Chapter 129: Imprisonment (4)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In Guangwen Hall, Yi Peilan asked Shen Yue, “Are your sisters really getting married? Why don’t they come to Guangwen Hall?”

Ever since coming back from the Wolong Temple, Shen Miao and Shen Qing had never left the house. Shen Miao was grounded, and Shen Qing had to recuperate.

Shen Yue smiled. “I don’t know. Maybe you are right.”

“Speaking of which, your sisters are quite lucky.” Jiang Xiaoxuan thought for a moment and said, “Especially Shen Miao. Both Young Master Wei and Young Master Huang are not bad. Why didn’t they marry you?”

Shen Yue said with a forced smile, “I still want to stay at home for a few more years. I’m not thinking about getting married.” However, there was a knot in her heart. Indeed, at her age, she was meant to start considering marriage. In the Shen family, Shen Miao was two years younger than her. Now that even Shen Miao was engaged, Shen Yue was the one who was not wanted.

She couldn’t stand Shen Miao doing well. In the past, Shen Miao was inferior to her in everything. Now that a family like the Wei family took the initiative to propose marriage, it meant that Shen Miao was acknowledged as a qualified girl. If not for Chen Ruoqiu’s persuasion, Shen Yue probably wouldn’t be able to get over it.

“You.” Bai Wei tapped her forehead. “You have to think for yourself…” She nodded at the other side. “What do you think of him?”

Shen Yue followed Bai Wei’s gaze. When Cai Lin sensed Shen Yue’s gaze, he turned around and was stunned for a moment before looking away uncomfortably.

Shen Yue’s eyes turned red and she bit her lower lip tightly.

The young man who used to love her so much was now avoiding her like the plague. A proud person like Shen Yue naturally felt extremely humiliated.

Cai Lin avoided Shen Yue’s gaze and was a little frustrated. Ever since he was taught a lesson by Shen Miao at the test, when he saw Shen Miao again, he would feel a fear that came out of nowhere. It was as if his innate fear of danger made him want to avoid Shen Miao. Moreover, that day, Xie Jingxing seemed to have helped Shen Miao out. Cai Lin was a big shot in the capital, but he was in no way a match for Xie Jingxing, so he naturally would not take the initiative to go against him. No matter if Xie Jingxing did it on purpose or not, Cai Lin would not dare to provoke Shen Miao again.

......

That day at the test, Shen Yue did not even look at him, which completely destroyed the young man’s burning passion for her.

Seeing that Shen Yue was embarrassed, Yi Peilan pursed her lips and changed the topic. She smiled and said, “However, it’s your grandmother’s birthday soon. I think I should go and pick some gifts.”

Old Madam Shen’s birthday banquet every year was extremely grand. This kind of extravagance was even comparable to that of the royal family. Old Madam Shen felt that the grander the birthday banquet, the more she would be respected. Every year, many officials would be invited. Shen Gui and Shen Wan were naturally happy to see this. This way, they could expand their network.
