Shen Qing's body trembled and she lowered her head and did not speak. She knew that Ren Wan Yun had told her about the Huang family's marriage and that Huang De Xing was considered a young talent but she did not know why her heart was very resistant to this marriage. It was as if her intuition told her that under this bright and beautiful marriage, there was an unknown danger.
Yi Pei Lan's voice was not soft and was heard by Huang Furen who was sitting at the side. When Huang Furen heard it, she looked at Shen Qing critically. Regarding this marriage, she merely wanted to find a nominal wife for her son. Shen Qing could be considered as a good match for her son, but looking at her sickly appearance today … it would be better if she wasn't a sickly invalid. After all, she still had to carry on the Huang Family's ancestral line and give birth to a son. As for the rest, she could do whatever she wanted.
At the other end, Bai Furen was quietly whispering to Chen Rou Qiu, "Rou Qiu, I see that the Fifth Young Lady in your residence is not simple."
"Oh?" Chen Rou Qiu asked curiously, "Why do you say so?"
"One fear that there is someone guiding Fifth Shen Young Lady from behind. Just now when she came in, all the Furens had seen it. That posture and etiquette was even more proper than in the Palace. If I say something that one does not like to hear, one fear that Yue-er is much inferior. "
Chen Rou Qiu was startled, "What are you saying? Who does not know that Fifth Lady does not understand etiquette."
Bai Wei was Chen Rou Qiu's best friend and also came from a scholarly family, thus naturally the requirements for etiquette were very high. Today she looked up to Shen Miao so highly, which made Chen Rou Qiu feel that it was inconceivable. At the same time that she felt that it was ridiculous, she could not help but look towards the place where Luo Xue Yan was sitting.
Luo Xue Yan was isolated as she sat at one side and Shen Miao was next to her. Luo Xue Yan was after all old and had a lot of experience so even if no one paid attention to her, she would not have the slightest change in expression. She only needed to bring out the same imposing manner that she had on the battlefield that would not change colour even if Mt. Tai collapsed in front of her. But Shen Miao, a young female, also sat upright. If others did not speak to her, it did not look like they were deliberately ignoring her but more like they did not dare to speak to her.
Chen Rou Qiu's fingertips were somewhat trembling.
The womenfolk all had their own thoughts and in the main hall, Shen Xin's words had also set off a huge wave in the hall.
"Official Shen's words are true?" Emperor Wen Hui asked.
Emperor Wen Hui was close to sixty years of age but did not look old at all. There was a smile on his face and his pair of eyes were astute and sharp, and one could faintly see the sharpness of his youth. At this moment, he looked down at Shen Xin and asked in a low voice.
Just now in front of all the officials, Emperor Wen Hui rewarded Shen Xin but Shen Xin requested for Emperor Wen Hui to bestow a grace to allow him to stay in the Ding capital for half a year as he wanted to accompany his wife and daughter in the residence.
For so many years, the Formidable Great General Shen Xin had fought on the battlefield and was brave and invincible, but he had never made such a request. For a moment, it made people think deeply and the expressions of the officials changed. At this critical moment, Shen Xin wanted to stay in the capital for half a year. Was it really just to accompany his loved ones?
Emperor Wen Hui sized up Shen Xin. He had not died yet but the fight for the throne between the princes was already like a storm. Now the situation was ever-changing and any party's intervention would cause the entire situation to change. A few days ago, the matter of Shen Xin's Di daughter, Shen Miao, being infatuated with Prince Ding had spread like wildfire. Emperor Wen Hui even thought about what would happen if this fat piece of meat of the Shen family landed in Fu Xiu Yi's hands, but who knew that there was suddenly no news of it. Now that Shen Xin suddenly made such a request, could it be that there was another plan?
He carefully sized up the man below. Shen Xin's skin was dark and his eyes were firm. His figure was as straight as a hill and when he looked at Emperor Wen Hui, his actions were also respectful. He was a loyal and brave iron man. But when an Emperor controls his subjects, it was never based on the surface but the value. To Emperor Wen Hui, if there was a threat to the country, even if it was a huge merit, it must be removed cleanly.
