Shen Tiantian clutched her chest and ran out quickly.
Soon, a figure silently followed them out.
Shen Tiantian ran all the way to her room before covering her mouth and crying softly.
The figure hesitated for a moment, but still followed inside.
Upon entering, seeing Shen Tiantian crying with a wronged expression, he felt extremely sorry for her and immediately stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong?"
Shen Tiantian didn't say anything, she just cried and shook her head, her face full of sadness, as if the whole world had wronged her.
The guards felt sorry for him, but they remained silent.
He stayed quietly with Shen Tiantian until she stopped crying.
"Why don't you ask me what's wrong?"
After calming down, Shen Tiantian asked the question with a sob in her voice.
The guard shook his head and said, "If you want to talk, you will even if I don't ask. If you don't want to talk, you won't talk even if I ask."
He cares about Shen Tiantian, but he also knows his limits.
Not everyone is willing to talk about their sad stories.
All he could do was stay by her side.
"If I... what I've told you, can you promise not to tell anyone else?"
Shen Tiantian's eyes darted around, and she hesitated.
The bodyguard immediately swore he wouldn't tell anyone.
Shen Tiantian then spoke, but she had a ulterior motive.
"...It's Liu Liu. She has a crush on His Highness the Crown Prince and wants to marry him. I think it's unlikely, so I said His Highness the Crown Prince would marry a noblewoman from the capital... Liu Liu is heartbroken, I..."
Shen Tiantian cleverly stopped.
The guards naturally assumed that Shen Tiantian had been scolded by Tian Guifen, which was why she ran out.
These bodyguards were responsible for protecting Shen Liuliu's safety, but they were not allowed to eavesdrop, so they were at a distance and did not know what was being said inside.
Therefore, after hearing Shen Tiantian's words, the secret guard did not know that it was fake.
He calmly replied, "The most important thing for His Highness the Crown Prince's fiancée is that the Emperor is satisfied and all the civil and military officials have no objections. Only then can the Crown Prince be satisfied."
The secret guard did not say that he had to marry a noblewoman from a prominent family in the capital.
How could someone who could please the emperor and all the officials be a country girl?
Shen Tiantian's eyes dimmed instantly, but then she asked urgently, "What if His Highness the Crown Prince really, really likes a girl from an ordinary family and is willing to marry her against all odds?"
The bodyguard instantly put himself in Shen Liuliu's shoes.
It seems that His Highness's preferential treatment of the Shen family has given both the Shen family and Shen Liuliu the wrong impression.
"Impossible. His Highness the Crown Prince has always been extremely self-disciplined and respectful of propriety since childhood, and would never overstep the rules in the slightest. The kind of thing you are talking about, His Highness the Crown Prince would never do."
Seeing the guard's resolute expression, Shen Tiantian was extremely disappointed.
but……
Mo Lan'an went through countless hardships following Long Xiaoliu through tribulations, so how could it not be to fulfill the unfulfilled love between the two in the immortal realm?
She didn't believe that Mo Lan'an would endure it forever and would marry someone else!
So as long as you wait, you will definitely get your chance! You definitely will!
"What’s wrong with you?"
"I... I'm just worried about Liu Liu. But I need to give her some advice."
Shen Tiantian regained her confidence.
The only problem now is that she is so much older than Liu Liu, it is very likely that Mo Lan'an is waiting for Liu Liu to grow up.
How can I postpone my marriage for five or six years?
She needs to think of a good solution.
"Okay, don't be sad."
The guard pulled a wooden hairpin from his pocket, his ears turning red, and handed it over: "I just bought this on a whim, it's for you."
Then they left.
Shen Tiantian looked at the wooden hairpin, a calculating glint in her eyes, and immediately put it on herself, feigning joy.
He still has a great use to him, so we have to appease him now.
The Shen family was completely unaware of all this.
Even if there are gray or black cats circling around the house, they won't hear it.
Since Shen Tiantian knew Shen Liuliu's identity, how could she not be on guard?
Long Xiaoliu, back in the Immortal Realm, I was naturally no match for you, not even a worthy opponent.
But this is the mortal realm, where anything is possible.
Even if you're not the one you truly want, why not give her to me?
——
Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Spring breezes bring warmth, summer sun blazes.
On the third day after Shen Liu's sixtieth birthday, Shen Erming finally set a date and decided to get married.
The person she married surprised many people.
Because Shen Erming's marriage partner was Zhao Di, whom he had met before.
After the marriage was arranged, Zhao Di resigned from Shen's Winery and found a job in town.
The earnings are about the same, but it's more tiring than working at the distillery.
Tian Guifen originally wanted Shen Erming to persuade Zhaodi.
“We’re all family now, why be so formal? Besides, I didn’t give her any extra money just because you two are getting married. Why do you have to go to town? It’s tiring.”
Tian Guifen genuinely felt sorry for Zhao Di.
Shen Erming refused: "Mother, Zhaodi wants to give half of the money she earns to her family. What would it look like if she continued to earn money in our family?"
“Hey, how come your thinking is even more old-fashioned than your mother’s? This money isn’t something I gave her for nothing; it’s money that Zhao Di earned through her own hard work. I really have no objection to her wanting to help her family, as long as it’s within limits and she lives a good life with you.”
Tian Guifen criticized Chen Erming.
Shen Erming said helplessly, "This isn't my idea. I don't care about that little bit of money. It's Zhao Di who insisted on it. I also think she's overthinking things."
"Smack!"
Tian Guifen slapped Shen Erming on the shoulder and scolded him angrily: "What did you say? What do you mean she thinks too much? Zhao Di is self-reliant, strong, independent, and she's great! What do you know?"
Shen Erming: ...
Everyone laughed so hard they almost doubled over.
Shen Erming was speechless and choked with emotion: "Mother, do you have to be so biased? You didn't say that just now when you thought it was my idea."
"What? I'm biased, is it any of your business?"
Tian Guifen didn't care at all.
Little brat.
Now that you have a daughter-in-law, why would I still give in to you?
Keep dreaming!
From now on, I'll just appease my daughter-in-law, and you'll come running back home.
I can't even control you anymore?
Shen Erming smiled, feigning helplessness: "Alright, alright, you're right."
“You should pay more attention to Zhao Di. Zhao Di’s thinking is right, and I appreciate it. But she is still your wife, and we are family. Don’t make her too tired.”
Tian Guifen tried to persuade her.
The people around were speechless.
If Zhao Di really stops earning money and uses Shen Erming's money to support her family, would Tian Guifen really have no objections?
Back then, when Shen Erming's wife, Tian Yexiang, was sending money and things back to her parents' home, wasn't she severely punished by Tian Guifen?
But as long as Mom is happy, that's all that matters.
