After a glass of wine, Mr. Shen quickly looked away from the fact that his daughter was about to get married, and then said: "But you can marry Xiaoyan, and you are very relieved as a father. After you get married, you have to take care of your family." The young lady has a bad temper, so don’t let Xiaoyan spoil you too much.”

When he talked about this, Mr. Shen remembered what happened last time at Zuiyue Tower, and couldn't help but worry that his daughter had led such a good child like Lu Yan astray.

"Dad, you are wrong. How can you not let your son-in-law pamper your daughter?" Shen Ruochuan asked dissatisfied, "Ayan, after you get married, you still have to be yourself, just like in our own home, you want to do whatever you want. Just do whatever you want, our Ayan is the cutest girl in the world. If Xiaoyan dares to bully you, just come and tell brother, and he will definitely help you avenge him!"

Shen Ruoyan really wants to ask, if you can't compare to others in terms of force and intelligence, how can you avenge yourself?

But thinking about his brother's intentions, he smiled and didn't say anything.

As soon as the topic came to Lu Yan, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became lively. Mr. Shen once again told the story of Lu Yan winning six yuan in a row, and asked about his son's homework.

While Shen Ruochuan was picking fish bones for his wife, he said casually: "Dad, when A-yan gets married, Xiaoyan will be half of your son. Don't always focus on me, and pay more attention to me." Take care of Xiaoyan."

Master Shen was angered by his son's indifferent attitude. He shook his beard and said, "You still have the nerve to mention Xiaoyan. If you are half as good as him, your father will never say anything about you again."

"Dad, what you said is wrong. Xiaoyan won six yuan in a row. If I were half as good as him, I would still have three yuan. By then, you won't be allowed to hang up lanterns, set off firecrackers, and publicize in the streets that I am Your son, how could you not say anything?" Shen Ruochuan continued to talk.

Seeing that his father looked wrong, Shen Ruochuan immediately added, "But you will have two sons soon. On average, that is only three yuan. Hehe, how honorable!"

Listening to the family's endless praise of Lu Yan, Shen Ruoyan could only lower her head to eat. She really wanted to tell them that she actually didn't want to marry Lu Yan at all, but in order not to ruin the atmosphere, she could only hold back.

But at the end of the conversation, whoever took the lead choked up and said softly: "After A-yan gets married, I wonder if next year we will be able to sit together and have a reunion dinner like today."

One sentence made everyone's eyes turn red.

After a woman gets married, she becomes someone else's daughter-in-law. This is a fact that cannot be changed no matter how reluctant she is.

Shen Ruochuan, a grown man, even held his sister's hand and cried until she had snot and tears, reluctant to part with each mouthful.

After dinner, Mr. Shen and his wife could not stay up all night, so they went back to the house to rest early. Liu Nianyun helped her drunk husband to go to his house, and Shen Ruoyan returned to her small yard alone.

Qin'er and a group of maids gathered together to watch the New Year's Eve. The laughter of the little girls floated in through the courtyard wall. From time to time, there were a few crackles of firecrackers in the distance. Shen Ruoyan sat alone by the window, listening to the excitement in her ears. , inexplicably reminded of the previous life.

It was the first Spring Festival after marrying Lu Yan. At that time, Lu Yan became an official. Su Xihe took the opportunity of the festival to throw a grand banquet in the mansion and invited many dignitaries from the capital.

"Miss, how about you just wear this red skirt today?" Qin'er held up the carefully selected clothes and asked Shen Ruoyan, "You have fair skin and look most beautiful in red. I'll give you another one." The flowing cloud bun will surely overwhelm the whole audience when the time comes!"

Shen Ruoyan put down the book in her hand, glanced at the clothes in Qin'er's hand, and said, "No need to prepare. I will tell you later that I am not feeling well and cannot attend today's banquet."

Who knows that there are two ladies in the general's residence. Su Xihe has been waiting for guests in the front hall early today. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for her to go out at this time? She might as well be sensible and say she is sick and not go, so as to save herself some dignity.

Hearing Shen Ruoyan's words, Qin'er's face quickly fell, "Miss, today is the Chinese New Year. I heard that the mansion has invited the most famous theater troupe to sing, don't you want to go and have a fun time?"

Of course Qin'er understands the young lady's concerns, but the young lady is young and beautiful, why not fight for herself?Keeping himself locked up in this courtyard, I'm afraid my uncle will really be snatched away by Su Xihe.

"It's okay, can't you hear it here?" Shen Ruoyan comforted: "You can go to the kitchen later and ask for some ingredients. Today we will have hot pot."

When she heard that she was going to eat hot pot, Qin'er's mood became brighter again. While she was sorting out the clothes she had taken out, she was talking about what would be the best thing to put in the hot pot.

Shen Ruoyan picked up the book and chatted with Qin'er over and over again, looking very relaxed, as if the excitement outside had nothing to do with her.

At this time, a respectful voice came from outside the door: "Second Madam, sir, are you ready?"

Recognizing that this was the boy who was following Lu Yan, Shen Ruoyan immediately put down her book and lay down on the couch.

When Qin'er opened the door and brought the boy in, he saw the woman leaning on the sofa, holding her forehead with one hand, and said delicately: "Please go back and tell the Lord, I suddenly feel unwell today. I’m afraid I won’t be able to attend the banquet.”

Shen Ruoyan couldn't understand that Lu Yan clearly didn't want to see her, but he still had to ask her to come over every time there was a banquet. Couldn't they have a tacit understanding and be a nominal couple without disturbing each other?

The young man was a little embarrassed after hearing this. The master specially sent him to ask. It can be seen that he must really hope that the second lady will attend, but he did not dare to force Shen Ruoyan, so he could only ask unwillingly: "Why didn't the second lady be fine yesterday?" Did you suddenly fall ill today?"

"It's just a headache. This is an old problem of mine. When the cold wind blows in winter, my head will throb and hurt, and I can't lift my spirits at all." When Shen Ruoyan spoke, she frowned slightly, and her aura eyes were stained. A sad look.

Anyone who saw this pitiful look could not help but feel pity. The young man could only say "please have a good rest, Madam" and left.

The small courtyard became quiet again, and Shen Ruoyan was too lazy to move. She simply leaned on the soft couch and read a book, peeling orange segments and putting them in her mouth, enjoying herself.

However, she found that Qin'er stretched her neck to look out several times. Shen Ruoyan finally couldn't bear to let the little girl hide here with her. She thought that there was a rockery in the backyard and she could sit in the pavilion on it and watch without seeing outsiders. When he arrived at the stage, he said to Qin'er, "How about we go out for a walk?"

Qin'er's eyes immediately lit up after hearing this, "Okay! Okay!"
