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

Shen Jieran never asked about the reason for living in the house.

In fact, his father didn't ask him to do anything other than let him go back to the mansion.But after a lifetime, Yuan Lingxiu also knew that his significance in the Shen family was just a target to attract the attention of the Shen family, and there was someone else who was the real spy.

But he didn't know who that person was.

It is ashamed to think about it, he stayed in the Shen family for ten years in his previous life, and he had no real contact with the people and things inside the Shen family, so naturally he would not discover anything.

And he didn't think so much at that time, and he never knew that even his own existence was a conspiracy.

In his last life, he didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the two families... Even if he wanted to, he probably wouldn't have the qualifications, because he was the one who was not trusted no matter whether it was the Yuan family or the Shen family.

In this life, he didn't even bother to look at it, so he thought of calling himself sick and going outside to hide.

but……

He originally thought that the ten years in the Shen family in this life would be the same as the previous life - after all, everything that happened in the two previous lives was exactly the same.He had already thought about everything and planned everything.

But Shen Jieran became the only variable at this moment.

Yuan Lingxiu pursed his lips and looked at the people around him, hesitating in his heart: Should I remind him, and if so, how should I mention it...

08. Chapter Seven Drunken

The two of them sat down at Sunset West Mountain without knowing it. At this moment, it seemed that dinner was about to be served at the main house, and a girl next to Mrs. Liu came over to call the two of them.

Originally, it was just a wife's birthday, so it shouldn't be a big event. In previous years, it was just Yuan Lingxiu and Yuan Lingbao who accompanied her for a meal.That is, Mr. Yuan would not go there deliberately if he had something to do that day, let alone the children who had nothing to do with the Liu family, the other wives and concubines.But for some reason, Yuan Shicheng called everyone over tonight, even Mrs. Yuan, and the dining hall was extremely lively.

Mrs. Liu was very happy today. She was wearing a bright dress, and she was wearing the same hairpin that Shen Jieran gave her during the day. When she saw Shen Jieran and Yuan Lingxiu, she quickly called them to her side.

Yuan Shicheng and Mrs. Yuan were sitting at this table, as well as Yuan Lingmao, the son of the Yuan family, Yuan Lingshan, the daughter of the Yuan family, and Yuan Lingbao, the younger brother of Yuan Lingxiu.Yuan Lingxiu first greeted his father, then formally greeted the head mother of the Yuan family, and then greeted his elder brothers and sisters before sitting down with Shen Jieran.

Yuan Lingmao, the son of the Yuan family, is also an out-and-out literati, and now he is serving in the court. Although he is not familiar with Shen Jieran, he will always meet Shen Jieran on some occasions, so it is not considered a birthright.The two happened to be next to each other, and chatted casually.

Yuan Lingshan is 17 years old this year and has not yet left the cabinet. She has a lively and outgoing personality. When she sees her brother talking with Shen Jieran, she can't help but interrupt.

Madam Yuan has always sat dignifiedly beside Master Yuan without making a sound, but sometimes she looks at Mrs. Liu who has been walking around, with mocking eyes as if she is watching a joke.

The other two tables were occupied by Yuan Shicheng's other concubines, concubines and sons.Yuan Shicheng has six sons and one daughter. Except for the youngest Yuan Lingbao, the ages of the children are not much different.There are three side wives, besides the Liu family, they are the Su family and the Wang family, and there are two other concubines.

"I didn't expect you to have so many brothers, so where is the spiritual cultivation?" Although they all ate at home, Yuan Shicheng said that today was just for fun, so everyone was relatively relaxed compared to the usual rigidity. The surrounding area is also very lively.Shen Jieran didn't care about those unspoken rules, and whispered in Yuan Lingxiu's ear.

"Three." Yuan Lingxiu stretched out three fingers and made a gesture.

Maybe Yuan Shicheng called everyone here tonight just for the sake of excitement, but now everyone is thinking that Mrs. Liu's face is so great, and a mere birthday can make them all gather together.

Yuan Lingxiu's other concubine brothers were at the other table. Seeing the high-spirited Liu family and the intimate behavior of the two, they couldn't help discussing in a low voice.

"I've always heard that the Uncle Yongchang's mansion never took that boy seriously. Why is this young master here today?"

"Who says no, look at Mrs. Liu's smile, scold!"

"Father, it's true, a concubine's birthday wants us all to attend."

"They are all married people, and they are ashamed to sit at the main table when they return home."

……

Both Yuan Lingxiu and Shen Jieran have excellent ears, and their whispered voices were naturally heard.The more Shen Jieran heard it, the more itchy his fists became. If Yuan Lingxiu's parents were not there, he would have to teach those people a lesson.

Seeing the way he was gnashing his teeth, Yuan Lingxiu was really afraid that he would attack the table at this moment, so he couldn't help but pat Shen Jieran's leg under the table, signaling him to be calm and calm.He simply stopped listening, but concentrated on picking fishbones for Yuan Lingbao.

It was as if an electric current was passing through the body.Yuan Lingxiu, who was so absorbed, didn't notice that Shen Jieran was stunned for a long time after his action.

Yuan Lingbao is five and a half years old this year, and the child with baby fat is round.He was hugged on the chair, with his short legs dangling and his eyes bright, waiting for Yuan Lingxiu to feed him fish.

Since two people, one big and one small, were sitting on Yuan Lingxiu's left and right sides, they naturally met their eyes.Yuan Lingbao narrowed his eyes with a smile, stretched out a small fleshy paw and greeted Shen Jieran generously, "Hi brother-in-law."

"Cough..." Yuan Lingxiu almost choked on his own saliva, and he put a piece of fish he had picked into Yuan Lingbao's bowl, "Lingbao, who told you to call him that, do you know if you want to call him Young Master in the future? "

Because Shen Jieran is a Marquis after all, and there has been a difference in respect since ancient times. To show respect, even Yuan Lingxiu's father had to be called Young Marquis instead of son-in-law... This is the same as the emperor's brother-in-law who has to be called the emperor whenever he sees the emperor. It is the same reason not to be called brother-in-law.

Unless it's a very close family, internal members can call it that in private.

"It doesn't matter, the child can call him whatever he wants." Shen Jieran stood up with a smile, lifted Yuan Lingbao up and looked at him.Although Yuan Lingbao's face is very fat, it can still be seen that this child has exactly the same big eyes and double eyelids as his brother... Maybe Yuan Lingxiu looked so cute when he was a child.

Immediately, I felt a little fondle admiringly.

Sitting on the chair by himself, holding Yuan Lingbao on his lap, the child's body was so soft that Shen Jieran almost couldn't resist kissing him.The love can no longer be expressed in words, so I can only keep feeding him all kinds of delicious food.

"He's still young, so he can't eat too much." Yuan Lingxiu said softly beside him.

"Well, I have a sense of proportion."

Although Shen Jieran usually has no airs and looks approachable, he actually doesn't like children very much.But who doesn't like a very good, talkative kid like Yuan Lingbao who doesn't make too much noise?

Halfway through the meal, Yuan Shicheng had business to do and left the table first, followed by Mrs. Yuan and several other wives after eating and leaving.Yuan Lingshan had no choice but to leave the banquet with her mother, and said goodbye to Shen Jieran before leaving.

Mrs. Liu was very happy today. Seeing that Yuan Lingbao was eating almost as well, she took him back to coax him.

The head of the family had all left, and the atmosphere immediately became much more relaxed than before. Other brothers from the Yuan family began to come over to toast.

At the beginning, they all respected Shen Jieran first, but then for some reason, they pointed the finger at Yuan Lingxiu.A few brothers, you can always find a reason to cheer.

Shen Jieran was dismissive of this kind of provocation on the wine table, but he himself didn't care, he drank as he drank, and he wouldn't get drunk just because he said he was drunk anyway.

It's just that he heard from Yuan Lingxiu that he was not good at drinking, but he didn't know the exact amount of alcohol.He didn't want to let him drink at first, but seeing that Yuan Lingxiu never refused to come, his face was neither red nor pale, and he didn't show any signs of being drunk, so he let him go.

They usually have very strict family education. When Yuan Lingxiu was still in the Yuan Mansion, Yuan Shicheng forbade his sons to drink and have fun.So it was the first time for the brothers to drink together, so they didn't know each other's depth.But they didn't shirk when they saw Yuan Lingxiu, they were very bold in doing what they said they would do, and they still looked as usual after drinking so much, they all felt bored and gradually dispersed.

After all the brothers had left, Yuan Lingxiu was still sitting there staring and motionless.

Shen Jieran finally realized something was wrong.

"Ash?"

"Jie Ran, I..."

Before he could finish a sentence, he fell straight backwards.

Fortunately, Shen Jieran had quick hands and eyes, and caught him in time.

"Master! Master Hou, what's wrong with my young master?" Yuan Xin was taken aback by his behavior.

Shen Jieran was actually frightened, he embraced him with one hand, and stretched out the other hand to feel Yuan Lingxiu's pulse.

"It's okay, I just drank too much." Shen Jieran hugged the man who had passed out, "I'll take him back to the room to rest first. You go and prepare some hot water."

After putting Yuan Lingxiu on the bed, Shen Jieran lit the candles in the room, and saw that Yuan Lingxiu's expression was still the same, but he had already fallen asleep.

Shen Jieran was almost laughed at by such an ignorant person.

But he was quickly attracted by the way the man slept.

This was the first time he saw Yuan Lingxiu's sleeping face.

Yuan Lingxiu, who was drunk, was very obedient, and curled up slightly like a small animal when he leaned against the bed.He didn't seem to be sleeping very well, his long eyelashes fluttered like a small fan from time to time
