On the carriage back to the Shen residence, Shen Miao still sat alone in the carriage. Gu Yu and Jing Zhe who were by her side were worried for her. That Prince Yu of the First Rank's notoriety was known to the entire Ming Qi, but he sent an invitation to Shen Miao. Not to say that it was inappropriate for a young lady like Shen Miao to go, anyone with discerning eyes could see what Prince Yu of the First Rank had in mind.
If Shen Xin was here, he would definitely reject it with all his might. But now that Shen Xin was not here, the two Shen family's sisters-in-law had ulterior motives. In the past when Shen Miao was urinating, now with Shen Miao's age, she was able to think about marriage, so naturally the idea was placed on her head.
Jing Zhe endured and endured but finally could not help but said, "Young Lady, that Prince Yu of the First Rank … What about today's matter? Why don't we send someone to write a letter to Master? If Master knows about this, he will definitely rush back. "
"Yes." Gu Yu was also deeply worried, "That person did not come with good intentions and now in the inner courtyard … Moreover Young Lady was in the limelight today, one fear that there would be a lot of trouble in the residence." She sighed.
Shen Miao was originally young and could not see anything but Gu Yu and Jing Zhe, the two maids that Shen Furen specially picked for Shen Miao, could see it clearly. It was obvious that the Second and Third household were jealous of the First household's reputation, thus they would openly and secretly trip up Shen Miao. With the narrow-minded hearts of these two households, with Shen Miao in the limelight today, one fear that she would become a thorn in their eyes. She was not afraid of other things but if Prince Yu of the First Rank was involved … If he had any crooked ideas, it would be hard for Shen Miao to deal with it. After all, most of the people in the first branch had been replaced by the other two branches.
Shen Miao lightly said, "What is there to be afraid of? Whatever ideas he has, it all depends on whether he has the ability or not."
She was calm and composed, but the words she spat out seemed to carry a faint dignity, as well as a trace of imperceptible ruthlessness. Gu Yu and Jing Zhe looked at each other. They did not know what was going on but the panic just now had dissipated a little and gradually calmed down.
Upon returning to the Shen residence, Shen Miao only said that she was tired today and needed to rest, so she said that she would return to the Western courtyard first. Ren Wan Yun and Chen Rou Qiu smiled as they spoke to Shen Miao, and instructed her to rest well. Perhaps they knew that it would not be good for Shen Miao if Prince Yu took a fancy on her, so both of their smiles were unable to conceal their joy in other's misfortune. Ren Wan Yun even touched Shen Miao's head and said intimately, "Seeing that Fifth Lady has reached such an old age and is so charming. It won't be long before I get married. "
"Yes." Chen Rou Qiu also echoed meaningfully, "A young lady like our Little Five can only be matched with those of noble status. An ordinary family would never be able to marry our Little Five. "
A trace of joy flashed across Shen Yue's face. Shen Qing could not wait to open her mouth, "Of course, Fifth Younger Sister will definitely get a very 'respectable' Langjun." After saying that, she covered her mouth and giggled. As she giggled, she looked at Shen Miao with understanding eyes.
But even under such a suggestive gaze, Shen Miao's expression did not waver at all. Shen Qing's smile stiffened. The more Shen Miao appeared to be calm, the more annoyed she was in her heart. Everyone was well aware of the invitation that Prince Yu sent today, which meant that he had taken a fancy on Shen Miao. But now that Shen Miao was not moved, one fear that she still did not know the severity of it. A trace of ridicule flashed in her eyes. She was really a fool.
"ZhengZhen and Older Sister had said it before." Shen Miao spoke in a neither salty nor light manner, "In terms of age, Eldest Sister and Second Older Sister are slightly older than me. Naturally it would not be my turn to be the first to look for a Langjun."
The few of them paused for a moment before Ren Wan Yun smiled, "You this child. Sigh, it is all because Eldest Bo is not in the capital. ZhengZhen also love you dearly. As for Eldest Sister and Second Older Sister, your Third Shen and I are in the Ding capital, so naturally there is no need to worry. "
"Is it?" Shen Miao gently asked back. Her pair of clear eyes did not seem to have any expression but it made one's heart tremble. It was as if when one was looked at by that pair of eyes, one's thoughts would not be able to hide. She smiled gently, "Since ZhengZhen are so worried about me, in the future I will have to repay one or two."
She said it lightly but Ren Wan Yun and Chen Rou Qiu did not know why but a trace of uneasiness flashed in their hearts. But they immediately threw this absurd thought to the back of their minds. Even though Shen Miao was a little clearer now, but she was after all a fourteen year old little girl, how big of a wave could she create. Moreover … Thinking of Prince Yu's matter, both of them were somewhat proud.
"Sigh, Fifth Lady need not be so polite. We are all one family." Ren Wan Yun smiled, "Since you are tired, then go back and rest first. Your Second Shen and I still have some matters to do. Gu Yu, Jing Zhe, protect Fifth Young Lady well. "
Gu Yu and Jing Zhe complied and left with Shen Miao.
After they left, Ren Wan Yun and Chen Rou Qiu looked at each other and saw the schemes in each other's eyes.
After half an incense stick of time, Rong Jing Tang's Old Shen Furen frowned, "You all say that Prince Yu of the First Rank has taken a fancy to Fifth Girl?"
Shen Yue and Shen Qing were banished to the inner hall as it was inconvenient for them young ladies to participate in these matters. Even so, both of them still secretly ran behind the screen and ignored Zhang Mama's dissuasion to eavesdrop on the conversation in the hall.
"Not bad." Ren Wan Yun's face was full of smiles but her words were dignified, "Fifth girl's results in today's academy examinations was brilliant and made Prince Yu to have a whole new level of respect for her. Since the invitation was sent, it means that he has the intention to have Fifth girl. Daughter-In-Law see, one fear that our Shen residence can also have a Qinwang Fei. "
When Chen Rou Qiu heard that, the corner of her lips twitched. This Ren Wan Yun's words were dignified but that Prince Yu of the First Rank had taken a fancy to Shen Miao but did not say that he wanted to marry her officially. Moreover even if he really married her, with Shen Miao's life, one did not know how long she could last. One fear that she would not be able to be a Wangfei for a few days before the fragrance and jade perished. After all, the notoriety of Prince Yu of the First Rank was known by everyone in the Ding capital.
Hearing that, Old Shen Furen's expression sank a little. In her heart, she naturally did not wish for the First household to do well. Why should the son of that person who had died for many years be better than hers? Previously when the Old General was still alive, he favoured the First household and now that the First household wanted to have a Wangfei, it really made her extremely unhappy. She immediately said, "With Fifth girl's temperament, how can she be a Wangfei? Eldest girl or Second girl is more like it. "
Old Shen Furen stayed in the inner courtyard all year round and only knew how to enjoy. She really did not know anything about the matters outside. Hearing her words, Chen Rou Qiu's and Ren Wan Yun's expressions changed at the same time. Shen Yue and Shen Qing who were hiding behind the screen also jumped in shock. One must know that Old Shen Furen did not know but both of them knew. Upon entering the residence of Prince Yu, there was only the situation of being tortured to death and it was a hellish fire pit.
Ren Wan Yun quickly spoke, "Mother, it is not like this. We naturally wish for Fifth girl to be well. Even though His Highness Prince Yu is a widower and older in age and his reputation is not very good, but fortunately his family is good. " She thought of something and her lips hooked up, "In the future when Seventh Son grows up, it would be better to have His Highness Prince Yu to take care of him. If Fifth Girl had any mishap, His Highness Prince Yu would take more care of Seventh Son as compensation. "
To actually use Shen Miao's life to exchange for Shen Yuan Bo's future. Chen Rou Qiu glanced at her Second Sister-in-law. It was indeed a good scheme.
