629 Adding Fuel to the Flame (4)

Shen Wan wanted Shen Yue to dispel the idea of marrying Fu Xiuyi and chose the Wang family because the Wang Family was not on Fu Xiuyi’s side in the competition for the throne. However, it turned out that Shen Yue was infatuated with Prince DIng, and the third branch of the Shen family supported Prince Ding. If the Wang family and the third branch of the Sheng family were related through one way or another, they would definitely have conflicts in the future. Therefore, as long as the Wang family were not stupid, they would not let Shen Yue marry over. Even Shen Dongling’s marriage exchange was a blessing for the Wang family because they didn’t want to have anything to do with Prince Ding.

Shen Yue’s fate with the Wang family was destined to end. However, Shen Dongling did not feel pity or sympathy for her. Shen Yue asked for it, so she naturally had to bear the consequences herself.

Even if the Wang family agreed to let Shen Yue enter the family as an equal wife, would Shen Yue be ok with it? Shen Dongling did not think so.

Not only did Shen Dongling not think so, but Shen Miao also did not think so.

Jingzhe said, “The Shen family is in a mess. This show is really exciting.”

Shen Miao smiled indifferently. “Maybe. The bigger the mess, the better. We’ve cut ties with them, and it has nothing to do with us.”

Jingzhe looked at Shen Miao and walked to the side to mutter to Gu Yu, “What’s going on with Miss these days? Why does she look like she’s not in a good mood?”

Gu Yu was stunned for a moment. She looked over and saw Shen Miao sitting in the courtyard, the book in front of her untouched. She supported her chin with one hand and looked into the sky lazily, thinking about something.

“I think so.” Gu Yu nodded and said, “She’s been listless for the past few days.”

“She’s not just listless.” Jingzhe shook her head. “In the past, Miss would always be happy to see the Shen family in trouble. Now that the Shen family is in a mess, Miss only nodded faintly when she heard that, as if she’s not interested. Is she sick?”

“She can eat, drink, walk, and jump. What kind of sickness would make her like this?” Gu Yu rolled her eyes. “Do you think she’s lovesick?”

“Who’s lovesick?” A voice came from behind. The two of them were shocked and turned around to see Luo Ling walking over. Jingzhe and Gu Yu quickly greeted, “Greetings, Young Master Luo.”

Luo Ling waved his hand and walked towards Shen Miao, who was sitting at the stone table. When he walked to her side and saw that she was still sitting there in a daze, he called out, “Little cousin?”

Shen Miao turned around and saw Luo Ling. She smiled and said, “Cousin Ling.”

Luo Ling sat down opposite Shen Miao. His right hand was still not healed, but Shen Qiu had found a left-hand sword technique for him. Over the past few days, he had really been practicing the left-hand sword technique seriously. His mind was much broader than before, and his speech was even more eloquent, making him different from other men of his age. Occasionally, when he walked out, girls would steal glances at him and discuss shyly. They heard from Luo Tan that many young ladies in the capital secretly liked him.

Luo Ling said, “Little Cousin, what’s on your mind?”

Shen Miao smiled. “Nothing. I was just absent-minded.”

She looked at Luo Ling. “Cousin Ling, why are you looking for me?”

Luo Ling was stunned, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his handsome face. He just wanted to come and see Shen Miao, but when Shen Miao asked seriously why he was here, he didn’t know how to answer her. He had an idea and said, “Uh, the pastries you sent me a few days ago were a little too sweet, so I came to tell you.”
