17. Chapter 17

Shen Xinyan nodded, knowing that it must be the grandfather of the country who wanted to ask Mr. Xi Xi about his son's academic situation.

Speaking of which, the British duke did have high hopes for this eldest grandson, and he would ask Wei Chenglin about his studies every once in a while, and sometimes even taught him martial arts in person.

Fortunately, Wei Chenglin never let him down.

The mother and son were sitting opposite each other. Wei Chenglin had always been taciturn, but Shen Xinyan always had some thoughts about him left over from her previous life, so she just asked him about his basic necessities.

As soon as the two asked and answered, they quickly fell silent.

"Mother-do you think I look good?" Xiao Yingzhi, who had run into the inner room at some point, ran out of the room and ran up to her, looking up proudly in front of her. ask.

Shen Xinyan couldn't help but laughed out loud.

I saw the little girl pouting a "small mouth in the blood basin", with two rouge of different sizes on both cheeks. At first glance, she looked like a matchmaker in red and green in the market, and she was so happy that Shen Xinyan covered her stomach. Laugh all the time.

Even Wei Chenglin, who has always been calm, couldn't help laughing.

The little girl was displeased by her mother and brother's laughter. She stared at her mother, who had bent over, with her small mouth slumped, and then looked at her brother who turned his back and giggled.

"What is there to be happy about? Saying it makes me happy!" Hearing his wife's extremely happy laughter before entering the room, Wei Junhang's mood also jumped up unconsciously.

"Father!" As soon as the father who loved him the most came back, the little girl rushed over to hug him and complained like she was coquettish.

Wei Junhang habitually planned to bend down to hug his daughter, but when he met the little face that could no longer be seen, he was startled, and he took a step back unconsciously.

When the little girl saw it, she suddenly cried out with a "wow" aggrieved.

Shen Xinyan panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to coax her, but Wei Junhang moved faster than her, picked up her daughter first, and coaxed her heartily.

Xiaoyingzhi wiped her tears with her little hands, but she didn't want the rouge to be washed away by the tears. Her wiping immediately turned into a cat's face, making Shen Xinyan smile sullenly.

"Sister won't look good if she doesn't cry." When she finally managed to hold back her laughter and was about to step forward to join in coaxing her daughter, she unexpectedly saw her son holding a clean handkerchief for the little girl very gently Wipe away tears.

The little girl is not a crybaby, but it is rare to dress up so "beautiful". Not only did she not get praise from her parents, but she was also disliked by others. The thought of this made her feel extremely aggrieved.

Now that her father and brother were coaxing her from left to right, she gradually stopped crying and looked at her father with her big wet eyes, then looked at her brother, and finally, with a fleshy little arm, she put her arms around her brother's. Neck, buried his little face against his neck and kept rubbing.

"Eldest son, let the servants carry the Fourth Young Lady down and wash your face!" Chun Liu Ren, who heard the voice walking in, stepped forward with a smile.

"No need, I'll do it myself." Wei Chenglin shook his head, avoiding Chunliu's hand that wanted to hug his sister, and carried the little girl into the clean room in person.

"I didn't expect Brother Lin to be so gentle and considerate!" Wei Junhang sighed after seeing the figures of the brother and sister disappear behind the screen.

Shen Xinyan also agreed.

In two lifetimes, in addition to Zhou Wanning, this son of hers is also true to his close relatives, not to mention that he will hold his sister and wash her hands and face in person.

She remembered clearly that in her previous life, her daughter was not afraid of heaven and earth, but she was very afraid of her brother. Although it was not like a mouse seeing a cat, she would not take the initiative to get close to him unless it was absolutely necessary.

Like now, her parents are by her side, but she has never chosen to let her brother take her to wash her face with clean water.

Shen Xinyan suspected that it was because the sons of this life stayed in the main courtyard to accompany their mother and daughter more time? There seems to be no other reason besides this.

"I just saw Brother Qi in the garden, but I haven't seen him for a few days, why does my courage seem to be getting smaller and smaller?" Wei Junhang took a few sips of the hot tea served by Chunliu and said.

Shen Xinyan was sorting out the rouge gouache that had been messed up by her daughter in front of the dressing table. After hearing what he said, a thin and weak figure appeared in her mind.

Wei Chengqi is the posthumous son of the previous son Wei Junting. In Shen Xinyan's memory, he has always been a quiet, well-behaved but somewhat cowardly child.

Fang's wish for his son to become a dragon was eager to make his son inherit his father's excellence, and because there was a Wei Chenglin in the house who was full of praise from the elders, the discipline of Wei Chengqi became more and more severe, although not to the point of beating and scolding the child. However, the language was a little harsh, making Wei Chengqi, who was already timid, even more timid.

This has become an inextricable cycle.

The tighter the Fang's tube was, the more timid Wei Chengqi became. The more timid he was, the more dissatisfied Mr. Fang became, and the more restrictive he became.

However, Shen Xinyan didn't like Fang Shi, but she was quite envious of her.

Because, she has a son who will never betray her!

In the first year of her last life, when she was trapped in the family temple, Mrs. Fang took over the power in the imperial mansion and took action against Zhou Wanning in order to pave the way for her son, which finally angered Wei Chenglin, and was finally rectified by the thunderous Wei Chenglin to the point of losing her life. .

It was Wei Chengqi who exchanged her life and freedom at the cost of giving up everything she had in the Duke's Mansion.

At least, when Shen Xinyan died in the last life, Mrs. Fang lived well under the service of her son.

In that lifetime, her son was outstanding, young and promising, with a bright future, but what she got was that she was trapped in the second half of her life and died of madness.

Compared with Mrs. Fang, where is she actually better? They are also quite a failed mother!

"Brother Qi...is a good boy..." Shen Xinyan could only reply in the end.

Wei Junhang nodded in agreement, and then said helplessly, "It's just that the elder sister-in-law has to be stricter."

Shen Xinyan lowered her eyes, took the teapot to refill the tea for him, and said in a low voice, "It is inconvenient for my sister-in-law to be a mother, so we uncles and aunts are naturally even more difficult to say."

She pity Wei Chengqi, but she has no intention of asking for trouble for him. Wei Chengqi is an anti-scale of Fang's family, anyone who dares to touch it will die!

The most important thing is that she doesn't even know how to be a mother herself, and she has no qualifications to take care of other people's children.

Wei Junhang didn't know the truth, he just nodded and said, "When Brother Qi is older and move to the outer courtyard, I will hire a few martial arts masters for him, and I will be able to change my timid temperament if I want to come in contact with more people. "

Shen Xinyan just smiled and didn't answer him, but she didn't take it seriously.

Is it easy to move to the outer courtyard? You still underestimate your good sister-in-law!

"The third sister-in-law is pregnant. I want to go back to the uncle's mansion tomorrow, okay?" Shen Xinyan talked about the business.

The third sister-in-law in her mouth naturally refers to the sister-in-law of her parents' family.

"It happens that I have free time tomorrow, so let's go with my wife!" To her surprise, Wei Junhang offered to accompany her back.

"Thank you so much for the prince!" She was only stunned for a while and then smiled.

Although she has another purpose with her family tomorrow, it would be better if Wei Junhang could go, at least to show some people in her family her status in the government.

Early the next morning, taking advantage of the chance that their daughter was called away by the eldest princess, Shen Xinyan and Wei Junhang immediately ordered people to prepare carriages and horses and set off for Jing'anbo Mansion.

Jing'an's Mansion was not far from the British government's mansion, and it was only half an hour by carriage.

Today's Bo Jing An is the elder brother of Shen Xinyan's compatriot. The uncle Liang's and Shen Xinyan's relationship is not very good, and they don't like each other, but they can maintain their face. Until Shen Xinyan's luck suddenly became the wife of the crown prince's mansion, Liang's attitude towards her became a lot warmer.

Although Shen Xinyan didn't like Liang's sister-in-law, she still loved Shen Huiran, the daughter of Liang's family. Otherwise, she would never have wanted her to be her daughter-in-law in her previous life.

But when she saw this niece who she loved so dearly again in this life, her feelings were much more complicated. Among them, what was involved was the tragic death of her daughter Wei Yingzhi in her previous life.

In Wei Yingzhi's death, Erlang Zhou was the murderer, but Shen Huiran was the direct cause of her being killed by mistake. Although Shen Huiran chose to hang herself by hanging because of guilt in her last life, she still stabbed a thorn in Shen Xinyan's heart.

"Second aunt." Today's Shen Huiran is no more than a seven-year-old girl, and she is obediently and obediently coming to greet her under the guidance of adults.

Shen Xinyan smiled at her, but did not hug her as affectionately as before.

"But after a while, Hui'er has grown a lot taller."

Shen Huiran pursed her lips and evoked a shy smile.

"A few days ago, this girl was talking in my ear that I haven't seen my second aunt for a long time. I miss you very much. Now I can finally hope for you. I think I will have a clean ear for a while." Mrs. Liang became angry. The daughter glanced at her, smiled, stepped forward and held Shen Xinyan's hand affectionately.

"It's the aunt and nephew of the direct relative, why doesn't Hui'er also talk about the third aunt?" The woman's joking voice rang from the side, Shen Xinyan looked over, and recognized the person who spoke was her goal - Shen Xinlan .

"Hui'er also misses the third aunt." Shen Huiran was so young, she blushed first when she said this, and whispered a little uneasy.

"Okay, how old are you, and you still care about children." Second Mrs. Shen spat Shen Xinlan with a smile.

Shen Xinlan covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Let's hurry into the house, don't let mother wait for a long time." Liang said.

The sisters-in-law, sisters-in-law and sisters in this room walked towards Mrs. Jing An Botai with a smile, and Wei Junhang in the other room was also led in by the Jing An Bo brothers.

"Why don't you see the third sister-in-law?" Shen Xinyan asked on the way.

"What did she eat and vomit these days, and she didn't sleep well at night, and she felt a little sleepy just now after having some breakfast, so her mother asked her to go back to the house to rest first, and she must have not woken up yet! " Liang replied.
