Where are you going?
Sheng Wenjin saw Chu Xinyuan holding Si Rouxue's hand. She had just been pricked by silver needles several times, and tears were still on her face.
He didn't know why, but even though he knew the person in front of him couldn't be Wen Wan, he still felt a pang of heartache seeing this woman cry!
"Big brother, do you think this Sister Si looks like Sister Wen?"
Sheng Wanwan excitedly ran to Sheng Wenjin's legs and said, "She might just be able to help my brother find the woman he's been dreaming about!"
"It looks a lot like her! But it's not! She couldn't possibly have survived!"
Sheng Wenjin glanced at Si Rouxue, then lowered his eyes to hide the desolation in them.
"Big brother, squat down a little, I'll tell you something about her!"
Sheng Wanwan stretched out her two chubby little hands and pointed at Si Rouxue.
Sheng Wenjin lowered his head and obediently squatted down.
Sheng Wanwan leaned close to Sheng Wenjin's ear and whispered to him about the state of Si Rouxue's soul that she had just seen.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Wenjin's eyes reddened.
"Wanwan, are you telling the truth?"
"Big brother, I can let you see how my sister is tonight too!"
Sheng Wanwan said with a smile.
If we can really help our brother find Sister Wen, then our brother will be very happy.
Mother no longer needs to worry about her eldest brother's marriage.
You know, these days, Mother has been worrying herself sick about my eldest brother's marriage.
I bring my older brother a bunch of pictures of pretty girls all the time, but he doesn't even glance at them.
These past few days, my mother has been sighing constantly, fearing that my eldest brother will live a lonely life like this.
"good!"
Sheng Wenjin stood up as he spoke.
He slowly approached Si Rouxue and stood there gazing at her without moving.
"Cousin, you? You know her?"
Chu Xinyuan was surprised to see Sheng Wenjin looking at Si Rouxue with red eyes.
She had heard her mother say that her aunt was worried sick about her older cousin's marriage. Her aunt had arranged many marriages for him, but he didn't want any of them.
Really? This is the one he's interested in?
Although she is very beautiful, I wonder if my aunt can accept marrying a woman like her.
Sheng Wenjin ignored Chu Xinyuan; he just stared blankly into Si Rouxue's eyes, as if trying to see her soul through her body.
Sheng Wanwan gently tugged at Chu Xinyuan's sleeve, blinking her big eyes happily.
"Cousin, this woman might be Big Brother's lover from a past life!"
"My lover from a past life?"
Chu Xinyuan glanced at Sheng Wenjin, then at Si Rouxue, and finally looked down at her little cousin.
"Really? My cousin's past life lover was an idiot? That's a bit much..."
Chu Xinyuan flinched as she spoke, because Sheng Wenjin, who was usually gentle and refined, now looked at her with a chilling aura emanating from his entire body.
Chu Xinyuan felt Sheng Wenjin's cold gaze and couldn't help but shudder, then quickly shut her mouth.
"Hehehe... Don't you dare call Sister Si silly, I'm telling you!"
Sheng Wanwan gestured for Chu Xinyuan to squat down, as she wanted to tell Chu Xinyuan some gossip about Sheng Wenjin and Sister Wenwan.
Just as Chu Xinyuan was about to squat down, she heard Sheng Wenjin say:
"Wanwan, let's go back!"
Chu Xinyuan instantly understood: her older cousin didn't want his younger cousin to tell her gossip about them!
She wisely stood up again.
"Oh! But, big brother, aren't we going to avenge Sister Si?"
"We were playing in the garden when we saw this maid bullying Sister Si! That needle was so long, and this naughty maid stabbed it into Sister Si's shoulder!"
Sister Si must have been in so much pain back then... So pitiful!
Sheng Wanwan complained to the little maid.
Upon hearing Sheng Wanwan's words, the young maidservant quickly waved her hand:
"No, no... I'm punishing this young lady for her own good. If I'm not strict, she won't learn to play the zither, and she'll become a good-for-nothing! I..."
Before the maid could finish speaking, Sheng Wenjin waved his hand, and she could no longer utter a word.
The young maid looked at Sheng Wenjin in horror. Who exactly was this man? How could she be rendered speechless with just a wave of his hand?
"Shut up! Since you're doing this for your young lady's sake, then go with her to the General's mansion and serve her!"
Sheng Wenjin spoke these words coldly. If he didn't want this maid to die too easily, he would have taken her life right now.
The young maid shook her head in terror and knelt down on the ground with a thud.
She realized that the man in front of her seemed to care a lot about their young lady, and if she went with him, he would definitely make things difficult for her.
Sheng Wenjin ignored the little maid and with a casual wave of his hand, the little maid's eyes lost their light and she became dazed.
Chu Xinyuan swallowed hard as she looked at Sheng Wenjin, and stammered:
"Wan...Wanwan, is my older cousin...is he even human?"
"Yes! He is my eldest brother, my own brother! But right now, the soul supporting his body is a celestial soul, second cousin, let me tell you..."
Sheng Wanwan and Chu Xinyuan whispered to each other.
This time, Sheng Wenjin didn't stop Sheng Wanwan from telling Chu Xinyuan his secret. In any case, if Sheng Wanwan thought someone was trustworthy, then they were definitely trustworthy; otherwise, she wouldn't have become close to them.
After all, Sheng Wanwan's physiognomy skills were already superb, and she was quite accurate in judging people.
Sheng Wenjin took Si Rouxue's hand and whispered:
