The lone eagle was terrified when it heard this.
He had served his master for so many years and had never heard such words before.
If it weren't for the fact that he was his master, he would have called him a madman!
Shen Changji held the horse's reins, recalling what Su Miao had told him before.
"Xie Qin has a gentle personality. At the very least, it's perfectly legitimate for me to be with him, but it's not the same with you."
I don't want to be a concubine, nor do I want to be a mistress!
Although it hadn't come to that point, he could sense that Su Miao was very resistant.
If it really came to that, he couldn't imagine what would happen to her...
He still remembered what happened that year; she spoke to him in a sweet voice, telling him to take good care of himself and to live a good life.
He's alive and well, but what about her?
Chen Changji: "How is Liu Jiaojiao doing?"
"They're relatively well-behaved now, but we've sent people there based on the clues that Steward Liu mentioned."
They seemed to have sensed something and had changed positions. "Lone Eagle led his horse, following behind Shen Changji.
His deep, silent eyes darkened slightly, and a cold smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Throw some more grass."
Upon hearing this, Lone Eagle instantly understood the meaning behind Chen Changji's words.
...
In the evening, while Su Miao was painting, Tao'er went to Mo Lin's place.
"Have you finished preparing all the herbal medicine for her?"
Tao'er stood not far away and said very respectfully, "It's all cooked. Except for the first night when General Chen came and Miss's emotions may have fluctuated a bit, the last few nights have been very stable."
"That's good. You've worked hard these past few days, putting in a lot of effort to ensure Miao'er takes her medicine on time," Mo Lin sighed.
"Serving Miss is my duty, and besides... I also hope that Miss can be well."
As Tao'er spoke, she couldn't help but recall the night Su Miao squatted by the bed, looking so lost and distraught.
Su Miao has always suffered from heart disease, especially in the two years before Pei Yu left, when her emotions were very unstable.
Because Pei Yu was her source of strength to keep living.
Mo Lin had watched her grow up step by step.
He hoped she would be alright.
So over the years, he had been secretly seeking out renowned doctors to prescribe medicine for Su Miao.
Su Miao was a doctor, so she was very sensitive to medicine.
Tao'er put a lot of effort into ensuring that Su Miao took her medicine on time. She learned how to make medicinal cuisine and tried to incorporate it into the food, otherwise Su Miao would notice something was wrong.
In this way, Su Miao was able to take the prescribed medicine on time almost every time.
Su Miao's condition is not as bad as it was back then, and Mo Lin's heart has gradually calmed down a bit.
If it weren't for this situation, he wouldn't have agreed to let her take this risk to get close to Shen Changji.
"By the way, do Miao'er and Xie Qin get along well?"
"Yes, Young Master Xie is knowledgeable about herbs and also has some medical skills, which is why he and Miss have things to talk about."
Upon hearing this, Mo Lin nodded, a darker look appearing in his eyes.
"General, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. Otherwise, if it gets too late, Miss might become suspicious."
"Okay, go ahead."
Tao'er curtsied and respectfully left.
...
When Tao'er returned, Su Miao was eating grapes in her hand, staring blankly at the newly finished painting in front of her.
"Miss? What's wrong? Do you think the grapes are sour? Would you like me to show you a different way to eat them?"
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Su Miao's face.
"No need, you've been busy all day, I'd feel bad for you."
As she spoke, Su Miao pulled Tao'er down to sit.
Tao'er didn't refuse.
"Is Miss thinking of General Chen? I'll go see if General Chen is coming over tonight!"
As Tao'er was about to get up, Su Miao grabbed her arm.
"I didn't! Sit with me for a bit."
"Okay, okay!"
Tao'er was smiling, but she could tell that although Su Miao was smiling, it wasn't a genuine smile from the heart.
Because she was thinking about going to the Duke's mansion the next day, Tao'er helped Su Miao to rest early.
As soon as it was light, Su Miao had breakfast and then went over.
She was carrying a medicinal meal for Old Madam Shen, and when she saw Su Miao, Old Madam Shen smiled.
"Miao'er is here? Come and sit down!"
“Grandmother looks so energetic today,” Su Miao couldn’t help but say.
"Of course! The princess's niece, Miss Meng, is also interested in Ziji! I've heard of Miss Meng; she's pretty and has a very gentle personality!" the second wife said happily.
Su Miao didn't need to find out the details; she knew that nine out of ten girls who could send over the picture album came from prestigious families and were proficient in all the arts, from music and chess to calligraphy and painting.
She didn't say anything and continued to prepare medicinal meals for Old Lady Shen.
When the second wife said those words, she had already noticed Su Miao's expression.
Surely... this child cares about something, doesn't he?
Su Miao left after a short while.
After the person left, Old Mrs. Shen couldn't help but sigh.
She just didn't expect that Su Miao was planning to leave, but Master Shen sent someone to find her.
Su Miao knew that Master Shen was not feeling well, so she went to visit him.
When she came out again, she couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Yueyin happened to come over, saw Su Miao, and couldn't help but greet her.
Knowing that Shen Yueyin had come to visit the third branch of the family, Su Miao didn't disturb her too much.
As Shen Yueyin walked past her, her eyes gleamed, and she said in a low voice, "Miao'er, you also like my brother, don't you? Actually, I also hope that you can become my sister-in-law."
The sound wasn't loud, but when it reached Su Miao's ears, she was stunned.
