My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.

Shen Lin subconsciously turned on his toes to protect his wife.

But Ye Qinghuan said, "Mother, how dare your daughter-in-law act so arrogantly in front of you? We are just family members and we are just talking normally. Why are you so angry?"

"You just scolded Ronger!"

"As a sister-in-law, shouldn't I urge my brothers to correct their mistakes?"

Ye Qinghuan's voice was neither too loud nor too low, just loud enough for everyone present to hear.

The second and third Shens both lowered their heads.

That’s right, they were also scolded by their eldest sister-in-law. They were scolded from childhood to adulthood! Now they are old, and they are still scolded!

Old Madam Shen was speechless and her chest heaved with anger.

"Mother, my second sister-in-law is very independent and responsible. The Shen family has hope in the future. You should be happy!" Shen Rong smiled.

Madam Shen glanced at her youngest son, and finally swallowed her anger. She snorted, "You can't even have a child, and you still count on her?"

"Jinxiu can give birth, the same." Shen Lin looked at Su Jinxiu.

Su Jinxiu was forced to intervene in this small battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder, and teased: "General, did you bring back a beautiful woman when you went to the border this time?"

"No."

Shen Lin lifted his robe and sat down, then motioned for Ye Qinghuan to sit down as well.

Su Jinxiu smiled: "Aunt, the general and brother Rong are coming home together today. Should we ask the kitchen to prepare a banquet to welcome them?"

"Jinxiu's words make sense. Ye, you go and make the arrangements." Old Madam Shen's face was grim.

Ye Qinghuan didn't want to stay in this kind of situation for long, so he got up and went to the kitchen.

Shen Lin frowned in displeasure.

Shen Rong said: "I heard that second brother has made another military achievement. Under the leadership of second brother, the Shen family army is famous. Father will also be pleased if he is still alive. Second brother, you have worked hard these years."

"It should be." Shen Lin's eyes moved down to Shen Rong's legs, "How is your leg healing?"

"Not much progress. I still can't stand up." Shen Rong lowered his eyes dejectedly.

Old Madam Shen was very distressed and scolded Shen Lin: "Say something else."

"Mother, it's okay. It's a fact that my legs are disabled. Besides, you can't blame my second brother for what happened back then..."

He brought up the old matter again, still using a sad tone.

Old Madam Shen scolded Shen Lin again: "It's all your fault! If you had taken Rong'er out, nothing would have happened, and it wouldn't have turned out like this. A civil official cannot serve in the court, and a military official cannot lead troops. You have ruined Rong'er's life!"

Everyone fell silent instantly, watching anxiously, not daring to interrupt.

Even Yu and Qin, who usually loved to chatter, slowed down their breathing and pretended to be invisible.

The living room, warmed by silver-bone charcoal, was so polite that it was frozen by ice and snow.

Every time Shen Lin took a breath, he felt a piercing pain in his heart and lungs.

His ten fingers tightened unconsciously and his thin lips pursed tightly. But he said nothing.

Finally, it was Shen Rong who said, "Mother, I've already said that second brother can't be blamed for what happened back then. Besides, it's been five years, please don't mention it again. Otherwise, I'll go back to the North and never come back."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Old Madam Shen was anxious and quickly comforted her son, "You've been away from home for five years, and mother has dreamed of seeing you. Now that you're back, don't go back."

"Mother, I still need to get my leg treated. I don't want to live like this for the rest of my life." Shen Rong paused, "A son of the Shen family shouldn't be confined to a wheelchair."

Old Madam Shen had already given up on treatment, but she couldn't bear to upset her youngest son, so she said kindly, "We can invite a doctor to Beijing. Our family has the financial resources to do so now."

"Let's talk about it later!" Shen Rong's answer was obviously perfunctory.

Old Madam Shen was even more anxious.

She really doesn't want to be separated from her young son for even a day!

"Rong'er, you are old enough to get married. Why not settle down as soon as possible? Your mother will feel more at ease when you have someone who understands you." said Old Lady Shen.

Shen Rong hesitated: "Who would marry me if I look like this?"

"Brother Rong, you worry too much. Mother intends to marry into the *** family and has already been making plans. Now that brother Rong is back, let's make the arrangements!" Shen Lin said.

Madam Shen looked up in surprise: "You know? Are you willing?"

"Mother should ask Brother Rong, not me. As long as Brother Rong likes it, I will go to the palace to ask for permission tomorrow." Shen Lin said.

After hearing this, Yu and others found it unbelievable.

Princess Jiahe is the only legitimate grandson of the emperor. If she is held in her hands, she may fly away, and if she is held in her mouth, she may melt. Even if the prince proposes marriage, the emperor may not agree.

The old lady actually wanted Shen Rong to marry Princess Jiahe? She was daydreaming, right?

"Princess Jiahe is not an ordinary woman. Let me get in touch with her. If she is interested, I will trouble you, brother." Shen Rong sighed humbly, looking extremely lonely with his eyes drooping.

"Then meet first." Old Madam Shen originally wanted to let Shen Lin directly exchange his military merits for the imperial decree of marriage, but now that Shen Rong said he wanted to meet first, she lost confidence.

Since the news that Shen Rong was looking for a husband was released, there were many nobles in the capital who interacted with her. But she looked around and found that none of them was as good as Ye Qinghuan.

So, it can only be Princess Jiahe.

Although the county princess is young and naive, she has a noble status and can surpass Ye Qinghuan as soon as she enters the house.

"Mother, please hurry up and make the arrangements. If the marriage can be settled before the New Year, I can help you with the arrangements in Beijing," Shen Lin said.

Madam Shen immediately discussed with Yu and Qin: "Should we host a banquet at home to invite her to come and play? Or is it better to go to her house..."

The three sisters-in-law discussed the matter seriously.

Shen Rong sat quietly in the wheelchair, like a snow lotus isolated from the world.

The second and third Shens both lowered their heads and drank tea without saying a word.

The four men just sat there with nothing to say to each other, and the scene was extremely awkward.

Su Jinxiu came to Shen Lin and asked softly, "Brother Lin, why are you injured again?"

"This is how it is at the border. I'm used to it." Shen Lin pulled up his sleeves to cover the scar on the back of his hand.

Su Jinxiu was distressed: "When will the war end? Alas, the border is cold and bitter, and there are wars from time to time. When will the general return to the court and enjoy peace in Shengjing?"

"Wait until the Shen family army has successors." Shen Lin said.

"Cousin, are you afraid that your second brother will go to see Miss Zhou again?" Shen Rong teased.

"Third brother, please stop laughing at me." Su Jinxiu twisted her handkerchief embarrassedly.

Use women's shyness to resolve the embarrassment between men.

Shen Lin certainly knew what she meant. His eyes softened and he said, "Nian Nian was seriously ill this time, so I went back. From now on, I will not let her enter Beijing again."

"It's good that Brother Lin has someone who understands him at the border..." Su Jinxiu immediately agreed.

Although it is fake, it makes the scene look beautiful.

Shen Rong smiled and said, "Second brother is so lucky. He has a decisive sister-in-law who runs the household, and a sweet cousin who is so talkative. I heard that second brother has a concubine. Why don't you see her?"

"Aunt Bai committed a crime and was demoted to a servant girl and sent to the farm." Su Jinxiu spoke first, and then waited nervously for Shen Rong to speak.

Shen Rong only said four words lightly: "So that's it."

Su Jinxiu was secretly surprised: Don’t care about Bai Zhi anymore?
