A whirlwind marriage: The real heiress marries a warlord.

Qin Yan and Luo Tang were talking on the small sofa in her office.

Ling Manyun brought in a pot of tea.

Qin Yan took out a few snacks from the drawer to serve as tea refreshments.

This is what she and Ling Manyun occasionally eat for lunch; it tastes pretty good.

"It's been two months since your last telegram," Qin Yan said. "What happened?"

"It's about training troops. The warlord forbade us to go north, fearing it would bring trouble to the Qin family. We boarded the train, but they intercepted us halfway and turned back," Luo Tang said.

Qin Yan: "Then this time..."

"This time he agreed. The conspiracy to negotiate has failed, the purpose of training troops has been achieved, and we are no longer in danger heading north," Luo Tang said with a smile.

Qin Yan nodded.

"It seems like it's all your doing," she said again.

Qin Yan: "It was all by accident. I didn't have such big ambitions."

Achieving great results with minimal investment.

Luo Tang smiled and sipped her tea: "You said you didn't want to use your beauty to seduce me, but you did anyway."

Qin Yan remained silent: "That doesn't count."

"You chose the most promising young marshal of the Cheng family, how can that not count?" Luo Tang said.

Qin Yan: "That wasn't my original intention. So it doesn't count."

Just like with Du Rongfei's situation, Qin Yan simply didn't want to sit idly by and wait for her fate; she wanted to fight back. The result, however, was that she helped the south out of its predicament.

Qin Yan and Cheng Tianxun's marriage was only because they were driven to the brink of death by that scoundrel Liu Jinyao, and that's when they went to Lan Changming.

Lan Changming seemed surprised that Qin Yan was able to marry Cheng Tianxun so smoothly.

"Then you're quite lucky," Luo Tang said with a smile. "I thought you had schemed and plotted to marry into the Cheng family, but it turns out it was all unintentional."

Qin Yan was stunned for a moment.

"You're probably the first person to say I'm 'lucky,'" she said.

Luo Tang: "You're lucky. Back then, you met my sister-in-law in the royalist assassin organization, and she got you out of trouble; later, you started a newspaper and made a name for yourself; and then you found a good marriage."

Qin Yan realized that people shouldn't just focus on their own misfortunes.

It turns out she also had so many moments of "turning adversity into opportunity".

She was also quite lucky.

"How's your investigation going?" Luo Tang asked her again.

"It's Su Yaxi, the second concubine of Governor Cheng. She's a leader of the royalist party," Qin Yan said.

The smile on Luo Tang's face vanished.

Qin Yan added, "I only observed and investigated secretly; I didn't try to deal with her. She's very shrewd. If I alert her, I'm afraid I'll be the first to be exposed, and then my life will be in danger."

After a pause, Qin Yan added, "She might also be suspicious of me. We've tested each other a few times, but nothing came of it."

Qin Yan said that someone tried to assassinate her at the military hospital that time. It was Cheng Tianyu who sent the assassin. It might not only be to cause trouble for Cheng Tianxun, but also to test Qin Yan.

It was through this incident that Qin Yan confirmed the identity of the second concubine.

The second concubine may have gotten what she wanted.

But what does it matter?

Qin Yan was an insignificant person; she had simply stumbled into the royalist assassin organization, and her relationship with the Luo family of Hong Kong had never been kept secret.

She exposed herself to the sunlight.

"...After that test, I discovered that the warlord trusts his second concubine very much. His feelings for her are too deep. If we can't sow discord between him and the warlord, or bring down the warlord, we can't touch her," Qin Yan said.

Luo Tang took a deep breath.

She suppressed all her emotions, her voice still hoarse with a tearful ache: "She killed my sister-in-law and my niece."

"What do you want to do?" Qin Yan asked her.

Luo Tang: "I will not return until this matter is resolved on my trip north."

"There may be sacrifices," Qin Yan said.

"I'm not afraid," Luo Tang said. "Don't be afraid either, I'll protect you."

"I'm not afraid of death either," Qin Yan said.

Luo Tang reached out her hand.

Qin Yan placed his hand in her palm, and after a long while said, "Don't mention what you said back then."

Luo Tang gripped his fist tightly: "Okay."

When Qin Yan went north, Luo Tang gave her some pills and also provided her with directions.

Madam Luo destroyed two assassin organizations of the royalist party, which made the royalists hate her and attempt to murder her.

Luo Tang, raised by Madam Luo, was also in unbearable pain and wanted revenge.

The same applies to Qin Yan.

Luo Tang told her, "I received intelligence that the leader is in Nancheng, which is our hometown."

She suggested that Qin Yan go to Nancheng.

She also told Qin Yan that if he came to Nancheng and was unfamiliar with the place, he could use her beauty to pave the way and use her beauty to enter the governor's mansion.

"The warlord has several sons; seize this opportunity," Luo Tang said.

This was the opportunity she gave Qin Yan the pills.

Don't get pregnant.

Once a woman has a child, her mindset changes, and things become exceptionally complicated.

Luo Tang has been married into the Qin family for over ten years, but she has no children.

Qin Yan said at the time, "If we're going to use a honey trap, why not go after Commander Cheng, instead of his sons? His sons have no power."

Luo Tang then said, "You should adapt to the situation."

She wanted to mention Governor Cheng, but was afraid Qin Yan would find it disgusting. The Governor was getting old.

"I don't want to use my beauty to seduce you," Qin Yan told Luo Tang at the time. "I have my own way of doing things."

She refused the pills.

Luo Tang told her to accept it: "Things can change easily, so take it just in case.

Later, when Luo Tang heard that she had married Cheng Tianxun, her first words were to praise her for using her beauty to her advantage very successfully.

Qin Yan denied it.

She didn't sleep much last night.

Qin Yan knew very well that she had once again decided to settle down.

She was very satisfied with the marriage.

But her life was always unpredictable. Like a boat sailing on the sea, she could only follow the wind; she couldn't control it.

Perhaps the sea is calm at this moment, but the next moment it will be turbulent.

Luo Tang's arrival reminded Qin Yan of the "honey trap" she had suggested to him.

The leader of the royalist party is a member of the Cheng family. If someone says that Qin Yan's motives for marriage are impure, how will she defend herself?

Qin Yan is courageous and responsible; she simply doesn't want to be misunderstood or slandered.

She hoped that Luo Tang wouldn't reveal what she had said back then.

"I'm going to visit the warlord's wife and second concubine tomorrow." Luo Tang released Qin Yan's hand. "Would you like to introduce me?"

"You are the second wife of the Qin family in Guangzhou, so you can go and pay her a visit. However, the Governor's wife is probably busy. Just make an appointment and go directly to the Cheng family's old residence," Qin Yan said.

Luo Tang: "Okay. I'll let you know when I have any news."

Qin Yan nodded.

Luo Tang walked out of Qin Yan's office and said a few more words to Ling Manyun.

The gist is that both the Qin and Ling families want her to return. No one cares about her running away from the marriage, so the marriage is still valid.

"...What did Commander Qin and his wife say?" Ling Manyun asked.

"Qin Yao took all the blame, saying it was all his fault and that he hurt you. Such a responsible young marshal naturally pleases the warlord; when the warlord is happy, the madam is pleased," Luo Tang said with a smile.

Ling Manyun remained silent.

Luo Tang: "You still have to go back. Now everyone over there knows you're here."

"I should go back and resolve all the issues," Ling Manyun said. "There was no other way to escape back then, and we can't just leave things hanging like this. When are you going back? I'll go with you."

Luo Tang couldn't help but chuckle.

She was a cheerful and smiling person, and gently patted Ling Manyun's hand: "Make your own plans, don't worry about me."

She can't go back.

How could she avenge her sister-in-law's death without bloodshed? The enemy was not easy to deal with.

Luo Tang came here prepared to return to her roots and be buried in her homeland.

She will never go to Guangzhou again; it was never her home.

Her sister-in-law died, and she no longer had a home in this world.
