Phoenix Life (2)

Mrs. Su said, "I heard from Minglang that Mingfeng has a crush on Fifth Miss. At first, I didn't believe it because my son is a blockhead. He's never shown interest in any girls, and I don't know what kind of person Fifth Miss is, so I came today. When I saw Fifth Miss, I finally understood why Mingfeng liked her. She's good-looking, has a good personality, and has a good aura. I guess in the entire Ming Qi, only the Shen family can bring up such an outstanding girl. To be honest, Mrs. Shen, not only Mingfeng, but I also like Fifth Miss very much, so I can't wait to tell you about it. I know that you are a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush."0

These words were spoken with extreme sincerity and filled with praises for Shen Miao. As a mother, how could Luo Xueyan not like her daughter being praised? Luo Xueyan was gradually tempted. However, Shen Miao's marriage was not something that could be decided by her on a whim. Firstly, the Shen family's status in Ming Qi was special now. They had to make sure their in-laws were neither powerful nor weak. Secondly, although Su Mingfeng had a good reputation, he had fallen sick a few years ago and had to quit becoming an official. Luo Xueyan did not want Shen Miao to marry an invalid. Moreover, Luo Xueyan and Su Mingfeng had never met, so she did not know what kind of person he was. Thirdly, and most importantly, Su Mingfeng liked Shen Miao, but she did not know if Shen Miao liked him. Luo Xueyan was an open-minded mother. She wanted Shen Miao to live a happy life and choose a husband she liked. Therefore, she could not make the decision now.

"My daughter's marriage won't be settled anytime soon." Luo Xueyan smiled and said, "On behalf of my husband, I thank Mrs. Su and Young Master Su for thinking so highly of my daughter. However, we have to consider a lot. In such a short time, I can't give you an answer. I'm afraid I'll have to think about it for a few days. Just as you said, we're all mothers.I hope you can understand." Luo Xueyan neither confirmed nor denied.

Mrs. Su was extremely satisfied with this. After saying a few more words, she left.

After Mrs. Su left, Luo Xueyan's gaze darkened, looking a little pensive.

All along, Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin thought that Shen Miao was still young and was not in a hurry to get married. However, when Mrs. Su came to propose arranging a marriage for their children, it reminded Luo Xueyan that at this age, Shen Miao could indeed be engaged.

Luo Xueyan planned to tell Shen Xin about this when he returned and get someone to make a list of the young talents in the capital. It was time to select someone for their daughter.

…

For the first time, Mr. Su did not go fishing today. Instead, he stayed in the house, waiting. When he saw Mrs. Su return, he quickly went forward to massage her shoulders and instructed the maid to serve tea. Mr. Su asked, "How is it? What did Madam Shen say?"

"She neither confirmed nor denied. I think she needs some time to think about it." Mrs. Su said, "After all, the Shen family is not an ordinary family. It's only right for them to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision."

Su Yu pulled a long face. "What's there to think about?"

Mrs. Su found it funny. "Do you think they'll agree just because I went today?"

"Why not?" Su Yu asked, "Can you find another young man like Mingfeng in the capital? Any girl marrying Mingfeng is blessed." As he spoke, he thought of something. "Wait, how is Fifth Miss Shen?"
