Seeing that Shen Changji had been gone for some time, Old Madam Shen couldn't help but look at Su Miao and ask, "Miao girl, do you have a man you like?"
"I saw that Sister Su and Young Master Xie were getting quite close recently. Is their wedding just around the corner?" Liu Jiaojiao said slowly from the side.
She had been trying to find a topic to ease her awkwardness, but Grandma Shen and Su Miao got along so well that she couldn't join in. Now, she finally had a chance.
"Jiaojiao seems quite concerned about Miaoya's marriage," Old Madam Shen said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Su Miao couldn't help but look at Liu Jiaojiao.
Liu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "I have long regarded Sister Su as family. Since she is my sister and we are both young ladies, I can't help but be a little suspicious. I hope Grandmother will not laugh at Jiaojiao."
Hearing this, Liu Muxuan, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but glance at Su Miao.
She still looked as delicate and timid as ever.
Even when the elders spoke, she still dared not refute them or express her own wishes.
He couldn't help but feel sorry for Su Miao.
He wanted to help her, but he didn't know how to use his position to do so...
Before deciding to marry Shen Yueyin, he had already figured out his feelings for Su Miao.
It was indeed as she said... He didn't like her, he just had feelings for her.
Perhaps it doesn't even qualify as a feeling.
Su Miao is a good person, but he is not the man who can stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
Liu Jiaojiao noticed the emotions in Liu Muxuan's eyes towards Su Miao, and she couldn't help but curl her lips into a sarcastic smile.
Her younger brother, I think his heart is still with Su Miao, right?
Her good brother must be heartbroken, since he already has a wife and can no longer marry Su Miao.
She thought Shen Yueyin and Liu Muxuan had a good relationship, but now it seems that's all there is to it!
She wanted to see how long that Shen Yueyin could continue to act arrogantly in the Liu family!
In that case, the biggest joke will be about this little bitch!
When Grandma Shen heard Liu Jiaojiao's words, she nodded and then looked at Su Miao.
"That's easy for you to say, but I think you're just hoping Miao'er gets married off as soon as possible!"
Shen Yueyin's dissatisfied voice came from outside.
She walked in first, followed by Shen Changji.
He remained silent, his expression cold and expressionless.
Liu Jiaojiao looked up and her eyes met Shen Changji's.
The moment their eyes met, Liu Jiaojiao felt a pang of guilt, afraid that he would see through her.
"Yueyin, you're back?"
Shen Yueyin: "I'm back. My elder brother taught me a lot, but I didn't expect to hear you discussing Su's marriage as soon as I got back."
Grandma Shen smiled kindly and took Shen Yueyin's hand.
"So what do you think of Prince Xie?"
Shen Yueyin: "To be honest, my granddaughter thinks Sister Su is very good, and she is quite reluctant to part with her."
However, Xie Shizi seems to be about the same age as his elder brother? If Sister Su can keep her good fortune within herself, marrying her brother would be a good idea.
Upon hearing Shen Yueyin's words, Liu Jiaojiao became restless, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
Seeing Liu Jiaojiao's sullen expression, Shen Yueyin felt even happier.
"It wouldn't be impossible for Miao'er to become Ziji's concubine."
Upon hearing this, the third wife smiled faintly, gently waving her fan and echoing her daughter's words.
"Don't joke around. It's obvious that Ziji doesn't like Miao'er, and Miao'er doesn't like Ziji either. If that's the case, wouldn't it be like matchmaking indiscriminately?"
The second wife couldn't help but chuckle softly, covering her face with her handkerchief, as if she had heard a joke.
After all, the two of them seem to have absolutely no connection!
The more she said this, the more uneasy Liu Jiaojiao became.
Because she doesn't yet know if Su Miao is the young lady who has a good relationship with Pei Yu.
If that person really is Su Miao, and she is not completely dead, then I have brought back a lot of trouble.
But on the surface, she still had to pretend to be magnanimous and considerate, saying, "It all depends on what Shen Lang likes. As long as Shen Lang is willing, then I will have no objection."
"So generous? Why not let Miao'er be a concubine?"
Undeterred by death, Shen Yueyin threw out another line.
As soon as he said that, Liu Muxuan immediately grasped her hand and gestured to her with a deep silence.
When Shen Yueyin met Shen Changji's gaze, she immediately withdrew her sharp tongue.
"That's enough. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
Shen Changji looked at Old Madam Shen in the main seat with a calm expression.
"Go."
"I'll go see Shen Lang off," Liu Jiaojiao said.
Grandma Shen did not stop Liu Jiaojiao.
As soon as they left the Duke's mansion, Liu Jiaojiao couldn't help but take Chen Changji's arm.
"Shen Lang...is what you said today true?"
She still couldn't quite believe it.
"Of course it's true, I always intended to marry you."
As he spoke, Shen Changji raised his hand and adjusted the hairpin in Liu Jiaojiao's hair.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao's ears turned slightly red, and she lowered her eyes, looking shy.
"Okay...then I'll wait for Shen Lang to marry me."
"Um."
When Shen Changji lowered his hand, he glanced at Liu Jiaojiao.
Liu Jiaojiao had always known that Shen Changji was good-looking, and now that his cold eyes had gained a touch of tenderness, she was even more captivated.
"I'll go now."
"good."
Liu Jiaojiao raised her hand to straighten Shen Changji's clothes, then watched his carriage leave.
From an outsider's perspective, the two have a very good relationship.
But only they know whether they are feeling hot or cold.
As soon as Shen Changji boarded the carriage, the tenderness in his dark eyes vanished instantly.
...
When Liu Jiaojiao returned to Old Madam Shen's courtyard, Su Miao had already left, leaving only Shen Yueyin and Liu Muxuan.
