Ren Wanyun sneered in her heart. As a father, Shen Gui was really heartless. How could the Huang family be considered a good family? Although she had long known that her husband valued benefits over anything else, thinking about it now, Ren Wanyun still felt a chill run down her spine.
However, this was not the time for her to think about this. She wiped her eyes and said, “Master is right. I was wrong. The family that you chose is naturally the best. I didn’t want to marry off Qing to that family at first, but now I think it’s not a bad thing for her.”
Shen Gui was stunned for a moment before looking at her in disbelief. “You agreed?” Ren Wanyun loved her daughter so much. How could she agree to this marriage so easily?
“Yes.” A sad expression appeared on Ren Wanyun’s face. “With Qing like this, no good family will want her in the future. After thinking about it, I think the Huang family is not bad. At least, after marrying over, Qing won’t suffer.” After saying that, she tugged at her sleeve and cried softly.
Seeing Ren Wanyun like this, Shen Gui felt relieved and believed what Ren Wanyun said. Now, Shen Qing was no longer a virgin, and the Huang family just needed a legitimate daughter of a noble family to take the position of Young Madam Huang to deceive the outside world. After Shen Qing married Huang Dexing, she would have no worries for the rest of her life. Although as a woman, she might not be able to consummate her marriage, after that kind of thing happened, who would still want her?
At the thought of this, Shen Gui sighed and walked to Ren Wanyun’s side. He patted her back and comforted her, “It’s good that you’ve thought it through. Qing is my daughter after all. I won’t harm her. Master Huang and I are friends. I’ll ask him to take care of QIng. If Qing marries, she won’t suffer.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you to mention it to Master Huang and ask the Huang family to send someone over to talk about marriage.”
“So soon?” Shen Gui was a little surprised.
“Qing is already like this. How can we wait?” Ren Wanyun sighed. “The longer we wait, the more likely people will find out. After all, Qing hasn’t been out for a long time. If she marries into the Huang family, she can at least hide it. Moreover,” Ren Wanyun rubbed her chest, “I’ve been feeling uneasy all the time ever since Qing became pregnant.”

Seeing her nervous expression, Shen Gui pondered for a moment and said, “You’re right. We can’t wait. In that case, I’ll write to Lord Huang today and mention this matter.”
“I’m counting on you, Master,” Ren Wanyun said meekly.
Shen Gui said a few more words before leaving in satisfaction. Today, Ren Wanyun apologized and did as he said, making him feel much better. The gloominess he had been feeling for the past few days was gone.
After Shen Gui left Rosy Cloud Garden, Xianglan closed the door and said in a panic, “Madam, is it really good to hide it from Master?”
Ren Wanyun made Shen Gui think that Shen Qing was really willing to marry Huang Dexing, but she did not tell him about her plans to swap Shen Qing and Shen Miao’s husband. In this way, Shen Qing would marry the real good man, Wei Qian, and Shen Miao would marry Huang Dexing.

She naturally couldn’t let Shen Gui know about this, because he would not take the risk in doing anything that might affect his career. However, for her daughter, Ren Wanyun would do anything.
