“Of course we have to hide it from him. He’s so heartless. He only wants to use my daughter to gain more power.” Ren Wanyun sneered. Her husband’s coldness and her daughter’s accident had already made her look old. It was as if a few wrinkles had appeared on her face overnight. Her originally kind face was now replaced by a sinister expression. “This has to be done flawlessly. Even if he finds out in the future, it will be too late.”
“But won’t this be bad for Miss?” Caiju asked, “Even if it succeeds, how can the Huang and Wei families, after knowing the truth, be willing to accept it?”
“Don’t worry.” Ren Wanyun held the paperweight in her hand and said, “What the Huang family wants is just a girl from an official family. As for the Wei family, if they dare to make a fuss, I’ll sue them for raping innocent women. There will always be a way to make them shut up. Moreover,” Her expression instantly turned sinister, “What’s wrong with Qing? Isn’t she better than that little b*tch, Shen Miao? The Wei family should consider themselves lucky to have my daughter instead of Shen Miao.”
At the mention of Shen Miao, Ren Wanyun trembled with hatred. Xianglan and Caiju immediately lowered their heads in silence.
After a while, Ren Wanyun said, “But the most important thing now is to get the two marriages done as soon as possible. We have to do it before Shen Xin and his wife return to the capital.”
“They will only return to the capital at the end of the year. There are still a few months left.” Xianglan took a step forward and reminded, “On the other hand, Fifth Miss is too stubborn. If she finds out that she’s engaged, she’ll probably cause a commotion. She might even escape from the Shen family at night. What will we do then?”
“Escape?” Ren Wanyun said fiercely, “That depends on whether she has the ability or not. Isn’t she locked up in the ancestral hall now? From today onwards, lock up the ancestral hall!”
She actually wanted to lock up Shen Miao alive!
Xianglan and Caiju were shocked and lowered their heads. In the past, although the Shen family suppressed Shen Miao, it was not obvious on the surface. This was the first time they had used such a ruthless method on Shen Miao.
“That little b*tch has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. She has to be locked up. When the time comes, we’ll just drug her and force her to marry. The Huang family is not a kind bunch. After a few days of discipline, she will be obedient.” Ren Wanyun did not hide the viciousness in her words. “If they can’t, how about Prince Yu?” She smiled smugly.
… .
The winter was getting colder and colder. There were frequent reports of victory in the Northwest Desert. The army led by Shen Xin had rendered meritorious service by defeating the enemy. On the battlefield, the enemy was terrified. The people in the capital naturally guessed that when Shen Xin returned to the capital at the end of the year, he would definitely be rewarded with countless merit points.
The glory of the Shen family was really enviable, but it was all earned on the battlefield. Now that the Xiongnu had not retreated, and the neighboring countries were also eyeing the land covetously, the Ming Qi royal family naturally had to put the Shen family in an important position. However, in the future, it was hard to say if it would still be so. After all, the royal family always liked to stab people in the back. Especially the nine princes of the Ming Qi royal family, no one dared to underestimate them.
......
If there was anything exciting in the capital recently, it would be that the daughters of the Shen family were going to get married. However, for some reason, details of this matter weren’t revealed. People only knew that two families came to propose marriage. One was the Wei family, the Minister of Zhongshu, and the other was the Huang family. These two families were both rich and powerful. The two young masters were considered young and talented, and they were of equal social status with the Shen family. Shen Yue went to Guangwen Hall every day as usual, so everyone could guess that the ones who were going to get married were definitely Shen Miao and Shen Qing.
