Chapter 168: Peach Blossoms (Romances) (Part 2)

The Empress suddenly revealed this inforht in an anxious situation There was no doubt that Shen Xin and as not willing to let Shen Miao marry into the Imperial family The most ruthless was the Imperial family In addition to the many political considerations, it was because the complicated inner courtyard of the Imperial family If Shen Miao were to o on easily Wealth and honour was not worth the loss

Shen Xin had the heart to marry Shen Miao off before the I the Palace, because of Su Furen's matter, Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan had already discussed the need of starting to prioritise Shen Miao's lifelong matter Luo Xue Yan had already instructed the subordinates to specially prepare a list and in it, there were all the talented youths in Ding capital The booklet also indicate these people's character, where do they stay, how many people were there in the household and where were their ancestral ho was inquired carefully and in detailed Luo Xue Yan attack on the side by inquiring on Shen Miao's thoughts and once she heard that Shen Miao did notfor a husband, her heart settled and she seriously go all out to look for Shen Miao's husband

The Shen farasp and had a very special place in Emperor Wen Hui's eyes thus it was not easy to casually choose one Shen Xin did not take into consideration those officials that were powerful so as to prevent E an alliance Thus the families that Luo Xue Yan and Shen Xin picked were those that had no arity and clean aristocratic faroup of good brothers in the military and could help him to inquire about those people's character privately

Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan had planned this for Shen Miao but out of their expectation was that when Shen Xin slightly revealed the intention of e, the other party would sed or they were not in a rush to bring in a daughter-in-law Shen Xin was one with a violent temper and also placed Shen Miao on his palm to dote Others did not fancy Shen Miao, Shen Xin would not even look at therily with a brush of his sleeves

However in the course of time, what he encountered were always this situation Those young talents that they had picked with great difficulty would find an excuse of avoid it One or two times would be coincidences but too e Shen Xin also felt that there was so and it was a General as close to Shen Xin that told him that currently the officials all knew that the Imperial family had the intention to bestow Shen Miao to the Crown Prince Shen Xin was finding in-laws at this end but ould dare to fight with the Imperial family for a fe into the Eastern Palace if she marries but it would definitely make the Imperial family displease with Shen Miao's in-laws family

It was all for self protection Even if the Shen family was successful and Shen Miao was smart and unflustered, no one dared to marry her

When Shen Xin knew of the matter, he because pious at home He only said that first he saw that those aristocratic families did not collude orldly events but did not think that they were all as coward as tortoises It was fortunate that Shen Miao did not marry over Hoould these kind of irresponsible people hold the skies for Shen Miao in the future?

When Shen Miao heard the words that Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang inquired, she only smiled faintly

Jing Zhe got worried, “Why is Young Lady not anxious? Now Furen and Master is very anxious If this goes on, one would not be able to find a suitable person before the Imperial edict comes”

“The Fu family are not fools” Shen Miao picked the cup of hot tea and took a sip, “Hoould they not knohat kind of intention Father and Mother is thinking of?”

Shen Miao knew fro that Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan's method would not succeed As to how the infor to marry the Crown Prince flow out, needless to say, it was the Imperial family's uised that Shen Miao was the person they were looking at Hoould the subjects of Ming Qi dare to fight with the Imperial faht to marry Shen Miao as quickly as possible, it was destined to be fruitless

Gu Yu's throat was so Lady have to hness the Crown Prince?”

As personalZhe and Gu Yu did not understand what Shen Miao was thinking, they more or less could feel Shen Miao's emotions Just like Shen Miao did not like the Palace at all nor the people in the Imperial Palace Now if Shen Miao were to marry into the Eastern Palace, she would certainly not be comfortable with it

Shen Miao said, “Watch as one walk” Her heart was however thinking, she had decided not toQi It was only an Iht be able to control the people and land and if it comes to it, she can ruin her reputation The Fu family only wanted the Shen family's military power but dared not show their true selves to the outside world After Shen Miao's reputation was ruined, if the Crown Prince was still insistent ina green hat (being cuckold) or the military poasof the Fu family, it would definitely be reen hat, then the cos deeply but that the Inner Palace of the Imperial family was in a mess

Even if the Fu faain the people's heart, they dared not let the ruo on

It was just that… Shen Miao stared at the floating tea leaves in the cup Her reputation would be destroyed at the same time

Fortunately she did not have any sisters else it would i was that Shen Xin and the rest would suffer fro

However this was the most inferior plan and was the only plan left

Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan did not know that Shen Miao already had her own plans and still looked for a good husband for Shen Miao with their heart But the Ie was send out thus no one dared to even do the Shen family business The doors of the Shen family was so quiet that one could net birds

Shen Qiu alood friend over tostopped by Luo Xue Yan, Shen Qiu, Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan sat in the roo abut Shen Miao's e

Luo Xue Yan said, “This tactic of the Imperial family is just too despicable Previously there were so many people anted to be our in-laws and now everyone all detoured What is this?”

“It's allone should settle a ht that she was still young of age and it would not matter if one were to wait for a few more years One did not expect this would happen”

Shen Qiu scratched his head, “In any case, Younger Sister cannot marry into the residence of the Crown Prince How can the young lady that our General residence raised be other's Secondary Consort? One would even pick and chose to be the official wife so hoould there be any reason to be a Secondary Consort?”

“Now no one dared to have e relations with our family So what can be done?” Luo Xue Yan's expression was so outside the Ding capital to see if there are any suitable families?”

Shen Qiu was astonished, “Mother, you want to er Sister far away?”

Luo Xue Yan said in a bad mood, “I don't have any other options left One feared that all the officials in Ding capital had known of this news and perhaps it had flowed outside the Ding capital It is better to search in remote areas that do not know of this matter”

“Cannot” Shen Xin rejected resolutely, “Marrying far aould only cause Jiao Jiao to feel grievances Moreover with the afar distance and tall mountains, when the in-law fa capital unable to help?”

Luo Xue Yan got annoyed, “This cannot do, that also cannot do Then what can be done?”

Shen Qiu sighed, “When all is said and done, it is these people in Ding capital that are afraid of ier Sister over his own life?” Seeing Luo Xue Yan staring at him, Shen Qiu quickly added, “Other than me and Father”

Just as they were speaking, they saw Luo Ling co in froerly, “Ling-er, did you e to find a suitable family today?”

Luo Ling shook his head

Shen Xin and Shen Qiu were somewhat disappointed

Luo Xue Yan also lowered her head and looked worriedly at the teacup in front of her But in the silence, one heard Luo Ling softly speaking, “GuGu, GuFu and Older Biao Brother”

Three of the's expression was so but stopped

Shen Qiu asked, “Younger Biao Brother, what is the matter with you? Just directly say what you want to say It is only family members here”

Luo Ling took a deep breath and said, “There is still no suitable person for Young Biao Sister yet?”

Luo Xue Yan shook her head and said, “These people in Ding capital are all afraid of the I for their trouble and could not wait to get far from the Shen family It is simply too difficult to find someone suitable at this juncture”

“Then” Luo Ling paused for ato er Biao Sister”

When those words were said, the roo dared not speak and silently retreated to the side

Shen Qiu and Shen Xin stared at Luo Ling but Luo Ling see, “I know thatabout the fa capital that exceeds er Biao Sister I will always treat her well and not bring in any concubines or TongFangs (higher ranked maids that serve the masters in the bedchambers) and she would be the only one in the inner courtyard Moreover…” Luo Ling sently, “If GuGu and GuFu worried about any actions fro her back to Xiao Chun City Father, Mother and Grandfather is there They will also take care of Younger Biao Sister and will not let Younger Biao Sister suffer grievances When GuGu and GuFu make the next expedition, one will be able to return to Xiao Chun City to visit Younger Biao Sister”

“Younger Biao Brother, you…” Shen Qiu could not speak Not only Shen Qiu, Luo Xue Yan and Shen Xin were in a daze

Luo Ling's remarks was simple and did not have those flowery promises but the sincerity was the ht about these two children but could tell that Shen Miao only had brother and sister feelings thus she did not thought more about it Now the situation was different at thewas a far better choice than the Crown Prince

Luo Ling was considered to be watched by Shen Xin and wife as he grew up and his character was gentle and upright, which would be good to accommodate Shen Miao Moreover it was her Eldest Brother's son and still one family Thus when Shen Miao marry over, she would not have difficulties fro and Madaht even be biased towards Shen Miao evenShen Miao back to Xiao Chun City The Heavens was high and the Emperor was far away, even if the Imperial family was unhappy, it would be too far away and Shen Miao would be able to be away froht

As the fight for the heir apparent beca Qi's situation would becoerous Shen Xin was unable to leave the Ding capital due to his military power but did not want his children to be involved in this dangerous vortex Shen Qiu was a male and had already entered officialdom thus he could not escape from it but for Shen Miao, Shen Xin always hoped that she could live peacefully and smoothly

If she ood choice

Shen Xin stared at Luo Ling and his words were sharp, “Ling-er, now you et Jiao Jiao out of this difficulty but what if in the future when youlady that you fancy, ill do you then?”

There were deepersuddenly blushed and insisted, “One will not encounter a young lady that one fancy… I only fancy Younger Biao Sister”

When Shen Qiu heard of it, he was suddenly overjoyed and slapped Luo Ling's shoulder, “Putting it that way, you have long liked Younger Sister?”

Luo Xue Yan was also so's character arm and independent and would not expose his eh he would norht that it was an older brother taking care of a younger sister She however did not expect that Luo Ling had such intentions

Luo Ling nodded his head
