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

After walking down a street, Ye Yunzi found her heart beating faster. She herself didn't understand why she was so excited. "The embroiderer came to measure my size today." She whispered softly.

"Yes," Shen Siyan responded. "You will definitely become the most beautiful bride in the capital."

Ye Yunzi looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

He was usually serious, but he could say such sweet words. She couldn't help but look at him carefully and found that his ears were slightly red. They both understood, and the corners of their mouths slightly raised, and continued to walk forward hand in hand.

After walking a few streets, Ye Yunzi felt her legs were a little sore, so Shen Siyan suggested taking her home. The two slowed down their pace and walked towards the Su Mansion.

The sweet atmosphere gradually dissipated. Ye Yunzi put away her smile and said seriously, "What's the situation in the palace?"

Shen Siyan also stopped smiling: "The poison in Concubine Xian has been removed, but she is still in a coma and her physical condition is deteriorating. The imperial physician said that if she continues to be in a coma like this, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for much longer."

Ye Yunzi frowned, feeling mixed emotions. She had hoped that her efforts could change Empress Xian's fate, but the result did not seem to be satisfactory.

Concubine Xian paved the way for the Seventh Prince at the cost of her own life, forcing Concubine Wu to abdicate. Without Concubine Wu's obstruction, the Seventh Prince's future will be smoother.

Thinking of this, Ye Yunzi thought of Aliang again, and her heart became silent again. Aliang knew nothing about her life experience, should she continue to hide it?

Sensing Ye Yunzi's emotional fluctuations, Shen Siyan stopped and took her into his arms, hugging her tightly. "Some things cannot be changed even if we know them in advance. This is Concubine Xian's own choice, and we can only accept it."

"You're right." Ye Yunzi responded softly, leaning against Shen Siyan's chest, listening to his heartbeat, and feeling her heart gradually calm down. "Si Yan!" She called his name softly.

"Luckily there's you."

There are few pedestrians on the street, and people who occasionally pass by will take a few more glances.

The man was dressed in an elegant long gown and had a handsome face; the woman was gentle and lovely. The two of them standing together looked like a perfect match, attracting the envy of passers-by.

He Qing hid in the dark, with an anxious look on his face. He looked at the couple. Although he knew it was inappropriate to disturb them at this moment, he had to step forward due to the emergency. "My Lord."

Ye Yunzi gently withdrew from Shen Siyan's arms and tidied her clothes. She suddenly realized that the scene just now might have been seen clearly by others.

"What's the matter?" Shen Siyan looked at He Qing, frowning slightly. He Qing approached and whispered a few words, and Shen Siyan's face immediately became serious.

Ye Yunzi knew that it must be something important, so she said, "My home is just ahead. I can go back by myself."

Shen Siyan frowned, and agreed after thinking for a moment. "Then be careful."

"Don't worry, I have guards with me, nothing will happen, just go and take care of it."

Ye Yunzi had no complaints at all. Meeting Shen Siyan on the street today was a pleasant surprise for her.

Shen Siyan left, and Ye Yunzi prepared to go home alone. The sky was a little gloomy, and she had just taken a few steps when thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, followed by dazzling lightning, and heavy rain poured down.

Ye Yunzi was startled and quickly ran to a nearby eaves to take shelter from the rain. She was only a few steps away from home, but she encountered this unexpected heavy rain.

She frowned, considering whether to run home in the rain. Although her clothes would be soaked, at least she could get home earlier.

At this moment, she regretted letting the servants and guards leave first.

"Oh!" Ye Yunzi sighed, hesitated for a while, and decided to move forward in the rain.

However, as soon as she took a step forward——

An oil-paper umbrella suddenly appeared overhead, blocking the downpour.

Ye Yunzi was stunned, stopped, turned around and saw that there was a man beside her. Baili Yan looked down at her, with an indescribable look in his eyes.

The thunder roared again, and the rain became more violent, drowning out all the surrounding sounds. In this rain curtain, the two shared an umbrella and looked at each other.

"Seventh Prince?" Ye Yunzi asked in surprise.

Baili Yan said calmly: "I'll take you back."

Ye Yunzi looked up at the pouring rain and thought that it was impossible to run back now, as she was afraid that she would become a drowned chicken.

So she nodded gently. "Then thank you for your help, Your Highness."

The two walked slowly in the rain, Baili Yan holding an oil-paper umbrella and walking leisurely. The atmosphere around was a little subtle, and the Seventh Prince seemed different today.

Ye Yunzi guessed that he might be in a bad mood because of Concubine Xian's matter, so she tentatively said:

"I have heard about Concubine Xian's affairs. If Your Highness is worried, you can ask Doctor Tao to come to the palace again to check on her."

When he mentioned Empress Xian, Baili Yan's body trembled slightly, and his eyes became more profound. After a moment, he slowly said, "The poison has been resolved. Asking Doctor Tao to come again will not help."

"Empress Xian will be safe and sound." Ye Yunzi comforted.

"Yeah." Baili Yan responded briefly, which was obviously different from usual. Ye Yunzi couldn't tell what had changed about him for a while, but she just felt that something was wrong.

The two walked in silence, Baili Yan tightly grasped the umbrella handle, his eyes complicated. "You're going to get married soon." He suddenly said.

Ye Yunzi felt sweet at the thought of becoming Shen Siyan's wife. This was something she had never dared to think about before. "Yes."

Baili Yan stopped and turned to stare at her. "Do you like him?"

This question surprised Ye Yunzi a little, but she didn't think much about it and answered directly: "Of course I like it."

Baili Yan's eyes were fixed on her face. As he got to know her better, he felt that she was a smart and kind girl.

Although he had met many women, he had never met someone like her. The help he received several times had stirred up a wave in his heart, and before he knew it, her figure had been deeply imprinted in his heart.

However, she was about to become someone else's bride. "If it was me who knew you first, instead of Shen Siyan, would the result be different?" Baili Yan whispered, almost drowned by the thunder.

"What did you say?" Ye Yunzi didn't hear clearly.

If she heard it, she would definitely be shocked. "Yunzi..." Baili Yan whispered. "If you meet someone you like, what will you do?"

"To express my feelings, of course." Ye Yunzi replied. She recalled how she and Shen Siyan met, and it was indeed she who took the initiative to pursue him.

"What if that person is already engaged?" Baili Yan continued to ask, with a barely perceptible hint of bitterness in his words.

Baili Yan stared at Ye Yunzi with deep eyes.

If it were any other time, Ye Yunzi would definitely notice that he was different. But today, she was a little tired from shopping with her mother, and it was pouring rain outside, so she just wanted to get home as soon as possible.
