Mi primer marido después de la transmigración

Capítulo 114

There seemed to be no doubt about this, and Nineteen raised his head and smiled slightly.

Her smile was purer than the winter sun. Shen Yun felt ashamed and turned his head slightly away, unable to understand Tianxiu's feelings at that time.

"I'm not worthy to be your friend." That's what Tianxiu said to Shijiu back then.

Shen Yuntan tightened his grip on Nineteen's hand and a smile appeared on his lips: as long as he could protect this purity forever, he would be worthy to be with Nineteen.

The world is filthy, but with him blocking it, all that Nineteen can see is light.

Including Shen Yuntan, who is known for his brilliance.

Chapter Seventy-Three: The End (Part Two)

The sun was shining warmly, and with New Year's Eve fast approaching, every household was bustling with activity. Tang Shijiu specially prepared some dumpling wrappers and fillings, wrapping them one by one to eat that evening.

However, Shen Yun's expression was not very warm.

"Nineteen, I need to tell you something. The main hall of the Tang family was burned down last night. Tang Diku was found dead in the hall, and Tang Diruo is missing. Apart from Tang Chongli, who is also missing, none of the young members of the third generation of the Tang family have survived." His face was hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see his features. "Someone beat us to it and came seeking revenge."

Tang Shijiu, her hands covered in flour, suddenly looked up, her heart suddenly empty. Her original plan to go to the Tang Clan to demand an explanation and then kidnap her father and run away had suddenly fallen through, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

"What?! How many enemies have they made?" Tang Shijiu asked anxiously. "That...that Tang...um..."

“Your father’s estate is very well hidden, so it should be fine.” Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to call him “father” for the time being, Shen Yun smiled knowingly, then his expression turned serious. “This time, it seems to have been done by someone from the Tang Clan themselves. The fire started from the inside, first blowing up the Tang Clan’s Thunderfire Treasury, which is why it was able to burn so thoroughly. If it weren’t one of their own, they wouldn’t have known so clearly and acted so precisely.”

"Could it be Tang Chongli?" Nineteen blurted out, then thought of that bright and willful woman, and pouted, "Probably not..."

"How could you not? You can know a person's face but not their heart. How do you know that her heart is as innocent as it seems?" Shen Yuntan hadn't forgotten how some pure and innocent girls who knew nothing had almost taken advantage of him.

"Uh, actually I want to say that she probably doesn't have the brains for it." Nineteen said honestly, "That person, well, is missing something in her brain. I doubt she could pull off such a complicated plan as burning down the Tang Clan."

Shen Yuntan couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to ruffle her black hair: "How dare the most brainless person talk about others?"

Tang Shijiu blinked and smiled ambiguously, "Young Master Shenyin, Miss Tang Chongli is deeply in love with you."

Shen Yuntan went along with her words, saying, "That's right, much better than you, you ungrateful little brat."

Tang Shijiu flashed a gleaming white smile: "What did you say?"

"It's nothing, I was just afraid you'd put croton seeds in my food." He reached out and pinched her nose, teasing her for using such a despicable trick to disrupt someone's wedding back then.

"Tian Hou'er tells you everything..." Nineteen objected, "Laugh all you want, whatever!"

"Actually, I've wanted to tell you for a while now. That was a really brilliant move," Shen Yun said with a wicked smile. "I'll try it next time Tianxiu gets married."

Nineteen remained silent. Although she knew that Tianxiu and Tianshu were the same person, she still couldn't completely connect the two. If it were the real Tianxiu, that ever-smiling, womanizing scoundrel, he would never have done something as heinous as killing Tang Yu, or even forced Tang Yu to be disfigured.

“If it weren’t for Tian Shu, Tang Yu would probably be dead by now.” Shen Yuntan clearly saw through her thoughts and said calmly, “Tang Yu’s life was saved by Tian Shu. Even if we take it back, we can’t say anything.”

“Nineteen, even if you don’t kill Tianshu, Tianxiu will die sooner or later. Tianshu’s control is much stronger, and he will gradually devour Tianxiu’s consciousness.” He added ruthlessly, “Tianshu hates you to the bone and will definitely not let you go. I remember, Tianxiu always told you that no matter who he hurts, he wanted you to live well.”

No matter what happens, you must live well.

Tianxiu's intention was actually to kill Tianxiu and then live a good life.

Tears welled up in her eyes. Shen Yun sighed. This woman, who called herself the boss every day, actually cried a lot.

Tang Shijiu bit her lower lip and picked up the dumpling plate: "Wait here, I'll make you some dumplings."

The plump, round dumplings were soon served. The inn they were staying at was quite remote, so the waiter and the owner also joined in at the table, eating together in the hot food.

Shen Yuntan picked up a plump dumpling, took a bite, and frowned: "Nineteen is too careless, how come there's a copper coin in the dumpling filling?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the boss, the waiter, and Tang Shijiu clapped their hands at the same time.

Tang Shijiu laughed and said, "The spittoon is really lucky. There was only one copper coin in it, and you got to eat it on the first bite! Here's some New Year's money, New Year's money!"

The boss and his staff congratulated him, saying, "This gentleman is a blessed man; he will surely have great fortune next year!" They all reached out to ask for good luck.

Shen Yuntan looked bewildered, staring at the copper coins in his hand, unsure of what to do.

Why do we have to pay money if we find a copper coin?

Everyone was stunned. After a long while, Nineteen said, "Spittoon, haven't you ever eaten dumplings during the New Year?"

Shen Yuntan shook his head: "Is there some other reason?"

Of course, there were rules. Every New Year's Eve, she would put copper coins in the dumplings, and the monkeys of Xiaoyao Manor would eat their fill, seeing who could find the most copper coins and who would have good fortune in the coming year. The lively scene of previous years seemed to be right before her eyes, but most of the people of Xiaoyao Manor were gone.

After explaining for a while, Shen Yuntan finally understood a little and smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, everyone, I don't understand this." He hurriedly took out some loose silver from his pocket and distributed it to everyone present.

Everyone was taken aback when they saw that the loose silver didn't even have a purse.

The shopkeeper, having seen many customers, boasted of his extensive experience: "You customers must be from other countries. During the Lunar New Year, lucky money should be wrapped in a purse for good fortune."

Shen Yuntan, quick-witted, readily accepted the situation: "Yes, yes, I don't understand again."

Everyone was happy, and Shen Yun was the most cheerful. Tang Shijiu looked at him but remained silent.

It turns out he had never celebrated the Spring Festival, no one had ever shared a New Year's Eve reunion dinner with him, no one had ever put copper coins in his dumplings, and no one had ever given him lucky money.

Tianxiu has Zinu, Tianshu has Tangyu, and even Tianxiu and Tianshu have each other.

But he has always been alone.

More lonely than Tianxiu and Tianshu.

Shen Yun laughed and chatted heartily, seemingly unconcerned about the awkward moment. Tang Shijiu felt a pang of sadness; it turned out he also enjoyed being with everyone.
