Xie Mingxu and Xie Ming'an stepped forward, bowing with clasped hands.
"Mother."
Shen Siyi walked up with a wide smile. Then, before either brother could react, she reached out and pinched both of their ears.
"OW!" Xie Ming'an yelped, hopping in place. "Mother! What is it this time?"
"You have the gall to ask me? Your sister just got married. Today is only the second day. What trouble are you two here to cause? Come home with me."
Shen Siyi dragged them along. The brothers didn't dare to resist, grimacing in pain as they scurried to keep up.
Xie Ming'an retorted indignantly, "Mother! We just came to see our sister! We were worried she'd be exhausted from the tedious wedding ceremony yesterday. And look, we were right! She is tired. It's already afternoon, and she and the Crown Prince still haven't gotten up."
Shen Siyi stopped abruptly. Turning to face them, her gaze swept over them, sharp and appraising.
"Have you two never liked any girls?"
