Chapter 125: Marriage Exchange (6)
This light and airy remark almost choked Old Madam Shen to the point of suffocating her.
After Shen Miao finished saying this, she really said hello to Old Madam Shen and left.
"This evil girl! She has no respect for the law!" Old Madam Shen was furious. Due to her lowly background and inability to utter elegant words, she cursed: "Little bitch! She deserves the blood of that old bitch!"
The “old bitch” she was talking about was naturally Shen Xin’s biological mother and Shen Miao’s biological grandmother.
Ren Wanyun raised her head and looked towards the door with a sinister look, but Shen Miao's figure was no longer there.
"Didn't you say she would definitely agree to this?" Old Madam Shen pointed her finger at Ren Wanyun. "How can she agree to this?" She said, "The way she looks, how can she agree to this? What should we do next?"
Not only was Old Madam Shen puzzled, Ren Wanyun was also baffled. Even Shen Qing might have found it difficult to resist Wei Qian's offer, yet Shen Miao had rejected it outright without even a second thought. She pondered, "She must still be obsessed with Prince Ding. She pretends to be indifferent, but in reality, she hasn't given up. Otherwise, she wouldn't have rejected a family like this outright." She didn't even have the shyness of a girl hearing about her marriage.
"Then what should we do now?" Madam Shen said unhappily, "If she doesn't give in, how can we write to Shen Xin?"
Their original plan was to coax Shen Miao into revealing her feelings for someone in a letter to Shen Xin. They would then arrange the marriage before Shen Xin returned to the capital, swapping the brides of the two families. They would then place all the blame on Shen Miao. Once a woman is married, her temperament disappears. Fearful, Shen Miao would not reveal anything. Shen Xin would be unaware of Shen Miao's swapped marriages with Shen Qing, believing she was in love with the young master of the Huang family. Huang Dexing was a man of many talents, a fact unknown to anyone except those close to the Huang family. From the outside, Huang Dexing was considered a good and loving man.
But now Shen Miao herself has shown her dissatisfaction with the Wei family marriage, not to mention writing a letter to Shen Xin. If Shen Miao herself disagrees, many of her future plans will be ruined, and a lot of trouble will be added for no reason.
"Since you won't take the soft approach, then use the hard approach." Ren Wanyun said viciously, "Didn't mother lock her up in the ancestral hall? We can say whatever we want about what's happening outside. In short, we must arrange this marriage as soon as possible, get married as soon as possible, and replace Qing'er with her." Otherwise, even if they could get through the wedding night, Shen Qing's belly would not be soothed. While Shen Qing couldn't see anything, they had to finish it quickly.
Madam Shen glanced at Ren Wanyun and said nothing. Although she also wanted the eldest wife to suffer misfortune, if she really forced it, once Shen Xin found out and implicated her, she would be in trouble.
Ren Wanyun knew what Old Madam Shen was thinking at a glance. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will make my own arrangements afterward. It won't be traced back to you."
Having said that, Madam Shen no longer pretended to be so polite. She said, "Then let's do as you say."
…
On the Hundred Flowers Tower, amidst the lingering sounds of silk and bamboo, a handsome young man, dressed in a casually flowing purple robe, resembled a faint, shimmering silk thread from the heavens. His eyelashes were extremely long, and his peach-shaped eyes were incredibly beautiful, yet when he looked at people, he shone with a subtle coldness and cruelty.
"Ahem," a light cough broke the silence in the pavilion. The young man in fine clothes held his folding fan across his chest and made a begging gesture: "I'm sorry, I'm late."
"You're late too, how surprising." The young man in purple glanced at him.
Su Mingfeng touched his nose. The thing he hated most about this friend was that he was not punctual. Fortunately, he had a close relationship with him. If it were someone else, Xie Jingxing would have walked away long ago and would not have waited for an incense stick.
"It's true that Wei Qian was acting out of character today," Su Mingfeng said with a wry smile. "You know the young master of the Secretary's family. He's quite pitiful. He already has a girl he loves, but his family has arranged a marriage for him with another young lady. The other party has even accepted his engagement letter, so I'm afraid the marriage will soon be settled. Wei Qian was upset, so he asked me to drink. However," Su Mingfeng pointed at himself, "I'm seriously ill now and can't drink. I had to persuade him for half an hour."
"Boring." Xie Jingxing said with a cold face. Obviously, Su Mingfeng spent so much time on such a boring thing, which made him late for a long time, which made him very unhappy.
Su Mingfeng felt helpless. Xie Jingxing appeared cynical, always smiling, but in reality, he was deeply vindictive and extremely picky. He didn't know what had gone wrong these past few days, but his expression was so indifferent. Whenever Xie Jingxing looked at people so calmly, Su Mingfeng felt the creeps run down his spine.
"In fact, Wei Qian is quite unlucky. The wife his family chose for him couldn't have been anyone else, but she's such a fool. Everyone in Mingqi knew about her pursuit of Queen Ding before, so Wei Qian had no choice but to marry her." He quickly found a topic to arouse Xie Jingxing's interest: "You should know who she is, right? Shen Miao, the legitimate daughter of Chen Xin, is lucky enough to marry Wei Qian."
“You said,” Xie Jingxing suddenly spoke up and slowly asked back: “Chen Miao?”
