Shen Mingjue walked back to the general's mansion with one foot deep and one foot shallow. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shen Mingyuan and Lou Xu staring at him with dark faces.

Shen Mingjue: “…” Why do I feel like I was caught by my parents when I returned home in the middle of the night?

Shen Mingyuan obviously wanted to say something to him, but was stopped by Lou Xu.

Lou Xu: "You must be hungry. Your brother personally cooked some home-cooked food for you. It's still hot. Go and try it."

Shen Mingjue nodded hurriedly and walked away quickly.

Shen Mingyuan was unhappy, "Why are you stopping me? I won't eat him!" He said this, but his face was obviously very bad, especially after hearing the servants say that the second young master had left with that "beggar".

He and Lou Xu sneaked to the stove and found half a page of paper that was not burned cleanly. On it was written the word "contract". They guessed something was wrong. Just as Lou Xu thought, Gu Changfeng and Wen Heng did have their own reasons for getting married, but it was also true that Shen Mingjue was wronged. So the two of them planned to pretend not to see it and not know about it. Anyway, Shen Mingjue burned the letter, which meant pretending not to see it.

But why chase after him?

Shen Mingyuan was puzzled. If Shen Mingjue knew that Gu Changfeng was devoted to him and married Wen Heng because of his own difficulties, he would immediately forgive him and continue to love each other as a family, then Shen Mingyuan would have to kill his own brother for the sake of justice.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the engagement. The emperor has granted the marriage, and anyone who disobeys the imperial decree will be put to death. If Gu Changfeng dares to break off the engagement, he can consider the marriage between the two families.

I’m afraid Gu Changfeng doesn’t have the courage to do that.

Lou Xu stared at him, but of course he couldn't say anything, "You look like you want to eat someone," so he could only kiss him on the mouth.

Shen Mingyuan took a step back, his face flushed, "What are you doing?"

"Yuanyuan, I think you should just eat me and stop worrying about your brother."

Facing his lover's blatant hint, Shen Mingyuan knew that they had few opportunities to be intimate during this period, and his body was eager to lean on him, but he was still stubborn, "Why don't I care? I only have this one brother!"

Lou Xu tilted his head: "Brother?"

"Brother Yuanyuan."

This time Shen Mingyuan didn't want to care about Shen Mingjue's mess anymore: "A Xu, don't be like this..."

"Don't worry." Lou Xu approached him and put his arm around his waist. "It's getting late. Ah Xu, please help Brother Yuanyuan to rest."

Shen Mingyuan half-heartedly agreed and let Lou Xu take him back to the house.

On the other side, Shen Mingjue finished his meal and returned to his room with a worried look on his face. He sat on the edge of the bed and recalled what Gu Changfeng had said to him when they were on the grassland.

"Are you willing to marry me? Even if only the grassland knows."

At that time, Gu Changfeng had already decided to ask for the marriage of Minister Wen when he returned to Beijing.

Or even earlier, before they were in love, before the cold war, when they were in school, before I confessed my feelings and was rejected, before I met him...

Shen Mingjue shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He originally thought that it was because he became dumb that Gu Changfeng abandoned him like everyone else, so Gu Changfeng could not be forgiven and he would not be soft-hearted anymore, but... the truth was not like that, although he was not particularly clear about it, he only knew one thing, that is, Gu Changfeng and Wen Heng were not sincere.

He grew up in a music troupe, so he had a joking attitude towards the "a lifetime together" scenes in operas. Therefore, he did not take the engagement seriously. Even though Shen Mingyuan felt that Gu Changfeng and Wen Heng were still husband and wife, which was unacceptable and incomprehensible, his solid defense had already begun to crumble.

How can this be good?

Couldn't he be cruel to Gu Changfeng?

Thinking of this, Shen Mingjue lowered his head and saw that half of Gu Changfeng's sleeve was torn off, with some dried blood on it. His heart was suddenly in turmoil.
