Looking at her pitiful younger brother, Sheng Lingwei's motherly heart almost melted.
At the same time, I felt a little guilty.
After all, she arrived a little late. Knowing she was in the wrong, she quickly smiled and hugged Nangong Zichen, saying things to cheer him up.
"Oh dear brother, a day apart feels like three autumns, and the months you've been gone have felt like an eternity."
I've missed you so much these days! Have you missed me too?
Oh, I must say, my little brother is just so good-looking. I love him no matter how I look at him. Not only has he grown taller, but his hair has also grown longer, and he's become even more handsome and charming. His superpowers have also improved. I'm so proud of him.
Oh my gosh, this handsome young man is actually my younger brother, Sheng Lingwei! Just thinking about it makes me so proud, hahaha!
"elder sister!"
Nangong Zichen blushed and stomped her foot in embarrassment. Her feigned grievance instantly crumbled, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Hehe, my sister's embrace is as warm as ever, and her words are as sweet as ever!
Sheng Lingwei sensed the change in her younger brother's attitude and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had grasped her brother's weakness.
"Little brother, you still haven't told me if you miss me or not."
Nangong Zichen looked up at Sheng Lingwei with starry eyes, his tone both dependent and earnest.
"Sister, of course I miss you. I've been looking forward to your and brother-in-law's arrival these past few days, but I've been waiting and waiting and they haven't come. You have no idea how heartbroken I am."
Sheng Lingwei's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly gave Jing Qingyun a look, asking him to help coax her younger brother.
Jing Qingyun smiled indulgently and stepped forward to subtly pull Nangong Zichen out of Sheng Lingwei's arms.
He said that this was only to make it easier to talk to Nangong Zichen, and it wasn't because of any jealousy. Please don't misunderstand!
Just as Nangong Zichen was looking accusing.
Jing Qingyun smiled and patted his shoulder affectionately, then gave him a big hug.
"Wuyou, it's been a long time. You've become even more robust. It seems you've suffered a bit these past few months. I'll have Rong Mama prepare some nutritious meals for you to help you recover."
Nangong Zichen: ...Brother-in-law is so stingy, he hasn't even hugged my sister enough yet!
o(′^｀)o I'm so angry about getting fat!
Sheng Lingwei blinked. "Little brother, what's wrong? It's only been a few months since we last met, and you've already become estranged from your brother-in-law?"
Nangong Zichen pouted and shook his head, "Sister, you don't understand things between men!"
Sheng Lingwei: "Uh... okay! Then sister, you should shut up and get out of the way. You and your brother-in-law should have a good chat about the feelings between men."
"Oh dear, sister!" Nangong Zichen said anxiously, quickly explaining, "That's not what I meant, please don't misunderstand."
"Pfft!"
Sheng Lingwei couldn't help but laugh out loud, her eyes full of doting affection. She reached out and rubbed Nangong Zichen's little head, "Alright, alright, look how anxious you are. I was just teasing you."
By the way, I brought you some special delicacies from Chaozhou this time, I guarantee you'll love them.
In addition, your brother-in-law built a house for you in Yucheng County, fully furnished, so you can move in right away.
That house is yours now. You can go and live there whenever you want.
A mansion?! (?˙▽˙?)
Nangong Zichen smiled, his eyes crinkling.
I never would have guessed that his brother-in-law treated him so well. Oh well, for the sake of the house, he won't hold it against his brother-in-law.
Then, smiling broadly, she looked up at Jing Qingyun and thanked him, "Brother-in-law, Wuyou thanks you!"
Jing Qingyun smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, we're family, there's no need to be so polite."
Now Yucheng County has been rebuilt and has undergone tremendous changes. The environment is beautiful, the buildings are dignified and grand, and it is quite suitable for living.
"After you've settled things in the Western Zhou Kingdom, you can come back to live with us in Yucheng County, okay?"
Nangong Zichen's eyes widened in disbelief.
∑(?д??lll)
He reached out and felt Jing Qingyun's forehead to check his temperature. "Brother-in-law, you don't have a fever! Why did you suddenly invite me to live in Yucheng County?"
Jing Qingyun: "..."
Nangong Zichen knew very well.
My brother-in-law always behaves virtuously, kindly, and generously in front of my sister.
But he knew that his brother-in-law was extremely possessive of his sister and did not want any other man to take away his sister's affection, including him, her brother-in-law.
In short, he suspected that his brother-in-law's actions were suspicious!
Seeing Nangong Zichen's probing gaze, Jing Qingyun awkwardly touched her nose. "Wuyou, why are you looking at me like that?"
Good lad, as expected of Weiwei's younger brother, he's quite clever and quick-witted, discovering his ill intentions so soon.
Okay! Actually, it wasn't that I had bad intentions.
She just wanted to please her brother-in-law.
After all, he was about to meet his father-in-law, and he was both nervous and uneasy, fearing that his father-in-law would not like him.
Therefore, he thought of ingratiating himself with his brother-in-law in advance, so that his brother-in-law would speak up for him and reduce his pressure.
Nangong Zichen crossed his arms and hummed twice.
"Brother-in-law, tell me! Did you upset my sister? Or do you want something from me?"
Oh my god! There was this part too?
Sheng Lingwei blinked, and the siblings looked at Jing Qingyun with the same expression.
"This, I..." Jing Qingyun smiled helplessly. He couldn't lie to the person he cared about most, so he had to tell the truth.
"Alright! I do have something I'd like to ask Wuyou for help with, but don't misunderstand, the matter of building a house for you was something your sister and I discussed a long time ago."
Next, Jing Qingyun told him what she wanted, and her ears unconsciously turned pink.
He was really going all out.
Nangong Zichen immediately understood and readily agreed to Jing Qingyun's request, patting his chest.
I thought it was something serious.
It turns out my brother-in-law wanted him to put in a good word for him with the Emperor.
This request was nothing to him. Even if he didn't say it, he would try his best to bring the two together in front of his father for his sister's happiness.
Unfortunately, his brother-in-law doesn't seem to be very bright and can't handle being fried.
Just then, Zhu Kui, accompanied by a group of Southern Di generals, excitedly approached Sheng Lingwei, saying, "Your subordinates pay their respects to the princess! Long live the princess!"
Sheng Lingwei smiled and stepped forward to help Zhu Kui up. "Uncle Kui, it's been a long time. Thank you for taking good care of Wuyou these past few months."
Zhu Kui quickly shook his head with a smile, "It's not hard work, it's what I should do."
"By the way, Princess, I have brought a group of generals with me to pay our respects. They are all veteran generals of our Southern Di, who have rendered outstanding service to the Southern Di and are deeply trusted by the Emperor."
