Chapter 451 - Kidnapped ? Again ?
Su Wan woke up around the evening all her muscles were deliciously used and her entire body felt soft and languid.
She wanted to sleep some more but then the grumbling of her stomach told her that it was a bit too late. She sheepishly poked out her tongue at the hoa.r.s.e caws of the crows and as well as the orange hue of the sky it was evening yet she was still in her bed.
If she did something like this back when she was still married to that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, he would have lifted up the sky on his head calling her lazy and what not for being too much, blah, blah, blah - such small things made her feel even more fortunate than she was Su Wan.
She smiled with glee as she rolled on the bed from this point to that, before getting out in the most unladylike way and crossed the room to the laundry basket where Lin Jing had put her clothes.
Lin Jing was still working on the cabinet design that she had given him and thus they were still using small baskets and old wooden trunks to keep their clothes.
Su Wan picked the one dress that had the least bit of ha.s.sle and walked out of the room after doing her hair.
She had expected a number of things but what she hasn"t expected was to see all her husbands including her Uncle to be covered in scratches.
Her brow nearly hit the roof above her head as she stared from one scratched face to another and asked. "What"s the matter with you all? Where did you go ...did you just go to the mountains and get attacked by a pack of beasts?"
Su Wan"s heart ached at the sight of them hurt like that but she found it amusing as well. The scratches and those small bandages made from cloth made them look more funny than pitiful but she was a little considerate towards their feelings and didn"t laugh out loud but of course, the effort alone made her shoulders shake.
"Wan Wan!" Lin Chen who felt like he finally found a backer, immediately rushed to hug Su Wan to get some affection.
Ever since he stepped away from her, his heart had been ruthlessly stomped and scratched on. "I-" he was just about to jump in his wife"s arms who habitually opened them but then he was pushed to the side so hard that he illusively spat out blood.
Thrown into the corner of the courtyard like an abandoned concubine, Lin Chen laid still as he curled his lips in a tragic smile as he mournfully uttered. "Plain as snow on the hill. Clear as the moon among the clouds. Is your change of heart, they tell me, And so I"ve come to bid you good-bye."

Lin Yu found his elder brother too shameful so he looked away, not wanting to be a part of this stupid one-man show, directed and presented by his third brother.
Lin Yan too of course, thought that Lin Chen was being a little too much but he still hid it better than Lin Yu as he helped Lin Chen up. Who made him his Eldest Brother?
He had to make sure that his younger brothers didn"t get carried away a little too much - especially not like this. "Ah Chen, it"s alright." he patted Lin Chen"s clothes and sweetly smiled as he helped Lin Chen to stand up straight. "There is nothing wrong and you shouldn"t do something like that -"
"How can I not? Second brother before saying that why don"t you look behind you and see what"s happening?" Said Lin Chen as he looked at Lin Yan with an "ara, ara, you little fool" expression.
Lin Yan frowned at Lin Chen"s words but still turned around to look at what was happening and when he did, his entire body turned as stiff as a board because unlike Shen Junxi, Shen Zizhen was not just hugging Su Wan, no he was carrying a confused Su Wan on his shoulder and running towards the main gate!
"OI, YOU OLD MAN!" Cried Lin Yan his eyes popping out of his eye sockets as he ran after the Second Uncle in law come kidnapper. "Let my wife go!"
"I am just bringing my niece to eat candy, don"t tell me that you won"t let this old man do that as well?" shouted Shen Zizhen over his shoulder but the speed with he was running didn"t seem like an Uncle taking out his niece to eat candy, it was more like a kidnapper s.n.a.t.c.hing away their wife!
"Like h.e.l.l, these brats are going to believe you! Hurry up and let Wan Wan down!" Shen Junxi too ran after his brother. He knew how much of a selfish, eccentric b.a.s.t.a.r.d his second brother was once he got his hands on something he liked or adored he and his third brother can forget all about ever seeing, much less touch it.
If he took Su Wan away he can forget about seeing his niece once and for all!
With that in mind Shen Junxi accelerated his speed but the fact was that Shen Zizhen did the same in the end the distance between them grew more and more when-
"Umm excuse me? Second Uncle?" Su Wan who was kidnapped so blatantly felt like the world have gone crazy in just a few hours thus was too shocked to react.
And Shen Zizhen was really fast as well she, herself didn"t notice when he threw her over his shoulder and ran like crazy but from her husbands and Eldest"s Uncle"s reactions this man was most likely her Second Uncle which was why she wasn"t scared at all and calmly said. "Can you put me down? I feel a bit queasy."
It was as if someone had switched off Shen Zizhen"s b.u.t.ton that everyone was looking from the past few hours as he not only put Su Wan down as gently as possible.. He even grinned at her like a little fool. "My dear Wan Wan!! You called me Second Uncle!"
