Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

As soon as Mu Yejun entered the main hall, he saw his mother and sister whispering to each other, so he took two quick steps forward to greet his mother.

Today, Madam Mu wore a red silk-engraved satin dress with a gold and silver Ruyi cloud pattern, and a white silk coat on the outside. Her hair was tied up in a high bun, which was popular in the palace. The bun was first braided with iron wire and then woven into the hair. The bun was adorned with two pearl flowers, one gold and one silver, inlaid with white gems. The gold and silver threads embroidered on the Ruyi cloud pattern satin dress made her look very dignified and noble like a mistress of a house.

Seeing her favorite son paying his respects, Madam Mu said with a smile: "No need to be polite, please take a seat."

Mu Chuchu also quickly stood up and saluted Mu Yejun. She was a little afraid of this second brother. Among the many nobles in Dongxiang, the second brother's handsome appearance and status could be compared with the prince of Zhongqin Palace.

There were a few times when she and her second brother went out of the mansion, and many noble ladies kept fawning on her, just to marry into the mansion of Duke Yunsheng and become the second brother's wife. But the second brother ridiculed them to their faces: "Huh, you? Don't you think you are worthy of me?" He didn't give those women or her any face at all. Many times, she was embarrassed.

"You and I don't need to be polite, just sit down and answer. I'm going to see the second girl today, how do you feel about it?"

"Mother, I met the second young lady today. She is not as dull and stupid as the rumors say. During the conversation, I even felt that she is an extremely intelligent woman. As for her appearance... although she is not stunningly beautiful, she has a pretty face. Although her figure is not slim, she is not as thick-shouldered and fat-chested as the rumors say."

Madam Mu was somewhat puzzled when she heard the description of her second son. First, the second young lady of the Shen family was completely different from the rumors. Second, her son seemed to like the second young lady very much, and his words were full of satisfaction.

"Huai Bi said so, so...you really like that Miss Shen Er?"

Mu Yejun said with his signature smile, "I can't say I like her yet. But from the perspective of a wife, I think the Second Miss Shen is indeed suitable. Mother, it will soon be autumn and until the end of the year, there will be many banquets in various mansions. I think Madam Shen will bring the Second Miss to the banquet. When the time comes, mother can also take a look at her."

Madam Mu frowned slightly. Do I need to go and meet her in person? I have heard too many rumors about the second young lady, and I am really unhappy about it.

But, at present, it seems that the second son is interested in marrying the second daughter of the Shen family.

Seeing that her mother's questioning of her second brother had come to an end, Mu Chuchu could no longer hold back, and spoke anxiously to Mu Yejun who was sitting opposite her: "Chuchu heard the conversation between mother and brother just now. Is the second brother going to get married?"

Mu Yejun smiled and said in a magnetic voice: "It should be soon."

"The second young lady of the Shen family in the conversation with her mother is...Shen Shenshen?"

"Exactly."

Mu Chuchu's eyes widened immediately, and she asked in surprise: "Second brother, do you know Shen Shen? She is a joke among the noble ladies in the capital. There are so many women who want to be the wife of our second brother from the Duke of Yunsheng's Mansion. You can pick any one of them at random and she will be a million times better than Shen Shen. She, she, she is really not worthy of the second brother."

"Chu Chu." Mu Yejun interrupted, "Has it been a long time since you last saw Miss Shen Er?"

"Well, my sister doesn't remember it for long. We only met her thirty days before the incident at the Marquis' Mansion."

"Oh? Was Second Miss Shen like this at that time?"

"Second brother, she is ugly, with a thick waist, broad shoulders and a round waist. She is very bad at speaking, always keeps her head down, and never talks to us."

"Is that so..." Mu Yejun was suspicious. How could such a drastic change happen to a person after only a few decades?

"Second brother, you are not really going to marry Shen Shen?"

"She is indeed very likely to become your second sister-in-law." Mu Yejun answered in the same gentle voice.

Mu Chuchu almost cried. Such an outstanding second brother really married that idiot? At the same time, she would become a laughing stock in the capital. Also, with such a second sister-in-law, would Prince Zhu think that he was as stupid as her and not willing to marry her?

Madam Mu was really curious now. The Second Miss Shen mentioned by her daughter was the same as the rumors she had heard, but the Second Miss Shen mentioned by her second son after meeting her today was completely different.

"Second brother, Shen Shen has nothing good except for his decent family background, ugly looks, and a slow brain. He is not worthy of you at all."

"Oh?! Since when did my marriage require Chuchu's consent?"

Mu Chuchu shut up immediately. She knew her brother too well. The words spoken in the most gentle way were often the most fatal.

At this time, a maid's voice came from outside the door: "Duke, Prince." Then footsteps were heard coming into the house.

The three people in the room immediately stood up and looked towards the door. They saw two figures, one old and one young, entering the main hall from the door. They were Lord Yunsheng and his eldest son.

Duke Mu Sheng of Mu Yun, nearly forty years old, still had a handsome face and an upright figure, but his temples were slightly gray, and he looked a little worried. At this time, he walked into the main hall at a leisurely pace.

The young man following behind him was Mu Wenjing, who had been named the Heir of the Duke's Mansion.

His handsome face often looked serious and unsmiling, which made him look a bit cold and indifferent. He was not as popular with the elders as the second son. Also, because Mu Wenjing looked like his father and Mu Yejun looked like his mother, Mrs. Mu naturally favored the second son. Mu Wenjing had the pride of being the first son, and he often said sweet words to his younger brother to please his parents.

Except for Mr. Mu Yun who walked straight to the main seat and sat down, everyone else in the room greeted each other and took their seats in turn.

After watching the maid quickly serve the tea and leave, Duke Mu Sheng of Yunsheng spoke with some dignity: "I heard that Huaibi went to a teahouse today to meet the second daughter of the Marquis of Anbo Mansion?"

Mu Yejun stood up with his signature gentle smile and replied respectfully: "Father, that's right. I was just discussing this with mother."

"how?"

"Father, I think the second Miss Shen from the Marquis's Mansion is very good."

Duke Mu was a little surprised: "Huai Bi is willing to marry the second daughter of the Shen family?"

Madam Mu, Mu Wenjing and Mu Chuchu on the side all looked at Mu Yejun.

"I am willing."

If Shen Shen was at the scene at this time, he would be furious: "I said, Mu Haiwang, why didn't you say what we agreed on? I really fell into your trap."

The stern face of Duke Yunsheng Mu Sheng softened a little, "Very good. Huaibi, you should also change your temper and cut off those confidantes. Marry a virtuous wife, not just a stunning beauty. At that time, Shen Qingming came to ask me if you had an engagement, and I thought that our two families were suitable for marriage, which would be a great help to the court in the future. But Miss Shen's reputation in the capital is not good. If she is stupid, it would be a joke to marry her into the Duke's Mansion. I didn't expect Huaibi to be very satisfied. I will go to propose marriage to Lord Anbo Shen tomorrow."

"Wait a minute, Duke." Madam Mu objected at this time.
