and many more......
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Shen Lingjun's mind, and she realized a possibility that she found utterly absurd.
He was introduced by the Wen family and was a distant relative of the Wen family. He was refined, handsome, and a very good-looking young man.
Could it be... that he was introduced to her?
Shen Lingjun immediately probed to confirm her guess: "Is my cousin married? How many children does he have?"
Wenxie's face immediately turned even redder.
"I'm not married yet. I've been engaged twice, but both times my fiancées died unexpectedly before the wedding, so I haven't been able to arrange a new marriage..."
As he spoke, he hurriedly defended himself, saying with a hint of urgency, "But I'm not a jinx! My family consulted a high-ranking monk who analyzed my destiny, and it turned out to be normal. The accidents that happened to my two previous fiancées were just coincidences!"
Shen Lingjun: "..."
Okay, she guessed right.
Moreover, judging from her cousin's appearance, he most likely really has his eye on her.
Shen Lingjun was immediately at her wit's end.
What kind of trouble is her mother up to?!
She had only been a widow for a little over a year, and before she could even enjoy a few good days, a young man came to her for a matchmaking session!
It's not that the young man is bad, but she really doesn't want to get married again!
Shen Lingjun gave a perfunctory dry laugh and said, "Judging from my cousin's upright character, he doesn't seem to be destined to bring misfortune to his wife. I believe he will definitely have a smooth marriage in the future, grow old together, and have many children and grandchildren."
She was just making a very detached, polite remark, but Wenxie, upon hearing it, somehow found herself conjuring up some wonderful associations and suddenly became excited.
"It's best that my cousin is willing to believe this... Although I heard that my cousin's previous marriage was not smooth and she met the wrong person, she will definitely find a good match in the future and have a loving marriage."
When she said the last sentence, her voice lowered, her head was down, and her face was burning red.
Shen Lingjun: "..."
The wording, the tone, the shy little expression—it's almost as if he's making it clear that he's the perfect match!
What's wrong with this guy? She's a widow! A widow with two six-year-old children! Wouldn't she be unwanted anywhere?
Doesn't he mind at all?
She's blushing right now! She's so innocent, she doesn't even know how to respond to him!
Shen Lingjun hesitated for a long time, then finally coughed, straightened his expression, and said solemnly:
“Cousin, you’re joking. I’m not exactly a chaste woman, but I do know the virtue of remaining faithful to one’s husband. Besides, I already have a son and a daughter. All I want to do for the rest of my life is raise them well. I have no other thoughts and don’t want to remarry.”
Her answer, so virtuous and chaste, should be perfectly fine and shouldn't hurt this innocent young man too much, right?
Surprisingly, the young man was not discouraged, but became even more excited.
“Cousin, you're wrong to think that way. That talk of chastity and martyrdom is a cannibalistic set of moral codes. The Marquis of Yongning wronged you back then, and you don't need to spend your life devoted to him. Life is so long, why suffer such loneliness? So what if you have two children? Those who are willing to accept you will naturally accept your children too…”
He spoke with such sincerity that his voice trembled and his eyes shone brightly.
However, this heartfelt confession was only halfway through when he suddenly froze and fell backward.
Shen Lingjun was startled. Before she could help him up, she looked up and was startled even more.
Behind him appeared none other than Mo Zhonggui!
