Chapter 657 Holding Hands (2)
"Mom, what do you want to do?" Shen Yue heard something wrong in Chen Ruoqiu's words and asked with some concern.
Chen Ruoqiu sneered and replied, "Just wait and see. I came here just to tell you. Seeing that you are okay, mother will be relieved."
Chen Yue couldn't get anything out of Chen Ruoqiu, so she had no choice but to give up, but she ignored the fierceness that flashed across Chen Ruoqiu's eyes.

After a few days, Dingjing City seemed to have calmed down a bit. Nothing new was happening, but with the New Year approaching, the streets were gradually bustling with people buying New Year goods.
Everyone in the Shen residence naturally began preparing for the New Year, and Luo Tan was quite happy. However, ever since the last incident, Chen Xin had made it difficult for Shen Miao and Luo Tan to leave the house. If they did, they would always be accompanied by a large number of guards, which was rather boring. Furthermore, Feng An Ning, feeling incredibly guilty about the previous incident, apologized, and perhaps after being bitten, she stopped asking the two out again. Luo Tan was bored at the mansion, and when she got so bored, she followed Luo Ling and Shen Qiu to the training ground to watch the soldiers train. She dressed as a man, and with Chen Xin and Luo Ling by her side, she didn't have to be afraid.
Shen Miao stayed quietly in the house. She didn't really like crowds, nor did she like going out to the streets to visit any shops. Being alone was actually the most reassuring thing.
One day, Mo Qing came back from outside and said that Chang Zaiqing's husband and son had been taken to Dingjing City. Because they wanted to conceal their whereabouts, they did not dare to take them to a private residence, but instead placed them in a private house in the east of the city.
Shen Miao said, "You did very well." She remembered that Chang Zaiqing's husband in her previous life was a gambler and rogue, and was a bit violent due to years of alcoholism. If such a person got involved in the Shen residence and had other ideas in the future, it would be like sticky candy, and it would take a lot of effort to clean it up properly. Besides, who knew if the people in the Shen residence were monitoring the Shen residence every day. If they saw the father and son, they would probably cause more trouble.
Mo Qing repeatedly said he didn’t dare, and asked Shen Miao: “When does Miss plan to go see them?”
Shen Miao brought the father and son to Dingjing, which must have been useful. Before that, she would definitely meet with them and have a talk.
Shen Miao was about to answer when she suddenly thought of something and paused.
In Pei Lang's letter, Fu Xiuyi posed a difficult challenge to Shen Wan: marrying the King of Zhou. What methods could Shen Wan use? Although Shen Miao wasn't entirely sure, she could more or less guess that it would be some dirty tricks. Therefore, once she stepped out of the Shen residence, dangers might lurk everywhere. Perhaps the reason she had been so peaceful these past few days was because she hadn't left the house at all. If she had, the other party might not have missed this opportunity.
She wasn't so heartless as to jump into a fire pit even though she knew it was a fire pit. Besides, being involved with the Tian family was not something she could get out of with just a few words.
Shen Miao asked, “How many masters like you are there in the mansion?”
Mo Qing was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "The eldest young master should have some subordinates, and the old master should have some as well. Together, they should be less than thirty people."
Mo Qing was indeed considered a top expert, and there were very few like him. With thirty people protecting him... no one would dare to attack him, but walking down the street like that would make him too conspicuous. It would be strange if he didn't attract attention. And suddenly having so many guards follow him, Shen Qiu and Shen Xin weren't fools. Shen Miao shook her head and said, "I understand."
"Miss, are you worried about your safety on the road?" Mo Qing asked, "You can send more people when the time comes." Mo Qing also felt that it was a bit strange. Shen Miao had never been a timid person. Today's incident was a bit unusual.
