Just moments ago, Shi Murou had a sweet expression on her face, but now she was clearly nervous.
She felt her heart skip a beat, and then leap into her throat.
That face looked even darker.
"What did you say? Shen Liang has a fiancée? He never told me that."
"I'll go ask him right now."
Qiao Lian'er quickly grabbed her sleeve: "Miss Shi, are you stupid? Doing this will only push Brother Shen Liang further away."
Shi Murou stopped, completely exasperated.
"I just went to ask him what happened, how did that push him away?"
Nevertheless, she dared not move rashly; she insisted on hearing Qiao Lian'er's reasoning.
Qiao Lian'er rubbed her lower back: "It's so sore to talk while standing."
"Come with me."
Shi Murou led her to the west wing, which had a living room in the middle, with a study on one side and a bedroom on the other. It was antique and spacious.
"Bring up the tea," Shi Murou instructed again.
She needs to figure this out clearly and see what to do.
A sip of top-quality Tieguanyin tea filled Qiao Lian'er's mouth with a sweet taste and soothed her throat.
"Alright, you can speak now. Why can't I ask Brother Shenliang?"
Qiao Lian'er looked at Shi Murou: "Has Brother Shen Liang told Miss Shi that he has a fiancée?"
Shi Murou's face was very pale: "No, that's not the case."
"Is Brother Shenliang good to Miss Shi?"
"Of course it's great. He's always so attentive to my needs and says he'll give me anything when he's able to."
Qiao Lian'er analyzed, "This shows that Brother Shen Liang has feelings for Miss Shi. He just doesn't want to reveal that he has a fiancée. There's something he can't say. If Miss Shi makes a scene in front of him, it will only ruin his impression of you and affect your relationship. That would be a loss."
Shi Murou thought about it and realized that this made sense.
"I can't believe it. You're only seven or eight years old, yet you know so much. You're like an adult."
"Then what's the situation with his fiancée? How did he suddenly get a fiancée? Since you're in the same place as him, tell me."
Qiao Lian'er said, "It seems that the betrothal was arranged when they were children, and both families agreed to it. Now that they have reached the age of marriage, Shen Liang has found someone he truly loves, and the girl's family wants to bring up the betrothal again at this time, which makes things difficult."
"So it was an arranged marriage when we were children. That's an adult matter and has nothing to do with Shen Liang. He was young at the time, what choice did he have?"
Now Shi Murou felt that Shen Liang must have absolutely no feelings for his childhood fiancée.
Instead, Shen Liang became the victim, the one who was forced into it.
Shen is pitiful.
“That makes sense, who can predict what will happen when we grow up?” Qiao Lian’er said this, but she was laughing in her heart. Your brother Shen Liang doesn’t even have the courage to tell you, he’s just thinking about finding a better job while still employed.
"Then tell me, what should I do?" Shi Murou asked, only then realizing that she was asking a seven or eight-year-old girl for advice.
Strangely, even though this little girl is so young, she seems to have a calm and composed demeanor, as if she has her own ideas.
Qiao Lian'er pondered for a moment: "How about you take one of the tokens of love that Shen Liang gave you, go to our village, and prove to the villagers that Shen Liang loves you? That way, the family that had arranged the marriage will back down, and Shen Liang will be completely yours."
