Chapter 527 - 527 Marriage (4)

527 Marriage (4)
However, she was, after all, just a little girl who was forced to grow up. Just because she had never shown weakness did not mean that she was really not weak. For example, when she woke up from a nightmare just now, the despair in her eyes was enough to shock people.
She grabbed his collar, her entire body trembling, as if she had experienced a huge horror. However, in an instant, she returned to her usual dignified self. She was like an injured ferocious beast, but she had to show her strength at all times, because once her wound was discovered by the enemy, she would be killed without mercy.
Xie Jingxing was confused. He was not a kind person and had a ruthlessness that ordinary people did not have, but every time he was with Shen Miao, he would always hold back. From the first time he saw Shen Miao, he had actually been giving in to her.
However, he did not know why.
He deliberately said that the rain had not stopped just to see her fall asleep. She was obviously very afraid, but she wanted to put on a brave front, so he could only pretend not to know.
When the rain stopped, he put down the gauze curtain and left the room.
On the bed, Shen Miao’s eyelashes fluttered, but she did not open her eyes.
The house opposite the new Shen mansion had been bought by Prince Rui. Xie Jingxing walked out and Tie Yi and Nan Qi, who were waiting outside, quickly followed.
“Reply to the invitation from the palace, and tell themI’m going,” Xie Jingxing said.
Tie Yi paused for a moment. “Master, didn’t you you weren’t going?”
“I’ve changed my mind.” Xie Jingxing glanced at him.
Tie Yi quickly nodded, but he was very puzzled. The invitation was sent by a few princes in the palace. Xie Jingxing did not want to get involved with the crown prince of the State of Qin and the princes of Ming Qi, so he rejected it. Why did he suddenly change his mind now? Tie Yi carefully glanced at his master and felt that Xie Jingxing’s eyes were cold, making him even more puzzled.
Xie Jingxing’s gaze turned cold.
In Shen Miao’s dream, not only did she call Luo Xueyan’s name, but also Fu Xiuyi, Prince Ding.
He recalled what Shen Miao said in her sleep about how she used to like Fu Xiuyi, and a mocking smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
The fact that she liked someone made him feel uncomfortable.
…
The unexpected rain made the capital extremely cold the next day. People were talking about the heavy rain last night and felt that it was a sign of something bad coming.
“I didn’t expect the rain to come so suddenly. I forgot about the flowers and plants in the courtyard. When I came out this morning, a few pots were broken. Those flowers are expensive. What a pity.” As Chen Ruoqiu helped Shen Wan put on his clothes, she talked about the heavy rain last night.
Chen Ruoqiu had always been particular about elegance. Even those flowers and plants were especially rare. Shen Wan listened absent-mindedly and did not look at Chen Ruoqiu.
Chen Ruoqiu noticed Shen Wan’s abnormality and asked with a smile, “Master, is there something on your mind?”
Shen Wan came back to his senses and looked at Chen Ruoqiu. “I think Yue is already at the age of marriage.”
Chen Ruoqiu’s heart skipped a beat, but she smiled and said, “I know. I’ve always been looking for a suitable husband for Yue. However, we have to choose carefully. We can’t let Yue suffer. Master, your heart will ache too, right?”
This time, Shen Wan didn’t just stop at that. He said with a straight face, “It’s been two years since Yue turned 16. Even if the girls of other families are not married, they’ve already been engaged. If this continues, it’ll be difficult to find a suitable husband for her in the future. The families I told you about a few days ago are not bad. I’ve seen them. They’re compatible. Yue won’t suffer if she marries over.”
