I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

After removing the eye makeup, a few similar eyebrows and eyes were revealed in front of her, and Fu Yushu smiled excitedly.

Hug Dieyi tightly.

She said excitedly: "Dieyi, it's great to have you!"

Dieyi: ???

I was completely confused and had no idea why my sister-in-law was suddenly excited.

Fu Yushu did not explain. After hugging Dieyi, she returned to the upper room with a happy face and waited for Mu Shaoheng to come back from the palace to share the good news.

Dieyi touched her ruined makeup and had no choice but to go back to the house and put on makeup again.

Unexpectedly, after more than half an hour, when she had finally put on her makeup again and was about to walk out of the room and out of the courtyard, she actually came towards Mu Shaoheng and his wife.

"Brother Wang, Sister Wang."

Dieyi went forward to greet him.

At this time, Mu Shaoheng did not avoid suspicion at all. He took a big step and stood in front of Dieyi, only half a step away from her body.

This distance...

Too close!

Completely shorter than normal social distance!

When Dieyi was looking puzzled, she saw Mu Shaoheng pinching her chin again and staring at her eyebrows carefully.

I stared for a while, but couldn't see anything.

Later, Mu Shaoheng put his arm around her shoulders and led her into the house.

Dieyi: ...

What's going on with this sudden closeness?

Back in the main room, Mu Shaoheng held her shoulders and pushed her into the armchair.

At this time, Fu Yusu handed over a...wet wipe.

Dieyi looked nervous at the sight. Was he going to wipe off her makeup again?

He guessed it right. Mu Shaoheng picked it up and wiped it on Dieyi's eyes.

Dieyi cried out in her heart, help! She was in a hurry to go out for an appointment!

Today, Uncle San specially asked for a day off from the Ministry of Revenue to accompany her shopping and choose things to prepare for the wedding.

As a result, Mu Shaoheng not only wiped off her eye makeup, but also removed all the makeup on her entire face, and in an instant she became a little girl with no makeup on.

Dieyi: ...

Uh, well, I have to put on my makeup again!

At this moment, Dieyi suddenly noticed that the look in Mu Shaoheng's eyes when he looked at her was full of love and warmth.

Although she had returned to her ancestral home for more than half a year, this was the first time that Mu Shaoheng looked at her with such eyes.

——To be honest, no matter how well Mu Shaoheng treated her in the past, there was always a sense of "being superior and doing favors to her".

——But today, it’s completely different from the past, as if only today did I truly realize that she is my younger sister.

This strange feeling made Dieyi stunned.

In fact, this was not the first time she had a similar feeling. She had already felt it once yesterday when Mu Shaoheng took her to sit in the pavilion to paint.

In particular, when they parted yesterday, Mu Shaoheng touched the back of her head.

But today I feel it even worse.

When Dieyi was immersed in Mu Shaoheng's gaze, Mu Shaoheng suddenly called the servant: "Go, call all the painters in the mansion to come to me."

Dieyi: ???

Don't you want to draw it again?

It's really time to draw it again.

However, this time, before the servant could go and call for help, Fu Yushu said with a smile, "Brother Shao Heng, why bother the painter? You two can sit side by side and I will paint."

Fu Yushu was good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his painting skills were quite good.

Mu Shaoheng smiled and nodded: "Very good, it will be more meaningful if you draw it."

Soon, all the painting supplies including brushes, ink, paper, inkstone, cinnabar and drawing board were placed on the table.

"Brother Shao Heng, please sit next to Dieyi." After Fu Yushuo sat down, he instructed Mu Shao Heng.

This "next to" refers to the brother and sister sitting at the same time, with a high table between them.

Dieyi also thought this was the way to go.

Unexpectedly, Mu Shaoheng did not do so. Instead, he squatted behind Dieyi and rested his chin on Dieyi's shoulder... The brother and sister's heads were close to each other.

Such an intimate posture made Dieyi feel even more strange.

However, she was naturally happy that her brother was willing to be close to her. Which child who had been wandering outside since childhood... would not like to be close to relatives?

When Fu Yushu saw this, she smiled knowingly.

Pick up the paintbrush and start copying.

A quarter of an hour later, a pair of siblings appeared vividly on the drawing paper, a pair of close siblings. There was a resemblance between their eyebrows, especially their eyes, which were exactly the same.

Mu Shaoheng leaned over to take a look, then smiled with satisfaction and said, "Shu'er, it has to be you!" Much better than those painters!

Fu Yushu just smiled at Mu Shaoheng's face. Seeing her man's heart and eyes filled with endless joy and excitement, she also became happy.

Her eyes and eyebrows formed beautiful crescent shapes when she smiled.

Dieyi also came over to look and said with a smile, "Yeah, today's is very similar."

Holding the portrait of herself and her brother with their heads touching, Dieyi also felt inexplicably excited.

At this moment, Mu Shaoheng just thought she was extremely cute and couldn't help but reach out and touch her head.

The moment the big hand touched her, Dieyi was slightly stunned, then she raised her little face and smiled sweetly at Mu Shaoheng.

At this moment, a long-lost sense of intimacy quietly flowed between the brother and sister.

Fu Yushu saw this from the side and felt very warm.

~

In one morning, Dieyi put on makeup three times. When she finished the last time and went out, it was already noon.

I was late for an hour and a half (three hours)!

"Princess, will Master Fu (Third Uncle) still be waiting in the teahouse?" a big maid asked in a doubtful whisper.

Dieyi fastened her cloak, smoothed the hood at the back, and laughed loudly:

"Of course!"

"Don't even mention a mere hour and a half. Uncle San will wait even for three and a half hours."

He said it with extraordinary confidence.

Another maid laughed and said, "Yes, let alone a mere hour and a half, I would wait even for a whole day and a night."

"Of course." Dieyi put on her hood, lifted her skirt, and went out with three maids.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the group reached the gate, Dieyi saw a familiar figure standing in front of the stone lion outside the gate, looking at her with a smile on his face.

If it’s not Uncle San, then who else could it be?

It turned out that Fu Xiaozhen had been waiting in the teahouse for more than an hour, but Dieyi didn't show up, so he took the initiative to come to the Mu Mansion.

"Third Uncle——" Dieyi immediately lifted her skirt and trotted over.

Fu Xiaozhen opened his arms and caught her.

"How long have you been waiting?" Dieyi felt the man was cold and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Not long ago, just got here." Fu Xiaozhen said with a smile.

But he was betrayed by the chief guard beside him: "Princess, Master Fu has been waiting here for an hour."

An hour?

so long?

Dieyi scolded distressedly: "Why are you so stupid? Why don't you come in and sit down? My wife Wang is your niece, why are you still being polite to us?"

Being polite?

Of course I'm not being polite.

Mu Shaoheng is now Fu Xiaozhen's brother-in-law. As relatives, the more frequently they visit each other, the closer their relationship becomes. How could he be so polite as to not even enter the door?

He didn't let the guard inform him because he thought Dieyi would come out soon, so he wanted to wait quietly and not put pressure on Dieyi.

Hearing this, Dieyi poked his forehead with her finger and scolded him with a smile: "You are so stupid!"

"I wasn't stupid before, but I became stupid since I met you." Fu Xiaozhen whispered in her ear with a smile.

Dieyi: ???

Is this a love talk?

When Dieyi reacted, she suddenly felt a sense of joy as if "the scenes in the storybook had come into reality".

Sure enough, there is no woman in love who doesn't like to hear sweet words. Dieyi gently hit the man's chest to hide her inner shyness and sweetness.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Fu Xiaozhen noticed a pair of cold eyes staring at him.

Following that line of sight, he saw a young man in a black cloak standing behind the screen, staring at him with a pair of cold eyes.

"Who is that young man?" Fu Xiaozhen couldn't help but ask Dieyi.

Dieyi looked back and frowned, saying with disdain: "He's a piece of stinky shit, don't bother with him."

After saying that, Dieyi took Fu Xiaozhen's arm and they walked towards the carriage side by side intimately.

It turned out that the young man was none other than the old lady’s nephew Shen Yixiao.

The medicines prescribed by several imperial doctors were extremely effective. Today, the festering pimples on my body have basically disappeared and I can get out of bed and walk around.

On the first day he was able to walk, he was thinking about visiting Dieyi. Even if Dieyi refused to let him into the courtyard, it would be nice to be able to see Dieyi occasionally outside the gate.

Unexpectedly, my luck was so good that I met the fairy-like Dieyi from afar as soon as I went out.

So, I followed him all the way to the gate.

Then, a heart-wrenching scene was seen - Dieyi threw herself into the arms of another man.

"Dieyi, you can only belong to me!" Shen Yixiao gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

You know, since he was a child, there has never been a woman he has taken a fancy to that he has missed. No matter who the woman is or what her background is, as long as he likes her, he must get her.

Well, the main reason why Shen Yixiao was able to succeed time and time again was that in the southwest, apart from the Southwest Mu Mansion, the most powerful group was the old lady's family (relatives by marriage).

As a noble son of the old lady's family, Shen Yixiao naturally gets what he wants and can get any woman he wants.

But is it still the same as before? Can everything still go smoothly?

Obviously not.

But Shen Yixiao couldn't see the situation clearly and thought that as long as the old lady nodded, he would be able to marry Dieyi.

"Aunt is such a fool. She clearly promised to marry Dieyi to me last time, but several days have passed and she still hasn't kept her promise!"

After Fu Xiaozhen and Dieyi got on the carriage and left, Shen Yixiao clenched his fists and complained bitterly.

After complaining, Shen Yixiao decided to go to the old lady's yard in person to urge the progress.

As a result, let alone seeing the old lady, I couldn’t even enter the yard!

——I saw a circle of guards with swords surrounding the yard, guarding the yard as solid as a rock. Not to mention a big man like Shen Yixiao, even a fly would not be able to fly in.

Seeing this, Shen Yixiao was shocked: "Aunt, aunt, what's wrong with you?"

Naturally, no one answered from inside, because the old lady's mouth had already been blocked with a handkerchief, and her whole body was tied to the beauty couch, unable to move at all.

Only at mealtime would she pull out her handkerchief and speak.

Therefore, Shen Yixiao could not wait for the old lady's response, but was chased away by the guards with swords:

"Go, go, cousin. The old lady has been feeling unwell lately and won't see anyone."

After saying that, he pushed Shen Yixiao, causing him to stagger and almost fall on his back.

"Whose orders are you following? Princess?" Shen Yi said angrily with a smile, "Just wait for me, I'm going to complain to the prince!"

A mere princess actually dared to confine her mother-in-law to her home. This was truly outrageous!

Shen Yi smiled and said he would complain then, and hurried to Mu Shaoheng's study to report Fu Yushu.

Well, the result is predictable...

Mu Shaoheng glanced at him indifferently and said with a look of disdain: "Shen Yixiao, the princess is pregnant, it is not appropriate for you to appear in the upper room with your syphilis. Don't come here again."

Shen Yi smiled: ???

"No, cousin, the princess really went too far. She actually sent people to seal off my aunt's yard..."

Hearing this, Mu Shaoheng interrupted coldly:

"It has nothing to do with the princess. It's because my mother is ill. The imperial physician said she needs to rest and no one is allowed to disturb her. Especially no one is allowed to disturb her, especially you who are so noisy. That's why I specially sealed the gate to the courtyard."

"Once mother recovers, everything will return to normal."

After saying that, Mu Shaoheng no longer wanted to pay attention to Shen Yixiao and directly asked the servant to see the guest off.

After Shen Yixiao left, Fu Yushu came out from the inner room of the study and asked worriedly, "Brother Shao Heng, won't you confine Master Shen?"

Wouldn't it be bad if he spread some nonsense to the southwest?

Mu Shaoheng smiled and held his wife's hand, comforting her:

"I'm just waiting for him to pass the message back to the southwest. I can't move rashly against the old lady's family unless they lose their composure and stir up some trouble."

After hearing this, Fu Yushu understood.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yixiao did not care about the old lady as much as they expected. He monitored her for three days and three nights but did not pass on a single note or message.

According to the servant serving in Luotong Courtyard, Shen Yixiao had never worried about the old lady at all. He thought that the old lady was really ill and was recuperating in seclusion in the courtyard.

Mu Shaoheng and Fu Yushu: …

I am really speechless about Shen Yixiao.

The contempt and disdain in my heart increased.

However, Shen Yixiao did not take any action, but Mu Shaoheng has been constantly taking action in the past few days.

Among them, Mu Shaoheng was most concerned about his own life experience, so he sent five trusted servants back to the southwest overnight to thoroughly investigate the concubines in the mansion who were pregnant at the same time as the old lady.

Soon, the answer came.

At that time, there was only one person who was pregnant at the same time - Concubine Shao.

Concubine Shao was the first to diagnose the pregnancy, and half a month later, the old lady also announced that she was pregnant.

During the delivery, the two people were born only one hour apart, one in front of the other.

But Concubine Shao gave birth to a stillborn baby, the baby boy died just after landing. The old lady gave birth to Mu Shaoheng.

Upon learning this information, Mu Shaoheng suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Shu'er, tell me, could I be... Concubine Shao's son?"

Mu Shaoheng's hand holding Fu Yushuo's was trembling slightly. Concubine Shao was his "number one enemy" back then.

Now it is very likely that she is his biological mother. How can he forgive himself?

Back then, before Concubine Shao rescued him from drowning in the pond, the seven-year-old Mu Shaoheng once hid in the rockery and secretly attacked Concubine Shao with stones, leaving a permanent scar on her cheek.

Although the scar is small, it still affects the appearance.

However, Mu Shaoheng, who was only seven years old at the time, was complacent, like a victorious general, and was happy for half a year.

"Shu'er, I, I..."

Mu Shaoheng buried his head in Fu Yushu's arms in pain.

Fu Yushu didn't know how to comfort her man for a moment.

All I can say is that the old lady was too cruel. She actually secretly alienated her own flesh and blood - making Concubine Shao and her own flesh and blood hostile to each other and kill each other.
