Shen Yunting knew that her daughter's reaction just now was to take care of her father's feelings, but based on her understanding over the years, her husband did not take this matter to heart.

If it weren't for his own willingness and his strong insistence, I would never have agreed to let him go to the North with me back then.

Since this was the result he fought for himself, there's nothing wrong with talking about it.

However, she still really likes her daughter's ability to take care of people's feelings.

It's already difficult enough to be a smart person, let alone a smart person who is willing to be tolerant of others.

This makes it an even more precious quality.

Everyone split into four rooms, and quickly finished washing up and went to bed.

Shen Xingmian even dreamed of the scene of the wealthy man's daughter choosing a husband. After all, it was one of the few lively events in ancient times, and she was still very curious about it.

She woke up at 8 a.m. the next day, probably because it was cold and her body needed more sleep. Even though she went to bed at 9 p.m., she still couldn't get up early in the morning.

While eating breakfast, Shen Xingyan leaned close to her yawning younger sister's ear and whispered with a chuckle:

"Luckily, my sister is here. Now I can stay in bed a little longer without my mother scolding me. Before, she wouldn't let me stay in bed even a little bit. She would just pull the covers off. Ugh, that was so cruel!"

Shen Xingmian was still groggy and not fully awake. She yawned and agreed, "Yes, it's too cruel."

She yawned so much that tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't know why she was so sleepy. After thinking about it, the only reason she could think of was that she needed to get enough sleep to grow.

Moreover, she suffered from insomnia and light sleep in her previous life, so being able to eat and sleep well in this life is a very happy thing for her.

Shen Xingmian lived two lifetimes before learning one very important thing: to treat herself like a child and pamper her, but not spoil her.

She lived her life without understanding anything. She could endure any grievance or hardship. Only on the day she died did she realize that living like that for the rest of her life was not only boring but also extremely stifling.

In this life, she plans to be an honest lazybones. She will do what she is supposed to do, but she will also definitely take the lazy days when she can.

Let those who preach "suffering a loss is a blessing" suffer the consequences; let them suffer to their heart's content.

If that's not enough, she can also help them create some.

I guarantee I'll be happy to help!

hey-hey.

They ate breakfast in the inn's lobby, not in their rooms, because they wanted to gather some information.

Regardless of whether the news is useful or not, Shen Zhiheng felt that people should not be separated from others for too long, and that their families should not live in isolation.

Especially in families with many children, the adults may not care, but the children can't just stay in contact with the adults at home; otherwise, how can they amount to anything?

So whenever he had the chance, he would bring them out to meet people.

Even if you don't talk to people, just listening to their conversations is a way to broaden your horizons. You can't live too isolated a life.

Sure enough, upon hearing the key phrases "the young lady of the wealthy family" and "recruiting a son-in-law," his precious granddaughter's eyelids seemed to snap open immediately, and her little eyes glanced in the direction of the speaker.

Sure enough, rumors are a great way to stay alert!

Shen Xingmian's still somewhat muddled mind picked up on the key words, and she immediately became more alert, her eyes brightening considerably as she looked at the speaker.

She slowly scanned the crowd around her and indeed spotted several students with a strong scholarly air.

Although they have ordinary looks, they have a refined and scholarly demeanor.

She didn't care too much about people's appearance because her family's genes were so good. Plus, seeing Xiao Yanyue, who was already quite stunning even before she had fully grown up, made her really indifferent to ordinary looks.

However, since temperament is a somewhat mysterious thing, it's still worth observing further.

For example, among these students, some seem to have their ambitions written all over their faces, while others appear completely indifferent.

But if he were truly indifferent, would he still be here today?

Shen Xingmian felt that not pretending too much and directly expressing her thoughts would make her seem more open and honest.

Of course, it's not necessarily good to be overly eager for quick success; it depends on the person and the situation.

However, she was just watching the show. Regardless of these people's character, it had nothing to do with her. It wasn't like she was finding a husband for her cousin.

"Everyone says that Miss Liu likes poetry and books, but I wonder what kind she likes—poems, songs, or storybooks?"

"Such top-secret information, even if someone knew it, they wouldn't have told us in advance. We can only try our luck."

As the two were talking, a somewhat shabby-looking young man approached them and said mysteriously:

"Gentlemen, I do have some top-secret information. My cousin is Miss Liu's personal maid, and she knows all about that young lady's preferences. What do you think, should we keep this information or not? Hehe."

These ancient people weren't stupid at all. They even managed to make money by taking advantage of someone else's marriage proposal. Indeed, clever people who are good at seizing business opportunities can be found everywhere.

"How can we be sure that the information you give us is true? What if you just make it up and try to deceive us? Where can we go to seek justice?"

Hey, these two aren't stupid after all.

"Hmm... this is a bit difficult. No matter what method of proof I come up with, you still need to see Miss in person to confirm the information. I can't afford to wait until then to pay the money."

"Never mind, I'll ask other people who seem to be destined to answer."

After saying that, the young man didn't press the matter and decisively went to the next table.

Shen Xingmian couldn't help but feel a bit curious about this person. Although he left swiftly, it might not be a scheme to lure people deeper into his scheme.

Judging from their conflicted expressions, they were reluctant to let the news fall into the wrong hands.

Shen Xingmian couldn't help but look at her father, and saw that he was also looking at the young man with some appreciation. She immediately felt that she had a good eye for talent.

Sure enough, one of them immediately stood up and forcibly pulled the boy, who had already been standing at another table, back to his original position.

The people at that table probably didn't hear their conversation and didn't know what they meant. Once the people left, they didn't pay any more attention.

"You have to guarantee that this information is actually useful, otherwise my money will have been wasted."

The young man smiled; though his clothes were tattered, his smile gave off a sunny and cheerful vibe.

"Look at what you're saying. Of course, my news is true, but the selection of a son-in-law depends on Miss Liu's approval. I can only guarantee that the news is true, but I cannot guarantee which of the two of you will be selected."

Therefore, whether it will be 'useful' is hard to guarantee; it all depends on how you two handle it.
