Chapter 1105 - 353: Cousin, Child_3
Thinking that the day after tomorrow was New Year’s Eve, and her close friend had braved the heavy snow to visit, it surely wasn’t just for a simple check-up. Mo Yan took the initiative and asked, "In this kind of weather, your father and mother allowed you to come out, you must have something else on your mind, right?"
Liu Tinglan hesitated before nodding and said somewhat embarrassingly, "Brother Shen didn’t place high in the exams this year and is planning to try again the year after next. Seeing him studying so hard day and night, it’s really tough, so I wanted to ask if you know any Grand Scholars who could give Brother Shen some guidance."
"Tsk tsk, you’re already worrying about him before you’ve even married into the family," Mo Yan clicked her tongue and looked at her friend whose cheeks were flushed with feigned depression, "I wonder if Brother Shen did something in his past life to save people, to have met a wife like you who thinks of him wholeheartedly. Ah, getting a mouthful of dog food first thing in the morning, it really suffocates the heart."
Upon finishing, Mo Yan even clutched at her chest as if she was deeply struck.
"What nonsense are you spouting, I haven’t even married Brother Shen yet, what wife, not wife," said Liu Tinglan annoyed as she picked up a large pillow and threw it at Mo Yan. She was already used to her friend randomly spouting all sorts of strange words, although she didn’t fully understand them, she was more or less accustomed to it.
Mo Yan reached out her hand and caught the pillow steadily, then tossed it back, "If it weren’t for that sudden incident in the Shen family, wouldn’t you be Brother Shen’s wife by now?"
The wedding between Liu Tinglan and Shen Ji was originally set for December, but during November, Shen Ji’s aunt suddenly passed away. Although Shen Ji didn’t have to observe the three-year mourning period, if there was a death in the family or among relatives, auspicious events for that year had to be avoided to prevent bad luck. As a result, their wedding was delayed and rescheduled for after the New Year.
The specific auspicious day would be set after the New Year, and it seemed the wedding would take place at the latest by March.
