Chapter 224: Is a short absence better than a new marriage?
Shen Ruyi's impression of Zhao Manman instantly went bad. She was Chen Wentong's fiancée, but she was full of hostility towards her. She didn't want to find a way to maintain a relationship with her fiancé, but instead tried to intimidate her. She must be mentally ill!
Shen Ruyi never spoke to Zhao Manman again. She turned around and walked downstairs with an expressionless face.
After coming down from Ke Yunlai Building, Shen Ruyi took a few steps and saw several horses rushing towards him. She instinctively stood aside, but the horses pulled the reins.
When the little girl looked up, the man had already jumped off his horse and rushed over. He almost couldn't control himself and hugged the little girl in his arms on the street.
You can tell at a glance how excited the man is, he is happy to see the little girl!
Qin Beiyu looked at Shen Ruyi from a distance and said, "Ruyi, why don't you wait for your cousin to have dinner together?"
Shen Ruyi was so angry that she laughed: "Cousin, what time is it now? Am I going to starve?
Otherwise, cousin, you can go upstairs to eat. I'll stay with you. I'll let Zhaocai and Jinbao take Xiaohong and Xiaobi back first.
My cousin, please take me home later. I bought a hair crown for him as a gift."
The man couldn't help grinning: "Okay! Cousin, I'll take Ruyi home later! Let's go..."
Qian Qingwanqing hurriedly sent the horses to the hitching post, and Qin Beiyu took Shen Ruyi to the restaurant. Xiaobi, Xiaohong, as well as Zhaocai and Jinbao, all went home together.
Because Shen Ruyi and Qin Beiyu went upstairs again, Zhao Manman, who was sitting there and was about to leave, was frozen at that moment. She saw Qin Beiyu's gentle and careful look. Was it because he was with Shen Ruyi?
The man who was cold and ruthless to her took Shen Ruyi to the table where Shen Ruyi had just sat. The table had been cleaned up, and the shopkeeper came over and asked what she wanted to eat.
Shen Ruyi took the menu and ordered four dishes for Qin Beiyu. The man smiled and said, "Bring two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and let my cousin accompany me to eat a few more bites!"
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Cousin, I'm actually full, but I want to sacrifice my life to accompany you!"
"Hahaha...cousin, you've done me so much good, why don't you pledge your love to her?"
“Puchi…Hahaha! Cousin, you are shameless…”
The two chatted and laughed, and the man ate his meal like a whirlwind. While eating, he looked at the girl with bright eyes and said, "Ruyi, I knew you were back, so I wanted to visit you this morning, but there was an emergency at the military camp, so I went there instead.
I came back to see you as soon as I finished my work, but I didn't expect you had already finished your meal!"
Shen Ruyi: "Cousin, I'm back in the capital, and I'm not in a hurry to leave. Why are you in such a hurry? How are things going?"
The man frowned and said, "It hasn't rained since the spring plowing this year. Now the crops on the wasteland reclaimed by the Qin family army are not growing anymore. Some have already died. I went to organize the soldiers to dig wells for irrigation as soon as possible to see if we can save the crops, but the effect of digging wells is not very good!"
Shen Ruyi nodded and said, "Cousin, the crops should be irrigated with water at this time, otherwise there may be no harvest this year."
The man smiled and said, "Ruyi, let's not talk about this anymore. Tell your cousin how your journey back was."
"Cousin, when we arrived in Fengyuan County, we heard that you and your uncle were fighting bandits there.
Now the people of Fengyuan County are praising your uncle and your achievements!"
Qin Beiyu's lips curved up: "What's that? Just a group of bandits. I'm worried that you and the county lady will be disturbed if you go there. Ruyi, I'll take you to the East Palace to see my mother when I have time.
Pan Liangdi went to the royal temple to practice meditation, and my mother has been in a bad mood recently."
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Well, I was planning to go to the palace with my grandmother tomorrow to pay my respects to my aunt.
My eldest brother is getting married on the 26th of this month, and my grandmother wants to discuss some things with my aunt, so I'll go and see my aunt and my great grandmother and grandfather.
I brought them gifts. I didn’t make it in time to celebrate the birthday of the Imperial Grandmother, so I brought them gifts back from Shunjing City…”
The man and the woman were talking and laughing in sweet tones, which stunned Zhao Manman, who was sitting in the back. This man was indeed in love with this girl. They were so intimate and talked like a couple.
Zhao Manman unconsciously clenched the chopsticks in her hand. She didn't know how much strength she used, but the chopsticks were broken.
She watched the man finish his meal and then lead the little girl downstairs. She followed him downstairs unconsciously and got into the carriage like a zombie. Sitting in the carriage, she could still see the man walking along the street. He was holding an oil-paper umbrella for the little girl. Maybe he was afraid that the little girl would get sunburned?
That iron-blooded god of war, the man who saved his life, was actually so affectionate towards that little girl!
Zhao Manman really couldn't help feeling sad in her heart. Her tears blurred her vision. She closed the car window, returned to the general's mansion, rushed into her own room and tore the sky-blue skirt into pieces!
Zhao Manman was really unwilling to accept this. She lay on the bed and recalled the expression Chen Wentong had when he looked at Shen Ruyi, and also recalled the look that Prince Qin Beiyu had given Shen Ruyi...
She really couldn't imagine what position she held in the hearts of these two men and what kind of existence she was.
Could it be that I was born at the wrong time? Qin Beiyu is deeply in love with Shen Ruyi! Chen Wentong is also deeply in love with his stepsister! So what will it be like if I marry her?
Zhao Manman really wanted to kill Shen Ruyi. It was because of her that her situation became so embarrassing!
Not to mention how unwilling Zhao Manman was, Qin Beiyu and Shen Ruyi were here. The two of them could be said to be reunited after a short separation. The look in their eyes when they looked at each other was so touching that they both felt that the other was so beautiful!
A young couple was strolling on the streets of the capital. The man was holding an oil-paper umbrella for the woman. They were talking about topics that only interested them, becoming a beautiful scenery in the capital.
Who doesn't know? Prince Qin Beiyu is the future crown prince and the future king of the Qin Dynasty!
He and the young county lady Shen Ruyi, who is also his cousin, are a match made in heaven. It is estimated that the young county lady will be the future crown princess and also the future queen of the Qin Dynasty!
After sending Shen Ruyi back to the Duke's Mansion, Qin Beiyu also paid a visit to the Wei family's Madam and Shen. Wei Wanshan also came back for lunch at noon today. When he saw Qin Beiyu bringing Shen Ruyi back, he nodded and greeted them.
The old lady of the Wei family and Shen invited Qin Beiyu to sit down. The old lady looked at Shen Ruyi and said, "Ruyi, grandma, your mother and your second brother are discussing the possibility of marriage with that merchant!
Your mother has taken a liking to the girl from the Shang family, and she said that you have taken a liking to her, and your second brother has also agreed, so our family wants to marry that girl from the Shang family!"
Shen Ruyi: "My eldest brother is getting married soon, and my second brother is also getting engaged, so I, the younger sister-in-law, can get two red envelopes!"
Everybody couldn't help laughing and said that she was a money-grubber and hoped that her brothers would marry sisters-in-law and bring them home to give her a gift.
Shen Ruyi yawned, and Qin Beiyu smiled and said, "Ruyi, I'll take you back for lunch, and I've got you a gift. Didn't you buy me a gift too?"
Wei Wanshan couldn't help but say sourly: "The prince is really partial! He only buys things for his cousin sister, but never buys gifts for his cousin brother!"
Shen Ruyi pulled her cousin and turned around to make a face at her second brother: "Hehehe! Second brother, wait for your wife to buy you a gift!"
Qin Beiyu sent Shen Ruyi back to the courtyard and came to the main room of the house where Shen Ruyi lived. The man hugged the little girl in his arms and kissed her fiercely...
After a while, the man tried hard to restrain his desire, which was like a flood and a beast. He took out a small gift box, opened the brocade box, and saw a pair of jade pendants in the shape of little fat fish!
The pair of little fishes were white, fat, and crystal clear, and looked so cute.
Shen Ruyi was stunned: "Oh my! This jade pendant of my cousin is so beautiful, and it's a pair!"
Qin Beiyu smiled and said, "Ruyi, I came across this little jade pendant by chance, and I couldn't help but buy it, thinking of giving it to you!"
The woman looked at the man tenderly: "Cousin, it is normal that the jade pendant should be worn by two people, one for each person, but this jade pendant is too cute, it really doesn't suit you...give it all to me!"
"Okay! I can't wait to give you everyone, do you want it?"
