Chapter 118: Kiss (Part 2)
The Shen Xin's household started packing up their luggage overnight, and what made others slap the table and shout with praise, was that before leaving, they unexpectedly forced Old Shen Furen to separate the family in front of the Shen family elders
That day when Shen Xin and ere summoned to the Palace, the dispute that Shen Miao had with Old Shen Furen at the residence door, got into Shen Xin's ears and naturally he was unable to restrain his anger This opportunity of hitting someone when they were doas used very well, and he did not even bother to save any face for the other Luo Xue Yan hated that her eyes were blinded initially, and treated this entire family of dirty people, sincerely
Even though Shen Xin'sWhen he was obstinate, nine bulls would not be able to pull him back The clan leader was unable to rush over, but there were clan members present At his deathbed, the Old General Shen hoped that the entire family would live in harmony, but at the end it still collapsed and fell apart
Old Shen Furen brought out the skills she had when she was a songstress, to claim more than half of Old General Shen's assets and lands Shen Miao did not obstruct this because for so e, and those shops and lands were no longer as satisfactory as before, and on the contrary they will be a drag to leave the to the Xiao Chun City, thus these things were useless
Shen Xin did not have a lack of money as the Emperor would usually bestow heaps of it to hi books of the co been cleaned out, and did not think that at the end, Shen Miao found fro book no one knew Inside, it clearly indicated all the money that Shen Xin had supplemented over the years to the public fund
In front of the clan members, this could not be denied and in any case, Old Shen Furen had to voht of it siotten back, even if Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan had no regards for these ood to nauseate Old Shen Furen
Old Shen Furen was really so 'nauseated' that she fell ill, while Chen Rou Qiu was furious in her heart Now that Ren Wan Yun did not care about thisthe household and there was just not enough money With the return of a portion of it back to Shen Xin, if the future was not as smooth as before, one fear that Old Shen Furen would take it out on her
Shen Yue was also angry with them These days she watched as Chen Rou Qiu became utterly exhausted due to the ant and holier than thou' teed Previously, she despised ht for it It was not good to say anything in front of the clan member, thus she looked at Shen Miao and pretended to be worried, “One do not knohen Fifth Younger Sister will be back this tie of suppliers at that Xiao Chun City, and it will bad if one was not able to eat or use good stuffs It is better to bring ”
The words spoken had so to a place of suffering, but Shen Miao only laughed gently, “Correct, but the prices in the Ding capital are very high, thus in the future without His Majesty's rewards, Second Older Sister aze landed on the bracelet on Shen Yue's wrist and sift you a bracelet in the future”
Shen Yue was surprised for a moment, and looked at the bracelet on her wrist before her face flushed red This was not other bracelet but one that Shen Xin was bestowed Year after year Shen Xin would fill the common fund with the bestowments, and Shen Yue would pick out some jewellery Who knew that when she said those words, Shen Miao would be so straightforward to say that the bracelet that she earing was one of Shen Xin's things This was slapping her face in public
But this bracelet was very valuable, and Shen Yue was not willing to take it off and return it to her
Shen Miao seeentle smile, “Older Sister better not return the bracelet back, since there is no logic to recover things that were gifted One do not know if in the future there will be such a fine bracelet”
This ti by the side quietly, started to have his to turn ugly Shen Miao's words ood rewards based on his own abilities Shen Wan's career in his entire lifetime would never reach to the level of what Shen Xin had
Heto Chen Rou Qiu and Shen Yue, “Go back” Then he left without looking at Shen Miao again
Since Shen Xin would be leaving the capital and his military poas confiscated, all those fake brotherly affections and pretences, were no longer required to be kept up Shen Wan would never look at people without any value
Shen Gui was also somewhat pleased as he bowed to Shen Xin, “Eldest Brother, this Younger Brother will retreat first” His appearance of brushi+ng his sleeves and leave was so saw this and quickly pulled Shen Dong Ling to follow along, behaving like she had been for over ten years, and not because of the changes in Cai Yun Yuan
Shen Gui was one that was unable to re and flattering others In ters, he was incomparable to his son, Shen Yuan, in terms of temperament, he was incomparable to Shen Wan's tenacity and Shen Gui was also even heartless and lacked a sense of justice Once he tasted a little sweetness, he would forget the pain he suffered and thus, he was not enough to be feared
It was Shen Qiu that got angry, “What kind of people are they?”
Shen Miao s Shen Wan and Chen Rou Qiu aside and speaking of Shen Gui's branch, within two years, Shen Yuan Bo would die due to sed by Ren Wan Yun's medication, he would definitely not be able to have any in this lifetime Even if he had money or women, there would not be anyone to inherit it There were three ways to be unfilial, and having no sons was the worst At that tie both sons to quickly spread out their branches, so did Chen Rou Qiu think that she could just sit back and relax?
A wicked person would be harassed by another Leave this mess to the Shen family and let them clean themselves up
When the uard the Xiao Chun City reached the ears of Prince Ding, Fu Xiu Yi, Emperor Wen Hui had already approved it
At such a ti more The more one speak the more doubtful it will e for Shen Xin to suddenly use this tactic He had understood clearly that for so h military person on the surface, he was not one as impulsive Even if he was discontented with the confiscation of the military tally, he would not submit a memorandum the next day to leave the capital
Involuntary Fu Xiu Yi started to recall the words that Shen Yuan had warned him of
“Your Highness er Sister in the residence”
It was just that Fu Xiu Yi did not pay much attention to such a sentence at that time Now one did not know that at this time, this drifted up in his mind For Shen Xin to suddenly make such a decision, could it be that Shen Miao fuelled it behind the scene? But she was such a spoilt young lady that was raise delicately, so ould she take the initiative to head out to such a cold place like the Northwestern region?
Fu Xiu Yi was sensitive to detect that so, but was unable to exactly point out rong He only felt that things should not have developed in such a manner
The advisor beside hihness worried about that the ed? But the Shen family army is dispersed and the military tally was retrieved back, so there is no hness can rest assured to expand”
Fu Xiu Yi recovered froh Shen Xin had deviated from his plans, but at the end he was not the most iinning when Shen Miao was in love with him, since then he could use hi of love scattered,Shen Xin into his boat
But it could also be regarded as a sigh of relief If he really ained the Shen family's military power, he would have been ridiculed by everyone Fu Xiu Yi was extremely proud by nature, thus he would not allow for such a stain on him? Now that those conjectures will disperse as soon as Shen Xin leave the capital He said, “Go and recruit some more people these days”
His adviser was startled before cupping his hands and complied
Fu Xiu Yifor the world was just around the corner, it was imperative to attract more talents in the shortest possible time
Shen Xin left the capital early the next
When they left the capital, it was early in the htened Shen Xin left in secret First, it was that he did not want to put those close colleagues in a dilemoing against Emperor Wen Hui The ood to incur fury Second was that the Xiao Chun City was a thousandcapital, thus by leaving early meant that one would arrive early
Even if horses were spurred at full speed, it would take more than six months to arrive
Even though the Shen family's army was confiscated and only the front section remained, there were a nu Shen Qiu's subordinates, including Mo Qing and Ah Chi, one would not fear there would be any danger during the journey The entire journey was rather smooth Luo Xue Yan and Shen Xin were initially worried that Shen Miao would not be able to take such a long journey, and feared that during the journey she would get sick Who knew that Shen Miao did not even utter a single word of tiredness Even Shen Xin repeatedly praised, “Jiao Jiao is really hter Such a heart of steel, which other fe capital would have it?”
Luo Xue Yan rolled her eyes at hiuilty towards Shen Miao A perfectly pa lady had to follow them and suffer
Jing Zhe pushed aside the carriage's curtain Because it was her first trip far away, she was somewhat amazed and would point at the birds in the skies, and also point at the wild rabbits in the forest Seeing Shen Miao cal Lady not find it refreshi+ng? These things cannot be seen in the city”
When it was put this way, Gu Yu also took a look at Shen Miao's expression and asked te Lady look as if one did not have a little nostalgia”
Luo Xue Yan as sitting in the carriage became stunned for a moment
To leave the place that one had stayed for over ten years to a place that they had never heard before, any Young Lady at this ti for one's hometown, and be reluctant to part with it since the Xiao Chun City, would definitely not be as prosperous as the Ding capital, and one would be a stranger in a strange land But Shen Miao re, and even looked somewhat lively at times
To leave one's native place especially against one's will, what about that was lively?
Feeling Luo Xue Yan's gaze, Shen Miao was slightly surprised for ascenery outside the horse carriage, “Father, Mother and Eldest Brother are all at ic about Even if one re capital, without any loved ones, it will not be considered as home”
When the words were spoken, Luo Xue Yan's heart becaly faces of the entire Shen family in this last trip when they caht that Shen Miao had lived well after leaving her with that fa joke Perhaps Shen Miao did not view those people as family, else she would not have said these words
Thinking of this, Luo Xue Yan pulled Shen Miao into her embrace and said conscience-stricken, “Correct, in the future Jiao Jiao will always be with Father, Mother and Eldest Brother No one will dare to bully you”
Shen Miao nestled in Luo Xue Yan's e the trace of coldness in them
Leaving one's native place Starting a journey alone In the last lifetie, the , which place had she not walked alone? She brought her trustful n country, the scenery was just like today It was already very vague but she could still clearly re capital to the Qin country, fro capital, both journeys were very bleak and desolate It was pathetic that she though that she completed a virtuous cause, for the common people under heavens, but did not know that in everyone eyes, how ridiculous she was
Now she was not leaving alone and when she return, she would definitely not be alone too
The ly the skies turn dark Because this was a mountain route and there was no tavern in the mountains, one could only stay in a family's farmhouse It was fortunate that this farmer's family was hospitable and friendly They had warmly received them, and even cooked up a number of dishes
Because of the need to hasten the journey, Shen Xin and the rest did not dare to drink, fearing thatand delay the departure the next day It was however Shen Miao, not sure it was because one was in a good , that she drank a few cups and her cheeks became the colour of a peach
“Why did Jiao Jiao drink this much?” Luo Xue Yan initially did not pay any attention thus when she saw it, she could not help but be shocked She watched as Shen Miao supported her face with her hand, and had a drowsy look on before quickly reach out to touch her head
“Most likely Lady is not aware of the power of this wine” The hed, “This homereat When our fahter drink in excess, she would also be drunk However one only need to sleep the entire night and on the second day, one will not be dizzy so Furen need not worry”
Luo Xue Yan then calmed down Shen Qiu saw Shen Miao's drunk appearance and felt that it was funny, “Did not expect that there will be a day when Younger Sister will be drunk Really interesting”
This time when Shen Qiu came back, he saw a calm and quiet Shen Miao She was so sole illusion that Shen Miao was the older one At tih she was stubborn and rude, she still had the te her look like this, Shen Qiu thought about the Shen Miao before and felt closer
“Brat” Shen Xin stepped onto Shen Qiu's foot, “Your Younger Sister is already this drunk and you still make trouble?”
Shen Qiu quickly stuck his tongue out and pretended to ask for mercy The entire fa in noise cheerfully Where was the disappoint one's native place'?
Shen Miao propped her chin with both hands and squinted at the scene in front Even though this plu, she was still so went according to plan, one part was letting Shen Xincapital, that whirlpool of trouble, and the other was because in one year later there will be a s happened to them in the last lifetile risk with her fa far froe, one need to first protect the family
This lively ht and they only dispersed when it was late The passionate farinally Luo Xue Yan was to rooether with Shen Miao, but Shen Miaoin the room next to the farmer's courtyard wall, and also that she must sleep alone That room was separated and far apart from others If she was to stay in it, then she would be separated from Luo Xue Yan and the rest
At first Shen Xin felt that it was not good as he feared that when there was danger, one would not be able to come to rescue, but one did not knohat caly insisted to stay in that roohed, “Most likely, Young Lady want to look at the flowers on the wall and the scene of falling snohich is especially beautiful All feh our place is s Lady, it is alright to station a few uards outside the door”
Everyone then became aware that when one open theof the rooarden that has peach blosso snowflakes, it was indeed a very beautiful scene
Shen Qiu felt funny and was in a good mood as he pinched Shen Miao's nose, “Delicate (Chinese pronunciation: Jiao Qi) bundle It is no wonder why you are called Jiao Jiao Already drunk but still look for a place with a good scenery”
Luo Xue Yan srily, “Do not anyhow touch” She then looked at the somewhat confused drunk Shen Miao and shook her head, “Not willing to sleep with me and still want to sleep at such a far place Fine Let Mo Qing, Ah Chi and a few to build a tent and guard outside the night Jing Zhe and Gu Yu go help Young Lady to change before co back out”
This far capital as there were sleeping quarters and an outer residence Jing Zhe and Gu Yu will be sleeping the night at the outer residence Luo Xue Yan and Shen Xin were not harsh people, thus they did not let Jing Zhe and Gu Yu sleep on the floor and stay in Shen Miao's roo, with Ah Chi, Mo Qing and the rest keeping watch outside, there would not be any problems
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu helped Shen Miao change her clothes and wash up before leaving the roo, Ah Chi and the rest had already set up the tent in the courtyard outside and took turns to stay in vigil Jing Zhe and Gu Yu went up to nag at the
In that rooant scenery', only Shen Miao remained
Shen Miao who had been helped by Jing Zhe up to the couch, suddenly got up
The aftereffects of the plum blossom wine finally kicked in at this moment, and Shen Miao's clear eyes were suddenly in chaos She stood up wobbling as she walked towards the s, but she alainst the table corner and fell on the floor
In the darkness, a pair of powerful arht aroma of another A familiar voice sounded by her ear with a faint sense of banter, “Even throw one's body against another”
