Shen Zhishu felt this subtle change, and felt surprised and slightly disappointed in his heart.
He was surprised by Wen Jiaojiao's understanding and transparency. He was disappointed that the charming little girl had already left in front of him. Once this change started, he could never go back to the past.
"So Kisaragi no longer likes these pastries?"
After listening to Shen Zhishu's words, Wen Jiaojiao smiled slightly and said, "I like it. Jiaojiao likes eating these pastries very much. No matter who buys them, I like them. I always thought they were too sweet before, but now they feel just right."
As Wen Jiaojiao spoke, he picked up the pastry, took a bite, and said to Shen Zhishu: "Maybe the craftsmanship of this shop has changed, or maybe there is a new pastry chef?"
Wen Jiaojiao ate all the cakes in his hands and clapped his hands. Yuzhu from outside came in at the right time, knelt down to Shen Zhishu, and then said to Wen Jiaojiao: "Miss, you have to go back. We have a meeting with you tonight." Miss’s Lake Lantern Festival, you have to go back and sleep for a while, otherwise you will be out of energy at night.”
Wen Jiaojiao glanced at Shen Zhishu with some embarrassment, "Brother Zhishu, I will go back. My mother-in-law is still waiting for me at home."
Shen Zhishu came to his senses, stood up and said, "Then I will send sister Ruyue back."
Wen Jiaojiao looked at Yuzhu, who wrote to Shen Zhi: "Second Young Master Shen, the lady's carriage is downstairs. I won't bother Second Young Master Shen."
Shen Zhishu could only say: "In that case, I won't see you off. I'll take care of you ladies on the way back."
"yes."
Wen Jiaojiao smiled and waved to Shen Zhishu, and took away two pieces of cake from the plate before leaving.
Shen Zhishu looked at the departure of their master and servant, glanced at the pastries on the table, and said softly: "The pastry chef of this shop has been making pastries here for twenty years and has never changed them."
Ru Yue has never called herself Jiao Jiao in front of him. He still knew her nickname from Wen Hong. Only her mother would call her like this.
She just said that no matter who bought it, they all liked it. It used to be too sweet, but now it feels just right.
She began to like eating these pastries, but she no longer cared who bought them for her.
After realizing that he felt melancholy because of Wen Ruyue's changes, Shen Zhishu was slightly startled. What was he thinking?
He just regards Ruyue as his younger sister. When the little girl grows up, she no longer clings to her brother. This is normal.
Thinking like this, Shen Zhishu didn't feel the slight dullness in his heart dissipate.
"Host...Host..."
"Host! Stop pretending to be dead! Do you know that your behavior just now was abnormal?! Do those words sound like what Wen Ruyue said?"
Wen Ruyue listened to Lao Liu being irritable in her mind. She rubbed her temples and said to him, "Why is it abnormal? Does Shen Zhishu dislike Wen Ruyue from the beginning to the end?"
Lao Liu: "Yes."
"Then let me tell you, what's wrong with that? Shen Zhishu doesn't like Wen Ruyue and treats her as a sister, so I don't like him either. Isn't it better to treat him like a brother and a friend?"
Lao Liu: "But host, you have to maintain Wen Ruyue's character!"
"It's okay to maintain the character, but I can't replace Wen Ruyue in liking Shen Zhishu. Besides, I think pretending to like him even if I don't like him is also a kind of deception to Shen Zhishu."
Wen Jiaojiao didn't want to continue to show that she liked Shen Zhishu very much. Another important point was that she felt that something was wrong with Shen Zhishu. During this time, he came to Wen's house to see her. She accidentally saw him once and it was him. He and Wen Miaoran were talking about something, and it seemed that Wen Miaoran was given something as a gift, but Wen Miaoran didn't accept it.
Wen Jiaojiao's future life and death will mainly depend on these two people. Instead of maintaining Wen Ruyue's love for Shen Zhishu's character, it is better to withdraw from the competition with the heroine directly, not to get entangled between the two of them, and let them develop their own emotional lines.
This may make Wen Ruyue's character a bit ooc, but at least she won't die because of the second male lead.
As long as she thought about Wen Ruyue's miserable life in the later period described in the book, her heart would tremble. Seeing that the second male lead was like the life-killing king of hell, how could she still want to tangle with him? That's why she just said that to Shen Zhishu talk.
Wen Ruyue's ability to marry Shen Zhishu was not due to her insistence on acting and acting badly. Instead, it was a marriage that both families were optimistic about. The Shen family was a third-rank official family, and the eldest daughter in the family, Shen Zhishu's sister, was still in the palace. Zhaoyi is also a third-rank official. Although her overall family background is lower than Wen Ruyue's, she can still be considered a well-matched match.
The Shen family was very satisfied with this marriage, not to mention that the two families were still old friends. Shen Zhishu had refused, but he couldn't bear the beatings of his elders and could only accept it after being depressed for a while.
Wen Jiaojiao was afraid that if she continued to be entangled like this, she would soon be pregnant and the two families would have to discuss marriage. If she continued to be entangled like this, her head would get big.
After returning to Wen Mansion, Wen Jiaojiao lay down and fell asleep as soon as he returned to his courtyard.
After struggling for several hours, she was tired and mentally tired.
"Is there such a thing?!"
Outside the hospital, Xiao Yurong's face fell immediately as she listened to Yuzhu and the others reporting on Wen Jiaojiao's visit to Fang Mansion.
She snorted coldly and placed the tea cup in her hand heavily on the table, "Su Qiu has always had a weak temper. Although Wan Zheng is a little stronger than her, her temper is still like hers. She will definitely not be able to handle this matter cleanly."
Xiao Yurong thought for a while and said to Aunt Tao next to her: "Aunt Tao, go and investigate all the people in Fang Mansion in Beijing, including all his relatives, and don't let anyone go."
"The old woman from the Fang family has taken advantage of her. She just made an idea for my daughter. Wan Zheng is willing to endure hardships and marry into their family. Anyway, the boss is honest and willing to work, but the others are all rubbish. .”
Xiao Yurong told Yuzhu and the others with a solemn face, "Please protect Jiao Jiao for me. Feng Xin will go and call Erlang. He will accompany Jiao Jiao during tonight's lantern show. I will keep an eye on everyone in the Fang family." No one from their family is allowed to get close to Jiaojiao."
"Yes, ma'am."
After saying that, Xiao Yurong picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Thinking that Jiao Jiao was almost reaching the age of Ji Ji, she raised her eyes to look at Yu Zhu Fengxin and the others, and asked: "By the way, is Jiao Jiao still clinging to that Erlang of the Shen family? "
Just as Feng Xin was about to reply, Yu Zhu took a step forward and said, "My lady has become a little alienated from Mr. Shen these days."
"Oh? Jiao Jiao is always very happy to see that Shen Erlang. I thought she was interested in him."
Aunt Tao laughed at the side and said: "As the young lady has grown up and has her own little daughter, she realizes that she doesn't like the Second Young Master Shen. She just regards him as her elder brother."
Xiao Yurong said lightly "Yes", "It doesn't matter if you don't like me. I think this Shen Erlang is not a good match for Jiao Jiao. He is a scholar and his family background is not outstanding. He cannot protect me Jiao Jiao."
Yuzhu and Fengxin left after being questioned by Xiao Yurong. After leaving, Fengxin pulled Yuzhu and said: "Yuzhu, why are you and the lady alienated from Mr. Shen? Isn't the lady..."
Yuzhu grabbed Feng Xin's hand and said: "Feng Xin, can't you see? Although the young lady still likes Mr. Shen very much, it is different from before. Every time Mr. Shen comes, she behaves in various ways. She couldn't help but look at the things Mr. Shen gave her and then throw them away. Normally, she would take them out and look at them from time to time."
Feng Xin thought about it and realized that it was indeed what Yuzhu said.
