Chapter 207 Shen Tingyao's Marriage
Shen Tingyao looked up at Shen Jinyao and saw that she was still the same. Although it was hard to tell whether she liked her or disliked her, she felt at ease at the moment.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
God knows how scared she was when she rejected the eldest prince just now.
Shen Jinyao noticed something was wrong with Shen Tingyao, so she closed the door and sat next to Shen Tingyao.
Shen Jinyao asked, "What happened, Tingyao?"
I guess even Shen Jinyao didn't know how gentle her voice was when she said this.
It was as if he was talking to Xiaojiu.
This sentence probably made Shen Tingyao completely relax. She sniffed and started crying.
Shen Jinyao: "Why are you crying? Did the eldest prince do something?"
Shen Tingyao shook her head and finally nodded.
Shen Jinyao's face darkened and she asked, "What did he do?"
Shen Tingyao cried for a while before she started talking.
"Hey, Jinyao, I almost thought I was dead."
Shen Jinyao's tone became a little anxious, and she said, "What do you mean your life is gone? Explain it clearly."
Shen Tingyao looked at Shen Jinyao's anxious expression and actually felt a little relieved.
She put the hairpin back into her head and said quietly, "The eldest prince wanted me, but I didn't agree."
Shen Jinyao: "Want you?"
Shen Tingyao nodded and said, "Let me follow him and be his personal maid."
Although the eldest prince did not say so explicitly, those beautiful women he mentioned, weren't they just maids without status?
Shen Jinyao slammed the table in anger, "He's really daydreaming."
Shen Jinyao rarely shows his emotions. Even when fighting with others, he would just keep a straight face and wipe the other person's neck.
This time he was so angry that he slammed the table, which shows how angry he was.
Shen Tingyao snorted, "Yeah, he made me follow him without any status. Doesn't anyone want me, Shen Tingyao?"
"I am a noble lady in Shangjing City who is both talented and beautiful. Even in the entire Jiuzhou Kingdom, I am ranked among the top."
"So what if I was exiled? That doesn't mean I won't be able to get married, right, Jinyao?"
Shen Jinyao looked at Shen Tingyao's angry expression and actually wanted to laugh.
She deliberately held back before speaking, "Is that what you told the eldest prince?"
Shen Tingyao: "Yes, I told him that I would only be his legal wife."
Shen Jinyao couldn't help but admire Shen Tingyao. She was also worried that Shen Tingyao would compromise for the sake of fame and fortune.
After all, this is ancient times.
If women in ancient times wanted to live a good life, they mostly had to rely on men.
"The eldest prince doesn't treat me as a human being. He doesn't even dare to give me the title of concubine. I know I can't be with a man like that."
"Now that he looks down on me, I will definitely marry well in the future."
After Shen Tingyao finished speaking, she put her hands on her hips and lowered her head again.
Shen Jinyao smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
You were speaking so confidently just now, why are you suddenly so depressed?
Shen Tingyao raised her head and glanced at Jin Yao.
"Jin Yao, do you think I can really get married? Who can marry me?"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that Shen Jinyao was one year older than her, and logically, Jinyao should have married first.
but……
She felt that Jin Yao was not in a hurry.
So Shen Tingyao explained, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to bring up your sad story. You know I'm so beautiful, it's only a matter of time before I'm proposed to."
Shen Jinyao: "What's the sad thing?"
Shen Tingyao blinked her eyes, "Of course it's about your broken engagement. Such a good marriage with the Xiang family is gone just like that."
Shen Jinyao smiled bitterly and said, "The Xiang family isn't a good match for marriage either. Perhaps this is a blessing in disguise for me."
Shen Tingyao opened her mouth. She didn't expect that Shen Jinyao was so sad that she started to deceive herself.
She thought about it, and comforted Shen Jinyao, saying: "It's okay, Jinyao, you can't compare with me. You are not that ugly, you will definitely be able to get married."
Shen Jinyao: ...
Shen Jinyao: "I'm not in a hurry, don't worry about me."
After Shen Jinyao finished speaking, she looked at Shen Tingyao.
Shen Tingyao: "I'm not in a hurry, but Auntie is, and it's only been a matter of the past two years."
"And you know my appearance. Auntie said someone is already asking about it."
Shen Jinyao was not wrong in saying this, as she had heard of it.
Originally, this matter should not be Shen Jinyao's business, but since the incident with the eldest prince happened today, Shen Jinyao still needs to intervene.
Shen Jinyao asked, "What you said makes sense. What kind of family do you want to find?"
Hearing Shen Jinyao's question, Shen Tingyao blinked.
Her eyes were naturally very beautiful, and after crying just now, they looked even more pitiful.
Shen Jinyao was even a little distracted. She was wondering who would not be moved by those eyes.
Shen Tingyao: "I've never thought about this before. I always thought that my father, mother, and grandmother would definitely find a good marriage for me."
"I just need to be the second young lady of the Marquisate."
"Who knew a sudden disaster would strike? I no longer have beautiful clothes or fine jewelry. No noble men are courting me, and no noble ladies are dating me."
“I learned to cook and even do my own laundry.”
Shen Tingyao held the hairpin on her head while speaking, "I don't think killing chickens and ducks is bloody. In fact, I think the money I spent on this hairpin is worth it."
"If I hadn't been able to kill people with the hairpin when I was tied up, the eldest prince and I would have ended up in a bad way."
"I haven't thought about marrying the eldest prince, but I won't marry an ordinary person either. I don't want to marry someone without status and power."
"It's just that it's hard to say whether you can meet such a person."
Shen Jinyao didn't expect Shen Tingyao to be able to say so much. She suddenly thought of what she had just said to Xiang Hongxuan.
The previous Shen Jinyao is already dead, but what she said is true.
Now it seems that the previous Shen Tingyao has also disappeared.
But her pride is still there, and her reserve is still there.
She knew that she would definitely not marry as well as before, but she still insisted on her pride and refused to be someone else's mistress or concubine.
Shen Jinyao was able to figure this out because she was the eldest daughter of the Shen family.
But she is a modern person at heart.
But Shen Tingyao is not like that, she is a real ancient person.
In ancient times when women obeyed their fathers at home and their husbands after marriage, it was not easy to think of this.
It seems that she has really grown a lot along the way.
Shen Jinyao has always been a little worried about Shen Tingyao. It seems that at least she can protect herself.
"Then do you believe me?"
"Ok?"
"As long as the Shen family gets better, I will help you find a good family."
