The farce in Qingluan Pavilion attracted a lot of people to watch the fun.
The common people are familiar with Liu Jing and Yun Zimu of the Yun family.
It's because they both have one thing in common: they do all kinds of evil and bully others by taking advantage of their power.
The fathers of these two people are, one is the Prince's tutor and the other is the cabinet minister.
Whether they were ordinary people or relatives with lower official positions, they were all full of complaints about him, but no one dared to speak to Liu Jing like Li Shengyi did.
Lin Miaomiao was excited at first.
When her excitement subsided, she thought about the consequences of breaking off the engagement and her shoulders slumped. "My father will definitely beat me to death."
"And my mother..."
Although her father dotes on her and loves her mother, her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words...
Li Shengyi understood her feelings very well.
In this era, women obeyed their fathers at home, their husbands after marriage, and their sons after their husbands died [Note 1]. They spent their entire lives revolving around these men and were not even allowed to have their own private lives.
Although Lin Miaomiao has a domineering and violent temper, she has been instilled with such ideas since she was a child.
So even though she didn't like Liu Jing and refused to marry him, she finally compromised with her parents.
Li Shengyi raised his hand and patted her shoulder, then said softly, "You are you. You have been yourself since birth. No one can replace you or decide your thoughts and ideas."
"Life will definitely not be easy if you marry Liu Jing, Sister Miaomiao, I hope you can think more about yourself."
People always need to be a little selfish in order to live a happier life.
Li Shengyi did not say the last sentence.
In her opinion, Lin Miaomiao is filial and thoughtful, but she lacks the ability to escape the shackles of her current situation.
Once she escapes from the shackles, she will surely be able to live the life she wants in the future.
Li Shengyi's words made Lin Miaomiao's eyes flash with a subtle light.
She reached out and pinched the former's little face, and after hearing a soft cry, she smiled and withdrew her hand.
"Shengyi, how old are you? Why do you scold me like the old housekeeper of the Lin Mansion?"
Lin Miaomiao’s words made Li Shengyi’s eyes widen instantly.
She blinked, her cheeks puffed up on her fair little face, "I'm not an old housekeeper! I'm still young!"
After she finished speaking, she wrinkled her nose, causing Lin Miaomiao to burst into laughter again.
It was still early when we came out of Qingluan Pavilion.
After that scene in Qingluan Pavilion, Lin Miaomiao obviously likes her sister Li Shengyi more than before.
A man, one big and one small, walked on the street. Soon, Lin Miaomiao and her companions arrived in front of a restaurant.
"I heard this is a newly opened restaurant. My mother said it's very lively here. It's a pity I've never been here."
"Now that we finally have the chance, would you like to come up and sit with me?"
Li Shengyi looked at the restaurant's sign in the direction of her finger. Her facial features wrinkled for a moment, then she nodded, "Okay."
[Isn't this the restaurant my father and I visited before?]
[Last time, I heard Su Jinrou and Chu Huaifeng next door... The memory of their deaths suddenly attacked me!]
[I'm going to ask the waiter for a basin of hot water to wash my head. Should I be alright?]
The sudden voice in his mind made Shen Wangchen, who was sitting in the attic, stunned for a moment.
The man in front of him saw him suddenly stunned and chuckled, "Master Shen, why are you in a daze?"
Shen Wangchen shook his head upon hearing this, “Continue.”
Even though he said this, his eyes were already looking downstairs through the gap in the attic window.
Only after seeing the familiar little figure follow a slightly larger figure into the restaurant facing the street did he silently withdrew his gaze.
"...Lord Shen, the situation in the northwest with the locust plague has stabilized somewhat, but there are still bandits clamoring for an uprising."
"The Prime Minister said to hold back on this matter, but those people have already gathered a lot of troops. If we attack, General Meng is not in the capital..."
If Lin Miaomiao was present, she would definitely recognize that the person sitting face to face with Shen Wangchen was her father.
Shen Wangchen tapped his fingers on the table, and after a while he finally spoke in a deep voice, "The Prime Minister must have his own plans for saying this."
"Have you investigated the rebels?"
The man nodded and handed over a list in his hand.
"This group is led by a man named Zhao. He was introduced to Your Majesty by the Second Prince. He claims to be proficient in magical arts and was highly valued by Your Majesty for a period of time."
"It wasn't until the Prime Minister intervened... This man should have died at Caishikou, but unexpectedly, he was saved by the Second Prince and sent to the northwest."
The Second Prince's rebellion must have been planned in advance.
It’s just that period was not the best time, so it was delayed until now.
Today, the health of the current emperor is deteriorating, but even so, he is still addicted to alcohol and sex.
The time was almost ripe, and the second prince took action.
Shen Wangchen narrowed his eyes, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his baby face.
"A gentleman should act without words. Let's wait for two days. When they think everything is peaceful, it won't be too late for us to take action."
The man immediately nodded in agreement. "Master Shen is absolutely right. As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. If we want to do something, we should be the oriole!"
This time Shen Wangchen didn't respond, but changed the subject.
"I heard that Lord Lin betrothed my daughter to the son of Lord Taifu? Everyone knows that Liu Jing is a hopeless case. Could it be that Lord Lin wants to sacrifice his daughter for the sake of justice?"
