Chapter 699 Phoenix Fate (2)

Madam Su said, "I heard Minglang say that Mingfeng secretly likes the Fifth Miss. I didn't believe it at first because my son is a dull boy and has never been close to any girl. I didn't know what kind of person the Fifth Miss is, so I came here today. Now that I've seen the Fifth Miss, I finally understand why Mingfeng likes her. She's good-looking, has a good temperament, and is quite generous. I guess the Shen family is the only one in Mingqi who can raise a girl like her. To be honest with Madam Shen, not only Mingfeng, but I also like her very much, so I can't wait to talk to you about this. I know you're a straightforward person and like to be straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush."

These words were spoken with utmost sincerity, and Shen Miao was subtly praised. As a mother, what woman wouldn't like her daughter to be praised? Luo Xueyan's expression gradually brightened. However, Shen Miao's marriage couldn't be decided with a single word. Firstly, the Shen family held a special position within Mingqi. Any in-laws, too powerful or too insignificant, would be a problem. Choosing a suitable partner for Shen Miao was truly difficult. Secondly, while Su Mingfeng had a good reputation, he had fallen ill in recent years, delaying his official career. Luo Xueyan didn't want Shen Miao to marry a sickly man. Furthermore, Luo Xueyan and Su Mingfeng had never met, so she had no idea of his character. Thirdly, and most importantly, Su Mingfeng liked Shen Miao, but she didn't know if she liked him either. Luo Xueyan was an open-minded mother. Although the marriage was decided by her parents and the matchmaker, she wanted Shen Miao to be happy and to find a husband she liked. Therefore, such a hasty decision couldn't be made.

"My daughter's marriage cannot be decided for the time being." Luo Xueyan smiled and said, "On behalf of my master, I would like to thank the lady and the young master for their kindness. However, the marriage ceremony requires a lot of considerations, and I cannot give you an answer in such a short time. I'm afraid it will take some time to consider. As you said, we are all mothers. I love my daughter and hope you can understand." Luo Xueyan did not dare to say anything absolute and left some room.

This made Mrs. Su extremely satisfied. After talking for a few more minutes, Mrs. Su left.

After Madam Su left, Luo Xueyan's eyes darkened and became solemn.

All along, Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin had felt that Shen Miao was young and that marriage was not urgent. However, when Madam Su came to the house with the intention of seeking a marriage, she reminded Luo Xueyan that at this age, Shen Miao could be arranged to marry.

But what young talents are there in Dingjing City? Luo Xueyan planned to discuss this with Chen Xin after he returned, and also have someone make a list. It was time to look around.

…

Mrs. Su returned to the Su Mansion. For the first time today, Master Su did not go fishing or playing with birds. Instead, he stayed at home. Seeing Mrs. Su coming back, he hurried forward to rub her shoulders and told the maid to serve tea. When Master Su saw Mrs. Su, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. The servants around him were no longer surprised. Master Su asked, "How is it, what did Mrs. Shen say?"

"I haven't agreed, but I haven't said no either. I should think about it again." Madam Su said, "After all, I think it would be rude of them to go there so rashly today. Besides, the Shen family is not an ordinary family. It's not a bad thing to think about it for a while."

"I still need to think about it." Su Yu turned his face away: "What is there to think about?"

Madam Su laughed: "Do you think I can get your approval if I go there today?"

"Why not?" Su Yu asked, "What's wrong with Mingfeng? Is there another young talent like Mingfeng in Dingjing City? Any girl who marries Mingfeng is blessed by her past life, okay?" Then he thought of something else: "Wait, what about Miss Shen Wu?"
