He just glanced at his brother indifferently and did not speak immediately, but he felt funny in his heart.
He knew his brother the most.
He was a man in his twenties but had never been a woman.
He also blamed that his marriage was delayed because of the year-long urgent war.
But he suddenly came out to get married.
Was he sick?
"Get married?
Great!
Where is the bride now?"
Wen Zhuo's face flushed all the way to his ears.
"It's...
it's the autumn fruit you threw into the river!"
"Puff." Wen Han sprayed a mouthful of tea onto the map.
"Nonsense, are you making me angry with a hobby of Longyang to throw him into the river?"
"It's...
Ah?
No, it's not big brother!"
Wen Zhuo nodded and quickly shook his head.
"Big brother, you misunderstood me.
Actually, she, she is a girl, and I just knew about it.
When I changed clothes for her, I accidentally saw what I shouldn't have seen, which ruined the girl's reputation.
So I...
so..."
The voice was getting smaller and smaller, and finally, it was as unclear as mosquitoes and flies.
The face of Wen Zhuo was like a tomato, and he didn't look like a general at all.
Wen Han sneered in his heart, "Girl?
A girl dressed up as a man?
You said there was no purpose.
Good girl, just take your time!"
"Well, we can only get married after the girl agrees.
Let's think about it later.
Let's study this battle first!"
F*ck*ng pervert!
"Ah, ah, ah." She dramatically stretched herself.
She had such a sweet sleep this time!
"Uh...
you...
you're awake?"
Upon realizing that Wen Zhuo was standing at the door like a flagpole, and for some reason, his face was still red, Qiu Guo could not help but sit up in amusement.
"Have you covered your face with tomato sauce?
Or are you sick?
Did you bring me out of the river?"
Wen Zhuo's face turned even redder, and he quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at the fruit.
"It's my elder brother's fault.
I took him to apologize to you.
Little...
um...
Miss Qiu, don't blame him!"
"Eh?
Did he know?"
Qiu Guo Guo smiled awkwardly and scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Wen Zhuo, I didn't mean to lie to you.
You've always misunderstood me as a man!"
Looking down at the changed clothes on her, Qiu Guo finally understood why Wen Zhuo's face was so red.
"You...
You, you, I changed your clothes for you!
But don't worry, Miss Qiu, I didn't do anything...
No, no, I mean...
"
Seeing that Wen Zhuo was so nervous that he was at a loss, although Qiu Guo Guo also wanted to crawl back into the blanket shyly, she thought that Wen Zhuo was also kind-hearted enough to help her.
As a woman of the new age, she could not be unreasonable!
"Thank you, Wen Zhuo!
There's no need to say anything else.
I understand!"
Wen Zhuo was puzzled by the fruits' performance.
What about the expected crying?
Or the expected forced marriage?
Just like that?
I've ruined her reputation!
You're not blaming me, but thanking me?
"Don't worry, Miss Qiu.
I, Wen Zhuo, am someone responsible.
I will definitely marry you!"
Marry?
Qiu Guo looked at Wen Zhuo in surprise.
It couldn't be, could it?
Could it be that she was just helping him change his clothes and that he was going to marry her?
"Wen Zhuo, you don't need to bear any psychological burden.
I understand that you had no choice but to do so because you wanted to help me.
If you had not helped me change my clothes, I would definitely have fallen ill by now!
Most importantly, there was no skin contact between us, so there's no need to talk about whether I should marry you or not."
"But, but your reputation has been destroyed by me.
I should be responsible!"
Since dead wood could not be carved, Qiu Guo Guo had to continue enlightenment.
"Don't say 'but'.
In short, I won't blame you, and you don't need to take any responsibility, okay?"
Wen Zhuoyu was speechless...
Qiu Guo Guo jumped out of bed and tidied up her clothes.
"I'm going back to my tent.
Bye-bye."
Qiu Guo quickly left Wen Zhuo's tent.
She did not want anyone to discover her panic!
Wen Zhuo was left alone in the tent, still in a state of shock...
Every night before falling asleep, Qiu Guo would make a prayer.
She hoped that when she woke up, she would lie on the big bed at home.
Every night, her mood would be like a lonely swan flying in the evening, hiding in the night and hiding in her thoughts!
The smile on her face could be seen by others, but who would know the pain in her heart?
Hiding in the night, hiding in the lonely thoughts, leaning against the wall alone, making bitter tears quietly flow down her cheeks.
Night, sleepless...
Unfortunately, she had prayed for a long winter, but she still woke up every day in ancient times.
Winter in the Northeast was very cold.
Unexpectedly, it was even colder in ancient times!
The cold wind was unscrupulous, making the branches and leaves rustle.
The cloudy sky was always covered with dark clouds and was full of gray.
Fortunately, the tormenting winter was finally coming to an end!
"The winter in Ning Domain is very beautiful.
It's not like here!"
Wen Zhuo smiled as he handed a bag of oil tea to the autumn fruit.
Then, he raised his head to look at the grey sky together with her.
"Brother Zhuo, you seem to be very happy today.
Is there something good to do?"
After a few months of getting along, Wen Zhuo and Qiu Guo were getting more and more familiar with each other.
Without any awkwardness and restraint, they became close friends.
When it came to friends, Qiu Guo Guo felt like she was family.
Wen Zhuo doted on her like an older brother, which made her heart feel warm.
"Dang, I have good news to tell you.
We will soon be able to go back to Ning Domain......"
This was the first time in countless wars.
The Eastern vassal state had retreated and would not pose a threat to the Ning territory for the time being.
The beautiful dream of Suzhou sitting on the mountain and watching the fight to benefit from the battle had also disappeared.
If the three big countries stopped fighting, the other small countries would be safe for a while.
In fact, whether it was military strength or financial resources, the few countries were all evenly matched.
If they were snatched back, they would be robbed back again and again.
Otherwise, this war wouldn't have lasted for so many years without a winner.
Who knew what would the interference of Qiu Guo change!
It had been many days since Qiu Guo saw him acting against her in so many ways.
He heard Wen Zhuo say that because the war was no longer tense, his elder brother had returned to deal with the military affairs of the state ahead of schedule.
Returning to the tent, he splashed a bowl of fragrant oil tea, and the autumn fruit nestled in the hearth, thinking about what he should do after returning to the Ning Domain with Wen Zhuo!
