793 Brother-in-law (6)
Shen Qiu sighed. “If the Ministry of Justice doesn’t come up with a solution, the commoners will have a hard time.”
The crown prince was locked up in prison. On one hand, the emperor of the State of Qin was demanding an explanation, and on the other hand, Emperor Wen Hui was reluctant to give up on his eldest son, so the people were the ones suffering.
“The unpeaceful days are going to last for quite some time.” Luo Ling shook his head. “No matter what the outcome is, I’m afraid the capital will be in chaos.”
The two of them looked at each other and saw the worry in each other’s eyes.
Shen Qiu said, “Let’s not talk about this. Yesterday, I heard from my mother that we have to start thinking about my sister’s marriage again. Although we don’t have to worry about the crown prince for the time being, the more chaotic the situation is, the more people will want to use the Shen family. My sister’s identity is special, so it’s inevitable that people will covet her. If we don’t settle the marriage as soon as possible, it will be much harder in the future.”
When Luo Ling heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Before he could speak, he heard Shen Qiu continue, “Cousin, what’s on your mind?”
“Me?” Luo Ling blushed slightly. “Don’t you already know what’s on my mind?”
Shen Qiu sighed and put an arm around Luo Ling’s shoulder. He said, “You’re a martial artist after all. You grew up in the army with your father. Why do you speak like those vulgar scholars?” He said, “I think you’re good at everything, but you’re thin-skinned. Why don’t you go and talk to my sister about your feelings? Do you want her to take the initiative to look for you?”
Luo Ling smiled awkwardly.
Shen Qiu said patiently, “My sister looks gentle on the surface, but she’s actually the most proud and stubborn. If you want my sister to take the initiative to look for you, I’m afraid you can forget about it. As a man, if you like her, you should just go and tell her.” Shen Qiu looked at Luo Ling critically. “I’ll be happy to see you becoming my brother-in-law.”
Luo Ling was even more embarrassed to hear that. He said, “For that to happen, Cousin Miao has to agree first…” 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚
“If you don’t tell her, how will she know what you’re thinking?” Shen Qiu glared at him. “First of all, you have to find a chance to explain to her what you’re thinking. Cousin, I’ll tell you the truth. Su Mingfeng used to be sick, so I don’t like him. Feng Zixian, tsk tsk, last time, the Feng family almost caused my sister to be killed by bad guys. You’re the best among them.”
“Thank you for saying that, Cousin Qiu.” Luo Ling smiled and said, “If there’s a chance, I will definitely…”
Just as Luo Ling was about to say something, he saw a horse suddenly run over from the other side of the street. The horse coat was shiny, and it was dazzling even in the dim street in the evening. Shen Qiu and Luo Ling could not help but be attracted by the horse.
The person on the horse was also heroic. From afar, he looked extraordinary. When the person approached Shen Qiu and Luo Ling, he suddenly stopped the horse. The horse raised its front hooves, but the person on it sat extremely steadily. Clearly, his horsemanship was outstanding. Shen Qiu couldn’t help but shout, “Good horse!”
The person on the horse said, “Young General Shen.”
Shen Qiu was stunned.
A person was sitting on the horse. His luxurious purple-gold robe became more and more visible under the light of the lantern. His figure was tall and straight, and he was wearing a silver mask, revealing a beautiful outline. His chin was smooth, and his thin lips were slightly curled. His eyes cast down with a faint smile.
“Prince Rui!” Shen Qiu and Luo Ling quickly bowed to this person. They had all seen Prince Rui at the tribute.
Prince Rui said, “You’re welcome. I thought I was mistaken, but I didn’t expect it to really be you, Young General Shen.” He only spoke to Shen Qiu and did not look at Luo Ling.
Shen Qiu was a little flattered. Prince Rui was someone who treated Emperor Wen Hui indifferently, but he actually took the initiative to greet him? Moreover, he spoke so politely. Shen Qiu couldn’t help but feel a little smug.
Could it be that even Prince Rui of the Daliang Dynasty had heard of his heroic acts and admired him?
However, he did not see Luo Ling’s suddenly pale face.

There was a safety pendant hanging on Prince Rui’s waist. It was inexplicably familiar.
