Chapter 373: Meeting Again in the Palace (2)
Shen Qiu was also happy: "Sister, you are so thoughtful!"
"All they do is drink!" Luo Xueyan rolled her eyes at the father and son and said, "Let the servants buy those things. Why should Jiaojiao care about them?"
"You woman!" Chen Xin was unhappy again: "These are all Jiaojiao's thoughtful gifts. Can the servants buy the same as Jiaojiao? You are so short-sighted!" Shen Miao now has a rare harmonious and close relationship with them. Chen Xin is very happy. Even if Shen Miao bought two jars of water today, he would be very happy. Naturally, he had to refute Luo Xueyan's words.
"Short-sighted?" Luo Xueyan glanced at him sideways.
"Madam's mood swings," Shen Xin said immediately, "I am a short-sighted brat." Shen Xin slapped Shen Qiu on the head.
Luo Xueyan was too lazy to watch the two father and son playfully playing tricks on each other, so she looked at Shen Miao and said, "Jiaojiao, I came here today because I actually have something I want to discuss with you."
"Mother, please speak."
“You’ve also heard about the family division. I think we’ll be able to split it up in a few days. Your father and I have also thought it through. We need to buy a new house. We’ve seen a nice house in the east of the city. We can hire some maids to clean and serve. But…” Luo Xueyan looked at Shen Miao, feeling a little embarrassed: “When your father and I went to the northwest before, we left you behind. We felt that with the protection of the Shen family, you would be safer. Now that the family is divided, if your father, your eldest brother and I leave again, it will be unsafe for you, a girl, to live alone in a house. We’re also afraid of what others will say. So… Jiaojiao, are you willing to go to the northwest with your mother?”
Shen Miao was slightly startled.
"Sister, the Northwest is really fun." Seeing Shen Miao in a daze, Chen Qiu quickly said, "It's not as exaggerated as they say. Live in Xiaochun City, where there are mountains and rivers, and there are many rare birds and animals. When you go hunting, you can get a white tiger skin to make a cloak for you."
"Nonsense!" Luo Xueyan scolded with a smile, "What does your sister, a girl, need a white tiger skin for?"
Shen Qiu scratched his head: "There are mines there, the gems are huge, my sister can also make jewelry!"
Shen Miao smiled faintly. She had been a little hesitant at first, as she had other things to do in Dingjing City. However, after hearing what Shen Qiu said, she began to yearn for the Northwestern Little Spring City. Who wouldn't want to live a carefree life? Who wants to open their eyes every day thinking about how to scheme against others? She sighed inwardly and decided to go with them. It was just a one-time trip. At worst, she wouldn't have to go back next year.
“Okay.” Under everyone’s expectant gaze, Shen Miao nodded: “I also want to go and see it.”
Luo Xueyan breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Xin laughed loudly, "I said Jiaojiao would definitely agree! After coming back for so long, have you ever seen Jiaojiao dislike us warriors?"
"Sister, sister," Chen Qiu was also excited: "When the time comes, I will take you to meet my brothers. They all know that I have a sister, but they have never seen you. And your grandparents' family, you haven't seen them since you were born, so you will definitely not recognize them this time."
Luo Xueyan's family was a military commander stationed in the northwest. They had only come once, when Shen Miao was born, and since they were thousands of miles apart, they hadn't seen each other in all these years. Shen Miao lowered her eyes. In her previous life, after Luo Xueyan's death, the Luo family and the Shen family had severed ties. Shen Miao had never had a deep relationship with the other family, so she wasn't entirely sure what happened to the Luo family. However, given Madam Mei's ruthless methods, she figured she would find a way to ensure Fu Xiuyi wouldn't let the Luo family go.
After talking for a while, it was not until late that Luo Xueyan urged Shen Miao to go back to her room to rest.
After washing up, Shen Miao sat at the table, looking at the dancing flames, and couldn't help but sigh. If she really wanted to go to the northwest with Chen Xin, she would have to take care of everything within the next six months.
