No matter how grand the banquet was, it would eventually end. When they were drunk, the guests left in groups of two or three. Shen Miao also got into the carriage and went back home.

Luo Xueyan remained silent in the carriage. She seemed to have thought of something and held Shen Miao’s hand, asking, “Jiaojiao, what… does the ideal man in your mind look like?”

It was actually a little out of line for a mother to ask her unmarried daughter this question. However, today, she was quite sentimental, probably due to Shen Qing’s wedding. She wasn’t in the capital all year round. Now that she thought about it, she actually knew nothing about what Shen Miao was thinking. She only knew that Shen Miao had once been in love with Prince Ding. Luo Xueyan had also seen Prince Ding. He was indeed an excellent young man. However, a person like him must have a strong ambition. Marrying such a person might not be a good thing.

Shen Miao was stunned for a moment before looking at Luo Xueyan with a smile. “Mother, what kind of person do you want me to marry?”

Luo Xueyan did not expect Shen Miao to ask her this question. For a moment, she neglected the fact that when Shen Miao was asked this question, she didn’t blush at all. She thought for a moment and said, “I hope you can marry a person with an upright character. He’d better not have too much power, too much wealth, too much ambition, and a complicated family. Power and wealth, your father and I will give you. Man with less ambition will treat you more sincerely. If his father is a simple one, after you marry him, you will not have to be wary of scheming people all the time. In short, he has to respect and love you sincerely.”

Shen Miao lowered her eyes and smiled. Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin’s hopes had never changed. They hoped that Shen Miao could marry an ordinary person. The most they wanted from their son-in-law was to dote on their daughter and love her. Unfortunately, in her previous life, she was blinded by love. There were thousands of men in the world, but she chose the one who loved her the least.

“However,” Luo Xueyan said with a smile, “I know that girls your age don’t love people like that. You probably like people who stand out from a crowd. When I was your age, I also liked young and handsome heroes. However, after I married your father, I didn’t regret it.”

“In that case, I’ll listen to you,” Shen Miao said softly.

Luo Xueyan was stunned. “What?”

Shen Miao looked at her and said word by word, “Isn’t it your wish for me to marry an ordinary person who will love and respect me? In that case, when I reach the age of marriage, I’ll marry such a person.”

Luo Xueyan held Shen Miao’s hand and couldn’t help but feel a little strange. Shen Miao was like a completely different person from before. She was more obedient and gentle. Luo Xueyan should be very happy about her daughter’s change, but for some reason, she was not happy at all. Instead, she felt heartbroken to see her daughter getting so mature in an age where she was supposed to be naughty and rebellious.

Luo Xueyan pulled Shen Miao into her arms and said in a low voice, “Even so, at your age, you should follow your heart and marry someone you truly like. I know that the man my daughter chooses will be the best. He will definitely love and respect you. As long as he treats you well, I won’t stop you no matter who the man is.”

Shen Miao buried her head in Luo Xueyan’s arms and said in a faint voice, “Thank you, Mom.”
