In the Qin Dynasty, people changed the world by brushing entries

"That... it's all my damn charm!"

Yan Lingji opened her eyes wide and looked at Bai Yuan who was shaking his head and sighing, looking very shocked.

This guy is so thick-skinned!

Time passed quickly and it was time for dinner.

Zi Nu led several maids and brought up the prepared food.

"I kept you waiting!"

Bai Yuan waved his hand: "This delicious dish is worth waiting for. Miss Zi Nu must have worked hard for this meal!"

Zi Nu smiled softly: "I'm glad to know."

As she spoke, she picked up the wine jug and poured Bai Yuan a glass of wine.

After thanking him, Bai Yuan took the wine bottle.

The meal was naturally a great success for both the host and the guests.

Although Zi Nu's craftsmanship is not as good as Bai Yuan's, it is still top-notch among ordinary people.

Bai Yuan also praised it highly after eating it.

In order to entertain Bai Yuan, Zi Nu got up before dawn and was busy all morning.

Now that she has gained Bai Yuan's recognition, all her hard work is worth it.

After dinner, everyone sat in the room and chatted.

Zi Nu suddenly remembered something at this time.

"Mr. Bai Yuan, will you go to Xianyang after leaving Xinzheng?"

Bai Yuan was a little confused.

"Why do you ask?"

Zi Nu paused and sighed slightly.

"Han Fei discussed with us the future plans for Liusha last night."

"His entry into Qin is a foregone conclusion, so there is naturally nothing to say. Wei Zhuang plans to return to Guigu after Han Fei enters Qin to seek ways to become stronger."

"Zhang Liang chose to withdraw from Liusha. His family had been prime ministers in Korea for five generations. It can be said that his roots were in Korea, so we can all understand why he made such a choice."

"In the end, they all left. My Zi Lan Xuan lost its backing. It would be dangerous to continue running it, so I also planned to close it."

When Zi Nu talked about this, there was still a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.

After all, Zi Lan Xuan is the result of her hard work over so many years. Now that it has to be closed, she naturally won't be very happy.

"I said before that I would protect Zi Lan Xuan. In fact, you don't have to worry about anyone targeting you."

Bai Yuan was a little surprised by Zi Nu's decision, so he reiterated his promise.

Zi Nu smiled and shook her head: "Of course I believe you, sir, but you are far away in Qin State. If something happens in Xinzheng, I am afraid it will be too late to support you."

"So I thought about opening a new Zi Lan Xuan in Qin State. Although this means giving up the connections I have accumulated in Xinzheng, as long as you are willing to help a little, it will not be a problem at all."

Chapter 404 Han Fei: This family will fall apart without me

In the private room, everyone was surprised when they heard Zi Nu's explanation.

Even Nanyue couldn't help but open her eyes wide and cover her mouth.

Obviously, even Nanyue didn't know that Zinu had made such a decision.

Seeing Nongyu's surprised and puzzled expression, Zi Nu had a hint of apology on her face:

"I'm sorry, I only decided on this matter after careful consideration last night, and I haven't had time to tell you yet."

Nong Yu shook her head slightly.

"Sister Zi Nu, you don't have to apologize. I know you've worked very hard for us, but as a member of Zi Lan Xuan, Nong Yu also wants to share your worries."

When Zi Nu heard this, a smile appeared on her face, and she reached out and gently patted Nong Yu's hand.

"In fact, Nongyu, you have helped me a lot. You should know that Mr. Bai Yuan promised to protect Zi Lan Xuan because of you. Without Mr. Bai Yuan's promise, how could I dare to open a new Zi Lan Xuan in Qin State?"

Zi Nu said this and turned her gaze to Bai Yuan who was sitting aside.

"Eh? Because of me?"

When Nanyue heard this, she was stunned. Her face flushed and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Bai Yuan.

Seeing this, Bai Yuan immediately understood that Zi Nu must not have told Nong Yu about their conversation yesterday, so Nong Yu did not know about the Fire Rain Treasure, and it was obvious that she had misunderstood something at this moment.

Bai Yuan coughed lightly twice and wanted to explain, but when he saw Zi Nu winking at him, he swallowed the words and reorganized his words.

"If Miss Zi Nu really intends to take them to Qin, I will provide you with some help."

Seeing Bai Yuan say this, Zi Nu finally showed a satisfied smile.

"Mr. Bai Yuan's words are enough. When we go to Xianyang, we will have to trouble you."

Bai Yuan waved his hand gently to indicate that it was okay.

After sitting in Zi Lan Xuan for a while, Bai Yuan and Yan Lingji stood up and said goodbye and left.

Zi Nu personally escorted the two to the door.

After Bai Yuan and the other two left, Zi Nu gathered the sisters in Zi Lan Xuan and told everyone her decision to close Zi Lan Xuan.

I originally thought they were just temporarily suspending business today, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye they would be closed permanently.

For a moment, these little girls were a little at a loss and looked at Zi Nu nervously.

Zi Nu pressed her right hand, signaling everyone to listen to her quietly. "I have considered closing Zi Lan Xuan and heading to Qin for a long time. From today on, Zi Lan Xuan will no longer be open. During this time, everyone should have a good rest and pack up. We will leave Xinzheng soon."

"Sister Zi Nu, we have been doing business in Xinzheng for so long. Isn't it too risky to just give up everything here and go to Qin?"

Some people are still very confused.

Zi Nu's expression turned serious: "It's more risky to stay. According to my information, Ye Mu has already regarded Zi Lan Xuan as a thorn in their side, but at this stage, other things have attracted their attention, so they haven't taken action against us yet."

“If they wait until night falls and they are free, they will definitely not let Zi Lan Xuan go.”

If there was really no other way, Zi Nu would naturally not make such a decision. After all, if she left like this, it would mean that all her years of hard work would be wasted, and anyone would feel unwilling to accept that.

Everyone realized that the situation was not as good as they had imagined, and they all agreed with Zi Nu's decision.

They were just some miserable people. If it weren't for Zi Nu, they would have died long ago. Therefore, they were used to listening to Zi Nu's opinions and had no opinions of their own.

After Zi Nu explained the situation clearly, she let them go.

Afterwards, Zi Nu left Nong Yu alone.

Among all the sisters, Zi Nu loves Nong Yu the most, and her relationship with Nong Yu can be said to be closer than that of real sisters.

Therefore, Zi Nu also cares about Nong Yu's feelings.

"I made this decision so abruptly this time, even though you and Madam Hu have only known each other for a short time."

In the room, Zi Nu held Nong Yu's hand, her face still full of apology.

"Sister Zi Nu, what are you talking about? Now that my mother has my aunt to help take care of her, I am relieved. Besides, I am willing to go to Qin State myself."

As Nong Yu spoke, Bai Yuan's face appeared in her mind.

She thought that since Bai Yuan had left Xinzheng, it would be very difficult for her to see Bai Yuan again. Who knew that Zi Nu would make such a decision.

If they went to Xianyang, not to mention being able to see Bai Yuan every day, at least they would be much closer to Bai Yuan and would have a greater chance of seeing him.

Therefore, Nongyu was actually a little secretly happy in her heart.

Zi Nu looked at the expression on Nong Yu's face and knew what she was thinking.

The two have been together for so many years since they were young, and Zi Nu knows Nanyue very well.

"You, you! Just don't regret it."

Zi Nu also knew that Nanyue was trapped. As a sister, she could only wish Nanyue happiness.

Nong Yu blushed slightly and nodded.

On the other side, not long after Bai Yuan returned from Zilanxuan, he went out again to look for Honglian.

After Han Fei told him about Honglian yesterday, Bai Yuan knew that he could no longer pretend he didn't know and that he should go talk to Honglian in person.

Bai Yuan sneaked into the palace with ease and soon arrived at Honglian's bedroom.

At this time, Honglian was sitting in the pavilion in the yard, supporting her chin in a daze.

Anyone who saw her like this would feel that something was wrong.

The palace maids standing aside were also muttering in their hearts.

"The princess hasn't practiced swordplay much in the past few days. She always sits there in a daze and has no appetite. Could she be sick?"

Bai Yuan used the "He Guang Tong Chen" technique to hide his figure. After only not seeing Hong Lian for a few days, he saw that she looked much more haggard. For a moment, Bai Yuan felt a little guilty.

Sighing in his heart, Bai Yuan deliberately released a trace of sword intent, pulling the wooden sword that Honglian placed next to the stone table.

With a clatter, the wooden sword fell to the ground, attracting Honglian's attention.

Honglian was stunned for a moment, then leaned over to pick up the wooden sword.

As soon as Honglian got the wooden sword, he felt an extremely familiar feeling.

The wooden sword trembled slightly, as if sending her some signal.

A hint of surprise immediately appeared on Honglian's face.

"I want to practice swordplay for a while. You all should go down first! Do not disturb me without my permission!"

When the palace maids heard Honglian's sudden order, they looked at each other in surprise.

Then they left here quickly.

As soon as these palace maids left, Honglian began to look around impatiently.

Bai Yuan raised his hand and appeared in front of Honglian.

Honglian held the wooden sword, bit her lip lightly, pretended not to care, and turned her head away.

"You...why are you here?"

Bai Yuan looked at the girl, his lips trembling slightly.

"I came to see you. It's only been a few days since we last met. You've lost weight. Have you not been eating well these days?"

Honglian lowered her head and pouted.

"I just haven't had much appetite these days."

Looking at Honglian like this, Bai Yuan sighed and walked forward.

"Honglian, that...I promise you, I will not let your father marry you to anyone else."

"Hmm...eh?"

Honglian nodded subconsciously, but then her face was suddenly full of confusion, and her face instantly turned red as if it was burning.

Honglian looked shy, turned her back, clenched the corner of her skirt with her fingers, and could not hide the smile on her lips.

"Why did you suddenly say something like that? I'm not mentally prepared."

Honglian never thought that Bai Yuan would suddenly run up to her and say such words.

Bai Yuan walked up, held Honglian's shoulders, and asked her to look at him.

"Han Fei told me about you yesterday. I learned that you drank to drown your sorrows because of me and got yourself drunk. Then I knew what I should do."

"I shouldn't avoid your feelings for me. I like you, Honglian."

With a snap, the wooden sword in Honglian's hand fell to the ground.

Honglian was a little confused, but she heard Bai Yuan's last sentence clearly.

For a moment her mind went blank and her whole body was like a cooked lobster, with her pretty face flushed red.

Am I dreaming?

Honglian looked at Bai Yuan and felt that it was a little unreal.
