866 Farewell (1)
“I’m here to marry you, Shen Jiaojiao.”
His tone was casual, but the way he stretched out his hand from the horse was extremely serious. He was so confident and arrogant that he treated etiquette as nothing, but it made people feel as if everything in the world had fallen silent. Only this man’s appearance was deeply engraved in people’s hearts and was unforgettable.
The crowd fell silent.
Shen Miao’s face was covered by a veil and she could not see anything. She could only hear the voice. She instinctively looked up, but the next moment, she felt her hand being lifted and something being put on her fingertip.
She was a little confused by the cold and gentle touch.
The people around gasped.
All the princes had their own thumb rings. The thumb ring was not just a decoration, but also a symbol of status. With this thumb ring, they could be easily recognized. Of course, everyone knew the princes, so they did not have to use this thumb ring. However, the people had never seen any princes give a thumb ring that symbolized their status as a prince to others.
What Prince Rui gave away was not just a thumb ring. It was also the power to mobilize his subordinates at will. With this ring, everyone had to treat Shen Miao as if she was Prince Rui.
He was giving his power to a woman.
The young ladies around were extremely envious. Although Prince Rui was wearing a mask, he was infinitely charming. His status was noble to begin with, and he was generous. The only thing they could say to themselves to feel better was that Prince Rui was so outstanding, so he naturally had many women around him. Shen Miao was not drop-dead gorgeous, so she would definitely be abandoned by Prince Rui soon.
Unexpectedly, the groom slapped them in the face with the truth. This was probably the first time they had seen someone dote on his wife so much.
Why did Fifth Miss Shen have such a good life?
However, no one knew what Shen Miao experienced in her previous life.
After Prince Rui put the ring on Shen Miao’s finger, he smiled and leaned over slightly, planting a kiss on the back of Shen Miao’s hand.
Shen Miao naturally knew what the wet feeling on the back of her hand was. She couldn’t help but blush. Fortunately, the veil was covering her face, so others couldn’t see it.
Prince Rui stood up, and Miss Mei quickly smiled and sang, “Take betrothal gifts in and carry the dowry.”
After carrying the dowry, as a mother, Luo Xueyan had to personally feed the bride dumplings.
The dumpling was small, and it was stuffed with peanuts, lotus seeds, and sesame seeds. Luo Xueyan scooped it up with a small spoon. Shen Miao lifted a corner of the veil slightly and swallowed the dumpling fed by Luo Xueyan. Luo Xueyan’s eyes were a little moist. “Jiaojiao, after you get married, take care of yourself.”
Shen Miao also felt choked with emotions. “I understand, Mother.”
Shen Xin turned around and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. As a man and a general who had led countless soldiers, it was naturally inappropriate for him to cry in front of others. However, he was very sad. Shen Xin always felt that he owed Shen Miao a lot, especially after the conversation he had with Xie Jingxing that day. He had always thought that they had raised Shen Miao in a greenhouse, but he did not know that there were more snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the greenhouse. During the years she was alone, she gradually grew up.
Before he could make it up to Shen Miao, Shen Miao was about to get married. From a baby to a little girl, to a slender and beautiful bride, Shen Xin sighed with emotion.
Shen Qiu walked over. The brothers of the bride were responsible for carrying the bride onto the sedan chair.
