Venomous Empress Reborn

717 Peach Blossom Luck (2)

Gu Yu felt a lump in her throat and said, “Miss, are you really going to marry the Crown Prince?”

As her personal maids, although Jingzhe and Gu Yu sometimes could not understand what Shen Miao was thinking, they could more or less sense her emotions. For example, Shen Miao did not like the palace at all, nor did she like the people in the palace. Now that Shen Miao was asked to marry into the royal family, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Shen Miao said, “Let’s wait and see.” However, she thought to herself that she would never want to marry into the royal family of Ming Qi again. However, an imperial edict was not to be challenged. If she had to, she would ruin her reputation. In the end, what the royal family wanted was the military power of the Shen family, but they did not dare to snatch it blatantly. After Shen Miao’s reputation was ruined, if the crown prince still insisted on marrying her, his intention of wanting the military power from Shen Xin would be too obvious to the outside world.

However… Shen Miao stared at the tea leaves floating in the teacup. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she didn’t want to ruin her reputation.

Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan did not know that Shen Miao already had an idea and were still thinking about finding a good husband for her. However, the message from the royal family had already spread, and even matchmakers did not dare to accept the business from the Shen family.

If Luo Xueyan hadn’t stopped him in time, Shen Qiu would have gone to kidnap his friend to marry Shen Miao. Shen Qiu, Luo Xueyan, and Shen Xin sat in the room and talked about Shen Miao’s marriage with worried expressions.

Luo Xueyan said, “The royal family is really too despicable. Previously, so many people wanted to be in-laws with us, but now, they all want to stay away.”

“It’s all my fault.” Shen Xin said, “I should have arranged a marriage for Jiaojiao back then. I thought that she was young and there was no rush. I didn’t expect this to happen.”

Shen Qiu scratched his head. “No matter what, Sister can’t marry the crown prince. We doted on her. How can we let her be someone’s secondary consort?”

“Now that no one dares to be in-laws with us, what should we do?” Luo Xueyan looked a little anxious and asked tentatively, “Why don’t we try to find a suitable family outside the capital?”

Shen Qiu was surprised. “Mother, are you going to marry Sister far away?”

Luo Xueyan said angrily, “I have no choice. I’m afraid all the officials in the capital are informed of this. It might even have spread outside the capital. We have to find people in some remote places where no one knows about it.”

“No.” Shen Xin rejected flatly. “If she marries too far away, we can’t help her when she is bullied by her husband.”

Luo Xueyan was angry. “This won’t do, and that won’t do. What do you think we should do?”

Shen Qiu sighed. “The people in the capital are afraid of getting into trouble. Is there no man who likes Sister more than his life?” Seeing Luo Xueyan staring at him, Shen Qiu quickly added, “Other than me and Father.”

As he spoke, he saw Luo Ling walk in. Luo Xueyan asked him to sit down and asked anxiously, “Ling, have you found anyone who wants to marry Jiaojiao today?”
