Chapter 434

After arriving in Youzhou, he was quickly assigned to the front lines—serving under the command of the Vanguard Camp. Once these events had flashed through Qin Hu’s mind, he realized that this was almost certainly a trap. The Duke Chen had been wanting to call off the marriage for a long time. The Qin family and the Chen family were in a political alliance, and both sides wanted to expand their power. The Qin Hu of the past, however, was little more than a dissolute playboy—a man with almost no redeeming qualities who had thoroughly disgraced the Champion Marquis Manor. One had to remember that every generation of Champion Marquises had been heroic figures with unparalleled influence in the military. Yet, in this generation, there appeared a useless wastrel who had never even set foot on a battlefield. When the Old Marquis was still alive, the Duke Chen had shown some respect, but after the Old Marquis died, the Duke turned ruthless, even going so far as to stage an annulment of the engagement in the very funeral hall. But Qin Hu was deeply in love with Chen Ruoli and refused to agree, no matter what, while Chen Ruoli, for her part, had long since grown to loathe this young villain. And so, catastrophe descended upon him.
