“Miss?” Bai Lu was stunned. “Miss, do you mean that the Wei family is not bad?”
“Not bad.” Shen Miao said indifferently, “I’m afraid when Father comes back and finds out about this marriage, he won’t reject it. To an official’s daughter, Wei Qian is indeed a good man who can be trusted.”
“Miss, how did you know?” Jingzhe was puzzled. Shen Miao was in the mansion all day. Even when she was outside, she was only in Guangwen Hall. There was no way for her to know the situations of these official families. However, it seemed like she was very familiar with them, which puzzled the maids.
Shen Miao who stayed in the mansion all year round naturally did not know which young master was talented. However, as Empress Shen, she knew very well who was talented and had good personalities. Wei Qian was indeed a good talent and had a good personality. Therefore, when the Wei family came to propose marriage to Shen Miao, Shen Miao was surprised to know that Old Madam Shen actually agreed.
At this moment, Gu Yu ran in from outside and said with a surprised expression, “Miss, a maid from Rongjing Hall has sent a message to you. Old Madam wants you to go to Rongjing Hall at a moment’s notice.”
“They’re really fast.” Shen Miao narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Then let’s go and take a look.”
In Rongjing Hall.
Shen Yuanbai leaned against Old Madam Shen. Over the past few days, Ren Wanyun had been busy taking care of Shen Qing, so she simply left Shen Yuanbai at Rongjing Hall. Old Madam Shen loved her grandson to begin with, so she naturally doted on him a lot.
Chen Ruoqiu and Shen Yue were not around. Ever since Ren Wanyun started taking care of Shen Qing in the mansion, Chen Ruoqiu temporarily took over the reins of the family. Naturally, the task of socializing with the rich madams fell to her. Chen Ruoqiu certainly would not let go of such a good opportunity. She brought Shen Yue out every day to socialize. She also wanted Shen Yue to show up more in front of the madams of the noble families.
Ren Wanyun stood in the middle of the hall, her eyes dark and deep.
Shen Miao was brought to Rongjing Hall by Old Madam Shen’s maid.
These days, she was grounded. Every day, she had to copy Buddhist scriptures and kneel in the Shen family’s ancestral hall. Old Madam Shen probably did not like her and did not let her come here to pay her respects.
“Miao, after copying the scriptures, have you become calmer?” Old Madam Shen asked.
......
Hearing that, Shen Miao almost laughed out loud. She smiled and said, “Much calmer.”
“That’s good.” Old Madam Shen cleared her throat, and her maid quickly handed her a cup of tea. She opened the lid of the tea and took a sip. Then, she looked at Shen Miao and said, “Although it wasn’t your fault a few days ago, you were the one who started it. Moreover, you’re too stubborn. That’s why I grounded you to copy the scriptures. Do you have a grudge against me?”
“No, I will never hold a grudge against you.”
“I know you’re a sensible girl.” Old Madam Shen looked at her in satisfaction. “You’re the daughter of the Shen family, so of course, I’ll dote on you. You’re about to reach the age of marriage. Today, the Wei family came to matchmake you with their legitimate son. Do you think this marriage is good?”
