The woman was sitting in the hall, her head slightly lowered, exposing her snow-white neck. She was wearing plain clothes, and the material was not of high quality.
Hearing footsteps outside, the woman slowly raised her head and looked into the distance.
When he met Shen Ji's eyes, he could clearly see the man in the courtyard taking a big step back.
The woman paused, clutched her sleeves with an uneasy expression, and looked at him angrily.
Shen Ji frowned, not looking happy at all. He looked around, and after confirming that this was his own mansion, he asked in a deep voice, "This... are you in the wrong place?"
"Why did you go to the wrong place?" Shen's mother walked in from the inner door with a smile, carrying snacks, and said in a scolding tone, "This is your aunt's cousin, her name is Gu Sisi. You used to play together when you were young, but you forgot?"
Shen Ji thought about it carefully and realized that this person was indeed in his memory.
Gu Sisi smiled shyly, her face flushed, "I haven't seen you for many years, and my cousin has become more and more handsome."
Alarm bells rang in Shen Ji's heart, and his eyes lingered on the two of them.
"What's the use of being handsome?" Mother Shen sighed, sat next to Gu Sisi, took her hand, and said in a resentful tone, "You are over 28 and you are not married yet. If you tell me, your uncle's old face will be exposed." It’s all lost.”
Gu Sisi glanced at the man not far away, pursed her pink lips, and whispered, "No one else can rush you into matters of love."
"I have figured it out. I am afraid I will never be able to repay my grandson for the rest of my life just by relying on Aji." Shen's mother snorted, then stared at her lovingly, "Auntie, I still have to rely on you."
After finishing speaking, Mother Shen turned her head, secretly glared at her son, and said loudly, "Aji, aren't you Xiu Mu today? You just happened to be taking Sisi around the capital."
Shen Ji frowned, looking unhappy, "Mom, I have something important to do today..."
"What's important?" Shen's mother slapped her thigh, angrily saying, "You have to put everything aside for me, and think about it first!"
"It's just a trip around Beijing, who can't go?" Shen Ji lowered his eyes and made up his mind to go against Shen's mother, "If it doesn't work out, my son can just leave Wen Mo at home."
Wen Mo stood aside and shuddered hard after hearing this.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mother Shen looked embarrassed and scolded in a low voice, "No matter how anxious you are about the things at hand, can you be anxious about the important things in your life?"
Shen Ji sighed softly, looking helpless.
Just when Shen's mother thought he was about to nod in agreement, Shen Ji quietly said, "Mother, I just want to have a grandson. This matter is easy to handle. Mother, just wait for me for a long time."
After saying this, Shen Ji ignored Shen's mother's surprise, turned around neatly, and walked away.
"gentlemen!"
Wen Mo exclaimed and hurriedly followed her, his expression as ugly as if he had eaten a dead fly, "Sir, think twice, the old lady is already old and there is no way she can hold the crown prince Yongcheng waiting for her!"
"The matter has come to this, I have no other choice." Shen Ji's eyes were cold, and his good mood disappeared, "I will never walk with another woman. If the Yongcheng Marquis sees it and tells his wife, the consequences... "
Shen Ji gritted his teeth, "I don't even dare to think about it!"
"Sir, calm down. If you really tie up the Crown Prince Yongcheng, don't say whether you will scare the old lady to death. The Crown Prince will probably hate you. In the days to come, Sir, I'm afraid you will sleep with your eyes open!" Wen Mo tried his best to stop him and said in an urgent tone, "There must be other ways to solve this matter!"
Shen Ji paused and looked back at Wen Mo, his eyes gradually becoming darker.
Wen Mo subconsciously took two steps back and whispered, "Sir...why are you looking at me like this?"
"Either you lead that cousin to the streets, or..." Shen Ji half-squinted his eyes, without any smile on his face, "You go and be my mother's grandson."
"Sir!" Wen Mo looked at him with an aggrieved look on the verge of tears, "I have been with you for more than ten years, and you must not treat me like this!"
"I treat you as my master, but you treat me as your son!"
Shen Ji looked at his chirping look, lowered the corner of his mouth impatiently, and whispered, "You can send someone to accompany her when you go back. After she leaves, I will increase your monthly salary."
Wen Mo's howling of ghosts and wolves suddenly stopped, and he murmured, "More...More money increase?"
The former looked at him faintly, and when Wen Mo shook his body, he rushed back to Shen's house.
Watching the time passing by, Shen Ji waited for a long time but didn't see him coming out. His patience was exhausted. When he was about to go in to look for someone, he saw the head sticking out of the door.
Shen Ji frowned and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing hiding behind the door? Come out quickly."
Wen Mo twitched the corners of his lips, laughed dryly, and walked out with his head hanging, followed by Gu Sisi.
Seeing that it was her, Shen Ji frowned even more tightly, quite displeased.
Wen Mo lowered his head, shaking like chaff, for fear that his husband would punish him for this.
"Cousin." Gu Sisi raised the corner of her mouth and looked at him quietly, "Where are you going?"
Chen Ji raised his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Do I also want to inform you about this?"
"Shen Ji?"
A familiar voice came from behind, and Shen Ji froze suddenly, not daring to look back for a moment.
Wen Mo also turned pale and subconsciously looked at the entrance of the alley. His eyes touched Fang Xu's face, and there were only two big words left in his heart: It's over...
Fang Xu walked slowly to the carriage, looked sideways at Shen Ji's frozen face, and laughed softly, "I thought it looked familiar from a distance, but it's really you."
Shen Ji raised the corners of his mouth and gave the ugliest smile in his life, "Madam... what a coincidence..."
"Why are you standing outside so early in the morning?" Fang Xu glanced sideways, his eyes fell on Gu Sisi beside him, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, "This is..."
For a moment, Shen Ji wanted to have mouths all over his body, and hurriedly explained, "This is my aunt's cousin. She just came here today... ah no, she will leave soon!"
Fang Xu found it funny and asked in a low voice, "Your cousin can't get used to the capital? How come you have to leave right after you arrive?"
Gu Sisi bit her lower lip, her eyes wandered over the two of them, and said loudly, "Cousin...my aunt wants me to live in Beijing permanently, saying that I will be your wife..."
"I didn't, I'm not, you're talking nonsense!" Shen Ji was in a rare panic. He grabbed Fang Xu's sleeve and pulled her back several steps, "You are a woman after all, so please respect yourself."
Gu Sisi's eyes were red, she was wringing her fingertips, looking at Shen Ji as if she were looking at a heartless man.
Shen Ji felt ridiculous and buried his head, his eyes only fixed on Fang Xu's face. His eyes were a little red, and he felt extremely aggrieved. "She is making nonsense. I am not familiar with her at all. We only played together a few times when we were young." , she also snatched away my favorite cloth tiger at the time!"
Shen Ji was busy expressing his loyalty and made Fang Xu laugh. Looking at the corners of his reddish eyes, Fang Xu subconsciously coaxed for some reason, "Don't be angry, she is your cousin, and she must stay in public." Give her some face."
Shen Ji slowly let go of the hand holding her sleeve and lowered his head slightly, like a child who had done something wrong, "I'm just afraid that Madam will misunderstand me."
