As Shen Xingmian had expected, almost everyone objected to the plan to travel far away, with the only exception being Shen Xingyan.
She enthusiastically expressed that if her cousin was willing to take her along, she would support her and even act as her bodyguard for free.
Shen Xingmian doesn't need a little girl to protect her. Although her cousin is very capable, she is only fourteen years old. If she really takes her out, she will have to worry about her safety every day.
It's better to be alone and have less to worry about.
Seeing that everyone still didn't want her to leave alone, Shen Xingmian had no choice but to make some harsh remarks.
"I'm just letting everyone know, not asking for their opinions. I'm definitely going out; my little brother is waiting for me. Grandpa, are you sure he's not worried about not getting better since he's been sick for so long?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiheng, who had been the most vehement opponent, immediately fell silent.
Compared to worrying about Mianmian, who is elusive and impossible to catch, her sickly grandson seems to be a bigger problem and requires more concern...
Seeing that her grandfather's attitude was softening, Shen Xingmian immediately leaned over and started speaking:
"Grandpa, look how long it's been since you last saw your little cousin. If he gets better, how far are we from a family reunion?"
You stay in the North and focus on development. Build a bigger and more beautiful courtyard. When they come over and experience the warmth of family, won't they be reluctant to leave?
"Then you'll have a whole host of filial sons and grandsons to dote on you. What worries could you possibly have? Wouldn't you be living like a god, enjoying every day to the fullest!"
"hiss--"
Shen Yunting thought to herself, "This is bad." Her daughter is quite clever and knows how to manipulate her old father.
Once these words were spoken, even if Dad disagreed, he would agree.
That clever little girl.
Looking at Shen Xingmian's fawning face, Shen Yunting really wanted to grab her back to her room, pin her to his lap, and give her a good spanking.
But she also knew that now that things had come to this point, she had no choice but to agree, since her second brother really needed Mianmian to go over there.
Seeing that no one objected anymore, Shen Xingmian assured them, "Don't worry, no one can do anything to me. Others may not know, but don't you all understand?"
After saying that, he placed a large silver note and several boxes of silver ingots on the table and winked playfully.
"Here, with these, I can go out with peace of mind. If there's any emergency, this money can help you solve it."
Shen Xingmian realized the importance of money very early on, so she prepared enough of it, just in case her grandfather would have to worry about money again.
Seeing that no one had any further objections, Shen Xingmian announced, "Alright, I don't have anything else to pack, so I'll get ready to leave now!"
Everyone was shocked. They thought that after the child finished talking about her plans, she would need at least ten days or half a month to prepare. Who would have thought that she would plan to leave right after she finished talking?
Shen Yunting had been wanting to beat someone up, and upon hearing this, he grabbed Shen Xingmian, tucked her under his arm, and carried her back to her room.
The group looked at each other, unsure whether they should stop them.
Shen Zhiheng coughed lightly and said awkwardly, "The child is going on a long trip, and the mother must have a lot to tell him. Let's not disturb her."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. This wasn't a word of advice; it was clearly a prelude to a beating.
However, the mother couldn't bring herself to hit him too hard. A good beating would teach him a lesson, so she just let it go.
Shen Yunting was absolutely furious. When she got to the room, she threw her daughter onto the bed, put her hands on her hips, and said angrily, "You think you're all grown up now? You didn't even tell your mother beforehand. What, do you think I'm no different from everyone else?"
Shen Xingmian quickly fawned over her mother and coaxed her, "I just thought that Mother was a heroine and didn't like such fussy farewells."
If I had known that my mother would be so reluctant to part with me, I definitely would have brought her with me!
But what about Father… He wants to stay here to teach Daodao, how can I bear to see you two separated!
Seeing that Shen Yun didn't speak, she quickly continued to linger and act coquettishly:
"Alright, alright, Mom has been looking after me for months, aren't you tired of me yet? I'll bring my little cousin back so you can have some fun with him, okay?"
Speaking of that child, Shen Yunting's heart softened considerably. He was a junior in the family, and he was frail; how could she not worry?
Now that my daughter has gone there, the child can immediately have a healthy body, which is a great thing.
Shen Yunting stroked his daughter's head and instructed her, "Be careful in everything you do when you're out and about. Don't think you're invincible just because you have superpowers and a spatial ability."
"Don't even mention the poisons in the martial arts world; some places also have strange and unpredictable techniques. You can easily fall victim if you're not careful, so don't be careless, understand?"
After a long sigh, she continued, "Why don't I just stay with you? Your father will stay in the manor and nothing will go wrong. There's nothing to worry about."
On the contrary, it's you I'm really worried about.
Luo Qi'an listened from the side and did not object at all. His wife was worried about the child, and so was he.
If it weren't for Yanyue's maternal grandmother being there, making it difficult for the child to go out, he would have loved to take him along and the four of them go out together.
“Mother, actually, the family needs your care more than I do. Now everyone knows that Grandpa is in the Northern Territory, living here, and his family is here too. I'm afraid things won't be peaceful from now on.”
What if the dog emperor wants to attack the North, or continues to arrange assassinations? What will happen to your family without you?
Oh dear, now that you mention it, I'm a little worried too. How about I bring you all along and we go out together?
But I'm worried about leaving my maternal grandfather and my eldest uncle here alone!
Ugh, this is so difficult.
Seeing her daughter's pretty little face all wrinkled with worry, Shen Yunting felt strangely relieved. She quickly suppressed this feeling, feeling inexplicably guilty.
After thinking for a moment, she coughed lightly as a cover, and then slowly said:
“You’re right. Your mother can’t leave the northern border for the time being, and neither can your father, so you must be extra careful on your journey.”
Don't be careless just because you think you have special abilities. You're not the only one in this world with opportunities. When faced with a problem, don't always rush forward; it's okay to stay back. You're still just a young girl.
Shen Xingmian listened attentively to her mother's instructions, then snuggled closer to her and obediently agreed, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Mother. I'll never be the first to stick my neck out, and I'll observe things carefully first. Is that alright?"
What else could Shen Yunting say? Seeing how well-behaved she was, he couldn't utter a single word of reproach.
Shen Xingmian chatted with the two for a while, then went out to deliver the horse to her cousin. After delivering it, she decided to tell Xiao Yanyue.
After all, I had promised him that I would tell him before leaving.
You must do what you say you will do.
