After hearing this, Shen Nanxing nodded and did not take it to heart.
She stretched her neck to look behind them, but didn't see anyone.
She frowned slightly: "Hey, where are the people from the Hu family?"
"Didn't they come here to propose marriage? And they're already gone?"
It would have been fine if she didn't mention it. As soon as she mentioned it, the friendly expression that Old Marquis Shen had put on because he saw his granddaughter suddenly turned cold again.
He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Shen Beiyue, you did it yourself, tell your sister about it yourself!"
Grandfather actually called my brother by his full name?
Shen Nanxing's eyes widened in surprise: "Brother, what did you do to make Grandfather so angry?"
You know, grandpa usually calls them Beiyue and Nanxing affectionately, and only calls them by their full names when he is very angry.
The last time I remember my grandfather calling my brother by his full name was during a royal hunt many years ago. My brother got lost in the woods because he was too playful.
There are large wild animals such as jackals, tigers and leopards in the deep forest. It is very dangerous to get lost in the forest at night.
Everyone searched for him the whole night. My grandfather's eyes were red and he fainted several times out of anxiety. They searched almost the entire forest but couldn't find him... Finally, he came back by himself at dawn.
My grandfather was furious that time. As soon as he got home, he started to punish me according to the family rules. He kept saying:
"Shen Beiyue, do you know you're wrong?"
"Shen Beiyue, will you dare to be so playful next time?"
"Shen Beiyue, does it hurt? If it hurts, then remember this lesson!"
"..."
That day, the entire mansion deeply felt the thundering wrath that the three words "Shen Beiyue" brought.
She wanted to beg for mercy, but her grandfather wouldn't even let her get close. She could only watch helplessly as her brother was beaten by her grandfather until he cried out...
During that hunting trip, it seemed that Shuang'er was also lost, but she was finally found by the guards of the Hu family. It was said that when she was playing hide-and-seek with her little sisters, she accidentally ran away and fell asleep in a big tree hole.
It was almost dawn before we found the person.
Of course, the delicate and soft little girl should not have been beaten.
I heard that Minister Hu and his wife cried for a long time while holding the little girl. The little girl was carried back by Minister Hu that day, and he and his wife didn't even want to let her walk a step...
Thinking about it this way, it seems that my brother and Shuang'er have some fate, as they got lost in the same forest on the same day.
It's just a pity that the two of them didn't meet each other. If they had, maybe they could have developed some childhood friendship...
Shen Nanxing was thinking wildly and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Seeing Shen Ming silent again, she couldn't help but tug at his sleeve, her beautiful black eyes gleaming with curiosity: "Brother, what did you do?"
Shen Ming's expression was also quite grim: "Sister, don't ask about this."
Old Marquis Shen snorted coldly, "Why can't your sister ask? You still know how to embarrass yourself! Do you know how the Miss Hu will accept your actions? What will others say about her?"
Shen Ming also held his breath, and the cheerful expression that had just appeared when he saw his sister turned gloomy. "I didn't agree to marry her in the first place. Who told you to agree to the Hu family's proposal without my permission?"
When he said this, Old Marquis Shen did not like it: "I told Minister Hu a few days ago that after your face is better, I will arrange for you to meet his daughter. He agreed to it in person."
"Who knows why he suddenly showed up with gifts today? He said his daughter doesn't care about a man's appearance, as long as he has good character..."
"Didn't you hear all this?"
After Lord Shen finished explaining, he felt a little wronged, but then he remembered what the brat had said to Minister Hu today, and he immediately became furious. He said confidently, "Aren't you just feeling embarrassed and afraid that the girl won't like you?"
"The girl has already said that she doesn't mind your face. What's the matter? You still don't know what's good for you and despise the girl because she's not pretty?"
Shen Ming felt even more suffocated. "That's not how it sees this matter. I..."
"What do you mean by 'you'?" Old Marquis Shen said angrily, "No matter how you look at it, you swore in front of Minister Hu today that you would never get married in this life, which is wrong!"
"You just agreed to meet the girl from the Hu family, and now the Hu family is proposing marriage, and you're saying you won't get married. Aren't you playing people like a monkey? How can you be like that?"
"The Hu family will only think that you look down on their daughter. They would rather say such nonsense than reject this marriage!"
"The girl from the Hu family is pretty, what's wrong with her? Why do you humiliate her like this? Ah? How can I face Minister Hu in the future? How can I face my colleagues?"
"..."
When Old Lord Shen thought of the colorful expression on Minister Hu's face when he left, he became extremely angry and roared like thunder.
Seeing his grandfather's face flushed with anger and breathing heavily, Shen Ming didn't dare to say a word in reply. He stood there obediently with his head lowered and took the scolding, for fear of angering the old man to death.
Shen Nanxing was confused and listened for a long time before finally figuring out the whole story.
She looked at Shen Ming speechlessly, then coaxed her grandfather back to rest in a gentle manner. After her grandfather calmed down, she returned to find her brother.
Her brother was no longer in the front hall. She searched the house and finally found him by the pond. Her brother was feeding the koi in the pond.
He held a bag of fish food in one hand and threw handfuls of fish food into the pond with the other.
Shen Nanxing quickly walked over and snatched the fish food from his hand: "If you feed them again, all the koi in this pond will die of starvation today."
Shen Ming finally reacted and forced a smile at her: "Sister, you're here."
Shen Nanxing twitched the corner of his mouth: "If you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh. It's so ugly."
Shen Ming didn't say anything.
Shen Nanxing continued, "Tell me, why do you refuse this marriage?"
"Didn't you promise to meet Sister Shuang'er?"
Shen Ming smiled bitterly: "Haven't we seen each other yet?"
He just wanted to take this opportunity to see her and have a good look at her, that would be all. But who knew...
Thousands of thoughts turned into a sigh.
When Shen Nanxing heard this sigh, he thought that he was worried that he and Shuang'er would not get along well and would not be compatible.
Shen Nanxing thought for a moment and said, "Sister Shuang'er is very pretty and has a gentle personality. You'll probably like her!"
"Oh, right, didn't you see her when we were little? She was pretty and lovely when she was little, and now she's even prettier than when she was little."
Shen Ming: “Never seen it.”
Shen Nanxing was anxious: "I've seen her before! She's been at many banquets. She's that sweet little girl who always likes to be alone..."
Shen Ming: "No impression..."
