“I didn’t say there is sothing between you two.” Shen Miao smiled and said, “There is nothing wrong with a handso man pursuing a beautiful lady. Cousin, you are born beautiful, so it’s natural for you to be liked by Young Master Sun. Young Master Sun is a good person. He’s good-looking and cos from a rich family. If anyone can be his wife, they will be the madam of the entire Minister’s Mansion. After all, Lord Sun only has this one son.”
Jing Chuchu pursed her lips and did not speak. Shen Miao stood up and said with a smile, “I just ca over to chat with you to kill ti. Cousin, don’t take what I said to heart. Everything in this world depends on fate. If you are really fated, no one can separate you. At that ti, you will be able to stay in the capital for the rest of your life.” After saying that, Shen Miao turned around and walked out.
Jing Chuchu sat alone in the room. She subconsciously took out the smooth jade bracelet from the box and reached out to touch the patterns on it. She did not expect Sun Cainan to be the son of the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs. As for why he did not tell her his identity, it was probably because he did not want her to like him because of his family background. Didn’t this an that Sun Cainan sincerely liked her? Otherwise, why would he give her a bracelet worth a thousand taels the first ti they t?
In all fairness, Jing Chuchu ca from a small family. Although there were many landlords in Suzhou, they were nothing compared to Sun Cainan. She had seen the prosperity of the capital and was even more unwilling to return to Suzhou. Shen Miao’s last sentence made her heart unable to stop racing. If she married Sun Cainan, she could stay in the capital for the rest of her life, which was exactly what she wanted.
But… What about what she promised to Old Madam Shen?
Outside, just as Shen Miao stepped out of the courtyard, she t Jing Guansheng. When Jing Guansheng saw her, his eyes lit up and he smiled. “Cousin, are you here to see Chuchu?”
Shen Miao nodded.
“You are getting closer and closer to Chuchu lately.” Jing Guansheng wanted to go forward, but Jingzhe and Gu Yu stood in front of Shen Miao vigilantly. Jing Guansheng prided himself on being a refined person, so he didn’t approach her.
Shen Miao smiled and walked out of the courtyard without looking at Jing Guansheng.
Gu Yu asked in a low voice, “Miss, do you want to be a matchmaker for Miss Jing and Young Master Sun?” Just now, Shen Miao was talking about how good Sun Cainan was, which sounded especially strange to the two maids. They didn’t understand why Shen Miao suddenly wanted to be the matchmaker.
“When have you ever seen being so kind?” Shen Miao said expressionlessly.
“Then why…” Gu Yu was even more puzzled.
“I want to make her anxious.” Shen Miao smiled faintly. “Old Madam and Jing Chuchu used to have the sa goal, so the two of them are naturally close. But if they don’t have the sa goal, what do you think will happen?”
Jingzhe was quick-witted. “Dogfight!” Then, she reacted and said in a panic, “I didn’t an they were dogs. I’m sorry…”
“No, you are exactly right.” Shen Miao said, “Dogfight is a good choice of word. Now, for the next few days, go and build a good relationship with Fu’er from Rongjing Hall.”
“Why Fu’er?” Jingzhewas stunned.
“Old Madam wants her to marry the blind son of the butler,” Shen Miao said. “Fu’er is struggling.”
“Oh my god.” Jingzhe was stunned. “Fu’er has been by Old Madam’s side since she was young. How…” How could Old Madam Shen marry a girl who was at the pri of her life to a one-eyed man? Fu’er was smart and hard-working, and most of all, she was very loyal to Old Madam Shen.
“Old Madam Shen receives a share of the profits from the butler every year, so she naturally has to express her gratitude. She doesn’t want to give out a penny, so she has to give out soone. Being born pretty is both a good and a bad thing for Fu’er.”
