"Why is Third Brother so persistent?"

Shen Ruyi just glanced at him and lowered her head to continue reading.

The cold wind was howling outside. All the past would become memories, even the memories would turn gray. Soon she would leave the Prime Minister's Mansion and would have nothing to do with this family anymore.

Shen Luo looked at her nonchalant expression and choked up, "Ruyi, I really hope that you can still cry and make a fuss like before."

For some reason, tears welled up in my eyes.

It has been many years since he could remember and he hasn't cried.

This time, I couldn't stop crying.

It is obvious that Shen Ruyi's current non-competitive attitude is what he has always advocated and wanted.

But when she really became like this, he felt what it meant.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he was becoming more and more aware that Shen Ruyi no longer cared about him.

This is indeed the case.

Shen Ruyi smiled after hearing what he said, "I'm already grown up, isn't Third Brother happy?"

She didn't expect Shen Luo to cry.

She felt bad, as if a voice in her heart was saying, "Forgive him. After all, he is the brother you grew up with, a blood relative, and we once had such a good relationship. He is the person I will rely on for the rest of my life."

However, the image in her mind was the cruelty of him kicking her into the cold pond with her limbs cut off.

No, I won't forgive you.

There were tears in her eyes, but they disappeared quickly. "Third brother, if you have nothing else to do, please go back. I have other things to do."

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued reading the medical book.

Shen Luo stood in the yard for an unknown period of time.

But during such a long time, Shen Ruyi never looked up. She just sat quietly beside the brazier reading a book, as if she didn't know he hadn't left.

The guard came in, pulled him out, and whispered to him, "Third Master, it's only been a short time since the incident happened. Even if she can forgive you, it will probably take time. You should go back first."

Shen Luo backed away and left Xifeng Courtyard.

He had no way to relieve his emotions, and he couldn't help asking, "Where are the eldest and second brothers?"

The guard said, "The eldest son went to the palace early in the morning, and the second son went to Pinghu yesterday, saying that he wanted to hide for a while."

Shen Luo was bored and finally walked towards Jiaoyang Pavilion.

Shen Jiaojiao felt that she was blamed and treated coldly by Shen Cangyun and Shen Yu these two days. She also heard that Qiu Shuang was driven out of the Marquis' Mansion by Shen Luo, and she was feeling very uneasy.

Unexpectedly, Shen Luo came in and was startled. He asked nervously, "Third brother, why... are you here?"

Shen Luo stood at the door and looked at her with a complicated expression.

After a moment, he asked, "Do you know about Qiu Shuang's situation?"

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes flickered and she pretended to be dumb. "What happened to Qiu Shuang? Last night, she said she was helping the embroiderer with her work, but I haven't seen her since."

Seeing that she didn't seem to know anything, Shen Luo sighed and sat down on the chair opposite her. "These servants are really lawless. She actually took the leftover fabrics from making clothes for you and ran to Ruyi to show off. She also said that even if she married into the Shangshu Mansion, Brother Qinghua would only have you in his heart."

"I kicked her out."

Speaking of this, he was still very angry.

Shen Jiaojiao was most unsure of Shen Luo's thoughts. Knowing that he was fickle, she said carefully, "How could she say such a thing? Brother Qinghua is my sister's fiancé. No matter what, I have to be humble and humble in the future."

After saying that, he quickly stood up and said, "How about I go and apologize to my sister?"

"never mind."

Shen Luo thought of Shen Ruyi's attitude just now and felt a little disappointed. "I'm afraid she doesn't need your apology."

Shen Ruyi doesn't even take his apology to heart now.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say, "I really regret it now. How could I have done such a thing last time? I knew she was about to get married, but I still talked nonsense everywhere and almost ruined her reputation."

"I didn't think it was a big deal at the time, but now when I think about it, I want to slap myself twice."

Shen Luo closed his eyes and couldn't help but said to Shen Jiaojiao, "Don't rush to look for her in the future. When you came, you took away our concern for her. You and your maid rushed to show off. How can she not push you away!"

“…”

Shen Jiaojiao choked suddenly.

Didn’t Shen Luo stand on her side crazily before?

As soon as she cried and talked, he rushed to find Shen Ruyi to settle the score, to stand up for her, and even threatened to disown her as his sister, which made Shen Ruyi break down and cry, and the whole house was in unrest.

At that time, each of them was more indifferent than the other.

It seemed that watching Shen Ruyi cry was also one of their pleasures.

So for Shen Ruyi, isn't it a common practice?

Why is it that now that Shen Ruyi has turned her back on them and ignored them, they are rushing to regret it and come to blame her?

If she wasn't afraid of being beaten, she really wanted to say, "Are you guys lowly?"

But it's not time yet.

Shen Jiaojiao came back to her senses, shedding tears and said aggrievedly: "Third brother, are you blaming me? I thought my sister would be happy because of me..."

"If I don't blame you, who else can I blame?"

The more Shen Luo thought about it, the angrier he got. "Before you came, you didn't know how close she and I were!"

Before Shen Jiaojiao came, he took Shen Ruyi to Guangwenguan, from the time Shen Ruyi was five years old until she reached the age of 15.

When Shen Ruyi was little, she would lie on his back like a little rabbit when it rained or snowed, calling him "Third Brother" all the time, "Third Brother is the best, Ruyi likes him the most."

If the Master rewarded her with something good, she would give it to him, smiling at him with sparkling eyes, "Third Brother, this is what the Master gave me today. I give it to you, because you are my favorite person."

After that, he never got so close to her again.

After Shen Jiaojiao came, she was in poor health. She coughed three times every time she took a step, and she would sprain her ankle and faint at any time.

He held Shen Jiaojiao in his arms and walked back and forth in the mansion.

Shen Ruyi cried and asked him, "Does Third Brother not want me anymore?"

He disliked her for being annoying and ignorant, and said to her: "If you bully Jiaojiao again, I will no longer have you as my sister."

Shen Ruyi stood there, crying heart-wrenchingly.

There was only Shen Jiaojiao left in his eyes.

When I think back to that scene now, it feels like a poisonous drug regurgitating, and my heart aches.

With a groan, he stood up and said, "Stop crying in front of me. You cry all day long and you've cried away all your blessings!"

After saying that, he turned around and left angrily.

Shen Jiaojiao looked at his back and was stunned.

Didn’t someone say before that she looked pretty when she cried, with her tears falling one by one?

Now you say she cried away all her blessings?

Whose blessing is gone?

"Why is the Third Young Master like this?" The maid Songhua came up and stamped her feet in anger. "The eldest lady gave him a hard time, and he came to give you a hard time!"

Shen Jiaojiao wiped her tears and frowned.

It seems that she has to make good use of the blood test and quickly kick Shen Ruyi out of the house to avoid any further complications!
