Chapter 54 Chapter 54 "Sister, I am your brother. ...
The cold wind blew the hem of his clothes. Chen Zhao asked, "I wonder how old this girl is?"
Liang Meng and Shu Yun had been engaged before, so he knew her birthday and replied, "She turned eighteen last September."
His younger sister was born prematurely in September and also turned eighteen last year. Both her age and birth month were the same as his younger sister's. Shen Zhao firmly believed that the girl Liang Meng mentioned who looked like his mother was the daughter the Shen family had been looking for for eighteen years.
My sister is still alive!
But how did my sister become a girl from the Anlu Marquis Mansion?
His younger sister grew up in the capital, so it was not difficult to know what she looked like. Shen Zhao ordered people to make more inquiries, spent a lot of money to hire a painter to paint his younger sister's portrait, and sent his men to search for her everywhere.
Afraid of being overjoyed, he signaled Chen Zhao not to tell anyone and wait until he found his sister before telling his parents the good news.
When the news reached Xiao Ye's ears, he slowly turned the cup in his hand.
"Brother, my tabby cat is back!" Shuyun's voice suddenly came from outside, her joy unconcealed, and her brisk footsteps were filled with joy.
Xiao Ye said to Fu Feng, "Go out."
As soon as she finished speaking, a faint smile slowly emerged on her stern face. Xiao Ye looked over and heard her voice. She was getting closer. He asked in a low voice, "Where did you see the cat, sister?"
"In the yard." Shuyun held Tuantuan and sat down next to Xiao Ye. Tuantuan was very attached to Shuyun now. When she held him, he would lie on her lap obediently, a furry ball.
The tabby cat followed Shuyun into the house. It had brown and black stripes and strode with its head held high, looking very majestic. It stopped at the table and looked at the calico cat on Shuyun's lap.
"I woke up from my nap and heard a cat meowing. I went to the yard and saw that my tabby cat had returned." Shuyun smiled faintly. Her tabby cat would come back once every six months, stay for a few days and then run away again. Shuyun had no way to deal with it and could not catch it, so she could only let it go.
Xiao Ye reached out his hand and felt around for a while before feeling soft fur on his palm. The kitten on his lap meowed. Shu Yun smiled and said, "Brother, this is Tuan Tuan."
Shuyun lowered her eyes and looked at the tabby cat beside the table. She hadn't seen it for a long time, and it still remembered her as its owner.
Shu Yun's eyes dimmed a little. Even the kitten knew to go home. She had been staying in the Marquis' Mansion for so long since she returned to the capital and had never seen her relatives.
She looked at the man in front of her. He was blindfolded, and after being treated by the imperial physician, his symptoms had improved significantly. His eyes were injured because of her, and no matter what, Shuyun would wait for his eyes to heal.
Xiao Ye's promise was not just talk. Since he said he wanted to welcome her into the family, he would follow the necessary etiquette. Shuyun believed that he would let her return to the Shen family.
In late February, the temperature warms up and flowers bloom.
Yan Fu Ju has two cats. Shu Yun's tabby cat seems to stay put and often rolls around and plays with Tuantuan under the tree.
Shuyun picked some flowers and brought them back to the house, putting some flowers in the house, making it full of vitality.
Xiao Ye asked, "What flowers did you pick today?"
Shu Yun raised the flowers in her arms and said with a faint smile, "Forsythia."
She was trimming the branches with scissors, while Xiao Ye sat quietly beside her.
Shuyun looked at the goose yellow forsythia in the vase, raised her lips and smiled, very satisfied with today's flowers.
It’s a pity that Xiao Ye couldn’t see it, otherwise he would definitely praise her flowers.
As she looked at it, Shuyun felt that some small details needed to be fixed. She adjusted the forsythia in the vase, bent down to get the scissors, but found that they were missing.
Xiao Ye asked, "What are you looking for, sister?"
"Scissors."
I clearly used it just now, how come it disappeared?
Xiao Ye felt around on the table covered with green leaves and branches, and sure enough, he found a pair of scissors among the pile of cut green leaves. He held the tips of the scissors and handed the handle to Shu Yun.
Shuyun took the scissors, smiled and cut a bunch of branches shorter, admired them for a while and then put them by the window.
The gentle and warm spring light shone on the bunches of forsythia. Xiao Ye looked over and saw that his eyes were tied with ribbons. He had opened his eyes and his hazy gaze fell on Shu Yun's back.
"Sister Yun, do you want to go back to the Shen family?"
Xiao Ye asked her for the first time. Shu Yun suspected that she had heard wrongly and slowly turned around. A thin ribbon covered his eyes. The man closed his eyes and the sunlight poured on his shoulders.
"Do you want to, sister?" Xiao Ye said in a calm voice and asked her again.
"I think."
Shu Yun walked over, her petite figure getting closer and closer to him. The man was sitting upright on a stool. She leaned over and sat on his lap. Xiao Ye's hanging hand naturally wrapped around her waist.
Shu Yun looked at that calm face and asked, "Brother, are you going to let me go back?"
The spring breeze blew the silk ribbon covering her eyes. After a while, Xiao Ye stroked her head and said calmly, "Yes."
After getting the answer she had been worried about, Shu Yun felt lighthearted. She raised her right hand, wrapped it around the man's neck, and leaned against his arm. "Then after I return to the Shen family, will my brother come to propose marriage?"
Xiao Ye lowered his head slightly, and gently stroked her eyebrows with his slender fingers, his fingertips slowly moving from the beginning of her eyebrows to the end.
"Yun'er, do you want your brother to come?" Xiao Ye asked.
Does she hope so?
True feelings or false ones.
She lied to him more than once.
Shu Yun was silent for a moment, then held the man's hand that was stroking his hair, and said, "I hope so."
Xiao Ye smiled faintly and shook her hand back.
At night, Xiao Ye wanted her even more desperately.
Shuyun was held in his arms and sat at the table, her slender hands stroking the blindfold. He opened his eyes, and in the dim candlelight, she seemed to see the strong desire in his inky eyes.
The man's slender fingers were intertwined, and Shu Yun moaned softly, leaning on his shoulder, breathing heavily, "Brother, can you take a look?"
Shuyun asked him, their two bodies covered in sweat and sticky, hugging each other, she felt that he was particularly different tonight.
Xiao Ye carried her from the bed to the desk.
"What are you talking about, sister?" Xiao Ye kissed her moving red lips and tasted the fragrance between her teeth.
Shuyun was almost drowning in his kiss.
His slender fingers curled in the same position countless times. Shuyun hugged him tightly, and her slender ankles pressed against his narrow waist, pushing the man towards her.
It was dark in the night and the moonlight was clear.
Suddenly, a cat meowed in the yard. It was Tuantuan. The meow was loud and shrill, with a long tail, and the sounds were frequent and dense.
Tuan Tuan called for a while, and Li Hua responded, as if coming to the yard from a distance to look for it.
The shrill cat cry slowly stopped.
Shuyun didn’t know what the cat’s meow on a spring night meant before, but now she and Xiao Ye are doing it.
The moonlight was clear. Xiao Ye kissed her sweaty forehead and took away her slender white hand. He played with the woman's soft hand in his broad palm, and no matter how much he caressed it, it was not enough.
The candlelight was dim, illuminating the figures of the two people. A pair of white jade arms were faintly pink. Shu Yun put her arms around his neck, and Xiao Ye kissed her wet eyelashes.
Shu Yun frowned and snorted softly, with a hint of anger.
The cat in the yard meowed again. Xiao Ye bit her lips lightly, as a punishment for her distraction, "Where are you listening, sister? Pay attention."
Ignoring the two cats in the yard, the two of them embraced and kissed passionately.
Just like that, the kettle on the table suddenly fell over, and the warm water turned cold and a little chilly.
Her hair was matted to her cheeks, her almond-shaped eyes were sparkling, and her nose was stained with shiny beads of sweat. She looked at him tenderly, her soft fingers clasping the man's strong arms.
Shu Yun rested her head softly on the man's shoulder, tears welling in her eyes, and she complained, "Brother, it's overflowing."
The spilled water droplets fell from the edge of the table, wetting the area.
Xiao Ye's hand that was stroking her back moved to her slightly bulging belly, and he rubbed his cheek against her soft, fragrant cheek, "Sister, you are still so delicate."
Day after day, there is no progress.
It was past three o'clock in the morning, and Shu Yun fell asleep in his arms. The blush on her cheeks had not yet faded, and her drooping brows looked very pitiful. Xiao Ye smoothed her brows, and she hummed softly, subconsciously snuggling into his warm arms.
It's time for her to go back, there's still a lot of time left.
=========
That day, Shuyun took a nap in the house.
Xiao Ye returned to Yanfu Residence, and the subordinates he had sent to Nanzhou reported to him, "My Lord, the Shen family has found Siqin in Nanzhou and has brought her back to the capital."
Xiao Ye nodded, signaling him to leave.
Shen Zhao, you are so fast.
Xiao Ye placed the unfinished wooden eagle in the palm of his hand and rubbed it slowly with his fingertips.
After a while, he ordered Fufeng to bring a carving knife.
Xiao Ye had regained his sight, but Shu Yun didn't know it yet. He took a carving knife and carved on the wooden eagle. He was not a carpenter, so he naturally didn't understand the technique. He just added a few marks on it, and it was still far from complete.
Xiao Ye put away the carving knife and placed the unfinished wooden eagle in a conspicuous place.
…
Shen Mansion.
Siqin didn't find Shuyun in Nanzhou, but met the Shen family who were also looking for someone. On the way back to Beijing, she heard that Xiao Ye had been to Nanzhou, and she felt like the sky was falling.
The girl might be caught again.
The temperature gradually warmed up in March. The middle-aged woman at the top was still wearing thick clothes. Her eyes and brows looked very much like Shuyun. She was Chen Yanzhi's wife, Zhou.
When Siqin saw her old master, she fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face. "Madam, I have finally found you!"
Mrs. Zhou's eyes filled with tears, and she wiped them with a handkerchief. "Where have you been all these years? Where is my daughter? Where is she?"
Siqin choked up, looked at her master and son-in-law, and told them everything.
"I originally wanted to wait until my son-in-law was rehabilitated, then bring the girl who was replaced back to the capital to pick up our Shen family's girl, but I have lost my memory and don't remember anything."
Chen Yanzhi's weather-beaten face was gloomy. Back then, he trusted the wrong person and caused his wife and children to suffer with him.
Back then, Xiao Song was his most trusted person. When Chen Yanzhi discovered problems with Tongtian Tower, he immediately sought Xiao Song's advice. Xiao Song's analysis was thorough, advising him to avoid alerting the enemy and instead gather evidence in secret. However, Xiao Song set him up, bribing the Chief of Construction and wooing the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Works to pin the accusation of corruption on him.
He was imprisoned and Xiao Song wanted to take his wife.
brute!
Because the guard who escorted Siqin out was killed outside the prison, and Siqin lost her memory, Shuyun's life experience has always been a mystery.
Chen Yanzhi searched for his daughter for eighteen years, but he didn't expect that she had been raised by her enemy.
"Master, I have seen the young lady. She must be trapped in the Marquis' Mansion by Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye..." Si Qin choked up, "The young lady has suffered too much these years and has been tortured."
The anger in Shen Zhao's eyes almost burst out, and he secretly clenched his fists, "Dad and Mom, your son will go and bring your sister back now."
If I had known this, I would have stopped making friends with him!
…
Marquis' Mansion.
Shuyun was playing with two cats in the house when Fufeng suddenly entered and whispered in Xiao Ye's ear, "My Lord, the young master of the Shen family is here to see you."
Xiao Ye said: "Bring him in."
After Fu Feng left, Xiao Ye put his finger on the ribbon in his eyes and said, "Sister, brother wants to meet a guest. Please go to the inner room."
Shuyun was a little puzzled because he rarely saw guests recently.
He was meeting with a guest to discuss something, and it was inappropriate for Shuyun to stay in the house, so he picked up the cat and prepared to leave, "I'd better go out."
Xiao Ye said, "It's okay, sister, go sit in the inner room."
Shuyun paused, then carried Tuantuan into the inner room.
A graceful figure disappeared in the house. Xiao Ye lowered his gaze and looked outside through the hazy vision of the gauze.
An angry figure appeared in the yard and walked straight into the house.
As soon as Shen Zhao came in and saw the man sitting there, he was furious.
He's a well-dressed bastard!
Shen Zhao strode over, grabbed Xiao Ye by the collar, and pulled him up from the stool, "Xiao Ye, you bastard, what did you do to my sister!"
Shen Zhao was furious and swung a punch at Xiao Ye. He thought that since he was born a military general, he would instinctively dodge even if he was blind, but he didn't expect that the punch would hit him hard in the face.
Xiao Ye lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
The wooden eagle on the table fell and rolled to Shen Zhao's side. He was slightly startled and frowned.
Even if I keep his things, it's useless because he no longer recognizes me as his friend.
After beating him, Shen Zhao simply squatted down and grabbed Xiao Ye by the collar, "Hand over my sister!"
Xiao Ye covered his chest and coughed violently, as if he was seriously injured.
Shu Yun rushed out from the inner room and pushed Chen Zhao away, "Stop fighting."
Xiao Ye's clothes were disheveled, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and his face was bruised. Shu Yun's eyes were red. She supported his shoulders and cared about his injuries. "Brother, how are you?"
Xiao Ye covered his chest and coughed, stretched out his hand and groped around, and finally held Shu Yun's hand.
"I'm not in pain, Sister Yun."
Seeing the face that was so similar to his mother's, Shen Zhao determined that she was his lost sister. He took her hand and asked her to look back at him, "Sister, I am your brother."
Chen Zhao: "Father and mother miss you very much, sister."
Shuyun's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Brother."
She knew that she had an older brother in the family, and the man in her arms was her fake brother.
Shu Yun's eyes filled with tears as she begged, "Brother, please don't hit him. Brother Ye can't see anymore."
"Brother Ye?" Chen Zhao frowned and murmured, obviously very dissatisfied with this title.
Chen Zhao was so disappointed that his eyes swept towards the man in his sister's arms, "Sister, he is the son of our enemy!"
Shu Yun didn't dare to meet her brother's sharp eyes, and her gaze dodged, "But...but he also helped the Shen family."
