Early in the morning, I need to go to the main courtyard to pay my respects to Nan Yao and Madam Nan.
Shen Huaixu waited outside Nanzhi's room for a long time before she finally came out.
His gaze paused slightly when he saw the bangs swept up on her right side.
Nan Zhi was in a particularly good mood now that both of her eyes could see the light of day. She yawned, but when she passed by Shen Huaixu, she still had that arrogant and conceited look.
"My mom's nagging, you'd better cooperate later, or I'll spank your bottom when we get back."
Shen Huaixu watched her retreating figure and agreed expressionlessly.
I still hate it just as much as before.
No, it's even more annoying than before.
Main courtyard.
Nan Wan arrived before Nan Zhi.
She heard last night that Nan Zhi was coming to pay her respects to Nan Yao and Madam Nan, and she estimated that she would arrive soon.
She looked at the two people sitting in the main seat and said gently, "Father, Mother, although Brother Shen was born into poverty, it is really too much for my sister to always humiliate him like this."
Nan Wan is gentle, obedient, and knows how to talk to make people happy. Both Nan Yao and Madam Nan are extremely fond of this youngest daughter.
They knew that Nan Zhi was harsh to people, and although they were not satisfied, they still felt sorry for the birthmark on her face.
Madam Nan could only think, "Things should get better when your sister gets pregnant."
"But Brother Shen is not willing..."
Nan Wan wanted to say more, but suddenly heard a mocking laugh from outside.
"Brother Shen, Brother Shen, anyone who didn't know better would think Brother Shen is your lover."
It is Nan Zhi.
Nan Wan never expected that she would be so concerned about her calling Shen Huaixu that way today.
She hadn't bothered to talk to her before.
Nan Wan turned around and saw Nan Zhi walk in.
She wore a pink and white dress with silver trim and wide sleeves, tied with a pear-blossom white sash with gold flecks. Her hair was casually tied into a bun, with a pink lotus hairpin inserted at an angle, giving her a somewhat carefree and languid look.
The bangs that usually covered her eyes were pulled back, revealing a large, glaring birthmark.
It was originally extremely ugly, but paired with Nan Zhi's aloof gaze and her pink and white gown, the birthmark actually resembled a blooming lotus flower, exuding an imposing aura.
No matter what, that birthmark is still an eyesore.
Nan Wan pursed her lips, and when she caught sight of Shen Huaixu behind her, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.
Shen Huaixu was no longer wearing those tattered hemp clothes. Today he was wearing a fine ivory-white floral robe, and his hair was held up by a single wooden hairpin. His figure was tall and graceful, and when he came against the light, he looked like an immortal descending to earth.
Most importantly, his clothes were in the same color scheme as hers, and when they stood together, they gave the illusion that they were the real couple.
Thinking of this, Nan Wan blushed slightly and lowered her head.
This morning, when Meimei went to deliver clothes to Shen Huaixu, he noticed that almost all of the clothes she delivered were white.
He didn't like white, but there was nothing he could say.
Upon seeing Nan Wan, he subconsciously looked at Nan Zhi, only to find that she wasn't angry; a fleeting look of satisfaction crossed her eyes.
Nan Zhi felt that since Shen Huaixu was interested in Nan Wan, she should try to bring them together. They looked so well-matched standing together.
Nan Wan apologized to her, "I'm sorry, sister. I'm just used to calling you that and I haven't changed it yet."
Nanzhi patted her shoulder, "I'm just kidding, you can call me whatever you want."
You can call him "husband" or "sir".
She just spoke offhand.
Given that Nan Wan seemed a bit pretentious, she spoke up almost instinctively.
But it doesn't matter. Who doesn't put on an act in front of their crush when they're fifteen or sixteen and just starting to fall in love?
Now, all we can do is try to salvage the situation.
Nan Wan was surprised that she wasn't angry. She was stunned for a moment, and before she could say anything, Nan Zhi bumped into her and she fell to the side.
Shen Huaixu was standing next to her. She subconsciously reached out to take his hand, but he avoided it.
Nan Wan fell to the ground.
Nan Zhi deliberately created an opportunity for the two of them, but Shen Huaixu actually dodged it.
She felt a pang of regret, but true to the original owner's nature, she didn't apologize to Nan Wan. After bowing to Nan Yao and Madam Nan, she said, "Father, Mother, I have already consummated my marriage with Shen Huaixu according to your wishes. Can you please stop interfering with me from now on?"
Madam Nan held her hand and said earnestly, "Zhizhi, your father and I have discussed it. As long as you give birth to a son or daughter, your father and I will not take care of you anymore. You can do whatever you want."
"You guys are so annoying. I don't like having children. Let whoever wants to have them have them."
Nanzhi pulled her hand back and turned to walk outside.
She didn't call Shen Huaixu, but let him stay in the main courtyard and get to know Nan Wan more.
Nan Yao and Madam Nan were already used to Nan Zhi's spoiled temper.
Nan Yao looked at Shen Huaixu and said, "You know Nan Zhi's temper. I know you've suffered a lot this past year, but since you've become my Nan family's son-in-law, you should try to appease her."
Madam Nan also advised, "Yes, feelings can be cultivated. If you coax her a little, she might change her temperament. Then you can have the child, and everything will be fine."
...
The two said countless kind words to each other.
As Shen Huaixu walked out of the main courtyard, Nan Wan followed behind him and asked, "Brother Shen, you're not really going to have a child with my sister, are you?"
The way she looked at Shen Huaixu was like that of a betrayed couple, somewhat hurt.
Nanzhi hid around the corner, slowly watching this scene.
She was curious to hear what Shen Huaixu would say.
"Won't."
Nan Wan's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Tsk, she's her older sister, why is she so happy not to have a child with her?
In Nanzhi's mind, there are two things men will never touch.
I don't touch my sisters, and I don't touch things I can't afford to mess with.
This girl is really brave.
And there were the things she said for Shen Huaixu in front of Nan Yao and Madam Nan.
Why didn't she say it earlier or later, but waited until she and Shen Huaixu were almost there before bringing it up?
...that makes it difficult to evaluate.
However, Shen Huaixu must have been extremely moved.
Otherwise, why would he speak so gently to her, even though he was afraid she would misunderstand, and explain to her that he wouldn't have children with her?
Nanzhi didn't feel much.
It only strengthened my resolve to earn points and run with the ball in the future.
Nanzhi thought she had hidden it well, but her skirt was showing.
Shen Huaixu deliberately said "no," partly because he genuinely didn't know, but also to test whether she would get angry and come out.
But unexpectedly, she left.
He smelled the scent fading into the distance, his gaze becoming somewhat profound.
"Brother Shen, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing."
Nan Wan wanted to say something more, but then she saw Shen Huaixu nod at her and turn to leave.
As Nan Wan watched his retreating figure, the smile on her lips grew increasingly pronounced.
Brother Shen, you look so handsome.
Shen Huaixu no longer had to do any rough or strenuous work, and at noon, the food served downstairs was much more plentiful.
At first glance, it looks rather strange.
What about sheep penis, bull penis, and pig kidney...?
The servant who brought the food said in a sarcastic tone, "It's the master and mistress's idea. Young master, eat more to nourish your body, lest you be unable to function after just one night."
