After nine lifetimes of reincarnation, the yandere villainous heroine descends.

"arrive."

As Shen Shuchou's words came again, they pulled the girls back to reality.

Fifth Shu Shuang slightly lifted the curtain and looked outside, only to see that the carriage had stopped in front of a grand mansion.

The gate is marked with the three large characters "Shen Garden Mansion", and two imposing stone lions stand in front of it.

With its bright, piercing eyes, wide-open mouth, and sharp fangs, it stood majestically guarding the mansion.

The vermilion gate was heavy and magnificent, with dazzling gemstones inlaid on the door knocker.

Above the door, exquisite wood carvings are a masterpiece, depicting phoenixes in flight and auspicious dragons dancing, symbolizing good fortune and auspiciousness.

The eaves rise high, like a flock of wild geese spreading their wings and soaring into the sky, while the wind chimes hanging from the eaves make a crisp and melodious sound in the breeze.

The walls are covered with golden glazed tiles, which shimmer and shine in the sunlight.

The entire mansion is magnificent and elegant, resembling a grand palace, showcasing the profound heritage and noble status of the Shen family.

Fifth Shushuang couldn't help but compare it with the Fifth Family's mansion, only to be surprised to find that the Shen Family's mansion was not only no less impressive, but even surpassed it.

However, the once prosperous Fifth Family is now reduced to a place littered with corpses, and all their relatives have become innocent victims of the sword, giving rise to a sense of sorrow.

"Come on down, we're home."

Shen Shuchou's voice came again, and at the same time, he thoughtfully lifted the curtain for the two of them.

Seeing this, Fifth Shushuang suppressed her grief and, with a heart full of unease, took Fifth Qinghan's hand and slowly stepped down from the carriage.

Just then, the door opened from the inside, and a suspicious-looking young man poked his head out.

In that instant, their eyes met.

This startled the young man, but he breathed a sigh of relief after recognizing Shen Shuchou.

Immediately afterwards, he adopted an arrogant posture and swaggered out through the crack in the door. His eyes first swept over Shen Shuchou, and then looked the fifth sister behind him up and down.

Immediately, a cynical smile appeared on the young man's lips as he said, "Hey! Third brother, where did you hunt this game from?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Shuchou frowned slightly, and the girl behind him trembled violently.

Seeing this, Shen Shuchou couldn't help but grasp the soft hand of Fifth Shushuang. Although he didn't say anything, it brought her great comfort.

"Second brother, this is my wife, not some wild game."

Shen Shuchou looked at the young man in front of him and said.

The person before him was his second elder brother, Shen Jianxing, and his elder sister, Shen Xuejian.

When Shen Jianxing heard that Wu Shushuang was Shen Shuchou's wife, the mocking look on his lips deepened.

"Third brother, you certainly have a refined taste, seeking wild game as a wife. Don't blame your second brother for not reminding you, the Shen family is not a place where just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can trespass. Leaving aside the past, at least not now."

Shen Jianxing said sarcastically in a cold tone.

His words were not only directed at Fifth Shushuang, but also alluded to Shen Shuchou.

The main reason is that the blood flowing in Shen Shuchou's veins is not the blood of the Shen family.

The head of the Shen family had two wives in his life. One of them was his first love, Li Yao, who was the biological parent of Shen Xuejian and Shen Jianxing.

Back then, the Shen family was not as grand and prosperous as it is today. At most, they could be described as a well-off family, running a small business and not particularly famous.

However, Shen Zhoucheng later had a chance encounter with Wang Lan, the daughter of the renowned Wang family from another state.

The two fell in love at first sight and quickly decided to spend the rest of their lives together, walking hand in hand into the hall of marriage.

Wang Lan didn't care about being a concubine; for her, being able to stay with the one she loved was the most important thing.

Later, with the strong support of the Wang family, the Shen family gradually rose to prominence.

It can be said that Wang Lan deserves 80% of the credit for the Shen family becoming one of the most prominent families in Fangzhou City.

However, Wang Lan has a fatal flaw: she suffered from a serious illness when she was young, which made her unable to have children for the rest of her life.

This also caused her to often feel depressed, and she felt guilty for not being able to bear children for Shen Zhoucheng.

However, by chance eighteen years ago, she bought a baby from a woman.

From then on, he treated the baby as his own and kept him in the Shen family. That baby is now Shen Shuchou.

In the Shen family, Li Yao harbored a secret grudge against Wang Lan, as she was jealous of Wang Lan's privileged background.

Therefore, from a young age, Shen Jianxing was taught to make things difficult for Shen Shuchou. Not only that, but even the children of the servants in the house were secretly instructed not to play with Shen Shuchou.

Shen Zhoucheng saw all of this. Since Shen Shuchou was not his biological son, he didn't care about Shen Shuchou as much as he cared about his sister Shen Xuejian.

Therefore, he always turned a blind eye and wouldn't interfere as long as things weren't too excessive.

By then, the Shen family had grown and prospered, and therefore no longer relied on the Wang Lan family's power.

Perhaps in this vast Shen family, the only person who truly cared for Shen Shuchou was Wang Lan, and even this marriage was something Wang Lan had to plead for.

But Shen Shuchou was, after all, a person who had experienced several lifetimes of reincarnation, and he couldn't be bothered with such childish isolation.

But this does not mean that Shen Shuchou is mild-mannered; at least for now, it is absolutely unacceptable when it comes to the Fifth Book Double.

However, he showed no anger on his face, and simply said calmly, "Second brother, where are you going, acting so suspiciously?"

"What I do is none of your business!"

When Shen Jianxing saw that Shen Shuchou dared to question him in return, he immediately sneered.

"I just passed by Fengyin Tower and heard that they are holding a grand courtesan competition there today. I thought my second brother was going there."

Shen Shuchou spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jianxing's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly defended himself: "Haha, your second brother has always been upright, how could I possibly meddle in that Fengyin Tower?"

"That's strange. I think I saw Second Brother at Fengyin Tower last time. Could I have been mistaken?" Shen Shuchou continued.

"Hahaha! Third brother! You must have misjudged me. Second brother has important matters to attend to and must be leaving now."

Shen Jianxing tried to dodge the question and slip away.

"Second brother needs to come back early tomorrow. If I remember correctly, father, mother and eldest sister will also be back early tomorrow morning."

Shen Shuchou mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jianxing froze, then quickly retreated to Shen Shuchou's ear, forcing a smile as he said, "Third brother, you wouldn't say something like that, would you?"

"What you're saying, Second Brother, I'm really a bit confused?" Shen Shuchou pretended to be clueless.

"What exactly do you want, Shen Shuchou?" Shen Jianxing gritted his teeth upon seeing his expression.

"Second Brother, dogs will go out and search for excrement to eat, but at least people can't do that, don't you think, Second Brother?"

Shen Shuchou said with a smile.

Shen Jianxing was no fool, and he immediately understood the meaning behind those words.

Instantly, his face turned ashen; Shen Shuchou was clearly calling him a dog.

In fact, Shen Shuchou left him some leeway. As long as he apologized, at least he wouldn't be a dog anymore. Otherwise, Shen Jianxing would be destined to bear the name of a dog.

Shen Jianxing glared fiercely at Shen Shuchou, who simply smiled and nodded.

Shen Jianxing was very reluctant to back down, but he thought that if he didn't say anything, Shen Shuchou would definitely complain tomorrow.

If my parents found out, they would at most scold me a few times, but if my older sister found out, she would definitely beat me to death!

The key issue is that he can't beat his older sister. Just thinking about how he was beaten up makes him tremble.

Should she give in to Shen Shuchou, or endure the pain of being beaten to death by her eldest sister again?

In just a few breaths, Shen Jianxing had an idea. His expression softened slightly, and he turned to Fifth Shushuang with a grin, saying, "Little sister, I have a sharp tongue, so please don't take it to heart. I think you and Third Brother are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."

After saying that, he didn't care what Fifth Shushuang thought, and then whispered to Shen Shuchou, "Third brother! You know what to say and what not to say tomorrow, right?"

Shen Shuchou simply smiled and said, "Third brother naturally knows."

Looking at Shen Shuchou's face, which made one want to punch him, Shen Jianxing was filled with rage and wished he could immediately slam his fist into him.

However, the thought of those alluring little vixens still waiting for him on the warm bed made his heart itch with an unbearable itch, like ants crawling on it.

Given what has happened today, we can only put it aside for now and deal with it in detail later.

He simply snorted coldly, stepped into the dim, sandy night, and turned away from the Shen residence without a second thought.
