Chapter 222 Getting Married (7)
After the sedan finally got up, Shen Yuan returned to the gate of the Shen residence, walked to Shen Miao and stood beside her. He watched the sedan go away and said, "Fifth sister seems quite calm."
“I’m not the one getting married, so why shouldn’t I be at peace?” Shen Miao replied.
"Fifth sister, do you know what will happen to Qing'er's future if she gets married?"
"The future is not decided by you and me."
Chen Yuan seemed not to have heard what Chen Miao said, and continued to himself: "Things in the world are ever-changing. Sometimes you are in a dilemma, but you never know whether there will be a bright future. Sometimes, even though the road ahead seems open, you never know," his voice suddenly sank: "You are pushing yourself into a dead end."
“That’s right,” Shen Miao smiled, “No one can predict what’s happening in this world. People are subject to misfortunes and blessings at any moment. You never know, there might be no way forward.”
Chen Yuan finally turned his head and looked directly at Chen Miao. His eyes looked her up and down, making people feel particularly uncomfortable. What made people uncomfortable was also his words. He said, "I only discovered today that Fifth Sister is actually a smart person."
Shen Miao remained silent, but heard a loud shout from behind: "Sister!" Shen Qiu hurried over, glanced at Shen Yuan warily, and then said to Shen Miao: "Sister, don't run around. There are many bad guys out there. You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Who knows what tricks he might use."
Chen Yuan glanced at Chen Qiu and laughed again: "Big brother is really good at telling jokes. Besides, the fifth sister is so smart, I'm afraid no one can calculate her. As for the saying that you can know a person's face but not his heart, maybe... there is someone who is more suitable for it. It's hard to say."
Chen Qiu sneered, "My sister is kindhearted by nature, and can't compare to those sinister villains. As her brother, I naturally have to worry about her all the time, otherwise those educated jackals will eat her up in one bite, and she won't even have a place to cry. Come on, sister, let's take a carriage to the prince's mansion!"
The people of the Shen family also had to go to the Prince's Mansion to attend the wedding banquet, but Shen Qiu's words really showed that he did not trust Shen Yuan.
Chen Yuan looked at the backs of the brother and sister as they left, a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes.
The Shen family's wedding sedan would travel across most of Dingjing City, heading for the busiest streets. After all, it was a marriage personally arranged by the Empress, so the ceremony naturally had to be grand. Even though everyone knew the marriage was not a glorious one, they still had to make it known with drums and gongs.
On the busiest stretch of street, at the Happy House window seat, a young man in white was still fanning himself gently as usual, gazing out the window at the grand procession of the wedding procession. As the procession marched, they scattered copper coins, and the onlookers rushed forward to grab them, seemingly filled with joy.
However, only the people in the sedan chair know the various feelings involved.
"The Shen family's wedding is quite grand." Ji Yushu played with the silver ingot in his hand and said, "I haven't seen such a lively wedding in a long time. I wonder if it will be as grand when I marry Miss Shaoyao in the future."
"You're still thinking about your Miss Shaoyao." Gao Yang glanced at him and said, "Yushu, I remember you have a fiancée, right? Does your fiancée know that you're being so attentive to Miss Shaoyao?"
"I already said it was a joke about a child marriage. Who knows what she looks like? I won't marry her! I just love Miss Shaoyao. If Miss Shaoyao doesn't work out, then the fifth lady of the Shen family is not bad either." He chuckled and looked at the person opposite him: "Thank you, Third Brother, right?"
Xie Jingxing glanced at him and simply didn't bother to speak. Gao Yang sneered: "Chen Miao? I'm afraid you won't be able to marry her in the future."
"What? Don't make her look like a demon. I only value her intelligence, quick thinking, courage, and carefulness." Ji Yushu was unconvinced. "Besides, she's pretty, too. I heard she once had a crush on Prince Ding. How can a girl have such bad eyesight? Can Prince Ding compare to me? Really."
Gao Yang looked at Ji Yushu and said, "You're really good. But your Miss Shen seems to be in trouble soon."
"What trouble?" Ji Yushu asked.
"Shen Qing's brother, Chen Yuan, is back." Gao Yang gloated, "Chen Miao tricked Shen Qing into coming to the Prince's Mansion. Chen Yuan will definitely not let Shen Miao go. This Chen Yuan is no pushover. Among the second wives in the General's Mansion, even Shen Gui is probably no match for Chen Yuan's cunning and shrewdness. Moreover, this Chen Yuan is the most ruthless and merciless. He will never show mercy when he strikes."
"Chen Yuan doesn't seem to be an ordinary person." Ji Yushu suddenly remembered something: "Isn't he Fu Xiuyi's man?"
"Just a small follower." Xie Jingxing suddenly spoke, glancing lazily at the people below: "How dare you look down on a jumping clown?"
"Ha, you're still so arrogant." Gao Yang asked, "What's next?"
"wait."
Wait for others to start, and then... pick up the leaks.
