The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Chapter 573 Unlock

Zhuge Congfeng crossed his arms and said rather proudly, "Not bad, it's worth our detour to come see you."

Ouyang Qianyu chuckled: "You are so stubborn."

"Please take your seats!" Qin Huiyin called out.

Four people sat down at the table and delicious food and wine were served.

"Brother Qiubai, how are you doing recently?" Qin Huiyin asked.

Ouyang Qianyu nodded. "Very good. Qiu Bai's health hasn't been very good these past few years, and he hasn't taken good care of himself. Although we've been opposing the imperial court for years, he's actually quite uncertain. Sometimes he even wonders if he dies, everyone will let go of their grudges and live a normal, peaceful life like ordinary people. He believes that because of his existence, the survivors of the aristocratic families feel hopeful about starting an uprising."

"He harbored hatred, but he didn't want anyone to take risks with him. Until he met you, even though he didn't know you were his biological sister at the time, he felt a lot more alive. Later, when you two recognized each other as siblings, he finally felt that there was still meaning in this world. Yinyin, you are very important to your brother. You are his hope and courage to live, so you must be well. No matter what happens, you must live well."

Song Ruize grabbed Qin Huiyin's hand.

She is not only Puyang Qiubai's belief in survival, but also his belief in survival.

Zhuge Congfeng said, "Before, when we asked him to take care of his body, he always refused to cooperate and refused to take medicine properly. Now it's different. He has been taking the medicine prescribed by Third Master and his complexion is getting better and better. What he looks forward to most is your letters. Every time you write to him, he will be happy for several days."

Qin Huiyin didn't expect Puyang Qiubai to be so looking forward to her letter.

"I was afraid of being discovered, so I only dared to send a letter once a month. I thought if I wrote too often, it would bother him."

"Don't worry, he won't be annoyed even if you write to him every day." Ouyang Qianyu said, "You don't have to worry about being discovered by others. The people who deliver the letters are all from Lord Song, and they know everything about us."

"Then I will send letters to my brother often in the future." Qin Huiyin said.

"Okay! By the way, I brought you some animal skins this time, like fox, leopard, tiger, and the like. Fox skin is the most beautiful for girls, whether it's white or red, it makes a great cloak. Your brother personally hunted it for you in the mountains."

"Thank my brother for me." Qin Huiyin raised her glass. "Today we are welcoming you and celebrating our long-awaited reunion."

The two girls had a lot to talk about, so Song Ruize pulled Zhuge Congfeng to drink, and they took turns drinking, neither of them willing to give in.

Qin Huiyin stopped the two men from doing what would have been a 'loss of life and death for the enemy' and asked the servants in the mansion to help Song Ruize go back to rest, and also asked someone to help Zhuge Congfeng go back to the guest room to rest.

"Sister Qianyu, you must have been exhausted from the long journey. Go to bed early today. We can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."

"Okay." Ouyang Qianyu said, "We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Qin Huiyin went to the kitchen to make some sobering soup and asked someone to send a bowl to Ouyang Qianyu and Zhuge Congfeng respectively. She took the other bowl back to her room.

Halfway through the walk, I saw a man sitting in the yard in a daze, while snowflakes were flying and sprinkling on his body, making his silver hair blend into the snowflakes.

She walked over, sat down beside him, followed his gaze, and asked, "Is there anything interesting here?"

"I just passed by here and heard the servants in the mansion say that the tree was planted by you two." Zhuge Congfeng said.

"Yes!" Qin Huiyin admitted generously. "That's the joy of marriage! Doing many things with the person you love. Those things don't have to be interesting or meaningful. What's important is the person next to you, not the things you do. Just like this, grow old together."

"Don't go around bragging about how happy you are, and how thankful you are to marry the person you love. If nothing had happened to our family, and we had grown up together, how would you know I wouldn't be the one you're drawn to? Don't you want to live an ordinary and happy life with me?"

"You've been stuck in a dead end, clearly able to get out, but unwilling to do so, as if that's the only way you can find your way. But that's not the case. You haven't left because you've lost your way in that dead end. As you said, that's indeed possible. This world has many sides, and perhaps where we live now is one of them. In another, it might just be the situation you described. Let's not look back, but keep moving forward, making the choices we want to make at every fork in the road, until we reach the end of our lives. This is the purpose of our lives, so why dwell on anything else?"

"We can't be childhood sweethearts, but we've become good friends. We still appreciate each other, don't we?"

"Call me brother, and you will be my real sister from now on." Zhuge Congfeng said.

"Brother Congfeng." Qin Huiyin looked at him with a smile, "From now on, you are my real brother. If you can't get married, I will take care of you in your old age."

"I'm going to marry... No, I'm going to be unwanted? Haha, as long as I, Zhuge Congfeng, am willing, there will be girls who like me lining up in a whole street."

"I believe it! You are so outstanding. There are so many girls with eyes in this world. There must be many who like you." Qin Huiyin said, "It's snowing. Don't sit here. Be careful not to catch a cold. I'll ask the servants to help you back to the guest room."

"I'll sit for a while." Zhuge Congfeng said, "You may not know... this mansion used to be the Zhuge family's residence."

Qin Huiyin was stunned: "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Zhuge Congfeng laughed. "Your husband is just born to be incompatible with me. He married my fiancée in my house, and even the place where you planted the albizzia tree is where I once planted a cherry tree for you. When you were a little over a year old, you already liked eating cherries, so I planted a tree there specifically, thinking that when it was full of cherries, you would have endless cherries to eat. Yinyin, I can let it go, it just takes time."

Zhuge Congfeng looked at her with a smile.

"I... am the heir of the Zhuge family. I have my pride and will not pester you. Just rest assured."

Qin Huiyin suddenly felt a little sour.

She had never seen what he looked like back then, but it was not difficult to imagine that he was a carefree young nobleman under the protection of his elders.

"You don't want to cry, do you? Hey..." Zhuge Congfeng said anxiously, "I don't want to make you cry!"

"I just feel sorry for you, my brother, and Sister Qianyu..." Qin Huiyin sniffed. "You were once the most dazzling people in the capital."
