Chapter 1147 Extra Chapter (3)
However, Xie Jingxing spoke at this time. He said, "Gao Yang is a smart man, but being smart can easily lead to mistakes."
Shen Miao immediately understood what he meant. She turned around and looked at Xie Jingxing: "Are you saying that Gao Yang might know what I'm thinking and is deliberately keeping it to himself, waiting for Cousin Tan to speak?"
"Not everyone is as flexible as your husband." Xie Jingxing raised the corner of his lips.
“Hehe,” Shen Miao glanced at him sideways: “Why don’t you say that not everyone is as shameless as you?”
Xie Jingxing's face turned pale, and he heard Shen Miao say again: "But you are right, being too clever can backfire. Gao Yang has the personality to control everything, and he wants to wait for Cousin Tan to figure it out. I am afraid he is wrong."
Xie Jingxing seemed to be thinking: "What do you want to do?"
Shen Miao stared at him: "Of course I'm helping Cousin Tan." Then she moved closer to Xie Jingxing viciously and threatened: "Don't tell Gao Yang!"
Gao Yang was Xie Jingxing's person, so Xie Jingxing would naturally give her some advice occasionally. Xie Jingxing grabbed her hand and smiled ambiguously, "That depends on how Madam performs tonight."
…
Shen Miao kept her word and found a booklet the next day. It had three names on it and she had Luo Xueyan deliver it to the Luo residence. Ma was so grateful that she wanted to come to the palace to thank Shen Miao in person, but Luo Xueyan consoled her, saying, "I don't know if Tan'er will like it. Let's wait until it's done."
Ma Shi trusted the people Shen Miao had chosen. This time, she even asked Luo Sui and Luo Liantai to come along, and they both nodded repeatedly. Luo Liantai had held an official position in Daliang and had some understanding of the various officials. The three people Shen Miao had chosen were all young and talented people with good family backgrounds, clean records, and most importantly, absolutely upright character.
Luo Tan thought Ma was just talking, and even if she had such intentions, Shen Miao would definitely be on her side and would definitely not let her meet these people. Unexpectedly, Shen Miao not only followed Ma's nonsense, but also gave her a booklet. Angered, Luo Tan sat in the room, lamenting in front of the mirror that her little cousin no longer loved her.
Although he was reluctant, Luo Tan still wanted to meet the three young masters. Luo Liantai had cut off his financial resources and forbade him to leave the house. If he didn't obey, he didn't know how long he would be imprisoned. Ma wept before Luo Tan again. Luo Tan, a man who would only respond to soft words and not hard ones, felt that putting Ma in such a difficult position was truly unfilial, so he agreed to meet the three men.
The first one was the son of a cabinet minister. He was well-read and well-mannered, but his words made Luo Tan feel sleepy. He dozed off the whole afternoon and told Ma that if he lived with this man, he would definitely have an affair because of how boring it would be.
Ma was so frightened that she immediately arranged for a second young master.
The second young man was a deputy general in reserve. He was still young, and a few years later, he would surely have a better future. However, this young deputy general was very mature despite his youth. Although handsome, he looked intimidating. Luo Tan said that if he married him, he would worry at night about being hacked to death by the person next to him. The evil spirit was too strong.
Ma thought, indeed, girls are all spoiled. Although Luo Tan is carefree, if there is any friction with a military commander, he will be stubborn and unwilling to give in. If there is a quarrel, won't it be a mess? So she mentally rejected this second candidate as well.
On the third day, the last one finally arrived.
This one is Master He, the young master of the Zhongcheng family. Master He is only twenty years old, still quite young. Although his family is a civil servant, he also practices martial arts. He is considered a man of both civil and military talents.
