Su Wan slept soundly all night. When she woke up to eat in the morning, she thought she was going to be held and taught by Liu Shi again. As a result, Su Wan did not see Liu Shi, and only found out after asking the housekeeper. Mrs Liu went to Huangjue Temple with her personal maid early in the morning.
Burn incense and pray
Well, in addition to beating horses, Liu really has such a hobby. He likes to worship a Buddha and ask for a horse to sign.
Su Wan guessed that Liu's must be asking for the signature for her own business, but this time Liu's is destined to be disappointed...
It was almost noon, and the Liu family still hadn't come back, but Jingning Hou's mansion welcomed a foreign visitor.
Shen Yushu.
Su Wan had long forgotten what Liu said yesterday, and when the steward came to report that it was Mr. Shen's visit, Su Wan only remembered what Liu said yesterday that Shen Yushu had already visited the door.
Having Wen Yu stay in the yard, Su Wan took Wen Yue to the living room of Hou's mansion. Shen Yushu was sitting there upright, holding a teacup in his hand, with a calm and indifferent expression on his face.
"Young Master Shen, you are here!"
As soon as Su Wan entered the door, she greeted Shen Yushu, her tone was neither salty nor light, without the closeness of the past.
Shen Yushu was stunned when she heard Su Wan's voice. In the past, when they met, Su Wan always called "Brother Yushu" and "Brother Yushu". Because of the marriage contract between the two, Shen Yushu did not specifically ask her to change her name, but Today Su Wan's attitude is obviously a little strange, and this sudden strangeness makes Shen Yushu feel a little unaccustomed.
"Su... Miss Su."
Hesitating, Shen Yushu still used the honorific title as usual. In fact, at this time, Shen Yushu remembered that the two had known each other for so many years, as if he had never taken the initiative to get close to her, or even called her by her boudoir name. …
The two were nominally fiancées, but at this time, the two of them were sitting in the hall and were extremely cold. Su Wan didn't speak anymore, and Shen Yushu didn't know what to say.
When he was at home, he wanted to come to Jingning Hou's mansion to see her, and ask her about her current situation, but now Shen Yushu suddenly didn't know how to speak when he met those unfamiliar and somewhat indifferent eyes.
Neither of the two said a word, Su Wan just sat on the wooden chair so lightly and upright, while Shen Yushu kept sipping tea, until the cup of tea had been drank, Su Wan raised her eyes Looking at Shen Yushu who was sitting beside him: "How about this tea?"
"what?"
Shen Yushu was stunned again, and he didn't care what the cup of tea was like.
"I… "
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Su Wan couldn't help but smile: "Young Master Shen, don't be nervous, I see you've been drinking tea. If you like it, I'll ask the servants to make you a few more cups."
"No, no need."
Shen Yushu put down the teacup and looked at Su Wan's smiling face gently: "Actually, I'm here today, just to... see you."
Shen Yushu had never paid close attention to Su Wan before, but since the last time she had contact with her at the hunting ground, Shen Yushu could always inadvertently think of this girl who had a bright smile and was heartless in her work.
The relationship between people is so delicate. When you don’t care about your heart, you can’t see it no matter how much the other person has done. When you really care about your heart, you will start worrying about gains and losses.
Shen Yushu felt that Su Wan was a little cold to herself now. Could it be because she was alienated from her before
"Look at me?"
Hearing Shen Yushu's words, Su Wan lowered her eyes and seemed to be worried: "Mr. Shen, in fact, I too... I just have something to tell you."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Hearing Su Wan's words, Shen Yushu turned her head and looked at Su Wan seriously.
"I think… "
Su Wan finally slowly raised her eyes and looked at Shen Yushu with a complicated look: "I want... I want... break off the marriage!"
He hesitated to say this sentence. After speaking, Su Wan leaned back on the chair, as if she had exhausted all her strength.
break off an engagement
Shen Yushu stood up abruptly and looked at Su Wan in disbelief: "What did you say? Are you going to... break off the engagement with me?"
Shen Yushu's question was full of disbelief. At this time, his bright eyes were staring at Su Wan's eyes unblinkingly: "Why? Why break off the marriage?"
At least, she should also give him a clear answer.
"No reason, I just... I don't like you anymore, I have always liked you so, but you don't like me, I feel very tired."
Su Wan raised her eyes and looked at Shen Yushu without flinching: "I also want to find a husband who loves me and treats me sincerely."
The words she said were so sincere, her eyes turned red involuntarily.
Shen Yushu's heart was shocked, and she looked at Su Wan with some guilt: "Actually, I can also..."
I can be nice to you too.
"Too late."
Su Wan stood up slowly and interrupted Shen Yushu's words: "Some things have happened and they can't be undone. Shen Yushu, you and I are doomed to miss this life. I'm a little tired, so I won't send you."
Without waiting for Shen Yushu's reaction, Su Wan walked away with Wen Yue without hesitation.
In the empty living room, Shen Yushu stood there for a long time without moving, and the slender figure seemed a little lonely at the moment...
…
Qingchuanhou House.
Shen Qingjin heard about Shen Yushu's going to Su's house early in the morning, and she had been restless because of this matter. Just as Shen Qingjin was thinking about how to expose Su Wan's "true face" before Shen Yu's writing, Shen Yushu has returned with the little servant a little lost.
"Big brother?"
Seeing Shen Yushu passing by in front of her courtyard, Shen Qingjin immediately rushed to Shen Yushu with her skirt in hand: "Brother, didn't you go to Su's house? Why did you come back so soon?"
Su family...
Hearing Shen Qingjin mention the Su family, Shen Yushu's face immediately turned ugly.
Shen Qingjin's eyes flashed, and as usual, he raised his hand to embrace Shen Yushu's arm and continued with a "naive" face: "It's already lunchtime, and the Jingning Hou residence is too rude, you don't even know how to stay eldest brother. Are you having a meal at the house?"
Having said this, Shen Qingjin pouted deliberately, and the expression on his face became very angry: "I thought that only Miss Su was the only one in Jingning Hou's mansion, but I didn't expect that their mansion would treat guests like this. Obviously you didn't take big brother in your eyes!"
"enough!"
Shen Yushu suddenly interrupted Shen Qingjin's words loudly. In Shen Qingjin's memory, his brother had never spoken to him in such a fierce tone in two lifetimes. This time he actually murdered her? And it's still for the Su family
For a time, Shen Qingjin's heart was even more uncomfortable, she pursed her lips, and the mist in her eyes was already filled with water: "Brother, you actually murdered me for others? Did I say something wrong? Who does not know Miss Su in the entire imperial capital? It's just a straw bag! Their family and our family's marriage is a high level! I... I just don't like the Su family, and I don't like Su Wan, she is not worthy of her brother at all!"
At this time, Shen Qingjin simply used the topic to play, and burst into tears at Shen Yushu. She knew that her brother had always been hard-hearted and soft-hearted, and loved her the most. Maybe he would reconsider his marriage with the Su family because of this.
only…
Hearing Shen Qingjin's words, Shen Yushu froze in place—
To match or not to match
Even in the entire circle of nobles in the imperial capital, what if everyone felt that Su Wan was not worthy of him
Now, it was Su Wan who wanted to break off the marriage, and he was suddenly at a loss.
Without the annoyance and anger of being divorced, as long as Shen Yushu remembered what Su Wan said, as well as her expression and eyes at that time, he would feel very guilty—
No matter how self-willed and disrespectful she was in the eyes of others.
At least, she once liked him so hard, and did a lot of things for him that were wishful thinking in the eyes of others.
And myself, it seems that he never gave her any response at all.
Therefore, even if everyone in the world has the right to laugh at her, only Shen Yushu has no right to look down on that woman...
