Chapter 843 Don’t want to force others into trouble
A week later, Xiao Tingshan still couldn't find any trace of Li Ye and had to give up.
However, because of the old man's fall, his health, which had just improved slightly in the past few days, took a sharp turn for the worse again.
He lay in bed for a week before he could barely move, so he missed the opportunity to present the bed crossbow designed by Mo Xiu to Emperor Qianwu.
So, he could only wait.
What are you waiting for?
Naturally, he would wait until the Daqian soldiers in Liang Province were defeated, and then he would offer the crossbow to turn the tide of the battle in order to maximize his contribution.
Some time ago, Liangzhou suffered a defeat, but he was unable to get up. There has been no news in the past few days, so he can only continue to wait.
At the same time, the second round of the Autumn Examination also began today.
Shen Shuyi went to the Shen Mansion early in the morning. The Shen Mansion was now eerily quiet, without any joyful atmosphere. Perhaps it was because of the shadow of Shen Jingan's incident, and now he was demoted, so the whole group of people were a little listless.
But Shen Shu didn't care, and of course, she believed that her brother didn't care either.
On the way to Shuhanyuan, Shen Shuyi met Liang Wanjun. Liang Wanjun was sitting by the pond in a daze. She had lost a lot of weight and looked extremely haggard.
Shen Shuyi looked cold and looked away, with no intention of speaking to her.
"Brother, are everything ready? Do you have enough money?" Shen Shuyi looked at Shen Shuhan, feeling more happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Don't worry, you haven't replied to Xie Jingchi again?" Shen Shuhan asked.
Shen Shuyi: "..."
"Did he write to you again?" Shen Shuyi asked. Shen Shuhan laughed and turned around to take out a pile of letter papers on the table.
Shen Shuyi: "..."
"If Xie Jingchi, this bastard, delays my brother's becoming a marquis and a prime minister, I will not forgive him." Shen Shuyi cursed inwardly.
"But why didn't you reply to his letter? Are you upset?" Shen Shuhan looked at his sister in front of him with interest.
Shen Shuyi was speechless and turned around and sat on the chair.
She is really more wronged than Dou E...
At the beginning, Xie Jingchi wrote a letter every three or four days, and she would naturally reply, at least she could tell him about the current situation and conditions in the capital.
But later on, he wrote one letter a day.
Obviously, he had nothing serious to write about, and the more he talked, the more nonsense it became, about the bitter cold at the border, the sleepless nights alone, the thin clothes and the hunger.
Or it could be that the nights are long and short, and I miss her.
When Shen Shuyi thought of those things, her cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
The more he writes, the more frivolous he becomes. Can she blame her for ignoring him?
Besides, she did not fail to reply to every letter. She would reply to the important letters after she finished writing them. But she never thought that he would come to his brother to complain again.
But how could she say these words?
"Could it be that you really have a new love?" Shen Shuhan joked.
"What do you mean you really have a new love?" Shen Shuyi frowned, feeling that this was really not the tone of his brother.
Shen Shuhan handed her the topmost letter: "Xie Jingchi asked me if you ran away with someone? He wanted to break the adulterer's legs."
Shen Shu's face flushed with anger. He read the letter at a glance and put it into his sleeve: "I will write back to him when I get back and tell him to stop talking nonsense."
At this moment, the servant at the door came in and announced: "Master, the second young master's wife wants to see you."
The second young master's wife? Who?
Liang Wanjun?
Shen Shuyi frowned: "What is she doing here?"
"Please ask her to sit in the front hall for a while." Shen Shuhan looked calm, without any trace of emotion.
Shen Shuyi sized up his expression, squinted his eyes and leaned forward to ask, "Brother, Liang Wanjun betrayed you like this, are you hurt? Are you upset?"
Shen Shuhan lowered his eyes and looked at her, without saying anything for a long time.
Sad?
Sad?
Of course there have been.
After all, Zhimu Shaoai had had unspeakable feelings before, but those feelings were like duckweed, so fragile and cruel that they withered before they could take root.
But compared to sadness and sorrow, perhaps there is more disappointment.
But times have changed, and now he has calmed down and no longer has any waves when facing Liang Wanjun.
Seeing Shen Shuhan's expression, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but get anxious: "This won't do... This won't do!"
Shen Shuhan tapped her head: "What are you thinking about?"
"I have to find a good marriage for my brother, the kind that will piss off Liang Wanjun to death." Shen Shuyi searched for the noble ladies in the capital in his mind and became serious.
Shen Shuhan: "..."
"Take your time to think about it. I'll go and see him."
After saying that, Shen Shuhan stood up and walked out. Shen Shuyi quickly followed him: "I'm going too!"
At this moment, Liang Wanjun was standing in the hall holding a lunch box, seeming a little restrained.
"I heard that my sister-in-law wants to see me for something?" Shen Shuhan was calm and restrained.
Hearing this, Liang Wanjun quickly turned around, with a gentle look on her face. She smiled at Shen Shuhan and said, "You are taking an exam today, so I made some food for you."
When Shen Shuyi walked in, he happened to hear this sentence and couldn't help but find it ridiculous.
"Just now I saw my second sister-in-law watching the fish by the lake. How come she has prepared the food so quickly?"
Liang Wanjun's heart tightened, and she became a little flustered: "I had it ready this morning, but I was afraid to disturb the eldest master's rest, so I came a little late."
When saying these words, Liang Wanjun felt indescribably embarrassed.
She struggled for a long time before she made up her mind to please Shen Shuhan.
Shen Jingan is just a idiot who stole fame and fortune, while Shen Shuhan is the real genius.
It's ridiculous that she mistook pearls for fish eyes and missed such a good marriage.
Now that Shen Jingan is dead, and she is still so young, is she going to be trapped in the Shen family's house for the rest of her life?
Therefore, she could only set her sights on Shen Jingan.
Shen Shuhan said gently: "It is not appropriate for you to do this. There is no shortage of servants in my house, and she is my second brother's wife. Although my second brother has passed away, you and I should still abide by the etiquette."
These words were said politely, but they made Liang Wanjun extremely embarrassed.
This morning, she struggled for a long time by the lake before deciding to come over, but she didn't expect him to say such words to humiliate her.
Liang Wanjun's tears immediately rolled down: "Shen Shuhan, have you been waiting to see me laugh?"
Shen Shuhan looked at her and did not respond. He just said, "Please take the things away, sister-in-law, and don't come again in the future."
Liang Wanjun's tears flowed more and more fiercely: "Since your leg has healed, why did you keep silent when I came to you to cancel the engagement? Did you know that Shen Jingan would be like this? You just want to take revenge on me for not testifying for you that year!"
Shen Jingan looked calm, and just said: "You want to cancel the engagement, and I don't want to force you. As for the rest, my sister-in-law is worrying too much."
A bland response, as if he was too lazy to say more, almost made Liang Wanjun collapse.
She turned around and ran out of Shuhanyuan, leaving the food box on the table beside her.
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Jinzhu, go and take it to grandma and tell her that it was made by my second sister-in-law. I wanted to give it to my eldest brother, but he has already prepared some food, so it's inconvenient to bring more. Just give it to grandma as a filial gift."
"Yes."
