From the perspective of skill, this person does not seem to be trapped in the inner house for many years and neglected to practice martial arts.

But right now, although Yuan Lingxiu was only demonstrating the moves for children, the feeling of flowing clouds and flowing water can no longer be described as a little familiar with martial arts.

Thinking of this, he felt that the sword energy of the people in the courtyard became fierce in vain, and the leaves of the trees in the courtyard were falling down one after another due to the wind. Shen Jieran saw the slender man in white, splitting those fallen leaves, in the setting sun. In the afterglow... the point of the sword pointed directly at his throat, and barely stopped when it was about to touch his skin.

Not a very good experience for someone who just had his head chopped off once.But Shen Jieran still stood there motionless, looking at Yuan Lingxiu calmly.

Ever since he met Shangguan Qingmu, Shen Jieran hadn't looked at anyone else on purpose.He had never looked at the person in front of him carefully before, even his wife only treated him as an ordinary man.

Yuan Lingxiu's appearance is not ugly.White face, red lips, very handsome face, slightly raised willow eyebrows, there is a heroic spirit in the brows.He has a slender figure, and he is holding the sword at this time, naturally revealing his slender waist after the belt is tightened...

Shen Jieran had to watch it again, but Yuan Lingxiu had already reacted.

"Shen... Little Marquis, why did you come here suddenly..." He put away his sword, looking a little embarrassed.

"I came to my village to have a look, how can I call it a visit?"

"No, what I mean is...you didn't ask anyone to pass it on. I almost hurt you just now, I'm really sorry..."

Shen Jieran went straight to the yard, pointed to the child in the yard and asked, "Whose child is this?"

"This is my younger brother, Yuan Lingbao."

Yuan Lingxiu felt cramped not because he almost hurt Shen Jieran, but because Yuan Lingbao was here right now, and he happened to be bumped into by the other party.

After all, with his current status in the Shen family and his own weight in Shen Jieran's heart, it is not easy to come here to hide in peace. It seems that he does not have the authority to take his younger brother over to play.

But since he was hit straight, he had no choice but to accept his fate, Yuan Lingxiu pulled Yuan Lingbao forward,

"Lingbao, send your greetings to the young master."

Yuan Lingbao came back to his senses, and greeted Shen Jieran generously.

Shen Jieran reached out and rubbed the child's bun face, and said with a smile, "This child is not afraid of life."

Yuan Lingbao raised his head and smiled at Shen Jieran, showing a few small teeth the size of sesame seeds.

Yuan Lingxiu lowered his eyes and reached out to straighten Lingbao's messy hair, without making a sound.

"But isn't Lingxiu sick? Is it okay to dance sword like this?"

Yuan Lingxiu's hand stopped. He didn't know if it was Shen Jieran's illusion. He felt that Yuan Lingxiu buried his head lower.He was already half a head taller than him, and from this angle, every long eyelash of Yuan Lingxiu could be clearly seen.

At this time, the servant who heard the movement also came over.They are the servant next to Yuan Lingxiu and the maid sent by Mrs. Shen to serve him.

Shen Jieran did know that rather than serving, it would be more appropriate to say monitoring.

The two of them were startled when they saw Shen Jieran, and hurried over to greet him.

They came to remind Yuan Lingxiu to send Yuan Lingbao back because it was getting late.

"Since it's getting late, Lingbao, you should go back first, so that mother won't worry." Yuan Lingxiu squatted down to straighten Yuan Lingbao's coat, and said in a low voice, "Remember not to tell others where you went to play today."

"I know, brother." Yuan Lingbao's voice was crisp, and as he spoke, he kissed Yuan Lingxiu on the face, and then went to say goodbye to Shen Jieran.

Yuan Lingxiu patted the child's head and ordered someone to send him out.Outside there were two servants of Yuan Lingbao who brought him back to Yuan Mansion.But Yuan Lingxiu was worried, and asked his personal servant Yuan Xin to send Yuan Lingbao home in person.

On the other side, Dong Xue, the maid, went to make tea for Shen Jieran, and there were only the two of them left in the yard for a while.

Shen Jieran saw it interestingly, and said, "Is that kid your own brother? He looks more favored than you..."

As soon as Shen Jieran said that, he began to regret it.His head is still in a state of chaos, otherwise, with his style, he would never have said it so bluntly.

Fortunately, Yuan Lingxiu didn't mind.

On the contrary, he was relieved because Shen Jieran didn't pursue him for bringing someone to the other courtyard privately, and he couldn't help but relax a lot in his expression and tone, so he explained to him: "Lingbao is the youngest son of my father, and since I... entered The Shen family, my mother has also been sealed as a concubine..."

The implication is that although Yuan Shicheng has many sons, but he has a son in old age and is half a legitimate son, so he naturally likes it very much.

Having said that, the two of them were silent, and they were relatively speechless for a while.

"You were sweating just now, the yard is cold now, let's go inside." Shen Jieran said, and dragged Yuan Lingxiu into the room in the middle of the yard.As soon as they sat down, Dong Xue had already entered with a teapot and cups.

"Young Master, rest here for a while, I'll go to the back room and change my clothes."

Watching Yuan Lingxiu get up and enter the room inside, Shen Jieran felt extremely embarrassed, and Yuan Lingxiu probably thought so too.

Obviously the maid is still a maid I am familiar with, and the manor is also the manor under my name, why does it feel like I have come to visit suddenly now?

Dongxue is a calm, quiet and diligent girl. Seeing that her young master was silent, she just served tea in silence, and then stood aside silently.

Shen Jieran picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly. Just as he was about to speak, another person hurried in. It was another maid sent by his mother named □□Feng.

"Chunfeng met the second young master."

Chunfeng is much more cheerful than Dongxue, and looks brighter, and always has a smiling face, which makes people involuntarily have a good impression.

"Chunfeng, get up." Shen Jieran put down his teacup and said with a smile, "You two are following the young lady, are you doing well here?"

After the spring breeze came up, they peeked at Shen Jieran, neither of them knew what the young master meant by asking, so they could only reply, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Then how can you take care of the young lady carefully?"

"Responding to the second young master, the young lady doesn't like us to be close on weekdays, and she never asks us to do other jobs except serving tea and water for three meals a day." It was still Chunfeng who replied, she paused, and then Added a sentence: "We are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard casually."

Shen Jieran nodded, noncommittal, "I'll stay here for dinner tonight, you two go down and get ready."

"Yes."

As soon as the two girls over there left, Shen Lingxiu came out.

He changed into light blue home clothes, and re-tied his hair.

The appearance has not changed, but the temperament is not quite the same as before.As for the difference, Shen Jieran couldn't tell, probably because he looked more handsome and detached.

"Young Lord, may I take the liberty to ask, why did you come here suddenly? Is there something wrong?"

After all, he didn't know what happened before he was reborn, which caused Yuan Lingxiu to live in this other courtyard. Shen Jieran didn't dare to talk nonsense, he took a sip of tea casually, "Why did Ah Xiu call me Young Lord? Why do you claim to be subordinate in front of me?"

Yuan Lingxiu obviously didn't understand why Shen Jieran asked this suddenly. He looked at Shen Jieran with doubts in his eyes, but was dragged to sit on the chair next to him.

"Ah Xiu and I don't have to be reserved, just sit down and talk."

Yuan Lingxiu lowered his eyebrows, and the bangs on his forehead fell down gently, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.Others sat down, but still did not speak.

"Ashiu hasn't answered my question yet?"

"...I don't know how to address Young Master, and I don't know how to call myself." Yuan Lingxiu's voice was so soft that people couldn't hear his current emotions.

Shen Jieran felt even more embarrassed.

It's true, although Yuan Lingxiu said that the marriage was bestowed by the former emperor and that he was the wife of the matchmaker, but apart from what he said to him on the wedding night, the two of them have never had any interaction.

When he was not named General Wude in his last life, Yuan Lingxiu called him Young Master, and later called him General, but he never paid attention to how Yuan Lingxiu called himself.As for the strange relationship between the two of them before, it is obviously not appropriate for Yuan Lingxiu to call him Husband or Husband.

"I am your husband, you are my wife..." Shen Jieran swore that he didn't know why he said such a thing, but once he said it, he began to long to see Yuan Lingxiu's reaction again, So he bit the bullet and continued to ask:

"Ah Xiu, tell me, how should you call me?

I saw Yuan Lingxiu raised his head and looked at himself in surprise. Although his eyes were only slightly widened and his face was still expressionless, Shen Jieran felt that his strange taste had been satisfied.

"Young Master, I'm stupid, I don't understand what you mean."

"Jieran, you can call me Jieran. As for Axiu, I'll call you Axiu first."

Yuan Lingxiu's expression finally became more colorful.

Shen Jieran was staring at him intently, and naturally noticed the change.The most interesting thing is those eyes, as if they can talk, but at this moment he can feel the mixed taste in the eyes of the other party?

Just staring at him like this, Shen Jieran felt more and more strange in a trance - from the first time he saw Yuan Lingxiu, he felt that something was wrong.And this feeling of something wrong is getting stronger and stronger.

However, he didn't feel disgusted at all, but was excited
