Shi Murou changed into a green gauze dress embroidered with large red floral patterns, and she also wore a jade hairpin in her hair. This combination almost made Qiao Lian'er speechless.
Before even entering the room, Shi Murou peeked inside.
"Sigh, why isn't that little girl here? She's late. Honestly, what a brat."
Hearing the dissatisfied voices, Qiao Lian'er was speechless. She hadn't made an appointment with Shi Murou at the same time.
"Miss Shi, I'm here." Qiao Lian'er thought to herself, but smiled on the surface.
Perhaps it was because she was wearing clothes with very high saturation, but Shi Murou looked much darker, and her white teeth were particularly noticeable when she smiled.
Shi Murou turned around, her face beaming with joy, and waved to her: "Come here quickly, we've been waiting for you."
"Alright, alright, you two stay away from me." Shi Murou chased the two thugs away again.
So that I wouldn't have to report to my grandfather and father if I saw her eating snacks.
Her father told her to eat less, saying that she was getting fatter and fatter and would be harder to find a partner. But Shen Liang said that her figure was the best. How was she fat?
Qiao Lian'er quickly walked up to Shi Murou, put down the basket, and took out the jar.
"Miss Shi, you said yesterday that you would give me half a string of cash, is that true?"
"Of course it's true, would I cheat you out of even a penny?" After the money was exchanged, Shi Murou proudly raised her head: "Do I look good in this outfit today?"
"It looks beautiful. Red and green are like green leaves and red flowers, the best combination in the world." To avoid having the extra half tael of silver taken back, Qiao Lian'er said against her will.
“I always said red and green look good together. I couldn’t find this combination in the tailor shops. The embroiderer didn’t even want to make it for me. But when I put it on, Grandpa said it looked good. You said it looked good too.” A blush rose on Shi Murou’s face. “He also said it looked good.”
“I saw it yesterday,” Qiao Lian’er said with a mysterious smile.
"Ah, what did you see?" Shi Murou exclaimed in surprise.
Yesterday morning, she went to Shen Liang's place, and the two hugged each other for a long time, almost—
If people found out about this, and it reached Grandpa and Dad's ears, they'd break her legs.
She's only holding back because they're not engaged yet.
Seeing Shi Murou's guilty look, Qiao Lian'er couldn't help but wonder how far she and Shen Liang had progressed.
She said, "I saw you talking outside Tianxiang Tower."
Shi Murou finally breathed a sigh of relief. She and Shen Liang had been seen by many eyes, and they had not done anything inappropriate in public.
"So what do you think of his appearance?"
Qiao Lian'er nodded: "Of course he is handsome. Miss Shi has good taste."
"However, when I first saw it, it looked familiar, so I looked closely and realized that it was someone I knew."
"Oh my, you know Brother Shen Liang?" Shi Murou was pleasantly surprised.
"Yes, we all come from the same place. Brother Shenliang is not only handsome, but also knowledgeable and capable, so many girls in our area admire him."
Shi Murou looked up at the sky. She didn't care about those country girls. Shen Liang would never let her go and choose those women from poor families.
Qiao Lian'er continued, "It seems he has a fiancée."
