"But, Miss, are we really going to stay here forever?"
Chuntao was quite anxious for her young mistress, "I don’t mind; it’s quite free and easy here. But what about you, Miss? How will you handle your future marriage if you stay here forever?"
"Silly girl, I have a marriage agreent!"
Sheng Xueyi was always convinced that Mu Lin was her destined partner.
In her previous life, she missed the chance with that elegant young man once, but this ti, she would not let it slip by.
Even if her fickle father wanted to annul the engagent, she would ensure the marriage went ahead.
In her past life, Mu Lin was a talented scholar and warrior, and in this life, he would remain unchanged.
"But hasn’t there been trouble with the bridegroom’s family?"
"Master and Madam surely won’t agree to this marriage!"
Chuntao had ntioned this marriage to Sheng Xueyi before and knew that Sheng Lu and Su Fu did not consent to it.
"They disagree, but I don’t!"
Sheng Xueyi snorted, "Whatever happens, I’ve decided on this marriage."
"Miss, but the Marquis Mansion has been exiled by His Majesty!"
"We don’t even know where the bridegroom is right now."
Chuntao felt her young mistress’s ideas were sowhat misguided. Marriage was a matter of parental decisions and matchmaking, emphasizing the balance of social status.
Now, with the fall of the Marquis Mansion, their marriage was dood to fail.
"It’s okay, we can send soone to find him; with money, we’ll certainly find him!"
Sheng Xueyi always rembered Mu Lin from her past life, and in her view, only such a heroic youth was worthy to be her husband.
The elegance beyond compare of a young master!
"Miss, I think you should actually listen to what Master and Madam have to say!"
Chuntao cautiously spoke up, "The Marquis Mansion has already fallen, and with such charges, His Majesty will surely not allow the bridegroom to rise in status. If you follow him then, you won’t lead a good life."
The charge against Marquis Wugong was collusion with the Great Yin, treason.
With charges like these, forget about Mu Lin ever rising, as the entire Mu Family will never have a day in the sun.
"Miss, even if you don’t consider yourself, you need to think about your future children!"
Despite her young age, Chuntao knew more than enough, even considering the future implications.
As Sheng Xueyi’s close maid, she would inevitably beco a concubine to the future bridegroom. If she were lucky enough to bear a child, then her children would be dood to suffer as the descendants of criminals.
At this mont, Chuntao was thinking far ahead.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t aware of her young mistress’s unique background, which ant that even if she married along with Sheng Xueyi, there would be no connection between her and the miss’s husband.
"...?!"
Sheng Xueyi was stunned by Chuntao’s words, gazing at her in disbelief. She truly hadn’t considered so much, nor thought so far ahead.
"Chuntao, thank you!"
Sheng Xueyi looked at Chuntao with a serious expression, "You’re right, I do need to think further ahead!"
"Miss, I was just talking casually, please don’t thank !"
"If I said sothing wrong, please don’t bla !"
Seeing her young mistress acting so earnestly, Chuntao felt a little uneasy.
She said these things out of consideration for her own future.
But clearly, her young mistress had misunderstood.
