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

Chapter 39 Marriage

A little sunlight came through the room, and through the window lattice, the sunlight became much softer, blocking out the coolness outside.

But the atmosphere in this room was tense.

Jin tensed up, not knowing what she had said to irritate the young lady and make her so angry.

She glanced at Aunt Liu cautiously, and seeing her gloomy face, Jin's heart sank. If she provoked this mother and daughter, what would happen to her son's marriage?

"Tong'er, don't get yourself hurt by being angry," Aunt Liu held Shen Xitong's hand, feeling very sorry for the injustice her daughter had suffered this time. "Mother knows you are unwilling to accept this. How can you swallow this anger after suffering such a great injustice for no reason?"

The anger on Shen Xitong's face had not subsided yet. She held Aunt Liu's hand tightly, without even realizing how much strength she was using.

"Mother, it's because of Shen Qingyu's words that my aunt didn't come to attend my coming-of-age ceremony. We had already agreed on this!"

Shen Xitong didn't believe what Shen Qingyu said at all. She had figured out that Shen Qingyu had been pretending to be something in front of them and tripping others up behind their backs for so many years!

"I won't let her have an easy time! She even brought up the Bai family to try to suppress me. What a joke! Everyone knows that in Daddy's heart, those people from Wuheyuan don't exist at all!"

"Okay, okay, mother won't let that bitch have an easy time. Leave this matter to me. I will definitely ruin her reputation and make her unable to stay in the Shen family!" Aunt Liu comforted her, not caring that she said these harsh words and that Jin, who was standing next to her, heard them.

They are all tied to the same rope. If she doesn't have an easy life, the Liu family won't have an easy life either.

Jin sat obediently beside him and said nothing.

"Mother, why am I a concubine's daughter? I have done everything very well, but God still refuses to give me a way out. Shen Qingyu is not as good as me in everything, but when she reaches the age of marriage, she can choose a family that is much better than mine."

Shen Xitong's eyes were full of unwillingness, and there was a deep fire in her eyes that seemed to be about to ignite her whole body.

After her coming-of-age ceremony, she began to formally discuss marriage. Before her birthday, although she was almost old enough to do so, some things were not easy to bring to the surface, and her father had chosen Young Master Nanrong for her.

She fell in love with him at first sight at the flower-viewing banquet, and she believed that Master Nanrong was also deeply impressed by her. However, she came from a poor family, so the Nanrong family would definitely not allow a concubine's daughter to marry into the family and become Mrs. Nanrong.

But this matter was done in private, and it was inevitable that someone would come looking for her reputation and propose a marriage for Shen Xitong, but those people were from inferior families, how could they be worthy of her!

Even though she was a concubine's daughter, the Shen family was wealthy and well-known in Jinling Prefecture. If a concubine's daughter from a prestigious family married into a small family like that, she would never be able to hold her head up for the rest of her life.

Shen Xitong's appearance was one of the best among the many women waiting to be married in Jinling Mansion. Aunt Liu also expressed to the matchmaker Hongniang that those young men from wealthy families were not good enough and were indeed not worthy of Shen Xitong. Hongniang was neither embarrassed nor annoyed, and said politely that it didn't matter that Miss Shen looked down on him. If she wanted someone from a higher family background, she would probably only be able to be a concubine in the end. It depended on whether Miss Shen was willing or not, and the matchmakers like them could also mediate.

Not to mention that Aunt Liu was angry about this, Shen Xitong was so angry that she jumped up and down on the spot. She almost couldn't hold it in and was about to scold the person out.

The matchmaker could see Shen Xitong's dissatisfaction and anger, and smiled contemptuously.

She said that she recommended the eldest daughter of the Shen family to the eldest lady of the Feng family. The Feng family was of high status, but unfortunately, the eldest lady of the Feng family looked down on Shen Xitong and thought that this girl was coquettish. Marrying such a person into the family, even as a concubine, would cause unrest in the family and she was not a good match.

Shen Xitong was very angry at this, but Lady Hong was also a famous figure in Jinling Prefecture and could not be easily offended.

After Aunt Liu sent the people away, Shen Xitong tore up many poems and paintings.

Aunt Liu was very upset at the moment. She glanced at Jin and said, "What are you still doing here? Tong'er's coming-of-age ceremony is over. I asked someone to prepare gifts for my brother. You can take them back."

Jin stood up and bowed in gratitude, "Thank you, Madam. We still need you to take care of the affairs of this family. Otherwise, our life will not be so easy."

The little bit of money that slipped out from between Aunt Liu's fingers was enough to feed and clothe the entire Liu family. At this point, Jin had to provide well for Aunt Liu, otherwise she would not be able to get the money back and her life would not be easy.

Aunt Liu frowned when she saw that Jin was still in the room and had not left. The maid next to her had already cleaned up the things that Shen Xitong had broken and replaced them with a new set of teacups and teacups.

"Is there anything else?" asked Aunt Liu.

Jin smiled embarrassedly, "It's like this, Yi Ping has reached the age to discuss marriage this year, don't you want to choose a good marriage for him? You have watched him grow up since he was a child. This child is smart and has a bright future. If you are an ordinary woman, wouldn't it delay him?"

Shen Xitong looked at Liu Yiping who was flirting with the little girl in the corridor outside. He was tall but thin, and the robe he was wearing seemed a bit ill-fitting.

This was for the purpose of showing off when he came to the Shen family. He picked out a nice brocade robe from a clothing shop outside. Since it was not tailor-made, it was a bit inappropriate for Liu Yiping, who was tall but too thin.

Shen Xitong poured a cup of tea, "Aunt, are you planning to find a girl from Jinling Mansion for my cousin?"

Jin nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course, we dare not think of someone as outstanding as Tong'er, as long as she is a young lady waiting to be married from a noble family in Jinling City, it will be fine. In this way, Yi Ping can come to the city in the future, and he can be closer to the lady and the eldest lady, and they can take care of each other——"

"I do have a good candidate."

Aunt Liu suddenly spoke with a vicious smile on her face.
