Chapter 161 Plan (5)
Shen Miao smiled coldly. The good plan of Ren Wanyun and her sister to marry each other had been ruined with the return of Shen Xin. If Shen Qing was to marry Huang Dexing, Ren Wanyun would naturally not agree. But the engagement letter had already been exchanged, and both families had already agreed. It would not be easy to regret at this time.
This is the truth of the saying, "lifting a rock and dropping it on one's own feet." Of course, Ren Wanyun's plan failing wouldn't make things any easier for her. Poisonous Snake wanted to strike back, but at the evening banquet a few days later, she wanted to seize Ren Wanyun's weak spot in front of everyone and catch Prince Yu off guard.
Outside the door, Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin's faces darkened. Luo Xueyan angrily said, "What's going on with the old lady and your brothers? They're arranging Jiaojiao's marriage for no apparent reason. This is the first time I've heard of such a thing in my life."
"Madam, don't be angry." Shen Xin said, "I will go to the old lady and ask her clearly. If there is any such thing, I will immediately tell the Wei family clearly. If you hide it like this, I am afraid there will be something fishy."
"I guess Jiaojiao has suffered a lot this year." Luo Xueyan said unhappily, "I'll call Jiaojiao and the other maids over later to find out what happened. Aunt Gui is also missing." After all, as someone who has been to the battlefield, she would be sensitive to these things. She said, "I think what Jiaojiao said is not wrong. If I don't deal with these monsters and demons after staying in Dingjing for half a year, I'm afraid my daughter will lose her life!" As she said that, she glared at Shen Xin again.
Chen Xin rubbed his nose, knowing that Luo Xueyan was dissatisfied with his two brothers. Not to mention Luo Xueyan, he himself was also furious. He ordered the two guards beside him, "Guard the young lady well these days. If anything goes wrong, tell me immediately. If the young lady makes any mistakes, you will be punished by military law!" After saying that, he looked at Chen Qiu again, frowning, "Stinky boy, what are you daydreaming about?"
Shen Qiu was brought back to his senses by Shen Xin's yell. He mumbled, "Oh, I was lost in thought." He had been thinking about Shen Miao. The people sent to Wolong Temple today had already reported back and found nothing amiss. No one had noticed what happened that day. Shen Qiu was no fool. He naturally knew that this was because the people who knew about it had been sent away. To achieve such a complete absence of any trace, it seemed that it was not the work of the Shen family. The truth hidden from Shen Miao also made Shen Qiu even more suspicious.
My sister has become more and more difficult to understand without me noticing.
"It's already late." Chen Xin vented his anger at his wife directly on his unlucky son: "Go and check what's going on in the mansion. I'll come and ask you tomorrow."
"Ah." Chen Qiu agreed with a bitter face. It was true that he knew the whole story, but his sister didn't let him tell her.
…
Caiyun Garden was in a mess at the moment.
Shen Guifang left, and before leaving, he had a big quarrel with Ren Wanyun. Ever since the day when Shen Xin returned from Madam Shen's birthday banquet, Shen Gui and Ren Wanyun had been in conflict over this matter. In fact, Shen Gui also knew that Shen Miao was under house arrest, but for him, if something went wrong, he would naturally put all the blame on Ren Wanyun.
He and Shen Wan had reached their current position thanks to the connections left by Shen Xin. Although they now held a certain position in the court, if Shen Xin were to harm them, Shen Gui and Shen Wan's careers would be ruined. This was a world where martial arts were respected. Although civil officials mocked military commanders for their crudeness, whoever possessed military power became more important in the Ming Qi faction. Between civil officials and military commanders, the emperor naturally wanted to protect the military commanders.
In the past, the two brothers had always been very careful with Shen Xin, and Shen Xin was always happy to look after them. But who would have thought that this time, Shen Xin would witness Shen Miao trapped in a sea of fire with his own eyes? Shen Xin secretly valued Shen Miao as his life, and Shen Gui was worried about what he might do in anger. Therefore, since Shen Xin's return, Shen Gui had been extremely irritable, and Ren Wanyun's proposal to break off the engagement at this time was almost like adding fuel to the fire, and all his dissatisfaction with Ren Wanyun for several days burst out.
