While Su Miao was talking to someone, she noticed Chen Changji out of the corner of her eye.
He stood not far away, his features sharp and clear, his demeanor aloof and distant, exuding an air of detached nobility.
The moment his eyes met Su Miao's, Shen Changji turned and left.
Just as Su Miao was about to walk over, Xie Qin grabbed her wrist. "Miao'er, it's time for us to take our seats."
He had just finished speaking with someone and did not notice the scene between Su Miao and Shen Changji.
Seeing that Shen Changji had walked away, Su Miao turned her head and said "okay".
Xie Qin's status was already extraordinary, and now that Su Miao has become a county princess, people no longer look down on her as much as before.
However, many people started discussing Shen Changji and Liu Jiaojiao.
"I heard that once the eldest daughter of the Shen family is married, the next thing to happen will be the marriage between General Shen and the eldest daughter of the Liu family. It's a double celebration for the Duke's mansion."
"I've heard that I've often seen General Shen and this Miss Liu together these past few days. Good things must be coming soon."
"The two of them are a perfect match no matter how you look at them. General Shen is extraordinary, and this Lady Liu is like a bodhisattva reincarnated. They are truly a perfect match."
"I estimate that the couple's wedding will be at the beginning of next month."
As Su Miao listened to those words, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, concealing the emotions beneath her eyes.
From Xie Qin's perspective, Su Miao appears fragile and helpless at the moment.
Xie Qin peeled a fruit for Su Miao and handed it to her.
"It's very sweet and delicious."
Su Miao raised her eyes and smiled gently.
“I know you have something on your mind… cough cough! Don’t be sad, have some fruit, and tomorrow I’ll take you up the mountain to gather herbs, and then we’ll ride horses.”
"Riding a horse?" Su Miao's eyes lit up slightly.
Xie Qin saw Su Miao's curious gaze and instantly smiled.
At least she was interested.
"Yes, horseback riding! I also have quite a few medical books; you can take them back and read them later."
Why are you so good to me?
"Because I feel a connection with you. Do I need a reason to be nice to someone? You like perfumery, and so do I. You like medicine, and so do I. Isn't that good? It's like having another confidant."
As Xie Qin spoke, she peeled another grape for Su Miao.
"Cheer up, have something sweet."
As he spoke, Xie Qin brought over a lot more fruit, and Su Miao quickly pressed his hand down.
"That's enough, that's enough. If you eat any more, you won't be able to eat at the banquet later. I consider Yueyin a good sister, and today is her big day, so I have to eat more."
Seeing that Su Miao's mood had improved, Xie Qin immediately put down the fruit and said, "Okay! Save room for meat later."
Moved by Xie Qin's emotions, Su Miao smiled and gave a soft "hmm".
Although the two didn't do much, everyone could see that they were chatting and laughing.
Liu Jiaojiao came out and happened to see this harmonious scene. She walked over with a smile.
"Young Master Xie treats Miss Su so well, he must genuinely like her, right?"
"Why not?" Xie Qin didn't try to hide anything.
These words carried even more weight, drawing the attention of many people around.
"Then I'll be waiting for your good news."
Liu Jiaojiao smiled and glanced at Su Miao before leaving.
Upon hearing this, everyone speculated whether, after General Shen's wedding, it would be time for this Lady Su to marry him.
After all, at first glance, the two seem quite compatible.
Xie Qin tried to say things that would make Su Miao happy and kept putting food on her plate.
Looking at the food in her bowl, Su Miao couldn't help but think of a certain person.
Someone else had treated her like that before.
"You should eat some too."
As she spoke, Su Miao picked up a piece of fish and placed it into Xie Qin's bowl.
The moment Su Miao looked up at him, Xie Qin was slightly dazed.
Especially since Su Miao was smiling, it made his heart skip a beat.
He had seen beautiful women before, but none as beautiful as Su Miao…
Xie Qin withdrew her gaze and thanked him several times.
Why are you being so polite with me?
"I don't need to be so polite with you?"
Xie Qin followed up with Su Miao's question, their eyes meeting.
At this moment, Lone Eagle was standing behind Shen Changji. From his position, he could see Su Xiaoniangzi and Xie Shizi's actions clearly.
Not to mention... the position his master is standing in now.
They've been standing here for almost half an hour... but their master shows no sign of leaving!
Sweat trickled down his forehead, and Lone Eagle could only helplessly wipe it with his sleeve before continuing to stand guard...
...
Because it was a joyous occasion, Liu Muxuan was busy greeting guests outside. By the time he returned, Shen Yueyin was almost starving.
"Hurry up, get all the procedures done!"
Shen Yueyin, her head covered by a red veil, couldn't help but urge them on.
"They're here, they're here."
"I'm starving to death!"
"I'll have someone send something over later."
"I plan to go to the kitchen myself."
Liu Muxuan had always known that Shen Yueyin was fierce, but he never expected her to be this fierce!
"You'll come with me!" Shen Yueyin added.
"Wouldn't it be better if I had someone deliver it to you?"
"Oh no, I'm really curious about your Liu family!"
At first, Liu Muxuan disagreed, but he couldn't argue with Shen Yueyin, so he had no choice but to admit defeat.
Liu Muxuan: "Your personality hasn't changed at all!"
Shen Yueyin: "Even if it doesn't change, you still married me!"
Shen Yueyin stuck her tongue out at him.
When Liu Muxuan followed her out, he saw a basket full of storybooks among the things she was carrying...
"From now on, I won't have to hide to read storybooks anymore; I can read them without fear," Shen Yueyin exclaimed.
