Shen Shuchou looked at Fifth Shushuang, whose eyes were wide open, and a slight ripple of amusement rose in his heart.

Seemingly worried that she might have doubts, Shen Shuchou slowly took out a marriage contract from his bosom and gently handed it over.

Fifth Book Shuang suddenly came to her senses, quickly reached out and caught it, and then slowly unfolded it.

Now, Shen Zhoucheng and Wu Fanghai, due to their deep friendship, wish to arrange a marriage for their children.

The man was Shen Shuchou, the son of Shen Zhoucheng. He was intelligent, quick-witted, and of impeccable character.

The woman is Wu Shushuang, the daughter of the Fifth Sea. She is gentle, elegant, dignified and beautiful.

On the fifth day of the seventh month of the Xuanli year 2356, the two families discussed and decided to arrange a marriage between Shen Shuchou and Wu Shushuang.

After the two have come of age, they will choose an auspicious day and get married.

From this day forward, the two families should be as close as brothers and sisters, helping each other and working together to ensure their children's healthy growth and to bring about this happy marriage.

Fifth Book Shuang stared intently at every word and sentence of the marriage contract, the shock in his heart like a surging, turbulent wave.

She was actually engaged? But why had her father never mentioned it to her?

Furthermore, the engagement was signed in 2356, while it is now 2367. In other words, she was only three years old when she got engaged.

When she was only three years old, her father actually arranged this betrothal for her.

Fifth Sister stared blankly at the small marriage contract, not looking up for a long time. For a moment, she couldn't determine whether the marriage contract was real or fake, even though it was indeed her father's handwriting.

Regardless, the Fifth Family has now been wiped out.

She and her sister were left to depend on each other for survival, and whether the marriage agreement was real or fake no longer seemed to matter.

Don't you believe me?

Seeing that Fifth Shushuang hadn't raised his head for a long time, Shen Shuchou asked softly.

He had no idea whether Fifth Shushuang's father had mentioned this to her, but judging from Fifth Shushuang's current behavior, he probably hadn't heard about it.

Upon hearing Shen Shuchou's words, Fifth Shushuang slowly closed the marriage contract and then handed it back to Shen Shuchou.

Gazing once more at that face, as smooth and beautiful as jade, Fifth Shu Shuang steadied himself and said, "Young master, you may not know this, but the Fifth family has now vanished. This engagement is therefore null and void."

As soon as he finished speaking, a question suddenly arose in Fifth Shushuang's mind: How did he know that I came from the Fifth Family? And how could we have met here by such a coincidence?

As soon as this question arose, Fifth Shushuang felt a chill run down her spine. She involuntarily took another step back, and her eyes regained their alertness.

Shen Shuchou saw the girl's expression clearly and understood what she was thinking.

His appearance was indeed abrupt, but it was also a choice made out of necessity, all arranged by the system.

Immediately! Shen Shuchou began to make up stories and explain to Fifth Shushuang.

He claimed that he had secretly traveled to Yunzhou alone and met her on the street, thus knowing that she was the Fifth Shu Shuang.

He also mentioned that he had a close friend in Yunzhou, and his friend had already told him in detail about the various incidents that had occurred in the Fifth Family. That's why he rode out of the city to Yunzhou, and it was there that he happened to meet her.

Upon hearing that Shen Shuchou had once secretly watched her in Yunzhou, Fifth Shushuang's cheeks flushed slightly.

Unlike her younger sister Qinghan, who prefers to stay at home, she goes out almost every day.

But she still harbored doubts and asked uncertainly, "Is what you say true, young master?"

Shen Shuchou smiled and raised his hand, saying, "Everything I've said is true. If there's even the slightest falsehood, I'm willing to be struck by lightning..."

Before he could finish speaking, a soft little hand suddenly grabbed his arm.

The girl's face showed a hint of panic, but she said with an extremely serious expression, "Young master, please do not make such a solemn oath. I believe you."

After saying this, Fifth Shu Shuang realized that her actions had been somewhat rash, so she quickly released her hand, lowered her head, and said, "In short, no matter what, I believe in you, young master, and I am very grateful for your life-saving grace."

As she finished speaking, she was about to kneel down when a pair of hands held her shoulders, and Shen Shuchou's voice came from beside her ear: "You are my betrothed wife, and what I did was only my duty."

Upon hearing Shen Shuchou's words, Fifth Shushuang's face turned even redder, and even her earlobes were tinged with blush.

"Don't worry, the Fifth Family's feud will not end here. One day, those people will all pay a heavy price for it."

Shen Shuchou continued to offer gentle words of comfort.

A fourteen-year-old girl, who should have been enjoying the carefree years of her youth, suddenly encountered such a tragedy and fell into such a state in a single day.

Let alone a young girl, even an adult would probably find it difficult to bear such a huge drop in status and the endless sorrow in their heart.

Upon hearing this, Fifth Shushuang instantly thought of the corpses scattered all over her home, and a wave of sorrow washed over her.

At that moment, her body was pulled into a strong and powerful embrace.

"Cry! Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

Shen Shuchou's gentle voice lingered in her ears, completely shattering the girl's fragile defenses.

At this moment, tears flowed like a burst dam, uncontrollably gushing from his eyes and soaking Shen Shuchou's clothes in no time.

Shen Shuchou remained silent, only gently stroking Fifth Shushuang's back with one hand, offering her silent comfort.

After an unknown amount of time, the girl's cries ceased amidst the vast expanse of white.

She quickly wiped away her tears, only to realize that she had soiled Shen Shuchou's clothes. She hurriedly took out the handkerchief hidden in her bosom to wipe them.

But Shen Shuchou gently stopped her, saying, "It's alright, it's too cold outside. Come home with me first."

Fifth Shu Shuang looked up at Shen Shu Chou, listening to his gentle words and actions, her heart pounding wildly again.

"Um!"

She responded softly.

"oops!"

Suddenly, the girl remembered something and broke free from the embrace, running into the carriage.

A moment later!

Fifth Shu Shuang slowly walked out of the carriage again, but this time, she was accompanied by a girl dressed in green.

The girl lowered her small head, her other hand tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, refusing to let go even a little.

"Young master, this is my younger sister, Fifth Qinghan."

Fifth Shushuang pulled Fifth Qinghan along as they introduced themselves.

Shen Shuchou stared at the girl with her head down; he had already learned about their situation from the system.

They are extremely rare individuals with one soul and two bodies, a condition even rarer than two souls in one body.

Each of the two women possesses a fragment of a remnant soul within her body, with Fifth Shushuang being the main soul and Fifth Qinghan the secondary soul.

"Qinghan, quickly look up and thank the young master. He saved us sisters."

Fifth Shushuang gently held Fifth Qinghan's small hand and said.

Upon hearing her sister's words, Fifth Qinghan slowly raised her head and turned her gaze to Shen Shuchou.

My sister and I are twins.

Fifth Book Shuang quickly spoke up to explain.

Although Shen Shuchou knew from the system that they looked alike, he was still slightly astonished when he saw it with his own eyes.

As he scrutinized Fifth Qinghan, the little girl was also observing him.

A soft voice gently echoed in Fifth Qinghan's heart.

He's really good-looking.

Because Fifth Qinghan often locks herself in her room and rarely goes out, she has very few opportunities to meet people.

Upon seeing Shen Shuchou, all she could think of was that he was handsome; she couldn't think of any other words to describe him.

"Thanks!"

Fifth Qinghan pursed her pink lips and whispered in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"It's okay!"

Shen Shuchou smiled slightly.

Although the two girls look exactly alike, they can still be easily distinguished by their expressions and other aspects.

Fifth Shushuang's voice was clear and melodious, and her eyes, as clear as stars, seemed to hold a pool of clear and ethereal water.

Fifth Qinghan, on the other hand, had a soft and gentle voice, giving people a sense of shyness and timidity, and even her eyes carried a lingering sense of unease and melancholy.

"Alright, this is no place to stay for long. Come home with me and we'll discuss this further."

After Shen Shuchou finished speaking, he took the initiative to walk to the front of the carriage and take charge of driving.

Fifth Shu Shuang also took Qing Han's hand and returned to the carriage.

"drive!"

With a clear and melodious shout from Shen Shuchou, the carriage slowly began to move.

His steed let out a high-pitched neigh, leading all the horses in the area to gallop away into the distance.

In no time, Shen Shuchou disappeared from the spot, and the snow that had just stopped began to fall again from the sky, gradually burying the corpses on the ground.

At that moment, a young man in black slowly stepped into the swirling snow from the other side.

Surprisingly, the falling snowflakes avoided the young man and landed to the side.

The young man's cold, star-like eyes gazed in the direction Shen Shuchou had left, remaining silent for a long time.

He appeared shortly after Shen Shuchou arrived at this place, but he has not shown himself yet.

The reason for this was Shen Shuchou. He couldn't fathom the cultivation level of this person, and a chilling intuition arose from him.

If he dares to show himself, he will surely be buried deep in the swirling snow along with these corpses on the ground.
