Chapter 13 The heroine is coming
Before he could open his mouth to refuse, the melon-eating little milk bag had already revealed the spoilers.
[Mother, my second brother has a crush on a girl. He's been in love with her since he was a kid, but unfortunately, he's a chatterbox and angered her. Now, the girl doesn't want to talk to him anymore.]
Chen Yaoxing: “…”
no.
Why does my little sister know this?
So, you have no privacy in front of my little sister?
No wonder his mother suddenly asked him if he had a girl he liked. She must have heard it from his younger sister.
Mrs. Shen raised her eyebrows without any surprise, as she was very clear about her son's character.
With Shen Yuanhong keeping him in check in the mansion, he didn't dare act rashly. Outside, his mouth could make people angry to death.
"Haha." Chen Yaoxing laughed dryly. "There's no need to rush this matter. Let's wait until Uncle Seventh gets married first."
"Mother, why don't you help Uncle Seventh find some girls first? If Uncle Seventh doesn't get married, I'm afraid everyone in Kyoto will think he's not good enough. Grandpa will be so angry that he won't be able to hold his coffin down."
Chen Yaoxing felt no guilt at all and pulled his seventh uncle Shen Yuanhao out to act as a shield without hesitation.
Uncle Seven, this is just a way for your filial piety. You don't need to thank me too much.
"How could you say that about an elder?"
Madam Shen frowned. This mouth was really a bit mean. It was normal for the girl to be annoyed by him.
If Old Seven heard this, I'm afraid the skin of this kid would be peeled off.
"Mom, I'm telling the truth."
Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes, then sighed: "They say that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. The seventh brother is twenty years old this year, and those who are about his age are already married. I have mentioned it to him several times, but he always perfunctorily gave the matter a try."
"I won't get married until my seventh uncle gets married. If my eldest brother and I both get married, leaving my seventh uncle alone, people who don't know will think that our Duke's Mansion is abusing my seventh uncle."
"What are you talking about?"
As soon as Shen Yaoxing finished speaking, a deep voice came from outside the door, and then Shen Yuanhong strode in.
"Dad, you're back."
Chen Yaoxing quickly stood up straight, no longer as carefree as before.
My dad has obsessive-compulsive disorder and he hates to see men being lazy and sloppy, not knowing how to sit or stand properly. If he had seen him standing lazily just now, he would probably have used the shadowless kick on him again.
Shen Yuanhong said "hmm", walked to the bed and sat next to Mrs. Shen, holding Shen Wan in his arms.
"Xiao Wan'er, daddy is here, give him a smile."
Chen Wan tried hard to pull the corners of her mouth, and drool immediately flowed down.
[Oh, babies are just bad. They drool every time they do something. When I grow up, I will smile and show Daddy.]
Listening to her cute words, the three of them tried hard to hold back their laughter.
"My little Wan'er smiled at me. Her two dimples are so cute. She will definitely be prettier than her sister when she grows up."
Shen Yuanhong knew that Xiao Naibao was obsessed with looks, so he praised her without reservation. Shen Wan was so happy to hear that.
"Daddy, this is wrong. Third sister is the prettiest. I'm just as pretty as her. It's wrong to put one down and praise the other."
Praise one and step down on the other?
Good job.
They heard new words again.
Shen Yuanhong was teasing the little kid while saying, "I heard that the young lady from the Su family had a high fever for several days. Old man Su Chongyuan brought the imperial physician back with him after the morning court session. I'm going to send someone over to take a look."
He and that old man Su Chongyuan have always been at odds with each other, but the girl from the Su family is Mu'er's wife after all, so it would be inappropriate if he didn't go and see her.
[The Su family girl, Su Haitang, has a high fever? Wasn't that when the heroine traveled through time?]
[When she woke up, she had already changed her core and was no longer the original Su Haitang.]
What? !
Shen Yuanhong, Mrs. Shen, and Shen Yaoxing were all shocked. They didn't expect that the culprit who almost destroyed their family was Mu'er's fiancée.
Thinking of the tragic end of her family being murdered, Mrs. Shen felt like she was falling into an ice cellar, and a chill began to spread along her spine. For a moment, her thoughts seemed to be frozen.
She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and managed to curl the corners of her mouth.
"Of course I have to go see her. After all, that girl from the Su family is Mu'er's fiancée, and she's so seriously ill that even the imperial physician has been alarmed. If I don't go see her, I'm sure I'll be criticized."
"Please prepare some generous gifts and go there in person."
[Dad, you can go, but forget about the generous gifts. The heroine is our family's enemy.]
When Shen Wan heard her mother asking her father to prepare a generous gift, she became anxious. If she could speak out, she would definitely oppose the act of aiding the enemy. It would be great if she didn't throw rotten eggs at the Su Mansion.
The little money-grubber couldn't bear to part with it.
Mrs. Shen smiled helplessly. It was impossible to leave empty-handed when going to someone else's house.
If this gets out, people will definitely criticize and criticize us, and it will bring shame to the Duke's Mansion.
Shen Yuanhong and Shen Yaoxing felt that what Xiao Naibao said made sense. In the end, their family was badly harmed by the heroine, and they were so confused that they gave her such a generous gift.
Shen Yuanhong hummed, put the little baby in his arms back on the bed, and said softly: "Madam, please get some rest. I will take care of this matter."
Then he got up and left.
Watching his leaving back, Chen Yaoxing's delicate eyes turned, and then said: "Mom, I remembered that I have something to deal with, I'll leave first."
Without waiting for Mrs. Shen to reply, Shen Yaoxing ran away.
Madam Shen blinked. Why were you running so fast?
[Wow, the eyes of the cloth tiger my second brother gave me are actually made of black jade, and the necklace is made of mutton-fat jade.]
Listening to the little milk bag's inner voice, Mrs. Shen lowered her head and saw the little milk bag holding the cloth tiger with his short hands, drooling.
Mrs. Shen smiled. This cloth tiger was indeed thoughtful and valuable, but her little Wan'er was also very knowledgeable, and ordinary people might not be able to notice it.
but……
Who said that he is not a child and doesn’t like such childish things?
**
"Dad, wait for me."
Soon, the stunning young man caught up.
"What's your idea?"
Shen Yuanhong knew very well that his son was not a good person. If he didn't have some ulterior motives, he would never have chased him.
Chen Yaoxing rolled his eyes, and his elegant demeanor almost collapsed.
What?
How could you say that about your own son?
"Dad, I'm here to share your worries. It breaks my heart to hear you say that to me."
"Stop talking nonsense and get down to business!"
The corners of Shen Yuanhong's mouth twitched, and he felt like he was about to lose control of his legs and kick out.
But Chen Yaoxing didn't feel at all that he was jumping around wildly on the edge of being beaten.
"Dad, everyone knows that you and the old man from the Su family don't get along. If you go to his house in person, he won't be treated well. So I decided to go and see how he treats you. What do you think?"
“…”
This son must not be his biological son.
Don't bring up anything that is not related to the topic!
Shen Yuanhong's face was visibly as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Thank you so much, Laozi!"
