Chapter 619 - 251 Match (Part 1)_2
Nanny Hao looked towards Yueyao from the side, a deep thought flashing in her eyes. The young lady always thought many steps ahead. If she did not have an idea or resolution in her heart, she would never have rejected going to the Shen family. If she desired to marry into the Shen family, she definitely would not have embarrassed her future sister-in-law like this. Recalling Yueyao’s previous attitude towards Lady Shen and Young Master Shen, Nanny Hao felt an ominous sensation.
Nanny Hao said to Xi Yu, "You go out first, I will try to persuade the young lady again." After speaking, Nanny Hao glanced at Xiang Wei.
Yueyao nodded at Xiang Wei with a smile, and only then did Xiang Wei leave. As soon as Xiang Wei left, Nanny Hao asked, "Young lady, why did you not attend Miss Shen’s banquet?"
Yueyao smiled and said, "I just didn’t want to go."
Nanny Hao was silent for a long while before she finally plucked up the courage to ask, "Young lady, tell this old servant, do you no longer wish to pursue this marriage with the Shen family?"
Yueyao did not speak.
Nanny Hao initially guessed, but Yueyao’s silent attitude now confirmed her suspicion was true. Nanny Hao incredulously asked, "Young lady, why? The Shen family has a good background, and Shen Conghao is a well-known talented man in the Capital City. She could not understand why Yueyao did not want to marry him."
Yueyao said indifferently, "My dream is to become a Great Painter. If I become one, the Shen family would not be able to accommodate me." This was somewhat an excuse, but still, it had its valid points. Men generally cannot tolerate overly strong women.
Nanny Hao did not believe this reason. Having been by Yueyao’s side for so long, she naturally knew what was sincere and what was an excuse: "Young lady, this marriage was arranged by the Old Master and Madam. Moreover, the Shen family is an excellent family, and Young Master Shen is rarely talented, handsome, and reputed to have a good character. Why do you not wish to marry?" Nanny Hao was getting anxious. If the young lady did not marry into the Shen family, could she live forever in Ma’s Mansion? That certainly would not work. If so, how would the young lady’s future be? What about those who followed her?
