Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Shen Shen took a piece of cake from the maid and put it into her mouth. While chewing, she said incoherently: "The prince is not in the palace. Princess... Zhixi didn't let me go to greet her, so my daughter didn't think much about it and didn't go to pay her respects to the princess."

Madam Shen looked at her second daughter and said, "Shen'er, don't talk while you are paying attention." Then she frowned slightly and said, "When you go to visit the palace, as a junior, you must greet the elders in the palace. Today, the Marquis's Mansion is too rude." After that, she sighed slightly, as if she was used to her second daughter's style, and said to Ban Xing, "Go and personally deliver the embroidery of golden branches and jade leaves that Concubine Chen gave to the princess last year. Just say that the second girl had a brain injury thirty years ago and has just recovered. Please forgive me for the impoliteness. Go now."

Ban Xing bowed and left, then hurriedly prepared to leave the house.

Shen Shen was stunned, and said to Madam Shen apologetically, "My daughter didn't think too much about it. I'm sorry for causing trouble to mother."

"That's okay. Being a parent means protecting your children from wind and rain. I am worthy of the title of 'mother'." She looked at her second daughter, who had changed so much, with loving eyes, feeling extremely satisfied.

"Thank you, mother." Shen Shenshen was deeply touched: this is a really nice family.

Madam Shen looked around the room. Besides her second daughter, there was her personal maid waiting beside her. It was a good time to discuss important matters. So she called out, "Lianhe." Lianhe walked from Madam Shen's side to the middle of the hall and bowed. "You go and guard the door. Except for the Marquis, the rest of the people, including the young ladies and the young masters, are not allowed to enter the house without my order. Wait at the door."

"Yes." Lian He bowed and went out as instructed.

Shen Shenshen looked at his mother in confusion, feeling a little uneasy: He wondered what important matter his mother had that even his elder sister and Xi'en couldn't listen to.

After sending everyone in the room away, Mrs. Shen calmed herself down and spoke.

"Shen'er, you are already eighteen years old this year. Your grandmother is urging you to get married. She even called your father over a few days ago to discuss your marriage."

Oh, so you are talking about my marriage, that's fine, I thought the vest fell off again. At this moment, Shen Shenshen suddenly felt relieved.

Seeing that his daughter was listening obediently, he said, "Originally, your father and I agreed to take our time to choose. Our Marquis' Mansion is so prestigious in the capital that there is no shortage of people seeking marriage. We only considered whether you are suitable for him. But a few days ago, your grandmother mentioned a suitable husband's family to your father. These past two days, your mother sent someone to inquire about it. The chosen husband is indeed a good person with a good appearance. His family is well matched with the Marquis' Mansion. I heard that there are many daughters of noble families who are interested in marrying him. As for why you haven't been engaged yet, I'd like to ask your father if he knows."

Shen Shenshen cried inwardly: Am I doomed to have a romantic relationship today? Xiao Zhu proposed to me in the morning, and my mother urged me to get married in the afternoon. I am only a sophomore in high school at 18 years old, right? It is a good time to study. I don't want to get married. I just want to play games, chase stars and lie down.

"Mother, you just said that my husband is very handsome? Hmm... How does he compare to Brother Ziyuan?"

Madam Shen glanced at her helplessly: "You are definitely not as handsome as Ziyuan. Ziyuan must be the most handsome among the younger generation in Dongxiang."

"My daughter disagrees. Our Xien is also the most handsome."

"Yes, Xi'en is also good-looking, but he is still young." Speaking of her son, Mrs. Shen's face was full of joy. At the same time, she felt that her second daughter was becoming more sensible and now was very protective of her family. "Shen'er, although mother doesn't like grandmother interfering in my children's marriages, I am also very satisfied with this husband. However, after all, it is your lifelong event, so I still have to ask for your opinion."

"I haven't even met the other party yet. Isn't it a bit ridiculous to get engaged just based on a few words from grandma and a few inquiries from you? I think we should at least meet once."

"As a girl in the boudoir, you cannot see a man outside of your home."

"Oh, mother~" Shen Shen immediately stood up, walked forward, stretched out her hand to hold Mrs. Shen's arm, and shook it coquettishly, "This is my daughter's lifelong event. Can't see a stranger? My daughter has met Brother Ziyuan many times, and you still want my daughter to marry him. Please help my daughter think of a way to meet him."

Mrs. Shen was moved by her daughter's move, and then she thought that it was indeed a life-long event for her daughter. If her daughter's life was ruined by secular etiquette, she, as a mother, would blame herself and be unable to sleep or eat. Rather than regretting it later, it is better to prepare for it in advance.

Thinking of this, she gently slapped Shen Shenshen's hand away and said, "You are breaking the rules again. How about this, if you go out of the house these few days, mother will let him go with you, and the two of you can treat it as an accidental encounter and see each other, okay?"

Huh? Shen Shenshen immediately became alert: I have an appointment with Xiao Zhu to meet at Ting'an Tea House the day after tomorrow, and Zhixi's invitation will arrive tomorrow, so I will definitely leave the house. But my mother doesn't know that I am actually meeting Ziyuan. If the blind date guy also goes, won't I be having a blind date in front of Ziyuan? If I reject his proposal here, and then go on a blind date there? I will be retaliated by Ziyuan. No, I don't want to be socially dead, and I can't offend Ziyuan, the financial sponsor.

"Um, mother, this is not good." Shen Shenshen forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "This is like meeting a stranger alone. If there happens to be no one else around, your daughter really won't be able to explain it."

"Why are you dissatisfied again, kid? Mother thinks it's great. It's just an encounter between two younger generations. If you don't like Shen'er, or that person doesn't like you, it won't involve the elders of both sides, which will avoid a lot of embarrassment. As for what you said, it won't happen to you alone. Make sure that day, mother will tell Luhen to follow you all the time."

"No, mother, it's really not appropriate. How about we meet at our house? Or, we go to their house?"

"Family?"

"Make an appointment with our Marquis' Mansion, or make an appointment with the other party... Um... Mother, I forgot to ask, which family is the young master from?"

"The second son of Lord Yun."

"Lord Yun?" Shen Shen felt that this family sounded very familiar.

Seeing her bewildered look, Madam Shen said helplessly, "Yun Shenggong Mu's family."

Mu family... What? Mu family??? Shen Shenshen suddenly realized. I @￥%...&*.

"No way, then Mu Chuchu is..."

"Mu Chuchu is Mu Yejun's biological sister."

Shen Shenshen sat down on the chair behind him in a daze.

What's going on? My future husband may be the legitimate son of Lord Yunsheng, and I have to help my sponsor deal with Lord Yunsheng's Zhaixing Tower. The day after tomorrow I will meet my sponsor, and my blind date, who is the enemy of my sponsor, will go with me. The ending that awaits me is: my vest falls off, my sponsor fails, and my rich husband runs away.

My life is fucking wonderful.
