Chapter 98 Going to dig the grave
The news of Shen Huaizhi's return soon spread.

Worried about being watched, Shen Yu'an didn't dare to visit the child, so she could only rest in the house that night.

Early the next morning, Wen Lingyi came and was led to Tinglan Courtyard by her maid.

When she saw Shen Tinglan, she had a worried look on her face, "Is Sister Lan okay? Mr. Shen rejected the Chu family's marriage proposal. Mr. Chu was very sad. I was worried about you. I posted a message to visit, but everyone was turned away. outside."

Shen Tinglan felt very sad when she heard that Chu Jun was sad, but she knew that she could not be willful now. She was the only blood of her parents. She could not be selfish and only consider her own feelings. She had to consider the future of the entire Pingxihou Mansion. .

Her parents said last night that if possible, they hope she will not marry outside the family and will spread the word to recruit a son-in-law for her.

Her husband-in-law does not need to have a prominent family, but he must be one of the top three talents in the imperial examination, and he must help revitalize the Shen family.

Chu Jun and his third brother participated in the imperial examination in the same batch. She didn't even ask him about his ranking. She only knew that he was serving in the Li County government office.

The county magistrate of Li County is only a seventh-grade official, and the errands of a seventh-grade official have no rank.

"Sister Wen, my parents have promised me that I can leave the house freely in the future. Where is Chu Jun, tell him for me that I will not marry him."

Wen Lingyi was surprised, "Don't you like him very much? Why don't you marry him? Do your parents disagree? Most parents in the world love their daughters. If you cry, make trouble, or hang yourself and make some noise, you Can parents disagree?"

Shen Tinglan frowned. Without her second sister's words yesterday, she wouldn't have realized that she had hurt her parents' hearts. How could Wen Lingyi instigate her like this?If she really cried, made trouble, and hanged herself, how sad would her parents be?
"Sister Wen, my parents love me, and I love them too. If I cry and make trouble, they will be very sad."

"You are afraid that your parents will be sad, but you are not worried that Chu Jun will be sad? If your parents don't agree, will you give up on Chu Jun easily? Is the love between you not able to withstand the test at all?"

"Love is not as important as my parents. No matter how much I like Chu Jun, I can't disobey my parents for him."

Wen Lingyi's face turned ugly, "You said before that you would fight to the end for Chu Jun. Why do you give up on him so easily now? Do you not consider Chu Jun's feelings at all?"

Shen Tinglan was silent. She was also worried that Chu Jun would be sad, but she couldn't be too selfish and couldn't ignore her parents' feelings just because of love.

Her three brothers are dead, and her parents have suffered enough. If she doesn't obey again, how sad will her parents be?

"Lan'er." Wen Lingyi held Shen Tinglan's hand, sighed, and said sincerely, "Love is hard to come by, and it's rare to meet someone you really like. You shouldn't give up easily."

"Sister Wen, you don't understand. I really can't marry Chu Jun. He and I are not in the same family, and he can't add any help to my family at all, and he can't help my parents at all. If I marry him, I will marry him. I’m happy, but what about my family?”

Wen Lingyi looked in disbelief, "How did you become so realistic? Like most people in the world, you also value family background? Chu Jun's background is not good, is that something he can decide? How can you do it because of this? Just look down on him?"

"I didn't look down on him."

"If you don't want to marry him because of his background, you just look down on him."

Shen Tinglan couldn't refute for a while.

"You disappoint me so much. I thought you were different from others, but I didn't expect you... If you care about Chu Jun's background, why did you have to contact him in the first place? You gave people hope in vain and deceived their sincerity. Then you turned around and said you weren’t going to get married. Are there any people as hurtful as you?”

Shen Tinglan remained silent. She originally wanted to listen to her second sister and continue to contact Chu Jun and cherish every moment together. But now she did not dare to have any more contact. Giving him hope in vain would hurt his heart even more.

"Lan'er, are you really not going to fight with your family anymore?" Wen Lingyi asked unwillingly.

Shen Tinglan shook his head, "My family is not my enemy. I can't fight against them."

Wen Lingyi was a little annoyed and suppressed her emotions, "Well, if you don't want to marry, you can't marry anyone on your head. But with Chu Jun, you have to give him an explanation and make it clear to him. You can't just abandon him without knowing it."

"Yes, I will. I also want to see him and say goodbye properly."

"I heard that your brother has returned home?"

"Well, I came back yesterday." "Can you introduce me to your brother? I..." Wen Lingyi suddenly looked shy, "I like him a little, and my family and yours are the same."

Shen Tinglan was surprised and didn't expect it at all, "When did it happen? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

"I fell in love with him very early on, especially on the day he was selected. If he hadn't been so shameless, I would have asked someone to capture my son-in-law. He is the most handsome, gentle and elegant man I have ever seen."

Wen Lingyi said, covering her face shyly, "Oh, I'm so embarrassed."

Shen Tinglan's mood was complicated. If her third brother really came back to life, she would happily introduce him to Wen Lingyi, but now...

Seeing that Shen Tinglan didn't respond, Wen Lingyi frowned and asked, "What's wrong? With an unhappy look on his face, do you think I'm not worthy of your brother and are you unwilling to introduce him?"

"Of course not, it's just that you are not my third brother's type." Shen Tinglan said tactfully.

"Your third brother doesn't have a girl he likes. How do you know I'm not his type?"

Shen Tinglan didn't know what to say and was very distressed, "Oh, it's really not true."

Wen Lingyi looked at Shen Tinglan, "Are you unhappy with me being your sister-in-law? Are we still friends?"

"Of course we are friends, but..."

"No buts, just help me pull the red line if I'm a friend."

Shen Tinglan was helpless, "Okay, whatever you want, I warned you, my brother won't like you."

"How can you know if you don't try? Your brother is still here, right?"

"It should be here."

"Then now, now you take me to find him."

Wen Lingyi dragged Shen Tinglan away, looking furious. As soon as she left Tinglan Courtyard, she instantly let go of Shen Tinglan and returned to her ladylike appearance.

Shen Tinglan laughed, "Just pretend."

"I'm not pretending. This lady is very gentle."

The two went to Maple Bridge Courtyard.

As soon as they arrived, they saw Shen Yuan going out with a hoe and shovel in his hands.

"Brother, what are you doing? What are you doing with a hoe and shovel?"

Shen Yu'an glanced at Wen Lingyi. As soon as the other person touched his eyes, he quickly lowered his head. He looked a little shy and quickly looked away.

"I'm going to play."

"Where are we going to play? We are going too."

Shen Yuan thought for a moment, then a dark light flashed in her eyes, "Then let's go together."

She was going to dig Jiang Bingyue's grave.
