Marry the first wife

General Jingyuan's Mansion has been bustling for days, but Fu Yao unexpectedly fell ill.

Illness comes like a mountain down, sickness goes like a thread.

Lying in bed sickly, listening to the wind and rain is rarely pleasant.

Maybe it's because I'm really sick, all those bad things have gone away, I don't think about anything, I don't need to ask anything.

Even the most annoying people are rarely seen.

"Mr. Shen is a talented man, and he is also known as the man who is looking for flowers. Many girls in our house are hoping to take a look at him."

Xiao Cui, who was guarding the door, said softly.

"Yes, yes, Xiaocui, I also saw Mr. Shen yesterday. He was so handsome." Another little maid said, with an inexplicable blush on her face.

Fu Yao in the inner room couldn't help but chuckle and sighed to herself, what does the little girl know?

Shen Zhaoxian is like the white moon in the sky. One look in his eye can make a woman miss him, let alone a girl who is just the right age to fall in love with him?

"Hey, but I heard that the eldest lady intends to betroth the cousin to Mr. Shen?"

After a long time, I heard Xiao Cui's faint voice.

Another little maid exclaimed: "Isn't it betrothed to the eldest girl? Didn't the old lady say before..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiaocui interrupted: "What's the use of the old lady's talk? You must know that the real decision-maker in General Jingyuan's Mansion is the eldest lady. It would be great if the second lady is here."

Maybe with the help of the second wife, she could be Mr. Shen's concubine?

Fu Yao's eyes deepened, obviously shocked by the marriage between Shen Zhaoxian and Zhou Chuyao.

She didn't know what was going on, but she knew this about Zhou Chuyao.

How many times had she intentionally or unintentionally seen Zhou Chuyao looking at her elder brother in a particularly different way? She didn't believe that Mrs. Xie didn't know what Zhou Chuyao was thinking.

The cheeks that were originally slightly pale are now white and somewhat transparent, and the round eyes are dark and bright, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart.

No matter what, she only wants one result.

I just want to ask if I have ever liked it even a little bit.

Some people focus on the process, but Fu Yao only focuses on the results.

······

The market, which was noisy a few days ago, is now as usual, calm and a little lively.

However, after all, it was not as lively as that day when the No. 1 pick was paraded through the streets.

Fu Yao was still sitting in the same position that day, looking down at the market where people were coming and going. The red dress and white face were etched in her heart for a long time.

The world is extinguished, and there is only that one person in front of me.

With a creak, the door was slowly pushed open, and the jade-like man stepped into the house.

Shen Zhaoxian stood at the door and looked at the woman in front of him quietly. He closed the door behind him and only stepped forward after confirming that everything was correct.

Standing one foot away from Fu Yao, he bowed and held his hands in front of her, saying with a glazed look and a sense of distance, "I've seen a big girl before."

Fu Yao raised her hand slightly, pointed to the seat opposite, and motioned for him to sit in front of her.

"Please take a seat. Mr. Shen is well."

He gathered his cloak, nodded and said softly.

"Is Mr. Shen okay when he comes in?"

Underneath the calm voice was hidden the turbulent sadness. The day before she came, Mrs. Xie summoned her alone and her marriage to the Li family had been decided.

One of those people was her, and she was powerless to disobey.

To be more precise, he is cowardly, not daring to bet on a daughter marrying the most solid backing, her natal family.

As long as General Jingyuan's residence is still there, and as long as her father still stands in the court, she will be the noble second wife of the Li family. It was an extremely short life. She lost everything in the first half of her life. Even if the Li family didn't like her but she had real money and silver by her side, she could spend this life peacefully.

As for the person in front of him, he was ashamed to say the least.

She didn't dare to use all her courage and strength to fight against everything for Shen Zhaoxian. Perhaps the meaning of 'self' in her heart was always more important than those illusory love.

Shen Zhaoxian sat in front of the eldest lady and said softly: "I'm sorry to bother you, eldest lady."

What a formulaic answer!

Fu Yao slightly raised the corners of her lips with a mocking arc, and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Shen has a happy event coming soon?"

After that, he picked up a cup of tea and took a sip, using the cup to cover his trembling pupils.

"I don't know anything about it. I wonder where the big girl came from?"

As soon as he said these words, Shen Zhaoxian regretted it. What did a young girl from the Jingyuan General's Mansion have that she didn't know?

Fu Yao turned to look at Shen Zhaoxian, moved her lips but didn't say a word.

Shen Zhaoxian lowered his eyes and looked at the cup with the blue bird printed in front of him, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he slowly said: "I wonder what the big lady is asking me to come here for today?"

The invitation to him was indeed an invitation she personally presented to Shen Zhao, inviting him to come to the teahouse today for a chat.

"A few days ago, I heard that Mr. Shen was getting married to Zhou Gunniang."

'Boom~'

The scalding tea suddenly fell to the ground, and a few drops of tea splashed on the corners of his clothes.

For a while, no one paid attention to the tea.

Fu Yao looked at the man in front of her silently, her eyes red, and then asked: "Are you really willing to marry Zhou Chuyao?"

"Then are you also willing to marry the second young master of the Li family?"

Shen Zhaoxian asked in return, without directly answering the sad-looking woman in front of him. His hands on his knees were tightly clasped together.

With a wry smile on her face, Fu Yao moved her lips, "If I don't want to, what will you do?"

Shen Zhaoxian froze on the spot, as if he had never thought about this problem.

With ambition in his heart and his eyes on the world, having an affair with his children has never been his choice.

Fu Yao suddenly laughed, pointed at Shen Zhaoxian with her slender jade finger, and said with a smile: "I'm just kidding, don't take it to heart."

Shen Zhaoxian remained silent.

"You see, you and I both know that the person we love is always ourselves, and loving yourself is the first priority." So, I don't blame you, because I am the same way.

He let out a long sigh and then said: "Actually, I already knew this result."

Shen Zhaoxian suddenly raised his head and looked at the eldest girl in surprise. He didn't understand why she still asked after knowing it. God knows, what are the consequences of doing this?

"Because, the question I want to ask is another one, and it was never this one?" She stated the facts in a calm tone, and Fu Yao shook her head slightly.

"What is it?"

"You, have I ever existed in your heart for a moment?"

Fu Yao hesitated for a long time before deciding to speak out her thoughts. She only had this chance.

In the future, she will be trapped in the back house of the Li family, and it will only be a matter of time before the person in front of her becomes an eagle soaring into the sky.

There will no longer be a chance for the two of them to meet again, and even if they do, they will be bound by each other's identities.

As each minute passed, the serious dismay gradually disappeared and turned into gloom.

Fu Yao looked at the person in front of her softly, just like when they first met. She took a deep breath and said softly: "Shen Zhaoxian, I'm not sad at all. I did what I thought I should do."
