After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 507 Do you want to hear good things or bad things?

Now, the thought of her daughter, whom she had raised with such care, being coveted by someone so early in life makes her want to vomit. Unfortunately, the other party is of high status, and she can't afford to offend them.

The couple was extremely worried about this.

At this moment, Shen Yuezhang brought over the twins who were playing wildly. Seeing that her parents' expressions were not good, she quickly put away her smile and asked, "What's wrong? Dad, you look terrible. Mom, who made you angry? Or did you two have a fight?"

"No!" Shen Yi and Su Tai replied in unison.

After they finished speaking, the couple looked at each other.

Shen Yuezhang looked at her younger brother and sister with suspicion.

The twins were so frightened they shook their heads.

"Big sister, we just got back, it definitely has nothing to do with us!" Shen Congyu clenched his fists, his eyes resolute.

Judging from his upright and dignified appearance, he didn't seem like he had done anything wrong.

Shen Yuean immediately declared, "I'm very well-behaved, extremely well-behaved."

Shen Yuezhang was now puzzled. "Then what is it for?"

"You!" the couple said again.

Shen Yuezhang was shocked and pointed at himself, blinking hard. "I didn't cause any trouble!"

Su Tai sighed, feeling exhausted, and beckoned to the twins, calling them over.

"I ask you, having spent so much time with Young Master Jue, how much do you really know about him? What is his character like?"

Shen Congyu's big eyes revealed a clear naiveté.

"Mom, why are you asking about Brother Jue all of a sudden? I know Uncle Xue listens to him. Brother Jue is amazing. He's good at both literature and martial arts. He can lead troops and suppress bandits."

If you ask me if he's a good person, I'll definitely say he's great in every way. After all, he taught me kung fu, never forgot me during training, and always remembered to bring me things when he went out on business.

He wouldn't be an exaggeration to call me my own brother.

Su Tai nodded, confirming that her youngest son was a die-hard fan of Murong Jue. She decided to disregard his opinion for the time being and then turned her attention to her youngest daughter.

"An'er, what do you think?"

Shen Yue'an glanced at Shen Congyu and smiled mischievously, "Mother, do you want to hear good things or bad things?"

"How could such a thing be faked?" Su Tai glared angrily.

Shen Yue'an stuck out her tongue, looking completely innocent. "I was just trying to make Mother happy! If you want to hear nice things, I'll definitely list all of Brother Jue's good points. If you don't like him, I'll definitely stand up to you!"

"Hahahaha..." Shen Yi was amused and laughed uncontrollably, affectionately patting his youngest daughter's head, "You! If only your second brother were a bit as clever as you!"

Su Tai rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. "You're still praising her!"

“Mother, my sister has good judgment.” Shen Yuezhang covered her mouth and chuckled.

Su Tai took a deep breath and decided not to argue with her youngest daughter. "Tell me the good and the bad."

"Oh!" Shen Yue'an glanced at Shen Yi obediently and moved closer to him without leaving a trace.

"If I had to name some of Jue-gege's strengths, there would be so many. He's both scholarly and martial, and he's incredibly intelligent. I can never hide my little tricks from him."

She has a whole repertoire of profound principles, is very filial to her aunt, and even finds me tutors and nannies, treating me like her own sister.

If I had to point out his flaws, I could go on for three days and three nights without being able to count them all. He's a grown man who likes to nitpick over every little thing. He can even notice if I copy a page less than I should.

Even slacking off while standing on the wooden stake is forbidden; the punishment is tenfold, and he holds grudges. I secretly spoke ill of him behind his back, but he always overheard me, and he beat my buttocks with that ruler, breaking several of them in the process.

I am a woman, a woman! You have absolutely no sense of chivalry…

Shen Yue'an became increasingly angry and agitated as she spoke, and her voice grew louder and louder.

Seeing that she was about to get angry, Shen Yisu quickly told her to stop.

“Daughter, I’ve been listening to him for half a year and I still can’t find anything wrong with him, but I do know that you’ve done a lot of ‘good deeds’! You’re the one who exposed yourself today, no one forced you.” Shen Yi looked at his youngest daughter, both amused and annoyed.

Shen Yuean realized what was happening and covered her mouth in surprise, her little face making people burst into laughter.

Su Tai wanted to get angry but couldn't, and laughed in exasperation, "Let's get serious, does Murong Jue have any close maids around him?"

The twins shook their heads in unison.

“Mother, apart from my little sister and the maid who takes care of her, the rest of the soldiers in the garrison are all men. My aunt came with some maids and old women, but they are all in the backyard and cannot go to the front yard.”

Brother Jue also said that he would let his little sister come home in two years; she's too old for her to stay at the military camp any longer.

Shen Congyu told everything he knew in one breath.

Su Tai and her husband's complexions visibly improved.

She exchanged a glance with Shen Yi, then gently said to the twins, "Go out and have fun, just remember not to cause trouble."

The two children were overjoyed and ran faster than rabbits.

Su Tai called out to Shen Yuezhang, her face full of reluctance, but in the end she gritted her teeth and told her about the princess's marriage proposal.

"I thought these two were pretty and we weren't in a hurry to get married, but I never expected the princess to take a fancy to you."

Now it's up to you what you think. If you're willing, your mother will go and tell the Princess in a little while. If you're not willing, your mother and father will definitely find a way to help you.

Although their family couldn't compete with the royal princess, she still had a special ability: she could inflict some illness on Shen Yuezhang, so she wasn't completely without options.

After a brief moment of surprise, Shen Yuezhang asked, puzzled, "Mother, what does the Princess see in me? The capital is full of talented and beautiful young ladies from prominent families. Could there be other reasons behind this?"

Shen Yi snorted in dissatisfaction, "What other reason could it be besides that brat Murong Jue! Girl, you and Murong Jue..."

Shen Yuezhang was startled and quickly shook his head, "Father! When I talk business with him in the shop, I always wear a veil and am surrounded by people! I have never had any private contact with him."

Shen Yi's forehead was covered in black lines. "Dad didn't mean that. I meant that you and Murong Jue are quite a good match. Apart from the fact that our family is of low social standing, I don't think there's anything about you that makes you unworthy of him!"

Shen Yuezhang let out a long sigh of relief, her cheeks flushed.

Seeing her like this, Su Tai could more or less guess Shen Yuezhang's thoughts, and said with a helpless smile, "If you are also willing, your father and I will agree!"

Shen Yuezhang lowered his head, his ears turning red. "It's all up to my parents."

After Shen Yuezhang left, Shen Yi hugged Su Tai sullenly, "Girls really are hard to keep at home once they grow up. Oh well, since that's how it is, I'll agree."

Su Tai gave him a reproachful look, "You're acting innocent after getting the benefit."

Putting everything else aside, Murong Jue is, after all, the only son of Princess Huai'an. Being related to Princess Huai'an by marriage is something many people envy.

The couple went to the front yard again.

For the first time, Murong Jue was so nervous that his mouth went dry, and he subconsciously drank tea to cover it up.

Princess Huai'an didn't react much, but asked curiously, "These past two days I've noticed that the flowers in Miss Shen's room are still blooming beautifully. What kind of flowers are they?"
