Chapter 495: Bring Shen Jing over and get married with us on the same day
Shen Ruolan said: "Of course."
If Jiang Dichen was willing to marry her, she would not be forced to die today.
Liu Meizhao was silent for a long time, then said to Shen Ruolan, "Let's cancel the engagement."
After hearing what her daughter said, Madam Liu said anxiously, "Zhao Zhao, if you cancel the engagement, it will be difficult for you to find a good family in the future."
When a girl is rejected from an engagement, it is equivalent to being divorced by her husband's family, and no normal family will marry her in the future.
Liu Meizhao said to her mother with a determined look: "Mom, if you can't find me in the future, I won't marry."
Madam Liu looked at her daughter worriedly and said, "Zhao Zhao, it's not about whether you get married or not. What if someone wants to marry you as a concubine in the future? What should your father and I do? There will be no Doctor Shen to help us then."
Madam Liu's words made Liu Meizhao stunned. Yes, officials like them were the targets that the princes or other adults wanted to use. What if they wanted to...
Liu Meizhao didn't dare to think further. She quickly came back to her senses and asked Shen Ruolan, "Doctor Shen, I heard that you have many outstanding men in Fuzhai and you don't need to take concubines. Can you help me choose one?"
If she really had a choice, she would choose someone who would not take concubines, who was clean in body and mind, and it didn't matter if his family was poor.
Liu Meizhao's words surprised Shen Ruolan. She looked at her and asked, "Do you trust me so much?"
Liu Meizhao gave her a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "The fact that you can come to me to discuss marriage shows that you have a kind heart. If you are kind, you will not harm me."
Before Shen Ruolan could say anything, Madam Liu became anxious. She looked at her daughter and said, "Zhao Zhao, Doctor Shen's Fuzhai is too far away. You won't be able to handle it if you go there."
What Mrs. Liu actually wanted to say was that there were a bunch of refugees there, who were extremely poor. She couldn't bear to go there and live a hard life for the rest of her life.
Unexpectedly, Liu Meizhao smiled at her mother and said, "Mom, Doctor Shen can live well there, so can my daughter."
"You..." Madam Liu wanted to say something, but Liu Meizhao held her hand and said, "Mother, this is settled."
After that, she said to Shen Ruolan, "Doctor Shen, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter."
After a pause, she continued, "I trust you as a person, so I also trust the person you choose."
After Liu Meizhao finished speaking, her face instantly turned red with shame, and she suddenly became charming and lively, completely free of the despair and lifelessness she had just shown.
Seeing that Liu Meizhao was determined to marry into her Fuzhai, Shen Ruolan thought for a while about who could match Liu Meizhao. She thought for a long time and it seemed that no one was suitable for her except her younger brother.
Because there are several outstanding men who all have their own partners, it is impossible for her to break them up out of selfishness.
After Shen Ruolan hesitated for a long time, she said to Liu Meizhao: "How about my seventh brother, whose original name was Lan Zhiying, but now changed to Shen Jing, but he has already sold himself to me in name. If you don't mind, I will make the decision for you."
Madam Liu listened to Shen Ruolan's words. She looked at her and asked, "But is it Lord Censor Lan's illegitimate son, Lan Zhiying?"
She had heard of this child before. It seemed that the child ran away from home a few years ago and his whereabouts are still unknown.
"That's right, but he is mine now and has nothing to do with the Lan family." Shen Ruolan explained to Madam Liu.
Madam Liu looked at Shen Ruolan with complicated feelings. She was afraid that her daughter would be entangled with the Lan family in the future and would have a hard time.
Liu Meizhao was silent for a moment, then responded to Shen Ruolan: "Doctor Shen, I agree."
Madam Liu looked at her daughter anxiously and said, "Zhao Zhao..."
Liu Meizhao looked at her mother and said, "Mom, anyone who can be taken in by Doctor Shen must have decent character. I believe her."
Madam Liu looked at her daughter with a distressed face and said, "Zhao Zhao, my poor daughter."
Seeing that Liu Meizhao agreed, Shen Ruolan said to Liu Meizhao, "Since you all agree, then you should get ready. I will send someone to send a message back and pick up Shen Jing so that we can get married on the same day."
Madam Liu nodded to Shen Ruolan and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble Doctor Shen to go to the Emperor with Prince Han to negotiate."
"Don't worry, the prince will handle this matter." After Shen Ruolan said this, she turned and left.
However, after walking a few steps, she turned back and smiled at Liu Meizhao, "Miss Liu, Shen Jing is fifteen this year and one year younger than you, but he is much taller than you and looks better than the eldest young master of the Lan Mansion. I believe he will not let you down."
Speaking of appearance, we have to mention Lan Mao. He himself was not bad looking, and with his picky eyes, the concubines he chose were all top-notch in appearance, and none of the children he gave birth to were ugly.
Shen Ruolan's words comforted Liu Meizhao. She looked at her and said, "Doctor Shen, I don't care what he looks like. I just hope he treats me well in the future."
She doesn't ask for deep love from her future husband, she just wants them to treat her with respect.
Shen Ruolan nodded at her and said, "Well, I don't think he will let you down."
After saying this, she walked away.
Jiang Dichen, who was waiting in the hall, saw Shen Ruolan coming out. He hurried forward and asked, "How is she?"
Shen Ruolan looked at him and said, "Fortunately, we arrived in time and the person was saved."
Shen Ruolan said, she told Jiang Dichen what just happened: "Miss Liu said that she wants to marry into my Fu Village, and I agreed to her."
After saying that, she asked Jiang Dichen, "Jiang Dichen, there shouldn't be any problem with this, right?"
Jiang Dichen was a little surprised to hear that the other party wanted to marry in a remote mountainous area. He was silent for a moment and asked Shen Ruolan, "Marrying in Fu Village, do you have a suitable candidate?"
"Yes, although Shen Jing is one year younger than her, he is a nice person. I believe they will live a good life in the future." Shen Ruolan said.
Jiang Dichen listened, nodded and said: "Since you have made your choice, I will go to the palace and tell my father now."
"Well, go quickly, otherwise something might happen if you're late." Shen Ruolan urged.
Jiang Dichen said: "I will send you back to the villa first."
"Okay." After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, the two of them walked towards the gate of Liu Mansion.
The next morning, Shen Ruolan had just gotten up when she saw a long line of people outside the gate of the villa where she lived. Wan Dong helped Shen Ruolan wash up while complaining, "Madam, what are these people doing around our courtyard so early in the morning? If the emperor hears about this, I'm afraid he will be dissatisfied with you again."
After Shen Ruolan heard Wan Dong's words, she paused for a moment and said to her, "It's not everyone's fault. I was not thoughtful enough yesterday."
She originally thought that there were only a few dozen people, but she didn't expect that the number would suddenly rise to over a hundred.
However, with so many people coming, she couldn't handle it all by herself, and she was also in a hurry to promote her own soy sauce.
Shen Ruolan washed up with a frown on her face. When she came to the dining room and saw her third cousin, her eyebrows suddenly moved. She walked to his side and sat down and said, "Third cousin, are you free today?"
