Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 1153 Side Story, Agreed Secretly (3)
The girl in the mirror had a beautiful face. She had big eyes, a beautiful nose, and the corners of her lips were slightly curled.

She was not afraid of anyone except the Shen siblings. In everyone’s eyes, Shen Qiu was the kindest person and was the easiest to talk to. What was she afraid of?

She was actually not afraid of Shen Qiu, but rather, she was afraid of herself. In Shen Qiu’s eyes, she might be arrogant and useless.

When you fell in love with someone, you would always review yourself in your mind over and over again. If the other party was very outstanding, you would doubt yourself and whether you were worthy of him. You carefully wanted to show the best side of yourself in front of him and work hard, but you still couldn’t help but feel uncertain, afraid that you would make a mistake.

However, the more nervous you were, the more likely you would make a fool of yourself. She was afraid that Shen Qiu would hate her for what happened to Shen Miao, so when Shen Qiu thanked her, she was immediately filled with joy.

However, she felt that it was probably impossible between the two of them because Shen Qiu didn’t find her special.

Unexpectedly, Shen Miao was suddenly going to get married and was planning to go to the Daliang Dynasty.

Not only did this mean that she would have one less friend in the capital from now on, but it also meant that she would no longer have a reason to go to the Shen mansion to see Shen Qiu.

Feng Anning was very sad.

…

No one expected the situation in the capital to change so drastically.

Overnight, Emperor Wen Hui fell seriously ill, and Prince Ding, Fu Xiuyi, seized power. The princes were either dead, convicted, injured, or dead.

Feng Anning did not know what was going on, but she could see her father’s serious expression and how busy her brothers were every day.

One day, Mr. Feng called Feng Anning into the study and said to her, “Anning, you’re not young anymore. You’re old enough to get married.”

Feng Anning was sensitive enough to guess what Mr. Feng was going to say next. However, this was too sudden for her. Without thinking, Feng Anning immediately replied, “Father, I don’t want to get married yet. I want to be with Father, Mother, and Brothers.”

This time, Mr. Feng, who had always doted on her, did not go along with her. Instead, he said, “Silly child, what kind of girl stays at home and doesn’t get married? Do you want to be a spinster? When your cousin comes to the capital in a few days, show him around.”

Feng Anning had never been a calm person. She immediately stood up and said excitedly, “Father, what do you mean?”

“Why are you reacting so strongly?” Mr. Feng frowned. “What’s wrong with you showing your cousin around?”

Feng Anning said, “Why didn’t you ask Eldest Brother and Second Brother to receive him and show him around. I’m not going!”
