In the General’s Mansion, Old Madam hated the first branch the most. She couldn’t do anything to Shen Xin, but she could do something to Shen Miao. Now that Shen Miao had proven herself otherwise, Old Madam Shen would definitely think of a way to dissuade those who came to talk about marriage.
“My poor girl, she will probably die in the house before she gets married.” Ren Wanyun looked at the closed door of the room. Shen Qing was in the room every day and did not want to see anyone. A trace of resentment flashed across her eyes as she said, “But Master actually wants Qing to marry that kind of person!”
Shen Gui did not know that Shen Qing was pregnant, and Ren Wanyun did not intend to tell him. If he knew that Shen Qing was pregnant, he would definitely force her to abort the child.
However, even so, Shen Gui was afraid that the truth would be exposed, so he urged Ren Wanyun to marry off Shen Qingxun. Therefore, they chose Huang Dexing, the youngest son of the young eunuch.
The Huang family was actually a level higher than the Wei family, and they naturally had endless wealth. However, compared to the Wei family, the master and madam of the Huang family were not easy to deal with, and Huang Dexing was in fact a homosexual.
It was precisely because of this that the Huang family did not set the bar too high when it came to choosing a wife. As long as the wife was gentle and turned a blind eye to Huang Dexing’s licentiousness, they did not care about anything else.
Shen Gui thought that since Shen Qing had already been tainted, she might as well marry into the Huang family. Since Huang Dexing was not interested in women and would not touch Shen Qing, this secret would naturally not be discovered. Shen Qing only needed to enjoy the glory and wealth of being the daughter-in-law of the Huang family.
On the other hand, Ren Wanyun did not agree to this marriage. Even if Shen Qing’s body was already tainted, in Ren Wanyun’s heart, she would still try all she could to find a good marriage for her daughter. Marrying Huang Dexing was like living as a widow for the rest of her life. She would definitely not marry off her daughter like that. Because of this, Shen Gui and Ren Wanyun had been arguing for a long time. The relationship between the husband and wife therefore worsened. Shen Gui rarely went to Rosy Cloud Garden. He had been staying with his concubines day in and day out.
“If only First Miss could marry who Fifth Miss is going to marry,” Cai Ju said angrily.
When Ren Wanyun heard this, her eyebrows twitched and she suddenly looked at Cai Ju. “What did you say?!”
Cai Ju was shocked and stammered, “I said that it would be good if First Miss could marry who Fifth Miss is going to marry.”
“You’re right!” Ren Wanyun stood up immediately, and a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on her face. She said, “That’s right. As long as Qing and that little b*tch change their marriage…” She muttered, “Her marriage should have been my daughter’s in the first place. This time, I’ll let that little b*tch suffer the consequences!” As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something. “Bring my cloak. I’m going to Rongjing Hall.”
“Madam, why are you going to Rongjing Hall?” Cai Ju and Xianglan were a little puzzled. Ren Wanyun smiled sinisterly and said, “Of course, to discuss marriage.”

In the winter, when the sunlight shone on the flowers and plants on the window sill, it seemed to be reflected with a layer of green. However, the sunlight was thin, as if it would be broken if one was not careful. Shen Miao was wearing a beautiful dress with a narrow-shouldered lotus embroidered on it. The dark purple color made her fair skin almost transparent, and her eyes seemed to be as spotless as ink. Even if she stood by the window, a noble aura lingered around her.
