Just as Meng Liu was about to push open Meng Ying's door, Meng Ying opened it a step faster.
The maids guarding the area breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Meng Ying.
Thankfully... at least the young lady is back.
Meng Ying looked radiant, a slight smile playing on her lips, and reached out to pull Meng Liushi inside.
"Why are you up so early today, Mother? I heard your voice as soon as I got up."
"This is something important concerning you! Did Madam Shen say anything about the tonics I asked you to send yesterday?"
Meng Ying smiled faintly, "I told you, the old lady likes it very much and is very satisfied. All of this is thanks to Mother!"
"That's good. I've had some books brought over. Take some time to study them. After all, you need to hurry up with this marriage!" Meng Liushi added.
"Okay, daughter understands."
Looking at Meng Ying, Meng Liushi still felt somewhat uneasy.
"General Shen's personality is hard to fathom. To be honest, even I'm not entirely sure about this marriage... Ying'er, why don't you look at other men? It would be better to have a few more to consider."
If the Shen family doesn't have this idea, then the ones your mother introduced to you before are also good.
"Don't worry, with our family's status in the court, they wouldn't dare do anything to you. Don't be too picky, just be content with what you have. We women are all in the inner quarters; being knowledgeable, courteous, and good wives and mothers is enough," Meng Liu Shi earnestly advised.
Upon hearing this, Meng Ying's smile froze slightly.
Although she appears glamorous on the outside, in reality... she utterly despises it all.
The reason her mother was in such a hurry to marry her off was simply for the sake of her two younger brothers.
As the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife, if she did not get married, then her two younger brothers could not get married first.
As far as the Meng family is concerned, she would be a burden to her two younger brothers. If her two younger brothers were to get married first, and she remained in the Meng family without being married, it would bring bad luck to the entire family!
That's bad luck.
Meng Liu was a proper married woman, so she hoped that Meng Ying could get married as soon as possible.
Some time ago, Meng Erlang fell in love with a girl.
If she doesn't get married, then Meng Sanlang's matter will have to wait...
Worried that Meng Ying might overthink things, Madam Meng Liu held her hand and said, "Ying'er, as the older sister, you know how to behave and are very sensible. Your mother hopes you will think more about your two younger brothers. After all, we are all family, and who doesn't want harmony and peace?"
“I understand. The Shen family is quite good, and most importantly, my daughter truly loves General Shen.”
Although Meng Ying was smiling, her tone was very calm.
She didn't want any other men because none of the others Meng Liushi introduced were quite suitable for her.
She wants to marry someone who doesn't like her, preferably someone who can completely ignore her and treat her like she's invisible.
And silence was her target.
She disliked silence and other men.
After giving her a few words of advice, Meng Liushi left.
Meng Ying glanced at the books that Meng Liu had brought, her gaze falling on the book at the very bottom.
She reached out and pulled it out, then turned two pages, her eyes growing even darker.
"Move these books to my private residence. Also, my mother hopes that I will become more worldly-wise, so please have Fangning find some more so that I can study properly."
How could she let such an opportunity slip by?
Meng Ying's eyes were full of amusement.
“Okay!” the maidservant quickly agreed.
...
When Su Miao woke up, Shen Changji had already arranged for a doctor to treat her.
If she wasn't mistaken, that person should be Shen Changji's confidant.
Fang Xing welcomed the person in.
Su Miao smiled gently, "Attendant Fang has worked hard. Tao'er, please take him downstairs for a cup of tea."
Upon hearing this, Fang Xing quickly refused, "My master instructed me to... stay with County Princess Su."
Su Miao found it somewhat amusing.
“I’m right here. Besides, this old gentleman is one of his men. What could I possibly worry about? If anything happens, the old gentleman will report it to him without me having to say anything.”
Fang Xing hesitated.
“Go ahead, I don’t like being disturbed,” Su Miao said bluntly.
Seeing that Su Miao had gone this far, Tao'er gestured to Fang Xing.
After all, this is Su Miao's room, and it is indeed somewhat inappropriate for a man to stand here alone.
Fang Xing thought about Su Miao's words and realized there was no problem, so he had no choice but to go out.
Tao'er closed the door, and the old doctor walked in front of Su Miao with his medicine box.
Su Miao sat on the couch, looking at the old doctor with a smile on her lips, "Thank you so much for your trouble."
"No need for that, Princess Su is not seeing me for the first time."
The last time Shen Changji was injured, the two of them met.
Seeing that his master cared so much about a woman, he took the opportunity to call Su Miao down to assist him.
Su Miao's smile remained unchanged as she openly extended her hand.
The old doctor didn't notice much, and he didn't even realize that Su Miao had hidden a silver needle in her other hand.
He had barely sat down when he fainted before he could even feel Su Miao's pulse.
Su Miao calmly withdrew her wrist, a hint of coldness in her eyes, and a faint smile on her lips.
