776 Kill (1)

Two days later.

Shen Miao woke up early, and Luo Tan had already dressed up. Luo Tan had always been a lively person, and she could not sit still at home. Ever since the last accident, Shen Qiu and Luo Ling had reduced the number of times Shen Miao and Luo Tan were allowed to go out. Even if they went out, they would definitely be followed by a long group of guards. Shen Miao naturally did not care. She was not really a 16-year-old girl. She liked peace and quiet to begin with, so it was not a problem for her to stay in the mansion. On the other hand, Luo Tan was extremely unused to this. As long as she heard that she could go out, she was wild with excitement.

Shen Qiu and Luo Ling instructed Shen Miao to bring Ah Zhi and Mo Qing along. Ah Zhi and Mo Qing were considered the best guards in the entire Shen family. Shen Qiu said, “You don’t have to put up with her. If you don’t feel comfortable being there, just leave.”

At first, when Shen Qiu found out that Shen Miao was going to meet Shen Dongling, he actually objected. For some reason, Shen Qiu did not have a good impression of Shen Dongling. Although Shen Dongling did not behave as outrageously as Shen Qing and Shen Yue and always kept a low profile, for some reason, Shen Qiu felt that Shen Dongling was not a good person.

Perhaps it was because people who had been to the battlefield had an instinct for danger. Shen Qiu did not want to have anything to do with Shen Dongling, so he naturally did not want Shen Miao to get too close to her either.

Shen Miao smiled and said, “I know. With Cousin accompanying me, I’ll be fine.”

Luo Tan smiled and said, “That’s right, that’s right. Cousin Qiu, if you’re really worried, you can come with us.”

Shen Qiu shook his head. “I still have something to do in the military. Moreover, why would a boor like me go to smell the incense? It irritates my nose.” Just like how the civil servants looked down on the vulgar generals, the generals could not understand the weird hobbies of the civil servants. Shen Qiu did not understand what was so good about smelling the incense and didn’t understand why anyone would spend hundred taels of silver for a fistful of incense.

Luo Tan said, “Don’t worry, Cousin Qiu. I’ll take good care of my little cousin.”

Shen Qiu retorted, “With your lousy combat skills? Last time, who almost lost her life and was treated by Imperial Physician Gao for an entire month?”

Luo Tan was most annoyed at people mentioning this. She quickly stuck out her tongue and looked at Luo Ling for help.

Luo Ling smiled and said, “No matter what, you have to be careful. Come back early.” When he said this, he stared at Shen Miao with a concerned gaze.

Previously, when the news of the crown prince wanting to marry Shen Miao came, Luo Xueyan was busy marrying Shen Miao off. The first person to propose marriage was Luo Ling. Luo Ling’s character and family background were both good, and they were family. Luo Xueyan thought highly of Luo Ling. Later, because of Prince Rui’s interference, the marriage was postponed. Luo Xueyan was no longer in a hurry to find a good husband for Shen Miao. However, Luo Ling had already expressed his thoughts to Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin, so there was no need for him to hide his affection anymore.

Facing Luo Ling’s undisguised love, Shen Miao felt awkward. She could only avoid his gaze and say, “Thank you for your concern, Cousin Ling.”

Luo Tan urged her to leave, “Alright, let’s set off quickly. It won’t be good if we’re late.”
