Chapter 335 Some truths are better left unseen
Sure enough, the old butler soon received a letter from Marquis of Xiangyang via carrier pigeon.
When he saw Shen Wan nonchalantly taking the huge silver note, his hands were shaking with anger.
This damn girl!
In order to raise this huge sum of money, the Shen family even sold most of their land.
If no one wanted it, Marquis Xiangyang would even want to sell his underwear.
The Xiangyang Marquisate, which was not wealthy to begin with, was now so poor that it was almost begging for food.
"Xiaoxiao, this is for you." Shen Wan took the banknote and handed it over with a smile.
After hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a long time.
"Sister, are you really giving this to me?" She asked, pointing at her nose, a little bit unable to believe her ears.
The Miaojiang Ling family is naturally not poor, but this amount of money is not a small sum for Ling Xiaoxiao.
With this money, she could even burn down the most prosperous street in Miaojiang again.
Shen Wan smiled sweetly: “Silly girl, as if I have lied to you so many times.”
Although she didn't say it explicitly, Xie Mubai clearly understood what she meant.
There is no doubt that this money was used by the little woman to thank Ling Xiaoxiao.
Raising two premature babies requires a lot of manpower and resources, and Shen Wan doesn't want them to suffer.
Fearing that Shen Wan would go back on her word, Ling Xiaoxiao snatched the banknote and stuffed it directly into her arms.
"If you have such a good thing in the future, please don't forget me!" She said excitedly with her eyes shining, "But I really have to go."
"The conditions in this inn are too poor. I have to take the two babies back to Miaojiang as soon as possible."
Although the climate in Miaojiang is not very good, there are warm and large houses there, and you can also find two wet nurses with plenty of milk.
Once there, the two little guys can live a life without worries about food and clothing.
"Okay, then you should leave quickly." Shen Wan said with a smile, "I'll write to you when I settle down in the Northwest."
After hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao's eyes turned slightly red.
"Sister!" She threw herself into Shen Wan's arms and choked with sobs, "I can't bear to leave you."
Except for the old Miao King, no one in Miao area likes her.
This was the first friend she had made in her sixteen years of life.
Shen Wan patted her shoulder, but her eyes turned to Black Hawk.
Black Hawk didn't say anything, but just lowered his head silently.
"I can't bear to leave you either." Shen Wan rolled her eyes and smiled mischievously, "How about you marry to the Northwest in the future? Then we can be together again, right?"
After hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao shook her head vigorously.
"No!" she said with certainty, "My father said that I must inherit the throne of the Miao King in the future."
"If I leave, what will happen to Miaojiang?"
After hearing this, Su Wen's beautiful brows frowned slightly.
Although they are siblings, the old Miao King never considered handing over Miao territory to him.
In fact, Su Wen didn’t care about this, he just felt a little heartbroken.
No matter how outstanding he is, in the heart of the old Miao King, he will never be able to compare to Ling Xiaoxiao, who only knows how to cause trouble.
Shen Wan keenly noticed his abnormality, took Ling Xiaoxiao's hand and said with a smile: "Okay, Queen, I will wait to hold your thigh from now on."
"But I have a request, Your Majesty the Queen, would you agree?"
After hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao nodded immediately.
"Okay, go ahead!" she said carelessly, "Even if you want to marry me as your concubine, I will agree."
Xie Mubai's face darkened.
If he wasn't afraid that the little woman would get angry, he really wanted to smash the tea bowl in her face.
What the hell is this!
She didn't even look at herself in the mirror. With her intelligence, she still wanted to marry his sweetheart?
"You're dreaming!" Shen Wan patted Ling Xiaoxiao's shoulder and said with a smile, "When the two children are older, I want to ask Senior Brother Su Wen to teach them to read and write."
"Brother Su Wen is knowledgeable and kind. It would be great if the two children could become his disciples."
Su Wen's eyes moved slightly.
It turns out that it feels so good to be valued.
"What's so difficult about this? Leave it to me!" Ling Xiaoxiao disagreed.
She was born a chatterbox, especially in front of Shen Wan, once she started talking she didn't want to stop.
Xie Mubai couldn't help asking, "Aren't you in a hurry to leave?"
"If we don't leave now, we might not reach Miao territory before dark."
After hearing this, Su Wen looked at Ling Xiaoxiao and said, "Let's go."
He didn't say the second half of the sentence.
If they don't leave now, that sickly prince will kick them out.
This time when he came to the county town, Su Wen also brought a lot of servants.
At his urging, the group drove away.
Shen Yizhou stood upstairs and saw this scene clearly.
In the past, Chen Wan had a bad temper and didn’t even have a single real friend, but now she can actually be as close as a sister to the Miaojiang Saint.
If Xie Mubai really wanted to rebel, Miaojiang would definitely stand on his side without hesitation.
At this time, Ranqiu and Heiying also moved their luggage onto the carriage.
Ling Xiaoxiao left, and they had to continue on their journey.
We've been apart for so long, and I don't know how Hu Dahai and the others are doing.
After everything was arranged, Shen Wan and Xie Mubai went to say goodbye to Shen Yizhou.
Shen Yizhou sneered and looked at Shen Wan: "I wanted to give you some more money, but now seeing that you are so generous, it seems that I don't need it."
"You go down first. I want to talk to the prince alone."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wan subconsciously glanced at the villain.
Xie Mubai nodded slightly; "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
After Shen Wan heard this, she left as she was told.
In the small room, only Shen Yizhou and Xie Mubai were left.
"Is everything done?" Shen Yizhou had a gloomy face, and his low voice was intimidating without anger.
Xie Mubai did not answer, but simply said: "Thank you for the reminder, sir."
"I just can't bear to see the entire Xie family being exterminated." Shen Yizhou said coldly, "Stop it, you can't win at all."
"If you persist in your wrongdoing, then I will have no choice but to find another good husband for Wan'er."
Xie Mubai looked at him with a mocking expression after hearing this: "Really?"
"If you were her uncle, you would naturally be qualified, but the problem is that you are not!"
Shen Yizhou’s eyes turned red and his expression suddenly changed.
"You're talking nonsense!" he shouted, gritting his teeth.
Xie Mubai's thin lips curled slightly, and a disdainful smile appeared on his cold face: "Whether I am talking nonsense, Lord Shen knows better than anyone else."
“You keep saying that you love Chen Wan, but have you ever really considered her?”
"If a person doesn't even know who her biological parents are, do you think she would feel regretful?"
"You clearly know that she's sad but you won't tell her. Is this what you call your love?"
After Shen Yizhou heard this, his expression became uglier and uglier.
After a long while, he said quietly, "I am doing this for your own good."
"In fact, it's better to be vague about some things. After all, some truths are cruel."
"If the price of knowing is that you must separate, will you still insist on pursuing the so-called truth?"
