Chapter 783 All Belongs to You (2)
Shen Dongling nodded, but she smiled bitterly in her heart. She didn't know why, but she always felt that Shen Miao would never "have gone back". She was afraid that Shen Miao had never planned to come to Yi Feng Pavilion in the first place.
Shen Miao…this opponent was even more terrifying than she had imagined.
…
On the other side of the street, Luo Tan sat in a carriage, wiping the sweat from his forehead. He said, "What should I do? I've been delayed for so long. I'm afraid it's too late to rush to Yifeng Pavilion now."
Just now, while the Shen family's carriage was traveling through a busy area of the city, it accidentally bumped into an old woman. The old woman immediately lost consciousness. The Shen family was no small family in Dingjing City, and Shen Xin was a respected hero, so naturally they had to protect their reputation. Shen Miao and Luo Tan had no reason to abandon the old woman alone. They had the guards take the old woman to the nearest clinic. They watched the doctor take the old woman's pulse and say she was fine. They only left after the old woman woke up.
Naturally, this action of theirs won the approval of many people. They felt that the girl from the general's mansion was not arrogant, but considerate of the people, which was a rare quality.
It was true that he had earned praise, but he had also wasted a lot of time. Now he had to rush to Yifeng Pavilion, and by the time he got there, it would probably be noon.
Shen Miao thought for a moment and said, “I won’t go.”
“Hey?” Luo Tan was still thinking about how to solve this problem. When he heard Shen Miao say this, he couldn’t help but be surprised: “Why aren’t you going? Doesn’t my little cousin hate people who don’t keep their promises the most?”
Chen Miao smiled and said, "The time and place for appreciating incense must be particular. The best time to go to Yifeng Pavilion is in the morning when the air is the freshest. At that time, appreciating incense will be refreshing. If you try to appreciate incense at noon or in the afternoon, the world will be in chaos and it will be difficult to taste the true essence of the fragrance. We can't let people wait for us. That would be unpleasant." She stretched out her hand to call Mo Qing and asked him to send a pigeon to Yifeng Pavilion. She and Luo Tan would not go because they were delayed by something.
Although Luo Tan felt a little disappointed, she had no interest in that nonsense of tasting incense in the first place. It was a rare opportunity to go out for a walk, so she immediately wanted to drag Shen Miao out for a stroll.
Shen Miao saw that it was still early and with guards like Ah Zhi following her, it would be no problem to go for a stroll, so she agreed.
Who knew that Luo Tan was so excited that after this trip, it was already getting dark when he returned to the Shen Mansion.
As soon as their carriage arrived at the gate, the servant at the door said with a smile: "It's good that the young lady is back. The mistress and the master have just returned as well."
“Just in time for dinner!” Luo Tan smiled and took Shen Miao’s hand, stepping into the door.
Who knew that when they entered the main hall, Luo Xueyan was talking to Shen Xin. Seeing Shen Miao and Luo Tan coming back, she was startled for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Jiao Jiao, Tan'er, where have you been?"
"Today, Madam Wang from the Yuanwailang Mansion invited us to Yifeng Pavilion to taste incense. On the way, our carriage hit an elderly woman. My cousin and I were busy taking care of her, which delayed us, so we simply apologized and didn't go. My cousin and I just wandered around. Dad, Mom, what happened?"
Shen Miao referred to Shen Dongling as "Mrs. Wang from the Yuanwailang Mansion," clearly trying to distance herself from the relationship and not wanting to be related to Shen Dongling at all.
Luo Xueyan didn't notice this, but just let out a deep breath and said, "But I was scared to death. Prince Qin was assassinated in Yifeng Pavilion today, and all those involved have been arrested and interrogated. Wang Bi said you were there, but no one saw you. Your father and I hurried back, and when we saw you were gone, we thought something had happened."
