477 Guessed It (2)
Ah Zhi found an ordinary carriage for Shen Miao. This carriage was not eye-catching, and no one would recognize it as the Shen family’s carriage. Yesterday, Shen Miao offended Princess Ming An from the State of Qin. Princess Ming An and Huangfu Hao lived in Yanqing Alley, which was not far from here. If they bumped into each other, Princess Ming An would cause trouble for Shen Miao. This princess was very arrogant. There were many guards from the State of Qin. If anything really happened, it would be too late by the time Shen Xin and his wife rushed over.
However, Ah Zhi was still very puzzled. After being away from the capital for two years, if anyone in the capital had a relationship with Shen Miao, it would be the eldest daughter of the Feng family, Feng Anning. However, today, Shen Miao rejected Feng Anning’s invitation. She was obviously not going to see Feng Anning. Ah Zhi’s thoughts ran wild. If Shen Miao was really going to meet a strange young man in private, Ah Zhi thought that he would tell Shen Qiu about it no matter what. It was not easy for their Shen family to have such a talented and beautiful girl. How could she be taken away by an unknown boy?
Unexpectedly, Shen Miao was going to the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop.
Just like two years ago, the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop was still empty. After all, not everyone had treasures to pawn here.
Shen Miao got out of the carriage, followed by Ah Zhi. Jingzhe and Gu Yu also jumped down. Before Ah Zhi could size up the shop, he saw that Shen Miao was already walking into the pawnshop.
The shop assistant, who was still wiping the dust on the table with a handkerchief, saw four people walking over. The person in the lead was wearing a cloak. She pulled down the hood of the cloak, revealing a stunned and delicate face. She was clearly a pampered girl from a rich family, and her noble aura was not to be underestimated. He smiled ingratiatingly and said, “Miss, are you pawning something?”
Shen Miao glanced at him. The previous shop assistant had already been replaced. She heard that ever since she went to Spring City, the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop closed for two years. It had only reopened not long ago, but she did not know if Miss Hong Ling and Ji Yushu were still around. She said, “I’m looking for Hong Ling.”
The shop assistant was stunned for a moment before carefully sizing up Shen Miao again. Shen Miao looked at him calmly. The shop assistant paused for a moment and quickly said, “Miss, please wait a moment.” He turned around and entered the back hall.
A moment later, a woman in red came over, followed by the shop assistant. She was still wearing a red dress and looked quite charming, even more charming than two years ago. When she saw Shen Miao, her eyes narrowed and she suddenly smiled. “It’s been a long time since we last met. Miss, you’re getting more and more dazzling that I can’t even open her eyes.”
Shen Miao nodded slightly, and Hong Ling smiled again and said, “As usual, Miss, follow me, but…” She pointed at Ah Zhi and said with a charming smile,” This big guy must stay here.”
Ah Zhi was not as cold as Mo Qing. He blushed when he was pointed at by a flirtatious lady boss like Hong Ling. However, he still insisted, “Miss, I’ll go with you.”
“Wait here.” Shen Miao said, “I’m going to see a friend. Jingzhe and Gu Yu will be by my side.” Her tone was firm, so Ah Zhi could not refute.
When Hong Ling saw this, a strange look flashed across her eyes. She probably did not expect the guard Shen Miao brought to be so obedient to her. Moreover, be it Mo Qing or Ah Zhi, they all respected Shen Miao from the bottom of their hearts. A capable subordinate would more or less be a little arrogant, but in front of Shen Miao, these people were humble.
