Free Web NovelChapter 1295: Chapter 1294: Shen Yunlong’s Change in Attitude
"Young master." She lowered her head, not having the slightest courage to meet Shen Yunlong’s eyes.
"Has Rushuang gotten up?" Shen Yunlong asked.
"The young lady has already gotten up." The maid nodded as she spoke.
Shen Yunlong gave a soft "mm" and instructed, "You go busy yourself with other things first."
"Yes." The maid understood that Shen Yunlong must have something to discuss with Shen Rushuang, but what puzzled her was why he was looking for Shen Rushuang so early in the morning. Could it be he was worried the young lady wouldn’t behave and would sneak out?
Shen Yunlong naturally didn’t know what the little maid was thinking, and of course he didn’t care. He took a deep breath and walked toward Shen Rushuang’s room.
At this moment, Shen Rushuang was sitting in front of a bronze mirror. As the number-one beauty of Tianshui City, Shen Rushuang naturally cared about her looks, so every morning when she got up, the very first thing she did was dress herself up and maintain her image.
"Have you finished drawing the water?" Shen Rushuang noticed the footsteps behind her but did not turn around. freewёbnoνel.com
"It’s me." Shen Yunlong said.
Shen Rushuang turned her head in surprise. Seeing it was Shen Yunlong, she said in astonishment, "Brother, why is it you?"
Shen Yunlong tugged at the corner of his mouth, his smile tinged with bitterness, and said, "What, you’re not welcoming me?"
"Brother, what’s wrong with you? Did you not sleep well last night?" Shen Rushuang looked at Shen Yunlong’s haggard face and frowned as she asked.
Shen Yunlong sighed, looked at Shen Rushuang, and asked, "Rushuang, tell me honestly, are you so eager to see Su Changfeng because you’ve fallen for him?"
Shen Rushuang frowned, not quite understanding what Shen Yunlong meant. Could it be that he had come over so early in the morning just for this?
But she still explained, "Brother, I told you before, I’m looking for Su Changfeng only because I want to figure out his true identity, that’s all." Shen Rushuang said.
"Silly girl, if he really is a master and chose to hide his identity, how could he casually tell you? If you want to get to the bottom of what’s going on, you must think of other ways." Shen Yunlong said.
Shen Rushuang felt even more puzzled. All along, Shen Yunlong had been unwilling to believe her, thinking she was overthinking things. Yet his attitude now was completely different: not only did he believe what she said, he even seemed to be planning to help her think of a way.
"Brother, did something happen? I can’t shake the feeling you’re acting strange." Shen Rushuang asked.
"Nothing. I’ve just seen you so absent-minded all this time and worried something would happen to you, so I might as well let you investigate properly. That way you can give up if it turns out to be nothing." Shen Yunlong said.
Shen Rushuang was slightly stunned, then said excitedly, "Brother, so you’re willing to let me go see Su Changfeng?"
"If I’m not willing, who knows what you’d do. I really don’t want to see you keep going on like this." Shen Yunlong sighed helplessly, as if he was reluctantly giving in.
Hearing this, Shen Rushuang was especially happy. She absolutely had to see Su Changfeng, so she had still been racking her brain for a way. She hadn’t expected Shen Yunlong to take the initiative to loosen his stance, and she finally felt relieved.
"Brother, thank you." Shen Rushuang said joyfully.
"But don’t forget what I said: if Su Changfeng really has been hiding his strength, he won’t necessarily tell you easily." Shen Yunlong said.
"Brother, then do you have a good idea?" Shen Rushuang asked.
"I think we should let Su Changfeng return to the Shen Family. After all, he’s already married to you in name; letting him stay outside all the time is inappropriate, and if it drags on it’ll be bad for the Shen Family too. As for what happened before, let’s put it all behind us." Shen Yunlong said.
Let Su Changfeng return to the Shen Family? Shen Yunlong was actually taking the initiative to acknowledge that they were married—Shen Rushuang truly hadn’t expected that. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
You had to know, in the vast Shen Family, let alone Shen Yunlong, probably even the Shen Family’s servants had never acknowledged Su Changfeng’s status. For no apparent reason, why would Shen Yunlong’s attitude suddenly change?
Feeling bewildered, Shen Rushuang asked, "Brother, what’s wrong with you? Weren’t you the one who hated Su Changfeng the most?"
"It’s just that you’ve been acting too abnormal lately. I’m afraid if you keep going like this something will happen to you, so I might as well grant your wish." After saying this, Shen Yunlong paused for a moment and continued, "Right now, this is the only way. If you treat Su Changfeng with genuine feeling, he’ll naturally sense it, and then he’ll be willing to tell you the truth."
Although there was nothing wrong with what Shen Yunlong said, Shen Rushuang still found it unbelievable. This version of Shen Yunlong felt utterly unfamiliar to her.
"Brother, did you discover something?" Shen Rushuang asked.
Shen Yunlong smiled calmly, looking extremely helpless, and only after sighing did he say, "What could I have discovered? Father is the one who asked me to say this to you. Think about how you’ve been this whole time—you nearly scared Father to death. I really had no choice but to agree."
Shen Rushuang pouted. She naturally knew she had been acting far too abnormal recently, but she really couldn’t control it. As long as she thought of Wang Junyi’s words, her emotions would slip out of her control.
"Brother, it’s all my fault. I must have frightened you all." Shen Rushuang looked at him, full of guilt.
Shen Yunlong walked up to Shen Rushuang and spoke earnestly, "It’s alright. You’re my little sister, after all. I’ve thought a lot about it these days. Simply stopping you by force might not be a good thing, so if you want to get to the bottom of it, then go ahead and do so. But don’t forget, you must move him with your feelings. Only then will he sense your affection and tell you the truth."
"Brother, I understand, but if it turns out in the end that I guessed wrong, what then?" Shen Rushuang asked.
Guessed wrong?
Shen Yunlong really hoped she had guessed wrong, but judging from what had happened yesterday, Su Changfeng should indeed be a master. Even if he was unwilling to admit it, facts were facts; how could they simply refuse to acknowledge them just because they wanted to?
On the surface, however, Shen Yunlong still remained unruffled and said helplessly, "Whether you guessed right or not, your happiness is what matters most. So however you plan to deal with Su Changfeng afterwards, we won’t interfere."
"Brother, really? You’re just too good to me. I knew you were the one who doted on me the most." Completely unaware that she was being used, Shen Rushuang was immersed in the happiness she thought she had found.
No longer confined, Shen Rushuang, once Shen Yunlong left, couldn’t wait any longer to go see Su Changfeng. After all, she had nearly gone mad over this these past days. This matter was too important, both to her and to the Shen Family, so she had to hurry and get to the truth.
Leaving the Shen Family, Shen Rushuang followed the maid and headed straight toward Su Changfeng’s small courtyard.
Shen Family.
Shen Yunlong arrived at Shen Yaowen’s study and reported everything that had just happened to Shen Yaowen.
"Whether we can salvage this matter now all depends on Rushuang’s ability. I only hope she can succeed. Otherwise, I can’t even imagine what future the Shen Family will have!" Shen Yaowen let out a long sigh.
