Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

Shen Siyan frowned slightly, "Brother, when I was traveling, I met a famous doctor. His medical skills are very advanced and he will definitely be able to cure your illness."

After hearing this, Ning Feng just smiled faintly, without much expectation, "Let's go in first, mother is waiting for us."

The eldest lady of the Shen family slowly opened the beaded curtain and walked out. Her eyes fell on Shen Siyan without any warmth. Seeing him come in, she said coldly: "You have been back to Beijing for many days. Instead of staying at the Shen family, you ran to the other courtyard. What's going on?"

"Mother..." Ning Feng stepped in between the two of them, trying to ease the atmosphere, "Si Yan, mother is worried about you. Seeing that you haven't been home for such a long time, I am anxious."

Shen Siyan's expression remained calm.

Servants came up to serve tea and snacks.

Because of fatigue, Ning Feng quickly went back to his room to rest. Only Shen Siyan and the eldest lady of the Shen family were left in the room.

"You are already twenty-five years old and can't run around anymore. You should come back earlier to support the Shen family. I have already picked out some unmarried girls in the capital for you. After you get married and have children, you will settle down." The eldest lady of the Shen family said in a stern tone.

Shen Siyan paused for a moment, his eyes slightly stern.

"Take a look at these portraits. Are there any that you like?" The eldest lady of the Shen family handed over a stack of scrolls and placed them on the table. "This is the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, Su Yu." The woman in the painting was smiling sweetly and charmingly.

Shen Siyan had no expression on his face and did not react at all.

Seeing this, the eldest lady of the Shen family turned over another painting and said, "This is the Prime Minister's youngest daughter, Yin Ru."

The scrolls were displayed one by one, and the women in them all had outstanding looks and prominent backgrounds.

Shen Siyan understood that his marriage was not just a wedding, but also a chess piece to consolidate the Shen family's status.

His mother and the Shen family had been planning for a long time, and he knew exactly what they wanted to do.

"These women are all famous talented women in the capital, and they are very suitable for you."

Seeing Shen Siyan's indifference, the eldest lady of the Shen family was a little unhappy. When she turned to another painting, the woman in the painting was gentle and calm, as if everything was under her control. Shen Siyan's eyes stayed on the painting for a moment, and his expression became complicated.

The eldest lady of the Shen family noticed his change and continued, "This is the daughter of the Ye family, but now she has returned to the Su family. Her name is Ye Yunzi."

Hearing this name, Shen Siyan's heart was shocked and his brows slightly frowned.

Why is there a portrait of Ye Yunzi here?

He should have been happy, but his face was gloomy because he saw Ye Yunzi in the album, which made him unable to be happy at all.

"Although this woman has caused quite a bit of trouble in the capital, the Su family is incredibly wealthy, and Grandpa Su is a pillar of the country, and his prestige still exists. If you can marry her, it will be of great benefit to your future promotion and wealth."

Mrs. Shen said calmly that to her, these women were not only her son's companions, but also the bond connecting various forces.

Shen Siyan looked solemn as he stared at Ye Yunzi's portrait in silence for a long time.

Mrs. Shen carefully observed the changes in Shen Siyan's expression and thought to herself that this Ye Yunzi seemed to have an unusual meaning to Si Yan.

The daughter of the Su family, Ye Yunzi?

Mrs. Shen had something in mind and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"Well, you should have your own ideas about marriage. Take a look at these portraits. If you like any of them, tell mother and I will make the proper arrangements." After Mrs. Shen finished speaking, she tapped the table lightly with her fingers.

The woman in the painting has a gentle and beautiful smile.

Shen Siyan put away the portrait, turned around and left. Mrs. Shen looked at his back with complicated eyes.

"Ye Yunzi, why does he care so much about her?"

Madam Shen paused for a moment and ordered coldly, "Call Si'er who is beside Si Yan."

"Yes." The maid went out to call for her. Not long after, Shen Siyan's servant Si'er came up to her respectfully and saluted, saying, "Madam."

Mrs. Shen looked at him sternly. For a long while, the room was silent. Si'er felt so nervous that he almost suffocated.

"You serve Si Yan, so you should know everything about him. I have something to ask you now, and you must answer truthfully."

"Yes." Si'er replied.

His eyes flickered. Even though he was a personal servant, he did not know the whereabouts of the young master outside the mansion. The young master always kept to himself when he went out.

"Do you know the young lady from the Su family? Have you ever seen Si Yan meet her alone?" Mrs. Shen asked coldly.

Si'er hesitated for a moment, frowning, thinking about how to answer.

He glanced at his wife's face cautiously, not knowing why she asked this question and not knowing whether he should tell her the truth.

Mrs. Shen tapped the table, making a rhythmic sound that made people feel chilly.

Mrs. Shen's tone softened. "Si Yan is also old enough to get married. If he has a girl he likes, I will naturally consider his wishes. I think the young lady of the Su Mansion is smart and clever, and she is a good match for Si Yan."

After Si'er heard what his wife said, the burden in his heart was immediately lightened. He remembered that there was always a painting in the young master's study, and the woman in the painting was the young lady of the Su family. If the young master could really get married with the young lady of the Su family, it would be a wonderful thing.

Thinking of this, Si'er quickly said, "I've seen that painting before. The young master and Miss Su went out together during the Lantern Festival."

"Lantern Festival?" Mrs. Shen stopped what she was doing, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"They met several more times afterwards." Si'er told the truth. Mrs. Shen seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that Si Yan was really attracted to that young lady.

"Okay, I will think about this matter carefully. You go down first. Don't tell Si Yan about what happened today." Mrs. Shen waved her hand lightly to signal Si'er to leave.

Si'er agreed and turned to go out.

Mrs. Shen smiled slightly. She originally thought that Shen Siyan was a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune and had no worries. But now it seems that Ye Yunzi is his weakness.

"The Su Mansion is interesting." She whispered to herself.

Shen Siyan came out of the Shen Mansion with a frown on his face, holding the scroll tightly in his hand. He was in a heavy mood, as if something was bothering him.

When the news that the emperor summoned Shen Siyan spread, it caused quite a stir.

The old man of the Shen family was the former Taifu and was deeply favored by the emperor, but due to rumors in the court, the descendants of the Shen family no longer got involved in the court.

Now the emperor personally summoned Shen Siyan, obviously to entrust him with an important task. This move immediately caused a lot of discussion among the major families.

Inside the palace, Concubine Xian's expression changed slightly after she heard the news.

"The young master of the Shen family?" The maid beside him replied in a low voice: "That's right, Madam."

Empress Xian couldn't sit still anymore, so she stood up and walked back and forth in the room. She was able to walk out of the cold palace thanks to Shen Siyan's plan.

Now the Shen family supports her son, the Seventh Prince. She really wants to meet this young man to see what his plans are and whether he can become her chess piece.
