Chapter 721 Peach Blossom (6)
As Luo Xueyan listened, she gradually felt a sense of sympathy. As they were all mothers, it was natural for them to understand each other.
Mrs. Su then continued, "But don't worry, Madam. Although our Su family is no longer an official family, we have enough money and many shops, so we won't have to worry about food and drink. After Miss Chen marries, the master and I will treat her as our own daughter. Mingfeng is old-fashioned and kind, and there will be no other women in the backyard. The family is simple, and although Miss Chen can't live as luxuriously as she did in the Prince's Mansion, she can still live a satisfying and free life."
Luo Xueyan's heart moved. Madam Su's words really hit the nail on the head. She didn't ask Shen Miao to marry someone who was extremely wealthy and powerful. As long as the man was honest, had good character, treated Shen Miao well, and was simple in his speech, that would be even better. Su Mingfeng was truly a good choice.
Thinking of Luo Ling just now, Madam Su began to hesitate. Luo Ling was certainly not bad, but Shen Miao wanted to return to Xiaochun City. If Su Mingfeng said so, Shen Miao could stay in Dingjing.
This time, due to various considerations in her mind, Luo Xueyan did not reject Madam Su outright, but only said that she would think about it again. After Madam Su left, Luo Xueyan went to discuss the matter with Shen Xin. Of course, the most important thing was to see Shen Miao's opinion. Both of them were young talents. As long as they found out that Su Mingfeng was indeed fine, they could let Shen Miao choose her future husband on her own.
Somehow, this matter reached Shen Miao's ears. When Luo Tan came to see Shen Miao, he was laughing so hard that he couldn't help but say, "My little cousin usually seems to stay at home, but I didn't expect that good wine needs no bush. Look, Brother Ling and the young master of the Su family are here right now, and there's also the prince. That's three peach blossoms. If others saw this, they would probably be envious to death."
Shen Miao was helpless. Luo Ling would actually propose to marry her at this time. Of course, what Shen Miao did not expect was that Madam Su would actually come and arrange this marriage for Su Mingfeng.
Shen Miao was already suspicious enough about Madam Su's previous plans to marry into the Shen family. She feared Su Mingfeng was trying to uncover Xie Jingxing's true identity. Now that things had come to this, with the Su family even willing to go against the imperial family to marry her, Shen Miao felt that Su Mingfeng was becoming even more dangerous. She thought it would be best to let Xie Jingxing handle Su Mingfeng's affairs, but... Shen Miao glanced out the window. It was unknown when this man would return, and it was such a turbulent time, and yet he chose this moment to disappear. For no apparent reason, Shen Miao felt a surge of dissatisfaction.
Luo Tan continued, "When we were hanging the red string on the marriage tree in Putuo Temple, the one you threw was in a great spot. I looked over and saw many branches branching out towards the red string. I'm afraid they must be the peach blossoms of today. I think these three blossoms aren't enough; there might be six, seven, or even eight more."
Shen Miao picked up the teacup and said, "You think you're cutting window paper-cuts? You can have as many flowers as you want." Luo Ling was kindhearted, and the Su family was a unique family. Finding two people who weren't afraid of becoming enemies of the royal family was already rare, so how could there be anyone else? However, she thought of what the crazy Taoist priest had said before: "I'm afraid there will be trouble with peach blossoms." Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Taoist priest was right?
Luo Tan continued to mutter to himself, "But the red string you hung on me, my little cousin, finally landed on a tall branch. That branch must be your final resting place. I wonder who my brother-in-law is?"
Shen Miao took a sip of tea and absentmindedly listened to Luo Tan's serious nonsense.
"It would be great if it was Prince Rui!" Luo Tan clapped his hands, "Then I'd rise to prominence and become Prince Rui's sister-in-law!"
Shen Miao was drinking tea when she spat out a mouthful of tea, nearly choking herself.
Unexpectedly, Luo Tan's words came true. Chen Miao's peach blossoms would have been amazing if they hadn't come, but when they did, they were a surprise. Only three of them were indeed underestimated.
