"He's a renowned beauty at Green Apple Pavilion..."

Shen Qiyin suddenly stepped forward, startling Jiang Jiyao so much that she instinctively stepped back, forgetting to even speak.

"What are you spending money on?" Shen Qiyin looked at her expressionlessly, his eyes cold and icy, like two crescent moons. "Miss Jiang, I must remind you, the last person who gossiped about my junior brother already has teeth in his belly."

"Are you...you trying to scare me?"

"It's a threat."

They suspected her of having ulterior motives, and to be fair, she could understand.

But she absolutely forbids him from bringing up his junior brother!

She had no intention of deliberately hiding his past from Madam Wei, but whether to tell him, how to tell him, and when to tell him were decisions her junior brother had to make himself.

Instead of being spoken by others in a mocking or sarcastic tone.

Wei Xuan had always disliked Shen Qiyin, and now that he saw her bullying Jiang Jiyao, he naturally had to stand up and say, "Shen Qiyin, this is the Marquis's residence, don't go too far!"

"You mean, this is the Marquis's residence, your home, so you're the only one who can bully us, and I can't talk back?"

"you……"

"Ah Xuan!" Old Madam Wei said in a deep voice to stop him.

Sanwa tugged at Shen Qiyin's sleeve, and when she looked over, he suddenly curved his lips into a smile. The smile was faint, but it was as bright as the sun, making it impossible for anyone to look away.

Granny Fang almost cried out.

Good heavens!

That smile... isn't it like the young lady has come back to life?

Sanwa ignored what others thought and said to Shen Qiyin, "Senior Sister, I'll do it myself." He was a man and couldn't hide behind his senior sister forever.

He let her stand in front of him and fight for him; one time with Song Huai was enough.

As long as she and his senior brothers don't look down on him, he has nothing to fear.

Sanwa pulled Shen Qiyin behind him, first bowing to Old Madam Wei and the Marquis's wife, and then turning to Wei Xuan and Jiang Jiyao, saying in an orderly manner: "Young master and young lady, you don't need to worry that I have ill intentions. There is currently no evidence to prove that I have any relationship with the Marquis's mansion."

"Therefore, my existence will neither hinder you from inheriting the family business nor affect the dowry you are entitled to."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xuan and Jiang Jiyao's expressions changed simultaneously.

Shen Xiyin couldn't help but glance at Sanwa a couple more times.

sure.

If this trend continues, she sees him as having the potential to develop into a black sesame-filled glutinous rice ball, appearing harmless on the outside but completely black inside.

Despite the two men staring at him with their eyes practically popping out, Sanwa ignored them and said to the old lady and the Marquis's wife, "My life has been full of hardships. I was even sold into the Nanfeng Brothel a long time ago."

These words shocked everyone in the room!

Sanwa publicly revealed his past wounds, but he was no longer as embarrassed and desperate as before.

He spoke frankly and calmly about the past he once loathed and despised: "It was the Green Apple Pavilion that this young lady just mentioned. I spent most of my life there."

"However, not long ago, I redeemed myself with the money my senior brother gave me."

"Senior sister brought me to the Marquis's residence only to find out about my background as soon as possible. But if you are worried that I will bring shame to the Marquis's residence because of my past, then let's pretend that we never set foot here and there is no need to investigate further."

“It would be great to find relatives, but…” Sanwa said, then suddenly glanced at Wei Xuan and Jiang Jiyao: “If all I find are people like you two, I might as well give up the idea of ​​finding relatives as soon as possible.”

After speaking, Sanwa looked at Shen Qiyin and said, "Senior Sister, let's go."

Given the commotion, Old Madam Wei had no choice but to release the people.

The Marquis's wife personally saw the two of them off, and as she passed Wei Xuan, she couldn't help but sigh.

This child...

They have absolutely no sense of consideration for others.

The old lady had devoted most of her life to managing the Marquis's household. The matter of Wei Yueru was a knot in her heart. Whether Sanwa was her grandson or not didn't matter. As long as the old lady was happy, that was enough.

Just like Chen Xiyin.

In truth, both she and the Marquis knew that she was not the child, but the old lady liked her and loved to be with her, so why bother with so much?

Their household is large and prosperous, so they don't mind supporting two more people.

Now let's talk about the other side.

Shen Qiyin and Sanwa left the Marquis's residence and boarded the carriage back to Guangrentang.

On the way, she asked him, "If it is ultimately confirmed that you are indeed Madam Wei's grandson, will you really disown Wei Xuan and Jiang Jiyao because of their existence, just as you said earlier?"

"Of course not!" People with backbone die tragically; he must live well.

"Um?"

"The Marquis's mansion is wealthy and powerful. If we could really rely on them, we wouldn't need to trouble our senior sister so much."

Sanwa gazed intently at Chen Xiyin.

He could sense what she was worried about.

He simply wouldn't ask if she didn't say anything.

There was no conversation for a moment, and the carriage soon stopped in front of Guangrentang.

As soon as Shen Qiyin stepped off the carriage, her pace slowed down unconsciously. She looked at the person at the entrance of the clinic and her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

A Dream of Marriage...

Why is she here?

The other person noticed her at that moment and hurriedly came forward: "Second Sister!"

"You're finally back! I've been waiting for you for ages."

Shen Qiyin withdrew her hand from her grasp, her gaze distant, and asked in a low voice, "Is there something you need?"

Shen Mengyin took a deep breath before mustering her courage to speak: "I want to come to the clinic and learn medicine from my second sister, so that I can heal and save lives like you in the future."
