Shen Xiuyan nervously pulled Shen Xiujin to a secluded corner of Songheyuan, then looked around vigilantly.
After confirming again and again that no one around could overhear their conversation, he leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice, and asked:
"Xiu Jin, did you hear all that talk about the young master from a noble family, the little maid running off with the ball, and that so-called 'leading man'?"
"Did you hear it? Big brother, didn't you hear it too? You still don't let me say it..." Shen Xiujin looked at his big brother and replied dissatisfiedly.
"Of course I heard it, big brother. Could it be that you didn't hear it? You were right next to me at the time, so why didn't you let me say what I said later?
There are some things I... don't know, I've been holding it in for too long, I feel like... am I going crazy?"
Shen Xiujin glared at his elder brother with anger on his face, secretly despising him in his heart: He really couldn't understand why his elder brother...had become so timid and cowardly when he had only been away from home for a while.
Because he was afraid of that person, he didn't even dare to let him utter such a simple sentence. It's a pity that Big Brother is an official appointed by the imperial court! No wonder he is still just an editor and right assistant minister.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiujin couldn't help but snort inwardly, feeling that his elder brother's behavior was really embarrassing.
However, facing his brother's resentment and questioning, Shen Xiuyan did not bother to explain, but immediately asked: "Then have you noticed whether your mother has opened her mouth?"
"Although I didn't see my mother open her mouth with my own eyes, I certainly heard her say these words..." Shen Xiujin frowned and answered with a puzzled look on his face.
The corners of Shen Xiuyan's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times, and he looked at the other party with a smile and said, "Then tell me, since you didn't see your mother open her mouth to speak, how did you hear her voice?
Come on, come on, take a look at the little maid standing next to you. She didn't hear anything!"
After saying this, he deliberately winked at Shen Xiujin and gave him a meaningful look.
At this moment, Su Qianqian on the side had a confused look on her face, completely unaware of what had happened.
However, the moment her eyes met Shen Xiujin, she froze in place as if under a spell.
I saw that this second young master was so handsome that it was beyond imagination!
(⊙o⊙)Wow!
The second young master is so handsome!
He is more handsome than the eldest son, with a face as handsome as jade and twinkling stars in his eyes. His handsome appearance seems to make everything else pale in comparison!
Su Qianqian couldn't help but secretly exclaim in her heart, this second son of the Marquis's Mansion, his appearance is also out of line! Compared with the eldest son of the mansion, he is even better by several points!
His face was as gentle and fair as jade, and his eyes were as bright as stars. When he looked around, it seemed as if bright starlight was flowing and shining in them.
Such a handsome appearance can truly be called stunning, as if everything in the world pales in comparison to it!
Oh my! It really lives up to their reputation! It's been rumored that the young masters of the Xuanhua Marquisate are all as handsome as Pan An and as elegant as a bee. Seeing them today, it's true!
It really fits the saying "The young master is unparalleled in the world, and the man on the street is as beautiful as jade!"
The infatuated Su Qianqian giggled foolishly, but for some reason, she always felt that the second young master seemed to dislike the old lady a little.
But what was the specific reason? As a young maid who had just entered the Marquis's mansion, she naturally had no idea about the complicated relationships between the masters of the mansion.
So, she could only ponder in her heart, muttering softly: "Sure enough, it was like this in ancient times. Even in those aristocratic families, it was impossible for mothers and children to get along so harmoniously...
Shen Xiujin frowned and glanced at Su Qianqian who was standing there in a daze. He couldn't help feeling confused. He had no idea why his elder brother asked him to look at this girl.
So, he patiently asked again, "I've already seen it, brother, what do you want to tell me?"
"Oh! Did you really not notice anything at all? In Songheyuan, besides your sister-in-law, the only people who could hear mother's voice were my brother and me! No one else could hear it at all!"
As soon as the words fell, Shen Xiuyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that had been hanging in his throat finally let go a little.
Because until this moment, when he learned that Shen Xiu Jin could also hear his mother's voice, he was sure that not everyone had this magical ability.
In this way, his originally tense nerves finally got a little relief.
Then, Shen Xiuyan lowered his voice, leaned close to Shen Xiujin’s ear and continued, “Xiujin, in fact, the words we just heard were not spoken by our mother.
In fact, those words were her true feelings that she had never spoken to anyone else. In other words, they were her true feelings!
In the face of Shen Xiujin's shocked expression, Shen Xiuyan curled his lips into a smile and continued, "And from what I've observed, it seems that this is also a special ability that mother has suddenly acquired recently!
Well, how should I put it? It's just like what's described in those storybooks we read every day, it's called... um... the ability called 'golden finger'!"
Moreover, she could see the words above some people's heads, called "Character Plot Interpretation", which could interpret the entire life trajectory of others. Although these people could not see it, they could hear the interpretations in her heart.
However, there were some things that Shen Xiuyan himself was not too unsure about, so he did not tell Shen Xiujin.
However, he still told Shen Xiujin that his daughter was almost replaced, and it was because he heard Jiang Mianmian's voice that these tragedies were avoided.
She also told him that she was the male lead in "The Fake Daughter is the Darling of the Marquis' Mansion", and Shen Xiujin was the male lead in "The Cunning Second Master's Favored Maid Who Ran Away with the Baby".
The difference between the two brothers is that their daughter was exchanged for someone else, while the younger brother is about to have a "little maid" who runs away with the ball.
After hearing what his elder brother said, Shen Xiujin was shocked. Shen Xiuyan threw out bombshells one after another, hitting him so hard that he was overwhelmed.
After a moment, he barely digested all this, then turned his head to look to the side and saw Su Qianqian's ordinary face.
He couldn't tell what was so different about this plain-looking little maid that could attract him?
