Xie Jingxing nodded.

…

The Shen family was a big family in the capital. In the past, they had many colleagues who were in close contact with them. Given how much of an influential figure Shen xIn was, many people wanted to suck up to him. However, when a tree fell, the monkeys would scatter. This time, Shen Xin was clearly demoted and forced out of the capital. Other than the few officials who were extremely close to Shen Xin, no one came to send him off.

Shen Miao took a trip to Guangwen Hall herself.

Once she set off, she naturally could not attend Guangwen Hall anymore. After her performance in the yearly test, many students of Guangwen Hall changed their opinions of Shen Miao and were a little afraid of her. However, when they heard that the Shen family’s military power was confiscated, they started ridiculing Shen Miao openly again. However, Shen Miao walked past them without looking back, as if she did not hear them.

Feng Anning cried when she saw her. She grabbed her sleeve and said, “Shen Miao, when will you come back?”

Shen Miao was a little at a loss for what to do with Feng Anning’s tears. In her previous life, because of her stupidity, the noble ladies in the capital were unwilling to befriend her. In this life, she became indifferent to friendship and did not deliberately try to please anyone. Feng Anning was a friend Shen Miao made by accident. Although she was a little arrogant, she did not have any evil intentions towards Shen Miao. Sometimes, looking at her, Shen Miao would even think of Wanyu.

She comforted Feng Anning. “I won’t be gone for too long.”

“You are lying.” Feng Anning sobbed. “I heard from my father that General Shen really angered His Majesty this time. How can he be allowed to back so quickly… Shen Miao, you have to write me letters every now and then. When you come back, will I already be married?”

Shen Miao almost laughed out loud. Looking at Feng Anning’s red eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to laugh. She knew better than anyone what would happen to Feng Anning later on. Although the Feng family wouldn’t fall in two years,… She patted Feng Anning’s shoulder. “It’s fine. I promise you I will be there on your wedding day.”

Feng Anning wanted to say something, but she saw Pei Lang walk in with a book. Pei Lang was dressed in green. His gaze landed on Shen Miao. He paused for a moment and said, “Shen Miao, come with me.”

It was only right for Shen Miao to bid goodbye to her teacher, so no one felt that there was anything wrong. Feng Anning reluctantly let go of Shen Miao’s hand.

Pei Lang brought Shen Miao to a triangular courtyard of Guangwen Hall. The teachers of Guangwen Hall lived inside the school. This was Pei Lang’s own courtyard, and no one could enter. He pushed the door open and walked into the nearest study. Shen Miao followed him in and closed the door at the right time.

“Are you leaving?” This time, Pei Lang did not beat around the bush and asked bluntly.

Shen Miao nodded.

Pei Lang’s expression changed. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “The thing about Liu Ying…”

“Miss Liu Ying has already been settled.” Shen Miao interrupted him. “She’s doing very well in the embroidery shop. Her double-sided embroidery is outstanding. In the future, she can definitely make a living with her embroidery skills. She might be able to take in a few apprentices.”

Pei Lang gradually relaxed. Shen Xin’s family was about to leave the capital. What he was afraid of was that Liu Ying’s matter couldn’t be settled in time.

Shen Miao stared into his eyes and asked, “Then Mr. Pei, did you think it over?”

Pei Lang was stunned.

What Shen Miao wanted him to think over was naturally to be a spy by Fu Xiuyi’s side. That day at the Pleasure Restaurant, Pei Lang had already made his stance clear, but he had to think about it further. Hearing this, Pei Lang frowned and said, “What do you want to say exactly?”
