Chapter 218: Getting Married (3)

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Everyone followed Shen Yue’s gaze and saw a young man walking in from the door. He was wearing a green robe and looked quite handsome. In terms of appearance, he looked quite like Shen Gui, but there was a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows.

This person was none other than the second branch of the Shen family, Shen Gui’s eldest son, Shen Yuan.

In the second branch, Shen Yuan had always been smart. Compared to Shen Qiu, who obtained his military achievements through hard work, Shen Yuan was much more talented. When he was young, he was ranked very high in the imperial examination. Later, he was recognized by a noble and went on to become an official. However, he had to work as an official outside the capital for three years. This year was the last year, and he was supposed to stay in the capital to become an official after the end of the year. After knowing what happened to his sister, Shen Yuan rushed back, hoping to see his sister before she married.

Even Shen Yue could not help but hide behind Shen Wan. Shen Wan patted Shen Yue’s back and looked at Shen Yuan.

The people in the Shen family were more or less afraid of Shen Yuan. Perhaps it was because Shen Yuan had become an official at a young age, or perhaps it was because they felt that he was scheming and unfathomable. In short, Shen Yue and Shen Miao were very afraid of him.

Old Madam Shen was the happiest. She waved at Shen Yuan in surprise. “Yuan!” Shen Yuanbai, who was in Old Madam Shen’s arms, also shouted, “Second Brother!”

Only then did Shen Yuan smile and bow to Old Madam Shen. He called her “Grandmother” and patted Shen Yuanbai’s head. “Yuanbai has grown taller again.”

“Yuan, you must be tired after such a long journey back.” Chen Ruoqiu smiled and said, “Do you want to rest first?” Now that Ren Wanyun was not around, she was now managing the Shen family and naturally had to express her concern for the younglings.

Shen Yuan turned to look at Chen Ruoqiu. For some reason, Chen Ruoqiu’s heart sank and she felt a sense of fear. After not seeing him for a year, Shen Yuan had become more and more unfathomable. Chen Ruoqiu had always been smart, and when the children were young, she had tried to make things difficult for Shen Yuan. However, Shen Yuan was unexpectedly smart. In the end, Chen Ruoqiu was sometimes the one who suffered.

“There’s no need.” Shen Yuan said, “I came back this time to see my sister get married. If I rest, I’m afraid I’ll sleep in.”

At the mention of Shen Qing, the atmosphere in the room became a little awkward. Without any hesitation, Shen Yuan turned to look at Shen Miao who was standing beside Shen Qiu.

“It’s been a long time since we last met. Fifth Sister has changed a lot.” He narrowed his eyes. “As expected, girls change when they grow up. Fifth Sister has become… somewhat unrecognizable.”

Shen Miao looked at him calmly. Shen Yuan’s gaze was sinister and probing, like a poisonous snake crawling in the mud. She smiled. “Second Brother, you remain the same.”

Chen Ruoqiu widened her eyes. For some reason, she felt Shen Yue was teasing him. Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan both frowned at the same time, but at this moment, Shen Qiu added with a smile, “That’s right. Second Brother, you indeed don’t seem to have changed much.” Shen Yuan looked at Shen Qiu. Then, he said meaningfully, “I didn’t expect Fifth Sister and Eldest Brother to be so close now.”

“We’re from the same parents, so we are naturally very close.” Shen Miao smiled gently. “Second Brother, why don’t you go and see Eldest Sister now? If you’ve prepared something to add to her dowry, it’s not too late yet.”
