Chapter 409: Brother Xie (2)
This is what Shen Xin thought.
He smiled and looked at Shen Miao and said, "Since Jiaojiao said it was a dream, then the dream will definitely come true. Dad believes you." He actually had no intention of delving into the reason.
The words "Dad trusts you" almost brought Shen Miao to tears. She had been determined to marry Fu Xiuyi, and Shen Xin had tried his best to stop her. It wasn't until she threatened to die that Shen Xin finally relented. The proud general, who had commanded his entire life, revealed a dejected and helpless expression, saying, "Since you've chosen this man, Dad trusts you."
This pushed the Shen family into a dead end.
Shen Miao closed her eyes, and the tragic past vanished in an instant. She said, "If Dad truly believes what I say, tomorrow I will ask His Majesty to withdraw to Xiaochun City."
"Tomorrow?" Luo Xueyan was startled. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
“It’s necessary to be so impatient so that His Majesty will think that Dad is unhappy about having his tiger talisman taken away and is acting out of anger. He won’t think too much about it.” Shen Miao explained.
Shen Qiu wanted to say something, but Shen Xin gave the order: “Just do it.”
"Chen Xin!" Luo Xueyan was a little anxious. After all, these were all important matters. Although what Shen Miao said made some sense, such a hasty decision was really too hasty.
Chen Xin shook his head: "You and I have fought on the battlefield for many years, but we are still not as clear-sighted as Jiaojiao." He looked at Shen Miao, his eyes becoming more complicated, but in the end he still reached out and rubbed Shen Miao's head: "If Jiaojiao were a man, how many people in the world could compare to her?"
Shen Miao looked at him quietly.
What she said today was something a girl in the boudoir would never have thought of. Shen Xin was a rough man, but that didn't mean he was clueless. He must have seen the suspicious things about her a long time ago. But Shen Xin didn't say it out loud. Even if he did, Shen Miao wouldn't tell Shen Xin the secret of his rebirth. Perhaps this was the unconditional trust between family members.
Just like Shen Xin had always been on her side in her previous life.
“The Shen family will be fine.” Shen Miao said as if to assure.
"Father will go to the court tomorrow morning to present the memorial." Chen Xin smiled and pulled Luo Xueyan to stand up: "Madam, you should also go to bed early."
Luo Xueyan was about to say something, but stopped herself abruptly when she saw Chen Xin's expression. She had followed Chen Xin for so many years, and he was naturally confident and confident. She had never seen him look so heavy. He should have been a hero admired by all the people, but he was stripped of his military power and forced to stay in a small borderland. No one felt more frustrated than Chen Xin at this moment. For the first time, her expression softened, and she supported Chen Xin and said, "Okay."
It was Shen Qiu who fell behind, looking at Shen Miao who was about to speak but hesitated, and finally couldn't help but said: "Sister, you... do you want Dad to rebel?"
Of all the Shen family members, Shen Qiu is the one who most clearly understands the inherent violence in Shen Miao. When Prince Yu coveted her, she left no one alive in the Prince Yu's mansion. The Jing family plotted against her, and now she's been mutilated. The Emperor has seized the Shen family's tiger talisman. Is Shen Miao's seemingly retreating behavior truly just about self-preservation?
"I am loyal to my master and I earn his salary." Shen Miao smiled faintly, "The Shen family has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic. How could such a thing happen? Big brother, don't think too much about it. If someone hears through the wall, I'm afraid you and I will be in trouble."
Chen Qiu paused, then said, "That's best, sister...don't do anything stupid." He then turned and walked out of the room.
Shen Miao slowly sat down in her seat.
She wanted to rebel, but figuring out how to do it without leaving a bad name was a major issue. Her top priority was, of course, to avoid disaster. But when she returned, she would definitely give the Fu family a great gift.
