The Prodigal Son

The fact that Qin Yu led the Baojing Division's men to arrest Zhao Yan and others and bring them to the Baojing Division caused a huge uproar in the capital.

Upon receiving the message, the court officials quickly split into three groups.

A group of people took advantage of the fact that the city gates were still open and left the city overnight to head to the peony garden that the Empress Dowager knew about.

Another group of people rushed to the Prime Minister's residence.

Another group of people have already started discussing countermeasures in private.

Qin Yu and his group didn't care about any of this.

At this point, there's no need to care anymore!

Qin Yu and the others went straight back to the mansion, and Xu Wan went with them.

"You bastard, you kept such a big thing from me, making us run around putting out fires for you!"

On the way back, Xu Wan complained to Qin Yu the whole way.

"This isn't my fault!"

Qin Yu shrugged. "It was His Majesty's order. The fewer people who know, the better! Que'er and Qingyi only found out about this today."

"Um."

Nan Que'er nodded and smiled, "He didn't say anything when he saw how worried we were! We only found out today when someone from the palace came to convey His Majesty's decree."

"I don't care!"

Xu Wan glared at Qin Yu angrily, "Anyway, you have to make it up to me!"

"Okay, since you've been so busy going through all this, I'll make it up to you, alright?"

Qin Yu laughed heartily, "However, I can't offer compensation that's beyond my capabilities."

Without hesitation, Xu Wan said, "Back in Luzhou, didn't you say you'd make me beggar's chicken? Just make it up to me with one! But it has to be made by you yourself!"

"this one?"

Qin Yu chuckled, "Alright, I agree!"

It's just a beggar's chicken, isn't it?

It's no big deal!

They chatted and laughed all the way home, arriving at Qin Yu's courtyard.

Ever since she accidentally attacked Qin Yu's vitals, she had been ashamed for a long time. She didn't even dare to come to the Qin family after learning that Qin Yu had been assassinated. She only sent someone to check if Qin Yu was safe.

Today, she finally came to the Qin family again.

However, the thought of that matter made her blush.

"Commander Xu, why are you blushing?"

Nan Que'er noticed Xu Wan's expression and teased with a smile, "Are you thinking about how you used the monkey to steal peaches for Thirteen Young Master?"

"Pfft..."

Hearing Nan Que'er's words, Luo Qingyi couldn't help but giggle.

Seeing the two women laughing so hard, Xu Wan blushed deeply and glared at them fiercely.

"Snapped!"

Qin Yu slapped Nan Que'er on the buttocks, his domineering aura surging, "You still have the nerve to laugh! You're the culprit too!"

"Thirteenth Young Master, I wouldn't dare!"

Nan Que'er pouted and said in a coquettish voice, "Didn't you already punish me?"

"Pooh!"

Xu Wan spat lightly, then glared angrily at Qin Yu: "Shameless!"

When they returned to the capital from Chenzhou, she sensed that Qin Yu and Nan Que'er were having an ambiguous relationship.

Unexpectedly, it really is true!

It's fortunate that Qin Yu has health problems, otherwise Nan Que'er would probably have already climbed into his bed!

"I'm in my own home, what's there to be ashamed of?"

Qin Yu answered confidently.

"that is!"

Nan Que'er nodded in deep agreement, then teased again, "Judging from your attitude, you'll be climbing into Thirteenth Young Master's bed sooner or later, what's there to be ashamed of!"

"you……"

Xu Wan was both ashamed and angry. "Nan Que'er! I'll tear your mouth apart today!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Wan rushed towards Nan Que'er.

Having learned from his previous experience of being caught in the crossfire, Qin Yu wisely pulled Luo Qingyi aside when Xu Wan and Nan Que'er started playing around.

His body was already acting up and down like a seizure, and he still didn't know what caused the intermittent pain. He didn't want to suffer a second injury.

Nan Que'er and Xu Wan were playfully fighting.

Although both women practiced martial arts, they did not use force; it was just a simple pulling and tugging motion.

You pull my clothes, I pull your hair.

"Thirteenth Young Master, aren't you going to stop them?"

Luo Qingyi turned to look at Qin Yu.

"Why should we stop them?"

Qin Yu smiled mischievously, "Don't you think watching them fight is quite interesting?"

Qin Yu not only didn't want to stop them, but even secretly cheered them on in his heart.

"That's true."

Luo Qingyi smiled and teased, "When does Thirteenth Young Master plan to take Miss Luo into his household?"

"Cough cough..."

Qin Yu coughed twice, feigning seriousness, "Don't talk nonsense! Xu Wan and I are completely innocent."

"You're innocent now, but who knows what will happen in the future!" Luo Qingyi chuckled, then whispered, "Haven't you noticed Miss Luo is jealous?"

"Is there?"

Qin Yu's gaze swept over Xu Wan.

"Definitely!"

Luo Qingyi smiled and said, "I don't believe you couldn't tell at all."

Qin Yu chuckled, then leaned close to Luo Qingyi's ear and said with a wicked grin, "Let me devour you first!"

Luo Qingyi blushed, but gave Qin Yu a seductive smile, "I want to too."

Meeting Luo Qingyi's alluring gaze, Qin Yu felt a sudden urge to take advantage of her right there and then.

Just then, a servant rushed in to report: "Young Master, the Duke has returned and wants you to come over!"

"understood."

Qin Yu responded, but his heart was filled with dissatisfaction.

Why did you have to come back at this time?

Can't you see you're watching the show?

Hearing that Qin Fumeng had returned, Xu Wan finally stopped arguing with Nan Que'er and angrily threatened her, "You just wait! See how I deal with you later!"

"I'm so scared!"

Nan Que'er patted her chest dramatically, then ran to Qin Yu and hugged him tightly. "Thirteenth Young Master, she's going to punish me, so you'd better protect me!"

As she spoke, Nan Que'er looked at Xu Wan provocatively.

Seeing Nan Que'er's appearance, Xu Wan stomped her foot in anger, "You vixen!"

"Some people secretly want to be sly foxes, but pretend to be righteous!" Nan Que'er retorted with a playful expression.

Xu Wan was furious and almost rushed up to fight Nan Que'er again.

"You two keep arguing, I need to go see what the old man wants from me."

Qin Yu didn't want to get involved in their fight, so he quickly made his escape.

Xu Wan glared angrily at Nan Que'er, then turned and walked away.

Seeing Xu Wan's embarrassed expression, Nan Que'er immediately burst into laughter.

That's enough.

Luo Qingyi smiled at Nan Que'er, "Xu Wan is shy, don't make fun of her."

Nan Que'er didn't take it to heart and said confidently, "If we don't take advantage of her current shyness to make fun of her, are we going to wait until she's as shy as you and me before we make fun of her?"

"That...does seem to make some sense!"

Luo Qingyi couldn't help but chuckle, then pulled Nan Que'er's arm and asked in a low voice, "Is Thirteenth Young Master really alright?"

"Anyway, the tests didn't find anything wrong with me."

Nan Que'er gently shook her head, then whispered in Luo Qingyi's ear, "Besides, he's really good when we're intimate..."

Nan Que'er's voice grew softer and softer, while Luo Qingyi's cheeks grew redder and redder, though her eyes held a hint of anticipation.

The appearance of Nan Que'er made her feel a little threatened.

Nan Que'er is skilled in martial arts and has excellent medical skills.

If she couldn't even compare to Nan Que'er in that aspect, she was truly worried that she would fall out of favor...
