Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Mrs. Shen looked at her daughter's dumbfounded expression and felt strange. She asked, "Shen'er, do you know Mu Yejun? Or, do you know Mu Chuchu?"

"That's not the case." Her smile was forced and ugly: "It's just that the Duke Yunsheng's Mansion is too famous, and I guess the young master looks down on me. Haha, haha, haha." Then she let out a series of awkward laughs.

"Shen'er, you used to have an overly inferior self-esteem."

Madam Shen raised her head confidently, "Our Anbohou Mansion is a noble family in the capital and even in Dongxiang, on par with the Zhongqin Prince Mansion, Yunsheng Duke Mansion, Jingguo Duke Mansion, Dingqin Earl Mansion, Xie Shaoshi Mansion, Cao Prime Minister Mansion and the three Shangshu Mansions. It is worthy of being engaged to Yunsheng Duke Mansion. However, if Mu Yejun of the Duke Mansion only looks at the appearance of a girl and refuses this marriage because Shen'er is not a beauty that can overwhelm the country, then my mother thinks that it is better not to get married to such a superficial person."

All mothers in the world think their children are the best. Shen Shenshen's parents in her previous life were proud of her, and so were her parents in this life. Even though she was fat, ugly, and did not conform to the current aesthetic standards, her family still loved her.

I am a child who is close to my parents. She was very emotional.

Mrs. Shen changed the subject: "But, speaking of which, Shen'er, you have lost a lot of weight recently, and you look much better now."

The beautiful woman looked at her daughter with a suspicious look on her face, her expression was both worried and happy, and her expression was very conflicted.

"Mother, that's not the case. I am deliberately losing weight... No, I am deliberately eating less. We are going to discuss marriage soon, and my elder sister is a famous talent and beauty in the capital. I can't hold the Marquis's house back and not even know who gave birth to the child."

Well, no one can resist a good dose of flattery.

As expected, Mrs. Shen smiled as soon as she heard it, and said angrily, "Girls, don't be so slick."

"I think what the second young lady said is right, but she doesn't even look at whose child the daughter belongs to."

Upon hearing the Marquis' voice, Madam Shen and Shen Shen hurriedly stood up and saluted. Madam Shen hurriedly said, "The servants are getting older and younger and don't know the rules. They didn't inform the Marquis when he came back." After saying that, she glared at Lian He.

Marquis Shen Qingming said with a smile: "Don't blame me, Madam. I asked Lianhe not to pass it on. I just wanted to hear what Madam and Shen'er were talking about in private. I even asked Zi'er and Xi'en to wait outside."

Shen Shenshen noticed that his father was in a particularly good mood today. He rolled his eyes and walked forward to hold Shen Qingming's arm affectionately: "Father, father, please make the decision for Shen'er."

"What does the second young lady want to do for your father?" It was the first time that the second daughter, who was the most introverted in the mansion, held his arm so intimately. Even Lord Shen, an old fox who had been in the officialdom for a long time, felt a little happy and patted her head lovingly.

"Please listen to my daughter's grievances first. By the way, can you let my elder sister and Xi'en come in and listen to my daughter's grievances together?" After saying that, she let go of her father's arm and stuck out her tongue at Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen was both angry and amused. She had no choice but to say, "Lianhe, let the siblings in." Lianhe hurried to invite them in. "If I had known that you were so open about your marriage, I wouldn't have stopped them from entering. Look, now I'm in a difficult position."

After saying that, she walked over to the Marquis who had just sat down and sat down at the main seat in the main hall. The other maids quickly served tea and snacks to the two Marquis's masters.

In just a dozen breaths, Shen Caizi and Shen Chenxiang came in one after another. Since they had already paid their respects to the Marquis outside the house, Shen Qingming waved his hand and asked them to sit down.

"God, go on. What do you want your father to do for you? Sit down and answer."

Shen Caizi and Shen Chenxiang looked at their second sister at the same time, their eyes full of inquiry.

Although her father asked her to sit down, Shen Shen still stood up politely and said, "Father, mother said that grandmother told you that Mu Yejun, the second son of the Shengguo Mansion, is more suitable for marriage with our Marquis Mansion. She just asked if your daughter is willing. This is a lifelong event and cannot be taken lightly. Your daughter asked your mother that she wanted to see him first. Your mother disagreed at first, saying that a girl in the boudoir should not meet a man outside the family alone."

"It was your grandmother who told me about the second son of the Holy Duke. After I got to know him, I felt that this child was indeed good. And what your mother said was also true." Shen Qingming nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. He felt that his wife was indeed very considerate in etiquette and taught her daughter well.

"Oh, father, doesn't my daughter often see brother Ziyuan? He is also a stranger. Moreover, this is related to my daughter's lifelong happiness. Mother can't persuade my daughter, so she suggests that if my daughter goes out one day, let Mu Yejun go out as well and pretend to meet my daughter by chance. They can see each other. If they feel it is inappropriate after meeting, it is the younger generation who is making trouble. It will not affect the continued exchanges between the two families in the future."

Shen Qingming pondered for a moment and nodded: "Madam, this method is very good."

"No, father, this method won't work. What if my daughter happens to be alone and meets Mu Yejun alone? She won't be able to explain herself."

"Second sister, aren't you making things difficult for mother? It was you who asked to see Mu, and it was you who said that we can't see other men." Shen Chenxiang couldn't help but interrupt.

"Xi'en, don't interrupt. Let father talk to your second sister." Madam Shen reminded her legitimate son and continued, "I have thought about this issue, but since they are deliberately meeting each other, let Lu Hen follow closely. I will also remind Mu Yejun not to meet Shen'er alone. Someone must follow."

Shen Chenxiang gave his mother a silly smile, meaning: I know I was wrong.

Shen Qingming was also a little confused about his second daughter's thoughts, so he asked, "I think this is the best idea for you to find your future husband. Or, Shen'er, do you have a better idea?"

"My...daughter...way...way..."

No, my daughter hasn’t figured out a solution yet, Dad.

"Father, I am embarrassed for my daughter to go out with a stranger. Can't she meet him at our mansion?"

"Shen'er." Shen Qingming explained with a pleasant face, "If we meet at the mansion, it's because we have already approved of this marriage. So we invited the Shengguo Mansion to come to our house. We can exchange the engagement letter after setting a date. If you are not satisfied with the second son of the legitimate wife, you cannot cancel the engagement. Otherwise, in the court, the censors will impeach your father for going back on his word and not managing the family properly."

Shen Shen opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment. It was better in the previous life, when my parents arranged for me to meet them once, and I knew who was who after one meeting. In this life, the court was so complicated, and the heads of these wealthy families were really cunning.

After a pause, she suddenly said, "Dad, you have worked so hard."
