Chapter 218: Getting Married (3)
Everyone followed Shen Yue's gaze and saw a young man walking out from the door. He was wearing a stone-blue robe. The man was quite handsome. Looking closely, he looked about 60% similar to Shen Gui, but there was a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows.
This person was none other than Shen Yuan, the eldest son of Shen Gui from the second branch of the Shen family.
Of the second wife, Shen Yuan had always been bright and clever. Unlike Shen Qiu, whose military achievements were achieved through hard work and dedication, Shen Yuan was a far more gifted individual. He had achieved a respectable ranking in the imperial examinations as a young man, and later, with the appreciation of a noble, he embarked on a career in government. However, he had to serve as a minor official in the outer court for three years beforehand, and this was his last year. He had originally intended to remain in Dingjing after returning from the Lunar New Year. Who knew Shen Qing would be caught up in this incident? He must have hurried back, just in time to see his sister's wedding.
Even Shen Yue couldn't help but hide behind Shen Wan. Shen Wan patted Shen Yue's back and his eyes fell on Shen Yuan.
Everyone in the Shen Mansion was somewhat wary of Shen Yuan. Perhaps it was because Shen Yuan had already achieved fame at such a young age, or perhaps it was because he seemed to be very mature and scheming. In short, Shen Yue and Shen Miao in the past were very afraid of him.
The happiest person was none other than Old Lady Shen. She waved to Shen Yuan in surprise, "Yuan'er!" Shen Yuanbo, who was in Old Lady Shen's arms, also called out crisply, "Second Brother!"
Shen Yuan then smiled and stepped forward to salute Old Madam Shen, calling her "Grandma". He then touched Shen Yuanbai's head and said, "Yuanbai has grown taller again."
"I'm afraid Brother Yuan is in a hurry to get back." Chen Ruoqiu said with a smile: "Are you tired on the way? Do you want to take a rest first?" Now that Ren Wanyun is not here, she is the head of the Shen family, and naturally she acts like a mistress.
Chen Yuan turned his head and glanced at Chen Ruoqiu. For some reason, Chen Ruoqiu's heart sank, and a sense of apprehension rose in his heart. After not seeing each other for a year, Chen Yuan had become increasingly difficult to fathom. Chen Ruoqiu had always been clever, and when the children were younger, he had tried to trip him up, both overtly and covertly. But Chen Yuan was surprisingly clever, and as time went on, it was Chen Ruoqiu who sometimes suffered. Chen Ruoqiu assumed that Ren Wanyun was fortunate to have given birth to a clever son, so even though she later expressed dissatisfaction with the second wife, she didn't dare to completely anger her.
"No need," Chen Yuan said, "I came back this time just to see my sister get married. If I rest any longer, I'm afraid it will be too late."
When Shen Qing was mentioned, the atmosphere in the room became a little awkward, and Old Madam Shen did not say anything. Shen Yuan was also unmoved, and his eyes cast towards Shen Qiu without any hesitation. The person standing there was Shen Miao.
"It's been a while since we last met. Fifth sister has changed quite a bit." He narrowed his eyes. "Girls really do change a lot when they grow up. Fifth sister has become... I almost don't recognize her anymore."
Shen Miao looked at him calmly. Shen Yuan's eyes were filled with sinister inquiry, like a venomous snake crawling in a swamp, slowly winding around her, with a chilling damp air. She smiled slightly: "Second brother is unchanging."
Chen Ruoqiu paused, Shen Yue seemed to be gloating, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan frowned at the same time, but Shen Qiu smiled and said, "Yes, second brother, there is no change." He turned the topic to himself. This made Shen Yuan look at Shen Qiu more, and then said meaningfully, "I didn't expect that the relationship between the fifth sister and the eldest brother is so good now."
"Sisblings naturally have a good relationship." Shen Miao smiled gently: "Second brother, why don't you go see big sister now? I think you can still make up in time."
