Chapter 127 Imprisonment (2)
Ren Wanyun sneered inwardly. As a father, Shen Gui was truly heartless and ungrateful. Even for someone like Huang Dexing, Shen Gui could still say such words about a good family. Although she had long known that her partner was a cold and profit-driven person, the thought of it now still made Ren Wanyun shudder.
But now was not the time for her to think about these things. She wiped her eyes and said, "Master is right. I was mistaken. I stay in the backyard all day and can't stand seeing these big things. The family Master picked must be the best. I didn't want Qing'er to marry there before, but now I think this may be a good thing for Qing'er."
Shen Gui was stunned at first, then looked at her in disbelief: "You agreed?" Ren Wanyun valued Shen Qing more than anything else, so how could she agree to this marriage so easily? You know, Huang Dexing is a homosexual.
"Yes." A sad look appeared on Ren Wanyun's face: "With Qing'er's condition, which good family would be willing to accept her in the future? After much thought, I only think that the Huang family is good. At least if Qing'er marries there, she will not lack food and clothing. If she really has a hard life, that's her fate..." After saying that, she pulled her sleeves and cried softly.
Seeing Ren Wanyun like this, Shen Gui felt relieved, and began to believe her words. Shen Qing was no longer a virgin, and the Huang family simply needed a daughter of a noble family to take the position of Madam Huang to deceive the world. Shen Qing marrying Huang Dexing and having a life of ease and comfort was the best outcome. Although as a woman, she might never achieve a perfect love life, after what happened, who would want her?
Thinking of this, Chen Gui sighed, walked over to Ren Wanyun, patted her on the back, and comforted her, "It's good that you've figured it out. Qing'er is my daughter after all, and I won't harm her. Mr. Huang and I have some friendship, so I will let him take care of Qing'er. Qing'er will never suffer any injustice when she marries him."
Ren Wanyun despised Chen Gui's high-sounding words in her heart, but a look of dependence appeared on her face: "Then please ask Master to mention it to Mr. Huang and ask the Huang family to send someone to exchange the engagement letter."
"So fast?" Shen Gui was a little surprised.
"Qing'er is in this state now, how can we delay it any longer?" Ren Wanyun sighed. "The longer we delay, the more likely someone will find out. After all, Qing'er hasn't been out for a long time. Marrying into the Huang family can at least conceal it a little. Besides," Ren Wanyun patted her chest, "the longer the night, the more dreams there are. Ever since Qing'er's accident, I've always been afraid."
Seeing her frightened look, Chen Gui pondered for a moment and said, "You have a point. Qing'er's matter cannot be delayed. So, I will write to Master Huang today to mention this matter. If we have exchanged engagement letters, we can discuss a date."
"Everything depends on you, Master." Ren Wanyun said meekly.
Chen Gui said a few more words before leaving, satisfied. Today, Ren Wanyun had been so humble and agreeable, admitting her mistakes and doing what he had said. This had made him feel much more at ease, and the gloom of the past few days had vanished, and he even walked with a touch of elation.
After Chen Gui left Caiyun Garden, Xianglan closed the outer door and said anxiously, "Madam, is it really okay to keep this a secret from the master?"
Ren Wanyun made Shen Gui believe that Shen Qing was truly willing to marry Huang Dexing, but she did not tell her about her plan to swap the marriages of Shen Qing and Shen Miao. This way, Shen Qing would marry the true lover Wei Qian, while Shen Miao would marry the dissolute and dissolute Huang Dexing.
Naturally, this matter could not be known to Shen Gui. No matter what the outcome, a man like Shen Gui would not take any risk that might affect his career. However, Ren Wanyun could not let her daughter step into the fire pit.
