Chapter 491: Who Was That Gaze On?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation
She said calmly, “Seventh Uncle, I came to have a look at Old Madam’s leg, so I’ll go in with Miaozhen first.”
“Sure, go ahead,” Liang Sheng treated his niece much more kindly, even with a smile on his face. “Your grandfather has been mentioning you these days, saying he wants to visit Fusheng Pavilion and see how your illness is progressing. But he went there twice and missed you both times. He’s not happy at home!”
Hearing this, Liu s.h.i.+mei couldn’t help but smile. “Oh, then I’ll make some time in the next few days to go home and visit Grandpa myself.”
Liang Sheng nodded approvingly. “That would be great.”
At this moment, the young masters of the Zhang family also came out. After exchanging greetings, Liang Sheng left with them.
Liu s.h.i.+mei glanced at Zhang Miaozhen, who was watching her brothers leave, but it was unclear whose figure her gaze lingered on…
Intriguing!
“Miaozhen, take me to see the Old Madam.”
Her words brought Zhang Miaozhen back to reality. She smiled politely and said, “Sure, come with me.”
Walking side by side in the corridor, Liu s.h.i.+mei and Zhang Miaozhen, suddenly, she sighed involuntarily and said, “My Seventh Uncle, he’s quite talented, isn’t he?”
“Yes,” Zhang Miaozhen replied politely with a smile, “Although the Zhang family doesn’t understand military matters, my brothers often train with Little General Liang. I’ve heard them talk about it. Little General Liang achieved great success at a young age and came up with many useful ideas for the military, greatly enhancing the strength of the Shu army. He’s indeed a hero.”
Liu s.h.i.+mei observed her carefully, but there was no excess emotion on her face, as if the awkwardness she had seen between Liang Sheng and her earlier was just a product of Liu s.h.i.+mei’s imagination.
“But my seventh uncle’s marriage hasn’t been settled yet. Grandfather and my uncles are also very worried!” Liu s.h.i.+mei added a bit of emphasis and continued, “A few days ago, I was in isolation for recovery, right? Some aunts chatted with me, concerned about my seventh uncle. They asked me to pay attention to n.o.ble girls in the capital and find out who would be suitable for my seventh uncle.”
She paused, chuckled, and said, “My big aunt even said, as long as my seventh uncle likes her, it doesn’t matter if she’s n.o.ble or not! If worst comes to worst, a girl from an ordinary family would do!”
She observed Zhang Miaozhen’s expression, smiled, and went on, “You know, I’ve consulted many ladies before. There should be plenty of opportunities to matchmake for my seventh uncle!”
In fact, which family in the Capital had eligible young ladies that could escape the eyes of matchmakers?
As long as a matchmaker came around, within a quarter of an hour, they could fabricate a story convincingly!
There was nothing unusual on Zhang Miaozhen’s face. She even wore a faint smile. Her hands were tucked inside her wide sleeves; from Liu s.h.i.+mei’s angle, it seemed like her left and right hands were clasped together.
Though not obvious, there was a slight reaction!
Liu s.h.i.+mei thought, ‘It seems my guess wasn’t baseless. Zhang Miaozhen really likes Seventh Uncle, huh? But…’
She then thought, “She’s also a candidate for the Crown Prince’s consort!”
Because of this, she probably wouldn’t show any signs, right?
But she was very curious. Zhang Miaozhen didn’t have many interactions with Liang Sheng, right? So how did she develop feelings for him?
Moreover, Liang Sheng clearly didn’t have any feelings for Zhang Miaozhen. If she became the Crown Prince’s consort, it wouldn’t be easy. If she didn’t, developing a peaceful and loving relations.h.i.+p with Liang Sheng would probably be difficult too.
This time, whether it was a literary family or a military family… Considering the precedents set by Liu Fuyun and Liang Ruyi, was it even possible for them?
Calculating all this in her mind, Liu s.h.i.+mei couldn’t help but ask, “By the way, Miaozhen, are you familiar with my seventh uncle?”
