In the mining site’s office, Qin Huai and All Yu were sitting side by side, with Chi Jia and Chi Gou standing behind them. Across from them was the Eldest Prince, Qin Qin, who was half-lying on the bed.

Both sides had been silent for a long time, not knowing how to speak.

It was Wang Sanlang who found some fresh fruits outside and placed them on a plate. He also added a few cups of freshly brewed tea and brought them in.

“If you don’t like it, i’ll get someone to look for something else.” After Wang Sanlang came in, he specially said to All Yu, “Just now, I saw many berries growing on the hill over there. When we’ve saved most of the people, we’ll go and pick them for you.”

Ah Yu said, “Third Brother, you don’t have to worry about me.”

Wang Sanlang waved his hand and said, “When we left, your sister-in-law specifically instructed me to take good care of you when we arrived in Wanning City. She said you’ve worked hard following us, and I must ensure your well-being. Otherwise, i won’t be able to explain it when i return.”

He said it very smoothly, as if he had forgotten that he and Wei Qianying were only engaged and had yet to be officially married.

When Ah Yu heard that it was Wei Qianying’s idea, she still had to give this new sister-in-law some face. She could only say, “There’s no need for a lot. Just a little is fine. I’ve grown up, so 1 can’t eat children’s snacks.”

Everyone looked at her again.

Then, they understood that Ah Yu was already at the age where she would emphasize that she was an adult.

After this interruption, the originally awkward room was finally not so suffocating.

The Eldest Prince was the first to speak. He first looked at Qin Huai. “Previously, I heard that this year’s Top Scorer is a young and promising youth. I didn’t believe it at the time. Now that I’ve seen you, 1 can see why. It’s obvious that you’re a great talent.”

As he spoke, the Eldest Prince’s eyebrows rose with a smile. “Speaking of which, Royal Mother is your aunt. I think you look a little similar to Royal Mother.”

Qin Huai and Empress Qin didn’t look alike, but if the two of them stood together and asked the others to look for similarities between them, they could still find some.

The most similar thing was the gazes of the two of them when they were expressionless. They were simply carved from the same mold, carrying a solemnity that repelled people.

“Right, right? I think so too. Big Brother All You is very similar to Auntie Empress!” Seeing that Qin Huai was unwilling to answer this topic, Ah Yu could only break the awkwardness to prevent the Eldest Prince from forming a grudge. “Eldest Prince, you live in the inner palace, so you must have seen Auntie Empress. We didn’t go to the palace again recently. 1 wonder how Auntie Empress is doing now. Is she recovering well?”

Hearing All Yu addressing the Empress like that, the Eldest Prince was stunned for a moment before he reacted. This little girl should be Qin Huai’s little fiancee.

Ah Yu’s name was still a little famous among the nobles in Wanning City for no other reason than that this little girl was very capable. She had kidnapped the noble young master of Duke Yong Manor to travel. At that time, when many teachers in the academy heard about her, they all called her a femme fatale.

Moreover, which young lady would still appear in public after being engaged? Shouldn’t she stay in her room from now on and learn etiquette and poetry? Shouldn’t she learn from her mother how to be a good lady of the house and wait to be married into her husband’s family?

But this little girl was different. Perhaps it was because she came from the countryside and didn’t understand these rules, but she really took away the young man that the teachers thought highly of.

However, many people of the same age as Qin Huai or only three or four years older were all very tired of him. When they thought about their betrothed fiancees or the girls in the city, none of them could compare to the rumored young fiancee of Qin Huai.

It was not about poetry, etiquette, or family background. It was just that even men felt inferior to her in terms of courage.

The Eldest Prince was one of them.

Of course, the main reason why Ah Yu became famous was because of some crazy things Qin Huai had done over the years.

Among them, the most infuriating was a wealthy young man who spoke arrogantly and insultingly about Qin Huai, using vulgar words to talk about All Yu.

The next day, everyone realized that the rich Young Master had been stripped naked and hung on the city gate.

That was not all. His mouth was strung up with very thick wire, and his ears were cut off. He was trembling in fear. He didn’t even have time to feel ashamed before he fainted from fear.

Later on, everyone guessed that Qin Huai must have done this because he went straight to the door of that Young Master and said to him, “If there’s a next time, I’ll make sure you can’t hear or speak..”
