After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

What a great way to share honor and disgrace! Qin Hanlin thought with a painful heart, her fingers tightly grasping her skirt.

Mother Qin said, "Hanlin, do you want to see your family being trampled underfoot? Do you want to see your father embarrassed in public and your brother beheaded?"

Qin Hanlin no longer had the energy to confront them, and could only say in his heart: "Now, I am being trampled under the feet of my family first."

She suddenly felt extremely pathetic.

Father Qin pulled Mother Qin up and said, "Stop talking. Hanlin is a sensible child. She knows what to do."

He then said to Qin Hanlin: "Hanlin, just go for it, your family will support you."

Qin Hanlin sneered. He forced her to die, and now he's saying he's backing her up?

Seeing that she was silent, Mother Qin said, "If it doesn't work out, you can also marry the richest man in Anrun City. Our family is a distant relative of his, so we can talk to him."

Qin Hanlin couldn't hold on any longer. She had seen and heard of the richest man in Anrun City as they were talking about, because he was notorious.

He was nearly fifty years old, had countless concubines and maids, and had numerous children, one of whom held a high position in the cabinet.

Rumor has it that he has a tendency to abuse people, and countless bodies have been carried out of his house. If she marries him, she's afraid she won't survive a day.

She found it extremely ironic that her parents' second choice for her was to become a concubine of such a man!

For a moment, Qin Hanlin didn't want to see them anymore and leaned back with his eyes slightly closed.

The two talked for a few more minutes, and when Qin Hanlin didn't answer, he got up and left without even helping her up from the ground.

Qin Hanlin sat on the cold floor with his arms around his knees.

Moer came in from outside and said as he ran, "Miss, why are you sitting on the ground? Be careful not to catch a cold."

She helped Qin Hanlin up and looked at her face carefully: "Miss, what happened just now? Madam Qin and the others...looked very bad."

Qin Hanlin sighed, walked to the cabinet next to her, and took out two purses, which she prepared for her father and mother.

"Miss, do you want Mo'er to take it to the master and mistress? I think they haven't gone far." Mo'er said.

Qin Hanlin shook her head. She took out a pair of scissors and cut the purse into pieces, almost hitting her fingers.

Mo Er was so scared that he quickly stopped her and said, "Miss, be careful with your hands!"

Qin Hanlin dropped the scissors, slowly sat down on the ground holding a bunch of rags, and Mo'er squatted down with him, feeling distressed.

She patted her knees with her slender hands, and her tears wet the make-up on her face.

"Mo'er, Mo'er, I have lived under the shackles of my family all my life. I have no other choice." Qin Hanlin cried.

Mo Er patted her back gently and said, "Miss... Mo Er is with you, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Qin Hanlin buried her head in her knees and wiped the tears from her face. She raised her head again. Everything in front of her was blurry and her mind was even less clear. She felt only a gloom.

Xia Nian's cold figure flashed through her mind, and she cried, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't want to... I..."

Moer hugged her and cried, "Miss..."

At night, Xia Nian had just finished taking a shower and was sitting on the bed reading the letters sent to her by Meng Yin and Tao Tao.

She read it back and forth several times. Meng Yin talked about the recent situation and asked about their recent situation, while Tao Tao replied to the content of the letter she had written and added a list of contraceptive pills.

Meng Yin wrote to them individually, not in response to the letter she wrote. It seemed that she had not received the letter she wrote yet.

Just as Xia Nian finished writing her reply, Xia Hou Yu came in.

He walked forward and hugged her, gently sniffing her fragrance.

Xia Nian stretched out her hand and motioned for him to pick her up.

Xiahou Yu picked her up with a smile, and Xia Nian instructed: "Go to the dressing table, I need to get something."

Xiahou Yu did as she was told, and Xia Nian took the jade whistle that Yiqing gave them.

It's still early, maybe they haven't slept yet, Xia Nian thought, and blew it.

They blew according to their age. Xia Nian was the oldest, so she blew once, Xu Zheng twice, Meng Yin three times, and Tao Tao four times. This way they would know who had not responded.

After waiting for a while, the whistle suddenly sounded four times, but the sounds were short and quick, and I didn't know what Tao Tao was doing.

Seeing Xia Nian frowning and looking at Yu Shao, Xia Hou Yu said, "Ah Nian, I just wrote to Pei Xuanxi and the others today. They will reply in two days."

Xia Nian nodded, without taking his eyes off the whistle, and blew it again in response.

After waiting for a long time, there was still no sound, and Xia Nian felt more and more uneasy.

"Did he fall asleep?" Xia Nian muttered.

She thought about it and felt that A Zheng might have fallen asleep, but as for Yin Yin... she might still be with Gu Ling and did not notice the whistle.

Xiahou Yu said: "Anian, there are a lot of things to do after you succeed to the throne. Once they are resolved, you can reunite."

Xia Nian nodded slightly and said, "Aren't you reunited? In a sense, you are still brothers-in-law."

Xiahou Yu was stunned. It was really the case.

He secretly complained: "I actually became brothers-in-law with those three guys. I never thought in my dreams."

Xia Nian looked at him, and Xia Houyu immediately smiled, hugged her and threw her onto the bed.

It was just daybreak. Tao Tao remembered that today was the day Yiqing was going to get the jade slip, so she got up early and went to his room.

She gently pushed the door open. Yiqing was getting dressed with his upper body naked. His thin back could be clearly seen.

Tao Tao lowered her head quickly, slammed the door shut, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I should have knocked in advance."

Yi Qing held the clothes in his hand, saw her red ears, coughed twice, and said, "It's okay, it's okay to see it."

"Put it on quickly." Tao Tao said, covering her face with her hands.

Yiqing suppressed the urge to tease her and quickly put on his clothes.

"Get dressed."

After hearing the sound, Tao Tao slowly raised her head and saw that he was really dressed, and the blush on her face faded away.

Tao Tao walked forward and helped him adjust his belt: "Be careful on the road."

Yiqing lowered his head and looked at her, saying, "Okay, Ah Shuo will stay. Just assign him to do whatever you want. Wait for me to come back."

Tao Tao said softly: "Okay, don't think about me all the time."

She waved her hand, motioning him to bend down so that she could help him adjust the crown that tied his hair.

Yiqing pursed his lips and looked at her serious expression. When she put her hand down, he suddenly put his arms around her waist.

"What's wrong?" Tao Tao asked.

Yi Qing said, "A Tao, don't think you need to confess. With your current status, they don't dare to touch you. As for Pang Ren, I will deal with him when I come back."

Tao Tao said, "I know, don't worry." She put her hands on Yi Qing's cheeks and stood on tiptoe to kiss him.

Yi Qing's ears turned red instantly and he coughed a few times. His easy-to-bully look made Tao Tao couldn't help but pinch his chin and shake it.

After Yiqing left, Tao Tao had breakfast and called A Shuo over.

Ah Shuo cupped his hands: "Madam."

Tao Tao looked at him and said, "A Shuo, is Pang Ren still in the dungeon?"

Ah Shuo nodded, "Yes." His expression changed slightly, "Madam, don't worry. When the young master comes back, it will be considered good if he is not whipped dozens of times."

Tao Tao smiled and said, "Okay, but I'm afraid there are still his accomplices in the sect, so I'll ask you to strengthen the defense."

Ah Shuo clapped his hands and said, "Madam, you are right to think so. Pang Ren deserves to die. Even if the young master handles it privately, no one will say anything."

Tao Tao said: "A Shuo, you are right. I was too obedient before. I didn't know that the entire Qianji Sect was behind it. Besides, Pang Ren already had countless enemies. Everyone is happy without him."

Ah Shuo nodded vigorously, feeling infinite emotion in his heart: Madam has finally figured it out.

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'll go check it out in a while." Ah Shuo said.

After A Shuo left, Tao Tao took Mo Yun to find Mu Jin. Mu Jin was in confinement after giving birth, and Tao Tao planned to make some nourishing food for her.
