"Okay, very good, your Nangong family is really shameless!"
Returning to Piaohua Palace, Nangong Ling was greeted by the angry Shangguan Mingyue.
"Please tell Nangong Lin, if he dares to appear in front of my aunt again, don't blame me for not recognizing people with the sword in my hand!" Shangguan Mingyue's eyes turned red, his chest rose and fell sharply, and the long sword in his hand shone brightly under the sunlight. , pointing at Nangong Ling from a distance.
When Nangong Lin went up the mountain, she was managing business at the Shengyu Commercial Bank branch in Fufeng City. Later, she heard that the man who had made her aunt heartbroken had the nerve to come back and ask for reconciliation. She was really furious, and she didn't know how many innocent people there were in the mountain. The grass and trees became the dead souls under the sword for her to vent her anger.
"Nangong is here?" Nangong Ling couldn't help but be startled when he heard that the romantic second uncle actually came to Piaohua Palace.
"More than just coming." Shangguan Mingyue sneered, "He did such things back then, and now he actually wants to restore the relationship with his aunt. His shame is really amazing."
When she thought of Shangguan Junyi's pale face and heartbroken expression, she felt heartbroken and wished she could personally kill that despicable scumbag who broke her aunt's heart.
"Sister Shangguan, I'm sorry for what Nangong Lin did." Nangong Ling was not angry after being scolded by Shangguan Mingyue, but apologized softly.
"I can't afford to be called 'sister' to you." Shangguan Mingyue's anger has not calmed down at all, "In the end, it was that man who did it. I can't blame you. I just ask you to persuade him not to provoke him again. My aunt, our Shangguan family is a small family and we can’t afford to be so high!"
After that, without waiting for Nangong Ling's answer, he turned around and left the compound angrily.
"Sister Nangong, don't blame her for being rude. Miss Shangguan and Sister Shangguan are called nephews, but they love each other as sisters." Seeing Nangong Ling's frown, Zhong Wen couldn't help but tried to persuade her, "Back then, the Nangong family was against each other. The damage caused by Sister Shangguan is too great, no wonder Miss Shangguan can't control her emotions."
"How can I blame her? It is indeed the Nangong family that has failed Elder Shangguan." Nangong Ling smiled bitterly, "If I were in her position, maybe the sword in my hand would have pierced her."
"Sister, don't blame yourself. What happened back then has nothing to do with you." Zhong Wen comforted her softly, "I'll go see Sister Shangguan."
As soon as Zhong Wen left, a cyan figure appeared in front of Nangong Ling, his cold eyes shining on her, hinting at anger.
"I'm back now, aren't I?" Nangong Ling said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, I won't run away. This time I'm just going out to practice with my junior sisters."
"Remember, this will never happen again." The woman in green's voice was filled with chillness, "Don't think that if you have a master in the Heavenly Wheel Realm, I can't do anything to you."
"Don't worry, I said I won't run away, so I won't run away." Nangong Ling's beautiful eyes looked at the woman in green without fear, "After following me for so long, don't you understand my temper?"
"That's best."
The figure of the woman in green slowly disappeared into the yard.
Nangong Ling sighed softly, with a rare hint of worry in his smart eyes.
…
"Hold the piano and play chess." Zhong Wen came to Shangguan Junyi's room and saw two little girls sitting on the stone bench outside the front porch, their faces full of deep sorrow.
"Brother Zhong Wen!" The two girls' eyes lit up when they saw Zhong Wen, "You're back."
"What are you doing sitting in front of Sister Shangguan's door?" Zhong Wen asked with a smile.
"Brother Zhong Wen, Elder Shangguan was making pottery with us this afternoon. We were having a lot of fun talking and laughing." Si Qi was more lively and outgoing than Bao Qin. When he saw Zhong Wen, he couldn't help but talk, "Later I heard Sister Ning'er said that an old friend came to visit, so she went out to meet him, and after she came back, she stayed up there and never came down again."
The little girl stretched out her hand and pointed upward. Zhong Wen looked up and saw a slender figure sitting on the spire of a row of houses, with her jade arms supporting her cheeks. Her back looked extremely lonely under the sunlight.
"Brother Zhong Wen." Baoqin said weakly, "I think I saw Elder Shangguan crying."
"It's okay. Let's all go back." Zhong Wen gently touched the heads of the two girls, "I'll go up and see her."
After saying that, he didn't see how hard he used it. He just stood on tiptoe with his feet and appeared beside Shangguan Junyi.
Shangguan Junyi had always been gentle and considerate towards him. Seeing this close sister who was always smiling and chatting with her on weekdays, with her eyebrows lowered and tears in her eyes, Zhong Wen felt a pain in his heart. Nangong Lin, whom he had never met before, felt hatred just like Shangguan Mingyue.
He quietly came to Shangguan Junyi and sat down slowly without saying a word, just staying in a daze with her.
Having long sensed Zhong Wen's move, Shangguan Junyi did not look back, still staring blankly at the trees and flowers outside the wall below.
"Am I stupid?" After a long time, she suddenly said, "I know he is lying to me, but I still feel shaken when I see him."
"How could it be? Sister Shangguan has gone through many hardships and is well-versed in the world. She is a rare smart person." Zhong Wen shook his head slightly and said, "Is it just first love? It will always leave some indelible traces in people's hearts."
"You know a lot at such a young age. It turns out you are also a master in this field." Shangguan Junyi seemed to want to make a joke, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"Sister, do you still love him?" Zhong Wen saw that it was difficult for her to adjust her emotions, so he asked directly.
"I don't know." Shangguan Junyi's eyes were blurred, and he didn't seem to have sorted out his thoughts. "Ordinarily, based on his character, I would only despise him, and I would never have the slightest affection for him. It's just this heartache... "
"Sister, no matter what, I can't watch you jump into the pit of fire again." Zhong Wen suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Shangguan Junyi's catkins and said with a smile, "If you want to get married, you have to find someone better than me." I am a handsome man, gentler than me, and more capable than me, otherwise I would not be willing to let you go like this."
"Who am I? Why should I compare myself to you?" Shangguan Junyi did not expect that he would make such a bold move. She blushed and felt a little panicked. She quickly took her jade hand out of his palm and glared. He glanced at me and said, "Besides, if I really want to leave, can you stop me?"
"Then I will sneak away and kill Nangong Lin." Zhong Wen said with a evil smile.
"You..." Shangguan Junyi gently tapped his forehead with her jade finger, a hint of helplessness in her tone.
"Sister, do you know how beautiful and charming you are?" Zhong Wen continued to tease her, "I can guarantee that as long as you stop on the street and spread the word about choosing a son-in-law, the team that comes to sign up will start from Fufeng City. Line up all the way to the Imperial Capital."
"The more you talk about it, the more nonsense it becomes." Shangguan Junyi finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the worry on his face slightly diminished.
"Sister, a fairy-like figure like you should find someone who knows how to care for you, respect you, and love you to be with you for the rest of your life." Zhong Wen suddenly straightened his face, "A scumbag like Nangong Lin is worse than me. How can I be worthy of you? If you want to marry him, you might as well marry me."
"You are very confident." Shangguan Junyi covered her mouth and smiled, with a hint of coquettishness in her eyes.
Zhong Wen stood up, shook his hair coquettishly, and acted like a handsome young man. He blinked and asked, "Sister, to be fair, who is more handsome, me or Nangong Lin?"
"Little brother, do you want to listen to the truth?" Shangguan Junyi's eyes showed a cunning light.
"No!" Zhong Wen replied immediately.
Shangguan Junyi was so amused by him that he almost burst out laughing: "In that case, he is slightly more handsome than you."
"Sister Shangguan, as expected, this expression suits you best." Zhong Wen stared into Shangguan Junyi's watery eyes and said slowly.
Shangguan Junyi was stunned when he heard this, and then realized that he had unknowingly forgotten about Nangong Lin, and his mood became much more relaxed.
"Thanks."
"Sister, I once heard a sentence, and now I'm passing it on to you." Zhong Wen thought of a certain father in his previous life, "You used to be indifferent to me, but now I make it impossible for you to reach high."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Junyi trembled all over, and all kinds of feelings surged into his heart.
After a while, she raised her head and looked at the handsome young man in front of her, with longing beautiful eyes and a sweet smile. She exuded the charming aura of a mature woman: "Brother, don't worry, I have no love for Nangong Lin anymore. What’s in my heart is just the remnants of the past, just let it disappear. If he comes again, I’ll just avoid seeing him.”
"That's not okay." Zhong Wen shook his head and said, "It's him who's sorry for you, but it's not you who's sorry for her. Why are you avoiding him?"
"What are you going to do?" Shangguan Junyi looked at his expression and knew that he had another evil idea.
"When Nangong Lin comes again, we will..." Zhong Wen leaned over and whispered softly in Shangguan Junyi's ear, "What do you think, sister?"
"You...you little scoundrel!" Shangguan Junyi bit her lip and looked at him in surprise, "I'm afraid it will be a big blow to him."
"He made my sister suffer so much back then. A little punishment is nothing." Zhong Wen said disapprovingly, "It is a great kindness that my sister did not take his life without showing mercy to the scumbag."
"Sister, I am already old and lustful. If I kill my only suitor, who will be willing to marry me in the future?" Shangguan Junyi felt relaxed and couldn't help but joke.
"Sister, what are you saying? Your future husband-in-law will definitely be the most handsome, gentle and capable man in the world. He may be a little better than me." Zhong Wen saw the gentle and lively Shangguan Junyi. It was back again, and I couldn't help but feel happy.
"What if my sister can't find a man who is more handsome, gentler, and more capable than you in the future?" Shangguan Junyi said with a smile, "Do you want me to die alone?"
"If you can't find it, then you have no choice but to feel sorry for your sister and make do with your younger brother." Zhong Wen patted his chest obligingly.
Suddenly, a gust of fragrant wind drifted by, and Zhong Wen felt a soft and warm feeling on his right cheek, which turned out to be a fragrant kiss from Shangguan Junyi.
"Little brother, this is my sister's thank you gift."
Shangguan Junyi's figure has disappeared from the roof, leaving only a string of silver bell-like laughter in the air.
Touching the right cheek with lingering fragrance, Zhong Wen stayed there for a long time, feeling as if he had accidentally fallen into it.
He decided not to wash his face for three days...
