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

Xiu seemed to have lost the strength to speak, he said in a weak voice, "From the day I entered the Shen residence, I have been... a member of the Shen family."

……

For Shen Jieran, all these are just memories from two days ago, and everything is still clearly visible.The blood-stained face flashed across his mind again, and he was feeling depressed when he heard Yuan Lingxiu say, "From now on, this choice is the right one."

Looking over again, I saw Yuan Lingxiu leaning on the big tree behind him relaxed.He obviously has no expression on his face, but it makes people feel that he is very relaxed and comfortable now.

At this time, Yuan Lingxiu probably felt that he was able to live in this courtyard because he married into the Shen family, so he felt that his choice was right.Shen Jieran thought so, and asked:

"Ah Xiu likes the life in the other courtyard very much?"

"Yes." Yuan Lingxiu lazily replied.

Shen Jieran was silent on the outside, but he was startled in his heart.

He has thought about many things since he was reborn, he thought about how he would keep the Shen family safe, he thought about how he should live in this life, but most of the time, he was thinking about Yuan Lingxiu.

He thought whether he should treat Yuan Lingxiu as his wife and treat him well for the rest of his life; or let him go free and simply pick him out of the tide of dispute between Shen and Yuan.

After thinking about it for a day today, I feel that it is better to simply ask for his own opinion on this matter.

Now the answer has come out.

Yuan Lingxiu said that he lived in this other courtyard because he was sick, and he was separated from the affairs of the Shen family and the Yuan family in a disguised form, and he liked this kind of life very much...

Although he knew the answer and what he should do, Shen Jieran felt that something was stuck in his heart, which made him feel depressed.

Shen Jieran took another sip of wine, as if he had suddenly made up his mind, he approached Yuan Lingxiu and said, "In the future, as long as you want, you can live in another courtyard."

Yuan Lingxiu was smelled of alcohol, and frowned unconsciously, waiting for Shen Jieran to continue.

"But not this year, you have to go back to Shen's house to live with me. It's too cold here in winter, so I can't live here. Next year I will be weak. I can ask my mother for a gift from the Zhuangzi with a hot spring pool in the north of the city. From now on, you can live here in summer." Here, live there in winter."

Yuan Lingxiu frowned even more when he heard this, "Young Master...you are..."

"Just tell me to call me Jieran."

Shen Jieran chuckled.

Presumably he was drunk, so Yuan Lingxiu stopped talking to him.

As for the matter of moving back to Shen's house, since the young master already knew that he was not sick at all and made a statement, even if he didn't want to, he couldn't go against it.

"By the way, Mom and Dad will be back in two days, you and I will pick them up together."

Yuan Lingxiu looked up at him and said, "Okay."

He thought for a while and said: "It just so happens that tomorrow is my mother's birthday, so I have to go back to Yuan's house."

"Oh? Really?" Shen Jieran seemed to be really drunk, leaning against the same tree with Yuan Lingxiu, turned to look at him very close, "Then I'll go with you."

The hot and humid air sprayed on the ears, making Yuan Lingxiu want to dodge and at the same time stiffen his body unconsciously, and finally maintained a strange posture.

The husband and wife of the last ten years, they have never been so close.

Shen Jieran was amused by his reaction, and suddenly had the urge to hug this person.

But when I thought about my decision just now, I felt a little melancholy and dull.

The two sat in the forest for a while, then put out the fire and went back to the other courtyard.

In the mountains in late autumn, the night temperature is low and the frost is heavy. Both of them have internal energy to protect their bodies, but when they returned to the other courtyard, they found that their clothes were covered with frost.

After Shen Jieran took a bath, Yuan Lingxiu was nowhere to be found in the courtyard.

After asking Dong Xue who brought tea over, I found out that Yuan Lingxiu likes to read in the study every night before going to bed, and today is no exception.

It was originally a house for people to have fun, but the study in this other courtyard was only opened after Yuan Lingxiu came.There are not many books in it, and they should be all that Yuan Lingxiu usually reads.

Yuan Lingxiu had already finished bathing a step earlier, her wet hair was loose, and she was sitting behind the desk looking at something.Seeing Shen Jieran coming in, he just looked up at him, then lowered his head again.

Somehow, the awkward atmosphere between the two of them due to their special relationship disappeared after a barbecue. Shen Jieran didn't bother him, and walked to the bookshelf to have a look.

I don't know if I don't see it, but I couldn't help laughing when I saw it.

The children of these aristocratic families were taught strictly since they were young, and the books they read were either the Four Books and Five Classics or the art of war and other serious things. Unexpectedly, what Yuan Lingxiu would read every night before going to bed were those picture books circulated in the market.

Hearing his laughter, Yuan Lingxiu couldn't help but look up at him, then lowered his head again.

Shen Jieran went around behind him, raised his hand and dried his wet hair little by little with internal force.

Yuan Lingxiu was a little uncomfortable, and his body was too stiff to move, so Shen Jieran's voice came from his head, "Why don't you dry your wet hair? Maybe you'll get a headache."

Yuan Lingxiu didn't move or speak, just looked at the picture book in his hand calmly.

Shen Jieran didn't know that his hand, which was not on the surface, secretly clenched into a fist.

When it was almost done, Shen Jieran suggested, "Let's go to sleep!"

The hand that had just been released was clenched into a fist again, Yuan Lingxiu said: "I just asked Yuan Xin to tidy up the guest room, but it's probably not ready right now, the pillows and bedding in the main room should have been changed, you go to rest first, I will Just wait and sleep."

This means that Yuan Lingxiu is going to sleep in the guest room tonight.Shen Jieran looked at the low couch in the corner of the study room. Yuan Lingxiu must have faced him all night on it yesterday, and it seemed that he couldn't sleep well.

But thinking about it, the two of them didn't share the same bed, even if they hadn't even touched hands, it was impossible for Yuan Lingxiu to suddenly run into his bed last night.

"What are you doing to tidy up the guest room? Anyway, we'll be moving back in two days. We'll just make do in the main house tonight." Thinking that he hadn't slept in the same bed with Yuan Lingxiu for so many years, he didn't know Why did he get weirdly excited, "We can follow the example of the ancients, holding candles at night or talking with each other..."

Just as he was talking happily, suddenly the loud voice of Yuan Lingxiu's servant came from outside, "Master, the guest room is ready!"

Shen Jieran: "..."

Yuan Lingxiu closed the book and returned it to its original place, looked at Shen Jieran and said, "It's getting late, Young Master... You should go and rest too."

Shen Jieran stood there dumbfounded, watching Yuan Lingxiu go out the door and go directly to the guest room.He turned off the light in the study impatiently, and slowly returned to his room alone.

On the second day, due to the sudden incident, Shen Jieran woke up early on purpose, and told Yuan Lingxiu to wait for him to come back to pick him up, and then went back to the city to prepare gifts for Yuan Lingxiu's mother without any explanation.

So when they went back to the other courtyard to pick up Yuan Lingxiu, it was already noon when the two arrived at the prime minister's mansion.

Although the two were not close in the previous life, they went home to visit their relatives. When Yuan Lingxiu's father had his birthday, in order to maintain the minimum etiquette, Shen Jieran still had to bring a congratulatory gift and go back to Yuan's house with him.

It's just that Xiangye doesn't hold a big birthday every year. On rare occasions, Yuan Lingxiu goes home alone. In addition, Shen Jieran went to the border again later. The number of times he accompanied Yuan Lingxiu home is not as many as five fingers. many.

Because Shen Jieran was loved by the late emperor since he was a child, and his elder brother already had an official position, he was named the Young Lord of Yongchang Uncle's Mansion.

Dacheng's family uncle is comparable to the prince, so although Shen Jieran is not an official, his status is only one level lower than the prince, and he is more likely to be the future uncle Yongchang, so even Yuan Lingxiu's father will be honored according to the etiquette when he sees him. Call him "little lord".

So the people in the prime minister's mansion were surprised when they saw Shen Jieran.Originally, Mrs. Side's birthday was just a small matter at the Prime Minister's Mansion, but unexpectedly, the young master also came, and now it suddenly became grand.

Yuan Lingxiu and Shen Jieran first went to Yuan Shicheng's study to talk.

At this time, although the Yuan family and the Shen family had already started to get along with each other, but after all, the two families had just got married last year, so they were still very friendly on the surface.

Shen Jieran presented a high-quality bluestone inkstone, facing the mastermind in his previous life who brought down the Shen family, he smiled innocently, "Father, Jieran rarely comes to visit, and today he comes back with Lingxiu. This gift is dedicated to you. It is not very expensive, and I hope my father will accept it with a smile."

The bluestone inkstone was not artificially carved, but a natural inkstone-shaped bluestone discovered by the people.The bluestone pattern is peculiar, it seems to have ripples in the sun, it is not expensive but extremely rare.

"Why is Young Master so polite?" Yuan Shicheng is a pure literati, he likes to write and collect pens, inks and inkstones. If Yuan Lingxiu and Shen Jieran were not still around at this moment, he would have loved to play with it.

Shen Jieran greeted Yuan Shicheng with a smile again, he was very good at talking, and after a while he made Yuan Shicheng happy.

Although the two families dislike each other, Yuan Shicheng will not care about a junior.

In the past, he didn't want to see this young master because Yuan Lingxiu came back alone when there were family incidents, and Shen Jieran didn't accompany him.In addition, there are always rumors in Beijing that Shen Xiaohou is in love with other men, and it is also true that his son has been neglected, which makes him very displeased with Shen Jieran.

In his opinion, apart from his son suffering outside, Shen Jieran's behavior was out of disrespect or even provocation to the Yuan family.

Looking at it now, this young Lord Shen is not as defiant as the rumors say.

Yuan Shicheng wanted to have lunch with them, but Yuan Lingxiu said that he had not met the mistress yet.
