After the team that was returning to Beijing to report on their work had left and the crowd had dispersed, Luo Qin carried Changsheng Nu and drove back to Xie's Mansion in Wuyi Lane.

The next day, Luo Qin sent a letter to visit Luo Mansion and met his father and brother.

The room was filled with the aroma of tea. Luo Qin was kneeling on the couch, and Luo Ji was playing with his nephew on the mat with a loving face.

Changshengnu loved my grandfather very much. He hugged my grandfather and called out incoherently, "Grandfather~Grandfather~"

Luo Ji laughed so hard that his teeth showed and his eyes were invisible, and he hugged his little grandson to comfort him.

Luo Qin looked at the grandparents and grandchildren and smiled softly. After a while, she turned around and looked at Luo Qi opposite her. She saw that he was staring at Changsheng Nu in a daze for a long time.

She tentatively called out, "Brother?"

Luo Qi came back to his senses and saw his sister looking at him worriedly, "Brother, is there something on your mind?"

She found that her brother always looked dazed and absent-minded since he came back.

Luo Qi didn't say anything. After a while of silence, he said sullenly, "Ping'er, go out for a walk with me."

"it is good."

Luo Qin stood up, asked Pingyu and the wet nurse to stay, and took Rufang and Luoqi out.

When they reached the outside of the yard, Luo Qin signaled Rufang to step back, and she and Luo Qi strolled in the back garden.

It was hot in the middle of summer. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two of them found a place under the shade of a tree and sat down. Luo Qin asked, "Brother, have you been okay over the past year or so?"

Luo Qi opened his mouth, and after a long while he finally said in a hoarse voice, "Not bad..."

Luo Qindai frowned, "Brother, don't hide it from me. You are siblings, and I care about you..."

How come he looks fine in this state?

It's obvious that something big has happened!

Luo Qi still didn't say anything, his expression looked extremely painful.

Seeing this, Luo Qin speculated for a while, and finally asked carefully: "Brother, did you meet my sister-in-law on the battlefield?"

Luo Qi paused for a moment, then suddenly looked up at his sister, "You..." how do you know?

He hadn't finished his words when he saw his sister's look change from suspicion to understanding, and he realized that Ping'er had guessed it.

Luo Qi hesitated, then nodded under Luo Qin's puzzled gaze: "Yes."

"But she was on the Xianbei battlefield?"

Luo Qi's expression probably comes from seeing Yi Fran on the battlefield. The two are enemies and have different positions, so one of them must die, which is why this situation happened, right?

That one, Luo Qi shook his head and said dejectedly: "No."

"what?"

Not really?

Then, Luo Qi said slowly: "I did see Alan on the battlefield, but..."

"Just what?"

"But she was not in the Hu people's camp. She did not go to the Xianbei. She was taken away by the Yu family."

This is so!

"I couldn't find her at first, so I asked General Yu. He said he didn't know anything. I thought she was an undercover agent who left Jiankang and went to Xianbei. But the truth is that Yu took her away and secretly imprisoned her. When the war started, Alan was sacrificed."

He closed his eyes tightly, trying to erase the unbearable memory from the depths of his mind, but no matter how hard he tried, the thrilling scene still followed him.

He clearly remembered that when Yi Fran was escorted out, covered in scars, her eyes were empty and numb.

In front of the two armies, the soldiers waved their sharp swords and slashed at Yiflan's neck without hesitation.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, as if a blood-red flower was blooming in the air.

Luo Qi's eyes widened. Time seemed to freeze at that moment. The whole world became unusually quiet. Only the sound of blood flowing echoed in his ears. His brain instantly went blank. He couldn't think or move. He could only stare blankly at the shocking scarlet.

This scene became an indelible pain in his heart. Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, it would quietly emerge like a ghost, tormenting his fragile nerves.

But reason told him that this was the way it should be.

Yes, that was how it should be. Alan was a spy, and everyone knew it. They allowed him to pretend to have contact with her in order to get more Xianbei people out. Later, they found that it was useless, so Yu arrested her and put her in a dark cell to interrogate her...

But why couldn't he sleep day and night?
