You must know that at home, except for the old man, no one is so cautious about Huo Yunqian.

Qin Ruan's way of caring will make him feel like a useless person.

Whether it was his father, second uncle, or cousin, when he was most seriously ill, they only cared a little about him and treated him as a minor illness.

Qin Ruan's excessive worry has seriously ignored a man's self-esteem.

Knowing that she was unintentional, Huo Yunqian didn't take it to heart.

But a small voice in his heart told him that one day this girl would regret what she did today.

The two of them walked hand in hand to the rest area in the hall.

The servant brought the fruits after the meal and placed them in front of Qin Ruan.

Huo Yunqian sat next to her, gently touching her bulging belly with his hand, feeling the activity of the two children in her belly.

His voice was slightly lowered, and he returned to Qin Ruan's question just now: "There will be no shortage of six aristocratic families. If the Nangong family is destroyed, a new aristocratic family will take over."

"Can it still be like this?" Qin Ruan felt confused about this.

In her previous life and this life, she has never stepped into the circle of power and knows nothing about it.

Seeing Qin Ruan's interest in these things, Huo Yunqian slowly whispered in her ear: "The Fu family in the south will soon enter the capital, and they will become one of the six aristocratic families in the capital."

Qin Ruan knew about the Fu family in the south.

One of the largest families in the south, equivalent to the local emperor.

The Fu family is also considered the overlord in the south, with its influence spread throughout the southern territory.

Qin Ruan blinked, unable to recover.

The overlords in the south are accustomed to occupying high positions. Will they be willing to be subordinate to others when they come to the capital?

Qin Ruan's eyelashes are a little long and a little warped.

The way she blinked was reflected in Third Master's eyes, and he saw that his hands were a little ready to move, wanting to reach out and touch her long eyelashes.

Huo Yunqian inadvertently looked away, restrained his hands, and continued: "My grandfather intends to arrange an engagement between my second brother and Miss Fu Si."

The sudden news made Qin Ruan a little confused.

She looked speechless and asked in a low voice: "Brother Rong and Miss Fu Si have never met, right?"

Huo Yunji nodded: "The Huo family has no contact with the Fu family."

That is to say, I have never seen it.

Qin Ruan felt vaguely sympathy for Huo Yirong: "Isn't this an arranged marriage?"

Hearing that her embrace was unfair, the third master chuckled: "We haven't decided yet. We won't be able to decide whether we want to get engaged until the Fu family comes to Beijing and the second brother meets Miss Fu Fourth."

"That's okay. Relationships need to be cultivated by two people. A marriage without emotions is always unsatisfactory."

Qin Ruan stood from Huo Yirong's perspective and put himself in his shoes.

Huo Yunji raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and a hint of deep meaning appeared in his deep eyes.

"Then Ruan Ruan is with me, is it okay?"

"..." Qin Ruan opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Looking at the smiling eyes of the third master, the gentle and doting look on his handsome face as always, she pursed her lips and smiled.

Qin Ruan said firmly: "I am different from the third master."

She stretched out her hand to touch Huo Yunqian's hand on her belly and said softly: "We have a child."

This answer did not satisfy Mr. San.

The corners of his raised lips were slightly depressed, and the tenderness in his eyes turned into calm.

What Qin Ruan means is that if there were no children between them, there would be no current marriage.

Qin Ruan was completely unaware of Third Master's dissatisfaction.

She pressed the other person's hand and felt that the child in her belly was moving very actively.

They seemed to be swimming in the belly, turning back and forth.

Huo Yunqian also felt it.

His calm expression showed a soft expression, and he stroked the child back and forth in the direction of its movement in the belly.

While the two were enjoying the warmth brought by their children, Huo Yunqian released another news.

"Ruan Ruan, Xiao Wenrou is engaged to the eldest son of the Fu family. The engagement ceremony will be held the day after the Fu family comes to Beijing. I am not physically able to attend, so I have to trouble you to make the trip for me."

Qin Ruan's lips twitched slightly.

If her memory is correct, Xiao Wenrou had just married Nangong Chang not long ago.

Now that Nangong Chang has just died, this woman is getting engaged to someone from the Fu family.

This news was really disillusioning, and my outlook was slightly shaken.

An inexplicable light flashed in Qin Ruan's eyes: "The Xiao family wants to marry someone from the Fu family?"

She couldn't think of any other purpose besides marriage.

An aristocratic family that has been in the capital for many years hastily got engaged to the Fu family who wanted to move to the capital, and it was bound to be profitable.

Huo Yunji hoped that Qin Ruan could have a deeper understanding of the major families and aristocratic families.

He told the inside story of the marriage between the Xiao family and the Nangong family: "Xiao Wenrou married Nangong Chang to take advantage of the Nangong family to consolidate the Xiao family's status in the capital.

Now, the purpose of marrying with the Fu family is the same. Of course, if the Fu family stays on its own terms, the Xiao and Fu families may become real in-laws, which will be the best result.

If the Fu family is like the Nangong family, and Xiao Xiang has things that he shouldn't have, the Xiao family will also step on this family's head to stabilize the family's position in the capital."

Qin Ruan frowned slightly, with a complicated expression: "Why do the Xiao family do this? Do they want to climb on top of the four major families?"

Huo Yunqian's thin lips curved in a reserved arc, the warmth in his eyes faded, but his voice was still so gentle: "The Xiao family is loyal to the Huo family."

Qin Ruan didn't know what he thought of, and his expression changed slightly.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and said bluntly: "Because Xiao Wenrou likes you?"

Huo Yunji flicked Qin Ruan's forehead, but the force was not too strong.

He laughed and said, "What are you thinking? She doesn't like me."

Qin Ruan covered his bullet-hit forehead and moved his body back to avoid the man's attack again.

She curled her lips and complained: "Xiao Wenrou has admitted it herself. She has liked you for many years, and last time you showed off your power to me at home."

She looked like someone had taken away her belongings, looking both naive and domineering.

Huo Yunqian thinks Qin Ruan is quite cute like this.

A charming smile appeared on his lips, and he asked softly: "Does Ruan Ruan like me?"

Qin Ruan thought for a while and said uncertainly: "I think I like it."

Hearing this, the curve of Huo Yunzhen's lips widened. He explained warmly: "If you like someone, you won't publicize it like Xiao Wenrou does. She just uses my name to build momentum for herself."

Qin Ruan: "What kind of momentum are you creating?"

Huo Yunqian hugged Qin Ruan's waist and rubbed her skin with his fingertips from time to time: "It can help her avoid getting too deeply entangled with the person she is marrying.

Xiao Wenrou is a very smart woman. She knows what she wants, and she also knows that the family is on the edge of a cliff and may overturn at any time.

To escape from the cliff, she has to make a lot of sacrifices, such as marriage, and the marriage needs to have a gimmick that allows her to escape at any time, and I became her protective umbrella."

Having said this, the third master paused.

He rubbed his eyebrows and told Qin Ruan about the bad things in the past: "I remember back then, when Xiao Wenrou had just grown up, she was obviously afraid of me, but she still came close to me.

For this reason, he also created various misunderstandings about his deep love for me, causing other people to have misunderstandings.

The incident that made the whole city famous was when she took the initiative to invite me to dance an opening dance with her at a banquet. At that time, she was so scared that her legs were trembling, but she still insisted on finishing the dance.

From then on, under Xiao Wenrou's propaganda, everyone in the capital thought that she was in love with me, and very few people knew that this was just a show."

"Maybe it's true."

Qin Ruan pouted.

She felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Xiao Wenrou's entanglement with him from the third master's mouth.

Xiao Wenrou's arrogance back then still impressed her deeply.

She really didn't see anything fake about that expression of undiminished love and loyalty to the Third Master.
