Because of Shen Changji's words, Old Lady Shen's hand paused slightly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao's face lit up with joy.
"Congratulations, Sister Liu!"
Su Miao slightly tightened her grip on the cup in her hand, a smile playing on her lips.
Shen Changji was slightly surprised to hear this congratulatory message.
He couldn't help but glance at Su Miao.
Su Miao's smile remained unchanged, revealing no clue whatsoever; one could only sense that she was happy for Liu Jiaojiao.
In fact... she had been secretly practicing this smile for many years.
This was so that no one would easily notice her changing emotions.
Shen Changji had always been indifferent to this marriage, so why did he suddenly bring up wanting to marry Liu Jiaojiao as soon as possible?
Did he discover something and want to use it to test her?
Su Miao thought about the psychological warfare that Shen Changji had played on her yesterday, and then looked at the current situation.
Her guess isn't entirely impossible!
This man clearly knows she doesn't want him to marry Liu Jiaojiao, yet he insists on doing the opposite. He's such a scoundrel...
Shen Changji just wanted to see her reaction, didn't he? Su Miao sneered inwardly, then stood up.
“Since Grandmother wants to talk to Brother about important matters, Miao’er, go back to the courtyard.”
"Go."
Grandma Shen didn't keep Su Miao either.
She glanced at Liu Jiaojiao, then at Su Miao's retreating figure, somewhat unable to fathom what her grandson was thinking.
Liu Jiaojiao was initially delighted, but after the initial joy subsided, she thought about it more carefully and suddenly felt that something was amiss…
After all, just two days ago, Shen Changji had told her that if she was not satisfied with the engagement, she could go to the palace together to cancel it.
Why are you suddenly bringing up the matter of getting this marriage done again today?
At the time, she was still a little unsure of herself and was planning how to make Shen Changji see her good qualities. Who would have thought that Shen Changji's sudden move would catch her off guard?
What did he discover?
No... absolutely impossible!
Liu Jiaojiao softened her expression and put on a dignified and considerate demeanor, saying, "Chen Lang, actually I'm not in a hurry. You finally managed to get rid of the epidemic, and these past two days you've been with me because of my mother's situation. I'm already very touched. Right now, I just hope you can rest a bit."
Don't worry, I will be yours...no one can take me away!
After saying this, Liu Jiaojiao looked shy.
“Jiaojiao is right. You’ve been busy with official business lately, and you finally accepted Dalang’s title. There’s no need to rush the marriage.”
Grandma Shen continued, following Liu Jiaojiao's lead.
Liu Jiaojiao thought that Old Madam Shen would scold her, but she didn't expect... that she would agree with her.
Regardless of the circumstances, since Shen Changji has this idea, she is destined to marry into the Duke's mansion.
Even though she hasn't married into the family yet... she still wants Shen Changji to touch her first.
That's a done deal!
“Alright, then we’ll do as Grandmother wishes.” Shen Changji didn’t refuse.
"Jiaojiao is such a kind and understanding girl!" the second wife couldn't help but praise.
If her eldest son can marry such a virtuous and kind wife in the future, it will be a blessing.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao said shyly, "I have long regarded Shen Lang as my husband, so it is only right that I feel sorry for him."
Thinking it over, Liu Jiaojiao took the opportunity to say, "If after marriage, Shen Lang has a woman he likes outside and takes her into the mansion as a concubine, I will have no objection. I only hope that Shen Lang can be happy."
Upon hearing this, the second wife couldn't help but praise Liu Jiaojiao's magnanimity.
After all, how many wives outside can act like Liu Jiaojiao?
Although it is common for men to have multiple wives and concubines, those as considerate as Liu Jiaojiao are extremely rare.
Grandma Shen, on the other hand, ate the pastries Su Miao brought without saying anything.
Because of what Liu Jiaojiao said next, she knew that this young woman was not as innocent as she had imagined, but rather somewhat hypocritical.
If she truly didn't mind, Liu Jiaojiao wouldn't have used the pretext of visiting her in Zhangshui City to try and find out about Su Miao's itinerary.
If Zi Ji really likes Liu Jiaojiao, then she has no choice but to accept it.
"Let's call it a day then, I'm tired too," said Old Mrs. Shen lazily.
She could only manage half an hour a day; she was getting old and really didn't want to hear too many empty compliments.
As soon as they stepped outside, the second wife couldn't help but look at Liu Jiaojiao and say, "Jiaojiao, I heard you're good at embroidery. Would you like to come and teach me?"
"Of course it would be good, as long as your mother doesn't mind."
"Of course I don't mind! In that case, Ziji, I'll borrow Jiaojiao for a bit."
"Go ahead, I happen to have something to do too."
After thanking them, the second wife left with Liu Jiaojiao.
He turned and walked back to his own courtyard in silence.
Su Miao happened to be standing in her own courtyard, and Shen Changji saw her as soon as he looked up.
Shen Changji understood that this woman was waiting for him.
"come over."
He looked at Su Miao next door and spoke in a deep voice.
Seeing this, Lone Eagle quickly stepped forward and opened a secret passage for Su Miao.
Before long, Su Miao appeared in front of him.
Completely disregarding whether there were any servants passing by, she went straight up and embraced Shen Changji.
Shen Changji did not refuse. He raised his hand and carried her directly into the house.
Once inside, Su Miao became even more unrestrained in clinging to him.
In the dimly lit room, Su Miao raised her head and it met Chen Changji's nose.
Their breaths mingled; they were very close.
"Brother, are you really going to marry Sister Liu?"
Her eyes were red and her voice was soft.
Shen Changji admitted that Su Miao was very good at using her appearance to make people feel sorry for her.
"Don't you just like excitement?"
Knowing I was engaged, she still seduced me.
A deep, quiet voice reached her ears, and a large hand gripped her waist.
"Ah...brother..."
Su Miao looked at the thin lips so close to hers and was about to kiss them when Shen Changji beat her to it.
She was pinned behind the door, and the man kissed her fiercely.
"Wouldn't it be more exciting if I married her?"
