Guide to Failing as a Full-Level Green Tea-Chapter 286.1 - We Cannot
Shen Roujia slowly gazed into the distance, as if she had fallen into a long dream. She didn’t even know what she truly wanted anymore. At this moment, all she wished for was to drift into a deep sleep and pull herself back from these fantasies.
As she pondered this, Shen Roujia began to doubt her own thoughts, but she still wanted to keep her feelings hidden.
Footsteps echoed from outside the door, and Shen Roujia slowly turned over.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Wen Surong frowned deeply. “What did you say?”
Tu Lie also wore a dark expression as he questioned the person standing before them.
The man lowered his head, trembling slightly. “Although the Emperor of the Great Zhou has agreed to open trade, he has also proposed a marriage alliance.”
Wen Surong’s frown deepened. “That’s impossible. Back then, I discussed all the terms with those from the Gu family before the war. How could things change now?”
The man lowered his head further. “My Lord, I am unsure. These matters are still just rumors on their side, and our spies are not entirely certain. No envoy has arrived yet.”
Wen Surong furrowed his brow. Currently, Shen Roujia was the only princess, and if a marriage alliance were truly on the table, the Northern Border, already sparse in population, would be further weakened.
The Great Zhou had been a benefactor to the Northern Border. Without their assistance, the Northern Border wouldn’t have been unified. Wen Surong understood that one day, the Northern Border might become a vassal of the Great Zhou. This proposed marriage alliance wasn’t entirely unfounded.
Such an alliance would ensure that for at least a century, there would be no major conflicts between the Northern Border and the Great Zhou. It would also solve the problem of feeding millions.
Wen Surong was a man with a broad perspective, but the situation wasn’t set in stone, so it was still too early to draw any conclusions. Shen Roujia herself wasn’t clear on what she wanted. Even if Wen Surong told her about this matter, it would only sadden her.
Shen Roujia didn’t know what her father was thinking, but for now, she continued to live in a daze.

Wen Surong waved his hand, dismissing the man. “I don’t want to hear this from anyone else. You’d better keep your mouth shut.”
The man nodded and respectfully retreated.
