On the day of Xia Chu's engagement party, Shi Sheng attended, but she did not watch the entire ceremony. Instead, she left the venue and went to Xia Chu's usual place.
She sat there for a long time and fell asleep on the chair, probably because she had been too tired recently.
Someone woke her up. She thought that someone was coming and did not pay much attention to it. She turned over and stood up.
The voices did not stop, and someone was crying.
Shi Sheng was a little confused. This was the Xia family, and this was Xia Chu's territory. Ordinary people could not enter. Who would be crying here at this time?
She was puzzled for a while and went to the place where the voices were coming from.
Under the vines stood two people, one older and one younger. She knew the older one, the bridegroom, Ji Ye, but she had never seen the younger one …
"Xuanxuan, didn't I tell you to stay at home?" Ji Ye touched the little girl who only reached his chest and said helplessly.
"Brother, why did you get engaged to someone else? Didn't you say before that you would wait for me to grow up? "The little girl choked." Why did you lie to me? "
"Xuanxuan, there are some things that you don't understand. You're still young. You'll meet someone better in the future. I'll always be your brother who loves you." Ji Ye comforted Ji Xuan gently.
"No, I don't want you to be my brother. I want to be your bride." Ji Xuan cried even harder.
"Shh!" Ji Ye quickly covered her mouth. "Xuanxuan, stop it. I'll take you to dad. Don't say such things again."
"I don't want to. Didn't you say that you love me the most? I don't want to be separated from you! "
"Be good. I'll talk to you when I get back, okay?"
Shi Sheng listened to Ji Ye comforting Ji Xuan calmly. She maintained the same expression until they left.
It was late at night and a cool breeze blew.
Xia Chu ran over from the end. She was still wearing a white gown. Her cheeks were slightly red and she reeked of alcohol. She ran in and panted while holding onto the pillar. "I knew you would be here."
Shi Sheng did not like crowded places, so she was not surprised to see her at the engagement party. She knew that she would be waiting for her here.
She came over as soon as the wedding party ended.
Shi Sheng forced a smile. "Be careful, Ji Ye."
Xia Chu widened her eyes. "What's wrong?"
"… It's nothing." The conversation just now didn't mean anything.
"Ah Sheng, you're acting strange." Xia Chu leaned closer to the Shi Sheng. "What happened?"
Shi Sheng was silent for a moment and told Xia Chu what she had just heard.
She didn't want anything irreversible to happen in the future because of her concealment.
Xia Chu laughed and pulled Shi Sheng to sit down. "That's Ji Ye's sister. They're very close. Ji Xuan is still young and doesn't know much. Ji Ye's engagement with me might make her feel like she's about to lose her brother. I can understand how she feels."
If her brother was about to get engaged and had to give his love to another woman in the future, she might not be happy.
Shi Sheng pursed his lips. "Okay."
"Alright, it's my engagement day after all. Be happy!" Xia Chu reached out to pinch Shi Sheng's face. "Ah Sheng, smile."
Shi Sheng played along and forced a smile.
Xia Chu's face was full of disdain. "It's better if you don't smile. You're making me nervous. Hey, don't go back today. Let's go drink. We won't go back until we're drunk."
"Okay."
Xia Chu brought a lot of wine over. The two of them sat under the vines and drank casually. Most of the time, Xia Chu was the one talking while Shi Sheng listened. Occasionally, Shi Sheng would speak, but it was all very simple.
"Ah Sheng, if my brother was here, he would be happy." Xia Chu drank a little too much and suddenly mentioned Xia Lin. "He would be happy for me."
"Stop drinking." Shi Sheng took the wine bottle from Xia Chu's hand.
"Okay, no! Let me drink. I won't go home until I'm drunk! "
"You're already drunk."
"No, I'm not drunk. How can I be drunk?" Xia Chu retorted. Her eyes were a little blurred. Suddenly, she threw the wine bottle away and grabbed Shi Sheng's hand. "Ah Sheng, tell me, am I the prettiest?"
"Yes, you're the prettiest."
"Then why won't my brother open his eyes to look at me?" Xia Chu cried without warning. She didn't cry out loud, but just cried silently. "Why? He won't even look at me for the last time."
"Brother …"
"Brother, I'll be good. Don't go."
"Brother …"
Xia Chu kept murmuring. Her tears were like a flood that couldn't be stopped.
"Ah Sheng … I'm so sad."
Shi Sheng got up and walked to Xia Chu's side. He pressed her head into his arms and said, "Cry."
That night, Xia Chu cried for a long time. In the end, it was Shi Sheng who sent her back to her room.
She walked back to the Shi family leisurely and met Shi Yu at the door. Shi Yu was still wearing a red dress and seemed to be planning to go out. She was stunned when she met Shi Sheng. After a while, she lowered her head. "Master."
"Yes." Shi Sheng nodded.
Shi Yu hesitated and walked out. When she brushed past Shi Sheng, she suddenly heard Shi Sheng say, "It's so late. Where are you going?"
Shi Yu froze on the spot. She took a step back and faced Shi Sheng. "Hong Ren and I don't have a good rapport. I'm going to find a place to practice …"
"Okay." Shi Sheng's voice was still monotonous. "Be careful."
Shi Yu looked at the person who entered the Shi family's door. She bit her lower lip and finally turned to leave.
Shi Sheng didn't ask Shi Yu why she left at this time, just like how he didn't ask her why she approached him many years ago.
Perhaps it was better not to know the answer.
Shi Sheng returned to her room. She couldn't sleep after listening to Xia Chu's nonsense tonight, so she went to the practice room to practice.
Shi Sheng rarely slept deeply. Every time she fell asleep, she would be awakened by those scenes. Therefore, she could only sleep lightly.
Now, she was used to practicing at night. When she was tired, she would lie down and play a few rounds of games.
…
As the master of the Shi family, many people should have objected to her going to the battlefield. However, the Shi family members remained silent. Only the First Elder reminded Shi Sheng.
These people couldn't wait for her to die on the battlefield and never come back.
Xia Chu and Shi Sheng's status was actually similar at this time. They both had a group of people behind them who wanted them to die and never appear again.
The more people there were like this, the more Shi Sheng didn't want to die. Why should she fulfill their wishes?
She wanted to live, live better than them, and make them do things according to her wishes.
Shi Sheng left the Shi family and made arrangements. When she wasn't in the Shi family, there would definitely be people who would play tricks. However, it was also good. With her purging a group of people, the Shi family would be more obedient in the future.
