C9 Water Disease

Qiao Yin and Shen Yushi were childhood friends, and as Shen Yushi had always been on good terms with her little sister, he more or less understood Shen Yushi's temperament. However, for some reason, ever since she had gotten sick, she had changed.

In the past, her eyes had been filled with joy and sunshine, but now they were full of complexity, making it impossible for Qiao Yin to understand her thoughts.

"You're my wife now. If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me …" No matter what happened, Qiao Yin would help her settle it. However, he saw Shen Yushi's silent expression and thought that she probably didn't want to tell him.

It was not because Shen Yushi was unwilling to tell Qiao Yin many things, but he felt that now was not the time. Furthermore, it would be troublesome if only a single person knew about these matters.

Thinking of this, she smiled faintly, giving Qiao Yin medicine as she replied, "Why would there be any worries? "However, because of this fall, I fell asleep for a very long time. During this period of time, I have also thought about many things …"

Why was it that when she heard Shen Yushi's words, Qiao Yin seemed to see the shadow of someone else. Was this still the lively and lovable Shen Yushi from before? What had happened to her? Why did it seem like everything had changed overnight?

"In that case, I am relieved …" Both of them had their own thoughts, and neither of them broke the barrier between them. Although they were already newlyweds, they both knew in their hearts.

A few days later, Qiao Yin continued to go to court. However, as an emperor, Nangong Qing was actually narrow-minded and wanted to bully him.

"Right now, the enemies of each country are all ready to make a move, and there's a huge flood in Jiangnan. What should we do now? I wonder if Lord Qiao has any good countermeasures?" With that, Nangong Qing tossed the question to Qiao Yin. It was as though everyone was waiting for his answer.

Qiao Yin naturally understood that it was because Nangong Qing had lost Shen Yushi that she had dared to speak ill of him. These words were merely meant to make things difficult for him.

"This humble subject believes that there is an annual flood in Jiangnan that can only be treated and not ignored …" A flash of profoundness passed through Qiao Yin's eyes before she replied in a low voice.

It was not easy to get a chance to mess with him, how could Nangong Qing let it go?

"If that's the case, then that means that Sir Qiao already has a way to deal with it. Then we'll leave the matter of dealing with the water hazard to you, Sir Qiao. What do you think?" Nangong Qing revealed a meaningful look.

Qiao Yin couldn't help but laugh bitterly in his heart. Everyone knew that the south of the river was flat ground and that there would be water disasters every year. When it came to governance, it gave people a headache, so it naturally couldn't be underestimated.

Moreover, Qiao Yin was still young and had no experience in dealing with water disasters. If he was allowed to go, it would be like accepting a hot potato.

"This humble subject accepts the order!" Qiao Yin understood in his heart that he couldn't refuse this matter. Otherwise, the emperor would think of all sorts of ways to make things difficult for him, and perhaps bring disaster to his family.

After the next assembly, several ministers walked to Qiao Yin's side and shook their heads with a sigh.

"After the emperor ascended to the throne, his temperament changed greatly. The matter of controlling the Jiangnan flood naturally has to be handed over to the experienced general. How could he let Lord Qiao take over? It's really hard to imagine!" Lord Li repeatedly sighed.

Qiao Yin stood with his hands behind his back, his deep eyes gazing into the distance. He had already made up his mind. Since he couldn't refuse, he could only give it a try.

"..."

Before sending Qiao Yin to Jiangnan, Shen Yushi repeatedly warned him to be careful.

Before leaving, Shen Yushi handed him a protective talisman. With a grave expression, she stared at the man before her. "No matter what, you have to protect yourself!"

Listening to Shen Yushi's tone, Qiao Yin was a little puzzled. Although he didn't understand why Shen Yushi was so worried about this trip to Jiangnan, Qiao Yin more or less knew about it.

"Don't worry, just wait for me!" Under the contrast of the sunlight, his handsome face had an additional hint of radiance. Even so, it was still unable to conceal the worry in Qiao Yin's eyes.
