875 Concealment (4)
Ever since Shen Xin took on the new post, he did not go to the Ministry of War every day. Shen Qiu was still in his old position and was a small leader in the garrison with Luo Ling.
Luo Xueyan said to Shen Xin, “Why don’t we ask His Majesty to allow us to go back to Spring City?” Luo Xueyan sighed. “At least in Spring City, we won’t waste time like this.”
Shen Xin shook his head. “His Majesty asked us to stay in the capital so that he can keep an eye on us. He won’t let us return to Spring City. Only when we are in the capital can he have something to threaten Jiaojiao.”
Luo Xueyan vaguely felt that Shen Xin was hinting at something. Just as she was about to ask, she heard Shen Xin continue with a sigh, “Besides, there’s no news of Tan’s whereabouts yet. If we really go back, how can we explain it to her family?”
“That’s true.” At the mention of this, Luo Xueyan felt a headache coming on. “I’ve already sent someone to send a letter to Jiaojiao. I don’t know if he can make it in time. It takes time for that person to make a round trip. I feel uneasy that there’s no news yet.”
On the day Shen Miao left the capital, Luo Tan did not come to send her off. She said that it was because Shen Miao refused to bring her to the Daliang Dynasty, so she was sulking, and she did not want to see the farewell scene with her own eyes. Luo Tan had always been a little willful, and everyone was helpless. After Shen Miao left the capital that day, it was already evening when everyone returned. Luo Tan’s maid said that Luo Tan was already asleep. Luo Xueyan thought that Luo Tan was unhappy, so she did not disturb her.
The next day, at noon, Luo Tan still refused to go out with the excuse that she was not feeling well. Luo Xueyan finally realized that something was wrong. When she went to look for her again, she saw Luo Tan’s maid kneeling down and begging for mercy with a letter in her hand.
Luo Tan left a letter and followed her cousin to the Daliang Dynasty.
Luo Xueyan was shocked and quickly sent someone to chase after Luo Tan. However, Shen Miao and Prince Rui traveled very fast, and she did not know when the person would catch up. There was no news for a month, and Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were still worried about this.
“I just hope that when the letter reaches Jingxing, he can get some reliable people to send Tan back,” Luo Xueyan said.
…
It was evening, and the wedding procession had to stop to rest. Shen Miao was arranged to stay in a farmer’s house, but Luo Tan was not having a good time.
She mixed in among the servants. Growing up in the Luo army, she didn’t have the temperament of a girl. After she disguised herself, no one could tell that she was a girl. However, every night, she had to put up with a lot. The servants were not like Shen Miao, who had a room of her own. Instead, they had to cram together in a shed.
