Chapter 260 Jade Rabbit Festival (2)
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Yu said angrily, "The streets will definitely be crowded. What if something happens to the girl?"
"But didn't we go there in previous years?" Bai Lu said unconvinced.
"Previous years were previous years, this year is this year!" Guyu said fiercely. Bailu was right. At this time of year in previous years, the Shen Xin couple would have returned to Dingjing City. The entire Shen Mansion would go out together to watch the excitement during the Jade Rabbit Festival. However, this year, such a big incident happened in the Shen Mansion and Prince Yu's Mansion. The murderer behind it has not been found yet. If someone is waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, Shen Miao's situation is indeed much more dangerous. No matter how big the excitement is, it is not as important as Shen Miao's safety.
“No problem.” Shen Miao smiled faintly: “I wanted to go and see the excitement too. With my parents and big brother around, there’s no way I’ll be in any danger.”
"But..." Guyu wanted to persuade.
"That's all." Shen Miao interrupted her and walked back into the house. Gu Yu could only suppress her worries. She didn't know when Shen Miao had developed the habit of sticking to her word. She no longer had the habit of asking the second and third wives for help in everything. It was good to have her own ideas, but when she got stubborn, it was also very frustrating.
Shen Miao returned to the house, walked to her desk and sat down, her eyes fell on the branches of the plum tree outside. The branches were dotted with red dots, which reminded her of the letter she had received before.
The Chen brothers had already returned to Jiangnan. After the Prince Yu's mansion was wiped out, they had no further contact. Shen Miao was extremely cautious, and all communication with the Chen family was done through Mo Qing delivering letters to the Fengxian Pawn Shop. Now that Mo Qing's indentures were no longer with the Shen family, others could not suspect her.
This time, Mo Qing brought back another piece of news: the whereabouts of the girl Liuying, whom Ji Yushu had previously inquired about, had finally been discovered. She was now in Baoxiang Tower, the largest brothel in Dingjing City. She was one of the most beautiful women there, and she had heard that she would be performing as the Jade Rabbit Fairy by Wanli Lake on the Jade Rabbit Festival. She had longed to see her, and this was the perfect opportunity.
As for Gu Yu's fear of revenge, Shen Miao saw it as a minor issue. The Chen brothers had been cooperating with her, so how could they possibly be asking for revenge? As for the Shen family, Old Madam Shen was so angry that she refused to see anyone except her two sons and the grandson of the second branch. The second branch of the Shen family was practically ruined, and Shen Yuan was busy currying favor with officials, so he wouldn't make a move against her recently. The third branch had always been discreet and would not cause trouble at this critical juncture.
Now that I think about it, no other year has been more enjoyable than this one.
Thinking of this, the corners of Shen Miao's lips curled up slightly, causing Gu Yu, who was watching her from outside, to be startled. However, before she could come to her senses, she heard Jingzhe's voice. Jingzhe walked in from outside and said, "Miss, Concubine Wan from the East Courtyard wants to see you."
Wan? Guyu frowned and whispered, "Why is it her again?"
"Why does Aunt Wan always come to our courtyard?" Shuangjiang and Bailu also whispered, "She's too eager to curry favor with me."
The maids were not very welcoming to Wan. In fact, ever since the incident with Ren Wanyun and Shen Qing, they had grown increasingly disgusted with the people from the Second House. Regardless of Wan's intentions, she was still from the Second House, and it was still very uncomfortable to see her running here all day.
A few days ago, when Aunt Wan wanted to come and see Shen Miao, she was rejected by Shen Miao using various means. But today, she said, "Let her in."
Jingzhe was stunned for a moment, then responded and went out. Guyu and the others, on the other hand, had worried expressions on their faces, fearing that Aunt Wan was up to something bad again.
