Chapter 061 Chapter 61

Shen Linfeng was originally thinking about something else, but after hearing what Madam Shen said, he quickly said, "Mother, I don't need anyone to serve me. Don't worry about me. Haven't I been living well these years?"

"It is extremely normal for young men from noble families to have people in their rooms. You think you are protecting her, but actually you are harming Miss Yan. People think she is jealous, and it is not a good thing for a woman to have a reputation for being jealous." Mrs. Shen is of course the most experienced.

In her opinion, her arrangement was a very normal thing. She was not even a bad mother-in-law. She was very considerate of the girl. She sent the girl away before the girl consummated the marriage. As a mother-in-law, she was sincere enough to do this. She didn't expect that her son didn't even want a concubine.

She is so amazing even before she gets married. If she really gets married, my son will probably be bewitched by her, right?

Shen Linfeng didn't think from Yao Niang's perspective. He just thought that he really didn't care much about matters between men and women. To be honest, the examination system had already made him exhausted, and half of his mind was on the Yan family.

Shen Linfeng asked a serious question: "Mother, what if my son falls in love with the maid you gave him? Will you not marry the sister of the Goddess?"

"How could this be? These concubines are nothing more than maids." Mrs. Shen found what her son said unbelievable.

Shen Linfeng lowered his eyes: "Mother, you also know that they are maids. Maids are servants. They just need to do their own job well. Why do they always interfere? If every maid is not thinking about how to do their own job well, but thinking about sleeping with the master and becoming rich and powerful, wouldn't the family be in chaos?"

Mrs. Shen glanced at her son and laughed in anger: "I never thought that my son is such a sentimental kid."

Shen Linfeng quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Son, I dare not."

"This is the rule. Your cousin already has someone to serve him. There is no chaos in his family and no one dares to act rashly. If you still recognize me as your mother, this is what you should do." Mrs. Shen said.

Shen Linfeng looked at Madam Shen in disbelief: "Mother, why didn't you do this when I wanted to marry Yan Ningxin last time? Are you treating the Divine Concubine differently now?"

In fact, although Mrs. Shen heard Shen Mo say that her brother liked Yan Ningxin, she sent someone to propose marriage. However, she obviously felt that although her son's words were nice at that time, they were more based on status. Mrs. Shen even heard Shen Mo say that her brother did not understand girls' hearts at all.

She originally wanted to arrange for them to get to know each other better before marriage, but she had no idea that her brother only played polo with other girls, just like they were brothers. Shen Mo complained that her brother was just a good-looking guy, but actually didn't know how to deal with girls at all.

But now Mrs. Shen realized that it was not that the other person was not incapable of doing it, but that he was very capable of doing it.

Knowing that Miss Yan San loved to eat shrimps and crabs, he delivered them to her house every day. Knowing that she loved to play on the swing, he wanted to make a swing at home and even knelt down to ask to marry Miss Yan San.

Mrs. Shen also tilted her head and looked at him: "You have argued with your mother over and over again for a woman. Where is your filial piety? I really didn't expect my son to become like this one day."

Shen Linfeng also felt that Madam Shen was unreasonable. Why was she so tolerant towards Yan Ningxin, but so harsh towards the Divine Concubine's sister?

But out of filial piety, Shen Linfeng quickly knelt down and said, "Mom, please don't be angry."

Seeing her son kneel down, Madam Shen felt better. She naturally didn't want to be the bad guy, so she personally pulled her son up and said, "Good boy, we can't become estranged because of a few servants. In fact, even if you ask Miss Yan San, she will definitely agree. If you don't agree, she will think you are ruining her reputation."

"Really?" Shen Linfeng thought thoughtfully.

Mrs. Shen thought to herself that which woman in the world would be willing to say that she was jealous? Even Miss Yan San's biological father and brother had many wives and concubines. If she wanted to argue, she should argue with her own family.

Seeing her son in deep thought, Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "Mom is an experienced person, don't you still not believe what I say?"

Shen Linfeng was also afraid of continuing to argue with Madam Shen, so he just said, "Mother, I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

After Shen Linfeng left, Madam Shen said to Mother Zhou beside her, "I originally chose Qinghong and Moyu because they are usually stupid and not jealous. But now it seems that the third daughter of the Yan family has already won my son's heart before she enters the house. If she enters the house, I, as a mother, will have to depend on my daughter-in-law's mood."

Mother Zhou said, "Madam, Miss Yan is still young, she would never do that."

Madam Shen smiled and said, "She is young, so it may not be easy to control her. Just listen to me. Let Li'er serve the master. You don't have to let him favor her. Just put her in the study. Which man can resist such a beautiful woman with strange sounds and natural beauty?"

Mother Zhou thought that Li'er was sold to the Shen family, and when she cried, she looked like a pear blossom in the rain, so she was called Li'er. The key point is that this Li'er is different from other women. She is well-behaved and gentle, a person with a real crystal heart, never seducing others, and has excellent moral character. How can the eldest son not be tempted when he lives with her day and night like this?

Miss Yan San is undoubtedly a beauty, but there is a difference between a girl and a woman at the age of fourteen and seventeen, and the charm is also different. It seems that the lady is furious.

At this time, Shen Linfeng went out to find Yan Jingzhao. It was said that the couple could not see each other before they got married, but he really wanted to meet Yao Niang and have a chat with her.

Yan Jingzhao naturally refused: "Brother Shen, I usually deliver things for you under the supervision of the elders, but now..."

Shen Linfeng glanced at Yan Jingzhao and sighed again: "This concerns our lifelong happiness, so I'll trouble Brother Boying."

He also wanted to know what kind of person Yao Niang was. Of course, he could just kneel down and beg his mother, but the more he did some things, the more his mother seemed to target his sister, the Divine Concubine. This was not acceptable.

Yan Jingzhao didn't expect Shen Linfeng to be so concerned. To be honest, the Yan family and the Shen family had already had a big problem because of the previous marriage, and now it's happening again. The daughter of the Yan family might be criticized.

However, Yan Jingzhao said: "Brother Shen, I know you are anxious, but don't worry. If you want to see my sister, you must get her consent. If she agrees, I will tell my mother about the arrangement."

Shen Linfeng nodded hurriedly.

It was also said that Yao Niang had a bloody swelling on her head from a mosquito bite that had not healed yet. Although it was very small, she was afraid to touch it because it would bleed if poked. She used to be stingy and liked to pick off things on her body that made her uncomfortable. It was almost healed when she tore it open, and now she dares not do it again.

She was doing needlework again. She would definitely have to present purses, sachets, socks and other things to the Shen family when she went there. It was too late to do them now, but she could make as much as she could, as it was better than having nothing.

Fortunately, she is good at needlework, as these things are just tiring for the eyes.

Just at this moment, Yan Jingzhao came over.

Yao Niang put down her needlework and said, "Brother, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Yan Jingzhao brought up the issue: "He didn't say what it was, but he said it was related to your lifelong happiness. I didn't dare to be careless, so I came here to see if you are willing to meet him."

"He wants to see me?" Yao Niang felt it was a little abrupt, but she still said, "Maybe he really has something to ask. I'll trouble you, brother."

It was really outrageous for Yan Jingzhao to take his sister away in public, so he had to find an excuse to let Yao Niang go to his study to read, and then he would ask Shen Linfeng to come over and talk, and let the two meet in Yan Jingzhao's study.

Yao Niang wore a bright red narrow skirt with Hu sleeves today, which made her figure look even more exquisite. When she pushed the door open, she saw Shen Linfeng standing up. I didn't expect that although Shen Linfeng was only wearing a blue dress with white edges today, the dress shone in the light, as if it was made of gold and silver threads.

"I heard that you had something to see me about." Yao Niang closed the door and felt that she was brave enough to meet the man in private, even though this man would soon be her husband.

This was the first time Shen Linfeng saw Yao Niang. She was not so ethereal, but rather had a bit more feminine grace. His ears turned slightly pink, "Sister Goddess, I have something to tell you."

Yao Niang glanced at him and said, "Go ahead."

"My mother insisted on giving me two girls, and I swore to die rather than obey. But she also said that you were afraid of the reputation of being jealous, and I would be sad if I didn't accept you." Shen Linfeng said.

Yao Niang looked at him, not understanding how he could tell her about this. Was he forcing her on purpose, or what? But seeing that Shen Linfeng was indeed very sincere, she said, "Then let me ask you, are you willing?"

Shen Linfeng shook his head instantly: "I don't want to."

"Why?" Yao Niang privately thought that she and Shen Linfeng were just friends who had met a few times. There was really no such thing as a lingering relationship between them. She could only say that she was a good match for him.

She remembered that year when she was hiding behind the rockery and heard Shen Linfeng and Wang Mian say that what he wanted was to be the mistress of the house.

Isn't it possible that he is testing her now?

Shen Linfeng glanced at Yao Niang, and seeing that she was getting to the bottom of the matter, he said as a matter of course: "Because you will be my wife soon, I will naturally care about you."

This was not the answer Yao Niang wanted to hear. She turned away and said, "Then think about it, would you specifically come to ask who you want to marry?"

Shen Linfeng was stunned: "No, it won't."

Seeing him like this, Yao Niang took a step forward and closed the distance between him and Shen Linfeng. Shen Linfeng didn't dare to look directly at him, but Yao Niang stared into his eyes and said, "You came to my house like this to ask for my opinion. Doesn't that show your feelings?"

Shen Linfeng covered his chest and said, "I didn't think about anything, I just ran over here."

"I know you've always been thinking about me. I never thought that your family would let me get married so early. Although I don't understand anything, I know that Linfeng, you are definitely the best person to me besides my parents and brother, so you care about me a lot. I'm really happy." Yao Niang looked at his expression, walked forward and held the corner of his clothes with a shy girlish look.

Shen Linfeng looked at her and felt his heart pounding. He was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so he had to change the subject: "I rejected my mother's request outright, Sister Shenfei, don't worry."

Yao Niang pulled his sleeve and shook it: "If you say that, she will definitely be even angrier. From Mrs. Shen's perspective, she thinks you are disobedient and disobeying her. I don't want you to be awkward, because I know that because you have me in your heart, there is no room for others, right?"

Shen Linfeng looked at Yao Niang: "Although I know this is not good, but I don't know what to do?"

"Then come closer and listen." Yao Niang whispered.

…

Yan Jingzhao, who had been guarding outside the door, heard no more sounds from the inner room. As a brother, he certainly couldn't really leave a man and a woman alone in a room, even if they were an engaged couple. But he was afraid of embarrassment and could only stand outside the door.

I can't help but think that Shen Linfeng came to my house specifically to ask for a concubine, and even went against his parents. If it were him, he probably wouldn't have done it. Yao Niang was so young, but she was quite skilled. She didn't say whether she was jealous or not, nor did she say that she only wanted someone who was loyal to her. She just kept praising Shen Linfeng, saying that he cared about her, that he only cared about her and couldn't care less about others. It was just like brainwashing. If he wasn't so smart, he would have been in trouble if he met such a woman.

No wonder Shen Linfeng is so eager to charge into the battle line for her sister. Her brainwashing ability is so terrible. Now he doesn't know what idea she will come up with. Yan Jingzhao took a step back.

She's already fighting with her mother-in-law before she even gets married, which is pretty unique.
