Noble First Daughter-in-law

A face that was both familiar and unfamiliar appeared in front of me.

"Like—little sister!?"

Listening to the almost unfamiliar voice, seeing the joy on that almost unfamiliar face, with a somewhat guilty smile in the joy, Shang Ruyi's breath was choked.

The face in front of me is unfamiliar because I haven’t seen him for more than ten years; familiar because even though I hate him so much and resent him so much, I still can’t deny that he is a handsome man, and the most outstanding thing about his face is The bright and shining eyes and the straight bridge of the nose all come from the memory of my father who was extremely talented and handsome.

However, compared to his gentle and elegant father Shang Ruohong, this man had a meanness in his bones. Even when he looked at himself with a smile, he felt his eyes scratching his bones.

Shang Ruyi's brows twisted subconsciously.

Because the person calling her "little sister" was none other than her elder brother, Shang Shoufei.

The last time the two met was ten years ago.

Ten years ago, at his father's funeral hall, Shang Shoufei, who was only 14 years old but already cruel and ruthless even some adults, drove him out of the business without mercy, not only ignoring his cries and requests. , not even a spare piece of clothing to keep out the cold was left for myself.

Over the years, Shang Ruyi rarely mentioned him, because mentioning it was like a person having to recall the most terrifying nightmare of his childhood. Hatred was still a trivial matter. The memory of hatred and suffering tortured him to the point where he could not breathe and his heart ached. The feeling is really painful.

But Shang Ruyi didn't expect that this nightmare would become an entity at this moment, and even sit in front of him.

And you still call yourself—little sister?
She subconsciously clenched her fists and pinched her little finger with her nails.

The insensible numbness made her wake up, and an instinctive resentment and acrimony cultivated in the years of suffering made her want to say something immediately, but before her somewhat blocked throat could say a word, her hand was A gentle hand took hold.

It's Shen Wuzheng.

He stood beside her and held her hands calmly.

With two eyes, Shang Shoufei stared coldly at the man who called "little sister", but was stared at by his eyes for a while, and Shang Shoufei showed embarrassment, and said: "You, what do you call me little sister?"

"...!"

Shang Shoufei was startled, and the smile on his face suddenly turned awkward.

But Shen Shiyan, who was sitting in the main seat, said softly: "Wuzheng, after all -"

But he didn't finish his words. First, Shen Wuzheng raised his head and glanced at him. Second, Yu, who had long been impatient next to him, pinched him hard. His son, who was not angry and self-confident, looked at him, and then Due to his wife's coercion, even if he wanted to worry about the face of the Shang family, it was difficult for him to speak at this time.

I could only sit in the distance with a grimace, as if on pins and needles.

Without the "foreign aid", Shang Shoufei seemed to be on pins and needles. He thought for a while, stood up, bowed to Shen Wuzheng and said, "You are Wuzheng. Long time no see."

Shen Wuzheng didn't even lift his eyelids: "I'm down—Shen, Wu, Zheng."

"..."

"This is my little sister, Shang Ruyi."

These two sentences he said were cold and hard, more like two knives piercing Shang Shoufei's heart at the same time - the first sentence was to remind him that he was not that familiar with him and should not call him by his first name, and the second sentence was to remind him that he was not that familiar with him and that he should not call him by his first name. The second sentence told him again that the "little sister" here belonged to him alone, Shen Wuzheng.

Shang Shoufei's face became stiffer and stiffer.

However, he seemed to be a very discerning and tactful person. He immediately said to Shen Wuzheng again: "Master Shen, it's been a long time."

After saying that, before Shen Wuzheng could speak, he immediately turned to look at Shang Ruyi and said, "Ruyi."

"..."

Shang Ruyi looked at him indifferently, without speaking.

Although Shen Wuzheng only had one move with him just now, and she was completely victorious, this short period of time allowed her to calm down and regain her former sanity.

If Shang Shoufei came to the Shen family at this time, it must not be for the Shen family.

But for myself!

No, for himself.

Speaking of which, the last time Shang Ruyi heard about him was when he was still in Luoyang. When Wang Shaoji came to deliver the divine arm bow to Yu Wenye, in order to humiliate her, he once mentioned that her brother Shang Shoufei was in Daxing City. He was cheated out of his money when he bought an official position. Looking at his outfit at the moment, although he was wearing a gorgeous crow-green, white crane feather and dark patterned cloud brocade gown, he was obviously still wearing white clothes.

The Shen family has been back to Chang'an for such a long time. He didn't come early or late. But it happened that today, the day when Yu Wenyuan's big event was completed, he came to the door. So what he was looking for was not the Shen family, but the Shen family. Find yourself through the Shen couple.

No, he was not looking for himself.

But Princess Qin!
At this moment, listening to him calling her name again, Shang Ruyi once again pinched her little finger, which had long since lost consciousness, and said coldly to him, "What are you doing here?"

Shang Shoufei's thick black eyebrows twitched slightly.When Shang Rujing saw him, he not only didn't call him "big brother", but also didn't use any gentle words. He directly asked him, his voice was also cold without concealment. Obviously, there was no unnecessary affection at all.

Although the weather has cooled down now, he was breaking out in a cold sweat at this moment.

If other people were like this, or if Shang Ruyi was like this in the past, he would have been furious and even served her family. But now, the person standing in front of him is no longer the one who had no ability to resist and let him drive away. The little girl who left home.

But Princess Qin!
Thinking of this, Shang Shoufei's legs trembled slightly.

I heard before that the daughter-in-law of Sheng Guogong Yu Wenyuan, who captured Daxing City without a single blow and established the new emperor, turned out to be his little sister who was kicked out of the house and later adopted by the Shen couple. , he felt a little nervous in his heart, fearing that Shang Ruyi would remember the past and take revenge on him; later, when he heard that Shang Ruyi also followed Yu Wenye to Daxing City, he also felt somewhat conflicted, half fearful and half excited. Those who are close to the water come first, and they have always dreamed of becoming an official. Now it is a pity that a brother-in-law who has become a general and has a bright future is left to rely on.

Just when he was hesitating, the general and his wife went to Fufeng.

So, he immediately suspended his plan to recognize his relatives.

After all, based on what he had done to Shang Ruyi in the past, he knew very well that Shang Ruyi would not forgive him so easily. It was more likely that she had not had time to argue with him before. If she really gave her time to deal with him, he was afraid that he would not get any good results. .

If she could die on the battlefield, although she might not have a shortcut to becoming an official, at least there would be one less threat.

But unexpectedly, news of Fufeng's victory came not long after. Not only that, but there were also rumors among the people that the general's wife, who was a female streamer, directly participated in the Fufeng battle and even burned tens of thousands of Xue Xian's men to death. Such rumors frightened him. He did not expect that the little girl who was driven out of the house by him and could only cry and plead with him would now have such ability and such ruthless methods. The little hope I had was forced to suppress it.

He couldn't imagine what Shang Ruyi would do to him if he appeared in front of him again.

And now...

If it wasn't for his survival and... his future, how could he dare to appear in front of Shang Ruyi?

Thinking of this, he suppressed the dissatisfaction and more fear in his heart, still pressed the smiling mask on his face, and said with a smile: "Ruyi, are you still blaming brother?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi glanced at him indifferently, as if to say "What do you think", but also as if she didn't want to talk to him at all.

Shang Shoufei, however, was still shameless and continued: "Ruyi, you should also be considerate, big brother."

"Oh?"

"At that time, people in the clan said that you had killed your parents and were an unlucky person. They wanted to sink you into the pond. My eldest brother expelled you from the family to save your life."

"..."

"Now that I see you are all well, my eldest brother is relieved."

"..."

Hearing such shameless words, Yu's eyes rolled to the top of his head, and even Shen Shiyan, who had always been gentle, couldn't help but frown.

He has not forgotten that when he hurried back to the business to express condolences to his brother-in-law in the cold winter ten years ago, he found an unkempt man on the roadside, shivering from the cold, and even had bruises and injuries from fighting with beggars. When Shang Ruyi arrived, she looked as embarrassed as a kitten living on the street. If he hadn't arrived at that time, I'm afraid this girl wouldn't have survived that day.

This was definitely not the outcome of being kicked out of the house to save her life. Shang Shoufei didn't even give her a thicker piece of clothing to keep out the cold.

But now, he has the nerve to say such things.

Shang Ruyi didn't even bother to sneer.

She just said lightly: "Yes, I'm fine."

"..."

"Now that you're relieved, can you leave? My uncle, aunt, and my brother and I want to reunite as a family and talk for a while."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the corners of Shang Shoufei's mouth twitched again.

Obviously, what Shang Ruyi said was that she completely disowned him as her biological eldest brother, and only regarded the Shen couple and Shen Wuzheng as her relatives.

They are "family".

At this time, no matter how thick-skinned he was and how eloquent he was, there was no way he could continue to stay after Princess Qin had issued an eviction order. He could only sigh and said: "In this case, then I will go back first." gone."

After saying that, he bowed to the Shens and his wife, bowed his hands to Shen Wuzheng, then turned around and walked out.

However, just when he was about to walk out of the living room door, he suddenly stopped again, looked back at Shang Ruyi, who never turned to look at him, and said: "Ruyi, you have been away from home for more than ten years...don't you want to come back?" Do you want to worship your father and your mother?"

"...!"
