Chapter 717 Peach Blossom (2)
Gu Yu's throat felt a little sore, and he said, "Miss, are you really going to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
As personal maids, Jingzhe and Guyu sometimes couldn't understand Shen Miao's true thoughts, but they could more or less sense some of her emotions. For example, Shen Miao didn't like the palace at all, nor did she like the people in it. If Shen Miao were to marry into the Eastern Palace now, she would definitely be uncomfortable.
Shen Miao said, "Let's go and see." But in her heart, she was thinking, she would never want to marry again in the royal family of Mingqi. However, an imperial edict could control him and the land, but if that didn't work, she would ruin her own reputation. The Fu family wanted the military power of the Shen family, but they didn't dare to show their true colors to the outside world. After Shen Miao's reputation was ruined, if the prince still insisted on marrying her, it would be too shameful. Which is more important, a green hat or military power? Based on Shen Miao's understanding of the Fu family, military power is definitely more important. But if they really wanted to marry her even if it meant being cuckolded, the people would not think that the Fu family was deeply affectionate, but instead that the royal harem was in chaos.
Even if the Fu family is unpopular, they dare not let rumors spread.
But… Shen Miao stared at the tea leaves floating in the teacup. Her reputation was also ruined.
Fortunately, she has no sisters, so she won't let them be ridiculed like her. Unfortunately, Shen Xin and the others will definitely be criticized by others.
But this is the worst option, and also the only solution.
Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were unaware that Shen Miao had already made her own plans and were still obsessed with finding a good husband for her. However, the royal family's message had already spread, and even Bingren was afraid to take on the Shen family's business. The Shen family had recently been deserted.
Shen Qiu almost kidnapped a good friend to marry Shen Miao. After being stopped by Luo Xueyan, Shen Qiu, Luo Xueyan, and Shen Xin sat in the room, talking about Shen Miao's marriage, their faces filled with sorrow.
Luo Xueyan said, "This move by the royal family is really too despicable. So many people wanted to come to us to seek marriage, but now, they all take a detour. What kind of thing is this!"
"It's all my fault." Chen Xinxin said, "I should have arranged a marriage for Jiaojiao back then. I thought she was young and could wait a few more years without any problems. I didn't expect she would get into trouble."
Chen Qiu scratched his head: "No matter what, my sister cannot marry into the Prince's Mansion. Why should a girl raised in our general's mansion be someone's concubine? Even the wife has to be picked and chosen, how can she be someone's concubine?"
"No one dares to marry into our family now. What should we do?" Luo Xueyan looked a little anxious and asked tentatively, "How about we go outside Dingjing and look for a suitable family?"
Chen Qiu was surprised: "Mom, you want to marry my sister far away?"
Luo Xueyan said angrily, "I don't have any other options. I'm afraid the officials in Dingjing have all heard about this. Who knows, it might have spread outside Dingjing as well. I have to find some more remote places where they don't know about this."
"No." Chen Xin flatly refused: "Marrying far away will only make Jiaojiao feel wronged. Besides, the mountains are high and the roads are long. If her in-laws bully her, what will we do if we are far away in Dingjing and can't help?"
Luo Xueyan was annoyed: "This won't work, and that won't work either. What do you think we should do?"
Chen Qiu sighed, "After all, these people in Dingjing are afraid of getting into trouble. Is there no man who favors his sister more than his own life?" Seeing Luo Xueyan staring at him, Chen Qiu quickly added, "Except for me and Dad."
As they were talking, Luo Ling walked in. Luo Xueyan asked him to sit down and asked anxiously, "Brother Ling, have you found a suitable family today?"
