Chapter 26 Lu Qiaoxiao, no chance to regret
"You know that the engagement between me and Mr. Pei has been cancelled..." She hesitated.
Shen Yuheng nodded, his eyes cold and clear: "I know."
"Then you still..." Lu Qiaoxiao's eyelids were trembling.
"The family's marriage is urgent, and the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion also needs to give a reasonable explanation to the outside world." Shen Yuheng looked at her calmly, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
When she came in front of him, she was like a frightened rabbit.
Is he that scary?
When Lu Qiaoxiao heard Shen Yuheng say that it was because her family was urging her to get married, she felt that what was happening was reasonable.
It can't be that he wants to marry her because he has feelings for her, the laughing stock of the city who has been pursuing Mr. Pei for many years without success?
Shen Yuheng saw her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking.
He suddenly asked, "Miss Lu, do you think I'm not a good person?"
Lu Qiaoxiao immediately shook his head: "No, the adults are very good."
He pursed his lips again, frowned, and asked, "Does that mean Miss Lu already has someone else she loves?"
Lu Qiaoxiao shook her head even more vigorously. She had many enemies, but she really didn't have a lover.
"Miss Lu is dignified and steady, and is suitable to be the mistress of the family." Shen Yuheng's eyes gently swept across her face, and his hands hanging at his side curled up.
The soft golden light gently fell on her fair and smooth face, casting shadows on her raven eyelashes.
Lu Qiaoxiao raised his eyes in disbelief.
Dignified and dignified, are you talking about her?
Lu Qiaoxiao blushed and stammered, "I'm afraid I'm not quite what you think I am."
"That's fine." Shen Yuheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her intently: "You just need to say yes or no."
"I'll take care of the rest."
Lu Qiaoxiao met his eyes and felt that what he said was so convincing.
Persuasive, calm, and deep eyes.
Lu Qiaoxiao thought carefully in his mind.
To be honest, this is indeed a good solution.
If you insist on saying there is something wrong with it, I'm afraid Shen Yuheng will be laughed at behind his back in the future.
After all, with his status, he can get any woman he wants.
What's more, she is the daughter of a declining marquis' family.
Moreover, she had just broken off her engagement with Pei Jinxuan, and her reputation was already notorious.
Being able to marry Shen Yuheng not only saved her some face, but also allowed her Lu siblings to have a real support in the court.
Of course, in the end you still have to rely on yourself.
Love is fragile, but with the little bit of sympathy and compassion in your heart, do you know that it will not disappear in the future?
But—she really couldn't think of it.
What benefits will this marriage bring to Shen Yuheng?
Is it really just because your family is urging you to get married?
Shen Yuheng saw the change in her expression and his eyes moved slightly.
"Are you afraid of me?" The man's voice was calm.
Glancing at the chilling coldness in Shen Yuheng's eyes, Lu Qiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat. That chilling coldness seemed to want to eat her alive.
"No, I didn't—" Lu Qiaoxiao shook his head and avoided his gaze uncomfortably.
"Lu Qiaoxiao, there's no chance to regret it."
Shen Yuheng's voice was faint, and the look he gave her was so calm that it was unsettling.
Lu Qiaoxiao was met with an extremely aggressive gaze, and she began to understand a little.
Shen Yuheng just wanted to avoid trouble, rather than being arranged by his family to marry a woman from a wealthy family, who would have many restrictions and constraints.
It would be better to take the initiative to find a daughter of an unfavored marquis, who would have a good family background and would not be too troublesome.
You can keep her at home to protect the house.
Shen Yuheng turned his head to the other side and wanted to raise his hand to lift a corner of the car curtain.
It took several pinches with his fingertips before he finally pinched the curtain.
He was annoyed. It was just a carriage, why did it have to be made of such slippery brocade?
The atmosphere in the mansion is extravagant and luxurious.
It's time for a mistress to take charge.
Just now he saw the man lower his chin very slightly, and he immediately turned his head.
Faced with attacks from colleagues and pressure from the emperor, he remained calm and responded calmly.
But the moment she nodded, his back was wet, mixed with the summer rain that soaked the apricot blossoms and the sweat that overflowed from the heat in his skin.
Lu Qiaoxiao looked at the broad back of the person next to him, a little dazed.
Now that his goal has been achieved, is he unwilling to even look at me?
It was indeed a marriage without love.
It seems that Shen Yuheng is not in a good mood at this moment.
The important matter of my marriage is now left to myself.
She is a woman with a not-so-good family background, an average reputation, and a lot of tricks in her life.
Besides, getting married is like putting a lock on yourself.
Even though Shen Yuheng was a dull person who didn't understand the seven emotions and six desires of the human world, he would naturally feel unhappy when he thought that there would be one more person in his house for no reason.
“Prime Minister Shen, you don’t have to feel pressured. Even if you get married, I won’t interfere in your affairs.”
What she was referring to was naturally something like taking a concubine.
For men, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines.
She was grateful to Shen Yuheng for taking her in, so naturally she wanted to return the favor.
If he wanted to take a concubine, she would definitely make sure his beloved beauty was obedient.
Shen Yuheng's body stiffened when he heard this. He glanced at her sideways and said nothing.
Lu Qiaoxiao was frightened into silence by the cold glare, thinking that she shouldn't have arranged this for him before he even got married?
Lu Qiaoxiao shut up obediently, the more he talked, the more mistakes he made.
He looked out the window, and she simply turned her head to look out the window as well, without interfering with each other.
After a moment of silence, Shen Yuheng turned to look at her again: "Xiao You said that your mother will be back soon?"
Lu Qiaoxiao nodded subconsciously, thinking, this brother really doesn't treat Shen Yuheng as an outsider.
"I'll send someone to bring her back from Qingcheng Mountain." Shen Yuheng's tone was light, but his determination was unquestionable.
After saying this, he added, "If you get married, it's always more proper for parents to be present at the ceremony."
Lu Qiaoxiao pursed her lips, her throat was dry.
As expected of the Prime Minister, he pays the most attention to etiquette.
He was very strong, whether he wanted to marry her or bring her mother back.
This is good. It is much safer for Prime Minister Shen's subordinates to pick her up than for her to spend money to hire someone to pick her up.
She was also afraid that those restless people in the family would cause trouble.
"Thank you." Lu Qiaoxiao lowered his eyes and said obediently.
Shen Yuheng said nothing more, lifted the curtain and continued looking out the window.
No conversation along the way.
When they arrived at the Lu Mansion, Lu Qiaoxiao heard the sound of the carriage landing and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Prime Minister, I'll get off the carriage." Lu Qiaoxiao stood up very quickly, as if his butt was very hot in the carriage.
Shen Yuheng nodded, tacitly approving her reckless behavior.
Lu Qiaoxiao jumped out of the carriage like a rabbit. As soon as he landed, he heard the driver behind him say, "Sir, I'll drive the carriage to the front and wait for you."
Lu Qiaoxiao turned her head stiffly, only to see Shen Yuheng already standing behind her, his eyes like a calm lake.
"Let's go." He glanced at her.
"Ah?" Lu Qiaoxiao widened his eyes.
He didn't say it was today.
"I happen to be free today." His tone brooked no refusal, as if he had all the answers in the world.
Lu Qiaoxiao said "oh" and hurried to follow.
The gatekeeper at the Lu Mansion widened his eyes.
It was not because Lu Qiaoxiao walked in properly today, but because of the extraordinary man next to her.
When did Miss Lu bring a man back?
She always just went to other people's houses.
