Early the next morning, Shen Yunshu asked Chunrou to take the box containing the banknotes and prepare to go out.
"You're injured, where are you going?" Shen Chenghai stopped her.
Chen Yunshu said without changing his expression: "I'm going out to inspect the tea shop."
Shen Chenghai clasped his hands behind his back and said, "I'm just going to stay at home and have a good rest these days. I'm not allowed to go anywhere."
"Shibo."
At this moment, a noble young man with handsome features, bronze complexion, wearing a light blue robe, and a head taller than Shen Yunshu appeared at the door.
Shen Yunshu stared at him several times, as if he had seen him before somewhere.
"We haven't seen each other for ten years. Sister Shu is already a tall and graceful girl."
Seeing that Shen Yunshu didn't respond, he bent down and approached Shen Yunshu, "Why, you don't recognize me anymore?"
"I said Zhou Yanxing, could you please stop teasing my sister just after you came back?" Shen Yunjue said angrily.
Zhou Yanxing?
He is the son of his father's best friend. He and Shen Yunshu are not only good friends, but also brothers who cooperate with each other on the battlefield. When he was a child, he often came to the house to practice martial arts with Shen Yunjue, so Shen Yunshu also knew him.
But in his previous life, he also died while protecting the general's mansion.
"What?" Zhou Yanxing cried when he saw Shen Yunshu's expression, "You don't welcome me so much?"
Shen Yunshu came back to his senses and smiled at Zhou Yanxing, "Brother Yanxing, long time no see."
"It's been ten years. Have you, little girl, forgotten about me?" Zhou Yanxing always liked to tease Shen Yunshu before.
"If you don't come back, I'm afraid I will really forget it." Shen Yunshu joked.
"Don't worry, I won't leave when I come back this time."
Zhou Yanxing is still as gentle as before, as if he was supposed to be a gentle scholar, but he went to an unexpected battlefield.
When Shen Chenghai saw Zhou Yanxing, he came over to greet him, "You have been staying in the north for ten years. Now that you are back, your mother and grandmother can rest assured."
"I heard that I got promoted this time, which is good." Shen Yunjue was happy for Zhou Yanxing.
Zhou Yanxing patted Shen Yunjue on the shoulder and said, "Please ask the young general to take more care of him in the future."
He then remembered something and pretended to be casual, "By the way, I received your letter last time, saying that Sister Shu is getting married. Has the wedding date been set? Is it appropriate for me to come back?"
Shen Yunshu came over and answered for Shen Yunjue: "The wedding date has not been decided yet. If it is set in the future, I will inform Brother Yanxing first."
Zhou Yanxing looked at Shen Yunjue awkwardly, but Shen Yunjue just spread his hands, indicating that the truth was exactly what Shen Yunshu said.
"Don't stand here, go inside and talk." Shen Chenghai saw everyone standing at the door chatting.
"Uncle Shi, I have to go home to visit my grandmother and mother, so I won't interrupt you. I'll visit you another day." Zhou Yanxing handed the things in his hand to Uncle Wen.
"I haven't seen Grandma Zhou and Aunt Zhou for a while. Brother Yanxing, I'll go back with you." Shen Yunshu seized the opportunity and walked with Zhou Yan while Shen Chenghai wasn't paying attention.
When Shen Chenghai reacted, he quickly asked Shen Yunjue to catch Shen Yunshu.
"Girl, have you made any mistakes? It seems to me that Shibo doesn't want you to leave the house." Zhou Yanxing could tell at a glance.
Shen Yunshu didn't hide it, "It's okay to make a mistake, but I have very important things to deal with."
Zhou Yanxing crossed his arms and said, "Zhezhu, you were using me to sneak out."
"Brother Yanxing, you will get angry if you use him." Shen Yunshu smiled at Zhou Yanxing.
Zhou Yanxing pursed his lips and pretended to ask casually, "I received a letter from your brother a while ago, saying that you are getting married. Did something happen, or is that guy treating you badly?"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, "If that guy really dares to betray you, I will definitely beat him up for you."
When Shen Yunshu saw Zhou Yanxing's indignant look, he remembered the scene when he was bullied when he was a child, and Zhou Yanxing and Shen Yunjue beat the person to tears together.
"Let's not talk about the past. Besides, I don't have the heart to think about it now. I still have a lot of things to do."
Compared with marriage, her more important task after rebirth is revenge!
"Brother Yanxing, I still have something to do. After I finish my work, I will help you with my brother."
After saying that, Shen Yunshu said goodbye to Zhou Yanxing and left.
Zhou Yanxing stood there and looked at Shen Yunshu's leaving figure. For some reason, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
"What are you looking at?" Shen Yunjue came to him at some point.
"What happened to Sister Shu's marriage?" Zhou Yanxing quickly asked Shen Yunjue.
Shen Yunjue told him the ins and outs of the whole incident.
"Only she can do such a thing!" Zhou Yanxing felt angry for Shen Yunshu just thinking about it, "As an elder brother, didn't you help her vent her anger?"
Shen Yunjue said meaningfully, "I thought of it, but I didn't even have room to show it."
Zhou Yanxing frowned, not quite understanding what he meant.
Finally, after listening to Shen Yunjue's explanation, he was surprised, "Sister Shu is so powerful?"
In the impression, Shen Yunshu has always been a gentle and timid little girl, why would she make such a series of counterattacks?
"To tell you the truth, I think Shu'er has changed a lot. I always feel like she's hiding something in her heart and doesn't want to tell me." Shen Yunjue sighed.
"Okay, your sister is also my sister. I will protect her with you in the future." Zhou Yanxing put his hand on Shen Yunjue's shoulder.
Shen Yunjue raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Yanxing, "Why do I think you are quite happy to hear that Shu'er's marriage is over?"
"Sister Shu is so good, so she deserves better." Zhou Yanxing said without hesitation.
Because he had no father since he was a child, Zhou Yanxing's temperament has always been dull. It was Shen Yunshu who gave him the light in his gloomy life. In his eyes, Shen Yunshu was the best girl in the world.
"By the way, my parents are preparing to find a match for her, but Shu'er said that she should look for her herself first." Shen Yunjue thought for a while, "I'm afraid that she will find someone like Song Xiuche again."
"Sister Shu is innocent, but she is not stupid." Zhou Yanxing felt that since Shen Yunshu had done so, he should have let go of Song Xiuche.
"I hope so."
Zhou Yanxing came to his senses and said, "Uncle Shi asked you to come find Sister Shu. Why are you chatting with me?"
"I know, I know, let's have a drink together another day." After Shen Yunjue said that, he left.
Zhou Yanxing suppressed his smile and fell into silence again. Now that he was different from before, would he have a chance to get closer to her again?
At this time, Shen Yunshu had arrived at Yanyu Tower.
"Miss Shen, why don't you go back first? The master won't be here today." Shopkeeper Liu told Shen Yunshu after personally bringing her tea.
Shen Yunshu brought the teacup to his nose and smelled it, "Go and do your work. I'll wait here for a while."
But two hours passed, and Xiao Jingzhi did not appear.
Chunrou looked out the window and the sun was setting. "Miss, it's getting late, why don't we go back first."
There was not a trace of expression fluctuation on Shen Yunshu's cold face. She tapped her slender index finger on the table, once, twice, three times...
Is Xiao Jingzhi really not coming?
