Chapter 629 Push Wave (4)
Shen Wan, intent on discouraging Shen Yue from marrying Fu Xiuyi, singled out the Wang family because they weren't on Fu Xiuyi's side in the succession struggle. As a result, Shen Yue's heart fell in love with Prince Ding, while the Shen family's third branch supported him. If Wang Bi had married Shen Yue, it would have inevitably led to trouble. A marriage between the Wang family and the Shen family's third branch would have also inevitably led to conflict. Therefore, no one in the Wang family would have allowed Shen Yue back in. Even Shen Dongling's marriage swap was a blessing for the Wang family; wasn't it great to be able to distance themselves from Prince Ding?
Shen Yue's fate with the Wang family was doomed to end. However, Shen Dongling wouldn't feel pity or sympathy for her. As the saying goes, so too will the result. This was all Shen Yue's own fault, and she would naturally have to bear the consequences.
Letting Shen Yue marry in as a co-wife was a deliberate attempt by the Wang family to make things difficult for them. Even if Shen Wan agreed, would Shen Yue obey? Shen Dongling didn't think so.
Not only did Shen Dongling not think so, Shen Miao also did not think so.
Jingzhe said: "There is a big commotion in the Shen Mansion. This good show is really exciting."
Shen Miao smiled nonchalantly: “Maybe. The bigger the commotion, the more likely it is that they will distance themselves from us.”
Jingzhe glanced at Shen Miao, then walked aside and whispered to Guyu, “What’s wrong with the young lady these past few days? Why do you seem so unhappy?”
Guyu was stunned for a moment, then looked towards Shen Miao, only to see Shen Miao sitting in the yard, not turning the page of the book, with one hand supporting her chin, looking at the sky lazily, not knowing what she was thinking.
"It seems a little bit." Guyu also nodded and said, "I haven't had any energy in the past few days."
"It's more than just listlessness?" Jingzhe shook his head. "In the past, when she saw the Shen family in trouble, she would always be happy. Now that the Shen family is in a mess, the girl just waved her hand when she heard about it, as if she had no interest. Could she be sick?"
"He can eat, drink, walk, and jump. What kind of illness would cause this?" Guyu rolled her eyes. "Do you think this is lovesickness?"
"Who's lovesick?" A voice called from behind, startling the two. Turning around, they saw Luo Ling approaching. Jingzhe and Guyu hurriedly greeted him, "This servant greets the young master."
Luo Ling waved his hand and walked towards Shen Miao in front of the stone table. When he reached Shen Miao, he saw that Shen Miao was still sitting in a daze, so he asked, "Little cousin?"
Shen Miao turned around and saw that it was Luo Ling, so she smiled and said, "Cousin Ling."
Luo Ling sat down across from Shen Miao. His right hand still hadn't healed, but Shen Qiu had found a book on left-hand swordsmanship for him, and he'd been practicing it seriously these days. His mind had broadened considerably, and his conversation had become even more refined than before, making him appear even more gentle and gracious. Occasionally, when he went out, young ladies would shyly peek at him. They'd heard Luo Tan jokingly say that several young ladies from official families in Dingjing secretly favored Luo Ling.
Luo Ling asked, "What are you thinking about so intently, little cousin?"
Shen Miao smiled slightly: “Nothing, just sitting there in a daze.”
Luo Ling thought of what Jingzhe and Guyu had just said about "lovesickness" and his heart sank. He looked at Shen Miao and asked without revealing any trace: "I thought my little cousin was old enough to get married, so she was a little lazy."
Shen Miao seemed not to understand Luo Ling's words and said calmly, "Speaking of the right age to get married, perhaps it was Cousin Tan who was anxious first."
Luo Ling smiled and said, "That's right."
Shen Miao looked at Luo Ling: "Cousin Ling, what is it that you want to talk to me about?"
Luo Ling was startled, a trace of embarrassment rising on his handsome face. He had come to see Shen Miao, and when Shen Miao asked him so seriously what was going on, he didn't know how to answer. But then an idea struck him: "Uh, the cakes my little cousin sent me a few days ago were a little too sweet, so I came to tell her something."
