Chapter 21 Clingy
It doesn't matter how cruel she is, she just can't bear to see her brother's enthusiasm go to waste.
"Brother, take a look at this box first. It contains the gift Liang sent me the day after I fell into the water."
Shen Qi was shocked. Why would his younger sister call his wife Liang?
When they, brother and sister, went to the temple to pray for their grandmother, they saw a beggar being bullied on the way. It was Liang who came to the rescue. Both of them had a good impression of her.
After that, the kind and beautiful Liang won his heart even more, and he asked his mother for marriage.
Her mother disagreed, thinking that her father held a low official position and her stepmother was in charge of the family. Fortunately, she had her younger sister to help him.
Liang must have done something to make his younger sister angry, and he just needs to coax her.
He took the box, opened it, and rummaged through it. Were they all children's toys?
"This... Don't be angry, little sister. I'll go back and ask her and give you the best one."
"Brother, we have been deceived. Our encounter with Liang was a conspiracy..."
Shen Qi was stunned. What was his sister talking about?
Looking at the paper in his hand, Shen Qi felt dizzy. Did Liang have a childhood sweetheart before getting married?
But her childhood sweetheart was snatched away by her stepsister. She vowed to marry a powerful man, and the first person she seduced was Xie Yunzheng? ? ?
He is just her...third target!
She always used the same tricks, and she was too lazy to even change them!
Chen Qi fell down on the couch. How could it be possible? "Little sister, how did you know this? This is impossible! Liang..."
She was kind and wonderful, couldn't even speak out loud, and was pregnant with his first child.
Chen Shurong knew that it was difficult for him to accept it, and so was she. Every time her mother and grandmother spoke too harshly to Liang, she would side with Liang, "Brother, we are just too kind and were taken advantage of. The old ones are still the wisest. Mother and grandmother may have seen that she is scheming a long time ago."
Chen Qi didn't dare to believe it, and didn't want to believe it. For the first time, he understood what it meant to fall in love.
Having been pampered since childhood, he was not approachable, but Liang's purity attracted him. He could not imagine that being willing to approach the wife of a dirty and smelly beggar in person was a plot against him.
My younger sister is kind, but she can’t do it. She will vomit when she sees something dirty.
Yes, why didn't she feel sick? He even wanted to squat beside the tree roots and vomit.
"Brother, if she loves you, I don't think there's anything wrong with using some tricks." Because she had just done this kind of thing.
"But you are her third choice. Even including her childhood sweetheart, you are the fourth. I can't stand it."
"What I find most unacceptable is that her childhood sweetheart, who is now her brother-in-law, passed the imperial examination last year, and they met secretly."
There were only the brother and sister in the room. When the eldest princess learned that her grandson had arrived, she thought something bad was wrong, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurried over.
If Chen Shurong didn't let him in and didn't take any drastic measures, he would always be immersed in his own fantasy love. Instead of being disappointed after giving it his all, it would be better to cut the Gordian knot.
Chen Qi covered his face with his hands, tears streaming from between his fingers. When he realized it, he suddenly felt his face getting hot, as if he had made a fool of himself in front of his little sister.
Chen Shurong knew what he was thinking without asking, "We brothers and sisters will always be the closest people. I cried more in your arms. Brother, don't worry about it. The most important thing now is another thing."
After listening to this, Shen Qi learned another extraordinary thing.
"Grandmother is on the side of the prince, but he wants to bring us down?"
Chen Qi felt that the world had been turned upside down and that he had lived in vain for twenty-one years.
“So brother, compared to the lives of the same family, is the Liang family still important?”
Chen Qi's attention was completely diverted and he shook his head. His home was gone, and Liang's family was naturally gone too. What was the point of being sad?
So this is why my younger sister took over the treasury.
Chen Qi walked out of Chen Shurong's room, his expression had returned to normal. In front of family and life, love is not worth mentioning.
The eldest princess and the princess consort were waiting in the corridor. They knew that Liang was not as weak and simple as she looked, but they never expected that she would be so bold as to plot against the prince of the prince's mansion.
When the two saw Shen Qi coming out, they gathered around to look at him.
"Grandma, mother, my son is blind and will never do that again in the future."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were relieved to see that he was fine. The princess took her son home, and the two pretended that nothing had happened. They would see tomorrow if she would really leave the house.
The eldest princess still went in to find Chen Shurong. Her granddaughter was too ruthless, so she should be more tactful.
"Grandma, a needle prick will only hurt for a moment. If she bandages it later, the needle will be in vain." Only a sharp cut that can stop the bleeding will be effective. She couldn't even bandage it.
Chen Shurong knew her brother's character very well, and would not allow them to remain naive in this life.
The eldest princess also knew this, but after all, he was her own grandson, so she couldn't bring herself to do such a cruel thing.
"Grandma, don't worry. Although my brother is kind, he can handle it." Among the royal relatives living in the imperial city, who can be really ignorant of the ways of the world?
The eldest princess went back with a sigh. She thought that with her around, her grandchildren would always be glorious, but she didn't expect that internal and external troubles would always exist.
She is old and can no longer protect her grandchildren. Seeing Yongjia's current condition, she feels much more relieved.
Shen Shurong went to find Xie Yunzhao, who was sitting in the accounting office looking at the account book. It was not easy to get him to sit down and feel at ease.
"What are you looking at?"
"Your brother is gone?"
"Yeah." Shen Shurong looked listless.
Xie Yunzhao saw that he couldn't ask where he wanted to go, "Are you unhappy?"
"Did you see it?" Chen Shurong sat beside him, his head gently resting on his shoulder, "Brother Yun Zhao, isn't kindness the most beautiful virtue? Why do kind people get bullied?"
Xie Yunzhao's heart moved slightly. He could feel that his little girl began to rely on him. "Rongrong, in a world without desires, you can be kind, but people have seven emotions and six desires, so it's hard to guarantee that they won't have evil intentions."
Shen Shurong leaned over to look at him, "Can't the person next to you be trusted?"
Xie Yunzhao was dazzled by her dark eyes, their breaths sprayed together, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red.
My lover, what is she afraid of?
Or maybe something went wrong with the Shen Qi couple?
Staring into her eyes, Xie Yunzhao said word by word: "I don't know about others, but Rongrong, don't worry, you can trust me for the rest of your life."
Shen Shurong was in a rare better mood, "I have something to do tomorrow, so don't come."
Xie Yunzhao nodded, not being too clingy, "Okay."
…
At night, it was cloudy and rainy. Chen Qi stood under the eaves of the study, watching the raindrops fall to the ground, slowly gathering together, and finally flowing into the gaps between the stone bricks.
Even if she approached him with a purpose, and he had taken care of her in every possible way during the year of their marriage, and her mother had suggested taking a concubine several times, but he had always rejected it, could he still not win her heart?
"Husband, why are you standing here?" Liang came over, holding her waist, and her maid held an umbrella for her.
