At this moment, Jing Qingyun's heart was screaming like a groundhog.
Although he maintained the same expression throughout, Sheng Lingwei still keenly noticed the change in his emotions.
"Xiao Yunzi, Wuyou is just being immature, don't take it to heart."
Jing Qingyun's breath hitched, her heart softened instantly, and she radiated joy as she smiled at Sheng Lingwei.
"Weiwei, I'll listen to you."
Sheng Lingwei sighed helplessly.
Xiaoyunzi was truly submissive in front of her; he would agree to whatever she said. Could this be what Xiuer meant by being love-struck?
(??? д ???)!!!
She didn't seem to dislike it; on the contrary, she seemed secretly pleased.
Thinking of this, Sheng Lingwei's eyes flickered a few times, and she looked at Jing Qingyun carefully, reaffirming her previous decision.
He then turned to look at Nangong Zichen sitting on his right, his tone slightly serious.
“Little brother, you’re not young anymore. You can’t be so naughty. It’s only because your future brother-in-law is so magnanimous. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be able to stand your constant targeting.”
What?
Those around her were stunned by her words, staring at Sheng Lingwei with wide eyes and gossipy expressions. Even the melon seeds in their hands lost their appeal.
"Future brother-in-law?"
Nangong Zichen reacted a beat late, suddenly standing up and pointing at Jing Qingyun, his tone anxious and somewhat unable to accept it.
"Sister, when did he become my future brother-in-law? How come I didn't know?"
"Just now."
Sheng Lingwei smiled and removed her younger brother's impolite hand. "Little brother, you shouldn't point at others with your finger. It's very impolite."
If it were her past life, she would have broken anyone's hand if they dared to point a finger at her.
But this is her own younger brother, and she can't just break his hand. She has to teach him constantly to prevent him from going astray.
"elder sister!"
Nangong Zichen's tone suddenly rose, and his face almost scrunched up.
"Sister, this isn't about politeness. I just want to ask about your future brother-in-law."
Sheng Lingwei remained calm and composed, reaching out to pinch Nangong Zichen's cheek. "Wuyou, your sister has her own plans. Xiaoyunzi is the most suitable person for me. Do you understand?"
Nangong Zichen shook his head frantically, looking hurt. "I don't understand, I don't understand at all, sister, are you not going to want me anymore?"
With a sharp slap, Sheng Lingwei gave Nangong Zichen a light tap on the head, then gently asked, "Does it hurt?"
Nangong Zichen nodded blankly, looking at Sheng Lingwei with teary eyes, his tone aggrieved and heartbroken.
"It hurts so much, my head is almost numb, waah, sister, are you disgusted with me? You never hit me this hard before, waah, or is it because you have a future brother-in-law and you don't want me anymore?"
With a stern expression, Sheng Lingwei spouted nonsense with a straight face.
“Little brother, a beating is a sign of affection, a scolding is a sign of love. If your sister didn’t want you, she would have sent you back to the Southern Di Kingdom long ago, and she would never have hit you. Don’t you think so?”
Nangong Zichen's eyes lit up, and he instantly became happy. "Sister, it seems so. Then hit me a few more times, that will prove that you love me very much."
Netizens: ...It's just so frustrating. These siblings have really unique thought processes.
Sheng Lingwei: "..." Her silly little brother, if she weren't watching over him, he would have been sold off sooner or later, and he would have even helped count the money.
Why!
"Little brother, I won't hit you today. When you're feeling restless, come find your big sister, and I'll grant your wish to be beaten."
Nangong Zichen blinked. Why did her sister's words sound so strange?
Forget it, I'll just ignore it.
As long as his sister doesn't abandon him, he's willing to do anything she asks. He grinned happily, showing his little white teeth, and nodded with a grin.
"Okay, sister, it's settled then. Don't go back on your word!"
"Your sister is a woman of her word, and of course I won't go back on my word, but the condition is that you can't be unreasonable anymore, and you can't target your brother-in-law anymore."
Nangong Zichen's eyes widened immediately.
"Sister, he was just a little while ago he was my future brother-in-law, and now he's my brother-in-law. You're moving way too fast."
Also, does Brother Yun know about this? Have you consulted him about it?
After speaking, Nangong Zichen looked at Jing Qingyun, who was staring blankly, with a complicated expression.
I suddenly feel a little sorry for Brother Yun.
What's going on?
Sheng Lingwei smiled and waved her hand, displaying a rather forceful and domineering attitude.
"Your brother Yun is overjoyed, how could he possibly have any objections? Only you like to be so loud and boisterous, you have no restraint at all as a boy, don't do that again."
Nangong Zichen: ...He's not a girl, why does he need to be reserved?
My goodness.
Could it be that my sister has taken Brother Yun as a son-in-law? No, I mean, a young lady. Look at her domineering attitude; she doesn't give Brother Yun a chance to react at all.
Tsk tsk, poor Brother Yun.
He decided that he would take better care of him from now on, since only he could withstand his sister's domineering pressure.
Otherwise, given my sister's appearance...
It's unlikely any other man would dare to like her, and anyone who could fall for her would be no ordinary brave man!
I don't know why?
Nangong Zichen came to terms with it.
Although he wanted his sister's exclusive affection, she had her own life, and he couldn't be so selfish.
Besides, even if my sister finds a husband, she won't abandon him. Instead, she'll have another man to protect her. Why not?
Nangong Zichen immediately smiled and walked up to Jing Qingyun, patting him on the shoulder.
Jing Qingyun's eyes were deep and his body was stiff. He dared not move an inch, but his heart was already churning with anxiety, fearing that Nangong Zichen would not want him to be his brother-in-law.
(??w??)
Just as he was lost in thought, he heard Nangong Zichen say solemnly:
"Brother Yun, oh no, brother-in-law, from now on I'm entrusting my sister to your protection. I hope you won't let me down."
Brother-in-law!
Did he hear that right?
He became Nangong Zichen's brother-in-law so easily?
Jing Qingyun was incredibly excited, and a bright and dazzling smile gradually appeared on her face, her mouth stretching almost to the back of her head.
He forced himself to suppress his excitement, his voice trembling slightly as he solemnly promised his brother-in-law.
"Don't worry, your sister is the girl I cherish. Even if I am injured and lose my life, I would not want your sister to suffer any harm."
I will cherish her and protect her, letting her do what she loves, without having to worry about anyone's opinion, and without suffering any grievances or harm..."
Jing Qingyun went on and on, talking for quite a while, and was almost at the point of getting married and having children.
The onlookers listened with great interest, and even the kneeling bandits listened intently, almost clapping and cheering.
The happiest people were none other than Madam Jing and her two daughters-in-law, who wiped away tears of joy.
(﹏?) That wasn't easy!
After years of waiting, Qingyun finally got married.
I just hope Princess Chang Le won't return the goods.
