490 Friendships Can Manifest Anywhere (3)
My father was so angry that he beat him up and locked him in the ancestral hall. It had been a few days, but he wasn’t even allowed to go to the military camp.
“I’m quite conflicted. On the one hand, I understand my brother a little. Who doesn’t want to marry the person they like?
“On the one hand, I feel that my brother did something wrong. If he really broke off the engagement, wouldn’t he be forcing my future sister-in-law to die?”
She sighed and continued with a sad expression, “This world is unfair to women.
“My sister-in-law’s marriageable age has been delayed because of mourning. Now that her engagement has been broken off, outsiders won’t think that it’s because of my brother. They’ll only think that there’s something wrong with her.”
“Most importantly, I quite like my future sister-in-law.”
Shen Yijia tilted her head. “You have a brother?”
Xiao Ruoshui thought to herself, “Is that the main point?”
She picked up her teacup and took a sip to calm herself down. She rolled her eyes. “Isn’t that obvious? Which family doesn’t have a son to continue their lineage?”
Shen Yijia said, “Oh.”
“You’re the only one who’s heard so much from me.” Xiao Ruoshui pinched her arm. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would faint from anger.
Xiao Ruoshui was here to ask her for advice.
Shen Yijia thought for a moment. “Why don’t I tie up your brother and throw him into the new room on their wedding night?”
Xiao Ruoshui rolled her eyes. “I believe my brother is no match for you, but my father can’t lock him up for a few months, right?
“But if we don’t lock him up, he’ll probably go to the Yuan family to annul the engagement before the wedding day.”
Shen Yijia did not say anything because she suddenly thought of Fan Mingyuan.
Xiao Ruoshui asked, “What do you think we should do about this?”
Shen Yijia pursed her lips and asked tentatively, “Ask your brother to marry a girl from the Yuan family and take in the person he likes?”
Oh dear. This was definitely not what she meant. If she was a girl from the Yuan family, she would rather die alone than marry Xiao Ruoshui’s brother.
“Why would you have such thoughts?” Xiao Ruoshui looked pained and asked in disbelief, “If Brother Chen had fallen in love with someone else, would you have asked him to bring her home?”
How was that possible?
Just thinking about it made Shen Yijia unable to take it anymore. She gritted her teeth. “I’ll castrate my husband.”
Song Jingchen subconsciously clamped his legs together when he heard this.
Shen Yijia was speechless.
She immediately put on a smile and called out sweetly, “Hubby.”
Her face said, “I’m very obedient and gentle.”
Song Jingchen pursed his lips and coughed lightly. “I remember that a book was left here.”
The book was placed on the table. Shen Yijia ran over, picked it up, and brought it to Song Jingchen.
Well, she was still very virtuous.
She was not bloody or violent at all. Not at all!
Song Jingchen reached out to take it. After turning around, he paused and looked back at Shen Yijia. He said seriously, “I won’t like anyone else.”
Shen Yijia blinked. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” she thought.
Xiao Ruoshui thought to herself, “Enough, the two of you!”
Actually, it was useless to say anything more about this matter. It still depended on the person involved.
Firstly, Xiao Ruoshui’s brother could not possibly let the person he liked be a concubine.
Even if he was willing, it was hard to say if the girl from the Yuan family would still be willing to marry him after knowing that the person she was going to marry belonged to someone else.
Shen Yijia felt that Xiao Ruoshui was just worrying. If she really liked to worry so much, she might as well worry about herself.
Therefore, she asked Mo Yuan to bring over a green hat with two cute little tassels on it.
She had asked Mo Yuan to make the hat overnight yesterday.
“For me?” Xiao Ruoshui was dumbfounded as Shen Yijia put on the hat for her.
Weren’t they talking about her brother? Besides, why would she wear a hat in the middle of summer?
Shen Yijia did not say anything. She first took off the hairpin on Xiao Ruoshui’s head and solemnly helped her put on her hat. She even thoughtfully helped her smooth her messy hair.
It was quite cute.
Next time, he would get Mo Yuan to make one for each of their family members. They didn’t want green ones!
After doing this, she sat back in her seat in satisfaction. She pointed at Xiao Ruoshui’s head and reminded her, “Wow, it’s so green.”
Xiao Ruoshui was speechless. “How can a green hat not be green? Also, why do you like green so much recently? The cloth you gave me yesterday is the same.”
Shen Yijia blinked. Da Hua had told her about being cuckolded because Da Hua had been cuckolded before he was captured.
However, looking at Xiao Ruoshui’s puzzled expression, it seemed that green didn’t have much meaning to her.
Shen Yijia rubbed her chin. If the hint didn’t work, she could only make it clear.
“I have a friend…”
Xiao Ruoshui was shocked. “You have other friends besides me?”
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “Miss, do you think too highly of yourself or underestimate me?”
That was not the point!
She rolled her eyes and gestured for Xiao Ruoshui not to interrupt before continuing, “My friend has arranged a marriage. It’s almost time for the wedding.”
“However, I realized that the man had acknowledged an adopted sister and the two of them were very intimate. I didn’t know how to remind my friend, so I could only give her a green hat!”
Xiao Ruoshui asked, “Aren’t you being a little rude?”
Shen Yijia blinked. “Do you understand?”
