"

Qin Yu laughed loudly, planted a firm kiss on Luo Qingyi's pretty face, and then asked curiously, "Who is the other person?"

I'll have time to elaborate on this later.

It is said that Lü Si received all the knowledge of Fengchu from Master Shuijing in his dream, and was given the name "Fengchu" by him. Master Shuijing also predicted that whoever obtains Fengchu will rule the world!

Luo Qingyi pursed her lips and said, "The heir of the Prince of Chengyang, Zhao Yan!"

"he?"

Qin Yu was slightly surprised, but his mind started to wander again.

The Prince of Chengyang claimed to be proposing marriage, but in reality, he was forcing his way into it!

It's obvious that the female demon is now very dissatisfied with the Prince of Chengyang!

With the Prince of Chengyang leading the way, he doesn't need to worry about the female demon's suspicion of the Qin family for the time being.

However, it seems that if the female demon were to marry Zhao Yan, it wouldn't be of much benefit to the Qin family.

Moreover, he had met Zhao Yan several years ago and disliked him very much.

Why should this bastard get to win the beauty's heart?

Is there a way to have the best of both worlds?
