Rebirth and madness, I am no longer the mistress of this high-class family!

Shen Xuan originally looked very helpless.

Now she heard Gao Wei say that she had seen the portrait of the woman in his study, and she instantly became nervous.

"What are you talking about, mother? What kind of portrait?"

Gao Wei snorted and told him:

"That day I wanted to bring you the embroidered knee pads. I saw you looking at a portrait in a daze, so I took a look from a distance. My mother remembered it clearly. The portrait was clearly a young girl. Look at the portrait. The look in your eyes is exactly the same as the look in your father's eyes when he was young. May I not know what you think about the person in the painting?"

When Shen Xuan heard that she had only seen a rough idea, he breathed a sigh of relief and pinched his eyebrows helplessly.

"Yes, I have the person I like, but she doesn't know my feelings yet, and I haven't found the time to explain it to her yet, but I guess it will be this year's time."

The implication was that Gao Wei should stop urging her, as he was already making plans.

"Then can't you tell Wei Niang which family she is from? It would be better for Wei Niang to check her family background with your father earlier."

"Mother." Shen Yuan interrupted Gao Wei, leaned the folded paper umbrella against the wall on the left side of the threshold, and walked in.

"If brother doesn't want to say it, don't force him. How can you not know what kind of temper he is? When has he done anything that worries you and dad?"

The girl at the door was illuminated by the dark pearl light in the room, and the ruby ​​earrings on her earlobes shone brightly. As soon as she appeared, all the light in the room focused on her.

Gao Wei and Shen Xuan were startled at the same time, surprised that Shen Yuan would appear here now.

"Yuan'er, why are you back?" Gao Wei came to her senses and walked quickly towards Shen Yuan. She grabbed one of her hands out of habit and found it was cold, so she asked her why she didn't wear a windproof cloak for herself.

"It's okay. I'll just have dinner later. I haven't had dinner yet. As for the reason for coming back, I'll tell you later."

Gao Wei frowned even more when she heard that she hadn't eaten her dinner yet, so she had to let Shen Xuan go first. She went to prepare dinner and said she would cook it herself.

Because if you think about it carefully, it has been almost a whole month since the last Lantern Festival passed until now. Shen Yuan has finally come back, so naturally he has to treat her well.

Seeing that she seemed to be in a hurry, Shen Xuan saw that her black hair was a little messy and her clothes were a little wrinkled. He vaguely guessed some answers and asked her: "But you have already made peace with Pei Zhaoxue? Are you coming back from Tingzhou?" of?"

Seeing that Shen Yuan's black hair was still a little wet, the young man subconsciously grabbed her wrist and led her into the house without waiting for her answer in a hurry.

"Well, the matter with the Pei family has basically been settled. I came back this time just to talk to my family about it."

Shen Yuan was brought to his couch by Shen Xuan and sat down. The green silk quilt was covered with the soft kudzu cloth he brought over, and he carefully wiped the wet areas for her.

"Did you get the Heli Wen Deed too? Will Pei Zhaoxue really let you go?"

The young man stared at the red cinnabar mole on Shen Yuan's forehead for a while, feeling extremely excited.

Until Heli, it seemed that Pei Zhaoxue had not been able to touch Shen Yuan's body.

"got it."

As for the last sentence, Shen Yuan did not reply.

Because she didn't know why Pei Zhaoxue had reconciled with her.

Did he really let her go? She doesn't think so.

After talking about her, Shen Yuan remembered the picture scroll girl Gao Wei had just mentioned and asked Shen Xuan about it.

"Why didn't I know before that my brother still has someone he likes? What will my future sister-in-law look like? Can you bring me the scroll so I can see it?"

The girl's eyes were full of curiosity, but besides curiosity, there were also some emotions that she couldn't distinguish.

She knew that Shen Xuan was destined to marry and have children in the future, but that also meant that the relationship between her and him could not continue to be such a good relationship.

She can no longer gently wipe her wet hair with Gebu like she did today. Shen Xuan's gentle brows and eyes were hidden in darkness, and his gaze towards Shen Yuan began to reveal undisguised aggression.

There wasn't much wet black hair on her forehead. Gebu had absorbed enough water by now and it was time to take it away.

But he moved Gebu down, rubbing it against her slender neck intentionally or unintentionally, and said in a gentle voice: "Yuaner really wants to see me with the woman next to me?"

Shen Xuan thought she had rainwater on her neck, so he didn't think much about it.

She hesitated for a while, but finally told the truth.

"Actually, I don't think so. I'm just at a loss and confused about how to get along with my brother in a new way in the future, and how to get along with my future sister-in-law."

"I"

"Yuan'er." Shen Xuan put away Ge Bu, and his face entered the light from the darkness.

The dim candlelight illuminated his willow-leaf eyes brightly, and his expression was somewhat solemn and nervous.

"Don't worry about this. None of the things you fear will happen in the future."

Shen Yuan was a little confused after hearing this, and looked into his eyes. Her eyes were unconsciously burned by some of the emotions flowing out of his eyes: "Brother, what do you mean?"

Does he plan to never marry and have children for the rest of his life?

Shen Xuan moved closer to her, and the two of them were so close that they were almost ambiguous.

The feeling of his warm breath spraying on the face was particularly clear and strong. He was just a little bit away from kissing her, and Shen Yuan was stunned.

"I can show you the portrait."

Noticing her panic, Shen Xuan suppressed the desire that was about to burst out of his heart and said something like this without any clue.

After saying that, he distanced himself from Shen Yuan, his Adam's apple rolled up and down where she couldn't see, and he swallowed.

It was so dangerous, I almost couldn't hold back the kiss just now.

Shen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed the random thoughts in his heart, stood up from his couch, and followed him into the study.

The study room was almost spotless. The young man walking in front walked around several bookshelves and finally stopped in front of the innermost bookshelf. He raised his hand and took down the picture album placed at the top of the bookshelf.

There is no dust on the album, and you can tell that it has been looked at frequently.

Shen Yuan reached out to take it, and Shen Xuan's eyes were fixed on her face: "After reading this, you will understand why I said that just now."

When I opened the picture album, the first page showed a faceless girl dressed in pink. The girl wore a double bun and was flying a kite with a kite string in her hand.

Looking at the girl in pink clothes, Shen Yuan felt vaguely familiar, but didn't think much about it, and then opened the second, third, and fourth pages.

The further the album goes, the older the girl becomes, until she grows into a graceful beauty.

Shen Yuan flipped the picture album back and forth a few more times, his eyes fell on the woman with no facial features on it, and asked in confusion: "Brother, how come you have no face?"

And not only that, the period between the ages of eleven and thirteen for the girl in the album seems to have been cut out, and she jumped straight to the age of fourteen.

Seeing how slow she was, Shen Xuan gave her the last hint: "Don't Yuan'er look familiar? The woman in the album."

Shen Yuan: It’s not what I thought, is it?
