Chapter 373 - Meeting Again in the Palace (2)

Shen Qiu was also happy. “Sister, you’re so thoughtful!”

“All you know is to drink!” Luo Xueyan rolled her eyes at the father and son and said, “Just let the servants go and buy the wine. Jiaojiao, why do you have to make the trip?”

Shen Xin was displeased “Jiaojiao is doing it because she cares about us. It won’t be the same if it’s bought by the servants!” It was rare for Shen Miao to be close to them now. Shen Xin was very happy. Even if Shen Miao bought two jars of water today, he would still be overjoyed. Naturally, he had to refute Luo Xueyan.

Luo Xueyan couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath on the father and son. She looked at Shen Miao and said, “Jiaojiao, I actually have something to discuss with you.”

“Mother, please go ahead.”

“You know that we’re going to split up from the Shen family. I think it will be done in a few days. Your father and I have thought it through. We have to buy a new mansion. I saw a mansion in the east of the city that’s not bad. We can get some servants to clean it. It’s just that…” Luo Xueyan looked at Shen Miao and was hesitating if she could continue.” In the past, when your father and I went to the Northwest, we could leave you in charge of the Shen family. Now that we’ve split up, if your father and I leave again, it’s not safe for you, a girl, to stay in a mansion alone. So… Jiaojiao, are you willing to go to the Northwest with me?”

Shen Miao was slightly stunned.

“Sister, the Northwest is very fun.” Seeing that Shen Miao was in a daze, Shen Qiu quickly said, “It’s not as bad as people say. We’ll live in Spring City. There are mountains and rivers there, and there are many rare birds and beasts. When the time comes, I can go hunt a white tiger to make a cloak for you.”

“Nonsense!” Luo Xueyan scolded him with a smile. “Your sister is just a girl. Why does she need the white tiger cloak?”

Shen Qiu scratched his head. “There’s also mines. The gems are huge. Sister, I can make jewelry for you too!”

Shen Miao smiled. She was a little hesitant at first because she still had other things to do in the capital. However, after hearing Shen Qiu’s words, she started to yearn for Spring City in the northwest. Who didn’t want to live a carefree life? Who wanted to open their eyes every day and think about how to scheme against others? She sighed in her heart. She would go with them this time. At most, she would stay in the capital when she came back next year.

“Sure.” Under everyone’s expectant gazes, Shen Miao nodded. “I also want to broaden my horizon.”

Luo Xueyan heaved a sigh of relief. Shen Xin laughed loudly and said, “I knew Jiaojiao would definitely agree! After coming back this year, I found that Jiaojiao has changed a lot.”

“Sister, Sister.” Shen Qiu was also excited. “When the time comes, I’ll bring you to see my brothers. They all know that I have a sister but they have never seen you. Also the grandparents on Mother’s side. They haven’t seen you since you were born. They won’t be able to recognize you this time.”

Luo Xueyan’s family was the general of the northwest. They only rushed over to the capital once when Shen Miao was born. Later, because it was thousands of miles away, they had not seen each other all these years. Shen Miao lowered her eyes, deep in thought. In her previous life, after Luo Xueyan died, the Luo family cut off all contact with the Shen family. Shen Miao did not have a deep relationship with the Luo family to begin with, so she did not know what happened to the Luo family in the end. However, with Consort Mei’s ruthless methods, she would definitely have a way to make Fu Xiuyi wipe out the Luo family.

After chatting for a while, Luo Xueyan asked Shen Miao to go back to her room to rest.

After Shen Miao washed up, she sat at the table and looked at the dancing flames of the candle. She couldn’t help but sigh. If she really wanted to go to the Northwest with Shen Xin, she had to settle everything within the next half a year.
