The brush in Shen Yue's hand suddenly paused and a long ink mark instantly appeared on the unfinished painting. The painting was originally a beautiful autumn scenery but an ink mark suddenly appeared in the blue sky. But she did not take it to heart and instead questioned the maid in front of her in a flustered and exasperated manner.
"What did you say? Mother is going to choose a husband for me?"
"Replying to Second Young Lady." That maid lowered her head and said carefully, "Furen had already selected a few people from the list and sent someone to send the invitation. Thinking that in a few days time, Second Young Lady would come along to visit."
"Shameful!" Shen Yue threw the brush down in a flustered and exasperated manner. One did not know who she was scolding. Her original gentle and elegant appearance was now gone and the surrounding maids did not dare to breathe loudly. Everyone knew that this Second Young Lady looked gentle and weak but would not show any mercy when dealing with servants that she could not stand.
Shen Yue revealed an irritated look.
She was now eighteen years old. At eighteen years of age, she could marry in the Ding capital and even if she was not married, she would have already settled down with someone. But until now she had not betrothed to anyone. She was a talented female with unlimited talent and good looks. She had a gentle and intelligent temperament and there were countless males that liked her but she only wanted to marry one person and that was Fu Xiu Yi.
Prince Ding Fu Xiu Yi was the youngest among the Princes and also the one that had not married a Consort. In the beginning, Shen Miao fell in love with Fu Xiu Yi at first sight and was bewitched by Fu Xiu Yi's charm. How would one know that Shen Yue was not the same? Perhaps that kind of male was born to dazzle others. He did not have the eccentric temperament of the Princes and was young and handsome. He was of noble descent and was most probably the most distinguished male in Ming Qi other than the Emperor. Shen Yue had always felt that only she was worthy of Fu Xiu Yi. So at the beginning when Shen Miao shamelessly announced her love for Fu Xiu Yi to the public, Shen Yue felt that Shen Miao was insulting her own sweetheart.
Fortunately Fu Xiu Yi was extremely cold to Shen Miao and until now, there was nothing between Shen Miao and Fu Xiu Yi which made Shen Yue sigh in relief. In the beginning she eavesdropped on Shen Wan and Shen Gui's conversation and said that it was possible that Fu Xiu Yi married Shen Miao in order to obtain Shen Xin's military power. She was uneasy for a long time and wished that Shen Miao did not exist in this world. Fortunately Shen Miao gave up on her own.
Now that there was no Shen Miao to compete with her, why did her own parents come to force her?
"I'm going to tell my mother that I'm not getting married! I will not marry! "Shen Yue stood up and randomly swept the brush, ink, paper and inkstone on the table. It was obvious that she was very angry. The surrounding maids quickly knelt on the ground, but no one dared to dissuade her.
On the other side, someone in Cai Yun Court also heard the commotion.
Cai Yun Court was much more desolate than it had been two years ago. Ever since Ren Wan Yun's death, Shen Gui had hurt the roots of his descendants. Old Shen Furen was furious and did not allow Shen Gui to bring any messy females back to the residence. Shen Gui smashed a broken pot and knew that he would no longer be able to have children with females in this lifetime. When he returned to the residence and looked at the courtyard, he felt annoyed and simply wandered to the brothel everyday. Other than the servants, there were only Wan YiNiang and Shen Dong Ling left in Cai Yun Court.
Shen Gui once had two sons and compared to the Third household, it could be considered as having a flourishing number of heirs but unfortunately, there was only a Shu daughter left. In any case, Shen Dong Ling was Shen Gui's only bloodline thus the servants started to respect Shen Dong Ling and Wan YiNiang.
"What's all that noise out there?" Wan YiNiang, who was doing needlework, raised her head. These two years she had been living well and as compared to the yes-man in the past, she looked much more unyielding.
The young maid at the door said, "Replying to YiNiang, it is Second Young Lady throwing a tantrum because of Third Furen choosing a son-in-law for her and is currently rushing over to Qiu Shui Yuan."
With a 'chi' sound, Wan YiNiang laughed out loud and shook her head, "This Second Young Lady and Younger Sister will get angry because of this matter." She suddenly thought of something and her eyes dimmed, "Really one does not know how fortunate one is."
Her Shen Dong Ling was also a young lady of the Shen residence and her age was not much different from Shen Yue. But Old Shen Furen did not look at the Shu daughter and Shen Gui did not care about the matters in the courtyard. Shen Dong Ling's status was not high and after such a long time, there were very few people who came to talk about marriage. Even if there were, they were all inexplicable families and one would know that they were not good people.
She was worried about Shen Dong Ling's marriage on this end but Shen Yue was dissatisfied that there were people managing her. Reincarnating was indeed a matter of accumulating good karma.
Just as she was thinking, she saw Shen Dong Ling standing up from behind the screen. She had grown a lot and her figure was slender and slender. With her sharp brows and sharp eyes, she had the same graceful bearing that Wan YiNiang had when she sang the role.
"Where are you going?" Wan YiNiang casually asked.
Shen Dong Ling said, "Isn't YiNiang always worried about my marriage?"
Wan YiNiang was surprised for a moment as she did not know what she meant.
"I waited for two years and now this opportunity has come." Shen Dong Ling said.
