Spring Forest Evening

Before the redness on Zhou Heng's face subsided, Shen Yi's words caught people off guard once again, which completely shocked her to the point where she didn't know how to react.

It is understandable to say "following A Fu without a name and no distinction", after all, I am now a cousin who lives with the prince in the main courtyard, and few people know her identity, but what does it mean to be "A Fu's legitimate wife"?

Zhou Heng instinctively felt that there must be some misunderstanding, and was about to speak out to defend himself, but Shen Fu who was beside her was one step ahead of her. While grabbing her hand on the table, he stood up and said to Shen Yi solemnly:

"Don't worry, Eldest Sister, in this life, I will not marry my younger brother, Ah Heng!"

After all, she is a compatriot of the same mother. It turns out that the elder sister has long seen that she is worried about gains and losses. She wants to give Ah Heng a reassurance, and also wants to use this to help her settle the matter with Ah Heng.

Alas, it's just that she didn't know that what stood between her and Ah Heng was not the future of Prince Jing's mansion, let alone the threat from the palace, but...

Zhou Heng's hand was grabbed by Shen Fu, and he couldn't help but also stood up. At first, he was quite at a loss as to how to respond. When he saw the painful but resolute expression on Shen Fu's face, he thought of Shen Yi. As I said just now, as the lord of a mansion all these years, he has been shouldering heavy burdens alone. After all, he is only a young man in his early twenties. Thinking of this, Zhou Heng couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

Thinking of what he said to himself before, thinking of the past between the two of them, even though his face was still hot with his head down, after hearing his words that he must marry him, his heart was full of sweetness for no reason. , Inexplicably thought of the oath swearing link of the newlyweds in modern weddings.

However, when Shen Yi saw her like this, she decided that this cousin must have fulfilled her long-cherished wish, and she was very sweet in her heart, so she asked her for credit with a smile:

"How about it, I said Ah Heng, isn't Elder Sister right?"

Zhou Heng opened his mouth, because he couldn't bear to ruin the happy situation between the siblings. Anyway, if he left, the original Miss Zhou would come back. She was looking forward to it with all her heart. As Shen Fu's legitimate wife, then, should I take it as her response now?

So he gritted his teeth and felt his heart sway, regardless of what the blushing face looked like, Zhou Heng bowed his head to the expectant Shen Yi and mumbled softly:

"Well, thank you, elder sister!"

As soon as Zhou Heng said this, he felt that Shen Fu's hand tightened suddenly, knowing that he would be very happy when he heard it, so he could only bite his lips and remind himself to find another opportunity to explain to him later.

As for how to explain it, whether it can be explained clearly, then...let's talk about it at that time!

Shen Yi, however, became more and more satisfied as she watched. The two stood side by side, holding hands. They were truly a pair of lovers. She couldn't help but marvel at the magic of good fortune:

"It's said that fate is predestined. It was because Ah Fu was not... considerate before, which caused you to be wronged, Ah Heng. Fortunately, you two are connected with each other now. If the father, mother, and concubine find out, they will be very relieved!"

Ben also wanted to say some words of blessing, for example, he hoped that the young couple would soon become a dignified couple, but after all, he still felt that this matter could not be decided by himself, so he explained that his younger brother should treat his cousin well.

Naturally, Shen Fu didn't respond to anything. Although the two sat down again later, they kept grabbing Zhou Heng's hand. She thought it was funny, but she still ate a little casually with wit and put down the bowls and chopsticks, using the excuse that she was going out to discuss something with Nanny Shen. up.

So there were only two people left in the house.

Zhou Heng noticed that Shen Fu had been looking at him, and seeing Shen Yi leaving, although he felt his face was still a little hot, he still quickly raised his head and tried to explain: "A Fu, listen to me, in fact, what I said just now, that talk…"

He wanted to say that his answer just now was just to perfunctory Shen Yi's question, but for some reason, when he looked up and saw Shen Fu's sincerely looking forward to it, he couldn't continue speaking.

Shen Fu was very surprised when he heard Zhou Heng's answer of expressing gratitude to Shen Yi. After the accident, he was ecstatic. Now seeing her looking like she wanted to explain, his heart sank suddenly, thinking that she was going to talk to him. Explain what you really think.

In the end, I saw that Zhou Heng had just begun to mutter and couldn't continue, and his sinking heart suddenly became alive again. After a pause, he saw that she was still biting her lip, as if she didn't know what to say. , then boldly answered with a smile:

"What's wrong with what you said just now? Ah Heng, you don't know how happy I am when I hear you and elder sister responding like that."

As soon as Zhou Heng said this, he couldn't continue. He paused, and finally only asked:

"I was interrupted by Elder Sister just now, you... you haven't eaten yet, right? You have to go to the Wanqing Court later, right?"

Seeing that she didn't mention the words just now, Shen Fu believed in her heart that she had acquiesced in what she said, and felt that her heart was overflowing with joy, so she grinned in response and asked warmly:

"You haven't eaten yet, okay? Or eat some more? Just stay with me, okay?"

All right, then... or I'll wait until I figure out the wording before explaining to him. Zhou Heng looked at Shen Fu's overjoyed look, and although he felt that his heart was too soft, he found another reason for himself:

I just made a new discovery under the palace, if I explain to Ah Fu right now that I don't mean to be his legitimate wife, wouldn't that be...it would be a blow to his emotions.

The prince is in a bad mood, so the people under him will naturally have a hard time. If he turns around and delays the digging of the secret passage, isn't it a disguised form of delaying the business?

Business is the most important thing.

So let's put this kind of trivial matter aside, not to mention the matter of the horse head jade carving.

Thinking about it this way, Zhou Heng suddenly felt calm in his heart, and really nodded and continued:

"Today's flower rolls are fragrant and soft, you can eat another one!"

…After Shen Fu had breakfast and left contentedly, Zhou Heng, who had regained his strength, finally began to think about how to organize his words to explain his thoughts back to him.

But before she could figure it out, Chun Yu, who came in to clean up the dishes but broke a soup bowl, successfully diverted her attention:

"What's the matter, Chunyu?"

This girl has always been prudent, and even the little girl Chuntao would not be able to break a bowl, it seems that she has something on her mind.

Sure enough, Chun Yu hurriedly stopped Zhou Heng from squatting down to help pick up the broken tiles, then bit his lip and struggled for a while, finally spit out the thing that upset him all morning:

"Miss Biao, my father said that the wedding date may have to be brought forward!"
