Even though he knew that Shen Jiaojiao had wronged Shen Ruyi, Shen Yu still felt distressed when he heard her speak like that, her well-behaved and humble manner, and thought of how much she had suffered.

So, is she a member of the Shen family?

Shen Yu couldn't be sure.

After standing at the door for a while, he walked in, "Jiaojiao."

"Brother, why are you here so late?"

Shen Jiaojiao showed an overjoyed expression and asked hurriedly: "How is Fourth Brother? Is he awake? Should I go see him?"

There was still surprise on his face the last second.

But before he could finish his words, tears welled up in his eyes. "I don't know who was so cruel to hurt him so badly."

"I have already consulted the imperial physician and he is resting there."

Shen Yu sat down, feeling a little embarrassed to speak.

Is Cuiyu talking nonsense?

This thought couldn't stop popping up in his mind.

Looking at Shen Jiaojiao carefully, he felt that Shen Jiaojiao's every smile, every word and every sentence she said did not seem to be harmful to others. Instead, it was more likely that others would bully her.

Finally, Shen Yu asked, "Jiaojiao, does your face still hurt when Ruyi hit you last time?"

His eyes fell on Shen Jiaojiao's face, and a trace of pity welled up in his heart.

Who wouldn't want to protect and cherish a delicate and well-behaved girl like her?

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

Shen Jiaojiao touched her face, lowered her eyes and said softly, "Sister was just angry for a moment, I can understand. In fact, that thing is also my fault, I grew up in the countryside, I am too petty. I thought it would be nice to give the remaining fabric to sister and let her embroider a purse, but I didn't expect to humiliate her."

"She deserves to hit me."

As he said that, he raised his head and looked at Shen Yu eagerly and said, "Brother, how about this? Give the pair of shoes that Concubine Li gave me to me. Don't tell her that I gave them to her. Just say that they were a gift from you, brother."

"That way, she won't be angry."

Shen Yu's eyes fell on her face. Seeing her innocent appearance, he sighed, "She doesn't need your pair of shoes. I know you are sensible, but the Prime Minister's Mansion is in trouble right now, so I'm afraid I have to inconvenience you."

It's really bitter to say this.

Shen Yu couldn't save face, and he really felt sorry for Shen Jiaojiao, so he took her hand and said, "Jiaojiao, no matter what, you are the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if I wronged you today, I will make it up to you tomorrow. Don't be too sad. Gu Qinghua is not the best..."

Shen Jiaojiao couldn't hold it anymore after hearing this.

"Brother, what do you mean by this?"

What does "Gu Qinghua is not the best either" mean?

Why did she have a bad feeling when she heard this?

Shen Yu was unable to speak, but he had no better choice at the moment, so he could only bite the bullet and said sadly: "I'm afraid you can't marry Qinghua this time, so Ruyi can only marry alone."

"Why?"

Shen Jiaojiao screamed in shock, "He clearly promised me..."

When she was halfway through her words, she saw Shen Yu's surprised look and realized that she was not like usual. She squeezed out two tears and lowered her eyes and said, "Is it because my sister doesn't want me to marry her?"

Without waiting for Shen Yu to speak, she choked up and said, "If sister doesn't want to be with me, then let's not be together. After all, Qinghua brother is her fiancé, and I am the latecomer, so it is normal for her to be unwilling."

As she spoke, she looked at Shen Yu with tearful eyes, and a pure yet broken smile appeared on her face, "No matter what, I still wish my sister happiness."

There was a smile on her face, but clear tears still rolled down her face.

Shen Yu looked at her like this, and suddenly he felt an impulse. He stretched out his hands and hugged her in his arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Jiaojiao, I'm sorry for wronging you this time. But I promise you that I will make it up to you in the future and will not let you suffer any grievances."

"Even if you can't marry Gu Qinghua, you have to stay in the mansion for the rest of your life, and your brother will support you..."

A ray of evil thoughts surged up.

If she was not Shen's biological daughter, he would be willing to raise her in the backyard and cherish her for the rest of her life. Although he could not give her the position of wife, it would be fine for her to be a concubine.

As long as he gives her more affection, it will be fine.

Shen Jiaojiao leaned in Shen Yu's arms, feeling a little weird.

She is not the daughter of the Shen family, so when she is close to the young masters of the Shen family, it is not a closeness between siblings.

Thinking of this, she deliberately rubbed her chest against Shen Yu's solid chest and sobbed, "Jiaojiao always listens to big brother."

As he spoke, he reached out and carefully embraced Shen Yu's waist.

Shen Yu had an inappropriate urge to press her into the quilt and possess her fiercely.

This feeling was like that of a wild beast, and he couldn't control it.

Suddenly, he pushed Shen Jiaojiao away and rushed out of the door, saying hurriedly, "I remembered that I have something urgent..."

When I went downstairs, I was blown by the cold wind and slapped myself.

What on earth is he thinking about!

Upstairs, Shen Jiaojiao wiped the tears from her face, squinted her eyes, looked out the window, and revealed a barely detectable sneer.

Gu Qinghua is going to get married, and the men in the Shen family can’t escape.

She grew up in Chunlou and knew what men were most susceptible to. She was not comparable to Miss Shen Ruyi.

Besides, she had already discussed it with the midwife this afternoon and also got the support of the Third Prince...

"snort."

She gave an imperceptible laugh and went to bed to rest.

Shen Yu stood downstairs, looking at the lights going out upstairs, feeling mixed emotions.

It was the dead of winter with a biting cold wind and the night was pitch black, but he felt like there was a fire burning in his body and he wanted to vent it.

In his mind, he even recalled the scene of Shen Jiaojiao naked on Zuixin Tower that day.

He didn't dare to stay in Jiaoyang Pavilion any longer.

He was afraid that he couldn't help himself.

Coming back to his senses, he quickly left Jiaoyang Pavilion and headed straight for the Mu family, muttering to himself, "Yes! The person I like is Miss Mu, not Shen Jiaojiao, not..."

"Jiaojiao is just my sister..."

But, is it really so?

No one can be completely sure before the blood test.

Moreover, it was already very late at night, and he couldn't really go look for Mu Rushuang.

Besides, Mu Rushuang is now working in the palace, he...

In the end, I had to go back in disappointment.

"Brother."

A voice suddenly came from the front, startling him, "Old Four stabbed Ruyi, why didn't you tell me, but only told me that he was injured by a bad guy?"

When he looked up, he saw Shen Luo standing under the red lantern at the gate, his eyes bloodshot and his whole body trembling, "What on earth do you want to do!"

"Where is Ruyi?"

Shen Yu was confused, "I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would get impulsive. The mansion can't stand this kind of trouble now."

He didn't expect that Shen Luo would change so much in the past few days. Thinking of Shen Jiaojiao, he couldn't help but persuade her: "Third brother, you can't believe what I say. You captured Cuiyu, and she knows she can't escape death. She will definitely take revenge."
