Venomous Empress Reborn - Chapter 777

777 Kill (2)

Only then did the two of them get in the carriage.

In the carriage, Luo Tan said, “Little Cousin, what exactly is on your mind?”

Shen Miao turned to look at her in confusion. “What do you mean?”

“Your marriage.” Luo Tan looked like she was very worried about her. “Even if the crown prince has given up on marrying you, you will one day get married to someone. I heard from Aunt that you have to be engaged this year. Otherwise, with your good background, it’s inevitable that someone else will want to use you.”

!!
Shen Miao did not say anything. The status of the Shen family in Ming Qi was indeed very delicate. If it was used well, it would be a sharp sword. However, one thing was certain. The royal family of Ming Qi was afraid of the Shen family. What they wanted was the soldiers in Shen Xin’s hands. As for the person who led the soldiers… It was dispensable.

Therefore, as the only daughter of the Shen family, her marriage meant a lot. Sometimes, she had no choice and could not decide for herself.

Involuntarily, what Xie Jingxing said to her that day appeared in Shen Miao’s mind.

“Once this matter is settled, I’ll marry you, Shen Jiaojiao.”

He seemed to be making a promise. Most importantly, when the words came out of his mouth, they sounded irrefutable, as if he would definitely do what he said.

However, how was that possible? One was the daughter of the general of Ming Qi, and the other was Prince Rui of the Daliang Dynasty. The Daliang Dynasty was powerful. Even a princess of Ming Qi would be out of her league for Prince Rui, let alone Shen Miao. Moreover, if she really married Prince Rui, how would the Shen family survive? It was really a difficult thing.

Shen Miao thought with a dark gaze. She was nudged by Luo Tan. She came back to her senses and heard Luo Tan say, “What are you thinking so much about? You didn’t even answer my question.”

Shen Miao asked, “What did you ask me?”

Luo Tan looked at her helplessly. After a while, she said, “I was asking you among the people who proposed marriage, who do you like the most?”

Shen Miao was stunned. Luo Tan had already started counting with her fingers. “Cousin Ling is gentle and considerate, and we know everything about him. Su Mingfeng is deeply in love with you, and Mrs. Su likes you very much. Feng Zixian looks like he’s well-educated. With Feng Anning protecting you, you’ll have a good time after entering the Feng family. These three people are considered outstanding young talents.” Luo Tan leaned closer to Shen Miao and carefully observed her expression. “Don’t you like any of them?”

Shen Miao laughed. “No.”

Luo Tan sat up straight and persuaded patiently, “Cousin, you’re wrong. Although it’s good to pursue perfection in everything, it’s not good to set the bar too high. In my opinion, these three are already the top men in the capital. If they were in Spring City, I’m afraid the girls would fight to become their concubines. However, all three of them agree not to take in concubines after marrying you.”

She looked at Shen Miao for a while before shaking her head and sighing. “But on second thought, it makes sense. You don’t seem to be interested in these three people. I read in the novel that girls who are in love will blush and their hearts will beat fast when they see the person they like. The person who can stir your heart probably hasn’t been born yet, right?”

When Shen Miao heard Luo Tan’s nonsense, she found it funny and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Why do you care so much about my marriage? Are you sick?”

“Speaking of that.” Luo Tan held her throat. “My throat has been especially dry for the past few days. I’m afraid I will catch a cold after going out today. I have been meaning to look for Doctor Gao to take a look at me, but I haven’t seen him for the past few days.” Luo Tan was a little unhappy. “He’s really a doctor with no medical ethics!”
