They hadn’t broken off Lady Lianxue’s engagement with anyone.
Among the young men in the crowd, there were some who were considered outstanding. They wondered why Lady Shen Lianxue should be betrothed to Qian Ziang when there were other promising choices available. If they could marry Lady Shen Lianxue, their futures would undoubtedly soar to new heights. The mere thought of it filled them with excitement.
Without hesitation, they openly expressed their interest, taking advantage of the Qian Family’s predicament to elevate themselves.
Shen Lianxue observed these individuals. Although she didn’t particularly like them, she had no intention of offending them. While it might not matter if she offended the Qian Family, offending too many people could potentially lead to problems for Lady You in the future.
Therefore, Shen Lianxue offered a faint smile and replied, “If I find it appealing, I will naturally consider it.”
Her response delighted the group of hopeful suitors.
As the Qian Family witnessed this scene, they grew somewhat apprehensive. They regretted not intervening when Qian Ziang had spoken earlier. The King held Shen Lianxue in high regard, especially in her current state of cultivation, and these individuals seeking her favor would not bode well for the Qian Family’s standing in Southern Mist. If they learned that Shen Lianxue harbored animosity towards the Qian Family, it could place them in an uncomfortable position in the future. These people might target the Qian Family in an attempt to gain her favor.
In retrospect, the Qian Family realized their mistake. They should not have allowed Qian Ziang to speak openly in the palace, drawing such attention. If they had to address the matter, it should have been done privately to avoid such an embarrassing situation.
Conversely, the Shen family appeared content and relieved.
Indeed!
Shen Lianxue’s stance was justified.
The past might have seen the Shen Family in a subordinate position to the Qian Family, but circumstances had shifted. The Shen Family now boasted a Fifth Heaven martial warrior and possessed the knowledge of alchemical skills. What reason was there to fear or cling to the Qian Family? In their eyes, there was no need whatsoever.
As the Shen family contemplated the situation, they grew increasingly convinced of the rightness of their stance.
Reflecting on their history, the Shen family had grown accustomed to seeking favor from others. In their eagerness, they had momentarily forgotten their newfound strengths and self-sufficiency.
With an air of pride, they declared, “You’re absolutely right. With Lianxue’s cultivation and her mother’s alchemical talents, individuals of such caliber naturally need not consider a family that once terminated her engagement.
There are plenty of exceptional men in Southern Mist. We will take our time in selecting.”
Silence followed their proclamation.
“If there’s nothing else, we will take our leave.”
Silence persisted.
“The Shen family has numerous matters to attend to, and we cannot casually delay them,” the Shen family asserted with an air of arrogance before preparing to depart.
With the presence of the Qian Family and Qian Ziang, the Shen Family and Shen Lianxue made their exit.
The elders of the clan were in high spirits. They had concerns about Shen Ningyu potentially causing trouble and disturbing Shen Lianxue, so they arranged a separate carriage for her. The elders squeezed into the carriage, which Shen Lianxue accepted without hesitation.
This arrangement allowed her to complete her mission more effectively.
Upon returning to the palace…
Shen Ningyu was arranged to leave and made a scene, crying and causing a disturbance, which became rather vexing.
Shen Lianxue, on the other hand, was respectfully accommodated within the clan.
In the clan, there was something to discuss.
Moreover, Shen Lianxue was counting on that branch after all. The elders of the clan were worried that if that branch was too prosperous, it would affect the interests of the clan.
After a discussion.
He decided to prepare a good courtyard for Shen Lianxue in the clan and let her move to the clan..
