700 Phoenix Life (3)
Mr. Su had seen Shen Miao at the palace banquet and felt that Shen Miao was not bad, but her personality was a little too domineering. However, men’s judgment on a woman wasn’t as accurate as women’s judgment on a woman. That was why Mrs. Su went to check out her “daughter-in-law” with critical eyes. Su Yu wanted to hear what Mrs. Su thought of Shen Miao.
Mrs. Su took a sip of tea and said, “Mingfeng has good taste. I think Fifth Miss Shen is much better than most of the young ladies in the capital. There’s no need to mention her appearance. Since she’s a girl raised by Shen Xin, she must have a good character. Her temperament is rare, like she’s a noble from the palace. However, there’s one thing I’m afraid of, which is that Mingfeng won’t be able to tame such a girl. However, it’s not all that bad. Mingfeng has a gentle personality. They’ll be compatible.”
It was rare for Su Yu to hear Mrs. Su praise someone like that. He wondered if his wife was exaggerating it.
Su Mingfeng returned from outside. Just as he was about to step into the main hall, the corner of his shirt was grabbed. He turned around and saw Su Minglang.
Su Minglang looked at him seriously. “Brother, don’t go in and cause trouble now, or you’ll ruin your marriage.”
“My marriage?” Su Mingfeng was puzzled. “What about my marriage?”
“I heard that Mother went to see your future wife today,” Su Minglang said.
Su Mingfeng was shocked and asked, “What do you mean? Who is my future wife?”
Su Minglang said, “Of course it’s Sister Shen.”
“Mother went to the Shen family?” Su Mingfeng raised his voice.
Su Minglang patted Su Mingfeng’s arm. “I’m really envious of you.”
…
Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan discussed for a while and really started to look for young talents for Shen Miao in the capital. They were even considering whether they should let Shen Miao attend some social banquets. Shen Xin even asked Shen Qiu to pay attention to see if there were young talents among his peers.
With such a commotion happening in the Shen family, it was impossible for Prince Rui not to be informed of it.
As soon as Xie Jingxing returned home, Ji Yushu ran over with a letter in his hand and shouted, “Third Brother, the Su family has gone to propose marriage! What are you waiting for?” After a pause, he continued, “Go and teach Su Mingfeng a lesson!”
Gao Yang also looked worried and said, “Mrs. Su is on good terms with many madams. The Su family has a good reputation. If Shen Xin thinks that Su Mingfeng is not bad, he might agree to this marriage arrangement.”
Xie Jingxing felt a headache coming on. He didn’t need to read the letter to know what it was about.
Su Mingfeng was quite a careful person and would not do anything too rash. However, his parents weren’t the same. Now that they went to propose marriage for their son, they might do something more shocking later on.
Moreover, Ji Yushu was still fanning the flames at the side. He said angrily, “Su Mingfeng is really scheming. When he was with Third Brother, he called you brothers and you’ve been friends for so many years. Ever since you changed your identity, he revealed his true colors. People say that time will tell. So Su Mingfeng is actually such a person. Third Brother, cut ties with him.”
