Chapter 191 Becoming Husband and Wife

This remark delighted Shen Pingjin, who never expected her brother to actually be pondering it.

It seems that with his blockheadedness, no girl really likes him.

Shen Ling wasn't unaware of his sister's mocking gaze, but he didn't care at all.

My own sister, she's so spoiled!

At this moment, Shen Ling finally asked the most crucial question.

"Little sister, stop teasing your brother. How's your relationship with the Regent going?"

When he learned of his younger sister's marriage while he was in the military camp, he was quite relieved, since his younger sister and the Crown Prince were childhood sweethearts.

But a few days later, news came that my younger sister had swapped marriages with her half-sister.

Shen Ling didn't have a good impression of this younger sister because he often unintentionally saw her doing something inappropriate to his sister. He wanted to stop her, but his sister liked him quite a bit and didn't dislike him, so he didn't care.

He wasn't deliberately targeting her; it's just that he disliked her because she was born out of wedlock, and he had a stereotype about her. It's just that... he had seen that concubine's face before, and it made him very uncomfortable.

Shen Pingjin naturally knew that her brother was worried about her, and besides, Yan Jue really was quite good to her, so she smiled and said:

"The Regent treats me very well, so you don't need to worry, brother."

That's good.

Shen Ling gave Yan Jue, who remained silent, a deep look in her eyes, and nodded.

"I am relieved that you are doing well."

Shen Ling looked at Shen Pingjin and Yan Jue's hands clasped tightly together and felt a little disappointed.

His sister is no longer the little girl she used to be; she's married now.

He, however, did not even attend her wedding.

But when I think about it...

Shen Ling felt that there was always a trade-off between giving up something and gaining something else.

Yan Jue, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally opened his mouth.

He stepped forward, released Shen Pingjin's hand, and bowed to Shen Ling.

"Don't worry, Lord Shen, I will treat Xiao Jin well."

Shen Ling snorted coldly: "You'd better act as nicely as you say. If my little sister comes to me crying and complaining, my Shen family will spare no effort to make you suffer a lot, if not a lot!"

Such a threatening remark shocked Shen Pingjin. She looked at Yan Jue beside her, expecting anger to flash across his face, but to her surprise, he remained calm and composed.

"Rest assured, Commander Shen, if that day ever comes, I will personally offer my life."

"Since the Regent has spoken personally, I am relieved. The Spring Banquet is tomorrow, and I have brought my little sister all the jewelry she liked. The Regent must make sure she is dressed up nicely."

"That's natural."

Yan Jue responded.

After Shen Ling left, Shen Pingjin looked at Yan Jue with a puzzled expression.

"Yan Jue, you and my brother have known each other for a long time?"

Yan Jue's expression was somewhat indifferent.

"No."

"Then why do I sense something fishy about the faces of both of you?"

Shen Pingjin still had some doubts. Her sixth sense strongly reminded her that the two of them seemed to have crossed paths in this life.

Yan Jue took Shen Pingjin's hand and opened the jewelry box that Shen Ling had given him.

It was filled with many good things, and as expected, Chen Pingjin's attention was immediately diverted.

"My brother actually remembers all this..."

Chen Pingjin's eyes involuntarily stung.

Looking around, the jewelry box contained butterfly hairpins, jade and seven-treasure exquisite hairpins, pure black crystal and silver hairpins, jade and gold hair ornaments, eight-treasure flowing cloud hairpins, spring plum blossom snow hairpins, and coiled dragon hairpins.

Hairpins such as phoenix hairpins, gold and jade bone hairpins, jade swallow hairpins, gold-threaded fragrant wood hairpins inlaid with cicadas and jade beads, palace-style hairpins with a thousand petals of gold-embroidered peonies, exquisite kingfisher feather hairpins with grass-head insects inlaid with pearls, etc.

These are all pieces of jewelry that she jokingly asked Shen Ling for when she was a child.

I never expected that he would still remember it.

Yan Jue sensed Shen Pingjin's unusual behavior and frowned slightly. "Let's go. I will personally do your hair and makeup to prepare for tomorrow's spring banquet."

Shen Pingjin, who was still feeling somewhat sad, was stunned when she heard these words.

"You, you're going to do my hair and makeup? You? Personally?"

Good heavens, who would understand, family members? The regent, the war god from my past life, is actually going to personally do my hair and makeup!

Yan Jue raised an eyebrow slightly; "What, do you have a problem with that?"

Shen Pingjin quickly waved her hand and explained, "No, no, no, I naturally have no objection. On the contrary, I feel very honored. I never expected that the famous Regent would have such a... face."

Yan Jue replied indifferently, "There are many faces that I don't know."

Shen Pingjin: "Yes, I understand."

Looking at the large table of jewelry, Shen Pingjin originally thought that Yan Jue would be unable to carry it and would need to call for help, but unexpectedly, he directly used martial arts.

My friend was stunned.

Yan Jue walked for a while, and when he didn't hear any footsteps behind him, he turned around.

Seeing Chen Pingjin standing there in a daze, he raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke in a cold voice.

"Hurry up and come here, or do you want me to lead you by the hand?"

Shen Pingjin blushed, her voice tinged with reproach: "Don't overthink it, I'm coming right now."

Yan Jue had been with Shen Pingjin for some time and had a general idea of ​​her temperament.

Shaking my head and smiling, I realized that the saying "a girl changes a lot as she grows up" is actually true.

She really is different from when she was a child.

Shen Pingjin followed behind Yan Jue, watching him place the jewelry on the table and then slowly walk towards her.

"Yan Jue, what's wrong with you...?"

Seeing him walk towards her, Shen Pingjin was surprised for a moment, then felt him brush past her, and a strong, scorching aura rushed towards her, engulfing her body.

Shen Pingjin instinctively tried to move a step to the side, but the large, burning hand gripped her shoulder tightly, making her unable to move and causing her to take a step away.

Then a man's voice came to my ears.

"Don't move, I will tie your hair up."

Shen Pingjin swallowed nervously, her tense body relaxing at those words.

"I believe you this time, Yan Jue."

Yan Jue paused noticeably upon hearing this.

He then replied calmly, "Rest assured, I have always been very careful with my queen."

Chen Pingjin: "..."

What's wrong with this man today?!

He offered to tie her hair himself, and then he started flirting with his brother. But when she asked him, he denied it and changed the subject!

I don't know what's wrong with me today. I was easily led astray by him, and only now do I realize that he's changed the subject!

Shen Pingjin gritted her teeth, but still didn't move, because she couldn't guarantee what her hair would look like in the next moment.

Yan Jue picked up a plum blossom hairpin and casually ran his large hand through the woman's hair. The next moment, a pleasant sound, like the babbling of a stream, rang in her ears.

In just a moment, Chen Pingjin's eyes widened.
