Chapter 124: Chapter 124 - Marriage Exchange (5)

Shen Miao smiled and said, “My parents will decide on my marriage. It’s not for me to worry.”

Old Madam Shen was about to fly into a rage when she heard Ren Wanyun cough softly. She calmed down and said with a calm expression, “You’re really too willful. At first, you liked… That’s fine. Now that I see that you seem to have woken up from your fantasy and known your limits. This family is considered a good match for ours. That young master of the Wei family, Wei Qian, is also a dignified and talented man. Even your father wouldn’t reject this marriage. This is the first time such a family has come to propose marriage to you. If you don’t seize the opportunity, that young master of the Wei family will become someone else’s husband.”

Shen Miao was still unmoved. She said indifferently, “Young Master Wei is indeed not bad, but it’s really not what I want. Grandmother, forget it. My father and my mother will naturally make the decision for me.”

“You!” Old Madam Shen, who was not patient to begin with, finally said angrily, “Are you complaining that I, your grandmother, am interfering in your marriage?”

“I didn’t say that.” In other words, Shen Miao was implying that she was the one who said that.

Old Madam Shen was so angry that she was about to go crazy. Now, Shen Miao was becoming ever more arrogant and posing a threat all the time. Old Madam Shen hated the first branch, but she was also afraid of Shen Xin. Therefore, after so many years, although she was angry, she could only hold it in. She could not hit Shen Miao, because if she did, she would be punished by Shen Xin. At most, she could only reprimand Shen Miao. All these years, she just sat back and watched as Ren Wanyun and Chen Ruoqiu raised Shen Miao to be a useless idiot.

However, in the end, for some reason, one day, Shen Miao, who had been raised to be useless, suddenly became smart. Old Madam Shen said angrily, “Don’t you have any manners?!”

Shen Miao found it boring. With Old Madam Shen’s patience and composure, she definitely wouldn’t be able to live for more than two days in the harem. She had seen too many powerful women in her previous life. She really didn’t want to take Old Madam Shen seriously.

“Let me ask you again.” Old Madam Shen looked at Shen Miao and asked in a low voice, “Who do you think about this marriage?”

“I don’t agree,” Shen Miao replied.

“Good, good, good.” After saying “good” three times in a row, the maids quickly went forward to hold Old Madam Shen to prevent her from fainting from anger. Old Madam Shen said indignantly, “In that case, it seems like you have learned nothing from copying the scriptures. From today onwards, you’ll move out of your courtyard and live in the Shen family’s ancestral hall. You’ll be grounded to copy the scriptures every day until you learned your lesson.”

A young girl like her would definitely be scared out of her wits if she faced the memorial tablets of her ancestors every day. Moreover, the ancestral hall was cold. If she stayed there for a few days, she might fall sick. Old Madam Shen said that out of anger. After saying that, she looked at Shen Miao, probably waiting for her to beg for mercy.

However, Shen Miao didn’t even frown and said, “Yes, I’ll go back and pack my things and move to the ancestral hall immediately.”
