His peaceful sister, An Jing, had been missing for half a year, but there had been no news of him even after he had searched the entire capital. The family was in despair. They had not left home for half a year. Tonight was still the first time he would be able to attend a banquet.

The little girl known as An Jing was not in the least emotional as she coldly watched Shen Qiu Bai put on an act.

”Ah, extremely hypocritical.” She looked contemptuously at Prime Minister Shen and his daughter, as if she was looking at some trash that polluted one's eyes. The last person he saw on the day his elder sister disappeared was Shen Qiubai. Although his father had explained that his elder sister's disappearance had nothing to do with him, he still didn't know the role that this scheming woman played.

Shen Qiubai knew that when An Jing was kidnapped, she was there to resent him, so she touched her nose to urge her father on instead of asking for trouble.

Prime Minister Shen had an unpleasant expression on his face after being mocked by a little girl. However, it would be disgraceful to argue with a girl, so he just stuck it in his mouth like a fly.

”Father, let's leave quickly. There might be people out on the streets taking advantage of the situation. Besides, the empress has personally sent an invitation. If we were late, the empress would be angry.”

Minister An was slightly stunned, he obviously did not expect that Shen Qiubai would give him face in front of so many people. He scratched his horse's mane awkwardly, ”That's right, I was too concerned about my niece's illness to remember the empress's banquet.” On the other hand, as an elder, I am too insensible, please forgive me. ”

Prime Minister Shen had succeeded in turning the tables around, and his attitude wasn't as stiff as before.

”No, not at all. I have been living for a long time in Qiu Bai's house recently. How could he be so well-mannered by Minister An?” ”My daughter is fine, please don't bother …”

Minister An knew that he couldn't care less about Shen Cheng and his daughter. He shook his head as he took a detour behind his father, Prime Minister Shen.

”Very well, if you can do so, the empress won't be able to do anything to you.”

Prime Minister Shen was very satisfied with his daughter's reaction. Her neither arrogant nor impetuous attitude was worthy of him plotting.

Thinking about this, he asked again, ”If you enter the palace, I wonder how many people you will have to be careful. ”Don't overdo it.” Just like Imperial Concubine Jin, only death awaits after glory.

Prime Minister Shen only had Shen Qiu Bai as his only daughter. Back then, Prime Minister Shen was depressed and had no ambition, thus he chose to seek the throne. As far as he was concerned, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not sacrifice Shen Qiubai. It could only be said that kinship and monstrous power were not worth mentioning.

The wheels continued to rotate, swaying leisurely to the entrance of the palace. After walking through an arch, Prime Minister Shen could no longer see him off.

”Prime Minister Shen, please hold your steps!”

A young eunuch hurriedly ran over with a flattering smile on his face. He hugged his horsetail whisk and hurriedly bowed to the two of them.

”It's a coincidence that Shen Xiang is here. This servant is on my way to the Residence of Prime Minister to invite Shen Xiang here.”

”Yes.” Prime Minister Shen replied to his enthusiasm in a neutral tone and looked at Shen Qiu Bai with concern.

How could Shen Qiubai not know what he meant?

Shen Qiu Bai had long since been reluctant to accompany Prime Minister Shen's father-daughter relationship. He nodded his head immediately.

”Since your Imperial Majesty has matters to discuss with father, then your daughter will be leaving first.”

After which, he turned around and the gentle smile on Shen Qiu Bai's face remained by his lips.

Unfortunately, Father, I am destined to let you down.

I have had enough of living under the control of others!

After bidding his farewells to Prime Minister Shen, Shen Qiu Bai leisurely walked a few steps forward before being called out to, bringing with him the calmness and calmness of a young maid.

”Miss Shen?!”

Hm?
