Lone Eagle thought his master didn't care about such excitement, but who knew...
"Should we inform the Liu family?"
After all, Liu Jiaojiao was his betrothed wife.
"Need not."
Right now, his mind isn't on that.
"Send someone to find out where Su Miaoren is now!" Shen Changji said with a frown.
He doesn't like crowded places, especially on days like today.
When Lone Eagle heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
He thought his master hadn't seen a lively lantern festival in all these years, so he came out specifically to experience it.
Who would have thought... he was going to find his cousin!
"I sent someone to check today, and Miss Biao was not with Young Master Liu."
“It’s precisely because we’re not together that it’s best,” Shen Changji said without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Lone Eagle nearly lost his footing.
However, if the master likes her, he can ask the old lady. Perhaps the old lady will actually agree to let the young lady into his household.
Lone Eagle couldn't help but marvel once again at Su Miao's brilliant methods!
...
At this moment, Su Miao arrived at the lakeside with the lantern she had made.
Today is not only the Lantern Festival, but also the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, a day for praying for blessings, and there are many people by the lake.
Su Miao wore a light blue dress, with a simple jade hairpin in her hair. She had a slender figure and exuded an otherworldly charm.
She took the lantern from Tao'er, the night breeze ruffling her thin dress, her brows lowered, her eyes revealing sincerity.
As soon as Shen Changji arrived, he noticed Su Miao's figure.
Although she was dressed in a simple white dress, her beauty was still captivating, like a spring orchid in bud.
Tao'er lit a lamp for Su Miao, but she felt a gaze directed at them.
Tao couldn't help but look in that direction.
Upon seeing this, she quickly said, "Miss, the eldest young master has also arrived!"
She wasn't surprised to hear Shen Changji's voice.
Su Miao silently recited several words in her heart, and then placed the lit lantern into the lake.
The moment the movement ended, a long silence followed.
Even without turning around, Su Miao could feel the man's innate domineering presence.
She used the strands of hair that were falling around her ears to compose herself.
After a while, when Su Miao got up and turned around, she had already put on her usual smiling face.
"Why is my brother here?"
"Just curious, came to take a look," Chen Changji said calmly.
That's what he said, but his gaze towards Su Miao was turbulent.
"There are two more lamps left, brother, let's light them together." Su Miao took one and handed it to Shen Changji.
"Will putting so many in make it work?"
"Not many, I always do this, but there are a lot of people, so I spread them out to show my sincerity. Otherwise, it would be a bit stingy to have just one person," Su Miao explained.
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Changji lit the lantern, closed his eyes for a moment, and then put the things down.
Su Miao followed.
However, as the two stood up, a deep, silent voice rang out, but its contents made Su Miao blush.
The man's deep voice carried an ambiguous hint.
Su Miao met Chen Changji's burning gaze and nodded slightly.
Shen Changji looked at Su Miao's appearance and was about to speak when suddenly, a cold light flashed before his eyes.
"elder brother!"
Su Miao shouted and stood in front of Shen Changji without hesitation.
The arrow pierced Su Miao's shoulder.
Shen Changji's eyes widened, and he quickly reached out to hug Su Miao, his dark eyes sweeping back towards the source of the attack.
The situation happened suddenly, and the guards quickly appeared to capture and protect their master.
People around panicked and fled the area.
"Capture them alive! Don't let a single one escape!" Chen Changji ordered in a cold voice, his whole body exuding a murderous aura.
He looked at the bright red stain in his hand, and without thinking too much, handed it over to Lone Eagle, then carried Su Miao away.
"It hurts so much... Brother..." Su Miao said weakly, her face pale.
"Just bear with it a little longer! We'll be there soon!"
Shen Changji carried Su Miao and quickly entered a residence.
The physician who usually served the silent and withdrawn had already arrived.
"Hiss, she's not in any danger! But she's such a delicate girl, so you'll have to be careful. I'm going to remove the arrow from her."
Upon hearing the news of the arrow being pulled out, Su Miao's eyes reddened even more, and she bit her lips tightly.
Seeing this, Shen Changji said in a deep voice, "You all get out."
The doctor glanced at it, said nothing, and wisely left.
Only Shen Changji and Su Miao remained in the room.
"It hurts..." Su Miao's forehead began to sweat.
Shen Changji looked at her moist lips, slightly parted, and couldn't help but lean closer...
"It'll be over soon..."
