The Prodigal Son

That evening, Qin Yu and the others had a meal at the Prime Minister's residence before leaving.

Upon returning to his residence, Qin Fumeng summoned Qin Yu to his study.

"From now on, I will enter the palace at least every three days and serve as a palace attendant in peace!"

Qin Fumeng cut to the chase and made his demands to Qin Yu.

"Why should I?!"

Qin Yu jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "His Majesty has already promised me that as long as she doesn't summon me, I can..."

"Because my fists are bigger than yours!"

Qin Fumeng brandished his fist, the size of a sandbag, like a bully.

"I……"

Qin Yu's face twitched violently, then he simply lay down on the ground. "Old man, if you have the guts, kill me!"

Isn't it just because they're stronger than me?

We absolutely cannot let him get away with this habit!

Otherwise, he could threaten me with his fists for anything in the future!

Damn it, it must have been Song Zhuo who gave the old man that advice!

"Oh?"

Qin Fumeng laughed, "Trying to play the rogue with me, huh? Don't you know I'm the granddaddy of rogues?"

"Don't give me that crap!"

Qin Yu glared at Qin Fumeng with wide eyes, "Old man, I'm warning you, if you push me too far, I'll go and court death in front of His Majesty! If I don't make things a complete mess for you all, I'm not your grandson!"

"You beast!"

Qin Fu roared angrily and raised his fist to strike Qin Yu.

Knowing he was no match for the old man, Qin Yu simply curled up into a ball.

beat!

He refused to believe that the old man could kill him!

However, Qin Yu waited for a long time, but the old man's fist did not fall.

Qin Yu peeked out from between his elbows and looked at the old man in surprise.

"Get up!"

Qin Fumeng lightly kicked Qin Yu, trying to suppress his anger, and said in a calm tone, "If you obediently listen to me, I won't control you anymore!"

Ok?

Qin Yu was overjoyed and immediately got up from the ground. "You mean, you're not letting me abstain from sex anymore?"

If that's the case, then this matter isn't entirely unnecessarily undiscussable.

This is definitely not because he is lecherous; he simply doesn't want to be controlled even in such a small matter.

He's an adult, and he'll decide for himself whether or not he should do that kind of thing based on his own physical condition.

"Look at you, so pathetic!"

Qin Fumeng kicked him irritably, his face darkening. "That's what I say, but listen to me carefully: if you dare to indulge in women all day and neglect your duties, I'll hang you from the roof beam to dry in the wind!"

Am I that kind of person?

Qin Yu immediately put on a Sichuan opera face-changing act, grinning and leaning closer, "How about this, I'll go to the palace every seven days and serve as a palace attendant for one day, how about that?"

"Don't push your luck!"

A fierce glint flashed in Qin Fumeng's eyes. "If I didn't trust Nan Que'er's medical skills, I would never have used this trivial matter to negotiate with you!"

Ugh!

After all, they are young people full of vigor and passion.

He was young once too!

It's really not good to be so abstinent all the time!

Both Luo Qingyi and Nan Que'er are quite good.

Having these two girls to be intimate with him is better than him running off to a brothel one day when he can't resist anymore.

Qin Yu looked at the old man with a grin, "That's not right! You already believe in Nan Que'er's medical skills, yet you still..."

Before Qin Yu could finish speaking, Qin Fumeng raised his fist, the size of a sandbag, once again.

"That's it, five days! Every five days, I can peacefully serve as the Palace Attendant!"

Qin Yu, settling for second best, complained bitterly to Qin Fumeng, "You know my personality! I go to the palace too often, which makes me more prone to making mistakes. You don't want to be implicated by me every now and then, do you?"

Qin Fumeng lowered his brows and pondered quietly.

That's true!

He knew very well how this beast was good at causing trouble!

If he really causes trouble for His Majesty every now and then, he'll be driven crazy with headaches sooner or later!

That's it!

Let's do as he says!

Thinking of this, Qin Fumeng finally relented: "Five days it is then! But you'd better remember my warning! In your spare time, read more military books and study military strategies and formations! The sons of the Qin family will eventually go to the battlefield!"

"well!"

Qin Yu readily agreed, "Thank you, Grandpa."

"Get the hell out of my sight!"

Qin Fumeng waved his hand impatiently, "If you weren't the only heir in the Qin family, I would have beaten you to death!"

"Alright, alright, I'm leaving now. You should get some rest!"

After Qin Yu finished speaking, he immediately made his escape in high spirits.

"etc!"

Qin Fumeng then called out to Qin Yu, "Call Qingyi and Que'er here. I have something to tell them!"

"Um?"

Qin Yu stopped and looked at Qin Fumeng suspiciously. "Old man, you're not going to try to pull a 'feigned attack while secretly advancing' trick on me, are you?"

"What the heck?"

Qin Fumeng was puzzled.

Qin Yu clicked his tongue, "What you mean is, you say on the surface that you won't interfere in my affairs anymore, but behind my back you're threatening those two in all sorts of ways."

"Get lost!"

Qin Fumeng's eyes widened like a bull's. "I'm not so lowly as to be so tasteless!"

"Bullshit! You talk like you're so sophisticated."

Qin Yu curled his lip.

Seeing that the old man was about to explode, Qin Yu immediately took off running.

Watching Qin Yu slip away faster than a rabbit, Qin Fumeng's face was fierce, but in his heart he chuckled and cursed: "You beast."

Ugh!

In any case, this beast is so much better than before.

I really don't need to control everything he does.

As Song Zhuo said, we should let go of these young people when necessary.

We must give young people the opportunity to make mistakes!

While these old guys are still around, they can still cover for the young people when they make mistakes and help them learn from their experiences.

They manage everything, and the young people grow into the obedient children in their eyes. They can foresee the crisis in everything they do, and their growth path is smooth sailing.

But what if these old guys are gone one day? How will these young people, who haven't been tempered enough, cope with crises from all sides?

No matter how successful their generation is, the future belongs to these young people!

Back in his courtyard, Qin Yu asked Nan Que'er and Luo Qingyi to go to the old man's study.

As the two headed to the old man's study, Qin Yu secretly followed them to eavesdrop.

However, just as Qin Yu sneaked to the outside of the study, Qin Fumeng roared from inside: "You beast, you'd better get out of here right now, or I'll beat you up!"

Depend on!

How could this be discovered?

Qin Yu glanced reluctantly at the study, then returned to his courtyard dejectedly.

The old man didn't talk much with the two women.

A little over fifteen minutes later, the two women returned to the courtyard.

Qin Yu immediately called the two women to his room and asked curiously, "What did the old man say to you?"

"Let Qingyi tell you!"

Nan Que'er smiled and left quickly before Qin Yu could react.

Under Qin Yu's persistent questioning, Luo Qingyi finally revealed what had happened.

Qin Fumeng didn't say much to them, only telling them to do their duty and not let Qin Yu become too dissolute.

In addition, Qin Fumeng told them that the Qin family could not give them a formal title at the moment, but he would treat them as his granddaughters-in-law.

From now on, the affairs of the manor will be handled by Luo Qingyi.

As for Nan Que'er, she can learn to handle the affairs of the manor if she wants, or she can focus on practicing martial arts if she doesn't.

Upon hearing Luo Qingyi's words, Qin Yu was overjoyed. He pulled Luo Qingyi into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her...
