Time flies, and soon it is the day for Shen Zhuang to visit Country S.

People were busy coming and going in Shen Garden. Except for Shen Qian and Shen Guiling, everyone else was present.

This trip to Country S was not only to resolve the Nanwan incident, but also to give an explanation for Bai Zheng's death. In order for the peace talks to go smoothly, the two countries arranged a full half month of negotiations.

Shen Zhuang felt that he had not been away from Hong Kong for such a long time since he semi-retired. He knew very well that none of the older family members were reliable. In order to avoid any trouble, he warned each of them one by one.

After teaching the older ones a lesson, they started to educate the younger ones. None of Shen Lanxi, Jiang Huashan, and Shen Mianzhi escaped.

Plum garden.

Gu He is packing Shen Qingyu's luggage for going abroad.

"Master, I heard that Country S is even colder than Country A. I've prepared a few warm coats for you, as well as this scarf. Remember to wear them when you get off the plane."

Shen Qingyu crossed his legs and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

Gu He was in a complicated mood. Ever since he came back, the young master had been lying in the plum garden, and he ignored everything he said. If he had known that the aphrodisiac would cause the master and servant to become estranged, he would never have dared to tell Old Madam Gu that the young master missed a woman.

In order to win back Shen Qingyu's heart, Gu He used all his tricks and was very attentive. "Master, this is the collection of videos I collected for you. This visit has attracted much attention from both countries. Master, you are so handsome, you will definitely cause a sensation."

Still ignored.

Gu He was extremely anxious. He looked around and opened the glass display case. "Young Master, you are precious. I'm afraid you are not used to using things from Country S. I will bring all your personal belongings, including the hand cream."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person on the bed jumped off the bed, and before Gu He could react, the hand cream in his hand disappeared.

"Who asked you to touch it?"

Shen Qingyu seemed to have grabbed a hot potato and threw it out of the window without thinking.

After throwing it away, he was silent for a few seconds, then put his hands in his pockets and left the room.

Gu He was confused. After he came to his senses, he immediately chased after him. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was confused again.

"Master..."

November is the time when Chinese hydrangea blooms at its peak.

Under the abundant white and green hydrangeas, the boy bent down to pick up the discarded knot of his heart and hid it carefully.

No one else is allowed to touch it.

He didn't touch it either.

"Where's Qingyu? Where did that guy go? We're about to leave, why haven't we seen him yet?"

The whole morning passed by with such a rambling voice that Shen Zhuang was so thirsty that he realized that there was one person missing.

Shen Zhi, "Master Qingyu has already gotten in the car."

Shen Zhuang was stunned for a moment. He looked at the three people opposite him in confusion, "Which of you offended him again?"

Ever since winning the competition, Shen Qingyu has been acting strangely, staying almost entirely in the Plum Garden. In the past, he could hear the throttle at the foot of the mountain before he even got home. Lately, his beloved Black Sound has been sitting in the garage, practically moldy, without him even glancing at it.

Now, he goes on a long journey and doesn’t even show up to say goodbye.

Shen Mianzhi shook his head, "I haven't seen Brother Qingyu for a long time."

Jiang Huashan spread his hands, "It wasn't me, he was the one who pushed me last time."

Shen Lanxi took a sip of tea calmly and said, "Grandpa, don't be nervous. Maybe... it's just the aftereffects of winning the competition."

So, it was still his fault?

Shen Zhuang's expression instantly became subtle. He coughed lightly and stood up. "Alright! Did you remember everything Grandpa told you?"

"I've got it." The three of them said in unison.

Shen Zhuang patted Shen Lanxi's shoulder heavily and said, "Grandpa is out. Remember to take good care of your younger brothers and sisters."

"Grandpa, don't worry."

Shen Zhuang turned to look at Shen Mianzhi again, "Please take care of Sui'er for grandpa."

Shen Mianzhi nodded, "Don't worry, Grandpa."

Finally, his gaze rested on Jiang Huashan, his eyes tolerant and doting, "What you want has been delivered to Juyuan. As I said before, don't hurt yourself."

Jiang Huashan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa."

The two days after Shen Zhuang left were peaceful, until the third day...

The Zhou family's housekeeper went to the mailbox to pick up the mail as usual. While filtering out spam messages, he suddenly found a file bag with a special military emblem printed on it.

The steward's expression changed slightly and he quickly walked back to the main building.

after an hour.

A woman's crying could be heard from the main hall.

Zhou Qishan knelt in the middle of the hall in her pajamas. Xu Wenpei was furious, hitting and scolding her. "Are you crazy? What kind of place is 313? Even the most powerful and influential people would be left with nothing but bones if they went in. What can't a girl like you do? Join the army?"

The slaps became louder and louder.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't bear it, so she stepped forward and pulled Xu Wenpei away, gently comforting her, "If you have anything to say, just say it nicely. Dad is still here, what are you doing?"

Xu Wenpei woke up as if from a dream and lay on the sofa crying bitterly.

Zhou Guochao said nothing as he flipped through the document in his hand word by word. Even after reading the last punctuation mark, he still had no emotion.

"You submitted the application for conscription?"

Zhou Qishan covered her eyes and said, "Yes."

"You're lying!" Xu Wenpei raged, pointing at Zhou Qishan. "I clearly threw those things away, how could you have mailed them out? Tell me! Who instigated you to do that?"

Zhou Qishan raised her head and met Xu Wenpei's gaze. "This is my own wish. No one instigated me."

"You evil girl!" Xu Wenpei was furious and threw the water cup on the table at Zhou Qishan.

Zhou Qishan turned sideways with a blank expression, and the water cup was emptied, with a loud bang echoing in the hall.

"You dare to hide?" Xu Wenpei was furious. He stood up and prepared to take action, but unexpectedly a cup of hot tea was poured on his face.

Xu Wenpei finally reacted and looked at Zhou Guochao in horror, "Dad, I..."

Zhou Guochao, "Eldest daughter-in-law, take the third daughter-in-law away first."

Mrs. Zhou quickly stepped forward to support Xu Wenpei, "Let's go."

Xu Wenpei did not dare to disobey and nodded repeatedly.

After the crowd dispersed, Zhou Guochao threw the documents in his hand to the ground. "Shen Lanxi's letter of recommendation? Did the Shen family send it for you?"

Shen family?

Zhou Qishan was obviously stunned.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be faking it, Zhou Guochao looked puzzled and asked, "Even you don't know?"

Zhou Qishan lowered her head and did not respond.

She really didn't know, she thought it was Su Miao. Because only Su Miao knew what Xu Wenpei had taken away at that time, so when the admission letter was placed in front of her, the first person she thought of was Su Miao.

Zhou Guochao closed his eyes. "Don't want to answer? Okay, second question, what are you going to do? You should know that even if the 313 admission form is delivered to your home, with just one word from me, it will be meaningless."

Zhou Qishan suddenly opened her eyes and collided head-on with Zhou Guochao, "Grandpa, do you want to kill me too?"

Zhou Guochao was stunned. This was one of the few times he lost consciousness in his life. "Do you think I'm going to kill you by not letting you go?"

"Yes!" Zhou Qishan's eyes were slightly red.

Zhou Guochao shook his head, "You don't understand how horrible war is."

Zhou Qishan: "I understand. But it's not as terrifying as being seen as an alien."

Zhou Guochao sighed, "Grandpa knows you have a knot in your heart, but you don't have to take such a decisive path. The Zhou family's canopy is already established, and even if you join the military, it won't change anything."

Zhou Qishan, "At least I can change myself."

"Grandpa, you love watching plays so much, and you love the heroes in the plays so much, why can't you let me perform to my heart's content for once?"

Her voice was choked with sobs, and she bowed down to the old man in front of her with her hands on her forehead.

Kowtow three times, "Please grant me your blessing, Grandpa."

Zhou Guochao said calmly, "Once you walk out of this door, the Zhou family will not give you any support. Even if you die, no one will collect your body."

Zhou Qishan closed her eyes, tears wet her face, "Thank you, Grandpa, for your help."
