Looking at the envelope on the table, Jiang Mianmian hurriedly reached out and picked it up. She couldn't wait to open the seal and carefully read the contents inside.
Not long after, she quickly read through all the text, and then an ecstatic smile immediately blossomed on her face. She laughed excitedly and said:
"Hahahaha... That's great! Is the third brother finally coming back?"
"Really? When will he come back?" A look of embarrassment flashed across Shen Xiujin's face, and then he put on a smile and asked.
"He sent the letter five days ago, but he might have encountered some problems along the way, which delayed him for two days. I estimate that he should be back tomorrow."
Then, Jiang Mianmian continued with a smile, "What's more, he even specifically asked his sister-in-law in the letter if she had given him a cute little niece this time?"
"Yeah! He really got it right. He really got a little niece?" Shen Xiuyan agreed with a forced smile.
Meanwhile, Shen Xiujin, who was standing by, noticed that Jiang Mianmian had suddenly fallen silent for some reason. For a moment, the entire room was unusually quiet.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Mianmian slowly lowered her head, her eyes falling on the letter tightly held in her hand.
After a long while, she finally sighed softly, a sigh that contained her sorrow and helplessness: "Alas..."
Seeing this, Shen Xiuyan and Li Tingxue exchanged glances.
They knew that this was not the time to talk about An Le, so they decided to put the matter aside for now and find a chance to talk to their mother in detail later.
........In the Shen family study...
Brothers Shen Xiuyan and Shen Xiujin sat opposite each other. Shen Xiujin frowned slightly and asked his eldest brother, who was sitting opposite him: "Brother, should we talk to him about Mother's matter?"
"Well, for such an important matter, I'm afraid I really have to talk to him properly." Shen Xiuyao frowned slightly, and his tone revealed a hint of solemnity.
"Oh! I really don't know whether the third brother's mouth is reliable or not. What if he accidentally blurts it out? What should I do then?" Thinking of this, Shen Xiujin couldn't help but say with some concern in his heart.
When Shen Xiuyan heard his words, he immediately rolled his eyes at him and responded coldly: “In my opinion, his mouth is much tighter than yours. Don’t forget what he does.
Although he is ostensibly the emperor's personal guard, you and I both know what he does in secret."
"Hmph! That being said, it depends on the circumstances. Besides, what does his official position have to do with his ability to keep secrets? What if he really can't control his mouth..."
Shen Xiujin obviously did not fully agree with his elder brother's point of view and still insisted on his own opinion.
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense here. I think you are just jealous of the third brother." Shen Xiuyan interrupted the second brother without any hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiujin immediately glared at his eldest brother and retorted with displeasure: "Why am I jealous of him? You are simply talking nonsense!"
Seeing the mocking look in his elder brother's eyes, Shen Xiujin's anger was instantly ignited. He simply decided not to care about his image anymore and shouted directly:
"I'm just jealous of him, so what? But on what basis? Why should I give in to him the moment he shows up, even though I've called him mother for so many years? I'm not convinced, and I'm not willing to give in..."
The more Shen Xiujin spoke, the more excited he became. His chest rose and fell violently, like an angry little lion.
Shen Xiuyan looked at his second brother in front of him, who was so angry that he felt a headache. He sighed helplessly and said:
"Brother, you're already a grown-up, are you still a three-year-old kid? You're still playing childish tricks to steal your mother!"
Hearing this, Shen Xiujin sneered and retorted: "Haha... If that's the case, then don't fight with me if you have the guts!"
After saying that, he raised his chin provocatively and glanced at Shen Xiuyan with a disdainful look.
Seeing this, Shen Xiuyan quickly raised his hands in surrender, muttering, "Okay, okay...just consider me incompetent."
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that he also had deep feelings for this mother. After all, he had been calling her by her name for more than twenty years.
However, Shen Xiujin didn't listen to the advice at all. He just rolled his eyes at Shen Xiuyan and sarcastically said, "You are so useless!"
His mother is his, why should he give her up? He has been calling her by her name for more than 20 years.
Facing Shen Xiujin's ridicule, Shen Xiuyan suddenly became angry and retorted loudly:
"Humph! I'm useless? Only you are. If you are, then what did you do back then? If you were capable, you shouldn't have run away from home!"
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two brothers became tense.
The corners of Shen Xiuyan's mouth turned up, revealing a contemptuous smile. He crossed his arms over his chest, leaned forward slightly, and started poking at the painful spot of Shen Xiujin's lung tube:
"Chen Xiujin, ah Shen Xiujin, you are always angry with your mother and always like to deliberately go against her!
"Your mother has worked so hard to raise you, but what happened in the end? You are the son of your enemy, someone so ungrateful and ungrateful that you repay kindness with enmity!"
Having said that, Shen Xiuyan paused, a hint of complacency flashed in his eyes, and then he sneered and continued sarcastically:
