Chapter 687 Suspicion (2)
Shen Dongling smiled faintly: "She's just the young lady of the Wang family. In her eyes, she's not worth mentioning. Why bother trying to curry favor with her?"
Xinghua said angrily, "You're the wife of an official. Who will the Fifth Miss marry in the future? Are you planning to marry a prince? Her reputation was ruined years ago. Who from a good family would dare to marry her?"
"Xinghua." Shen Dongling frowned, as if she felt that the maid had gone a little too far. Xinghua quickly fell silent and dared not say any more, her face still showing aggrieved expression.
"Reputation is nothing," Shen Dongling said softly. "With the support of the Shen family army and the Luo family army, no one can stop her even if she marries the emperor. It's just that..." Shen Dongling smiled meaningfully. "It's not that marrying high doesn't guarantee good fortune."
On the other side, Luo Tan was pestering Shen Miao and asking, "Little cousin, is that your half-sister? She doesn't look as cowardly and invisible as people say."
Before arriving in Dingjing, Luo Tan feared he wouldn't recognize anyone in the Shen residence, so he specifically asked the servants about the personalities of the various household heads. The least he knew about Shen Dongling, the Third Young Lady, because she was such a transparent person, never leaving the courtyard and acting so servilely. Luo Tan felt deeply saddened. The younger Luo family members were all mischievous, especially the siblings Luo Tan and Luo Qian. He couldn't imagine Shen Dongling leading a life like this.
Who knew that today, it wasn't what the servants had said at all. Shen Dongling was completely different from what she had imagined.
Shen Miao smiled: “People always change.”
Luo Tan thought about it and agreed deeply. He said, "That's right. I think she has changed her personality now that she is married and is quite liked by her in-laws." Then he sighed, "It's really hard to stay the same as before."
Shen Miao felt like laughing at her behavior. Shen Qiu asked, "Sister, now that we've watched the execution, can we go home?" After all, he was still frightened by the inexplicable kidnapping of Shen Miao.
Shen Miao was about to answer when she suddenly heard a clear voice saying, "Sister Shen!"
Shen Miao looked back.
The visitor was a delicate young man, dressed in a pine-green satin gown, the edges of which were embroidered with pine leaves, a truly unique sight. He was about eleven or twelve, already a young man, with handsome features, yet somehow still held a touch of childishness. Although he was supposed to be twenty years old before coming of age, he wore a small jade crown, two ribbons dangling from his ears. At his waist was a jade gourd. Fair and tender, he looked adorable, like a figure from a painting.
Luo Tan's eyes widened. The children in Xiaochun City were all naughty little monkeys. How could anyone be so cute and pretty? And his movements were so realistic that they melted people's hearts. Even someone like Luo Tan, who had little patience for children, was attracted to this little boy, let alone others.
Luo Ling and Shen Qiu were somewhat surprised, seeing that the young man seemed quite familiar with Shen Miao. Shen Miao frowned, feeling that there was something vaguely familiar between the young man's eyebrows and eyes, but she couldn't figure out who it was.
The young boy originally thought that Shen Miao would call out his name quickly, but unexpectedly Shen Miao just stared at him in a daze, so he walked to Shen Miao's side. He was not as tall as Shen Miao, so he had to slightly tilt his head upwards, and just stared at Shen Miao.
Just when Shen Miao wanted to say something to interrupt the silence, she heard a chuckle from the side, saying: "Miss Shen Wu, Young Master Shen."
The man who came was wearing a lake blue robe, the style of which was exactly the same as the young boy before them, but this man was much older than the young boy, with the appearance of a young man, and his eyebrows and eyes were vaguely similar to the young master. His eyebrows and eyes were handsome, and his smile was elegant. Shen Miao and Shen Qiu knew this man. It was Su Mingfeng from the Pingnan Marquis's residence.
