The third day after the wedding is the day for the bride to return to her parents' home, and it is customary to take the bride back to her parents' home once.
But now that Ning Yuyao has left, is he supposed to bring the bed sheets with him when he goes back to his parents' home?
Shen Yunhao had a headache.
"She left without a word. What does that mean? Should I draft a letter of divorce first, and then slap it on her face when she comes to annul the engagement?"
As Shen Yunhao left Butler Li's place, he muttered to himself.
But the thought that this move might lead to spending the rest of his life in a hospital bed quickly dispelled the dangerous idea.
They were never on equal footing to begin with, and you even angered them so much. It seems there's nothing you can do but wait to be kicked out one day.
"Oh my! Isn't this my proud and unyielding third brother? He's been playing dead in the house for four days, what brings him out for a stroll today?"
As they were walking, a mocking voice suddenly came from ahead. The voice was quite loud and immediately attracted the attention of many servants in the mansion.
Shen Yunhao looked up and saw a young man dressed in brown brocade robes walking towards him, waving a paper fan.
The boy looked a few years older than Shen Yunhao, probably in his early twenties. Although he was dressed smartly, he couldn't hide his roguish air.
A very typical image of a spoiled brat.
Upon seeing this person, a flood of memories immediately rushed through Shen Yunhao's mind.
Shen Boxuan, the second young master of the Shen family, the youngest son of Shen Muchi, and Shen Yunhao's... cousin.
Shen Muchi has two sons.
The eldest son's name is Shen Yufeng. He is twenty-three years old this year. He has the best physique and has already mastered martial arts at a young age. He is now a formal bodyguard in Yunxiao Escort Agency and Shen Muchi's most satisfied son.
For established families in the martial arts world, the greatest fear is having no successor.
After Shen Yunxiao disappeared, the status of Yunxiao Escort Agency was not as good as before, and Shen Yufeng can be regarded as the successor of the new generation of escort agency.
As for the second son, Shen Boxuan, he is three years younger than the first son and his talent is not bad either. He has been practicing martial arts with his brother since childhood.
However, he was lazy and his martial arts skills lagged far behind those of Shen Yufeng.
After coming of age, Shen Muchi arranged for him to work in a security escort agency, where he held a sinecure and occasionally accompanied his elder brother on a few escort missions.
Most of the time, however, he preferred to pretend to be a scholar and frequent brothels with a group of friends. He had a notorious reputation, so his status at home was naturally much lower than that of Shen Yufeng.
Of course, even if it's bad, it's still much better than my own useless young master.
They receive a monthly salary from the security escort agency, so they have the means to indulge in a life of pleasure outside.
As for himself... with the meager monthly allowance given by the manor, it was barely enough for him to go to a brothel to listen to a little song.
Shen Yunhao had absolutely no good feelings towards Shen Muchi and his son.
Shen Yufeng was five years older than him and rarely stayed in the manor, so there weren't many conflicts between them. But Shen Boxuan was a different story.
When Shen Yunhao was ten years old, he fell from grace, and everyone wanted to kick him while he was down.
Shen Boxuan, the elder brother, was among those who attacked the group the most fiercely.
Shen Yunhao even felt that over the years, half of the negative comments about him had come from his cousin's mouth...
A while ago, when he heard that Ning Yuyao was coming to fulfill the marriage agreement, this guy immediately became obedient and never dared to act up in front of Shen Yunhao again.
It has only reappeared today.
Looking at Shen Boxuan, who had the air of a "young master," Shen Yunhao could guess that this guy was probably going to some elegant place to compose poems and come here to collect money from Steward Li.
Shen Yunhao ignored him and pretended not to see him, and was about to walk past him.
"stop!"
Unexpectedly, seeing that Shen Yunhao ignored him, Shen Boxuan was displeased and immediately put away his fan and gave a cold shout.
"What is it, Second Brother?" Shen Yunhao turned around helplessly.
Shen Boxuan may look like a scholar, but he has practiced martial arts since childhood and is a true martial arts expert.
As for Shen Yunhao himself, although he possessed considerable strength, he had given up martial arts after being diagnosed with a defective physique, so he was naturally no match for others.
He was quite afraid that this guy might suddenly rush over and beat him up in a fit of anger, but he was no longer the hothead he was in his previous life.
"Shen Yunhao! Do you know your crime?"
"..."
Shen Yunhao blinked and nodded, saying, "Yes, I know my crime. Is there anything else, Second Brother?"
"Huh?" Shen Boxuan was stunned. He hadn't expected Shen Yunhao to answer like that, and he didn't know what to say.
But he was naturally unwilling to let Shen Yunhao leave easily, and coldly laughed: "You went your own way and offended Fairy Ning and the Ning family, bringing countless troubles to my Shen family. Now you still have the face to stand here?"
"Then where does Second Brother think I should go?" Shen Yunhao asked, his expression unchanged.
"Since you have offended someone, you should naturally go and apologize yourself. I advise you to go to the Ning residence now and beg for forgiveness. If you cannot gain Master Ning's forgiveness, you will be a sinner of the Shen family!"
Judging from this, if things went any further, he might even say something like expelling Shen Yunhao from the Shen family.
However, although Ning Yuyao has left, her attitude remains unclear, and she has not yet requested a divorce.
If Shen Yunhao is expelled from the Shen family at this point, and there's even a one in ten thousand chance that Ning Yuyao will return, then it would be like shooting oneself in the foot.
"Hmm, what Second Brother said makes sense. Are you finished? I'll take my leave now..."
"Wait? Where are you going?"
"Go and apologize with a bundle of thorns on your back!"
"..."
Only after Shen Yunhao disappeared from sight did Shen Boxuan frown and ask in confusion, "Strange, why does this good-for-nothing seem different from before?"
...
Meanwhile, Shen Yunhao had already left the Shen residence.
When he saw Shen Boxuan just now, he suddenly wondered if it was Shen Boxuan who was secretly plotting against him.
After all, he has been subjected to PUA for so many years. If there is anyone who least wants to see him turn his life around, it would undoubtedly be Shen Boxuan.
But after thinking about it again, I immediately rejected it.
Firstly, the Shen family will gain too many benefits from marrying Ning Yuyao, and Shen Boxuan's status among the纨绔 (playboy) circle in Linyuan City will also rise considerably.
Even if they had some minor grudges in the past, they are still family after all. At most, I will take revenge, but I won't kill them.
But the benefits are real and far outweigh these retaliations.
Secondly, he was just a mortal. Even if he had that intention, he absolutely did not have the ability to make a move in front of a cultivator.
Even if they succeeded, they would immediately lose their lives and even implicate the entire Shen family, making it a losing proposition.
Soon, Shen Yunhao completely forgot about his cousin.
After swaying in the carriage for about half an incense stick's time, Shen Yunhao appeared in front of a magnificent mansion with carved beams and painted rafters.
The large plaque above the gate is engraved with the two characters "Ning Mansion".
Shen Yunhao still came to the Ning residence alone, but not to apologize.
While there was also an intention to ease tensions, the main purpose was to test the attitudes of Ning's parents and prepare for potential troubles later on.
Having returned from his previous life, he naturally wouldn't be as decadent and idle at home as he was in his previous life, just waiting to die.
