Chapter 1307 - 3: Visiting the Prison
But he didn’t explain, didn’t deny, and of course, didn’t admit.
In the eyes of Old Madam Ji Bei, that was tantamount to acquiescence.
Acquiescence is the same as admission.
Old Madam Ji Bei was so happy she couldn’t close her mouth.
The son was born by her, no one knows him better.
A girl who catches her son’s eye must have extraordinary qualities.
She could hardly wait to see what the girl looked like.
Lady Ji Bei, who was an impatient person, said, "Which mansion is that girl from?"
"I’ll have your cousin invite her to the mansion to admire the flowers, so Mother can have a look at her appearance and demeanor."
Shen Junshan, "...."
Which mansion is she from?
He also wanted to know which mansion she was from.
Now he’s upset with her to the point his teeth itch!
Invite her to the mansion to admire the flowers?
He needed to know where to send the invitation, at least.
Moreover, he didn’t even know what she looked like.
Because he didn’t agree immediately, Lady Ji Bei frowned in displeasure, "What? Your father has already seen her, can’t I?"
"Yes, yes...,"
"Son will arrange it," Shen Junshan agreed reluctantly.
Originally he came back over the wall to bid farewell to Mother and ask her to persuade Father not to get too upset and harm his health.
Now that Liehuo had returned to Father’s hands, he naturally had no need to leave the Capital anymore.
Seeing Mother smile like a blooming flower, Shen Junshan felt heavy-hearted.
What kind of situation is this?
In all his life, he had never been put in such a difficult situation.
Coming out of the room, Shen Junshan looked up at the sky, the bright sky seemed gloomy in his eyes.
Already feeling blocked in his heart, the maids and old women had expressions of "Our Second Young Master finally has a girl he’s fond of."
Shen Junshan felt even more depressed.
The maid was still alright; whatever she had, she only dared to express on her face, not say it out loud.
His eldest brother and third brother would congratulate him every time they met, patting his shoulder, saying, "Second brother, congratulations."
"Second brother, when will you bring our future sister-in-law back to meet us?" said Third Young Master Shen.
"...."
There was an inner thought he wanted to express but couldn’t.
Shen Junshan pushed away his eldest brother’s hand that was on his shoulder and said, "There’s not even a hint of a match yet, but you’re making it seem like I’m about to marry her already."
Third Young Master Shen laughed and said, "Father has seen her."
"Father says she’s good, so it’s settled, right?"
Shen Junshan, "...."
Feeling very tired.
What sort of perception does his father have?
How could he think a horse thief is good?
"That girl didn’t fancy me," Shen Junshan said despondently.
Saying this, it should no longer be considered a match, right?
Eldest Young Master Shen and Third Young Master Shen exchanged a glance, surprised by the unexpected situation.
So, that girl didn’t fancy their second brother?
Father said that girl returned the silver note, which they found a bit odd; that’s why.
"Second brother, it’s not that I’m lecturing you, but you really should change your temperament," Eldest Young Master Shen said.
"If you had the same approach as me and third brother, given that you’re the Second Young Master of the Jibei Marquis Mansion, why worry about not getting married?"
"....."
Watching a lecture about to unfold, Shen Junshan felt his ears hurt.
Even his father didn’t nag like eldest brother did, and he least liked to be lectured.
Rules and regulations; worrying about everything; isn’t life tiring?
"I have things to do, I’ll be off then," Shen Junshan quickly said.
Without waiting for his eldest brother to respond, he leaped up and disappeared onto the rooftop, vanishing in a few flickers.
Eldest Young Master Shen shook his head helplessly, with a touch of envy in his eyes.
Though the three of them shared the same mother, in terms of martial skills, the two of them together are no match for Shen Junshan alone.
He is the eldest legitimate son and will inherit the title in the future; Father disciplined him strictly.
The third brother is the youngest and was born weak; Mother takes extra care of him.
Only the second brother, Father and Mother often neglect him, and he himself is not ambitious, lazy and idle.
Yet this unambitious lazy one learns everything quickly and grasps it once learned.
Sleeping in class, slacking off in martial training, yet he’s better than them both.
In this regard, Eldest Young Master Shen and Third Young Master Shen both knew, feeling quite resigned; talent is so important.
Yet they are brothers; there is envy, but no jealousy.
They all hoped for a sister-in-law who could make their brother settle down and strive for success.
Watching Shen Junshan leave, the two brothers exchanged a glance; although Shen Junshan said the girl didn’t fancy him, they knew their own brother.
Once he truly sets his mind on marrying, it’s only a matter of time before he wins the beauty.
Yet they weren’t worried, but mother finding out might not necessarily be the same; they better not say anything.
After leaving the Jibei Marquis Mansion, Shen Junshan let out a long sigh, anger flashing in his eyes.
