Chapter 27 Take

Although she wanted to thank Xie Jingyu and repay his kindness for saving her elder sister, wasn't this man coming to Duke Dingguo's Mansion too frequently?

She had such a good relationship with her elder brother, but in her previous life she never gave him any face.

False brotherhood!

Shen Wan complained in her heart, and Shen Li asked in a low voice, "What does my sister want from him?"

Shen Wan said, "Brother, I have a few words to say to him alone."

Shen Li looked at Shen Wan and said, "I am your biological elder brother, and I can't even listen?"

Shen Wan shook his head.

It’s not that I can’t listen, I’m just afraid of scaring my brother.

Shen Wan used his eyes to drive Shen Li out.

Chen Li had a hurt expression on his face and whispered, "Then try to take him down."

Shen Wan wanted to push Shen Li out, "Big brother really thinks highly of me, can I beat him?"

Shen Li, “…”

Chen Li didn't want to talk anymore.

How could he have such a stupid sister?

Is this what he meant by take it down?

Chen Wan just thought her elder brother was joking. After all, the last time she said she wanted to kill Xie Jingyu to silence him, her elder brother handed her a knife.

Chen Li walked out, looking back every few steps, and Chen Wan walked over and closed the door.

Chen Li's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character.

He was not allowed to stay in the house and was also worried about him eavesdropping. Was this eldest brother of his adopted son?

A single man and a single woman staying in the same room, if this gets out it will damage their reputation. If his parents find out, they will beat him to death.

Shen Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but turned around and found that the person who was sitting just now was standing behind her without her knowing when. She was so scared that she took a step back and bumped into the door.

It hurts so much.

Can't this person just sit still? Why is he sitting so close to me?

The psychological trauma of being bullied in the previous life, even though Xie Jingyu saved Shen Yu and Shen Wan gave up revenge for Yang Gu's ashes, but she was still very afraid of him in her heart and just wanted to stay away from him.

Xie Jingyu looked into Chen Wan's eyes. Chen Wan didn't dare to look at him. She was too close, and the tips of her ears unconsciously turned red. "You, don't get too close..."

Not only did Xie Jingyu not listen, he even moved closer, "Don't you want to kill me?"

Shen Wanxin shuddered, and almost jumped out of her throat, "Prince Jingbei is joking, my eldest brother can't kill you, let alone me."

"So I'm still alive. It's because you can't kill me, not because you don't want to kill me."

“…”

Shen Wan's heartbeat was like a drum, but he forced himself to remain calm. "How could that be? You saved my eldest sister's life. You are the benefactor of our Dingguo Mansion. I can't thank you enough. How could I want to kill you? No, absolutely not."

He certainly didn't sense murderous intent from her anymore, but his previous feeling wasn't wrong.

Xie Jingyu was very curious, "What do you want to tell me?"

Being too close, she felt a wave of fear all over her body. She clenched her fists nervously, "I, I just wanted to thank you for saving my elder sister's life..."

"Just to say thank you, there's no need to send your brother away—"

Xie Jingyu chuckled, "Or do you want to repay your life-saving grace with your body?"

Shen Wan, “……!!!”

To repay the life-saving grace with one's own body?

Fortunately he thought of it.

Of course, Shen Wan wouldn't take it seriously.

This bastard has someone he loves dearly. He didn't get to marry her in his previous life, so his personality changed drastically. They say birds of a feather flock together, and it's true. My eldest brother is like that, and so is this guy.

If you like someone, propose marriage as soon as possible. Marry them sooner so that you won't have any regrets later. Chen Wan feels like the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is.

Shen Wan raised her chin, and the corners of her mouth curved up into an arc, as bright as a rose.

"A life saved, a life in return."

Xie Jingyu looked into those clear eyes, a smile on his face, "You want to give me your life?"

...I can give you my ashes in the future, but not my life.

"Of course not."

"I'm repaying your mother's life."

Xie Jingyu seemed to have heard a joke, "My mother's life?"

Shen Wan knew that what he said was a bit outrageous and he would not believe it.

Princess Jingbei was healthy and in good health, so who would have thought that she would die in an accident not long after? It was precisely because of the loss of her mother and the need to observe mourning that Xie Jingyu was unable to propose marriage, and the girl he loved married someone else.

Shen Wan said, "If you want your mother to live well, don't let her go to the Xingguo Mansion to celebrate her birthday on the fifth day of next month. She will fall into the well and die."

Shen Wan's expression was serious, not joking at all.

Xie Jingyu also didn’t believe that Shen Wan dared to play such a joke on him.

But how could his mother fall into the well and die?

Xie Jingyu looked into Shen Wan's eyes, trying to see something, "I didn't know that Miss Shen Er could tell people's fortunes."

This isn't fortune-telling, it's her memory. Shen Wan said, "A few days before the birthday banquet for Duke Xingguo, there was a heavy rainstorm in Kyoto. The Imperial Ancestral Temple was struck by lightning, and a corner collapsed."

"After this rain, it won't be too late for you to decide whether to believe what I say or not."

Xie Jingyu frowned, he stood up straight and moved away, and Shen Wan's sense of security returned.

The favor was repaid, and Shen Wan felt much more relaxed. What she hated most was owing others, and she couldn't accept that this person was Xie Jingyu.

Everything that needed to be said was said. Chen Li was coughing outside the room, so Chen Wan opened the door and went out.

Chen Li was guarding in the yard, wishing he could have a pair of X-ray eyes to see what his sister was going to do. Fortunately, Shen Wan went away after a cough.

He walked forward, but before he could say anything, Shen Wan pulled him aside and said, "Brother, if father agrees to marry me to the son of Guide Marquis, you have to help me ruin the marriage."

Chen Li was troubled. "Forget about it last time, but if you come a few more times, will you still want to keep your reputation? The Prince of Guide Marquis is also quite good."

Her father loves her the most, and if she is not from a good family, her father will not allow her to get married.

The last time the marriage fell through, his father was disappointed for several days. It was only after he painted a rosy picture for his father, no, he painted a picture of a good son-in-law, that his father finally recovered.

Shen Wan looked at Shen Li and said, "Brother, just tell me whether you will help me or not?"

A threatening little look.

The corners of Chen Li's mouth and eyes twitched, "Help, help, but make it clear that this is the last time."

Shen Wan nodded repeatedly.

Using the same handle twice is already unethical, let alone using it endlessly.

"But big brother, don't do it again like last time. You made a mess of the house. It looked so fake."

Shen Li knocked on Shen Wan's forehead and said, "Is your elder brother such a person when doing things? Last time I only drugged Duke Zheng's horse. I didn't do anything else."

Shen Wan, “…???”

"Not big brother?" Shen Wan's voice rose.

Shen Li said, “If I knew, I would have saved myself the trouble of giving him medicine.”

他怀疑是郑国公世子不想娶沉挽弄出来的，要不是自家妹妹也不想嫁，他都得去揍他一顿不可。
