Chapter 190 Even My Own Sister Is Urging Me to Get Married
But he's content to be subservient to others?
He's so capable, why not take his place?
Instead, he allowed Su Xuanmao to sit on the throne.
There are just too many suspicious points.
Shen Pingjin couldn't help but put Chu Jin, Lu Qingjia, and her mother together again. Her mother was wearing strange clothes and said that she had come to rob a tomb... and that she was robbing Jiajia's tomb?
In her previous life, Shen Ruixue framed her many times and even successfully seduced Su Xuanmao. But in this life, Shen Ruixue successfully got together with Su Xuanmao very early on.
But judging from Shen Ruixue's expression, the two don't seem to get along very well.
The butterfly effect brought about by her rebirth was so great that Shen Pingjin felt for the first time that her brain seemed a little inadequate.
Moonlight streamed slowly through the paper window. Shen Pingjin thought that since Shen Ruixue hadn't done anything to harm her in this life, she should let go of her hatred and deal with Yan Jue, Jiajia, her father, and her brother first.
Thinking this way, Chen Pingjin slowly fell asleep.
-
The next day, Shen Pingjin was awakened by a series of hurried footsteps.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Yan Jue sitting on the soft seat next to me.
"Yan Jue?"
With a "glug", Chen Pingjin got off the soft couch.
Yan Jue hurried over, his face showing reproach.
"Look at you, why are you in such a hurry? When Chief Shen sees you like this, he'll blame me for not taking good care of you."
Upon hearing the words "Shen Canling," Shen Pingjin moved even faster.
Yan Jue frowned slightly and sighed.
Then he picked up the clothes next to him.
"Beside me."
Shen Pingjin was surprised that Yan Jue understood her meaning. Just as she was about to reach out to take the clothes, she heard a creak and the door was pushed open heavily.
Yan Jue remained calm, seemingly used to it.
But Shen Pingjin's reaction was much stronger. When she saw the person's face clearly, she instinctively called out, "Brother!"
Shen Ling looked up toward the source of the sound, and after seeing Shen Pingjin's surprised expression, she quickly responded.
"sister!"
The scene became somewhat dramatic for a moment.
Shen Ling was about to take the ginseng, lingzhi and other things she was holding when she noticed that her younger sister was wearing a snow-white undergarment.
And his hand was still hanging in the air, as if he was about to catch someone's clothes.
Shen Ling immediately turned around: "This is really against the rules. I even came a little late on purpose, but I didn't expect this..."
Shen Ling glanced helplessly at the clothes in Shen Pingjin's hand, shook her head, and turned to leave.
The door slammed shut before Chen Pingjin could even speak.
Yan Jue slowly picked up the clothes that had fallen to the ground.
"Hurry up and get dressed, go out and see your brother."
As she spoke, she turned around calmly, the slight curve of her lips clearly visible, even to the still astonished Shen Pingjin.
Shen Pingjin gritted her teeth, first glancing at the clothes in her hand, then at Yan Jue beside her, and finally at the tightly closed door.
In the end, he said nothing and obediently changed his clothes.
"Yan Jue".
Chen Pingjin spoke up to remind him.
Yan Jue turned around, raised an eyebrow, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes when he saw Chen Pingjin, who had changed her clothes.
The light blue butterfly-buttoned dress was adorned with a pale yellow hue underneath, making it a striking sight.
He had only known that Shen Pingjin was the most beautiful girl in the world when she wore peach blossom color, but he never expected that she would wear lake green and look like Xi Shi of West Lake.
He took Shen Pingjin's hand, leaving Shen Pingjin bewildered.
"Walk."
Yan Jue knew what Shen Pingjin was wondering about and spoke up to remind her.
Shen Pingjin immediately realized that she shouldn't have reacted that way, so she pushed open the door and went out.
The spring breeze carried a hint of warmth, making one feel a warm, verdant feeling in their heart. The two walked side by side on the bluestone path, feeling the gentle breeze on their faces, and saw Shen Ling waiting not far away.
Shen Ling was highly skilled in martial arts. Upon hearing footsteps coming from not far away, he immediately turned around.
My gaze fell on the two little hands that were clasped together.
The words I had prepared to say suddenly stopped on my lips.
Seeing that Shen Ling seemed hesitant to speak, Shen Pingjin decided to take the initiative and change the subject.
"Brother, you've finally decided to come back from the army to see Xiaojin?"
Shen Pingjin's words were a fatal blow. Shen Ling was stunned at first, but then immediately realized what was happening and a look of guilt flashed across her face.
“The border regions have been unstable lately. The southern barbarians and northern tribes are always looking for opportunities to take advantage of the situation. Your brother is very worried about this.”
"I do care about you, but a man should have ambitions beyond his hometown, so I... have no choice."
Shen Pingjin knew that in her previous life, her brother fought on the frontier for Dongyue and commanded a large army, which made him a target of Emperor Anqing's suspicion.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have heard the words "the tiger tally has fallen" after Su Xuanmao killed her with one blow.
Thinking of this, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
My voice choked up a little as I spoke.
“Brother, you’ve worked so hard for the court, yet the Emperor hasn’t promoted you or given you any titles. You…”
As she spoke, Shen Pingjin realized that what she said was not quite right. "Alright, it's your choice what you want to do."
Yan Jue held Shen Pingjin's hand tightly, and he could sense that the person next to him seemed to be suppressing some emotion.
He frowned slightly.
However, he did not say anything.
Upon hearing this, Shen Ling felt no resentment, but rather even more guilty.
His father married his mother, and they had only two children. As the older brother, he looked at his fair and delicate younger sister and just wanted to protect her behind him.
Unexpectedly, I broke my promise; it seems my younger sister wasn't someone I watched grow up.
Shen Ling glanced at Yan Jue with a complicated expression. Perhaps, he was right.
Shen Ling placed the precious medicinal herbs on the table: "It's my fault. I've been training in the military camp all these years and haven't been able to take care of you or visit you. I didn't even go when you got married."
"It's all my fault, I admit it."
Shen Pingjin was filled with regret when she said those words.
She was prepared to be rebuked by her brother, but to her surprise, he not only didn't say anything, but also admitted his mistake.
This surprised her somewhat.
After all, in her heart, Shen Ling had always been a person who cared about his image. Although he was good to her, his concern for his image was genuine.
Could this be a butterfly effect brought about by rebirth?
Thinking of this, Shen Pingjin quickly replied, "Brother, it's alright, but if you go to the battlefield in the future, you must come back safely. I... I still want to see you find me a sister-in-law."
Shen Ling was surprised that her younger sister was also urging her to get married, and scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly: "This might be a little difficult."
