Gu Yu jumped off the carriage and headed straight to Guangfu Restaurant.
Mo Qing and the others surrounded the carriage. They were all tall and strong, so inevitably, they attracted a lot of attention from the passers-by. Shen Miao lifted the curtain to get some air, but her gaze was attracted by someone.
That person probably just came out of Guangfu Restaurant. He was holding a bag of snacks. When his gaze met Shen Miao’s, he couldn’t help but be stunned.
It was Pei Lang.
Shen Miao had not been to Guangwen Hall for a long time. She did not want to win the reputation of a talented woman, nor did she want to get an academic title. She had been busy with her own matters these days and had forgotten about everything else. She looked at Pei Lang and nodded at him slightly.
Pei Lang was stunned for a moment. Ming Qi paid special attention to the respect for teachers. Even if students like Xie Jingxing had to be polite to their teachers. However, Shen Miao’s nod just now gave Pei Lang the illusion that she was his teacher while he was her student.
Before he could react, Shen Miao had already lowered the curtain. Mo Qing and the others noticed Pei Lang looking at the carriage and became instantly wary.
Pei Lang stood rooted to the ground. He was supposed to flare up when he was treated as such by his student. However, for some reason, other than feeling a little sad, he didn’t feel anything else.
Shaking his head, Pei Lang walked away.
Knowing that the person outside the carriage had left, Shen Miao lowered her eyes and looked at her sleeve, deep in thought. She had mixed feelings about Pei Lang. She hated Pei Lang for his inaction when Wanyu and Fu Ming were unfairly treated by Fu Xiuyi, but she also knew that Pei Lang was just being loyal to his emperor and did what he thought was right. However, it was all in the past. Since she still had a use for Pei Lang in this life, she shouldn’t dwell on this matter.
While she was thinking, Gu Yu had already returned.
When they returned to the Shen family’s mansion, it was not too late. Shen Qiu was also staying in the west courtyard. Shen Miao planned to send some snacks to Shen Qiu. When she walked to the hall, she happened to see Ren Wanyun helping Shen Qing out. Ren Wanyun looked at Shen Miao with undisguised killing intents, and Shen Qing’s gaze was extremely vicious. Even Gu Yu and Jingzhe couldn’t help but shiver and subconsciously step forward to protect Shen Miao.
“Shen Miao, you haven’t gone to pay your respect to Old Madam these days.” Ren Wanyun said, “Did you forget something so basic as respecting your elders?”
Shen Miao glanced at her. Ren Wanyun was like a mad dog now, biting whoever she found displeasing to the eyes. On one hand, she was afraid of Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan, and on the other hand, she wanted to seek justice for her daughter.
However, Shen Miao was not scared by her. She smiled and looked at Ren Wanyun. “Second Aunt, it’s surprising that you still have the extra energy to worry about me. Eldest Sister is going to marry Prince Yu next month. Don’t you need to teach her some surviving skills? After all, she’s not marrying someone ordinary but Prince Yu. You know what he’s capable of.”
With that, she left with Jingzhe and Gu Yu without looking back.
Ren Wanyun was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Over the past few days, the angrier she was, the more confused she felt. She did not even have the time to care about how much Shen Gui doted on that Concubine Wan. Chen Dongling, the illegitimate daughter born to Concubine Wan, was no longer as gloomy as before. She would spend time preparing food for Shen Gui from time to time. With Shen Qing as a contrast, she looked like a much more likable daughter. On the other hand, Ren Wanyun and Shen Qing became more and more annoying.
