"Parent's orders and matchmaker's words." Shen Miao smiled, "Naturally Father and Mother will worry about this granddaughter's marriage."
"You this girl!" Old Shen Furen saw that she had bumped into a soft rebuff and almost flew into a rage. When she heard Ren Wan Yun's soft cough at the side to remind her, she slowly changed into a calm expression and said, "You this girl is really too capricious. Originally you adore … Then forget it. Now seeing that you seem to have sobered up a lot these days, it seems that you know the propriety. This Assistant Minister of the Legislative Bureau's family is considered to be well-matched with us. That Young Master of the Wei family, Wei Qian, is also a dignified person and is an outstanding talent in both literature and martial arts. Even if your Father was here, he would not say anything bad about this marriage. You have been brought up to this age and this is the first time such a family came to propose marriage. If one do not grasp the opportunity well, that Young Master of the Wei family will turn around and become someone else's husband. "
Even though Old Shen Furen was not good as an elder, her matchmaking skills were not bad. Most likely it was because she was a songstress and knew that young females loved to be charming, thus she only said that Wei Qian was a good person in everyone's heart. Even though Shen Miao knew that Old Shen Furen did not lie and that Wei Qian was indeed a good person.
Even so, Shen Miao was still unmoved and said lightly, "Young Master Wei is indeed not bad but it is not what I wish for. Grandmother better forget it. My marriage will naturally be decided by my father and mother. "
"You!" After being contradicted time and time again, Old Shen Furen did not have any patience and finally said angrily, "Are you complaining that this grandmother is interfering in your marriage and extending my hand too far?"
"This granddaughter did not say so." The implied meaning was that this was what you said yourself.
Old Shen Furen was so angry that she was about to go crazy. Now the unruly Shen Miao was covered with thorns all over her body and could not move at all, making one's heart ache from suffocating. Old Shen Furen hated the First household but was also afraid of Shen Xin. Thus for so many years, even though her heart was angry, she could only hold it in and not get close to Shen Miao and put on a serious but fair grandmother act. She could not hit Shen Miao as this would be discovered by Shen Xin and at most he would reprimand her, thus she had been watching coldly as Ren Wan Yun and Chen Rou Qiu raised Shen Miao to become a cripple. Even though it was said that one would die from flattery, but it was rarely discovered by others.
In the end, no one knew what happened, but one day, Shen Miao, who had been raised to a cripple, suddenly became quick-witted. Not only was she quick-witted, her temperament also became impervious to everything. She said angrily, "Do you still have any respect for your superiors!"
Shen Miao felt bored. With Old Shen Furen's patience and determination, if she was thrown into the Inner Palace, she would not be able to survive for more than two days. She had seen too many powerful females in her past life and Old Shen Furen was such a short-sighted and did not know the immensity of Heaven and Earth, she really did not want to put her in her eyes.
"I ask you again," Old Shen Furen still remembered the purpose of today and looked at Shen Miao as she asked, "What is your intention in this marriage?"
"I do not agree." Shen Miao answered.
"Good, good, good." After saying 'good' three times in a row, Fu-er and Xi-er quickly went forward to caress Old Shen Furen's chest lest she fainted from anger. Old Shen Furen laughed in anger, "Since it is like this, it seems that you are not truly repentant. From today onwards, you will move out of your courtyard and live in the Shen family's ancestral hall. Recite scriptures every day and see if your unruly temperament can be ground down!"
To live in the ancestral hall, one would have to face the ancestors' memorial tablets every day. For a delicate young lady, one fear that she would be scared out of her wits. Moreover the ancestral hall was located in a cold place and after staying for a few days, one might get sick. Old Shen Furen said those words in a fit of anger and after finishing, there was a flash of pride in her eyes as she looked at Shen Miao, most likely waiting for Shen Miao to beg for mercy.
But Shen Miao did not even frown and said, "Yes. This granddaughter will go back to pack up and immediately rush over."
