Duke Jing's younger sister

Shen Beiqi paused in drinking tea, but Xiao Wencong stood up first after hearing what was said, walked to the window and looked out.

The streets are brightly lit and bustling with people.

The young man in red seemed to be unhappy as he said something to the pretty girl who was a head shorter than him. He even reached out his hand, grabbed the girl's wrist and walked away.

"From the looks of it, did they have a fight?"

Xiao Wencong glanced at Luo Jue meaningfully and said jokingly, "The adopted sister that Lord Shen holds in his palm is probably now being missed by your brother."

Luo Jue couldn't laugh, and couldn't help feeling extremely upset for his silly brother. Why did this silly boy have to fall in love with Miss Shen San when there were so many people he could fall in love with?

He glanced secretly at Shen Beiqi, who was sitting in front of the desk and pretending to be calm.

This guy just hasn't gotten his head yet. If he does, how can his brainless brother win over him?!

Shen Beiqi hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't help himself and stood up.

Lanterns are floating and the red light is swaying.

In the sky, fireworks rose and fell.

He spotted her figure in the bustling crowd at a glance.

She was bathed in the dim light, gentle and beautiful. His eyes slid down to the hand that was holding her fair wrist, and his dark pupils suddenly shrank.

"Luo Cheng, what are you doing?" Shen Li struggled to break free from Luo Cheng's hand and stroked her wrist gently, "You hurt me!"

"Don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to, and don't care about what you shouldn't care about!" Luo Yan said seriously, "Why are you so stubborn? Do you really have to hang yourself on a tree?"

Shen Li was so angry that she almost laughed.

Just now, two passers-by were discussing the matter between Shen Beiqi and Linlang. Before she could even hear a few words, he dragged her over here and gave her a lecture.

Seeing Luo Cheng's sullen face, she gave up the idea of ​​having a good talk with him.

She didn't want to have a quarrel with him in the street.

"Why are you so angry? If they want to talk, they are so close to me. Do you want me to cover my ears?"

She said in a gentle tone, "You said I was depressed today, but I think you are the one who is worried, right?"

Shen Zhiyan and Xiao Wenyuan came side by side, pulled Shen Li to their side, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Luo Cheng seemed angry. Did you have a fight?"

Shen Li shook her head and said nothing. She also wanted to know why Luo Cheng was so abnormal today.

"Is Ziyuan not back yet?" she asked Baozhu, who shook her head and said, "Not yet."

Shen Li felt something was wrong and told Baozhu, "Go back and look for her. Ask the waiter if anyone has seen her."

"Okay." Baozhu received the instructions and left in a hurry.

Luo Cheng calmed himself down and realized that he had lost his composure. He had never expected that he would be so angry when he saw that she was so concerned about Shen Beiqi's affairs.

Originally, he thought that Shen Li's crush was the coward from the Gu family.

When he learned that her marriage was called off, he even felt a little relieved.

He always thought that the intense and inexplicable joy in his heart was his happiness for her as a friend, happiness that she didn't have to marry into the Gu family and marry that Gu Nanxiao.

So what now?

The person she likes is Shen Beiqi, the man that even she admires and feels inferior to. What if the person she wants to marry is him?

Would he be happy and pleased for her?

Obviously, he won't!

Luo Cheng walked a few steps closer to her and asked, "What exactly did you want to tell me just now?"

He always felt that he had missed something very important.

He didn't like this feeling of loss, and he had to get things clear tonight.

Shen Li looked around helplessly. This was really not a suitable place for conversation.

"I do have something I want to tell you. Let's wait some other time, some other time in a quiet place..."

Luo Cheng immediately realized that it was not convenient to talk here, and immediately interrupted her, "No, today!"

He grabbed her wrist, took her by the hand and ran towards the outside of Xing'anfang.

"Luo Yan——"

Xiao Wenyuan looked at the backs of the two people running away and scratched his head in confusion, "What happened to them?"

Shen Zhiyan seemed to be thinking about something. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly realized something and her eyes suddenly became bright.

Between the two of them, it can't be...

Since it concerns a woman's reputation, even though Shen Zhiyan has already noticed something, she didn't say much.

Baozhu, who had gone to look for Ziyuan, came back and said in a panic, "Miss, the maid sweeping the backyard of Yalexuan said that she saw a few people taking Ziyuan away."

Shen Zhiyan was surprised, "What?"

At the window on the second floor, Xiao Wencong patted Luo Jue on the shoulder and said, "It seems that your brother will have good things soon."

Luo Jue laughed twice and didn't say anything.

The colorful fireworks gradually died down, and the night sky returned to silence. A young man in a dark green brocade robe stood by the window, not moving for a long time.

The red light coming into the room lengthened his shadow on the ground. After a while, he loosened his clenched hands and his eyes grew colder.

Shen Li was pulled by Luo Cheng, and the two walked through the crowded night market.

Passersby glanced at them from time to time. The young man was bright and handsome, with a red hairband fluttering in the wind behind his head. He held the wrist of the gentle girl behind him tightly, and they looked like a perfect couple.

His steps were light and firm, as if he wanted to take her away from this noisy world and find their own pure land.

Finally, he stopped in front of a willow tree by the Jiangyang Lake.

Although there were people boating in the lake, it was much quieter than in Xing'anfang. The only sounds were the rustling of willows in the evening breeze and the sound of the pleasure boats passing through the lake and the rippling of the water.

Shen Li held onto the tree trunk and gasped. She had to admire Luo Cheng. After running for so long, her heart was about to jump out of her chest, but what about him?

Without making a sound or breathing, it was as if he had flown over here without even touching the ground!

Luo Cheng waited quietly, giving her time to catch her breath. When she felt better, he asked, "Can we talk here?"

"You..." Shen Li was a little helpless. It wasn't that she didn't want to say it, but she really didn't know how to say it.

"Actually, I haven't thought about it yet. I'm afraid if I tell you, it will hurt you."

Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Just tell me, I hate people who hesitate the most. Throw a knife or poison at me and try it out. Only then will you know if you can hurt me!"

From the pleasure boat in Jiangyang Lake, there were bursts of stringed instruments and bamboo music, and ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, occasionally hitting the moss-covered stone walls on the shore.

Now that things have come to this, it seems like she has no choice but to say something. But what should she say? Should she say that she promised Yang that she would get married within a month?

So, could you please be so kind as to marry me?

Luo Cheng is not a bad person, he is very good. If she really wants to marry him, she will feel that she is marrying above her station.

But she was no longer virgin after all, and she didn't know whether he would mind, and she never thought of hiding it from him.

After thinking for a while, she slowly said, "Actually, I just want to ask you if you have any plans to get married recently."

"You want to marry me?" Luo Yan's heart was filled with ecstasy, and he couldn't wait to ask back.

Shen Li bit her lower lip and stammered, "I want to ask you to do me a favor."

"What's the deal?"

"Can you help...marry me?"

Luo Cheng was puzzled, "What do you mean... help marry you?"
