Chapter 55: No Prosecution (4)
Shen Yu retreated from the Smug House. He walked a little lightly, and his heart was a little dazed. He should be happy to be crowned the prince, but judging from Mrs. Jiang's attitude, his idea of marrying Shu Yao will never come true. But he was unwilling, very unwilling.
When he grew so big, he was the first time he really had his heart set for a person, that kind of thought, cutting constantly, sorting out and messing up, thinking about her when walking, thinking about her between sitting and sleeping, thinking about her when eating, thinking about her when drinking water...... If liking someone is an illness, then he feels that he is terminally ill and incurable. Every day when he woke up, the first person he wanted to see was her, and when he arrived in the courtyard of Mrs. Yu, he looked at her from a distance, remembering what color of clothes she was wearing today, and he could always distinguish her figure at a glance in the crowd.
He thought about her like this, even if she didn't feel the slightest interest in him, as long as he could stay by her side, he would be satisfied.
But what now? If Mrs. Jiang did not explicitly oppose it in the past, he still had a glimmer of hope, but now that Mrs. Chiang is so firm, his glimmer of hope is like a flame on a candle, which can be extinguished with a gentle blow.
He fought hard to get out of his complacency, and when he walked to a place where no one was, he showed that he had lost his soul. Who did he tell about his pain? Who can understand the wound in his heart!
Sixi dropped out behind him, and it was really unbearable to see him like this, but he didn't know what was going on. Outside the proud house, Mother Jia laughed with others, and said quite proudly about Shen Yu's desire to seal the world, as if this was already a certainty, and Ming'er would be able to have a holy decree at the doorstep. According to this, the second master shouldn't be in this state! Even if there is something about Miss Li Er when she comes, it is definitely a great thing to be able to seal the prince now, maybe this can make Miss Li Er re-examine the second master, a rare golden beetle son-in-law.
He asked tentatively:
"Second master, what's wrong with you? I heard that you are about to become the prince of the Guogong Mansion, such a big happy event, don't you tell the second lady? Maybe she'll be happy enough to say yes when she hears it. ”
Shen Yu's heart was numb with pain, no, don't say that she doesn't agree, even if she agrees now, there is no chance. He walked forward unconsciously, feeling that everything in this world was gray and colorless, the grass and trees were withered, everything was bleak, the wind was blowing hard enough, his clothes were blown up, and his heart was a mess. He asked weakly:
"Have you inquired, the second lady didn't come to Yunshu Pavilion, did she go somewhere else?"
Speaking of this, Sixi is really a caring and good little guy, he knew that Shen Yu must be interested in the whereabouts of the second lady, and when Shen Yu went to Mrs. Jiang's room to talk, he sent someone to investigate, although the inquiry was not detailed, but he generally knew, so he replied:
"The second lady went to Dongfu from Meilin, first went to Gantang Courtyard, didn't go in, and then went to Lanyue Tower."
There was a detail that he didn't dare to say directly, after thinking about it, he felt that he had to tell Shen Yu, but after saying it, it became the sentence he regretted the most in his life, he said:
"Someone saw the general holding the second lady's hand......"
Shen Yu stopped abruptly and looked at him with a sharp look. Sixi couldn't help but tremble in his heart, he had never seen this kind of look on Shen Yu, it was a kind of look like he wanted to eat people!
"What did you say?" Shen Yu asked him gently, his tone was seriously inconsistent with the expression on his face, as if it were two people.
Sixi was a little frightened, clasped his hands, and replied tremblingly:
"Someone, I saw that the general was holding the second lady's hand......"
Shen Yu listened, turned his head, snorted softly from his nose, flicked his sleeves suddenly, and walked quickly towards his Lisong courtyard. Sixi was stunned for a moment, slapped his face, and was a little scared, but he hurriedly followed.
