Transmigrating into the book: The daughter of the Shen family is too arrogant

Chapter 96 Xu Family

Having walked through this bamboo forest twice, she deliberately took note of it, so naturally she had some understanding of the formation here.

Unfortunately, today is most likely her last time here.

Nan Rongyan likes quietness and doesn't like to be disturbed. Now that he knows his whereabouts have been discovered, he will definitely not stay here and wait for Shen Qingyu to break in again.

Shen Qingyu's fingertips fell on her lips, and there was a hint of heat on her face.

I actually thought that one day I would do something like this.

Her mind suddenly reappeared her bold behavior just now. She hugged him and kissed him.

If those young ladies from noble families in Jinling Prefecture who were infatuated with Young Master Nanrong knew that she, Shen Qingyu, had offended the husband they dreamed of most, who knows if they would go crazy and want to cut her into pieces.

Shen Qingyu smiled unconsciously. Although his lips were cold, they were very soft, tempting her to want more. But she also knew that those things were not what she, Shen Qingyu, could hope for. It was enough to stop. If she wanted too much, she would be greedy.

When it comes to taking advantage of others, if you put your sincerity at stake and expect too much, you will be the only one who gets hurt in the end.

Doing something that went against the world like that was impulsive, but it had nothing to do with love. When she saw that person, she just did what she wanted.

"Second miss."

Xiangyun followed behind Shen Qingyu, looking embarrassed and hesitant. She hesitated several times and finally made up her mind to speak, "I feel that what happened today is still inappropriate..."

After all, Shen Qingyu is the eldest daughter of the Shen family in Jinling Prefecture, and she is still an unmarried girl. If her shocking behavior today were to be spread, she would definitely be criticized and despised by the world.

Although Xiangyun agreed with Master Nanrong becoming the brother-in-law of her second daughter, she could not accept that her second daughter would ruin her reputation before getting married. Of course, she was more worried about Shen Qingyu, fearing that if Master Nanrong did not marry her second daughter in the future, she would never be able to get married in her life.

Shen Qingyu stopped walking. Xiangyun looked at her from behind, feeling a little flustered. Then she heard Shen Qingyu say, "Xiangyun, do you look down on me now? Do you think I am a person who does whatever it takes and is willing to be despicable?"

Xiangyun was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground, "I have no such intention!"

Shen Qingyu walked forward, with no emotion on her face.

She wouldn't care about these words. She had used this kind of thing to fulfill many of her wishes.

So now, she can do the same.

"Xiangyun, I don't blame you. You don't have to be afraid. I know you are saying these things for my own good," Shen Qingyu noticed that Xiangyun had caught up with him again, and said calmly, "I wanted to tell you later so that you wouldn't be frightened, but now, it seems there is no need to hide it. You may not know that when the old man was alive, he promised to marry the daughter of the Shen family to the Xu family in Linzhou and to form a family with the Xu family."

Xu family?

Xiangyun was full of doubts, "Why have I never heard anyone mention this?"

"Of course they won't bring it up. The Xu family is now in decline and penniless. It is no longer as prosperous as it was when Old Master Xu was alive. My father would never take people from such a poor family seriously."

Shen Chuanhe loves money as if it were his own life, and even values ​​money more than his own life. Shen Chuanhe, who despises the poor and loves the rich, would simply ignore those people from the Xu family.

"Then... this marriage..."

Since the Xu family is already penniless, I am sure that even if a bride comes to the door, the master will not agree to marry a young lady from the mansion to them. Even if she is a concubine, he will definitely not agree.

Shen Qingyu sneered, "When the two families got married, they exchanged tokens, and there was a matchmaker as guarantor and the elders as witnesses. I'm afraid they can't deny it."

Shen Chuanhe is a man who cares about his reputation. He would never break off the engagement. He cannot let the evidence of such a thing fall into the hands of others and let those people stab him in the back.

Besides, although Xu Mingsheng is now poor and only has a few acres of thin land in his hands, he is a scholar with honors and will definitely embark on a career in politics in the future. No matter how rich and powerful the Shen family is, they are just merchants. In this world, merchants are always inferior to others. Although the heads of the Shen family in recent generations have honors and merits, everyone knows that they were bought with money. Compared with those serious scholarly families and century-old families, they naturally lack confidence.

In addition, Shen Chuanhe was also worried that Xu Mingsheng would pass the imperial examination and become an official one day. If that happened, he would offend people, and that would be a loss.

After hearing what Shen Qingyu said, Xiangyun almost cried, "Second Miss, do you mean that the master will marry you to the young master of the Xu family?"

The master's favorite person is the eldest daughter. He had already chosen Master Nanrong as his future husband very early on, so naturally he would not let the eldest daughter go to the Xu family in Linzhou to suffer. By next year, there will be another daughter waiting to be married in the mansion, including the second daughter. The third daughter is too young, so naturally she will not be considered. In the end, the choice for this marriage can only be between the eldest daughter and the second daughter.

No wonder the second young lady had to resort to such a desperate measure and take a risky move. She did such a thing. I'm afraid that when the Xu family comes knocking on the door next year, if the second young lady's marriage has not been settled yet, she will have to get married even if she doesn't want to.

"Yes, then I will be the only one left. Even though I am being supported by my father and mother in the mansion now, I am not Shen Xitong. I don't have her face, and I am not the famous and talented woman in Jinling Mansion. If one of the daughters in the mansion is to be sent to the Xu family, that person must be me."

It has only been a short time since she came to the Shen family. Even if she tried every possible way to turn the situation around, it is completely impossible for her to completely replace Shen Xitong's position in the hearts of the Shen family.

She lacked ability and her appearance was also average. The news spread throughout Jinling Prefecture that the second daughter of the Shen family was plain-looking and stupid, uneducated, and illiterate. Any young master from a prestigious family would not be interested in such a woman. Even though she was the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, there were many legitimate daughters of famous families in the entire Jinling Prefecture, and they were no different from Shen Qingyu.

And how can she stand out among so many young ladies from aristocratic families?

Her road is difficult, and there are more hardships waiting for her in the future.

But she had no way to retreat, she could only face it step by step, killing gods and Buddhas who stood in her way.
