Chapter 2

"Brother, I..." Li Hua's words were cut off. "Who dares to take my little sister?! I will cut them into shapeless! I challenge you!" Qingyuan said angrily.

Everyone there fell silent at Qingyuan's actions and words. This was Qingyuan's first time being angry at someone. Where did the polite young master Li go.

"Your father has agreed to this. You as a child do not deserve to disobey his orders. You must not be rude!" angry Liqiu. "Is this his father's arrangement or his concubine arrangement?!" Qingyuan said furiously. "You're getting more and more impudent!" said Liqiu was about to slap Qingyuan in the face but her hand was held back by Qingyuan.

"If you slap me, you'll embarrass yourself. Mother, you've crossed my line." Qingyuan said flatly. "I punished the rebellious child. What's the harm?!" Liqiu said angrily.

"Calm yourself, Madame Li. Not good for your health." Said the 3th prince, Su Donghai. "You are also brother, don't go against your mother. Your mother only wants the best for your little sister. Don't be stubborn." persuade the 3th prince.

"Best? An unemployed person is a good match for my sister?" Qingyuan asked looking at the 3th prince angrily.

"Bingwen, bring that man here now." Qingyuan said to Bingwen. Bingwen who was originally at the back of the crowd dragged a man in front of Qingyuan and made the man kneel there.

"This is the man you are going to marry my little sister, isn't it? Take a good look!" Qingyuan said angrily. "If it wasn't for someone telling me, I would still be an idiot and agree to this!" Qingyuan said angrily.

Liqiu was shocked. This was the man who proposed to Li Hua but why did he dress like a destitute. "You said you wanted to say something?" Qingyuan asked crouching down after releasing his grip on Li Hua.

Li Hua recovered slightly from her shock so Qingyuan could let her stand on her own. "I called off the wedding." The man said before running away. Bingwen was about to give chase. "No need to chase, send him 20 rolls of silk and a bag of money." Qingyuan said flatly.

Bingwen nodded. "Good mother." Qingyuan quipped in annoyance.

"Why are there so many people at the door?" asked Eunuch Mu. "Replying to Eunuch Mu, there is a little problem already solved." Qingyuan said politely.

"Eunuch Mu, why are you here?" asked the 3th prince still shocked. "Bringing His Majesty's written decree." Eunuch Mu said respectfully.

Li Qing ran out hugging Qingyuan's feet. "Brother, I miss you." Li Qing said innocently. Qingyuan smiled.

"Lord Zhang please accept the decree." Eunuch Mu said firmly. Everyone immediately knelt down.

"His Majesty the Emperor bestowed Li Qingyuan, Li Hua and Li Qing to use the surname Zhang from his maternal grandfather. His Majesty also bestowed a Mansion in the city center for the newly appointed Lord Zhang who could be live with his two brothers. orders that without the consent of General Zhang and Lord Zhang no one can arrange marriages for young lady Zhang and young master Zhang. Done." said Eunuch Mu.

Qingyuan received the decree. "His Majesty live a long and healthy life." Qingyuan said. "Since I'm done, I'll be going home. His Majesty asked you to come to the palace tomorrow." said Eunuch Mu. "Servant received orders." Qingyuan said seriously. Eunuch Mu then left.

Everyone disbanded after finding nothing interesting. Only Zhang Hua, Zhang Qing, 3th prince, Liqiu and Qingyuan remained.

"It's no good staying at the door. Better go inside." said the 3th prince kindly. Qingyuan brought Zhang Hua and Zhang Qing in.

@gathering room

Li Muyuan sat there chatting happily with Hong Qiu, Jianyu and Xiuying.

"Why are you still here? You should go to your husband's house?!" Xiuying said angrily. Qingyuan looked at Xiuying flatly. "Father, A Hua and A Qing as well as me are moving out today. Just came in to tell you this." Qingyuan said coldly.

"You're getting more and more impudent! He's your father! You must respect him!" Liqiu said angrily. "You never appreciate grandfather yourself, I learned from you." Qingyuan said flatly.

A slap hit Qingyuan's face. Qingyuan laughed loudly. Liqiu looked surprised. This is the first time to slap Qingyuan.

"I was only 10 years old when you sent me away. I came back 6 years later and this is what you guys did. That outside there was an emperor's decree and no one came out." said Qingyuan laughing.

"You got to where you are thanks to your father. You should be grateful for that." said Liqiu did not like his son's behavior. "My current position is earned with my own flesh and blood. When I was in a coma, did anyone get worried and ask how I was doing? Grandpa at the border sent me medicine. The capital is far from the border, I can understand but other than you guys are angry with me today. Have someone ask about my wound? Nothing. You guys still deserve to be called mom and dad?!" Qingyuan said angrily.

Everyone was silent. “My little sister and little brother at least tried to send me a letter even His Majesty the Emperor sent me a letter so I wouldn't have to rush back.” said Qingyuan laughing sadly.

"Brother, calm down. It's not that they don't care but..." 3th's words were cut off as Qingyuan looked at him with a piercing gaze. "What's so great about you? You only win the war, so can I." Jianyu sneered.

Qingyuan laughed mockingly. "Let's go. In this house nothing belongs to us." said Qingyuan taking Zhang Hua and Zhang Qing away. "You may go but Li Hua and Li Qing stay." said Liqiu was about to take Zhang Qing from Qingyuan. Zhang Qing shrunk deeper into Qingyuan's embrace. Zhang Hua retreated behind Qingyuan. "In case you forgot, they are now Zhang Hua and Zhang Qing. Where do I go? Then they will be there." said Qingyuan tightening his embrace on Zhang Qing. Zhang Qing hugged back tightly.

Liqiu was about to snatch Zhang Qing and Qingyuan avoided her. "You're getting more and more impudent. How can you teach your sister such a bad thing!" Muyuan said angrily. "It wasn't big brother who taught us but your injustice that made us see clearly other than big brother who loves us sincerely. You guys are just a joke." said Zhang Hua angrily.

"Brother, running away won't solve the problem. Better sit down and talk." the 3th prince said soothingly. "There's nothing to talk about. I've made it clear." Qingyuan said flatly.

"His Highness the Crown Prince arrived." Eunuch Hu said. Everyone immediately knelt down. "Stand up." said the Crown Prince, Feng Ge entered. "Brother, why haven't you moved yet? I looked for you there but couldn't find you." Feng Ge said worriedly.

"I said goodbye before going there." Qingyuan said honestly. Feng Ge looked at the people behind Qingyuan before pulling Qingyuan away. Zhang Hua followed Qingyuan and Feng Ge in silence. Liqiu was annoyed and chased after Qingyuan followed by the 3th prince.

"Who does he think he is? So annoying." Jianyu said annoyed. "Watch your mouth. He's at least the Crown Prince." Muyuan warned Jianyu. "It would be good if the 3th prince became the crown prince." Jianyu grumbled.

"Be careful with your mouth. If they hear your head will fly." Hong Qiu's advice. "I'm just saying my opinion." Jianyu said nonchalantly.

The moment Liqiu arrived at the gate. Everyone has left. "Mrs. Li, calm down. I will try to persuade brother for you." the 3th prince said sincerely. "Thank you, 3th prince." Liqiu said moved.

---Zhang Family Mansion---

Zhang Qing descended followed by Zhang Hua. Both are very enthusiastic about their new home. "From now on we will live here?" Zhang Qing asked happily. Crown prince Feng Ge came down and looked at Zhang Qing smiling. "Of course. Are you happy?" Feng Ge asked.

Zhang Qing nodded enthusiastically. Qingyuan had not gotten off the carriage yet. He quietly slipped his hand into his armor. "blood." Qingyuan muttered under his breath after pulling out his bloodied hand. "My wound is open again. I have to hold it in." Qingyuan muttered under his breath.

Qingyuan took his handkerchief and wiped the blood off his hands before putting it back. No one can know the wound is open again.

Just arrived at the gate and Qingyuan fainted. "Older brother!" shouted Zhang Hua and Zhang Qing panicked. Feng Ge looked surprised by the collapse of Qingyuan.
