The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Arriving at the living room, Yan Shu looked towards the red figure in the room.

"Why does the Second Young Master have the leisure to come here today?"

Liu Hanyue looked at Yan Shu and said with a smile, "The Yan family is celebrating and I am here to share in the joy. When will the baby's full moon banquet be held?"

"In the next two days, my parents want to wait until my sister-in-law is out of confinement, and then go back to Banpo Village to hold a full-month banquet for the baby."

Liu Hanyue walked forward and took a look at the baby in the cradle.

"Then I have to go and join in the fun. This kid is very obedient following you."

Yan Shu smiled and looked at the little guy in the cradle.

"The little guy is quite well-behaved. He cried once on the day he was born, but he's been eating and sleeping well lately. He doesn't cry or make a fuss around anyone, which makes his mother feel a lot more relieved."

"Why is he so dark?"

"I have jaundice. It will be gone in a few days."

Liu Hanyue smiled and reached out to tease the little guy. The little guy stretched out his little hand, tightly grasped Liu Hanyue's fingers, and pretended to open his mouth to suck.

"He looks like your elder brother."

Yan Shu gently held the baby's hand and tried to pry open the little guy's fingers, but the little guy clenched his fist and refused to let go, staring at Liu Hanyue with curiosity.

"He seems to like you very much."

Liu Hanyue also felt that she had a good relationship with this little guy, so she pulled back her fingers that were being held by the little guy and said, "Let me hug him."

He stretched out his hands and struck a few poses. Without any experience, he didn't know how to hold the baby properly.

Yan Shu said with a hint of sarcasm: "Stretch out your arms and don't move."

Liu Hanyue did as he was told, and Yan Shu gently placed the little guy on his arms. Liu Hanyue's heart skipped a beat, and when he held the soft little life in his arms, he became inexplicably nervous, fearing that he would drop him.

"So this is what it feels like to hold a baby."

When Jiang Ci arrived, he happened to see the scene in front of him. Yan Wen, who was standing next to Jiang Ci, coughed lightly.

"Little sister, Master Jiang is here."

Jiang Ci, Wen Yutang and Yan Huai were all classmates. When they learned that Wen Yutang had passed the imperial examination, he came to congratulate them personally with gifts. They couldn't afford to turn him away.

Looking at the dazzling scene in front of him, Jiang Ci said coldly: "I never thought that such a casual person like the Second Young Master would also like children."

Liu Hanyue had already noticed Jiang Ci's arrival, and deliberately got close to Yan Shu in front of him. Yan Shu had his back to the door, and was quite surprised when he heard Jiang Ci's voice behind him.

She turned around and met Jiang Ci's eyes as he was standing at the door. Her heart skipped a beat.

She and Jiang Ci had not seen each other for more than a month since the county examination. She thought that since the Yan family was so cold towards him, he would not come to their house on his own initiative.

Liu Hanyue's gaze paused on Yan Shu's face for a moment, then he took a step forward and blocked Yan Shu behind him.

"Master Jiang won the first place in the provincial examination this time. Now, all the dignitaries in Xinyang Prefecture should be crowding into the Jiang Mansion, right? Master Jiang is handsome and knowledgeable, and he is also the champion of this year's provincial examination. There must be many girls in the city who are secretly attracted to him. I heard that many people want to marry their daughters to the Jiang Mansion."

Jiang Ci glanced at Liu Hanyue with a slightly mocking expression: "The second son of the Marquis's Mansion actually likes to listen to these rumors among the neighbors after dinner. Since they are just rumors, they can't be taken seriously."

Liu Hanyue said lightly: "As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. Mr. Jiang is so lucky that others will envy him. Why should he hide it?"

He is the most popular candidate in the city right now and he looks so outstanding, it would be strange if he was not noticed by others.

Yan Wen saw that there was a lot of tension between the two and was afraid that they would start fighting if they continued talking. They were both martial arts masters and it didn't matter if they got hurt, but it would be bad if they damaged the flowers and plants in the yard and the tables, chairs and benches in the house.

"It's not convenient to talk here. We have prepared some refreshments in the front hall. Please follow me to the front yard."

Jiang Ci and Liu Hanyue looked at Yan Shu at the same time, and Yan Shu suddenly felt uneasy.

She reached out and took the child from Liu Hanyue's arms, then turned her gaze to Jiang Ci.

"What's the matter, uncle?"

"Second Young Master, an outsider, can come here anytime. After all, my sister-in-law and I are still a family. Can't we come?"

Yan Shu: Such a strong smell of gunpowder.

Liu Hanyue sneered, "Mr. Jiang, what you said is really ridiculous. How can I be considered an outsider when I come to my fiancée's house? On the contrary, how can Mr. Jiang, as an outsider, arbitrarily break into someone else's backyard?"

Jiang Ci glanced at Yan Wen beside him and said, "I just chatted with Brother Yan for a while. How come he doesn't know about his sister's engagement? Since there is no consent from both families and no engagement letter has been exchanged, who is the fiancée that the second young master is talking about?"

Liu Hanyue looked at Yan Shu with gentle eyes.

"Shu'er, Mr. Jiang's words reminded me that we should mention our engagement to the elders of both families, otherwise outsiders will really think I'm lying."

After saying this, Liu Hanyue looked at Jiang Ci with a smile on her face: "Shu'er and I are in love, so it's only natural for us to get married. Recently, I will be going to your house with a betrothal gift to formally propose marriage. Shu'er will soon become my wife, and we will have our own children in the future. Will Mr. Jiang bless us?"

Jiang Ci stared at Yan Shu expressionlessly: "Sister-in-law, is this true?"

Yan Shu: "We..."

"Sister-in-law, you'd better think carefully before answering. Some words can't be taken back once they're spoken."

Yan Shu took a deep breath. She had finally adapted to life after leaving Jiang Ci and gradually began to let go of this relationship. Since they had both returned to their own tracks, they should not continue to entangle with each other.

"That day, my uncle and I made it very clear that I really like the Second Young Master, and we have already discussed the engagement privately. You also heard that he just promised in person that he would come to propose marriage in a few days."

Seeing that Yan Shu personally agreed to marry her, Liu Hanyue's eyes lit up slightly.

"Mr. Jiang, did you hear that? Mr. Jiang, please don't disturb Shu'er's life in the future."

Jiang Ci ignored Liu Hanyue's warning. His cold phoenix eyes stared straight into Yan Shu's eyes. After a moment's silence, he suddenly chuckled.

He took a step forward, pulled out a mahogany box from his sleeve, opened the box, and took out an exquisitely crafted gold lock from it.

Jiang Ci lowered his eyes and glanced at the baby in Yan Shu's arms, then placed the golden lock in the baby's arms.

"I'm looking forward to seeing my sister-in-law's baby one day."

Leaving behind a confusing remark, Jiang Ci waved his sleeves and turned away.

Yan Shu silently watched the lonely and cold figure, his heart feeling heavy and blocked.

Reason told her that this choice was the right one, but after all, no one could be absolutely rational.

Yan Wen said to Yan Shu, "I'll go and see him off."

Although there is no possibility for Jiang Ci and his younger sister to be together, the bond between Jiang Ci and them as they shared life and death on the road to escape famine remains, and in the hearts of the Yan family, they have long regarded him as a relative.

Watching him leave dejectedly, Yan Wen felt very sorry.
