Chapter 29 - The Matchmaking (2/2)
Shi Qingxue felt so guilty that she hurriedly grabbed Mo Yuzhen’s hands and comforted her in a low voice, “Maybe She Changfeng was not that terrible as you have imagined?”
At least in her memory, although She Changfeng was not gifted, he could still be regarded as a good-looking and talented man in the capital city!
“You haven’t met She Changfeng yet. It’s a bit early to make a conclusion now. How about this? I will go out of the palace with you to see She Changfeng, and then we can make our plans.”
Mo Yuzhen’s eyes brightened and she was immediately intrigued, “Yeah, why didn’t I think of it?”
Although it was too bold for a girl to inspect her future husband, it was not a big deal to both of them.
Just…
“But what if I find out that he is a macaroni after the inspection?” Mo Yuzhen became worried again.
If she didn’t know what kind of person he was, she could still comfort herself and marry him. But if she found that she was sick of him, then she couldn’t guarantee that she would be willing to get into the wedding sedan.
Shi Qingxue said in her heart, “If you really find that he is not good, even if you are willing, I won’t let you marry him.”
No matter how hard Third Prince Mo Junjiu struggled, he couldn’t become the Emperor at last. She wouldn’t let her friend sacrifice for nothing!
But she could only hide those words in her heart. She still had to comfort her, “Don’t worry about it. Thinking so much is just asking for trouble. You will know when we meet She Changfeng.”
After the two made this decision, Mo Yuzhen obviously became cheerful, and grabbed Shi Qingxue and laughed, “Speaking of it, my mother did not just talk about my marriage, but also mentioned you.”
Shi Qingxue opened her eyes in confusion, pointing at herself with her index finger, “Me?”
Empress Liang Jingxian had always disliked her, and even at the palace banquet, she still troubled her several times. Why would she care about her marriage?
“Yeah!” Mo Yuzhen nodded seriously, “My mother would like Third Brother to marry you!”
“What? Impossible!” Shi Qingxue opened up her mouth in surprise, and didn’t respond for a long time.
Mo Yuzhen thought that she didn’t believe in her charm, and pointed out smilingly, “I don’t understand the complicated etiquette in politics, but you are the most beloved daughter of Duke Shi. With such an identity, almost every man at the proper ages in the capital city should be eager to scramble for you, which like wild duck!”
In addition, Shi Qingxue herself was a very intelligent and talented girl. No man would be unwilling to marry her.
Shi Qingxue pretended to spit to Mo Yuzhen in anger, “You are the wild duck! Don’t talk nonsense!”
“Okay, I use the wrong words. Sixth Lady, please spare my life!” Mo Yuzhen posed for mercy, bowed in front of Shi Qingxue seriously, but then was pushed by her.
The two laughed and joked together.
After a long while, Mo Yuzhen said in a serious look again, “Qingxue, what I say is true. Even your eldest sister, the eldest daughter of Duke Shi is not as popular as you. Do you have…?”
Hearing that, Shi Qingxue also took back her smile, and replied in a low voice, “It has nothing to do with whether I am popular or not. I haven’t thought about it for the time being.”
In the past life, she fell for the one she loved, and she was left with nothing but a broken heart. In this life, she didn’t want to touch that poisonous love at all.
Mo Yuzhen looked relieved, and then smiled again, “Fortunately, I thought you would say that you were into Fourth Brother! It worried me for a long time.”
Shi Qingxue did not expect that Mo Yuzhen, who had always been so carefree, could even find out her mind. She remembered that she hadn’t mention it in front of anyone in her previous life. Was it true that her admiration was so obvious?
Fine!
Regardless of her mind in her last life, she had been avoiding Mo Junhao like avoiding a poisonous snake or scorpion at present. It was no use mentioning it.
Then she laughed and said, “How come? I don’t dare to dream of the prince!”
Mo Yuzhen looked at Shi Qingxue with suspicion, and obviously she was implying, “If you don’t dare to do it, then no one else in the world dares to do it.”
However, she was happy and didn’t argue. However, she said sincerely, “Qingxue, fortunately you don’t want to marry him, or I will be so sad!”
Shi Qingxue felt surprised, thinking that Mo Yuzhen was really speaking for Mo Junjiu, and her mood became strange. She pretended to joke, “Why? You really want me to be your sister-in-law?”
Mo Yuzhen rolled her eyes, and said, “What are you thinking? How could I not know about my Third Brother? Let alone that he chases after fame and fortune. He also is greedy of beauty, no matter it is male or female.
We are friends. How could I push you into the fire?”
The more she said, the angrier she became. Even if Shi Qingxue was just joking, she couldn’t bear it.
In fact, Liang Jingxian saw that they had a good relationship. It was not that she hadn’t wanted her to persuade Shi Qingxue. She would like to lose her lifetime happiness in exchange of her Third Brother’s bright future, but she didn’t want to ruin Shi Qingxue’s love, so she refused immediately then.
Even though Liang Jingxian criticized her for several days, she did not regret it.
Shi Qingxue also knew that she had misunderstood Mo Yuzhen at this time, and hurriedly apologized, repeatedly saying that she was just joking.
But she was also confused, “Since you didn’t want me to marry Third Prince, why are you glad I didn’t choose Fourth Prince?”
