After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

"Okay." Qin Yan agreed immediately.

Even though he has always been mature and steady, he couldn't hide the joy between his brows this time.

The court struggles have always been cruel. When he learned the news, he once wanted to rush to the capital.

But Zhou Zijing stopped him, and he knew very well that it would be useless for him to go there with his status.

At most, he could go to prison to fulfill his filial duty and stay in jail with his parents.

In the end, he endured it. He longed for power and to stand on a high position instead of being manipulated by others.

During this period, Qin Yan was under unprecedented pressure.

Now he can breathe a sigh of relief. His family members are indeed very capable.

"By the way, Junior Sister Yueying brought some roasted lamb, which is perfect for drinking." Zhou Zijing put his arm around his shoulders and thought.

"Well, let's buy some more beef." Qin Yan was rarely generous.

He can't be said to be stingy on a daily basis, but he is also simple.

When it comes to food, just focus on balanced nutrition and don’t pursue extravagant food.

He would usually refuse invitations to dinner from classmates.

He would only attend a few gatherings where the venue was cheap.

"Sure, ahem." Zhou Zijing nudged him with his arm. "We've eaten Junior Sister's roast lamb, should we invite her to join us?"

Qin Yan remained calm.

"Although I'm not pedantic, without the presence of elders, we have too much contact with Junior Sister in private, which is detrimental to her reputation."

In the eyes of most people, men and women should not touch each other.

He didn't particularly agree with this, but he had to admit that once this kind of thing was brought up, the woman would bear more of the blame.

"If you are grateful to my junior sister, you can find a chance to return the favor later." Qin Yan suggested seriously.

Zhou Zijing's eyes widened.

"Brother, are you pretending to be stupid or are you really stupid? This roasted lamb is given to me by Junior Sister, nominally, but it's actually for you!"

"The bird's nest, venison, and other things you've been eating these past few days were all sent by Junior Sister."

The junior sister was worried that Qin Yan was under too much pressure and that studying would ruin his health.

Qin Yan looked at him with some confusion.

"Why? You are the senior brothers and sisters."

After entering Luming Academy, the two of them showed their talents one after another and won the appreciation of the dean of the academy.

Later, Zhou Zijing was defeated by the dean and became his last disciple.

As for Qin Yan, the dean confiscated him, but allowed him to often follow Zhou Zijing to give small classes.

Gong Yueying is the dean's youngest daughter. She has been enlightened since childhood, well-read, gentle in temperament, but quite opinionated.

Zhou Zijing opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Because he found that Qin Yan really didn't seem to understand.

Over the past six months, the junior sister has been approaching him cautiously, the two of them have occasionally talked about poetry and books, and the junior sister has been secretly showing her affection. Didn't this guy notice anything?

Is he a blockhead or just not smart enough?

Zhou Zijing took a deep breath.

We can't break this window paper.

"No reason, my junior sister is just bored and is asking for trouble."

Qin Yan frowned: "Brother Zhou, how can you say bad things about a girl behind her back?"

Zhou Zijing was so angry that he simply ignored him and walked forward with big strides.

He wondered if Qin Yan still didn't understand the feeling of young love?

He needs help.

Well, I'll find some books for my good brother to read later.

You're so old, it's time to get married.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened on the way back to Huai'an Prefecture, and the carriage arrived safely.

Outside the city gate.

Fang Nanzhi looked forward to it and finally saw a familiar carriage.

She immediately ran over: "Dad! Mom!"

"Ugh!"

The couple both stuck their heads out of the car window.

The car was pulled over.

The family of three huddled together next to the carriage.

Of course, it was mainly the daughter and Qian Fengping who were holding each other, and Fang Tong restrained himself and touched the daughter's head.

Why does he feel like his daughter has grown taller after not seeing her for two months?

"Dad, when you were in jail, did they torture you? Did they ever see the tiger bench or pepper spray?"

"No." Fang Tong said unhappily.

Why did he feel that the second half of the question was a bit expectant? Is she his biological daughter?

"Mom, you've lost weight. It must be that Dad didn't take good care of you."

As the little girl spoke, her eyes were red and she looked heartbroken.

Qian Fengping quickly comforted her.

"I'm fine. I can eat two steamed buns for one meal, and sometimes I can even have meat."

In fact, apart from the poor living conditions in prison, they didn't suffer much.

I didn't do any work at all. I just ate and chatted all day, and occasionally got scared, but that was all.

The couple are both ordinary people from the lower classes and have experienced hardships, so they don’t think such days are difficult to endure.

"Mom, I'll take your pulse and take good care of you when we get home." Fang Nanzhi's eyes were watery.

Fang Tong snorted twice in anger.

How did his daughter become so partial? She must have learned it from Mr. Fang.

He was unwilling to give in, so he went up to her.

"My daughter, Dad has lost weight too, his face is sallow and pale, have you noticed?"

Fang Nanzhi looked at it carefully, reached out to touch it, and nodded.

"Dad, you're old, not as young as before."

Fang Tong was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but fortunately his daughter was only slightly leaking air.

"I'll prepare an ointment for you. In less than half a month, I guarantee you'll return to your position as the most handsome man in Mushan Village."

"Okay, do it well. Dad makes a living by his looks."

After a brief conversation, the family of three got on the carriage and went into the city first.

Wu Dongjia had already separated from them, and someone came to pick him up, so he was anxious to go home and rest.

The carriage went straight back to the Qin family.

After the officers and soldiers withdrew from the gate of Zhou's house, Mr. Zhou sent someone over to help clean it up.

There is not much dust in the house, which saves a lot of trouble.

Fang Tong was making a fire, and his daughter insisted on sitting next to him and passing him firewood.

It can be seen that although the little girl didn't say it, she was very worried in her heart and was a little clingy to her father for a while.

The father and daughter sat by the stove and chatted.

"But thanks to Mr. Zhou, Dad will visit him tomorrow and give him a big gift."

Fang Tong felt that if it weren't for Mr. Zhou's consideration, Lord Lin would have put his daughter in jail as well.

What good can come from it for the little girl to go into the cell alone?

"Well! Dad, will my second uncle officially become an official when he comes back this time?" Fang Nanzhi's eyes sparkled.

"He's an official now. People in the capital call him Major General. Just listen, how impressive." Fang Tong raised his chin proudly.

"Many people say that Second Brother has a bright future. He's a natural born general!"

When he was in the capital, he always heard people talking about the Major General.

He wanted to keep a low profile at the time, so after hearing it, he could only secretly rejoice in his heart.

Now that I’m home, of course I have to share this with my daughter.

"I wonder if Second Uncle can come back after he becomes an official? He should be considered a successful official now." Fang Nanzhi scratched his head.

"Dad doesn't know either, but generals either train troops in the capital or station troops in various places. Unlike Dad, although his official position is small, he can travel everywhere, which is more convenient."
