After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

There were many guests in the General's Mansion today. In order to entertain the guests, Su Xihe mobilized many people to help in the front. The backyard seemed a bit deserted than usual. Shen Ruoyan led Qin'er through the bamboo forest and came to the pavilion on the rockery.

The view from the pavilion is good. Across a lake, you can just see the excitement in front.

"Miss, look where the stage is!" Qin'er raised her hand excitedly and pointed somewhere.

Seeing Qin'er looking so happy, Shen Ruoyan smiled slightly, but felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

She has always regarded Qin'er as her sister. When she was in Shangshu Mansion, Qin'er followed her and did whatever she wanted.

If there are any new gadgets in the capital, they must be the first ones to experience them. However, since marrying into the Lu family, Shen Ruoyan has kept a low profile and let Qin'er suffer along with her. Now she can only hide away even when watching a show. Stay far away.

Qin'er didn't notice the young lady's mood, and her attention was completely attracted by the stage. Shen Ruoyan also noticed the smell. This theater troupe really lived up to its reputation. The green sleeves were swung extremely well. Even from such a distance, you could see the smell in every gesture.

During the intermission of the play, Qin'er rubbed her hands and asked, "Miss, are you cold? Can I go back to the house and get you a hand stove?"

Shen Ruoyan also touched her frozen face. She hadn't watched a show for a long time, and she still had some unfinished thoughts, so she said, "Well, you should also put on some more clothes and bring some candied melon seeds over, and we'll eat and watch at the same time."

"Good!" When talking about food, Qin'er became more excited and skipped away.

Shen Ruoyan was sitting alone in the pavilion when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind her. She thought it was Qin'er leaving and returning. She turned her head with a smile and said, "Why are you back so soon? Have you forgotten..."

Halfway through her words, before she could put away the smile on Shen Ruoyan's lips, she saw that the person coming was the fifth prince whom she had not seen for a long time.

"Sister Ayan."

When Xiao Luokai saw that it was really Shen Ruoyan sitting in the pavilion, he quickened his pace and walked to her in a few steps.

The girl sat on the stone stool, looking up at him, with a pair of ethereal eyes like a deer, bright and clear, and the slightly upward-turned tail of the eyes added a hint of charm to the innocence.

This is the backyard of the General's Mansion. Logically speaking, guests should not come here. That's why Shen Ruoyan took Qin'er to sit in the pavilion and watch the show. Unexpectedly, she bumped into the fifth prince, and she was immediately punished for doing something bad. The embarrassment of bag grabbing.

Xiao Luokai asked: "Why...why are you sitting here alone?"

Compared with the bustle in front of it, it was so deserted here that it felt like entering another world.

After listening to Xiao Luokai's words, Shen Ruoyan quickly replied: "I don't like the excitement."

This opening felt very unconvincing. She and the fifth prince were childhood playmates. The two made a lot of noise in the palace. If they didn't like the excitement, they knew it was an excuse.

Not wanting Xiao Luokai to see that she was not doing well at Lu Yan's place, Shen Ruoyan forced a smile and explained: "Brother Luo Kai, I have been feeling a little unwell these past few days, so I have been resting in the house. I suddenly felt something in my chest just now. I felt bored, so I wanted to come out and get some air."

"Sister Ayan, are you..." Xiao Luokai hesitated, but still asked, "...are you happy?"

Shen Ruoyan was startled. Seeing Xiao Luokai reminded her of the carefree days when she was a child. Compared with her current situation, a layer of moisture filled her eyes for no reason. She opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but couldn't find a single word. Unable to say anything, I could only say a low "hmm".

The five princes all saw Shen Ruoyan's reaction. A sinister look flashed in his narrow phoenix eyes, and he quickly and carefully concealed his inner emotions. He seemed to say to Shen Ruoyan easily: "Sister Ayan, we have a year together." Haven’t seen each other for a long time, right?”

Shen Ruoyan nodded. Since she was kidnapped by gangsters before getting married, her reputation has been completely ruined. She has refused to attend all the banquets, large and small, so naturally she has no chance to meet Xiao Luokai again.

Facing this childhood playmate, Shen Ruoyan suddenly didn't know what to talk about. When she was a child, she had no awareness of the differences between men and women. Because staying in the palace was too boring, she often went crazy with the fifth prince, and even wanted to sleep. Tired of being together.

But somehow, their growth has caused the two to drift apart, and now that they suddenly meet, it feels like everything is different.

Shen Ruoyan thought that now that she was married, it would be inappropriate for them to be alone together, so she made an excuse, stood up and wanted to leave, but because she had been sitting for too long, her feet were weak and she could not stand firmly.

"Be careful, sister Ayan."

The fifth prince stretched out his hand to hug the person, and while pulling him, an angry voice came from behind:

"What are you two doing!"

Shen Ruoyan looked back and saw the person she least expected to see - Lu Yan.

Lu Yanhan walked over with a smile on his face and glanced at the two of them.

Shen Ruoyan stood firm and lowered her head, not wanting to say anything more. Xiao Luokai put his hands behind his back and did not explain.

As everyone knows, this attitude only makes people more misunderstood.

Lu Yan was as cool as ever. Only Shen Ruoyan knew how painful his grip was on her wrist. She couldn't help but want to withdraw her hand, but Lu Yan held her tighter.

"I wonder why His Highness the Fifth is here to meet my wife alone?" Lu Yan emphasized the word "wife" very strongly.

Xiao Luokai smiled slightly, "I drank a few glasses of wine at the banquet today. I wanted to take a walk around your house to dispel the alcohol. I accidentally walked to your backyard and happened to meet Sister Ayan."

Lu Yan also smiled, but this smile was a bit sarcastic, and he said slowly: "That's a coincidence."

"Madam, didn't you say you feel uncomfortable due to the cold wind? Do you want to rest in the room?" Lu Yan took Shen Ruoyan's wrist and pulled her into his arms, "Why are you here again?"

Lu Yan lowered his head slightly when he spoke, and his breath blew on Shen Ruoyan's ears. Shen Ruoyan felt her ears burning. She didn't know whether it was because the lie was seen through, or for some other reason.

Fortunately, Lu Yan didn't really want to know the answer. Before Shen Ruoyan could speak, he said to the fifth prince:

"Farewell."

After saying that, he hugged Shen Ruoyan and left without looking back.

Shen Ruoyan was half-held hostage and found that Lu Yan had actually led her into his bedroom. She had never stepped foot here since they got married.

After closing the door, the man roughly put his hand into Shen Ruoyan's clothes and stroked her smooth, jade-like skin. His usually cold and indifferent brows lightly exaggerated the layer of eagerness.

Shen Ruoyan was very familiar with Lu Yan's expression. She felt something bad in her heart and begged for mercy in a low voice: "Husband, there are many guests in front of me."
