Chapter 2013: Three Big bundles

Ying Xi shook his head, ''No, I'm not particularly curious. Why would I go look at a man's bundle?''

Shu Yu, '...' A man's bundle? That's your brother, you know.

As they spoke, Ying Xi looked back at his own older brother, ''Actually, I didn't suspect anything at first. It was that day when we went to pay our respects to our parents early in the morning. Since it's been a long time since we met, and we didn't know when we'd get the chance again, I chatted with him a bit. We talked about my brother's marriage, and considering his age, I thought my parents must be worried. So, I urged my brother a bit in front of our parents.''

Shu Yu cleared her throat. ''His age? Ying Dong is just one year older than Meng Yunzheng. Well, considering the times, I guess that could be considered quite an age.''

''You know what, Miss? When I urged my brother to find a wife soon, he didn't even argue with me. Instead, he mumbled something and turned it around, saying I'm not that young either and have plenty of concerns. I was a bit confused at the time, just wanting to shut him up quickly and change the topic. But now, thinking back, my brother was definitely feeling guilty.''

However, due to the busy schedule of assisting Meng Pei these past few days, Ying Xi hadn't thought much about it.

But just now, she became certain that something was off with her brother.

''Miss, when our carriage stopped for lunch a while ago, do you know what I saw? I actually saw my brother's third big bundle.''

Two bundles had already surprised her enough. Her brother wasn't the type to enjoy shopping, so buying something new was rare for him. Yet, from Changjin Prefecture to Huajiang Prefecture, he had added another big bundle.

''And, by accident, I saw inside when he opened the big bundle. It revealed a fan, the kind that only young girls use. I've seen them at the street stalls in Huajiang Prefecture. Miss, there's definitely something wrong with my brother.''

Shu Yu stroked her chin. Indeed, it seemed like a significant issue.

''He most likely has someone in his heart.'' Blame her for not considering the marriage of a 'big-aged youth. It seemed that not only Ying Dong but also Ying Xi had started thinking about it?

Ying Xi's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help sitting up straight, ''Miss, do you think so too? No, I have to ask him tonight who it is.''

''No need to be in such a hurry. Your brother's situation... he probably won't be able to resist telling me about it soon.''

Ying Xi pursed her lips, ''But I can't wait.''

''Then go ask him. See if he'll tell you or not.''

''Alright.''

That night, when the carriage stopped for rest, Ying Xi indeed went to find Ying Dong.

But not long after, she returned with a dejected look on her face and sighed with a hint of sadness, ''My brother has grown up. He didn't even tell his sister about this kind of thing.''

Shu Yu couldn't help but laugh, Ying Xi usually had a serious face, but she only made this kind of gesture when eating or dealing with her brother's matters.

''Alright, next time you encounter such a situation, don't tell him either. Get back at him.''

Ying Xi, '...' What kind of retaliation is that?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help turning her head back, intending to glare at her brother.

But to her surprise, Ying Dong walked over in this direction, looking a bit hesitant as he stood in front of Shu Yu, ''Miss, I have something I want to talk to you about.''

Shu Yu glanced at Ying Xi, who widened her eyes. Well, we thought you could hold out for longer.
