Chapter 809 Identity (4)
Shen Miao: "You should read less storybooks."
"Let's not talk about the storybook," Luo Tan said, holding his chin with both hands. "That Prince Rui is quite capable. My aunt and uncle had been looking for you for days but couldn't find you, but he found you in a flash. We in the Luo family only look at people based on their abilities. He's a capable man, and I heard he's also very handsome, which is rare. Many good-looking men are just empty talk, good-looking but useless. For example, Doctor Gao who often comes to our house is also quite good-looking, but he looks frail and will collapse at the slightest blow. Such men are unreliable and can only be used for show, not for use."
Congyang, who was listening with gusto from a tree branch outside, almost fell down. She looked good but was useless... This cousin of the Luo family was also very powerful. I wonder what Master Gao felt after hearing this...
"That's enough." Shen Miao glanced at her: "Why are you talking about all this nonsense? What on earth do you want to talk about?"
“My little cousin, I knew you were the smartest! You understand me the best in the entire Shen Mansion. Even my brother Luo Qian doesn’t have the same psychic connection with me as you do!” Luo Tan looked at Shen Miao expectantly, “I only have one wish. When you go to Daliang, take me with you! I’ll be your cousin who comes with you as a dowry!”
Shen Miao almost fainted. She said in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"I've never been to Daliang," Luo Tan said, "but I've heard it's a great place with lots of delicious food and fun things to do. Brother Ling and I came out this time to Dingjing to gain experience. Experience is all about seeing as many places as possible."
Shen Miao: “It was obviously you who secretly climbed onto the carriage.”
Luo Tan said: "If you still have any sense of loyalty, take me with you!"
“No.” Shen Miao’s heart was as hard as stone.
For the next half hour, Shen Miao witnessed Luo Tan lingering on her for a long time. Although she was with Xie Jingxing when she went to Daliang, Shen Miao knew that it might not be a smooth journey. No one could predict what would happen in the future, so there was no need to involve Luo Tan.
After Luo Tan left, Shen Miao sighed and opened the window. There were swaying shadows of trees outside, and the winter night was cold and desolate.
Xie Jingxing was truly remarkable, she thought, not even saying hello, but taking the liberty of issuing her an imperial decree. Not only was he issuing an imperial decree, but now he had even disappeared. At a time when explanation was needed, what did he mean by not showing up? Flirting and then running off?
Shen Miao slammed the window shut. Shameless!
The sound was so loud that Zong Yang scratched his ears, thinking that the young lady must have had her period, which was why she was so moody...
On the other side, in the courtyard of Shen Xin and his wife, Shen Xin was discussing this matter with Luo Xueyan.
Shen Xin said: “Going to Daliang with Jiaojiao?”
Luo Xueyan nodded. "We're not with Jiaojiao. If Jiaojiao gets into trouble in Daliang, we're so far away that we wouldn't know what she's been through. Back then... weren't there girls who married into other countries and were killed by their husbands' families? Don't they know about this?"
"He dares!" Shen Xin was furious, but then he suppressed his anger and said, "I can go, but I'm afraid the emperor won't let me go."
Luo Xueyan lowered her voice, "The situation between Daliang and Mingqi is so tense right now. If we go to Daliang together, the Emperor will definitely think we've defected... That's definitely not a good idea. But is there really no other way?"
Helplessly, Chen Xin turned his back to Luo Xueyan and stared at a painting on the wall in a trance.
That was the calligraphy and painting "Serve the Country with Loyalty" given to him by General Shen.
He was loyal and he served his country, but what did he get in return? The Shen family believed that there was no king who was not right. If the king wanted his subjects to die, they had to die. But why did he feel regret at this moment?
