Just as he was thinking, he saw the girl's gaze sweep over him, and she slightly froze. Xiao Li-zi suddenly became nervous. He only knew that he had never seen the Young Lady of the Shen family before. Could it be that this was what the old people in the Palace referred to as fate at first sight? Then wouldn't the Young Miss of the Shen family value him? Just as he was feeling terrified and excited in his heart, he saw that Shen Miao's gaze had instantly turned away, as if it was just an accident. Xiao LiZi's heart was somewhat disappointed in a split second. He did not know why but he felt that after climbing up this Shen family's Young Lady, there would be a big fortune waiting for him. But now, he seemed to have missed that great opportunity.
Before waiting for Xiao LiZi to figure out where this inexplicable idea came from, a tall Furen sitting at the front of the hall had already smiled and said, "Shen Furen, you really made people wait for a long time!"
Luo Xue Yan furrowed her brows slightly, and then a bright smile blossomed on her face. "There were some delays on the road."
"Fifth Young Lady is really getting prettier by the day." That tall Furen's eyes landed on Shen Miao again and said with half truth and half falsehood, "Indeed a person who is going to be engaged. Thinking back to the beginning, she was still a little girl."
Hearing this, Luo Xue Yan's smile immediately sank. The matter of Shen Miao's engagement was simply inexplicable to Luo Xue Yan. It was the Shen residence's people who did it behind her and Shen Xin's back, but she did not admit it at all and was not afraid of offending the Wei family. In terms of family background, the Wei family was not bad but it could not be compared to Shen Xin. At most she would offend the Wei family and what was more important than Shen Miao's happiness? Moreover at this moment Wei Furen was not present. Wanting to clarify these matters for Shen Miao, Luo Xue Yan opened her mouth, "What are you saying? Our Jiao Jiao has just reached a marriageable age and there is no need to marry so early. I want to keep Jiao Jiao by my side for a few more days."
When these words came out, all the Furens and Young Ladies were stunned. After all, the news of Shen Miao's engagement had spread like wildfire a few days ago. Afterwards at Old Shen Furen's birthday banquet, the rest of the Shen family almost tacitly agreed but now when it came to Luo Xue Yan, it seemed that the marriage was going to be empty?
The tall lady squinted her eyes as if she sensed that something was amiss. Her smile became more and more meaningful as she said, "Oh? So Shen Furen still wanted to keep Fifth Shen Young Miss for a few more days? But a few days ago wasn't it said that Fifth Shen Young Lady was going to be engaged? "
"Furen really knows how to joke," Luo Xue Yan was not afraid of any face, and was even more not afraid that the internal conflicts of the Shen family would be exposed in front of everyone. With relatives like the rest of the Shen family, what was the point of protecting their face? She raised her eyebrows and said loudly, "How can there be a daughter's engagement without her parents knowing anything? Master and I don't know what Madam is talking about, so where did the engagement come from? "
As soon as Luo Xue Yan finished speaking, whispers sounded in the surroundings. The tall lady didn't expect Luo Xue Yan to say that, so she was stunned for a moment.
Correct, there was nothing in this world that the parents of a daughter did not know about. For Luo Xue Yan and Shen Xin to not know about Shen Miao's engagement, there was only one reason, the Shen family hid it from them. As for why the Shen family wanted to do this, there were a lot of reasons.
Just as everyone was pondering, Ren Wan Yun, Chen Rou Qiu and the rest also arrived.
Shen Gui and Shen Wan naturally went to the men's main hall first. Ren Wan Yun brought Shen Qing, Chen Rou Qiu and Shen Yue over slowly.
This was the first time Shen Qing went out after she was bedridden, and these days she had lost a lot of weight. She was originally at the best age of a young female, but now there was a faint old fatigue. In order to cover up her haggardness, she put on a thick layer of rouge and powder, and wore a red dress. Shen Qing was not suitable for such gorgeous colours, and with one look, it was very unsuitable and somewhat incongruous. In addition there was a child in her abdomen, so even though she tried her best to cover it up, her steps looked somewhat unsteady.
