Chapter 124: Marriage Exchange (5)
"It's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words," Shen Miao said with a smile, "My granddaughter's marriage will naturally be taken care of by my parents."
"You little girl!" Old Madam Shen was about to lose her temper when she saw she had hit a snag. But when she heard Ren Wanyun's soft cough beside her, she calmed down and put on a calm expression. "You little girl, you're really too willful. You used to admire... so it was all right. But now I see you've sobered up a lot these days, and I think you know your limits. The Zhongshu Shilang family is a good match for us, and the young master of the Wei family, Wei Qian, is also handsome and a man of both literary and military talents. Even if your father were here, he wouldn't say a word against this marriage. This is the first time in your life that such a family has proposed marriage to you. If you don't seize this opportunity, the young master of the Wei family will become someone else's husband in the blink of an eye."
Although Old Lady Shen was not a good elder, she was a good matchmaker. Perhaps because she was born a singing girl, she knew that young girls generally liked to be pretty, so she just said that Wei Qian was the ideal man in everyone's heart. Although Shen Miao knew that Old Lady Shen was not lying, that Wei Qian was indeed an ideal man.
Despite this, Shen Miao remained unmoved and said calmly, "Young Master Wei is indeed good, but it is really not what I want. Grandmother, please forget it. My marriage will naturally be decided by my father and mother."
"You!" After being contradicted again and again, Old Madam Shen, who was not a patient person to begin with, finally said angrily, "Are you complaining that I, your grandmother, am meddling in your marriage and overreaching?"
"My granddaughter didn't say that." The implication is that you said it yourself.
Old Madam Shen was nearly mad with rage. The unruly Shen Miao was now covered in thorns, unable to move, a sight that made her feel suffocated and painful. Old Madam Shen hated the eldest wife, but was also wary of Shen Xin. Therefore, over the years, despite her anger, she had to remain reserved, avoiding any closeness to Shen Miao, acting like a stern yet fair grandmother. She couldn't hit Shen Miao, as Shen Xin would find out, and at most, she would reprimand her. So, she watched with cold eyes as Ren Wanyun and Chen Ruoqiu treated Shen Miao like a useless child. While much was said about their overpraising, it was rarely discovered.
As a result, no one knew what was going on. One day, the spoiled Shen Miao suddenly became smart. Not only was she smart, but her temperament also became unyielding. She angrily said, "Do you still have any sense of respect and inferiority?"
Shen Miao felt bored. Old Madam Shen's patience and determination would definitely not last more than two days if she were thrown into the harem. She had seen too many powerful women in her previous life, and she really didn't want to take Old Madam Shen, who was so shallow and ignorant, seriously, seriously.
“Let me ask you again,” Old Madam Shen still remembered the purpose of today, and looked at Shen Miao gloomily and asked, “What are your intentions for this marriage?”
“I don’t agree.” Shen Miao replied.
"Okay, okay, okay." After saying "Okay" three times in a row, Fu'er and Xi'er hurried forward to touch Old Lady Shen's chest to prevent her from fainting from anger. Old Lady Shen laughed in anger: "Since that's the case, it seems you don't truly repent. From today on, you will move out of your courtyard and live in the Shen family ancestral hall. You will chant sutras every day and see if your rebellious temper can be tempered!"
Living in the ancestral hall, facing the ancestral tablets every day, a delicate little girl would probably be frightened. Moreover, the ancestral hall is located in a cold and gloomy place. If she stayed there for a few days, she might get sick. Old Lady Shen’s words were also spoken in anger. After she finished speaking, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes. She looked at Shen Miao, probably waiting for Shen Miao to beg for mercy.
But Shen Miao didn't even frown as she said, "Yes, my granddaughter will go back and pack her things and rush over immediately."
