809 Identity (4)
Shen Miao said, “Stop reading so many novels.”
Luo Tan rested her chin on her hands. “That Prince Rui is quite capable. At that time, Aunt and Uncle looked for you for a few days but to no avail, but he found you immediately. In our Luo family, we only look at people’s ability. He’s a capable man. I heard that he’s very good-looking, which is even better. Many good-looking men are useless. For example, Doctor Gao, who often comes to our mansion, is quite good-looking. However, at a glance, you can tell that he’s weak. Such a man is unreliable.”
Cong Yang, who was listening with interest on the tree branch outside, almost fell down. He wondered how Young Master Gao would feel after hearing this…
“Enough of that.” Shen Miao glanced at her. “What exactly do you want to say?”
“Cousin, I knew you were the smartest! In the entire Shen family. You know me the best!” Luo Tan looked at Shen Miao expectantly. “I only have one wish. When you go to the Daliang Dynasty, bring me along!”
Shen Miao asked in disbelief, “What did you say?”
“I’ve never been to the Daliang Dynasty.” Luo Tan said, “But I’ve heard that the Daliang Dynasty is a good place with a lot of delicious food and fun things. Brother Ling and I came to the capital to broaden our horizons. The more places we see, the better.”
Shen Miao said, “You were the one who secretly climbed into the carriage.”
Luo Tan said, “If you still treat me as your cousin, bring me along!”
“No,” Shen Miao said firmly.
In the next hour, Shen Miao was pestered by Luo Tan. When she went to the Daliang Dynasty, although she had Xie Jingxing, Shen Miao knew that it might not be a smooth journey. No one knew what would happen in the future, so she didn’t want to drag Luo Tan into it.
After Luo Tan left, Shen Miao sighed and opened the window. Outside, the trees were swaying, and the winter night was cold.
Xie Jingxing is really something, she thought. He took the initiative to “impose an imperial edict” without even letting her know in advance. Not only did he succeed in getting an imperial edict, but he was also gone. What did he mean by not showing up at this time when an explanation was needed?
Shen Miao closed the window with a bang.
The bang was so loud that Cong Yang dug his ears. He thought that Young Madam was probably on her period, which was why she was so moody…
On the other side, in Shen Xin’s courtyard, Shen Xin was also discussing this with Luo Xueyan.
Shen Xin said, “Going to the Daliang Dynasty with Jiaojiao?”
Luo Xueyan nodded. “If we’re not by Jiaojiao’s side, when Jiaojiao is in danger, we can’t help her in time. Back then… wasn’t there a young lady who married into another country and was killed? It wasn’t until years later did her family find out.”
“How dare they!” Shen Xin was furious. Then, he suppressed his anger and said, “I can go, but I’m afraid the emperor won’t let me go.”
Luo Xueyan lowered her voice. “Now that the situation in the Daliang Dynasty and Ming Qi is so tense, if we go to the Daliang Dynasty together, the emperor will definitely think that we’ve changed sides… It’s indeed inappropriate. But is there really no other way?”
Helpless, Shen Xin turned his back to Luo Xueyan and looked at the calligraphy on the wall.
It was the calligraphy given to him by Old General Shen, on which “Loyalty to the Country” was written.
He was loyal, and he served his country diligently, but what did he get? The teaching of the Shen family was that if the emperor wanted them to die, they had no choice but to die. But why did he feel regret at this moment?
