Su Wan slept soundly that night. When she got up to eat in the morning, she thought that she would be caught by Liu-shi and taught a lesson again. In the end, Su Wan did not see Liu-shi's figure. After asking the housekeeper of the fu, she found out that Liu-shi brought her personal servant girl to Huangjue Temple early in the morning.
Burn incense and pray to Buddha?
Well, other than playing Ma Diao, Liu-shi indeed had this hobby. She liked to pray to Buddha and ask for a fortune stick.
Su Wan reckoned that Liu-shi must have gone to ask for a fortune stick for her matters, but this time, Liu-shi was destined to be disappointed … …
It was close to noon and Liu-shi still had not returned, but Marquis Jingning fu welcomed a guest.
Shen Yu Shu.
Su Wan had long forgotten what Liu-shi said yesterday. When the steward came to report that Shen Gongzi had come to visit, Su Wan then remembered that Liu-shi said that Shen Yu Shu had already paid a visit.
Letting Wen Yu guard the courtyard, Su Wan brought Wen Yue to Marquis fu's reception hall. Shen Yu Shu was sitting upright, holding a teacup in his hand, the expression on his face was very calm and indifferent.
"Shen Gongzi, you came!"
Su Wan greeted Shen Yu Shu as soon as she entered the door. Her tone was neither salty nor light, without the intimacy of the past.
When Shen Yu Shu heard Su Wan's voice, he was startled. In the past, when they met, Su Wan would always call him "Yu Shu ge" "Yu Shu ge". Because of their engagement, Shen Yu Shu did not specifically ask her to change the way she addressed him. But today, Su Wan's attitude was clearly somewhat distant. This sudden unfamiliarity made Shen Yu Shu feel somewhat unaccustomed.
"Su ….. Young Miss Su."
Hesitating, Shen Yu Shu still used the honorific as usual. In fact, at this time, Shen Yu Shu remembered that the two of them had known each other for so many years, but it seemed that he had never taken the initiative to get close to her. He had never even called her by her maiden name …..
The two of them were engaged in name, but at this time, the two of them sitting in the hall were exceptionally cold. Su Wan no longer spoke and Shen Yu Shu also didn't know what to say.
When he was at home, he clearly wanted to come to Marquis Jingning fu to see her and conveniently ask about her current situation, but now that he met that pair of unfamiliar and somewhat indifferent eyes, Shen Yu Shu suddenly didn't know how to open his mouth.
Neither of them spoke. Su Wan indifferently sat on the wooden chair while Shen Yu Shu continued to sip the tea. Only when the cup of tea was finished did Su Wan raise her eyes and look at Shen Yu Shu who was sitting on the side: "How is this tea?"
"Ah?"
Shen Yu Shu stared blankly for a moment. His mind was preoccupied and he simply didn't care about how this cup of tea was.
"I …"
Seeing his somewhat speechless and awkward appearance, Su Wan couldn't help but smile: "Young master Shen, don't be nervous. I see that you've been drinking tea. If you like it, I'll call the servants to make a few more cups for you."
"No, there's no need."
Shen Yu Shu put down the teacup and looked at Su Wan's smiling face with a gentle gaze: "Actually, I came here today to … … see you."
In the past, Shen Yu Shu never carefully paid attention to Su Wan, but ever since the last time he came into contact with her in the hunting ground, Shen Yu Shu could always inadvertently think of this girl who smiled very brightly and did things without a care in the world.
The relationship between people was just this subtle. When you don't care about it, no matter how much the other party did, you wouldn't be able to see it. When you truly care about it and care about it, you will start to worry about gains and losses.
Shen Yu Shu felt that Su Wan was somewhat cold towards him now. Could it be that it was because he had been estranged from her in the past?
"See me?"
Hearing Shen Yu Shu's words, Su Wan lowered her eyes, as if she was somewhat preoccupied: "Young master Shen, actually, I also … … just happen to have something to tell you."
"Oh? What is it? "
Hearing Su Wan's words, Shen Yu Shu turned his head and looked at Su Wan with a serious expression.
"I want … …"
Su Wan finally slowly raised her eyes and looked at Shen Yu Shu with a somewhat complicated gaze: "I want … … I want … … to break off the engagement!"
Hesitantly saying these words, after finishing speaking, Su Wan's entire body leaned against the chair, as if she had used up all the strength in her body.
Break off the engagement?
Shen Yu Shu suddenly stood up and looked at Su Wan with some disbelief: "What did you say? You want to … … break off the engagement with me? "
Shen Yu Shu's questioning tone was full of disbelief. Right now, his pair of bright eyes were staring at Su Wan's eyes without blinking: "Why? Why do you want to break off the engagement? "
At the very least, she should give him a clear answer.
"No reason, I just … … don't like you anymore. I've always liked you so much, but you don't like me. I feel very tired."
Su Wan raised her eyes and looked at Shen Yu Shu face to face without flinching: "I also want to find a husband who loves me dearly and sincerely treats me well."
She said these words with sincerity and her eyes involuntarily reddened.
Shen Yu Shu's heart trembled and he looked at Su Wan with some guilt: "Actually, I can also … …"
I can also treat you very well.
"It's too late."
Su Wan unhurriedly stood up and interrupted Shen Yu Shu's words: "Some things that have happened can no longer be undone. Shen Yu Shu, you and I are destined to have no fate in this life. I'm a bit tired and won't send you off."
Not waiting for Shen Yu Shu to react, Su Wan already unhesitatingly brought Wen Yue and slowly left.
In the empty living room, Shen Yu Shu stood in the same place for a long time without moving, his slender figure looking slightly lonely at this moment … …
… …
Marquis Qingchuan fu.
Chen Qing Jin heard about the matter of Shen Yu Shu going to Su jia early in the morning. Because of this matter, she had been unable to sit or stand at ease. Just as Chen Qing Jin racked her brains to think of how to expose Su Wan's "true colors" in front of Shen Yu Shu, Shen Yu Shu had already brought the little servant boy back somewhat absent-mindedly.
"Big brother?"
Chen Qing Jin saw Shen Yu Shu pass by her courtyard and immediately lifted her skirt and rushed in front of Shen Yu Shu: "Big brother, didn't you go to Su jia? Why did you come back so quickly? "
Su jia … …
Hearing Chen Qing Jin mention Su jia, Shen Yu Shu's complexion immediately became somewhat unsightly.
Chen Qing Jin's gaze flashed. As usual, she raised her hand to hold Shen Yu Shu's arm and continued to speak with an "innocent" face: "It's already lunchtime, Marquis Jingning fu is too lacking in manners. They actually didn't know to ask Big Brother to stay in their fu for a meal?"
Speaking till here, Chen Qing Jin purposely pouted, the expression on her face also became very indignant: "Originally I thought that Young Miss Su was the only one in Marquis Jingning fu who acted willfully and rashly. I didn't expect that their fu would actually treat a guest like this, clearly not putting Big Brother in their eyes!"
"Enough!"
Shen Yu Shu suddenly loudly interrupted Chen Qing Jin's words. In Chen Qing Jin's memory, in both lives, her older brother had never used such a fierce tone to speak to her. This time, he actually shouted at her? And it was even for Su jia's matter?
For a moment, Chen Qing Jin's heart felt even more uncomfortable. She pursed her lips and her eyes were already filled with mist: "Big brother, you actually shouted at me for someone else? Did I say anything wrong? Who in the entire imperial capital doesn't know that Eldest Young Miss Su is an idiot! Their family and our family's marriage is already climbing up the social ladder! I ….. I just don't like Su jia, and even more don't like Su Wan. She simply isn't worthy of Big Brother! "
At this time, Chen Qing Jin simply used this as a pretext to make a fuss, bitterly weeping and snot at Shen Yu Shu. She knew that her older brother had always been hard-mouthed but soft-hearted, doting on her the most. Perhaps because of this matter, he would reconsider her marriage with Su jia.
Only …..
Hearing Chen Qing Jin's words, Shen Yu Shu froze in place —
Do I deserve him or not?
Even if in the entire aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, everyone felt that Su Wan wasn't worthy of him, so what?
Right now, it was Su Wan who wanted to break off the engagement, and he, was suddenly somewhat at a loss.
Without the vexation and anger of being broken off the engagement, as long as Shen Yu Shu remembered what Su Wan said, as well as her expression and gaze at that time, his heart would feel very guilty —
No matter how willful she was in other people's eyes, no matter how disrespectful she was.
At least, she once tried so hard to like him and did a lot of things for him that other people saw as one-sided wishful thinking.
And he himself, seemed to have never given her the slightest bit of response.
