718 Peach Blossom Luck (3)

Luo Ling shook her head.

Shen Xin and Shen Qiu were both a little disappointed.

Luo Xueyan also lowered her head and looked at the teacup in front of her worriedly. In the silence, she heard Luo Ling say softly, “Aunt, Uncle, Cousin.”

The three of them looked up and saw that Luo Ling had a strange expression on his face.

Shen Qiu asked, “Cousin, what’s wrong? Just say it. There is no outsider here.”

Luo Ling took a deep breath and said, “Has Cousin Miao found a suitable person yet?”

Luo Xueyan shook her head and said, “These people in the capital are all afraid of going against the royal family and don’t want to have anything to do with us. It’s really too difficult to find a suitable person who is willing to marry Jiaojiao at this juncture.”

“In that case,” Luo Ling paused for a moment before mustering his courage and saying,” I’m willing to marry Cousin Miao.”

As soon as he said that, the room fell silent. Even the maids at the side did not dare to speak and quietly retreated to the side.

Shen Qiu and Shen Xin stared at Luo Ling, but Luo Ling seemed to have suddenly gained courage and continued, “I know that my right hand is not good now. In terms of family background and appearance, there are many people in the capital who are better than me, but… I’m willing to marry Cousin Miao. I’ll always be good to her and won’t take any concubines. She’ll be the only one. Moreover…” Luo Ling smiled and said, “If Aunt and Uncle are worried about the royal family, I can take her back to Spring City. Father, Mother, and Grandfather are both there. They will also take care of her and won’t let her suffer. When Aunt and Uncle go to war next time, you can also return to Spring City to visit her. ”

“Cousin, you…” Shen Qiu was speechless. Not only Shen Qiu, but Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin were also stunned.

Luo Ling’s words were to the point and honest. It was not that Luo Xueyan did not think about putting these two children together, but seeing that Shen Miao seemed to only treat Luo Ling as her cousin brother, she did not bring it up. However, the situation is different now. Compared to the crown prince, Luo Ling was indeed the better choice.

Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan watched Luo Ling grow up. They knew that he had an upright and gentle personality. If Shen Miao married him, she would not be made difficult by her parents-in-law. Most importantly, Luo Ling could bring Shen Miao back to Spring City.

As the competition for the throne between the princes became more and more intense, the situation in Ming Qi became complicated, and the capital became a dangerous place. Shen Xin could not leave the capital because of his military power, but he did not want his children to be involved in the dangerous vortex. Shen Qiu was a man and had already become an official, so he could not escape. However, Shen Xin always hoped that Shen Miao could live a peaceful life.

If she married into the Luo family, it would indeed be a good choice.

Shen Xin stared at Luo Ling and said sharply, “Ling, if you want to help Jiaojiao out by marrying her now, you might meet the girl you like in the future. What will you do then?”

Luo Ling suddenly blushed and said firmly, “I won’t meet the girl I like… I only like Cousin Miao.”

When Shen Qiu heard that, he was overjoyed. He slapped Luo Ling on the shoulder and said, “In that case, you’ve always liked my sister?”

Luo Xueyan was also a little surprised. Luo Ling did not normally show his emotions. Although he was usually good to Shen Miao, Luo Xueyan thought that it was just an elder brother taking care of his sister. She did not expect Luo Ling to have a different feeling towards Shen Miao.
