Venomous Empress Reborn

697 Dating (6)

When the maid outside came to report that Shen Miao was here, Mrs. Su immediately sat up straight and looked at the door excitedly.

A tall girl in a light yellow dress walked in. She was quite perky and handsome in a heroic way. Her skin was wheat-colored. When she walked, she would bounce. Her hair was tied into a bun. There were only two pearl earrings as decoration on her body and a red dagger at her waist.

Mrs. Su was stunned. She did not expect Su Mingfeng to like such a woman.

When the girl saw Luo Xueyan, she smiled and said, “Aunt.”

Aunt? Mrs. Su was confused before she saw that there was another girl behind the girl. That girl was wearing a lilac-colored pleated dress with begonias on the sides. She had a moon-white jacket and a snow-white cloak. Her skin was as fair as a peeled egg, and her eyes were round and bright. She had a small nose, a small mouth, and delicate eyebrows. She had a cute appearance. She walked elegantly and steadily, looking like someone who had come out of the palace. When Mrs. Su first married Su Yu, she had a chance to see the empress. She felt that the petite and cute girl in front of her was exactly the same as the empress, if not better in terms of temperament.

The girl called Luo Xueyan Mother and then looked at Mrs. Su.

Luo Xueyan quickly said, “This is the madam of the Su family. This is my daughter and niece, Luo Tan.”

Shen Miao and Luo Tan bowed to Mrs. Su.

Mrs. Su did not go to the palace banquet last time. She had only heard of Shen Miao going against Princess Ming An at the banquet. She thought that Shen Miao was not a docile person, so she was a little worried when she heard from Su Minglang that Su Mingfeng liked Shen Miao. However, she still had to come and take a look for herself. After all, this was her son’s marriage. Thinking that Shen Miao must be an unruly girl, she subconsciously thought of Luo Tan as Shen Miao. However, she did not expect that Shen Miao was completely different from what she thought.

She smiled and took out two red packets from her sleeve. She stuffed them into Shen Miao and Luo Tan’s hands and said with a smile, “Mrs. Shen, you’re really lucky. Your daughter and niece are both very good-looking.”

Luo Tan and Shen Miao both looked at the red packet in their hands in confusion. It was not the new year. It would be fine to receive the red packet if they were close. Shen Miao knew very well that the Su family and the Shen family were not close at all. Could it be that Su Mingfeng had found out something? But even if it was the case, why did Mrs. Su have to come?

Luo Xueyan was about to turn down the red packets when Mrs. Su grabbed her hand and said, “If you decline, I’ll be angry. I just like these two girls very much. It’s just a greeting gift.” She sighed again. “If only I had two daughters.”

Luo Xueyan was really confused by Mrs. Su today. She could only go along with her and say, “I’m flattered. Madam, you also have two outstanding sons.”

“How are they outstanding?” Mrs. Su shook her head. “Minglang is very mischievous. He doesn’t want to learn. I can’t force him. I heard that your son, Shen Qiu, was very sensible when he was young. I’m very envious.”

“Don’t you still have Mingfeng?” Luo Xueyan smiled and said, “Everyone knows that Mingfeng is a young talent.”

Mrs. Su was delighted. She looked at Shen Miao and Luo Tan and said, “Misses, we’re just chatting about boring things. If you don’t like it, go and have fun.”

Shen Miao became more and more vigilant. At the mention of Su Mingfeng, Mrs. Su wanted to send her away. Could it be that Mrs. Su was really here for what happened yesterday?

Luo Tan and Shen Miao walked out. Shen Miao turned around and whispered, “Cong Yang, hide in the main hall and hear what they have to say.”

Even if she spoke in a low voice, Cong Yang could still hear her. Seeing this, Luo Tan asked, “Little Cousin, what are you muttering about?”

In the main hall, Mrs. Su covered her chest and looked at Luo Xueyan with a melancholic expression. “To be honest, Mingfeng is indeed not bad. All these years, his father and I have never had to worry about him. He’s a good-looking and talented man. He became an official at a young age and is filial and polite. You can’t find a second one in the capital.”

Luo Xueyan smiled, but she was thinking to herself, Just now, she said that Shen Qiu was good, and now, she said that her son was the best in the capital. Who would praise their son like that?

As she was thinking, she heard Mrs. Su sigh deeply and continue, “But there is one thing I’m dissatisfied with my son. He is stubborn. Once he makes up his mind on something, he won’t change. As a result, he’s not married yet even at such an age. Sigh!”
