Shen An’an came from a prestigious family, blessed with both talent and beauty. As soon as she reached marriageable age, she was betrothed to the Fourth Prince, Xiao Yuan—a man of unparalleled ...
"Well... the palace sent two wedding dresses. Let me try them to see if they fit me."
Shen Changhe didn't say anything, his dark eyes stared straight at Shen Anan, making Shen Anan feel uncomfortable.
Finally, Shen Changhe spoke, "The Fourth Prince's Mansion just came to propose marriage."
Shen Anan's eyes immediately sparkled, "Where is he? In the front yard?"
"..." Shen Changhe looked into his sister's eyes, his tone a little difficult, "It was... the steward of the Fourth Prince's Mansion who came to propose."
Shen Anan's face turned extremely pale in an instant. He was stunned for a few breaths before he pulled the corners of his mouth forcefully, "Really? He must be busy with government affairs, so he doesn't have time to come in person. It doesn't matter."
Shen Changhe looked at her, pursed his thin lips, and said nothing.
Shen Anan even comforted him, "It's okay, brother. He is a prince, and it must be very difficult for him to survive in the palace."
Shen Anan lowered her head and smiled, pulling the brocade handkerchief in her hand hard, "Business matters are more important. After all, he carries the hopes of so many people. Since I want to be his princess, I must be considerate and sensible."
"An An."
Shen Changhe's tone was helpless, with deep heartache.
"You are so smart, how can you not understand that for the Fourth Prince, the one he married was not Shen An'an, but the daughter of General Shen. He doesn't care who will be the Fourth Prince's Consort. All he cares about is the Fourth Prince's Consort's surname."
Shen Anan pursed her lips, and tears fell in an instant.
Of course she knew, but... she just liked him.
Shen Changhe watched her cry, and his heart felt like it was being pulled.
"But the daughter of General Shen is me, brother. I am very fortunate that I was born in the prosperous Shen family and can stand by his side."
She has the powerful Shen family to rely on, so Xiao Yuan has no choice but to marry her. Isn't this also a kind of fate?
Shen Anan’s stubbornness completely choked Shen Changhe.
“Brother, I know what you are worried about.” Shen Anan stood up, walked to Shen Changhe, stretched out her hand and pinched his sleeve coquettishly.
"As long as the Shen family doesn't fall, I will always be the Fourth Prince's consort, right? Even if Xiao Yuan doesn't like me, he will treat me well for the sake of the Shen family."
Shen Changhe closed his eyes slightly, his face full of helplessness, “Such a relationship will be very difficult, and my brother doesn’t want you to be wronged.”
"An An, as long as you don't want to, my father and I will help you reject this marriage even if it means sacrificing our official positions."
"I do." Shen Anan burst into tears, "Brother, I do."
She believes that love will grow over time, and even if there is no love between men and women, there will always be family love.
She is his wife, and in his heart, she must always be different from others.
Shen Changhe lowered his head, not daring to look into his sister's eyes. The words he said were somewhat cruel, "But my people reported back that he was not busy with government affairs today, but went to Duan Mansion."
Shen Anan was stunned for a moment.
"Is it...his teacher's house?"
Shen Changhe nodded slightly, "That's right, but I'm not going to visit Mr. Duan, but... to attend the birthday party of the third lady of the Duan family."
Shen Anan lowered her head, slowly loosened Shen Changhe's sleeve, blinked her long eyelashes, and did not speak for a long time.
After a long while, she finally spoke with difficulty, "That... Miss Duan San, is she his... sweetheart? Big brother, have you ever seen her? What kind of girl is she?"
Shen Changhe shook his head, "I've never seen her, but everyone in the capital knows that she likes Xiao Yuan, and the relationship between the two can be called close."
"Miss Duan San...is very popular in the capital, has outstanding talent, and looks."
Shen Anan's tears fell silently, and her two little hands stirred vigorously back and forth, "But... why didn't my aunt tell me?"
Her voice choked.
How could this happen? Why didn't anyone ever tell her that Xiao Yuan had a lover?
Then what is she? A man who steals someone else's love?
Shen Changhe opened his mouth, then closed it helplessly.
Everyone knows what my aunt is thinking. She has put a lot of thought into marrying An An into the royal family. How could she tell An An about this?
