After being forced into a marriage with a wealthy family, the virtuous wife caused a huge uproar.

"Sigh!" Rong Zhengqing sighed deeply. "It is our Rong family that has wronged him. Yingluo, Young Master Qin and your eldest sister were engaged for two years and were supposed to get married in a few months, but the Gu family petitioned the emperor to grant the marriage, thus ending your eldest sister's marriage to him."

A few days ago, he said he had to go on a long trip, and I guess he just returned to Beijing today and heard the news, so he came to see me. You'll have to comfort him about this. He has a deep bond with your eldest sister; you'd better make him give up on the idea.”

Rong Zhengqing was also helpless.

"Okay, I'll go see him." Rong Yingluo wanted to test whether this prospective brother-in-law was worth her sister entrusting her life to.

The last time she went home, her older sister had mentioned this young master Qin, whose name was Qin Yan.

The two also share a bond forged through a life-saving act. Once, the elder sister, accompanying her father on an outing, rescued the injured Qin Yan, thus beginning their unbreakable connection.

Rong Yingluo lifted her skirt and ran out, her eagerness truly resembling that of someone rushing to see her long-lost lover.

The two met at the Moon Gate. Their eyes met, and Rong Yingluo's eyes welled up with tears. Her heartbroken appearance was so convincing that no one could tell she was faking it.

This was the first time she had seen Qin Yan, and she hadn't expected him to be so handsome. No wonder her older sister had committed suicide in a fit of anger.

Such a handsome and affectionate young man, it's no exaggeration for the eldest sister to love him dearly.

"Liuli!" Qin Yan's voice choked with emotion.

"Yanlang!" Rong Yingluo called out affectionately.

Qin Yan could no longer hold back, and disregarding Ying Hong's presence, he pulled Rong Yingluo into a tight embrace.

"Liuli, it's all my fault. I came back too late. I shouldn't have left," Qin Yan said, his voice trembling with tears.

Rong Yingluo was moved, but it wasn't enough.

"Yanlang, a servant is passing by. Let's go to the garden to talk." Rong Yingluo nudged him.

"Okay." Qin Yan reluctantly let go of the person.

The scene of the two embracing was witnessed by Gu Ce, who was hiding in a tree.

It turns out she had someone she loved, and their relationship was so good. Even though she was already married, she still dared to throw herself into a man's arms, which shows that when love runs deep, one can't help oneself.

He couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart. He wasn't jealous, but he also felt a strange sense of unease, as if someone was eyeing something he didn't have.

But he also felt that he had no right to pull the person away.

He had no feelings for that woman, and it was uncertain whether she would survive.

But it was this unpleasant feeling that made him secretly follow them again.

Rong Yingluo led Qin Yan to a pavilion in the Rong family garden.

There was no one around to hear what they were saying.

Yinghong also kept a distance, leaving them space to be alone.

She knew that the second young lady was pretending to be the eldest young lady to appease Young Master Qin, and hoped that the second young lady would not be exposed.

Before Rong Yingluo could sit down, Qin Yan pulled her into his arms again.

"Liuli, come with me, okay? I can take you away from the Southern Xia Kingdom," Qin Yan said urgently.

"But what about my family?" Rong Yingluo frowned.

Is he a reckless person who only cares about himself and doesn't consider the consequences?

"I can take the Rong family with me. We'll go to Dongyue Kingdom, and I can settle you all in comfortably," Qin Yan assured him.

Rong Yingluo stepped out of his embrace and looked at his face carefully. She didn't realize what was going on until she looked, and then she saw the problem.

This man was no ordinary businessman. She could tell from his appearance that he was no ordinary person and had the face of someone of great wealth and status. She wondered if he had told her older sister his true identity.

But she didn't want to ask. She didn't know how her older sister and he got along, and saying too much would give her away.

"Yanlang, my Rong family has lived in the capital of Nanxia for generations. My father will not agree to leave with you."

"Besides, this is where my Rong family ancestors are buried. They cannot be without descendants to worship them, so you'd better not say this to my father." Rong Yingluo sensed his sincerity, but she would not agree to the Rong family leaving the capital city where they had built their fortunes for generations.

Going to a strange place means starting all over again. It's unnecessary for the Rong family to make such a huge sacrifice for their daughter.

"Liuli, four brides have died in the Gu family. I'm worried you'll follow in their footsteps. What will I do if you die?" Qin Yan's love was as deep as the sea.

"Yanlang, if I have a way to get a divorce, will you still want me?" Rong Yingluo asked tentatively.

"You are the love of my life, how could I not want you? Do you need my help?" Qin Yan took Rong Yingluo's hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it.

"Don't you mind that I've been married before?" Rong Yingluo's hand froze at his action. She wanted to pull it back, but she was afraid he would discover the difference between her and her eldest sister.

"You had no choice but to get married, it's not your fault."

"What if my body isn't clean either?" Rong Yingluo added another strong dose of medicine.

This is something that every man in the world would care about.

"Liuli, it's my fault for not protecting you. If I hadn't gone on this long trip, I would have married you before the imperial decree was issued. It's all my fault."

"I don't care about anything else, all I care about is whether you can grow old with me." Qin Yan's words were full of affection.

From the moment they met until now, Rong Yingluo has been very satisfied with his performance.

But you can't completely trust what a man says; you have to test him further.

Rong Yingluo took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom and took out a small black pill from it.

"Yanlang, I'm afraid what you said today is a lie, so if you take this pill, I'll believe you. And I'll do everything I can to get a divorce as soon as possible so we can be together forever." She held the pill up to Qin Yan.

"What is the effect of this medicine?" Qin Yan took the pill and smelled it.

"The poison will be gone if you take the antidote every three months. I will give the antidote to my father, and you can ask him for it regularly. I will try to get a divorce within three months, so you must wait for me." Rong Yingluo looked at him affectionately, waiting for his decision.

"Okay, I'll take it. You saved my life, so it's only right that I return it to you." After saying that, Qin Yan put the pill in his mouth and swallowed it.

Rong Yingluo praised his decisiveness.

He was indeed deeply in love. She could now entrust her eldest sister to him with peace of mind.

I hope that my elder sister and he will live in harmony and grow old together.

The two were deeply in love in the pavilion, which annoyed Gu Ce. His eyes turned cold, and he stopped looking and drifted away.

He would give a divorce decree to a woman who was forced into marriage, if she survived.

He disdained to be husband and wife with a woman whose heart belonged to another.

Even if a mere merchant's daughter has her heart set on him, she is not worthy of him.

It's even better that she has someone she likes.

His coming and going are unknown to anyone.

Seeing that Qin Yan had actually taken the medicine, Rong Yingluo, who was in the pavilion, was very satisfied with the result of her test, so she no longer needed to pretend.

She suppressed the deep affection in her eyes, sat down on the stone bench, and gestured for Qin Yan to sit down as well.

"Young Master Qin, would you mind telling me your true identity?" Rong Yingluo suddenly became serious, her gentle and graceful demeanor replaced by a sharp edge.

Qin Yan was startled, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

Suddenly, he swiftly reached out and grabbed Rong Yingluo by the neck: "Who are you?"
