Chapter Five

"Master," Chun Su was a little curious, "Why are you suddenly interested in the Seventh Young Master?"

In the past, Qin Peng didn't care about anyone, as if he could live his whole life alone. Wei Yan even made Qin Peng somewhat fearful, and faced with this younger brother-in-law, Qin Peng would avoid him whenever possible. So when Qin Peng suddenly asked about Wei Yan, Chun Su couldn't help but be surprised.

"I need his help now."

Qin Peng explained, "Naturally, I need to understand him more."

Chun Su smiled upon hearing this, looking a bit embarrassed, "The Seventh Young Master... this servant doesn't know much about him, probably just like other girls in Xuanjing know..."

Chun Su then began to talk about Wei Yan.

At the age of twelve, he went to the battlefield with his family. At fourteen, all the men in the Wei family died in battle, except for him, who survived because he was too young to participate in the siege. At that time, everyone thought the Wei family was going to collapse. Except for Qin Peng, the other five sister-in-laws remarried, leaving the Wei family desolate, with only the elderly Lady Wei supporting it. As for Qin Peng's role, it was negligible.

Who would have known that this fourteen-year-old boy, upon leading troops back to the battlefield, would become a legendary figure on the battlefield, almost terrifying the enemy on the southern front, becoming the guardian god of the Qi country's southern front.

He rose through the ranks to become the First Rank General of Zhen Nan with three hundred thousand troops under his command. As a result, the Wei family's position in Xuanjing soared. Since Wei Yan had no wife, rewards and gifts were bestowed upon Qin Peng and Lady Wei. The land, properties, jewels, and silver under Qin Peng's name added up to an amount even she herself didn't know.

Now, ten years have passed, and Wei Yan is twenty-four years old. Many families are eyeing this golden bachelor, waiting for him to marry. However, Wei Yan has been staying at the border and hasn't returned, saying that without a strong country, there is no strong family.

"However, everyone says that this time the Seventh Young Master is coming back to get married."

As Chun Su spoke, she blushed, and Qin Peng curiously looked at her, pretending not to understand the shy look on Chun Su's face, "Where did you hear this news?"

"Because the Baihui tribe surrendered, and the southern border is now stable. If the Seventh Young Master continues to keep so many troops at the border, the court might not be pleased. So the Seventh Young Master should return to Xuanjing."

"Now that the war has settled down, according to the Seventh Young Master's promise back then, he will definitely arrange his marriage."

Chun Su cautiously glanced at Qin Peng, who was holding a brazier in his hand. Seeing Chun Su's slightly expectant eyes, he couldn't help but chuckle, "What's with that look? Do you think I would offer you to Wei Yan as a concubine?"

"Master, please don't make jokes!"

Chun Su hurriedly replied, "How could the Seventh Young Master look at a servant like me?"

"Oh?" Qin Peng's eyes flickered with a smile, "Do you really think so?"

"Master..." Chun Su sighed, "The unmarried girls in Xuanjing probably all have such thoughts. But I know my place. The Seventh Young Master is like a cloud in the sky, and I dare not have any delusions. I only hope to serve the master until old age."
