Chapter 210 Return to Shen Mansion
"Do you remember who those people are?" Shen Anan's eyes slowly turned cold.
"Mr. Shen has already vented his anger on me, so let it go."
Now the Fourth Prince's Mansion is also at the center of controversy, and she doesn't want to cause trouble for Shen Anan.
Besides, she never wanted to recall or mention what had happened in her life, and she certainly didn't want to make a big deal about it and have others know about it.
Shen Anan chose to respect Lin Yurou's idea, nodded and did not insist.
But my heart sank inch by inch.
"I heard from Xiao Yuan that your marriage to my elder brother has been arranged. I didn't have time to ask in the banquet hall just now. When is it scheduled?"
Lin Yurou's face was slightly stiff, and she bit her lip for a long time before saying, "Mrs. Shen has set it for the tenth day of next month..."
"An An, can you persuade Mrs. Shen and your eldest brother? I...I want to wait a little longer. I'm not ready yet."
She lowered her eyes and nervously tore the handkerchief in her hands.
"Why? Don't you like my big brother anymore?"
"No." She immediately shook her head. "It's not that I don't like him. I like him very much. I just... just..."
Her face gradually turned pale and her breathing became heavier.
Those lewd and obscene laughter stimulated her eardrums again like devilish sounds. She raised her hands to support her head, and cold sweat slowly seeped out.
"Miss Lin, what's wrong with you?"
"An'an, consider it as me begging you." She grabbed Shen An'an's wrist with her backhand, "Please help me talk to your eldest brother and wait a little longer, okay?"
Shen Anan was silent, staring at the flustered Lin Yurou.
She really wanted to ask what happened at the Lin family, but she was worried... the result was too bad, and Lin Yurou couldn't bear it if she asked it again.
"Don't worry." She pressed her shoulders and comforted her softly, "Let's talk slowly, slowly."
Lin Yurou bit her lips tightly, tears slowly flowing out.
"You don't want to get married now. Have you told my eldest brother?"
She nodded and said, "I said, he doesn't agree."
She said a lot, but he refused, and even refused to let her leave the Shen Mansion.
"If you don't get married, do you have any plans?"
"I...I...want to leave the capital and go find my parents."
Shen Anan frowned, "You want to break off the engagement with my eldest brother?"
"No, I don't want to cancel the engagement, I just...I just..." She stuttered and couldn't say anything. Finally, she just sighed and started crying.
Shen Anan's eyes were filled with heartache. The girl who used to be so bright and smiling, now couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
What on earth did those damned officers and soldiers do to her! !
She stroked her back again and again, trying to calm her down.
"Miss Lin, my eldest brother really likes you. It's not easy for you two to get together. It's rare for two people to love each other. Don't let them down."
Lin Yurou lowered her head and shed tears silently.
"No matter what happened, since my eldest brother insisted, it means that in his heart, you are more important than anything else. Put yourself in his shoes. If something happened to my eldest brother, would you treat him the same way he treated you?"
"Of course I will." Lin Yurou said without hesitation, "No matter what he is like, I want him."
"That's it. My eldest brother has the same idea, doesn't he?"
"But I am a woman and he is a man, how can we be the same?" Lin Yurou said.
She was afraid that he would dislike her when they were together for a long time.
"Even if it doesn't go as planned, at least you tried. If you give up without trying, won't you regret it?"
"Given your personality, are you really willing to do this?"
Lin Yurou was unwilling, how could she possibly be willing to accept this? But she just couldn't get over it in her heart.
"You used all means to secure your marriage, so why are you backing down now?"
Lin Yurou recalled all the times she had been clever and plotted against Shen Changhe in the past, and pursed her lips slightly, forcing a smile.
"You are so smart, and my elder brother is just a blockhead. Are you afraid that you can't capture him?"
Lin Yurou pouted, "He is not a fool."
Shen Anan chuckled, "Yes, sister-in-law is right, my eldest brother is a very good person, not a dumb guy."
Lin Yurou's face turned red instantly, she lowered her head slightly, hiding a hint of disappointment.
"The Fourth Prince's Consort, Miss Lin," Mo Xiang smiled as she walked into the room and bowed, "The eldest master is here, and he is waiting for Miss Lin at the door."
"What is he doing here?" Lin Yurou's cheeks turned redder and she stood up in a hurry. "Then I'll leave first. It's windy today and he still has old injuries on his body."
"Okay, then sister-in-law, take care."
"What are you talking about?" Lin Yurou glared at Shen Anan and left quickly.
The door was closed again, and Shen Anan's smiling eyes gradually turned cold.
——
"What did you talk about with An An? Why are you so happy?"
Shen Changhe looked at the girl, whose expression was obviously much more relaxed, and said with a smile.
"I didn't say anything, just chatting randomly. Weren't you in the banquet hall? Why are you here?"
"I was worried, so I came to look for you." Shen Changhe stared at her.
Lin Yurou lowered her head slightly, bitterness spreading in her mouth, "Don't worry, I cherish my life and won't do anything stupid."
Shen Changhe didn't respond and said, "Our wedding date is in half a month. I'll take you out to buy some jewelry and clothes in the next two days."
Lin Yurou bit her lip and nodded slightly after a while.
Shen Changhe's eyes suddenly brightened.
He said it many times, but she refused. Is she suddenly willing to accept it now?
"Okay, let's go after lunch."
Lin Yurou looked at his face which was filled with joy and she also felt very happy.
"Yu Rou, don't worry, I will definitely treat you well."
She slapped his hand away and said, "When did you learn to be so smooth-talking? We are still in An'an's yard. Aren't you afraid of being seen and laughed at?"
In the past, he was a fool who couldn't utter a single word.
Shen Changhe's handsome face seemed to blush.
Lin Yurou knew that it was rare for him to be able to achieve such a level, after all, he had a dull personality.
"Chang He, I have something to tell you."
"What?"
Lin Yurou bit her lower lip, pulled his sleeve and walked towards another path, finally sitting down in the pavilion.
"Do you still remember the banquet at the mansion that day, when the second young lady of the Duan family and I appeared at the waterside pavilion at the same time?"
"Remember."
"In fact, it was Duan Mengmeng who told me that day that you and her were in love, and that you were going to meet her secretly, so I followed you. You despised Duan Yingying for not knowing etiquette, but I was also one of them."
Shen Changhe looked at her steadily, "I know."
Lin Yurou was slightly startled and continued, "And that time, my cousin..."
"Before that day, I met your cousin at a literary poetry gathering. I don't know what kind of person he is, but he is quite talented." Shen Changhe said with a smile.
Lin Yurou was stunned again, "So, you knew from the beginning to the end that I was lying to you?"
"Not really." Shen Changhe shook his head slightly, "It's true that your cousin is a man, it's true that you and he rode in the same carriage, and it's also true that you said you wanted to marry him."
"So, it's true that I'm jealous and angry."
He knew that her cousin was not as bad as she said, but so what? The more outstanding he was, the more jealous he was! !
Lin Yurou's eyes gradually turned red, and hot tears accumulated in them.
Suddenly she threw herself into Shen Changhe's arms, "I am so lucky to meet you."
"Then will you marry me?"
"Will you dislike me in the future? Those officers and soldiers that day... I..."
"As long as it's you, that's enough. Everything else doesn't matter." He stroked her long, smooth black hair to comfort her. "Those people are already dead. Don't be afraid."
He didn't care about those things, he just didn't want her to mention the past that she didn't want to mention.
"Let's go, the food should be ready soon. Let's go over there and go out to buy things after dinner."
He held her hand and walked towards the banquet hall with a soothing smile on his face.
Shen Anan came out of the yard with a cold face.
"Princess, it's getting late. Should we go to the banquet hall?"
"No hurry." Shen Anan stood in the yard and ordered coldly, "Go to the front yard and call Qingan."
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Mo Xiang didn't ask any more questions and immediately agreed.
"Princess, are you looking for my subordinates?" Soon, Qing'an came hurriedly.
"Go check what happened in the Lin Mansion during the time I was away?"
Qing'an was stunned.
After a moment, he hesitated and said, "The princess is talking about something related to Miss Lin?"
"You know?"
Qing An pursed his lips, "That night, Young Master Chen killed a lot of imperial guards, and the master sent subordinates to help deal with it, so... I know something."
Shen Anan glanced at the maids and servants coming and going nearby, and finally forced herself not to ask any more questions, "I know, let's talk about it when we get back home."
Qingan nodded slightly, took a half step and followed Shen Anan to the front yard banquet hall.
Xiao Yuan and Shen Wen had been discussing government affairs. She walked over slowly and, as expected, he hooked his little finger around hers.
Shen Anan glanced at him, withdrew her hand and sat down as if nothing had happened. Xiao Yuan took the time to turn around and smiled faintly at her.
Sitting opposite were Shen Changhe and Lin Yurou.
From the beginning of the banquet, Shen Changhe kept picking up food for Lin Yurou, which was very considerate.
Shen Anan paid attention to Lin Yurou's expression and felt that she seemed to be much more cheerful than when she was talking to her just now, and the sadness between her brows was slowly easing.
I guess I figured it out.
