Shen Mingzhu was taken aback. She felt that Chen Jin seemed to have something to say to her. Looking closer, she saw Chen Jin looking at her and pointing at Chen Yun, signaling her to go on and telling Shen Mingzhu not to worry.
"Do you know?" Chen Yun looked at Li Chengyu, with an unprecedented calmness in her eyes. "I can't even imagine that if I were to continue living in the Li family in the future, the moment I decided to marry you would be the cliff of my life. Since the day I married you, I've been falling."
Li Chengyu's face instantly turned deathly pale. He looked at Chen Yun, unable to say a word. He covered his chest and took a moment to regain his composure before continuing, "I've decided to split the family yesterday. By then, you won't have to pay respects to my mother anymore, and those people won't be able to bother you either."
Chen Yun was stunned for a moment. Then she looked at Li Chengyu. "So what? The grievances I've suffered before are enough to prove that you're not a reliable man. What if Mingzhu wasn't there yesterday? Would I have to swallow my anger again? And when I give birth to our child in the future, would I have to endure humiliation with the child as well?"
Li Chengyu's face grew paler and paler. His eyes looking at Chen Yun were full of regret.
"You can leave first."
Chen Yun said to Li Chengyu, "I don't want to see you today."
As Li Chengyu was about to say something else, he saw Chen Yun reach out and touch her belly. So he subconsciously held back all the words in his heart and said softly to her, "Okay, take good care of yourself."
"I'll trouble Your Highness to take good care of her."
Shen Mingzhu didn't like him. Just as she was about to continue speaking, she heard Chen Jin say, "No need. You don't have to say this to His Highness. After all, I'm going to take Chen Yun back later."
"How could the beloved daughter of the Chen family be left out in the cold?"
Li Chengyu's face turned white. He understood the meaning in Chen Jin's tone, but was then driven away by the impatient Chen Yun, who said, "Go back. I don't want to see you."
Li Chengyu took a deep look at Chen Yun for the last time before dragging his feet away.
"Now you know the lesson, right?"
Seeing Shen Mingzhu help Chen Yun to sit down on one side, Chen Jin looked at Chen Yun with disapproval. Thinking about how she had been living like this over the years, always reporting the good and hiding the bad from him, his anger suddenly flared up.
"Don't scold her."
Shen Mingzhu sighed.
Chen Jin suddenly shut up. He took a deep look at Shen Mingzhu but said nothing.
He had been staying outside the pass for all these years and hadn't been back to the capital for three years. Now seeing Shen Mingzhu and Chen Yun, he felt a sense of trance.
Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Chen Jin frowned and looked at Chen Yun, saying, "Tell me, how are you going to clean up this mess?"
Chen Yun and Chen Jin had been bickering since they were kids. Shen Mingzhu had never seen two people more like fighting cocks. They would start arguing as soon as they met.
But seeing Chen Yun return to her usual self, Shen Mingzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Watching the two bicker, she didn't notice that Chen Jin's eyes had been on her.
Chen Yun gritted her teeth. After the argument, she said to Chen Jin, "Brother, I want a divorce."
Thinking that Chen Jin would scold her, Chen Yun covered her face in self - abandonment after saying this. But unexpectedly, the person in front of her just glanced at her, as if relieved, and said to her, "Finally, you've finally said something sensible. If you told me you wanted to go back to the Chen family, I would really want to punch you in the head like I punched Li Chengyu just now to wake you up."
Chen Yun pouted unhappily and looked at Chen Jin, saying, "No matter how useless I am, I'm still better than you. Look, I'm about to get a divorce, but you still haven't married a wife."
Chen Jin: "..." Truly his own sister.
"… Pfft." Shen Mingzhu couldn't help laughing out loud. She covered her face to avoid their gazes and continued, "You guys go on."
"Your Highness." There was a bit of helplessness in Chen Jin's voice as he smiled. "Long time no see."
Hearing this, Shen Mingzhu came back to her senses. She concealed the faint smile on her face and looked at the person in front of her, saying, "Long time no see."
Chen Jin nodded slightly. Then he glanced at Chen Yun and continued, "I've brought gifts for both of you. I'll send them over after I've sorted them out."
"You ungrateful little thing. I just got back and heard about the mess in the Li family. I changed my clothes and came right away." As Chen Jin said this, Shen Mingzhu finally saw the dark circles under his eyes, and she couldn't help being stunned.
It's so nice that Chen Yun still has a brother.
The sadness in her heart flashed by. When Shen Mingzhu looked up again, she saw Chen Jin looking at her seriously and saying, "My place isn't in order yet today. If I take this useless little Chen Yun back, she'll definitely cry again. Then the baby in her belly will feel uncomfortable."
Although he said he was worried about the baby in her belly, Chen Jin's eyes were always on Chen Yun, with a bit of helplessness but also full of concern.
"I'll have to trouble Your Highness to take her in for a few days."
Hearing this, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help laughing softly and continued, "It's not really taking her in. If Yunyun is willing, she can live with me all the time."
Then Shen Mingzhu said to Chen Jin, "Why don't you go back first? I'll watch over here. You can come and see Yunyun after you've taken a rest."
Chen Jin took a deep look at Shen Mingzhu. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice from the door.
"What? Who is this honored guest today?"
Xie Lang had just returned and saw a handsome man standing beside Shen Mingzhu. The man's temperament was somewhat similar to his own. Instantly, his heart skipped a beat, and he almost couldn't maintain his playboy disguise.
He took a few steps forward and stood beside Shen Mingzhu, leaning on her as if she were a wooden stake. Then he looked at Chen Jin and smiled, "Who is this?"
[Where did this wild man come from! Don't think I can't tell! His eyes are almost glued to Shen Mingzhu!]
[I'm so angry! I'm so angry!]
Shen Mingzhu: "…"
It's not that serious. It's not that serious.
Originally, her relationship with Chen Jin was just ordinary, not as close as with Chen Yun. She only remembered that he had a very sharp tongue, but he had restrained himself a bit in front of her because of Chen Yun.
"I'm Chen Jin." Chen Jin smiled. His eyes looking at Xie Lang were full of meaning as he said, "You must be the famous Young Master Xie Lang of the capital?"
Xie Lang didn't have a good reputation.
Hearing this, Shen Mingzhu looked at Chen Jin in surprise. She saw that his eyes looking at Xie Lang were full of disapproval. She looked at the person in front of her and said, "Yes, this is my husband, Xie Lang."
Xie Lang proudly echoed, "Indeed, I'm her husband."
The last two words seemed to leak out from between his teeth, and he enunciated them especially heavily, making Shen Mingzhu laugh and cry.
[Tsk, this Chen Jin is Chen Yun's brother? He doesn't look like a good person at first sight. He must have some bad intentions towards Shen Mingzhu.]
Shen Mingzhu hesitated for a moment and planned to explain to Xie Lang later that Chen Jin really didn't have any special feelings for her. But when she looked up at Chen Jin, she met his deep and solemn eyes.
Shen Mingzhu was slightly taken aback.
