After rebirth, I seduced the abstinent Marquis and became the white moonlight

Chapter 32: Childhood Sweetheart's Copy

After hearing Caiyun's words, Shen Ning froze, and many possibilities emerged in her mind, but she quickly dismissed those thoughts. Although it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, Si Yan should... not be like that.

The day before leaving, he almost made her faint. He must like her very much and would not marry her at this time.

Shen Ning took a deep breath and said calmly, "Go out and take a look first."

As she approached the front yard, Shen Ning's eyes lit up and she immediately noticed the woman in red next to Si Yan. The girl did not look like a lady from a noble family in the capital. To be precise, she was different from any girl she had seen before.

Although she is beautiful, she is not coquettish. She has an upright figure, and her eyes reveal calmness and determination. She is more like a chivalrous woman, like a female hero in a storybook stepping into reality.

Standing next to Si Yan, although they don't look alike and have different statures, they have the same aura.

The girl seemed to have an injured foot and she limped along beside Si Yan. Si Yan was patient and took small steps, as if he was adapting to her speed. The two of them looked very familiar with each other. After all, Shen Ning had never seen Si Yan speak to anyone with such a gentle look.

Just as Shen Ning was in a daze, Caiyun beside her suddenly said, "Madam, look, the general is back."

Her voice was very loud, as if she was afraid that Si Yan couldn't hear her.

In fact, it did work. Si Yan turned around and looked in the direction of Shen Ning, then suddenly strode towards him.

He hugged Shen Ning into his arms and kissed her head: "Sorry, I came back late. I was on the way..."

Before Si Yan could finish, the woman in red spoke first: "It's all my fault. I thought my leg injury was not a big deal, but I didn't expect it to flare up halfway and delayed my senior brother's journey. I hope my sister won't blame me."

The woman spoke confidently and openly, revealing her familiarity with Si Yan from the inside out.

Seeing Shen Ning's puzzled look, Si Yan quickly explained: "This is Bai Zhi, a fellow apprentice sister. We just happened to meet."

After introducing Bai Zhi, Si Yan introduced Shen Ning to Bai Zhi and said concisely: "This is your sister-in-law."

Bai Zhi laughed heartily: "The girl looks young, I'm afraid she is not even as old as me. Calling her sister-in-law is too old, I'd better call her sister, I hope she won't mind."

Shen Ning: ...Do you mind if you yelled too?

Si Yan didn't understand women's thoughts. After all, Bai Zhi had been casual for a long time. He said nonchalantly, "Whatever you want."

Then, he called Ling Xiao: "Arrange a room for her."

Seeing him holding Shen Ning and leaving, Bai Zhi joked, "You really have forgotten your brothers after marrying a wife. Senior brother, can you still keep my yard for me? I can't get used to living in a different place."

Si Yan was anxious to reminisce with Shen Ning. Hearing this, he waved his hand impatiently: "Go pick it yourself."

Bai Zhi cheered and said, "Okay, don't forget to prepare my favorite dishes tonight."

Looking at Bai Zhi's series of behaviors, Shen Ning couldn't suppress the strangeness in his heart, but looking at Si Yan's performance, they seemed like ordinary fellow disciples.

Soon, she didn't have time to think about it anymore.

After entering the room, Si Yan pressed her down on the couch and kissed her until she pushed him away and said she couldn't breathe, and then Si Yan let her go.

Si Yan pulled his wife into his arms and asked her carefully about what had happened in the past few days.

Speaking of this, Shen Ning immediately forgot about Bai Zhi. The incident had already passed. She was in a good mood, but perhaps because she was too dependent on Si Yan, she could no longer control herself. At the end, she sobbed softly. Si Yan kissed the corner of her eyes and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry."

Shen Ning shook his head: "No need to apologize, it's not your fault. I've discussed it with my brother, and given my father's behavior, this is the only way it can be. Even if you were here, you wouldn't be able to help. Besides, Ling Feng and the others have already helped me a lot."

Si Yan nodded and pinched her cheek with his big hand: "Still feeling uncomfortable?"

Shen Ning leaned into his arms and said, "A little bit. I just can't get over the fact that my sister left home."

Si Yan understood most of the story. He couldn't help but think of the time when he left Beijing to join the army. At that time, some people felt sorry for him and said he was driven out because he couldn't stay there. Others felt that he was giving up his good life and running away to suffer, and he was just being unreasonable.

Only he himself knows that leaving home can only mean two words to him: relief.

After thinking for two seconds, Si Yan opened his thin lips slightly and said, "You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish? Since it is her choice, she must have her reasons."

Shen Ning understood that Shen Rou really wanted to leave, and she didn't want to stay even if she had the chance to do so.

After being comforted by Si Yan, Shen Ning's mood finally brightened up a bit, but when it was time for dinner, his mood sank to the bottom again.

"Brother, don't take away my favorite food."

As she spoke, Bai Zhi picked up the food from Si Yan's bowl and put it directly into her mouth. Then, she wanted to repeat the same trick. This time, before her chopsticks touched Si Yan's bowl, Si Yan hit her on the back of her hand with his chopsticks.

"Eat your own."

Bai Zhi pouted: "Okay, okay, you used to feed me, but now you are so cold and heartless, bullying the patient, I don't care, you help me change the medicine later, I am so angry that my legs hurt."

Si Yan looked at her coldly: "How do you stay out there? You have more and more problems."

After being scolded, Bai Zhi instead stuck close to him, trying to reach Si Yan's arm and act coquettishly: "Hey, you know my temper, but you're the only one who can control it."

Even Si Yan felt that this was inappropriate, and he immediately distanced himself and said, "Stop touching me."

At this time, Shen Ning on the side was stunned. He had his own yard in the general's mansion, was familiar with the other party's eating habits, and could play and fight with him as if no one was around. In comparison, Shen Ning seemed like an outsider.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Si Yan was about to speak when he heard Bai Zhi raise her eyebrows at Shen Ning and said casually: "Oh, I forgot about you. My senior brother and I grew up together and are used to it. My sister is gentle and generous at first glance, so she will definitely not mind."

These words seemed to be a deliberate compliment to Shen Ning. She pursed her lips and said nothing. Although she couldn't get angry, she didn't respond either.

After eating two more mouthfuls of rice, Shen Ning felt more and more annoyed with Bai Zhi, and put down his chopsticks directly: "I'm full, you guys eat slowly."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Even though Si Yan didn't understand women, he could sense her obvious unhappiness. He stood up and followed her. As he left, he turned back and scolded Bai Zhi: "If you can't speak, then keep quiet."

Bai Zhi was still unconvinced after being scolded: "What's wrong with me? Who knew she was so petty? Ouch, brother, my legs hurt, you..."

Before she could finish, Si Yanren had already walked away.

Looking at his resolute back, Bai Zhi threw down her chopsticks in boredom: "System, isn't this a copy of childhood sweethearts? Why is it different from what we agreed on? This male protagonist doesn't look easy to deal with."
