Chapter 83: The Sixth Brother

Winter goes to spring, and everything recovers. New sprouts have crept up on the branches, and hibernating animals have woken up and run above the earth.

In this spring season, Zhangfu is a busy scene.

Just two months ago, Zhang Shanqing went to Liu Chuhan's house with a heavy dowry to propose marriage. The two hit it off and decided to hold the wedding as soon as possible. So, the wedding was scheduled for the spring season.

In the past two months, in addition to going to Murong Yi's mansion to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas once, Jian Xiaozhu closed his door at home and studied how to make poisonous secret weapons.

During this time, Jian Xiaozhu did not hear any more news related to Zhu Yan. However, Murong Yi was freed from the task of searching for the assassin because of his illness, so the assassin's affairs were also over.

Only Jian Xiaozhu and Zhang Shanqing knew that Murong Yi's illness was not real, but pretended.

So on the day of Zhang Shanqing's wedding, Murong Yi recovered from a serious illness, and ran to Zhang's mansion when he had nothing to do, ridiculing Zhang Shanqing, and by the way, he came to eat Jian Xiaozhu's newly made dishes and dim sum.

It's just that three days before Zhang Shanqing's wedding, a person who has been forgotten by almost everyone returned to Zhang's mansion.

This person is Jian Xiaozhu's sixth brother, Zhang Shanlin.

Jian Xiaozhu remembered that she had heard people in Zhang's Mansion say that Zhang Shanlin's mother, that is, the fifth lady of Zhang's Mansion, died in the fire seven years ago. After that fire, Zhang Yunzhu was stupid, and Zhang Shanlin was sent out of Zhang's mansion and has been missing ever since.

And now, this person who has not been heard from is standing in the reception hall of Zhang's mansion, looking at a room of people with a blank face, and said, "I came back this time, not only to attend the wedding of my second brother. In the future, I will live at home. ”

After that, Zhang Shanlin suddenly looked at Jian Xiaozhu who was standing behind Zhang Shanqing, walked over, and said to her, "Third sister, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Jian Xiaozhu was stunned by the question, and then nodded: "Yes, long time no see." ”

It's just that in his heart, Jian Xiaozhu is embarrassed.

Jian Xiaozhu remembered that Caixiu had told her that she had always had a good relationship with Zhang Shanlin before the fire. Zhang Shanlin is two years younger than Zhang Yunzhu, and the age gap between the two is not much, so they were very close when they were children.

And now, Jian Xiaozhu is seventeen years old, and Zhang Shanlin is also fifteen years old. Even, Zhang Shanlin's height is taller than Jian Xiaozhu. Jian Xiaozhu looked at the handsome and upright young man in front of him, and thought in his heart: No, this person is not very similar to Zhang Tiande's other sons.

However, according to legend, the fifth lady Yun Niang is a superb beauty, so Zhang Shanlin may have inherited his mother's excellent genes.

So Jian Xiaozhu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, not worrying that Zhang Tiande might be happy to be a father.

And Zhang Shanlin didn't know that Jian Xiaozhu had a lot of thoughts in her heart at this time, and said to her: "Third sister, can I live in the room next to you?" ”

"Huh?" Jian Xiaozhu was taken aback by Zhang Shanlin's words, but she remembered that there was indeed an empty house in the small courtyard where she lived. So she nodded to Zhang Shanlin: "Okay, I'll let Caixiu help you clean up." ”

But the fourth lady said at this time: "Yunzhu, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate." You're a big girl, how can you let a man live in your compound? ”

Zhang Shanqing said: "Siniang, everyone is brothers and sisters, what is there to avoid suspicion, you think too much." ”

When the fourth lady saw Zhang Shanqing say this, she didn't want to say more. So after a short family gathering, Jian Xiaozhu took Zhang Shanlin to the room next to her.

When he arrived at the small courtyard where Jian Xiaozhu lived, Zhang Shanlin suddenly asked: "Third sister, have you lived here alone all these years?" ”

Jian Xiaozhu shook her head: "There is still colorful embroidery here, and she has always taken care of me." ”

Zhang Shanlin looked at the maple tree in the yard that had just sprouted, and said thoughtfully: "I remember that she was adopted by my mother seven years ago. ”

Jian Xiaozhu had heard others mention in Zhang's Mansion that Caixiu was a girl who was taken back by the fifth lady not long before the fire. It is said that the fifth lady saw the colorful embroidery abandoned by her parents on the side of the road, and when she saw that she was pitiful, she took her back to Zhang's house.

"I remember when I was a child, when you saw that Caixiu was pitiful, you would always secretly give her the things that your second brother bought for you. It's like when I was a child, whenever I was bullied by the fifth sister, you were the one who came out to help me. ”

Listening to Zhang Shanlin's recollection of the past, Jian Xiaozhu could only bow his head and remain silent. After all, this is the real Zhang Yunzhu's past, not hers. If you say something wrong, you'll be exposed.

It's just that she noticed that Jian Xiaozhu didn't speak all the time, so Zhang Shanlin asked her: "Third sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Jian Xiaozhu came back to his senses and said, "I'...... I was stupid for a long time after the fire, and I can't remember a lot of things before. ”

Zhang Shanlin: "Do you also include those memories before the fire?" ”

Jian Xiaozhu nodded weakly: "Yes, I can't remember clearly." ”

"That's not right." Zhang Shanlin shook his head and looked at Jian Xiaozhu: "It's not that you can't remember. I think, you're not the third sister, are you? ”

Zhang Shanlin's words made Jian Xiaozhu stunned for a moment as if she had encountered something extremely terrifying, she looked at Zhang Shanlin in surprise, only to feel that the blood in her body seemed to be coagulated in an instant, and she couldn't open her mouth for a long time.

Seeing Jian Xiaozhu's expression, Zhang Shanlin asked: "Third sister, no, I don't know who you are, but you are not the third sister, right?" ”

Although I don't know how Zhang Shanlin found out that he was not the real Zhang Yunzhu, Jian Xiaozhu still smiled and said, "Six...... Sixth brother, what are you talking about? Who else could I be if I wasn't the third sister? ”

"I don't know who you are, but I can feel that you are no longer the third sister." Zhang Shanlin sighed: "I want to know, where did the third sister go?" ”

Jian Xiaozhu thought in her heart that I don't know where the real Zhang Yunzhu went, but on her lips, Jian Xiaozhu still said: "Sixth brother, you may think too much." I just lost my memory after the fire, but that doesn't mean I'm not your third sister. You see, the scars on my arm from the fire are still there. ”

Jian Xiaozhu rolled up her sleeves, and there was an obvious burn on her elbow. Caixiu said that it was left over from the fire.

Looking at the wound on Jian Xiaozhu's arm, Zhang Shanlin was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly: "Even if I think about it too much." ”

With that, he walked into the house without looking back.

Until dinner, Zhang Shanlin locked himself in the house. When Jian Xiaozhu asked him to come out to eat, Zhang Shanlin said coldly in the house, just let her leave the food by the door, and he would go out to get it himself.
