Even if they did not understand the matters of the inner courtyard, they could see that something was wrong with Shen Miao. Shen Qiu opened his mouth but Luo Xue Yan held Shen Miao's hands and softly said, "Jiao Jiao, tell Mother what happened. Father and Mother are back and no one would dare to bully you in the future."
"No one dares to bully me." Shen Miao smiled, "Nothing happened to me."
"What exactly happened on that day when the ancestral hall caught fire?" Shen Xin asked in a deep voice, "Why did you stay in the ancestral hall alone?" Both husband and wife entered the Palace early in the morning to meet the Emperor and only left people to investigate in secret, but there was no time to investigate the strangeness.
"I made a mistake and was locked in the ancestral hall. Who knew that the ancestral hall suddenly caught fire …" She said awkwardly.
When Shen Qiu who was behind saw this, he wanted to say something but stopped. He knew what was going on but Shen Miao repeatedly told him not to tell the matter to Shen Xin and wife. Even though he wanted to tell his Father and Mother the truth, Shen Miao said that if Shen Qiu did not keep the secret, she would no longer care about Shen Qiu, so he dispelled this idea.
Shen Xin indeed asked Shen Miao, "What mistake did you make? Even if it was a big mistake, you should not be locked in the ancestral hall alone. "
"Oh." Shen Miao played it down, "I contradicted Second Shu in front of ZuMu and others."
"What?" Luo Xue Yan's eyebrows were raised but she did not reprimand Shen Miao but said, "Number two is really getting older and older. A grown man arguing with a young female. Do you not have any face?"
Gu Yu and Jing Zhe who were serving in the room twitched their lips. The First household of the Shen family were the most protective and it was indeed not nonsense. Even if Shen Miao hit Shen Gui, one fear that Shen Xin and wife would blame Shen Gui for making Shen Miao's hands sore.
"Younger Sister, why did you contradict Second Shu?" Shen Qiu could not help but ask.
"Most likely it is because … I am not willing to marry." Shen Miao said.
"Marry?" Luo Xue Yan and Shen Xin exclaimed at the same time. Luo Xue Yan looked at Shen Miao and asked anxiously, "Marry what person? How come your Father and I do not know? "
Shen Miao lowered her head, "The Assistant Minister of the Legislative Bureau's Wei family proposed marriage for their Di son, Wei Qian, and even exchanged the Geng invitation but I am not willing to marry, so I contradicted in public."
"Wei Qian …" Shen Xin pondered for a moment, "The Wei family is a large family and the Di son of the Wei family seems to be a young outstanding talent. If one were to talk about it, it would be similar to Jiao Jiao …" He was actually seriously looking at this marriage again. Shen Xin had been an official for so many years and even though he was not in the Ding capital, he had a good understanding of his colleagues in the officialdom. If the Wei family was some prodigal son, he would naturally be able to tell at a glance but Wei Qian was a rare son-in-law. Shen Xin thought of other things for a moment.
"What are you thinking about?" Luo Xue Yan roared, "He is the Heavenly King, even if he is the Emperor, Jiaojiao can't refuse!"
Luo Xue Yan's words were shocking. She was a valiant female born from a military family in the Northwest and her marriage with Shen Xin was fought for by herself. Thus Luo Xue Yan could not bear to see all the arranged match-making words of parents. She said, "Moreover, both of us do not know about this matter so who knows what kind of intentions they have!" Ever since she saw Shen Miao trapped in the sea of fire and Ren Wan Yun and the rest were calm and composed, Luo Xue Yan was filled with disgust towards the rest of the Shen family and her previous good impression was swept away.
Shen Xin also frowned. It was reasonable to say that the Wei family had such a good marriage and if it was arranged to Shen Miao, it would not be considered a loss. After all, it was rare to pick out such a good young outstanding talent in the Ding capital. But since it was such a good marriage, why did the Shen family hide it from them husband and wife?
Shen Qiu's lips curled up. He knew what was going on and was also somewhat resentful that Shen Miao did not tell the rest of the Shen family about the idea of exchanging the marriage. However he could only remain silent. He did not know why but every time Shen Miao's gaze swept over to him, there was a kind of deterrent force. Shen Qiu himself was not willing to believe that he, who was invincible in the battlefield, would actually be afraid of his own Younger Sister.
