Chapter 81.2

Previously, the senior officials of Jin City had estimated Grand Marshal Lins arrival time. But they just didnt expect Lin Shiheng would arrive a little earlier than they expected, and as soon as he entered the city, he went to the Fang family first. Therefore, by the time they received the news and rushed to meet him, they could only stay cautious outside the Fang family door. They passed a message inside to request a meeting.

Lin Shiheng had just sat on a chair in the Fang familys hall, and within half an hour, three waves of people had come, one after another, to request a meeting with him. Mother Fang hadnt heard of most of the names, but some were the names of people she would have to be respectful to if she met the madams in their meetings. Seeing Lin Shihengs outright refusal, her heart was a little worried.

Although she had seen Lin Shihengs prestige and heard the soldiers call him Marshal, she was still worried that Lin Shiheng would offend people for nothing to talk to his family. When Lin Shiheng refused the third wave of visitors, she couldnt resist asking.

Brother Heng, theyre all from prestigious families. Will anything happen if you disregard their pride like this?

"It doesnt matter.

Lin Shiheng was still sitting in the lower position as he did five years ago, holding Fang Zheng in his arms. After listening to this, he raised his face and smiled. He warmly explained, "Today, it could be said that I have taken over Jin City. Those groups of people are thinking of meeting me to find out the details. If I let those people with loose mouths meet me, I'm afraid they woulcl line up from toclay to tomorrow. Rather than being tired, I might as well relax first. When the repairs are done, Ill also invite them all over for a party.

Although Mother Fang hacl been struggling to support the family after her husband left, in the end, her communications were only with the ladies. After she heard his words, she nodded, Its my thoughtlessness. Brother Heng has really grown up.

The fact that he was so thoughtful made her heart feel even more comfortable.

Aunt must be joking. Even if Im older, in your eyes, Im still your child.

Lin Shiheng answerecl her words with a smile but glanced at Fang Licheng sitting opposite him. After five years, her appearance remained the same. Because she completely put down the matter with the Shen family in these five years, she looked more attractive and elegant. Just as she was sitting there, people couldnt take their eyes off her.

Fang Licheng also felt his gaze and looked up slightly. She almost choked on her own breath.

If nothing else, Lin Shihengs gaze wasnt that of a younger brother looking at his sister, but a man looking at a woman. It was full of aggressiveness.

She dicln t dare to think too deeply, so she looked down and avoided his gaze. Lin Shiheng didnt continue but talkecl with Mother Fang sitting above as if nothing had happenecl over the years.

He could sit in this position. Naturally, there were some clangers. But to avoid worrying Mother Fang, Lin Shiheng only talked about how everything went well and how the late Marshal valuecl him, and he finally became a Marshal.

After they finished talking, Fang Zheng, who was sitting in Lin Shihengs lap and listening quietly with his head tilted obediently, finally found the opportunity to interject and askecl in a crisp voice.

Grandma, is this gentleman my Uncle?

Before Mother Fang answered, Lin Shiheng responded happily, I was so focused on catching up, I forgot to get to know you, little guy.

As he spoke, he stretched out his slender fingertips and gently squeezed the little white face with baby fat, Do you know me?

I know my Uncles nickname is Brother Heng, which my Grandmother and Mother always talk about.

Fang Zheng had always been a small adult in front of unfamiliar elders, and even now, being helcl in his arms didnt prevent him from sitting up straight and answering questions seriously.

Sir, you called my Grandma as aunt, ancl my mother as sister, ancl they called you Brother Heng. Its not hard to guess that youre my Uncle who left home to join the army when I was just born.

This child is really smart.

Lin Shiheng was even more fond of him. He moved the boy from his left leg to his right leg ancl poked his nose.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

When I left. you were still in swacldling clothes, blushing red and wrinkling, quietly trying to sleep, looking like a little monkey. At that time, I was still thinking quietly in my heart. You are so ugly; what should I clo if you cant find a wife in the future? I didnt expect that you woulcl grow up to have such a charming appearance.

Sister, in these five years, although you never left the house, you also study books, studying poetry and literature, Kou Yuan has informed me of all these. Shen Yunqing slandered Sister as a feudal woman outside, but I know that you have a ravine in your heart because you werent allowed to study. If Sister marries me, we will support each other. I will do what Sister doesnt want to do, and you can do whatever you want.

Fang Lichengs eyes tremblecl with nervousness. She clenched her handkerchief in her hand and spoke in a low voice, Let me think about it again. We have always been brother and sister, not to mention that Im still a divorcee, and you are now a Marshal. It isnt suitable...

I got this Marshal position to protect my family. Sister is my family. Strictly speaking, Im just a fatherless and motherless orphan, but Sister is the Fang familys Lady. Its me who isnt worthy of you, Sister.

Fang Licheng was at a loss as to what to say and said, "Why do you have to belittle yourself?

Why should you belittle yourself, Sister? Its not your fault that you married a beast. Why can that beast find new love, as if nothing had happened, but Sister is afraid to remarry because of him? He was the one who treated you like that. Sister should be happier than him. Let him see for himself that without him, Sister will live much better than before!"

Hearing this, Fang Licheng couldnt help but feel stunned.

Since her divorce, she didnt like to go out and socialize. In addition to not wanting to get into trouble, she also didnt want to see those former acquaintances.

It was said that divorce was a thing of the new society, but everything seemecl to be no different from the old society. When a man divorced, he could hold a wedcling wantonly the next clay, to welcome a beautiful young new wife.

However, when a woman was divorced, she could only live in seclusion. If she started a new relationship, she was still talked about behind her back.

Nowadays, society was so clistorted. Those women who felt this kind of pain were weak. No one would listen to them, ancl they didnt dare to raise their voice against it. Those who didnt feel the pain would just stand around talking.

Fang Licheng was weak-tempered, and she had never thought of remarrying in the past five years. Besides being afraid of encountering another beast, she had a little longing for Lin Shiheng, who hadnt returnecl for so long.

It just never occurred to her that Lin Shiheng was always thinking of her and standing by her side.

Mentioning Shen Yunqing, the tenderness in Lin Shihengs eyes clispersecl slightly as he sneered, Im not going to lie. I could have killed him with one shot today, but when I thought of the insult you sufferecl back then, I thought killing him woulcl be too easy for him. I want him to live, to see how our Fang family will prosper, to see how Sister, who he abandonecl and insulted, could be happy and prosperous, to see how Brother Zheng, the child he abandoned, be respected so that he would live in remorse throughout his life. This is the only way to relieve the hatred I felt when Sister was humiliated!"

Brother Heng..."

Fang Licheng was truly stunned by this younger brother, who she grew up with.

Before she recovered, Lin Shiheng took her tender hand and seriously asked, Sister. marry me."

I will make you happy and take care of Brother Zheng as if he were my own son.

I, I...

She hesitatecl and forgot to take back the hand held by the person in front of her. She knew full well that she shouldnt marry Lin Shiheng, who was now at the peak of his career. However, her heart couldnt be deceived.

Eventually, Fang Licheng gritted her teeth and hastily withdrew her hand.

Well talk about this later. I still need to think about it.

Hmm!

She didnt say no, so he still had 80% hope. The man dressed in a handsome military uniform even answered with some joy, as if Fang Licheng hacl already agreed to him, making her face a little redder.

When she saw him like this, unexpectedly, her heart also felt some sweetness.
