Chapter 856 Secret (3)
"We stay in Dingjing, and you marry far away. If Mingqi and Daliang go to war one day, and you don't show up, you're just a woman, adrift, alone in a foreign country, with no control over your own affairs. The people won't blame you. And my Shen family is in Mingqi, so it's even more impossible for us to collude with Daliang, and naturally we won't be stigmatized."
Shen Miao shook her head: “In that case, does Dad have to fight against Daliang on behalf of Mingqi in the name of the Shen Family Army?”
"No." Chen Xin smiled: "Before that, His Majesty will definitely take action against the Shen family. Even if the emperor doesn't take action, I have a way to make him take action against the Shen family." Chen Xin looked at the tea on the table: "The royal family is suspicious. As long as they do something and let the emperor hear some unfounded rumors, the emperor will be wary of the Shen family for a long time and will definitely not be able to restrain himself from taking action." What he said was ironic. He had fought for Emperor Wenhui for many years, protected the country, and risked his life many times. But as long as the villain said some slander in front of Emperor Wenhui, Emperor Wenhui would forget his ministers' loyalty to him and would kill the other party without hesitation.
Emperor Wenhui would not allow himself to suffer any harm if his throne was threatened or there was even the slightest suspicion.
"When that day comes..." Shen Xin's eyes suddenly darkened: "The day when the royal family treats our Shen family unkindly and unjustly is the day when the Shen family will rise up!"
He did not want the Shen family to bear the stigma, but he was also unwilling to sacrifice the living for the sake of Qingming and become a victim of the despicable imperial power. Therefore, he wanted to let the people of the world see clearly that it was the royal family that was unkind to the Shen family first, and then the Shen family would be unjust to the royal family.
Perhaps compared to the royal family, a mighty general with illustrious military achievements would have a higher reputation among the people of Mingqi. Chen Xin wanted to take advantage of this and have a battle of hearts and minds with the royal family.
This is the Shen family's counterattack against the Ming Qitian family.
But Shen Miao was not thinking about this at the moment. She was thinking that this was not Shen Xin's style.
The Shen family is straightforward and honest, saying what they mean and saying what they mean. They never play tricks on people. Except on the battlefield, they are usually as open and honest as a blank sheet of paper. This is why Shen Miao has been taking on all matters on her own since her rebirth. Firstly, the Shen family cannot calculate people's hearts, and secondly, she is afraid that if she appears to be in the eyes of the Shen family, she will be seen as scheming, sinister and vicious.
But what Shen Xin was doing now was secretly planning and strategizing. Shen Xin would never do this on his own initiative. Whether he heard something from others or someone made a request, Shen Miao almost immediately thought of someone, Xie Jingxing.
She looked at Shen Xin, wanting to speak, but was speechless for a moment.
Chen Xin seemed to see through her inner struggles, and patted her head with a smile: "I used to think Jiaojiao would never grow up, but later, Jiaojiao grew up alone in Dingjing. I used to think it was not good for a little girl to be too mature all day long, but now, Dad is very glad." He smiled and said: "This way, even if Dad and Mom are not around, Jiaojiao can protect herself."
Shen Miao said, “Dad, if the Shen family can’t protect themselves, please write a letter to Daliang. I’m the daughter of the Shen family, and I will find a way.”
"These are things men do. You're a girl, but you really think you're a boy?" Chen Xin laughed. "But our Jiaojiao is the best girl in the world. Come to think of it, marrying Prince Rui is a loss."
Shen Miao felt her nose getting a little sour, and it seemed that from this moment on, she clearly understood that in this new life, she would be leaving her family.
"Although Prince Rui is a bit cunning and cruel, he is still trustworthy. Since he has agreed to marry you, he will always protect you. If you like him, don't worry about anything. Just like what you like and do what you want."
