[Rebirth] After Ten Years of Marriage, Fall in Love Again

Lingxiu nodded.He didn't tell Shen Jieran that it might be due to his actual age. In fact, he really wanted a child that belonged to the two of them and was raised by them.

After the winter, Yuan Lingxiu became more lazy, which may have something to do with his cold body.Shen Jieran couldn't bear to torment him, so after breakfast, he went to the Ministry of War to find Chang Jize.

Yuan Lingxiu went into the study to read as usual.

Now they don't often go to the study in the West Wing except to get books, and both of them are using Shen Jieran's big study.

Earth dragons grew up in the room early in the morning, and braziers were placed in the four corners of the room, covered with soft and thick animal skins, and on the small table were fresh fruits, dried fruits, tea and hand stoves that were rare this season... All of these It was Shen Jieran who asked for it to be arranged every day.

Just after sitting still for less than half an hour, Yuan Xin came in and said, "Young Master, the Second Miss, the Third Miss, and some other wives have come and said they want to see you."

Yuan Lingxiu felt a little headache after hearing this.

Every time Shen Jieran walked forward, someone would definitely come after him.He probably also knows who is the one who is willing to gossip in this yard or who is the eyeliner set up by others, but he has been hiding it all the time and has not had time to investigate it.

The study was obviously not a place to receive guests, so Yuan Lingxiu asked Yuan Xin to invite them all to the main hall first.

The main hall was not as warm as the study room, which was why Yuan Lingxiu didn't want to move his place.

The people who came were Shen Jieran's two concubine sisters, Shen Jieyi's two concubines, Zhang and Chen, and Mrs. Shen's sister-in-law, who was Mrs. Wei, the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Shen's brother.

Old Shen Houye also had many brothers in his generation, and there were two brothers from his same mother alone.One of them is also married to a man, who is currently guarding the border of the Western Regions, and rarely comes back during the holidays.The other is Shen Jieran's third uncle, who is also the husband of Mrs. Wei.

In her previous life, Yuan Lingxiu had seen this Mrs. Wei quite often. She was known to be arrogant and unreasonable, and she was very troublesome. Whatever happened, even Mrs. Shen couldn't do anything about her.

I just don't know how she found him here?

Yuan Lingxiu sat in the main seat of the main hall after meeting with everyone.

He was fine in front of Shen Jieran, but in front of others, his calm, indifferent and unsmiling demeanor was naturally revealed, which made a few fierce female relatives think about retreating.

Yuan Lingxiu was the first to speak: "Third aunt, two younger sisters, and two sisters-in-law, I don't know what it means to come to me together today?"

Mrs. Wei has always walked sideways in Shen's residence. It's not because of her high status, but because as a sister-in-law, the head of the Shen family's mistress doesn't bother to talk to her, and she herself doesn't have the cultivation and quality of Mrs. Shen. No one dared to mess with her, but she became more and more lawless these years.She didn't care so much, she pointed at Mrs. Zhang and asked, "Do you know who she is?"

She said this as if she was going to start a fight, Yuan Lingxiu almost spit out a sip of tea.

Shen Jieran's third aunt in her previous life also provoked him a lot.At that time, he was just a frail scholar who knew how to do three-legged cat kung fu and had little knowledge. Back then, he felt a little afraid of her, so why does he look like a street shrew now?

Mrs. Zhang had been haggard and bewildered since she entered the room, and when she heard Wei's question, she raised her head and looked at Yuan Lingxiu very embarrassedly.

The Wei family didn't wait for Yuan Lingxiu to answer, and said directly: "This is my niece! I have pity on my daughter, the eldest daughter-in-law can't tolerate her, and now she even wants to give away her child. This is bullying our Wei family." Is there no one else! Huh?"

Yuan Lingxiu understood what she meant.

Looking around, Mrs. Zhang's face has changed from haggard to pale and bloodless, and Mrs. Chen next to her also has a sad expression on her face - although she gave birth to a daughter, her family background and status are similar to Mrs. Zhang's. , the two had already joined hands to resist the Liu family.On the other hand, Shen Jieran's two concubine sisters were still drinking tea leisurely, looking like they were watching a play.

Yuan Lingxiu didn't speak immediately, he just thought it was a little funny.He had only mentioned the matter of Shen Gui's adoption to Shen Jieran in the morning, and before he had written his horoscope, someone came to make trouble.

He had known for a long time the factions that the women in the Shen residence were divided into, and he could guess who was behind this incident.In the past, he didn't have any conflict of interest with these people, and they would all come to him to make trouble for Mrs. Shen, but now it's even more difficult to deal with.

This group of people did not dare to provoke Shen Jieran, perhaps because Yuan Lingxiu's status was not high in the eyes of this group of people, and he always seemed to be very silent, but they all felt that he was easy to talk and easy to bully.

Zhang's whole body trembled slightly, she clenched her fists, and suddenly knelt down on the ground when Yuan Lingxiu spoke.The Wei family is also a big family, but the Zhang family has declined over the years. It is due to her aunt Mrs. Wei that she will be married by the eldest son of the Shen family as a side wife.As the link between the Zhang family and the Shen family, she does not dare to have any temper on weekdays, she serves her husband and mother-in-law conscientiously, and has always been respectful and respectful to the domineering Liu family.Fortunately, she gave birth to a son this year, so her position in the Shen family is considered to be consolidated.But she never expected that the first wife, Mrs. Liu, was jealous and couldn't tolerate her son, so she had long planned to send Shen Gui out.

Recently, there have been more and more rumors that Mrs. Shen intended to adopt Shen Gui to the Second Young Master of the Shen family. At this time, she doesn't care about her family and her own face.But she also knows that she is soft-spoken, and her husband-in-law is a person who can't make decisions. Although her mother-in-law is neither biased nor conniving with their daughters-in-law, her mother-in-law has always been serious and inviolable, and Zhang doesn't think it's important to deal with this matter. The old lady will help her.After much deliberation, I had no choice but to ask Mrs. Wei to help make the decision.

As a mother, even if she is rejected by her husband and mother-in-law, she will not give her son to others.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang gained a little bit of confidence, and she wanted to cry: "Mr. Yuan, please! Can you persuade the second young master and the old lady not to take my child away!"

34. Chapter 33

"Madam Zhang, what do you mean? Get up and talk first." Although Mrs. Zhang is the side wife, she is also Shen Jieyi's side wife. Yuan Lingxiu couldn't stand her bow.The man and the woman can't get married, and it's not easy for him to help her: "Who is that, help your wife up quickly!" He pointed to a maid who had just been standing next to Mrs. Zhang.

"Oh, Second Sister-in-Law, you, you are so proud of yourself!" The younger sister Shen Jiehua suddenly jumped up, as if she didn't notice that it was Mrs. Zhang who knelt down suddenly.

She didn't hear Yuan Lingxiu's personal promise. Zhang didn't want to get up at first, but if she didn't get up again in this situation, wouldn't it embarrass Yuan Lingxiu?Being helped up, Mrs. Zhang looked at Yuan Lingxiu with some anxiety, and hated the two concubine sisters who insisted on following and only wanted to disturb the muddy water.

These two concubine sisters of Shen Jieran also have nothing to do, and they are not much worse than Mrs. Wei in terms of unreasonableness. They have often found fault with Yuan Lingxiu in the past.It is even more lawless to be able to insist that black is white, and white is black, and relying on his relationship with the Liu family who is likely to become the future mistress.

In the previous life, Yuan Lingxiu was helpless in Shen's residence, and no one would find him back when he was wronged. After a long time, he got used to the habit of not caring about these people, and not taking it to heart when he was made things difficult for him.Anyway, his marriage to the Shen family was bestowed by the late emperor, and there is no one else in Shen Jieran's yard who can ban him. The people of the Shen family can't really do anything to him except for their bad words and bad attitude. up.

But now it is different.Ever since he decided to trust Shen Jieran, he knew that this person would definitely protect him, at least he would not be framed by those unfounded reasons again.

"Little sister, what do you mean by this?" Yuan Lingxiu raised his eyes and looked over. Although his face was expressionless, those eyes were extremely sharp.He has deep inner strength, and even a little coercion can overwhelm this group of people: "Didn't you see that Mrs. Zhang knelt down by herself?"

"You!" Shen Jiehua was already thinking of retreating, but she couldn't bear to lose face, so she had to grit her teeth and stare back.But in his heart he thought unconvinced, before Yuan Lingxiu went out to recuperate from his illness, he never said anything back.She did not expect that the second sister-in-law, who had always been taciturn, would respond so bluntly.

Thinking of this, she smiled viciously again, "The second sister-in-law is indeed the one who enjoys the favor of the second brother alone. With the support of the second brother, it is really different from before."

"Yes!" Shen Jieying also said with a smile: "I really envy the second sister-in-law who can get the sole favor of the second brother. The second brother doesn't even want any offspring for you, so he can only adopt the eldest brother's child."

These words really hit his current Achilles heel.

Yuan Lingxiu didn't think it was wrong for a big man to care about little girls. He had already learned the viciousness of these two girls in his previous life.But even though he didn't want to let it go, but he was very angry, but he never uttered any vulgar words, and he was always clumsy and not good at words.

After Shen Jieying and Shen Jiehua said this, everyone thought of the purpose of their visit today, so naturally they had a lot of resentment towards Yuan Lingxiu - if he can fulfill the responsibility of a man's wife and take a few concubines for the second young master, how can there be any adoptive people? family child?They didn't believe that Shen Jieran really didn't marry anyone else because he loved his wife Ruqie - if his wife insisted on taking a concubine for her husband, which man would refuse?

Some people resent and some people are jealous. I don't understand how this man got into the eyes of the most romantic and suave Second Young Master in the capital?
