657 Holding Hands (2)
“Mother, what do you plan to do?” Shen Yue could tell that Chen Ruoqiu was up to something and asked.
Chen Ruoqiu sneered and replied, “Just wait and see. I came over just to tell you that I’m relieved to see you doing fine.”
Shen Yue could not get anything out of Chen Ruoqiu, so she didn’t ask further.
…
A few days later, the capital seemed to have returned to normal. Nothing new happened, but it was almost the end of the year, and the people buying new year goods on the streets gradually increased.
Luo Tan was very happy that she got to go out and buy new year goods. Ever since the last incident, Shen Xin told Shen Miao and Luo Tan not to go out. If they wanted to go out, they had to bring a lot of guards with them. This was a little boring. Feng Anning also felt extremely guilty because of what happened last time, so after she went to apologize, she stopped asking the two of them out. Luo Tan was bored in the mansion. Later, she followed Luo Ling and Shen Qiu to the training ground to see the soldiers train. She dressed like a man, and with Shen Qiu and Luo Ling by her side, she was safe.
Shen Miao stayed quietly in her room. She did not like to join the crowd, nor did she like to shop on the street. Being alone was the most relaxing for her.
On this day, Mo Qing came back from outside and said that Chang Zaiqing’s husband and son had already been brought to the capital. Because he wanted to prevent them from being seen, he did not bring them to the mansion.
Shen Miao said, “You did very well.” She remembered that in her previous life, Chang Zaiqing’s husband was a gambling addict and looked a little rough.
Mo Qing asked Shen Miao, “Miss, when do you plan to visit the father and son?”
There must be a reason why Shen Miao brought this father and son to the capital.
Just as Shen Miao was about to answer, she suddenly thought of something and paused.
In Pei Lang’s letter, it mentioned that Fu Xiuyi asked Shen Wan to matchmake her and Prince Zhou. What method would Shen Wan use? Although Shen Miao did not know, she could more or less guess that it was just some dirty tricks. Therefore, outside the mansion, there might be danger everywhere. These days, it had been peaceful. Perhaps it was because she had never gone out at all. If she went out, they would seize the opportunity.
She was not so bold as to jump into a fire pit when she knew there was a fire pit. Moreover, it was not easy to explain herself once she got involved with a prince.
Shen Miao asked, “How many trained people like you are there in the mansion?”
Mo Qing was stunned for a moment before frowning. “Young Master should have some capable subordinates. Master also has some. There should be at least 30 people in total.”
With 30 people protecting her… probably no one would dare to have designs on her. However, this way, she would be too conspicuous on the street. Moreover, Shen Qiu and Shen Xin were not fools. They would suspect why she went out with so many guards. Shen Miao said, “I see.”
“Miss, are you worried about your safety?” Mo Qing asked. “I can mobilize more people at that time.” Mo Qing also felt that it was a little strange. Shen Miao had never been a timid person. Her reaction today was a little abnormal.
