The Rest of My Life

So Shen Zixian is looking for me to ask this.

In fact, I thought about the questions he might ask on the way, and that was one of them.

But I hesitated to tell him the truth.

I'm afraid he won't accept it.

After all, Shen Fang had sought me out through a grand court. Regardless of whether Shen Fang had colluded with the royal court or not, it wasn't very open and honorable.

Shen Zixian was a member of the task force and had been busy dealing with the court recently.

His son was chasing after the mercenary, but his father was involved with the mercenary. To Shen Zisheng, this was an absolute blow.

And what Shen Fang said to me, most of it concerns the Zhou family.

I'm a little worried that Shen Zixian might lose his patience and cause trouble for Zhou Xun, otherwise, it would be bad if he were to start a conflict with Zhou Xun …

After a moment's hesitation, I gave a vague "En".

Shen Zixian stared at me, and said: "This time when we returned home, I wanted to talk to my father about letting you go back to the Shen family, but before I could speak, he brought up this matter." His tone was a bit strange as he said, "He actually agreed to let you go back to the Shen family."

I met his gaze and said, "Your father isn't simply asking me to return to the Shen family, is he?"

A hint of uneasiness flashed through his eyes. He withdrew his gaze and said, "Right, he made a request …"

I waited for him to continue.

He said, "My dad told you to divorce Zhou Xun."

I looked at him out of the corner of my eye without even thinking. "Do you think that's possible?"

Shen Zixian's brows slightly creased as he said: "My dad seems to be very confident that you and Zhou Xun will separate …" After a pause, he said, "That's why I suspect that he didn't look for you."

"So it was a guess. I thought he heard the exact news from somewhere."

I did not deny that I had seen Shen Fang before, but said resolutely, "Please tell your father that I will not leave Uncle Zhou."

Shen Zixian looked at me for a few seconds, then mumbled, "If you don't want to leave, then don't."

From the looks of it, he seemed to have heaved a sigh of relief.

I looked at him in surprise.

He snorted and said, "It wasn't easy for you to find a satisfactory marriage, so how could I let you get a divorce?"

Even though his words weren't nice, he was actually concerned about me.

I couldn't help but to laugh, as I was somewhat certain in my heart that I didn't tell him about Shen Fang's plan.

This is for the best, in case something happens in the future, Shen Zixian will have to bear the responsibility.

The waiter brought in some food.

Shen Zixian handed a plate of peach to me and said, "I heard that pregnant women should eat this."

It was my first pregnancy, and I didn't understand it.

Besides, both Zhou Xun's mother and I are no longer alive, and no one has told me what I should notice.

However, there are doctors at home, as well as Aunt Ning and the kitchen to prepare all kinds of food for me, so I don't have to worry about nutrition.

I smiled and thanked him. "You know all this?"

Shen Zixian stared at me, "I checked online."

I smiled instantly, but I was also grateful for his good intentions.

He looked at me and suddenly became serious. "I still hope that you can return to the Shen family."

Seeing that he had a serious face and a cautious tone, he couldn't help but think about it.

Actually, I also want to find out the truth behind the kidnapping of my mother, moreover, the accident of Shen Zixian's grandparents was also very strange … Although Shen Fang placed the blame on the Zhou family, I had the feeling that he was lying.

In my opinion, the Shen family has many secrets, and since Shen Fang did not tell me the truth, I should go back to the Shen family and inquire about them …

After a moment of silence, I whispered, "I'll think about it."

Shen Zixian was very happy, he looked at me and said, "You've finally thought it through."

I smiled.

Actually, it's not that I've thought it through, it's that I have something important to investigate.

But I can't be honest with Shen Zixian.

It made me feel guilty, and I thought I would have to apologize to him on the day the truth was revealed.

I gathered my thoughts and said half-truthfully, "The main reason is that I feel that my loved ones are very important … Do you know what happened to Uncle Zhou's aunt recently? "

When the Zhou family began to rule the country, the entire circle of aristocratic families started to spread.

Everyone knew that Minghao had angered the Zhou family, and now the whole circle was laughing at Auntie Zhou for being blind.

However, they could only secretly laugh. They didn't dare to point fingers at the Zhou family members, nor did they dare to go to Auntie Zhou's room to tease them. Aunt Zhou had a very powerful family.

Everyone was discussing how the Zhou family had kicked the Xiang family out of the aristocratic circle. The Zhou family was truly too domineering.

However, to Auntie Zhou, this was what her family did to her.

With the Zhou family as a backing, Auntie Zhou could marry another man in the future.

Everyone envied her.

I said smilingly, "You saw it yourself. If it wasn't for the Zhou family, I wouldn't have gotten divorced so easily and would have sought justice from the family."

Shen Zisheng nodded his head and said: "At least you are aware, your family is indeed very important."

I smiled as I looked at him. "It's precisely because of this that I thought it would be better to return to the Shen family … Do you think I'm being too snobbish? "

He frowned and said: "Why are you thinking so much? You should have gone back to the Shen family!"

For some reason, my nose felt sore. "Thank you …" I whispered.

He cast a sidelong glance at me and said, "No matter what, as long as I'm here, I definitely won't let Zhou Xun bully you."

At that time, if anything happens to our relationship, like Bei Bei returning, he will eventually choose Bei Bei … Shen Zixian might not be able to handle it, but the promise he gave me at this moment, the care he showed me, moved me.

I wrinkled my nose. With great difficulty, I suppressed the emotions in my heart and choked with sobs. "Then I'll complain to you when the time comes."

Shen Zixian intentionally clenched his fist and said, "Don't worry, my skills are not any weaker than him. I will definitely beat him up."

I recalled that when Zhou Xun and I had a conflict because of Qin Xueman, he had a fight with Zhou Xun.

The two of them were quite good at martial arts, it seemed like they had a draw …

My tears turned into smiles as I thought to myself, no matter what truth I find out in the future, no matter what evil deeds Shen Fang did or not, as long as Shen Zixian is not involved, I will definitely recognize him as my brother.

Shen Zisheng knocked on the table and said: "You have to make a decision as soon as possible."

I replied, "I'll give you an answer within a week."

Satisfied, he said, "Don't worry, I'll convince my father as well."

I smiled and agreed.

Actually, I have already thought about it, I need to find a chance to talk to Shen Fang again. The main reason is that I don't want to make things difficult for Shen Fang, and I feel that if I don't explain things to Shen Fang, Shen Fang might not let me go back to the Shen family.

After that we changed the subject, and Shen Zixian talked about what had happened to him in the past few days.

In just three short days, those who broke the law were all caught, their businesses were all confiscated, and they completely disappeared from the circle of aristocratic families.

The Zhou family's lightning strike had intimidated many people. They were all sighing at the Zhou family's power.

Shen Zixian looked at me and said, "The Zhou family is so tyrannical, you better not be bullied by Zhou Xun …"

As he was speaking, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.

Zhou Xun walked in from outside and said expressionlessly, "I won't bully Nian Bing."
