After the sedan was finally lifted, Shen Yuan returned to the entrance of the Shen family. He walked to Shen Miaoâs side and stood there. Looking at the sedan leaving, he said, âFifth Sister, you look very calm.â
âIâm not the one getting married. Why shouldnât I be calm?â Shen Miao replied.
âFifth Sister, do you know what will happen to Qing after she gets married?â
âHer future is not up to me.â
Shen Yuan did not seem to hear Shen Miaoâs words and continued, âIn this world, everything is changeable. Sometimes, the situation you think is a conundrum will turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Sometimes, a smooth sailing will lead you,â His voice suddenly sank. âInto a storm.â
âThatâs right.â Shen Miao smiled. âNo one knows what will happen.â
Shen Yuan finally turned around and looked at Shen Miao. He sized her up, making her feel uncomfortable, and said, âI only realized today that Fifth Sister is actually a smart person.â
Shen Miao did not comment. She heard a shout behind her. âSister!â Shen Qiu rushed over and looked at Shen Yuan warily before saying to Shen Miao, âSister, donât run around. There are many people outside. You never know who has designs on you.â
Shen Yuan glanced at Shen Qiu and smiled again. âEldest Brother, you must be joking. Besides, Fifth Sister is so smart. Iâm afraid no one is her match.â
Shen Qiu sneered. âMy sister is naive by nature unlike some sinister people. As her brother, I naturally have to worry about her all the time. Otherwise, those well-educated wolves will eat her up. Letâs go, Sister. Letâs take a carriage to Prince Yuâs mansion!â
The Shen family also had to go to Prince Yuâs mansion to attend the banquet. However, Shen Qiuâs words showed that he really did not trust Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan looked at the backs of the siblings as they left, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes.
The wedding sedan had to travel through more than half of the capital and past the most prosperous streets. After all, it was a marriage personally arranged by the empress, so it naturally had to be grand.
On the most prosperous section of the road, the young man in white was waving the fan at himself as usual. He looked out of the window at the grand bridal escort team. As the bridal escort team walked, they scattered copper coins. The commoners who were watching the show rushed forward to snatch them. From the looks of it, they were also in a joyous mood.
However, only the person in the sedan knew what it felt like.
âThis marriage is quite grand.â Ji Yushu played with the silver coin in his hand and said, âI havenât seen such a lively marriage in a long time. I wonder if Iâll have an equally grand wedding with Miss Shaoyao in the future.â
âYouâre still thinking about Miss Shaoyao.â Gao Yang glanced at him. âYushu, I remember that you have a fiancée, right? Does your fiancée know that youâre wooing Miss Shaoyao?â
âI already told you that didnât count. A marriage was arranged for me when I was just an infant. I donât even know what she looks like! I wonât marry her! I just love Miss Shaoyao. If Miss Shaoyao turns me down, then Fifth Miss Shen is not bad either.â He chuckled and looked at the person opposite him. âThird Brother Xie, right?â
Xie Jingxing glanced at him and couldnât be bothered to speak. Gao Yang sneered. âShen Miao? Iâm afraid you will die not even knowing how you died.â
âWhat? Donât talk like sheâs like a rakshasa. I think sheâs smart, sensitive, bold, and meticulous.â Ji Yushu said indignantly, âBesides, sheâs not bad-looking. I heard that she was infatuated with Prince Ding before. How can Prince Ding compare to me?â
Gao Yang looked at Ji Yushu. âYouâre really something. However, Miss Shen seems to be in trouble.â
âWhat trouble?â Ji Yushu asked.
âShen Qingâs brother, Shen Yuan, is back.â Gao Yang said gloatingly, âShen Yuan will definitely not let Shen Miao off. Shen Yuan is not easy to deal with. Among the second branch of the Generalâs Mansion, Shen Gui is even more scheming than his father, Shen Gui.â
âShen Yuan doesnât seem to be an ordinary person.â Ji Yushu suddenly thought of something. âIsnât he Fu Xiuyiâs man?â
âHeâs just a small fry,â Xie Jingxing suddenly said.
âHa, youâre still so arrogant.â Gao Yang asked, âWhatâs the next move?â
âWaiting.â
Waiting for someone to start the game, then⦠joining the game when it was about to end and reaped the benefits.
