Whats wrong? Shen Qiuhua looked at her step-brother worriedly.

Shen Qiuhui hurriedly waved, saying, No, its nothing. I just didnt expect this wine to taste so good.

He was so excited that he teared up. He took a deep breath and took another sip. This time, he did not gulp it down. Instead, he savored the flavor. This is too delicious!

Shen Qiuhui could not care less about losing his composure. After all, he was genuine about the wine being delicious. He enjoyed drinking wine and would buy the best ones he could find.

However, those wines were nothing compared to the one Su Binglan had brewed. The wine he drank now was exceptional and second to none.

Su Fengmao laughed heartily. You can drink more if you like it,

Brother-in-law. Here, Ill refill your gla.s.s.

He was forthright and hurriedly filled Shen Qiuhuis gla.s.s. Su Fengmao felt good having someone to drink with. He was delighted and could not help but drink more.

Fortunately, the two older men were good drinkers. They ate while talking and drinking. Su Fengmao bragged about his daughter despite himself, My daughter brewed this wine herself. She made many flavors, and this is just one of them.

She also made medicinal wine, but the production of it is more complex, so she only made a few jars. She says medicinal wines can strengthen the body.

My waist and legs used to hurt, but not anymore.

Shen Qiuhui looked at the wine jar. His eyes lit up, and he became excited.

The family ate until late at night, but they were all happy. After eating and drinking their fill, they returned to their rooms to rest.

However, Su Binglan and Luo Jinan were not hurrying to sleep. Luo Jinan placed firewood under the bed to warm it up while Su Binglan wrote her script under candlelight.

Time pa.s.sed quickly, and it was almost time for the Lantern Festival. The weather would soon warm up. By then, the construction team would have finished building the grand theater.

Soon, the crew could perform in the theater or the streets whenever Su Teng Market opened. To be accurate, Su Binglan had to complete her script in advance for the crew to rehea.r.s.e it.

Also, she would need to find management talents to open more factories and businesses. However, no family member could help her because they helped manage other things. It would also take time to train management talents.

Su Binglan sat at her desk with her chin resting on her hand. She was focused and thinking about something, so she failed to notice Luo Jinan beside her.

He looked at Su Binglans expression and asked softly, What are you thinking? You look like you have something on your mind.

Su Binglan returned to her senses when she heard her husbands voice, She said, I considered building more shops and factories in the commercial street. I need someone to manage everything, but I dont have many people. Even if there are people, I cant train them so quickly. I still need time to do that. I have much to do now, and training managers take too much time. Itll be much more convenient if we finish building the management college.

Luo Jinan raised a brow when he heard that. He already had an idea. He stroked Su Binglans hair and said, Its getting late. Lets get some rest first, okay?

His voice was gentle and low, delightful to hear. It could quickly soothe Su

Binglans heart. She nodded, saying, All right, lets sleep.

She knew if she stayed up all night, Luo Jinan would stay up with her, too. She did not want her husband to stay up late and work so hard.

As the two lay on the heated brick bed, Su Binglan thought of something and said, Uncle Qiuhui didnt recognize you.

During dinner, she feared Shen Qiuhui would recognize Luo Jinan as Wei Jinan, but it seemed he did not.

Luo Jinan said, Your uncle is the head of the Shen family. Theyve been keeping a low profile all these years, so they barely have contact with other families or forces.

He only manages the familys business well instead of contacting others. Ive never seen him out and about before.

Thats true. You mostly guarded the border or fought in wars back then. Still,

Mohen recognized you, even though you rarely appeared in the capital. Yeah, Luo Jinan said, Ive never seen him and only realized hes the young master of the Shen family and a disciple of the Legendary Medicine Valley.

Su Binglan was slightly surprised. After some thought, she blinked and said, Perhaps he saw you in the crowd when you returned to the capital in triumph.

Usually, the general would ride his horse and bring his soldiers into the city whenever they won a battle and returned to the court. At that time, commoners would gather to watch.

It was like watching their heroes return. It was like Lin Zheng treating Wei Jinan as his idol, even though they had never met.

Perhaps, Luo Jinan said.

When he brought his men back to the capital, many commoners would gather to watch. However, he did not even look into the crowd.

Su Binglan looked at Luo Jinans indifferent expression and whispered, I saw you at the teahouse once.

Upon hearing that, Luo Jinans eyes glinted. When was that?

When I was ten, you won your first battle and returned to court. That was when Su Binglan lived as Lan Ruobing, meaning Wei Jinan was also ten.

At that time, Wei Jinan followed his father and brother to war. He had already displayed extraordinary combat skills and won a battle when he was just ten. When the news reached the capital, it shocked everyone.

That was why people called him the G.o.d of War. He was a natural prodigy who had never lost until the Wei family army collapsed three years ago. It was not that they had failed, but someone had set them up and betrayed them.

Su Binglan did not want to discuss Luo Jinans sad past. However, she had recalled her memories from that time.

Luo Jinan smiled gently, saying, I didnt notice you watching us from the teahouse.

Thats right. Many people were looking at you from the teahouse, but you didnt look at us.

Luo Jinan was already cold and n.o.ble yet charming when he was ten. Nonetheless, Lan Ruobing did not overthink it then. She was just happy for him.

When I was ten, huh? Luo Jinan muttered, his expression dazed. It felt like a long time ago to him.

Yeah, you went to war when you were only ten. I feel sorry for you, Jinan.

Luo Jinan closed his eyes. The Wei family is loyal; too many have sacrificed themselves to protect the country. My grandfather and my uncles also died on the battlefield.

The Wei family had built their reputation with bloodshed and sacrifices.

However, the emperor feared such loyalty. Luo Jinan felt it was ironic..
