Chapter 9: The Second Brother Doesn't Look So Smart

Taking the little milk bag from Mrs. Shen's hand, looking at the pink and tender little guy, Shen Yaoxing's heart softened.

My little sister is so cute, I really want to hug her and kiss her.

Chen Wan blinked her bright eyes and looked at the person holding her.

【My second brother is so handsome! 】

[I have to say, my mother and father's genes are so strong. If I could still live and grow up, I would definitely be a beauty.]

Hearing himself being praised, before Shen Yaoxing could even smile, he heard the second half of the sentence.

Does my younger sister mean that she will also be framed?

Mrs. Shen knew that the little girl was not only a money-grubber but also a face-obsessed person, and she would praise any handsome guy or beautiful girl she saw.

Yaoxing is not only handsome, but also has a rare sharp temperament.

It was Little Milk Bag who praised Chen Yaoxing, and Mrs. Chen was not surprised at all.

Chen Yaoxing calmed down and greeted in a soft voice: "Little sister, I am the second brother."

【I know. 】

Shen Wan bit her lower lip, with doubt in her beautiful and lively eyes.

[The book says that the second brother is full of tricks, with more tricks than a honeycomb, and is Uncle Seven's biggest enemy. But now, looking at him from top to bottom, left to right, why does he seem not very smart?]

Not very smart?

Chen Yaoxing frowned and thought carefully. It seemed that this meant that he was stupid?

Not only did they say he was stupid, but they also said he was Uncle Seven's biggest enemy?

??? How could this happen?

He has always respected his Seventh Uncle, so how could he become his Seventh Uncle's enemy?

Having said that, he began to doubt the truthfulness of what Little Milk Bag said.

However, the little kid yawned, his big eyes were filled with ripples, and his gaze gradually became blurred.

【I’m so sleepy. I need to sleep.】

So, under Shen Yaoxing's curious and puzzled gaze, he fell into a deep sleep.

Being kept in suspense like this, Chen Yaoxing felt uncomfortable as if ants were crawling all over his body, and he really wanted to shake the little kid awake.

Just as he was about to pinch the little chubby face, a cold gaze fell on him.

His beautiful, gentle and generous mother was now glaring at him coldly.

Shen Yaoxing sighed inwardly.

He must have heard what the little kid was thinking and suspected that he would not be a good person in the future.

Shen Yaoxing felt like crying.

Little sister, why do you cheat your second brother like this?

He swallowed and pretended to be confused.

"Mom, why are you looking at me like that? The look in your eyes scares me."

Madam Shen snorted and continued to glare at him coldly.

Xiao Wan'er said before that the seventh brother was torn into pieces by five horses, and was this kid also responsible?

If that was the case, she would definitely break the bastard's legs and lock him up at home forever.

Since Xiao Waner's explanation is incomplete and there is no solid evidence, let's keep his head on the neck for a while longer.

"Your sister is asleep, give her to me."

Mrs. Shen was not gentle and skillful at all, and the tone she used when speaking to him was like an ice knife.

No matter how you look at him, he's an eyesore.

"well."

Chen Yaoxing quickly handed over the little ball of milk, not daring to breathe.

It's over.

Now, my mother must think that he is a bad guy. It seems that I have to keep a low profile recently.

But he clearly didn't do anything.

In front, he has a father who favors girls over boys and uses him as a punching bag from time to time; behind him, he has a mother who is cold to him.

These days are a bit hard.

So wronged.

Madam Shen took the little milk bag, put her aside, and sighed deeply in her heart.

It seems that the Shen family is destined to not live a peaceful life in the future.

Immediately, I thought of Shen Qingyi and felt a headache again.

Everyone knew that Qingyi liked Prince Jin, and they had originally planned to marry her when she reached the age of 15.

Besides, the marriage was arranged by the late emperor.

It is not easy to cancel the engagement, but if it is not cancelled, it will definitely bring disaster in the future.

Mrs. Shen felt a little powerless.

Forget it, let’s just wait and see.

When other women appear around Prince Jin, let your husband find a reason to cancel the engagement.

In addition, you must keep a close eye on Qingyi and not let her become jealous of a man.

If it really doesn't work, send her away.

In short, Qingyi must not end up in the tragic way that Xiaonaibao said.

**

Front garden.

Behind the rockery, Shen Yuanhong hid, holding his breath and watching the two people talking not far away.

"Qingyi, the king has been feeling unwell recently."

Amidst the flowers, the gentle voice of a handsome and elegant man was heard.

He looked at the girl in front of him with tenderness in his black eyes.

Looking at the man who had haunted her dreams, Shen Qingyi couldn't even remember what the little girl said. She quickly asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"I feel very uncomfortable not being able to see my sweetheart every day."

These words made Shen Qingyi blush, her eyes half-closed, and pink bubbles kept popping up in her heart.

Shen Yuanhong gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that the seemingly cold and aloof Prince Jin could be so smooth-talking in private. No wonder Qingyi was so devoted to him.

If I hadn't been suspicious of what Xiao Wan'er said and followed her secretly, I wouldn't have realized that King Jin had such a side to him.

It's so shameless!

Shen Yuanhong no longer likes Xiao Yelin anymore.

"Me too~" After a moment, a low and shy voice sounded.

Xiao Ye Lin laughed, and his whole body seemed to be bathed in the spring breeze. His black eyes looked at the girl in front of him and became more and more fiery.

His voice lowered several degrees, with a hoarse tone, "I wish I could see you every day."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a basin of ice water was poured over Shen Qingyi's head, making her feel cold all over.

Her body stiffened, and her fingertips pinched her palm unconsciously.

Before she could speak, the hoarse voice sounded again.

"I will come to propose marriage in the next few days. When Qingyi reaches the age of marriage, I will marry her. Is that okay?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, making Shen Qingyi's face turn pale.

Shen Yuanhong, who was hiding behind the rockery, narrowed his eyes and felt his heart sink.

Xiao Waner's wishes came true once again.

The King of Jin really proposed a marriage proposal.

"Qingyi, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Ye Lin saw her face suddenly turn pale and looked at her with puzzled eyes.

Shen Qingyi lowered her eyes so that he wouldn't notice her panic. After a moment, she tried to pull the corners of her mouth.

"It was just a little sudden. I was startled."

Xiao Ye Lin snorted, knowing that she had always loved him, and naturally believed her words.

"We grew up together, and the engagement was arranged by our father. I have long wanted to marry you."

The emperor was not originally satisfied with this marriage, but he liked Qingyi and wanted her to be his wife, so he knelt before the emperor and begged for this marriage.

"It's such a big deal. I need to tell my parents. Will you wait for my news?"

Shen Qingyi is now completely awake, her mind full of her younger sister's thoughts.

I feel so confused and don’t know what to do.

Mother could also hear what her younger sister was thinking, and she knew that she would definitely make plans for her in this matter.

Thinking of my younger sister's thoughts and her tragic ending in the future, I felt cold sweat covering my back.

If she hadn't heard her younger sister's thoughts, she would have happily agreed if Xiao Ye Lin had proposed to come over in a few days to propose marriage.
