Chapter 549: Almost Dead (2)

Luo Tan said: "Okay, okay, if you are not afraid, this will be fine."

Shen Miao, who had been watching silently, saw Feng An Ning's cheeks quickly flush with anger, and her heart suddenly moved.

In the past, the Guanglu Xun family had chosen the wrong side, and Master Feng was implicated. To protect his beloved daughter, he had no choice but to marry Feng Anning off to a cousin from the same family. Unbeknownst to him, this cousin was a traitor. After the Feng family fell, he took a mistress and even had a son. How could Feng Anning, with her pride, tolerate such an injustice? She then took a pair of scissors and committed suicide along with the mistress.

In this life, because of Shen Miao's random manipulation, the forces within the Ming and Qi royal families are now evenly matched, and Master Feng has never taken sides. However, no one can guarantee that the ending of the previous life will not happen again.

Shen Miao didn't have any feelings towards the Feng family, but if it was Feng An Ning, she would also want to help. Feng An Ning always reminded her of Wan Yu, both of them were poor people who were implicated by their families.

"What are you looking at me for?" Feng An Ning saw Shen Miao staring at her intently, not knowing what she was thinking. She thought Shen Miao was still upset about what Luo Tan had said. She said angrily, "You also think I'm afraid of your eldest brother?"

Luo Tan was laughing secretly at the side, Shen Miao came back to her senses and shook her head: “Not really, I just think your skirt is a bit unique.”

Women always love to hear people bragging about themselves. Even if Feng An Ning was furious, Shen Miao's words did not make her angry. She then said proudly: "Of course, this is the trick my mother asked someone to find for me!"

Shen Miao lowered her eyes and sighed slightly in her heart. Never mind. Everyone has their own destiny. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Some things are better to be done slowly.

…

It had to be said that strolling with three people was much more tiring than with just two. Feng Anning wanted to visit jewelry and tailor shops, while Luo Tan wanted to see weapons and the like. They wandered from the east to the west of the city, and from the south to the north. Luo Tan and Feng Anning were always bickering, and it gave Shen Miao a headache. When she went out with them, she acted as mature as a mother with a child. But after a while of bickering, they both turned on her, saying things like, "You're so young, but you act like an old woman" and "You're even more boring than a monk in a temple." In the end, Shen Miao simply ignored them.

The day was exceptionally lively, with the three girls wandering around, their purchases leaving the entire carriage with barely enough space. Feng An Ning was quite generous, and whenever Shen Miao and Luo Tan took a fancy to something, he'd wave his hand and say, "Buy!" If Shen Miao hadn't stopped him, Feng An Ning would have moved the entire jewelry shop back to the mansion.

After eating, drinking, playing, and having fun, when the sun was about to set, everyone planned to go home. Because Shen Miao and Luo Tan were invited by Feng An Ning, it would be inconvenient to bring too many guards, so Shen Miao did not bring the Shen Mansion guards with her, thinking of taking the Feng family's carriage back. Who knew that just after getting out of the shop and getting into the carriage, Feng An Ning rummaged through his purse, his face showing some anxiety: "The cat's eye hairpin I just bought is gone."

Feng An Ning spent a day browsing jewelry shops in Dingjing. If there was one thing she was most satisfied with, it was the butterfly-shaped cat's eye hairpin she had picked out. The cat's eye was a rare and transparent royal blue, very beautiful. Feng An Ning took it out and looked at it with Shen Miao and the others while they were having dinner at the restaurant.

Shen Miao said, “Look for it again. It was in your hand just now. How come it disappeared?”

Feng Anning rummaged through her purse and asked her maids, but they all said they hadn't seen it. Luo Tan asked, "Could it have been left in the restaurant?"

Feng Anning said, "I don't know."
