Chapter 365 Double Happiness

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Yes, it's a pity that the fifth sister doesn't have such an in-law."

This sentence made Shen Meiru's face awkward. After a long silence, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and choked up, "Are you still blaming me, Second Sister? Blaming me for picking up the calligraphy in your study and giving it to Madam."

Shen Shuyi handed the box to Jinzhu beside him and carefully looked at the fifth sister in front of him.

In her previous life, Shen Meiru married a pretty good woman. Qin Xuerong didn't care much about her and her daughter, but she was afraid of disappointing the servants. Therefore, the man she chose for Shen Meiru was not from a wealthy family, but a minor official with a clean background in the capital.

Shen Jingyu was bent on marrying up to a rich and powerful man, and ended up dying tragically, but Shen Meiru's life was unexpectedly smooth.

Her husband's family was not very capable, so they relied heavily on her, a concubine's daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. The man had some abilities, and Shen Meiru was always willing to take advantage of opportunities, so she lived a good life. Later, because she became Xiao Tingshan's concubine, she was regarded as a member of the Sixth Prince's party and was promoted.

Shen Shuyi no longer knew whether Shen Meiru had attempted to murder her in the Shangshu Mansion in her previous life. After all, many details had passed for many years and she had not noticed them.

She just remembered that after Xiao Tingshan regained his status as a prince, this fifth sister started to hang out with her more often, calling her "Second Sister" affectionately.

But when she was injured, seriously ill and out of power, she quickly drew a line.

It's not that Shen Shuyi hates her, but she is a sycophantic, selfish person, and she only cares about her own interests.

Shen Shuyi felt that this was not wrong. After all, everyone has their own aspirations. But if she put her plans on herself, she would be making a big mistake.

"I thought Fifth Sister would never mention this matter." Shen Shuyi said in a calm voice, his almond-shaped eyes cold.

Shen Meiru's tears flowed more and more fiercely, and she choked up and said, "I know that my second sister blames me, but I had no choice at that time. My aunt's life was in the hands of the lady. If this happened to my second sister, what would she do?"

Shen Shuyi said slowly: "Fifth sister, are you sure you don't want to ask for credit from mother?"

This one sentence made Shen Meiru's expression change again.

"I don't blame you for disregarding other people's reputations for your own benefit. But since we both know each other, Fifth Sister, there's no need to force me to be affectionate and close to you."

Shen Shuyi said this lightly and said nothing more to her.

Not everyone is worthy of treating you sincerely, becoming your friend or sister, and of course, not everyone has to be your enemy.

As for what Shen Meiru chooses, she will be there for him.

After Shen Shuyi left the tent, Shen Meiru sat on the bed and started crying.

Why did everyone look down on her and bully her?

Seeing this scene, Shen Qinghuan paused, and finally advised: "You were wrong in the first place. Second sister is generous enough not to bother with you. Why do you have to..."

Hearing this, Shen Meiru looked at her with red eyes: "You want to say that I am a playboy and a sycophant, right? You are just a concubine's daughter, do you think she will be sincere to you?"

Shen Qinghuan: "..."

Forget it, I don’t know what it means.

When Shen Shuyi left the tent, the venue had already become busy.

The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet has been prepared for a long time. Although it has been moved to the hunting ground in the suburbs, it must not be vague.

The world is vast, majestic and magnificent.

In the distance, there are mountains connected to the sky and the clouds are brilliant. It is not the spring with lush grass, flying orioles, misty willows and flowering trees, but it has a different flavor in the whistling wind and the clear snow.

Yes, some light snow was floating in the air and turned into a wet snowflake when it fell to the ground. The snowflakes were very fine and it felt cool and refreshing when they fell on the face.

Huge red leather drums were placed around and bonfires were lit in clusters.

The tents that were connected together were decorated with maroon and bright yellow satin, while the main tent of the royal entourage was embroidered with luxurious and beautiful embroidery of golden dragons and jade phoenixes. The empress dowager's golden tent was embroidered with two flying golden phoenixes using dark red silk thread inlaid with gold as the base.

In the distance, smoke was rising from cooking. The guards were busy training, while the palace maids and eunuchs were busy preparing meals.

Not long after they walked out, Zhao Baokun came up from somewhere, his eyes sparkling with an indescribable excitement.

"cousin!"

Shen Shuyi turned around and glanced at him, only to find that the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears: "Pay attention to your expression."

Shen Shuyi reminded him softly, and Zhao Baokun immediately held it back.

But even so, he couldn't hide his excitement, and it looked a bit funny at the moment.

Shen Shuyi retracted his gaze and chuckled: "My uncle escaped death, how can you be so happy?"

"What you taught me is right, cousin." Zhao Baokun bowed with both hands, looking like he was listening carefully to the instruction. But the next moment, he leaned closer and whispered, "Cousin, you don't know, my father is even more excited than me. He sighed in pain one moment, and then hid in the quilt and trembled the next moment."

A picture appeared in front of Shen Shuyi's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask: "Trembling?"

"Yes, after all, he can't laugh too loudly, right? He has to be more low-key than me."

The brother and sister were chatting incoherently, and before they had walked far, they saw from afar Shen Jingchuan scolding Shen Jingzhen with a cold face.

Shen Shuyi stopped and pondered what Shen Jingchuan said, which was probably about her marriage with the Feng family.

I don’t know if it’s because she has nothing to lose or because the matter is done, but Shen Jingzhen in this life is much bolder than in her previous life.

At least in Shen Shuyi's memory, although she and Feng Bochang had flirted with each other, they were not as crazy as they were in this life.

"Do you still have any sense of shame? You have brought disgrace upon the Shen family!" Shen Jingchuan scolded in a low voice. Since there were several female relatives living in the tent now, it was not convenient for him to go there, so he could only call them outside to lecture them.

Shen Jingzhen's eyes turned red: "Shame on you, shame on you, you all know that I will bring shame to the Shen family! But have you ever thought about my feelings!"

Shen Jingchuan's chest was heaving with anger, and he said in a cold voice: "Since ancient times, parents have made decisions based on matchmakers' words. Your two sisters haven't even arranged marriages yet, so how can it be your turn? Besides, you and Feng Bochang have been flirting with each other, have you ever thought about your reputation? How can you, the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, be so lowly? Have you ever thought about whether the Feng family will really marry you?"

Shen Jingchuan was really angry, and he was more open these days than usual in Beijing.

But Shen Jingzhen's performance yesterday had already made many of his colleagues make fun of him, saying that he was having a double happiness and was going to satisfy his father-in-law's desire at once!

Let’s not talk about Shen Jingyu for now, let’s just talk about the marriage between Shen Jingzhen and the Feng family, that’s simply nonsense!

Listening to his words, Shen Jingzhen's eyes turned red and she said angrily, "Why not? Brother Feng promised to marry me!"
