After the sedan was finally lifted, Shen Yuan returned to the entrance of the Shen family. He walked to Shen Miao’s side and stood there. Looking at the sedan leaving, he said, “Fifth Sister, you look very calm.”
“I’m not the one getting married. Why shouldn’t I be calm?” Shen Miao replied.
“Fifth Sister, do you know what will happen to Qing after she gets married?”
“Her future is not up to me.”
Shen Yuan did not seem to hear Shen Miao’s words and continued, “In 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,” His voice suddenly sank. “Into a storm.”
“That’s right.” Shen Miao smiled. “No one knows what will happen.”
Shen Yuan finally turned around and looked at Shen Miao. He sized her up, making her feel uncomfortable, and said, “I only realized today that Fifth Sister is actually a smart person.”
Shen Miao did not comment. She heard a shout behind her. “Sister!” Shen Qiu rushed over and looked at Shen Yuan warily before saying to Shen Miao, “Sister, don’t run around. There are many people outside. You never know who has designs on you.”
Shen Yuan glanced at Shen Qiu and smiled again. “Eldest Brother, you must be joking. Besides, Fifth Sister is so smart. I’m afraid no one is her match.”
Shen Qiu sneered. “My 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. Let’s go, Sister. Let’s take a carriage to Prince Yu’s mansion!”
The Shen family also had to go to Prince Yu’s mansion to attend the banquet. However, Shen Qiu’s 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.
“This marriage is quite grand.” Ji Yushu played with the silver coin in his hand and said, “I haven’t seen such a lively marriage in a long time. I wonder if I’ll have an equally grand wedding with Miss Shaoyao in the future.”
“You’re still thinking about Miss Shaoyao.” Gao Yang glanced at him. “Yushu, I remember that you have a fiancée, right? Does your fiancée know that you’re wooing Miss Shaoyao?”
“I already told you that didn’t count. A marriage was arranged for me when I was just an infant. I don’t even know what she looks like! I won’t marry her! I just love Miss Shaoyao. If Miss Shaoyao turns me down, then Fifth Miss Shen is not bad either.” He chuckled and looked at the person opposite him. “Third Brother Xie, right?”
Xie Jingxing glanced at him and couldn’t be bothered to speak. Gao Yang sneered. “Shen Miao? I’m afraid you will die not even knowing how you died.”
“What? Don’t talk like she’s like a rakshasa. I think she’s smart, sensitive, bold, and meticulous.” Ji Yushu said indignantly, “Besides, she’s not bad-looking. I heard that she was infatuated with Prince Ding before. How can Prince Ding compare to me?”
Gao Yang looked at Ji Yushu. “You’re really something. However, Miss Shen seems to be in trouble.”
“What trouble?” Ji Yushu asked.
“Shen Qing’s brother, Shen Yuan, is back.” Gao Yang said gloatingly, “Shen Yuan will definitely not let Shen Miao off. Shen Yuan is not easy to deal with. Among the second branch of the General’s Mansion, Shen Gui is even more scheming than his father, Shen Gui.”
“Shen Yuan doesn’t seem to be an ordinary person.” Ji Yushu suddenly thought of something. “Isn’t he Fu Xiuyi’s man?”
“He’s just a small fry,” Xie Jingxing suddenly said.
“Ha, you’re still so arrogant.” Gao Yang asked, “What’s the next move?”
“Waiting.”
Waiting for someone to start the game, then… joining the game when it was about to end and reaped the benefits.
