Chapter 159 Plan (3)
"But Jiaojiao," Shen Xin whispered softly, "The eldest son of the Wei family is not bad. Are you so resistant because you already have a man you like? You..." He hesitated. The letters sent by the Shen family frequently brought news of Shen Miao's infatuation with the prince. In this world, if Shen Miao liked any man, he and Luo Xueyan would not stop her. But the Tian family was different. Now that the princes were vying for the throne, if the Shen family got involved, they would probably be dragged into the quagmire together.
But a little girl like Shen Miao wouldn't understand these things. On the way back, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan had discussed countless times how to persuade Shen Miao to give up this idea, but in the end, they were helpless. Shen Miao was stubborn by nature, and once she made up her mind, nothing could change her mind. Besides, asking a little girl to give up her lover was something anyone else would probably not accept.
Shen Miao knew what Shen Xin wanted to say at a glance, and she said calmly: "I don't have a lover in my heart. The reason I don't want to get married is simply because I heard that the young master of the Wei family already has a lover. Even if he is good, he already has his moonlight in his heart. Why should I be the one to break up the couple and live a life without anyone?"
Her words made Shen Xin and his wife feel a little dizzy. Why did Shen Miao say such mature words? She seemed like a woman who had seen a lot. Secondly, what did she mean by not having a lover?
Shen Miao only gradually came to know Wei Qian after becoming the Queen in her previous life. In her previous life, there was no mention of the Wei family proposing marriage. Wei Qian married his cousin. As a rare young talent in Dingjing, Wei Qian doted on his wife, and a story spread at the time. From this, it can be inferred that Wei Qian and his cousin must have been childhood sweethearts. It's likely that even if the Wei family came to propose marriage, the young master of the Wei family would not be willing to accept it.
"Jiaojiao, don't you like...like His Royal Highness Prince Ding?" Luo Xueyan gritted her teeth and asked.
"Prince Ding?" Upon hearing this, Shen Miao said calmly, "His Royal Highness Prince Ding is a descendant of the royal family. How could I possibly be so high up as to marry him? At first, I was ignorant of my own limitations. Now that I've calmed down, I realize how far I've come. I won't dare mention this matter again."
Luo Xueyan was stunned again. Shen Xin and Shen Qiu were men after all, so it was fine if they didn't understand. Although she had a carefree personality, she was still a woman after all. Women understood the feelings in women's hearts best. She thought Shen Miao was just saying that, but after carefully observing Shen Miao's expression, she found that when she talked about Prince Ding, Shen Miao didn't show any emotion at all, as if she was talking about a stranger.
Before Luo Xueyan could speak, Chen Xin called out, "Jiaojiao, Dad doesn't agree with you. No matter who our Shen family is, you are still a match for them. Among the children of Mingqi, who dares to look down on you? Even if..."
"Cough." Luo Xueyan coughed lightly and glared at Chen Xin fiercely. It didn't matter that Chen Xin praised his daughter. It was not a big deal. Shen Miao had finally given up her thoughts about Prince Ding. Isn't Chen Xin just causing trouble for himself?
Shen Xin also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and looked away as if nothing had happened.
Luo Xueyan looked at Shen Miao again, and seeing that she looked calm, she finally felt relieved and said with a smile: "Jiaojiao is still young, so there is no need to rush to get married. There are so many good men in Mingqi, and our Jiaojiao is so beautiful, so why worry about not being able to find a good husband? Don't worry, our Jiaojiao's husband will definitely be a great hero."
Shen Miao lowered her eyes and smiled, saying nothing. Her fantasies about the man beside her had long been worn away by the repeated disappointments in the harem in her previous life. In this life, she had long since given up on marrying, but she couldn't let Shen Xin and his wife know this.
Normal girls would be a bit shy when hearing about their marriages, and in the eyes of the couple, Shen Miao was not a cold and hard person. But after Luo Xueyan finished speaking, Shen Miao didn't react at all, and they couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Although Shen Miao hadn't been close to them before, they still knew her personality. But this time, Shen Miao had become even more unfamiliar, and had aged a lot overnight, leaving the couple unsure how to treat their daughter. If they tried to persuade and coax her as before, facing Shen Miao's calm gaze, they would look like fools.
