Chapter 308: Help Her (2)
"I didn't say anything about you two." Shen Miao smiled and said, "A gentleman loves a beautiful lady. My cousin is so beautiful that it's natural for a prince to be attracted to her. But Prince Sun is indeed a good man. He is handsome and has a rich family background. Whoever can become his wife will become the mistress of the entire Shangshu Mansion. After all, Lord Sun only has this one legitimate son."
Jing Chuchu pursed her lips and said nothing. Shen Miao stood up and said with a smile, "I just came here to say something casually. Don't take it to heart, cousin. In this world, most things are determined by fate. If there really is that fate, who knows what the future will be like. By then, cousin, you will definitely be able to stay in Dingjing City for the rest of your life." After saying this, Shen Miao turned and walked out.
Jing Chuchu sat alone in the room. She subconsciously pulled the smooth jade bracelet from the box again, stroking the lines on it. She hadn't expected Sun Cainan to be the son of the Minister of Personnel. As for why he hadn't revealed his identity, it was probably because, as the playwright had said, he didn't want her to be close to him because of his family background. Didn't that mean Sun Cainan was sincere in his love for her? Otherwise, why would he have given her a bracelet worth a thousand taels upon their first meeting?
To be fair, Jing Chuchu came from a humble family. Although she was admired by many princes and nobles in Suzhou City, those seemed like small fry compared to the work of Sun Cainan before her. She had seen the prosperity of Dingjing City and was even more reluctant to return to Suzhou. Now, Shen Miao's last words had touched her heart. If she married Sun Cainan, she could stay in Dingjing City forever.
But...what about Madam Shen?
Outside, Shen Miaofang stepped out of the yard and ran into Jing Guansheng. When Jing Guansheng saw her, his eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Cousin, are you here to see Chuchu?"
Shen Miao nodded.
"My cousin is getting closer and closer to Chuchu." Jing Guansheng wanted to go forward, but Jingzhe and Guyu were guarding him like lechers. Jing Guansheng prided himself on being a gentleman, so he couldn't get closer with a greedy look on his face.
"It's okay, we're all family." Shen Miao smiled, and without even glancing at Jing Guansheng, she walked out of the yard.
Guyu asked in a low voice: "Miss, do you hope to be a matchmaker between cousin and Mr. Sun?" Shen Miao had just been praising Sun Cainan's good points, which sounded particularly strange to the two maids. They felt that this was very similar to the matchmakers who came to propose marriages.
“When have you ever seen me so kind?” Shen Miao said expressionlessly.
"Why is that..." Guyu was even more confused.
“You have to make my cousin’s heart turmoil,” Shen Miao smiled faintly, “The old lady and my cousin had the same goal before, so the two of them are naturally close. But if they are not seeking the same thing, guess what will happen?”
Jingzhe suddenly realized: "Dog bites dog!" Then he reacted immediately and said in a panic: "Didn't I say they were dogs? I, I can't read..."
“You’re not wrong.” Shen Miao said, “The saying ‘dog bites dog’ is quite good. Also, these few days, go and build a good relationship with Fu’er from Rongjing Hall.”
"Fu'er?" Shen Miao was stunned.
"The old lady wants to marry her to the one-eyed blind son of the housekeeper." Shen Miao said, "But Fu'er is very reluctant."
"Oh my god." Jingzhe was stunned. "Fu'er has been with the old lady since she was a child. How could..." Even cats and dogs have some feelings for each other. How could she marry a beautiful girl in her prime to a one-eyed man? Fu'er was quick to act and although she had a sharp tongue, she was loyal to Old Madam Shen.
"Old Madam Shen has received the annual share of the land profits from the steward, so naturally she wants to show some appreciation. If she doesn't want to pay money, she has to pay people. It's just that Fu'er had a bad fate but was born well."
