Chapter 373 If things don't go well, leave.
After learning that Shen Qingyue would be returning that night, Shangguan Jin secretly came to Shen Qingyue's courtyard once again.
Shen Qingyue had just changed into casual clothes and was preparing to read a book at her desk for a while longer.
Upon seeing Shangguan Jin enter, he immediately went to greet her.
"Mother, why have you come at this time?" Shen Qingyue asked with a smile.
As Shangguan Jin looked at Shen Qingyue, whose black hair had been let down and who was only wearing an undergarment, a word suddenly flashed through her mind.
A lotus emerges from clear water...
Shen Qingyue is actually very beautiful. Now that she has grown up, she is even more beautiful than when Shangguan Jin first came.
"After leaving your grandmother's, I stopped by to see you."
"What? Getting ready to rest?" Shangguan Jin asked with a smile.
Shen Qingyue quickly shook her head. After Ran Fu helped Shangguan Jin sit down, she instructed the maid to pour tea.
After sending the maid away, she sat down next to Shangguan Jin.
"I'm going to read for a while before resting," Shen Qingyue said softly.
Shangguan Jin took a sip of tea, then put it down and looked towards the desk.
"I came to your courtyard the other day to take a book. Did your maid tell you?"
“I told you! From now on, if Mother wants to read any books, just tell me, and I will personally deliver them to her,” Shen Qingyue said with a smile.
Shangguan Jin waved her hand.
She doesn't like reading; wouldn't it be better to spend that time listening to music or storytelling...?
"I came here because I was bored that day and wanted to read some travelogues or something."
Those are not available at Shujun, Ming, or Rui's places, only at your place.
However, that travelogue was indeed interesting.
It's well-written and the annotations are excellent; after reading it, it feels like I've been there myself.
By the way, I saw annotations in two different handwriting styles in that book; you borrowed it too, didn't you?
"Don't worry, I'll bring it to you after I finish reading it in the next couple of days." Shangguan Jin said softly, observing Shen Qingyue's expression.
To everyone's surprise, Shen Qingyue's expression remained unchanged.
"It's alright, Mother. Those are Young Master Lian's books. He knows I love reading travelogues, so he gave me some of his collection."
He said he had already read them all, and it would be a waste to keep them in the study.
"It's a blessing for the book if more people see it," Shen Qingyue said with a smile.
Shangguan Jin looked at Shen Qingyue, whose expression remained unchanged, and was not worried at all.
Take your time, no rush...
"Young Master Lian is a good person, with a good heart and good character."
If someone else has a good book, they won't even lend it, let alone give it away.
"I wish I could hide the book in my study forever, so that only I could see it." Shangguan Jin continued, following Shen Qingyue's words.
Shen Qingyue's smile widened.
Indeed, Young Master Lian is a very good person...
Shangguan Jin didn't say much, and after saying those few words, she suddenly changed her tone.
"When I visited your house last time, I saw some interesting little trinkets inside."
Where did you buy it? My mother also asked Dongmai to buy some.
"When Jun's child is born, we'll put it in the house; it'll be interesting."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyue immediately said, "Oh, those were also gifts from Young Master Lian..."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Shen Qingyue realized something was wrong.
Her unmarried daughter, Lian Qianli, was an unmarried man...
Does accepting gifts from Young Master Lian count as a private transaction...?
"Mother, these are just little trinkets. I only accepted them because I thought they were fun and interesting. If they're not good, I'll return them tomorrow," Shen Qingyue said hurriedly.
Shangguan Jin quickly waved her hand.
Why send it back? You can keep it if you like.
At worst, you can send some silver to Young Master Lian, but he probably won't accept it.
Sister Yao, don't overthink it.
Not everyone gives you gifts, and you've only accepted gifts from Young Master Lian so far.
"It's nothing..." Shangguan Jin said casually.
Shen Qingyue...
Indeed, many people would try to find ways to send her gifts.
But it seems that everything she received was a gift from Young Master Lian...
“Mother…” Shen Qingyue was a little uneasy.
"You think Young Master Lian is a very good person?" Shangguan Jin stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point.
Shen Qingyue blushed slightly, but still nodded gently.
"It's very easy and comfortable talking to...Young Master Lian!"
Shangguan Jin understood.
This is the highest level of romantic love between a man and a woman...
If you find yourself feeling comfortable when interacting with someone of the opposite sex, it means there's more to it than meets the eye.
Shangguan Jin once heard from an older colleague that she felt very comfortable when she was with her lover.
The two can remain silent, but when they look up and see each other, they will smile at each other.
If they stay in this state, the two of them can spend the whole day in peace.
Let's walk together at our own pace, without rushing...
Until we both grow old together, you lose a tooth, I stoop, you call me old man, and I call you my spouse...
“Mother, we were just… talking together. He was helping me look at some news. We… didn’t overstep any boundaries,” Shen Qingyue said hurriedly.
Shangguan Jin, of course, believed Shen Qingyue.
The two of them are probably still just a thin veil separating them!
"You... you're just going to leave it like this? You're not planning to take Young Master Lian in as a concubine?" Shangguan Jin teased.
Shen Qingyue.......
“Mother! I…” Shen Qingyue’s face turned even redder.
"It's alright, Mother is telling the truth. I've told you before, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters."
Young Master Lian... indeed meets your requirements. He has no concubines, has a good personality, is broad-minded, and has a strong sense of justice. He is a good person.
"But your mother has always been curious, why don't you tell her?" Shangguan Jin asked.
Shen Qingyue pursed her lips, her fingers gripping the hem of her dress on her knees.
"I'm a little worried!" Shen Qingyue said softly.
"Worried? Worried about what?" Shangguan Jin was even more curious.
"Many people say that men change after they get married, and they become different from before."
"I didn't believe it before, but after seeing my uncle's eldest cousin... I believed it." Shen Qingyue muttered to herself.
Shangguan Jin understood immediately.
My nephew had no concubines or maids before his marriage, but less than two years after getting married, he took two concubines...
But there are some reasons for this...
However, Shangguan Jin did not intend to tell Shen Qingyue the reasons behind it.
"Oh, are you worried that even the young master will end up like your cousin?"
Don't worry! It won't happen!
My mother's meaning was, "If you can make it work, stay; if not, get a divorce!"
"If you can't live together, then get a divorce?" Shen Qingyue's eyes widened.
"Um... it means divorce."
"But since you have the title of princess, you don't need to get a divorce. You can just divorce your husband directly," Shangguan Jin said directly.
"Divorce?" Shen Qingyue's eyes widened even more.
"If you can't make it work, why not quit? Quit and find someone better and more obedient."
Anyway, you're a princess, so none of this matters.
"If even the young master really changes, Mother will support you in divorcing him!" Shangguan Jin said.
Shen Qingyue...
