Chapter 690: Doubt (5)
Shen Miao was startled, and the people around her were also startled.
Everyone knows that Xie Jingxing has been dead for two years. Has Su Mingfeng gone crazy?
Shen Miao laughed: "How can I see that the young marquis of the Xie family died young? Does Young Master Su have any prejudice against me and sincerely curse me?"
Su Mingfeng said nothing more, and this time he really took Su Minglang away.
When they were no longer visible in the crowd, Luo Tan touched his shoulder and said, "I have goose bumps all over my body. My little cousin, why would that person ask you if you've seen a dead person?"
Shen Miao said: "He's gone crazy."
"I think so too." Luo Tan agreed deeply.
Shen Qiu frowned: "In the future, have less contact with the Su family." What did Shen Miao mean by "Has she seen a dead person? Where has she seen him? Why would she see him? She had brought bad luck upon herself for no reason.
"But why is he asking you?" Luo Tan asked curiously, "Is there any relationship between my cousin and that young Marquis Xie?"
“We have absolutely no connection and we don’t interact with each other.” Shen Miao replied in eight words.
Luo Ling looked at her in surprise.
…
What Shen Miao didn’t know was that on this day, Su Mingfeng, who had seen the “tiger head ring” on her wrist, had been restless the entire day.
Even Su Yu noticed something was amiss with Su Mingfeng and asked him what was wrong. The Pingnan Marquis' Su family had been trying to keep a low profile, as everyone knew the court was turbulent and they should avoid getting involved. The Su family had grown accustomed to this carefree lifestyle, and Su Mingfeng hadn't entered the government yet, so who was he putting on a stern face for?
Su Mingfeng only mumbled a few words while eating, took a few quick bites, and returned to his room. Su Yu and Madam Su were left staring at each other. Madam Su asked, "What's wrong with him?"
Su Yu shook his head. Madam Su simply asked her youngest son, Su Minglang, "Minglang, who did you meet when you and your eldest brother went out today?"
Su Minglang said heartlessly while picking up some food: "I met Sister Shen. I asked her for some jewelry, but she refused. She said it was against the rules, so I got upset."
Madam Su and Su Yu gasped.
Su Minglang's words made no sense, but to the two elders, they heard that Su Mingfeng was close to the girl from the Shen family. The girl from the Shen family felt that it was damaging to her reputation and refused to give it to him. So Su Mingfeng was angry?
Madam Su put down her chopsticks and asked, "Let me ask you, is the Shen sister you're talking about the Fifth Miss of the Shen family?" With the second and third branches of the Shen family all executed, it naturally couldn't be Shen Yue. Shen Qing had died two years ago. Shen Dongling had married into the Wang family, and the unmarried Shen sister was Shen Miao. Forgive Madam Su for first thinking of the mighty General Shen family; after all, Dingjing was the most famous Shen family.
Su Minglang nodded vigorously.
Su Yu couldn't sit still any longer. He pointed at Su Minglang and said tremblingly, "Your elder brother asked for jewelry?"
Su Minglang nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice.
The couple looked at each other, and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes. Normally, Su Mingfeng would be 23 soon after the Chinese New Year, and ordinary families would have been married long ago, and some would have even had sons. But for some reason, this guy of his family has always refused to get married. In the early years, Xie Jingxing from the Marquis of Lin'an Mansion followed Su Mingfeng, and Su Yu was not worried at all, because he knew that Xie Jingxing was a girl who would like him, and that he would not go wrong with Xie Jingxing. Once Xie Jingxing died, well, his son could become a monk directly. He hadn't been interested in any girl in the past two years. Regardless of whether he had high standards or not, if this continued, the Su family couple would suspect that Su Mingfeng was a homosexual.
