By the time the discussion was over, it was already late at night.

Luo Qin was so hungry. He had already consumed a lot of energy from riding and archery in the afternoon, and he hadn't eaten anything yet. How could he not be hungry?

On the way back, Luo Qin walked with his father and brother.

Luo Ji walked in front, and the brother and sister followed behind. When they reached a dark place, Luo Ji sent the servants away and ordered Luo Qin to come closer.

There was dim light at the corner. The old man looked at the graceful and elegant girl in front of him, and was filled with emotion.

Time flies so fast, it’s time for Ping'er to get married.

He felt deeply gratified thinking that she was just a tiny girl in the beginning, but now she has grown into such a charming girl, attracting the attention of the young men in Jiankang.

At first, he had no feelings for the child, but after raising him for so many years and teaching him carefully, he had already loved Luo Qin as his own child.

Now that his daughter has found her soulmate, he is even more relieved.

The old man said in a vicissitudes of life voice: "Ping'er, you and the eldest son of the Xie family..."

"Don't worry, Aye, he and I get along very well, and he treats his daughter sincerely."

"That's good, that's good." The old man smiled after hearing this.

Master Luo and his men only care about the benefits that Luo Qin's marriage will bring, but Luo Ji's first concern is Luo Qin's personal happiness.

At first, he had the idea of ​​using his daughter for marriage, but now, he has let it go, and his son has found a job in the army. He just hopes that his two children can be well.

Walking on the bluestone path, the three of them walked back slowly.

Luo Ji said slowly with his hands behind his back, "Ping'er, if Master Luo asks you to talk nonsense after we get married, and makes things difficult for you and your son-in-law, you don't have to worry about it."

The most important thing for Ping'er is the harmony between her and her husband. If Luo wants to rely on Xie for everything, it's okay once or twice, but after a long time Xie will get tired of it and implicate Ping'er, which is not worth it.

"Don't worry, Aye. My daughter knows what's going on."

If Luo wants Xie to promote one of their clansmen, they can easily do so. But what if he gets too ambitious and becomes a corrupt official? What should they do?

And she has already married Bo'an, so the reputation of the Xie family will definitely be affected.

Therefore, even though she has married Bo'an, whether the Luo family members can be valued or not still depends on their own abilities.

"Also, Master Luo said he wanted to adopt you..." The old man frowned and shook his head, "Forget it, let them do whatever they want. Anyway, Ping'er, you must remember that your brother and I will always be by your side."

"Yes, Ping'er understands."

Adopting her into the family was actually just to gild her status, give face to the Xie family, and strengthen the relationship between the Luo and Xie families.

Although the actions of Master Luo and his wife were indeed laughable, they were normal in this context.

Moreover, the main family protects the side branches. For example, when Aye was young and in poverty, the family was very disappointed with him but at the same time gave him money to help him. When necessary, the side branches would obey the arrangements of the main family, such as bringing Luo Qin and Luo Rou to Jiankang for marriage.

All these behaviors are normal in this context. If Luo Qin resists, she will appear to be ignorant and it will also damage her reputation.

Because in the eyes of people at that time, the side branches relied on the overall influence of the main family to obtain the status of aristocratic family and live a good life.

When Luo Ji was in Jingzhou, he failed to be selected as an official, but he was still a member of the gentry. Luo Qi and Luo Qin were also members of the gentry because there were other branches of the Luo family who served as officials, and they benefited from it.

If the Luo family had not had some influence, they would not have been elected as officials, and after two or three generations, they would have become a poor commoner family.

From this point of view, the side branches should be grateful to the main family. If Luo Qin claims that he has nothing to do with the main family, he would be a typical ungrateful person.

Outsiders would think that she had betrayed her own clan. If she even betrayed her own people, how good could this person's personal morality be?

Nowadays, reputation is taken very seriously. If Luo Qin gets the reputation of being an ungrateful person, she won't be able to marry into the Xie family.

Besides, after all, she was adopted by Master Luo and married as the legitimate daughter of the Luo family. Master Luo would have to give her a dowry, so she would not lose out.

Imperial Palace, Yongshou Hall.

Jin Zhao was furious when he came back.

In the magnificent palace, his anger erupted like a volcano, his face was red, his eyes flashed with anger, and his hands were clenched into fists, as if he wanted to smash everything.

"what--!"

With a roar of anger, he grabbed the objects around him and smashed them to the ground!

"Snapped!"

Precious vases and volumes of books were shattered by his violence, and the gorgeous gauze curtains were torn into pieces and scattered on the ground.

He staggered, his anger made him lose his mind, every step he took carried the power of destruction, and he raised his leg and kicked the table beside his feet away!

"Get out!!!"

His roar echoed throughout the palace, chilling people to the bone.

Inside and outside the hall, everyone was kneeling and trembling, and hurriedly retreated when they heard the angry scolding.

When everything was shattered, Jin Zhao's breathing gradually became steady. He looked at the destruction he had caused with his own hands, and a deep sense of disgust and fatigue rose in his heart.

He sat down on the ground dejectedly, staring blankly into the void. The ruins of the palace seemed to be a reflection of his soul.

Why……

Why do you also want to abandon me, Qin'er...

Am I not doing well enough?

I am clearly working hard for our future, why don’t you understand me, why can’t you sympathize with me, how can you abandon me?

Luo Qin, you have such a cruel heart!

He sat alone in the dim, empty hall, his eyes dazed, as if he had lost his passion for life.

Sweet memories of the past came flooding back to my mind, that smiling girl, that gentle hug, and those endless romantic times.

He remembered them walking together in the back garden, hand in hand, with the birds singing in their ears and the fragrance of flowers in their noses, enjoying the beautiful spring scenery together.

Her laughter was as clear as a silver bell, echoing in his ears and intoxicating him.

However, now she has left, leaving him wandering in loneliness. The more beautiful the memories, the more cruel the reality seems. He feels inner pain and helplessness, as if the whole world has lost its color.

He closed his eyes silently, trying to resist the pain brought by the memories, but those beautiful pictures kept flashing in his mind, every detail was so clear, her eyes, her smile, all pierced his heart like a knife.

The depressed man was immersed in the vortex of memories, unable to extricate himself and in great pain.

Why did Qin'er fall in love with someone else?

They were obviously in love with each other before.

Especially since that person is the heir of Chenjun Xie family!

One of the three great families he cannot afford to offend!

She really knows how to find it.

Jin Zhao felt sad, angry and hurt, especially when he thought of Luo Qin and Xie Jun being alone in the same carriage, with Luo Qin leaning against Xie Jun, so close to each other. Jin Zhao felt a dull pain in his heart.

Did Xie Yun hug Qin'er?

Did you kiss Qin'er?

We will sleep together in the future...

When I think of my beloved woman wearing wedding clothes for someone else and lying under someone else...

"what--!!!"

Jin Zhao roared again, venting the anger in his heart that was like a huge wave.

It was particularly clear in the entire empty hall, and the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling outside the hall shuddered.
