She was destined to be sleepless that night...
...
As soon as it was light, Su Miao had breakfast and was the first to board the carriage.
Today, she is not wearing men's clothing; she has reverted to her female attire.
When the people of Zhangshuicheng saw her, they realized she was a young woman, and their praise for her increased considerably.
Liu Jiaojiao never liked being overshadowed, and hearing the cheers for Su Miao made her feel very uncomfortable.
Su Miao's calm demeanor, however, made it difficult for her to lash out.
At first glance, Su Miao doesn't seem to have any connection with her Chen Lang...
It seems more related to Xie Qin...
Liu Jiaojiao couldn't quite understand it and always felt that the two of them were impossible.
Because they needed to get somewhere quickly, they set off soon.
Liu Jiaojiao originally thought that Shen Changji would share a carriage with her, but who knew... this man actually chose to ride a horse!
She was practically half a wife to him, but he still threw out the words "Men and women should not touch each other" at her!
This is infuriating!
In front of everyone, she could only endure it, put on a proper demeanor, and respect Shen Changji's thoughts.
However, those words reached Su Miao's ears, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
Liu Jiaojiao came over under the guise of caring for Shen Changji, but Shen Changji didn't give her a friendly look.
Upon returning to the capital, Shen Changji and Xie Qin were summoned to the palace.
Su Miao then returned to the Duke's mansion to let Old Madam Shen know she was safe.
Even though Old Mrs. Shen had a thousand words to say, considering Su Miao's long journey, she only said a few words and then told her to go back and rest.
As soon as Su Miao entered her room, she noticed a set of men's clothing on the table.
Her heart skipped a beat, and a long, silent figure appeared in her mind.
Could it be that he prepared this...?
With Shen Changji not in the mansion, Su Miao could only suppress her thoughts for the time being and go to rest.
When she woke up, Shen Changji had just returned.
He had barely returned to the Duke's mansion when the imperial edict arrived.
Su Miao also heard rumors that Shen Changji would inherit the title upon his return.
In fact, just as rumored, the imperial edict was to grant Shen Changji the title of Duke.
Grandma Shen beamed with joy and invited everyone to eat together.
Su Miao really had no appetite, so she declined Old Madam Shen's offer.
Grandma Shen let her go.
With the events of last night and today intertwined, Su Miao couldn't muster any energy.
"You don't need to follow me, I can walk by myself."
Su Miao turned her head and said to Tao'er.
After saying that, she took the gauze lantern from her hand and walked alone to the backyard.
The glow of the lantern illuminated her face, revealing a serene and beautiful appearance.
Su Miao wore a plain jade hairpin in her hair and a light blue gauze dress. With her slender waist and delicate steps, the gauze fluttered, making her appear as ethereal and otherworldly as if she were untouched by worldly affairs.
Just as Su Miao was about to pass by the artificial hill, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and the other person pulled her inwards.
The gauze lantern fell to the ground with a "thud".
The artificial hill was dimly lit, and Su Miao bumped directly into Chen Changji's arms, enveloped by the man's familiar scent.
"Why are you hiding? It's me."
He was silent and withdrawn, his eyes lowered and his voice hoarse.
He held her slender waist in one hand, and stray hairs clung to her face, making her appear even more delicate and charming, arousing the most primal animalistic instincts within him.
A dark undercurrent flickered in his usually calm and silent eyes.
Before Su Miao could speak, Shen Changji asked those red lips fiercely.
He wanted to be here...
They took care of her.
