The little girl grew up, and when she smiled her eyes were like beautiful moons, so innocent.
He was not familiar with this little cousin as there was a huge age gap between them. When his cousin came to live in the mansion, she didn't play with him and was even a little afraid of him.
She seemed a little bolder today.
Madam Zhou called Shen Shuyi over, “Yier, come and sit here with your grandmother, so you won’t get tired later.”
"I heard from your mother that she fainted several times on the way to Luoyang by boat. She will have dinner and rest early."
The second daughter-in-law Cui looked at Shen Shuyi meaningfully and asked, "Is the prescription I asked the imperial physician to prescribe a few days ago now available for use, Yi'er?"
Zhou Shu replied, "I have tried all of them, but they don't work very well."
"Yier is weak and may have difficulty conceiving in the future." Cui glanced at her son who had a bright future. This year's autumn examination had passed and all that was left was the spring examination next year. If he won the first place in the examination and then took part in the palace examination, he would most likely become the top scorer!
Madam Zhou said, "Yier will live in Luoyang permanently. There will be imperial doctors to follow up and treat him. He will recover soon."
"Now that everyone is here, let's go to the front hall to have lunch."
After the old lady spoke, Cui had no choice but to give up.
Shen Shuyi naturally understood what Cui meant. Didn't she just want to break off the engagement?
The Mansion of the General Guarding the Country has always been clean, and there are no business experts in the family. They have been living on the salaries issued by the court over the years.
Fortunately, the eldest son had military merits and an official position, but the second son's family was in the literary field, especially Zhou Xuanmin, who had to take the imperial examinations, so he had to socialize.
Because of this marriage relationship, Chen Shan had given Zhou Xuanmin a lot of money over the years, hoping that the Zhou family would treat their daughter well in the future. Cui was very generous with her future in-laws' money and had a lot of face in the circle of noble ladies in Luoyang. She was also very generous with her son's studies and friends.
Now he despises the Shen girl's weak health and is thinking of canceling the engagement. Why did he agree so readily back then?
The voice of System 66 sounded in Shen Shuyi’s mind.
[Host, the original owner's wish was to cancel the engagement and take revenge on Zhou Xuanmin and Princess Chu Huiji. ]
At this time, maids brought dishes served on exquisite porcelain plates into the hall one by one, and the tempting aroma of food wafted in the air.
Shen Shuyi sat down next to Madam Zhou, and things about the original owner, Zhou Xuanmin, and Chu Huiji popped up in his mind.
Chu Huiji fell in love with the talented and beautiful Zhou Xuanmin, and learned that he had a sickly fiancée. Due to the strict discipline of the emperor, she could not openly take his love away, so she designed a plan at the peony banquet to make the original fiancée lose her virginity to a playboy in Luoyang.
The original owner made a fool of herself at the Peony Banquet hosted by the royal family, and Cui broke off the engagement with the Shen family without saying a word. After the two families had such a quarrel, the Zhou family could not step in to save the marriage even if they loved their granddaughter.
The Shen couple then took their beloved daughter back to Yuhang, but unexpectedly they encountered a bandit on the river, and the three of them all died at the bottom of the river.
After the original owner's death, the wronged souls lingered for a long time. Only then did they know that Princess Huiji hired someone to kill them in order to eliminate the trouble forever.
[Host, the target of your mission in this world is Zhou Qian, the eldest grandson of the Great General who guards the country. He is twenty-five years old this year. He was seriously injured on the battlefield and lost the ability to have children. He has never been married. ]
[Rong 66 reminds you that the original owner was particularly afraid of this bold and rough cousin and would avoid him whenever they met. So Zhou Qian thought you hated him, and he didn’t like a weak girl like the original owner...]
Chen Shuyi felt a bit of a headache. There were several tables for this welcoming banquet, and the dishes were rich. After a few bites, he lost his appetite. Perhaps it was because he had not rested well during the past few days on the boat.
Old Madam Zhou took pity on her frail body and had her sent to a side room to rest early.
Shen Shuyi was so exhausted that he fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.
"66, the original owner was a premature baby and was weak since birth. This disease needs to be treated well. Fortunately, I learned medical skills before."
[Host, you can directly redeem the health-enhancing pills in one go. ]
Shen Shuyi shook his head gently, "There's no need to waste points. I'm sure I can cure it, and it's okay to have a temporary weakness. Isn't there a saying that softness overcomes hardness? I want to see if Zhou Qian will fall for it."
"Besides, I don't want to marry Zhou Xuanmin after I get better. This mother and son don't look good."
[Host, do you need to pinch your face? ]
The original owner had a beauty so stunning that she could make fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame on the flowers. She was stunning even without makeup.
But... my body is indeed a little thin due to long-term illness, especially my chest...
"Pinch it, hmm, it will make your curves more graceful."
[Ding——Adjustment completed, please check. ]
Shen Shuyi picked up the mirror dropped by the system, her skin became whiter, her figure became flexible and full, her posture was like a willow, but the curve in front of her body was extremely proud.
Just one glance can easily make people fall in love.
"I am very satisfied. Thank you 66. I will take a nap first."
[Host, good afternoon. 66 wishes you a sweet dream~]
I don’t know if 66’s words came true, but Shen Shuyi really had a dream.
She dreamed that she was walking in the huge General's Mansion. Her legs were sore and weak, and she almost fell down when the tall Zhou Qian helped her up.
I saw myself in the dream raise my eyes and say softly to Zhou Qian, "Cousin Yan Zhao, my legs are weak, please carry me back."
The tall and cold man actually stretched out his arms, grabbed the person in his arms and held him up sideways.
So easy!
Shen Shuyi took the opportunity to hug his neck, her cheek against his, and her nervous breathing fell into his ears.
For some reason Zhou Qian quickened her pace. This was not the way back to the wing room, so the man actually carried her to the rockery in the back garden.
He hugged her so tightly that Shen Shuyi seemed to feel something hard pressing against her.
Shen Shuyi was shy and curious, and was about to ask Zhou Qian what that was when she suddenly woke up.
She screamed, rolled up the quilt and turned over. She was suddenly startled to see her mother sitting on the bed and trying to wipe her sweat.
When Zhou Shu heard her daughter scream, she quickly comforted her, "What's wrong with Yi'er? Did you have a nightmare?"
Shen Shuyi blushed and dared not say anything, so she just said vaguely: "Well, I dreamed of a wild wolf..."
"Don't be afraid, Yi'er." Zhou Shu wiped the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief. "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Mother asked Chuntao to make some medicine for you."
"Mom, I'm fine."
Zhou Shu hesitated to speak, "Yier, don't take your second aunt's words to heart. If you have anything to say, just tell mother. Don't dwell on it and tire yourself out."
Shen Shuyi nodded and clenched the corner of her clothes, “Mom, I understand what my second aunt means, she doesn’t like me.”
First, she was a merchant woman, and then she was frail.
Cui felt that her son was so capable that he was more than qualified to be Princess Shang.
Zhou Shu frowned. If her daughter had not grown up with Zhou Xuanmin and had a deep affection for him, she would not have wanted her daughter to marry into such a family.
"Yier, if you really like Xuanmin, your parents will take care of everything for you. You just need to wait for your marriage. This family is not decided by your second aunt. Your uncle, grandmother, and great-grandmother are not ungrateful people."
Shen Shuyi shook her head gently, “Mom, I see through it and don’t want to marry my second cousin.”
Zhou Shu couldn't believe it, "Do you really think so?"
