Princess Pingyang and Princess Zhuang had a handkerchief relationship when they were in the boudoir. After they got married, they were in charge of the household affairs and rarely had any free time.
Finally having the chance to meet, we naturally chatted for a longer time. It was already evening by the time Princess Pingyang led the Shen family girls back home.
As soon as Shen Zhuo stepped into Lanting Pavilion, she saw her second brother Shen Wei sitting in her small courtyard, playing with some koi carp in the fish tank in the courtyard.
"Second brother, why are you here?"
"Come to see you." Shen Wei raised his eyes and smiled, stood up and walked over, reaching out and rubbing Shen Zhuo's head casually, "Are you satisfied with the results of today's test?"
Shen Zhuo raised his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth, and said proudly: "Of course I am satisfied."
"Master Xie is neither greedy for wealth nor rebellious. He is really an upright gentleman. He is indeed the person I like!"
Shen Wei's eyebrows were smiling and his eyes were doting: "It's good if you're satisfied, but it won't happen again. Let's stop with the little brat and all that."
Shen Zhuo lowered his head in embarrassment. In fact, it was not her suggestion to find the waiter, it was entirely a prank by Xiao Yushu, Zhang Jingyi and the others.
Shen Wei sighed slightly: "Your little tricks can't fool Xie Zhe."
"Xie Zhe is a gentleman and doesn't care about calculations. But if you meet a wealthy person, you will get into trouble without knowing it. Jiaojiao, you are simple-minded and not suitable for making calculations."
With that said, Shen Wei rubbed Shen Zhuo's head again and warned, "If you want to do anything in the future, just come and tell the second brother, and the second brother will help you."
Shen Zhuo's eye sockets suddenly felt sore, and she lowered her head, trying her best to hide the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes.
Although Shen Wei would be cruel to her and control her, he would also indulge her and protect her.
In her previous life, she witnessed Shen Wei being beheaded at Caishikou. That scene was a nightmare that she would never get rid of.
Shen Wei stared at Shen Zhuo with his head lowered and said, "The third child said that you were trying to find out Xie Zhe's character on behalf of your friend. Jiaojiao, are you not telling the truth?"
"I really can't hide anything from my second brother. I'm not looking after you for my friend, but for my sister."
Shen Zhuo knew that her excuse could hide it from Shen Xi, but not Shen Wei.
"Are you looking after Ayao?"
Shen Wei was stunned, this was really beyond his expectation.
He thought it was Shen Zhuo who was fooling around. After all, she was only five years old, yet she dared to drag a young master she didn't know and clamor to marry her just because the young master was handsome.
"Yes." Shen Zhuo nodded, "Sister, I'm going to be a girl by the end of the year, and after that, I'll discuss marriage. I don't want to make the first choice for her. When I saw Mr. Xie, I felt that it was a good match."
Shen Wei gave her a funny slap: "Ayao's parents have the final say on her marriage, so why are you causing trouble?"
"Second brother, I don't want my sister to marry into the royal family." Shen Zhuo's voice was low.
Shen Wei's eyes froze and he looked at Shen Zhuo: "Why did Jiaojiao say this?"
"Don't think that I don't know, my father just wants to marry my sister into the royal family." Shen Zhuo glanced at Shen Wei and said angrily.
"The title of princess sounds very noble, but which palace doesn't have a lot of concubines and a lot of trouble? Besides, the Tian family has always been ruthless, and you may be demoted or punished one day. I don't want my sister to suffer. These sins!”
"Where did you hear this?" Shen Wei frowned.
"It's written like this in the storybook. Even the queen can be demoted to the cold palace, and the concubines are also given three feet of white silk and poisonous wine." Shen Zhuo curled his lips and pretended not to care.
Shen Zhuo couldn't tell Shen Wei that these were all things he had seen with his own eyes in his previous life.
Shen Wei pinched her cheek and said angrily: "You should read less story books from now on, your mind is full of nonsense."
Then, Shen Wei said seriously: "Ayao is the eldest daughter of the Shen family. Her marriage is not as simple as you think. But don't worry, as long as your father is here, your brother is here, and I am here, even the prince will Why don’t you bully her even a little bit?”
"What if you were bullied?" Shen Zhuo asked stubbornly, glaring.
In her previous life, Shen Yao was not only bullied, but also lost her life. Not only did she lose her own, but also her son Xiao Nan's.
"Then I'll get it back tenfold. If I can't get it back..." Shen Wei suddenly smiled and said casually, "It's not like we can't fight back in this world."
In the previous life, Shen Wei did rebel.
Shen Zhuo burst into tears, and a few drops of crystal tears hung on her long eyelashes.
Shen Wei noticed Shen Zhuo's mood swings. He raised Shen Zhuo's face and looked at it carefully. There was concern and worry in his eyes: "Jiaojiao, are you worried?"
Shen Zhuo couldn't bear it anymore and threw himself into Shen Wei's arms and cried loudly.
This cry made Shen Wei confused and distressed. Shen Zhuo likes to act coquettishly, but rarely cries.
Shen Wei hurriedly hugged Shen Zhuo and said repeatedly: "Jiaojiao, be good, don't cry. If you have anything to do, tell second brother, and second brother will make the decision for you."
"Second brother~~~~I had a terrible nightmare."
"Don't be afraid, Jiaojiao, dreams are all fake." Shen Wei gently patted Shen Zhuo and comforted him softly, "I'll ask Qingshan to get you some soothing medicine later."
"Second brother, you have to protect your face, otherwise Jiaojiao won't be able to find you!" Shen Zhuo grabbed Shen Wei's clothes and cried so hard that he was out of breath.
Shen Wei moved his hands for a moment, not knowing what expression to make. Should you cry, laugh, or laugh or cry?
Shen Wei is the most outstanding person in the Shen family. Although Shen Xi is carved in the same mold as him, Shen Wei's temperament is calmer and gentler. Her movements were full of elegance, her smile was solemn, and her movements were clear and cheerful. Shen Xi was immediately outclassed.
Everyone in the Shen family knew that Shen Zhuo was so beautiful, but Shen Wei never expected that this was why Shen Zhuo cried so sadly.
However, what Shen Wei didn't know was that he had been disfigured in his previous life, and Shen Zhuomu recognized him immediately and missed the last chance to save him.
"Okay, okay, second brother will take good care of this face." Shen Wei reluctantly agreed. He still patted Shen Zhuo and comforted her, "Even if second brother is really hurt one day and touches this face, Jiaojiao, look at your third brother more often, it’s the same thing.”
"No, it's different. Third brother is not as good-looking as you." Shen Zhuo said with sobs.
Shen Xi, who had just stepped into Lanting Pavilion, paused when he heard this and said, "Tsk, tsk, Jiaojiao, do you think you dislike me for not being good-looking?"
