Chapter 659: Cuscuta Cousin 23
Two days later.
As the time for Fu Shirui to enter the palace approached, Duke Fu’s Mansion held a family dinner that day.
Sheng Huan changed into suitable clothes and headed towards the front hall on time in the afternoon.
"cousin."
Unexpectedly, he ran into Fu Jingzhou who was returning home on the way.
"Third cousin." Sheng Huan saw him and the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Fu Jingzhou smiled gently: "My cousin is going to the front hall."
Sheng Huan nodded: "The time for the family dinner is almost here."
"That's right." Fu Jingzhou turned slightly and said, "If my cousin doesn't mind, I'll go with you."
Sheng Huan was amused by his words. When she shook her head, her dimples slightly blossomed, like a newly blooming pear blossom:
"Okay."
The two of them walked along the way. Fu Jingzhou, as expected of a top scholar with high emotional intelligence, kept chatting with people intentionally or unintentionally, and the atmosphere was not dull.
As the two were talking, they saw Fu Jinmo in the distance. It was obvious that Fu Jinmo was also heading to the front hall.
"Brother." Fu Jingzhou's smile deepened and he called out.
The person opposite raised his eyes, frowned, and swept his eyes over Sheng Huan and Fu Jingzhou calmly.
Fu Jingzhou didn't notice. He glanced at Sheng Huan and said, "Cousin, I just happened to meet my elder brother. How about we go over there and go the same way as him?"
Sheng Huan looked at the main hall in the same direction in silence. Even though they were taking different routes, they had to go the same way. She nodded slightly.
The two of them went over together.
"Brother, what a coincidence." Fu Jingzhou was talking to Fu Jinmo.
Sheng Huan stood beside Fu Jingzhou, lowered his eyes, and said with a little discomfort: "My cousin, the prince."
She shouted once and then stopped talking.
Fu Jinmo looked at her. The woman pursed her lips and, intentionally or unintentionally, hid beside Fu Jingzhou, as if she wanted to use his tall stature to isolate herself from Fu Jinmo.
Fu Jinmo felt upset when he saw this.
"Come on, brother. We are going the same way."
"Yeah." Fu Jinmo nodded, with a look of low pressure on his brows.
Fu Jingzhou didn't notice anything at this moment. He walked in the middle, sometimes looking at Sheng Huan, sometimes talking to Fu Jinmo, not ignoring anyone and was very busy.
"Third brother, you dropped something."
Fu Jinmo suddenly spoke.
"My stuff?" Fu Jingzhou turned around quickly, then lowered his head: "No."
A not-too-cold wind blew past his eyes, and Fu Jinmo said coldly: "Take a closer look."
"Oh, it's true." Fu Jingzhou saw a thumb-sized sugar bag in the distance and walked over quickly.
Sheng Huan also stopped and stood there waiting for someone.
But suddenly, a shadow pressed down on her.
She looked up subconsciously and found that Fu Jinmo was very close to her, almost only one step away.
"My cousin, the prince..." Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she subconsciously stepped back.
The man looked at her and asked, "What's dirty on me?"
A dark color flashed across his eyes for a moment.
She was stunned and shook her head quickly: "No, no."
Fu Jinmo took a step forward and stared at him: "Then why are you hiding?"
The woman's breathing was tense, and confusion and helplessness flashed across her porcelain-like face: "I... I didn't."
She held the handkerchief tightly in her hands.
“No need to hide.”
The man's voice was very low. The woman looked over, thinking she had misheard, and wanted to confirm.
But at this moment, Fu Jingzhou, who had picked up the candy, raised his eyes and saw this scene. He looked at his elder brother, then glanced at his little cousin, his gentle eyes flashing slightly.
He shook his head, thinking it might be his illusion.
"Brother, cousin."
Fu Jingzhou walked over quickly. He had a feeling that something was wrong with his elder brother, so he wanted to get in between the two of them, but to his surprise, he couldn't get in at all.
"cousin."
Fu Jingzhou looked at his cousin who was blinking at him with those wet eyes, looking particularly pitiful and innocent like a little lamb about to be deceived, and was about to speak.
Fu Jinmo suddenly raised his eyes and said coldly, "It's the same as the one next to it."
Fu Jingzhou suddenly felt a very heavy pressure coming from his elder brother and suddenly froze.
As a result, the final result was that Sheng Huan stood in the middle, with two men, one cold and one hot, beside him.
As she walked, she took small steps and unconsciously got closer to Fu Jingzhou.
Fu Jinmo didn't say anything, but he applied a little more force to his finger bones.
Furong and Changji, who were following not far behind the three of them, both felt that this scene was a bit strange.
Chang Ji looked at the pink figure in the middle, then looked at his own prince. He felt that the prince's more unpredictable emotions in recent days seemed to be because of - his cousin.
Sheng Huan had no idea what Chang Ji was thinking. After walking for a while, he finally reached the main hall.
"Master, Third Young Master, Cousin, you are here."
The servant bowed.
When they reached the curtain, Fu Jingzhou, who was walking beside Sheng Huan, stretched out his hand to block the pendant for Sheng Huan.
Sheng Huan smiled faintly: "Thank you, third cousin."
"You're welcome. Come in."
Fu Jingzhou smiled considerately, but he always felt as if he was being stared at. He subconsciously looked for him and saw Fu Jinmo beside him, who seemed to be retracting his hand.
"Brother?" He wondered, was his brother trying to... block the falling curtain? Or was he seeing things again?
Fu Jinmo didn't explain anything, just glanced at him and walked straight in.
Fu Jingzhou looked at his elder brother following behind his cousin, and an idea suddenly came to his mind, but... he suppressed it.
illusion!

The atmosphere of the family dinner is very heavy.
But no one brought up any serious topics; everyone was just talking about family matters, and it was lively.
Fu Shirui was smiling the whole time, as if she didn't have any heavy emotions.
Sheng Huan glanced at her and calmly picked up her favorite dish for her.
Fu Shirui's eyes turned red in an instant.
"Cousin, from now on, I will protect you and make sure no one dares to bully you. I will find you a perfect husband!"
When the others looked over, Sheng Huan blushed instantly, and picked up another chicken leg for Fu Shirui, holding back his reluctance and smiling: "Don't worry about me, cousin, I will be fine, and no one dares to bully me."
"You too, be well."
"I will!" Fu Shirui hugged Sheng Huan: "I will!"
The two sisters have a good relationship. Mrs. Fu looked at this scene and smiled.
No one disturbed the two sisters while they were talking.
The Duke's wife looked at Madam Fu Er and said, "Sister-in-law, Ying'er has been a 15-year-old for almost a few months. What are your plans for her marriage?"
There are not many children in the Duke's Mansion. The ranking is arranged by the two families together. After the eldest and second daughters of the Duke's Mansion got married, there are only two little girls. The Duke's wife naturally treats this cousin who grew up in the mansion as the girl of the family, and she knows how much her younger brother and sister-in-law love her.
What's more, he is indeed a good child who deserves our love.
Madam Fu II looked at the two girls and said softly, "Sister-in-law, I raised Ying'er. Although she is my sister's child, I have treated her as my own. I don't want her to suffer in the future. These days, I have actually been looking for a candidate. I also want to take the imperial examination next year and find a son-in-law from the list. I want to find someone with noble character."
But she was actually afraid that she would choose the wrong person.
But fortunately, with her master's official position and the support of the Duke's Mansion, I believe that other people would not dare to bully her with any ill intentions.
Over there, Fu Jinmo's hand holding the wine cup suddenly tightened.
He looked at Sheng Huan and saw that the woman's face was flushed. He didn't know what she said to Fu Shirui, but her clear eyes were filled with suppressed tears.
The Duke's wife had no idea what her son was thinking at this moment. She said to Madam Fu Er, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. You can't be careless about marriage. You have to choose carefully. I will also pay attention to it."
"Thank you very much, sister-in-law."
As for Fu Jingzhou, he drank a glass of wine and glanced at his elder brother calmly.
I felt even weirder.
