After Lone Eagle had Su Miao sent back, Su Miao found herself unable to sleep.
"It's late, Miss, you should rest early."
"Tao'er, come for a walk with me."
Seeing that Su Miao's expression was off, Tao'er replied with an "okay".
She used her light-footed skills to carry Su Miao away from the Duke's mansion.
She has always been skilled in martial arts, but since she lives in the Duke's mansion, she cannot reveal too much of it.
The master initially agreed to let her follow Su Miao because of her martial arts skills.
Tao'er accompanied Su Miao to the lakeside as usual.
Because she knew that Su Miao liked to go to the lake to relax when she was feeling down.
This time is no exception.
Su Miao took out the copied Buddhist scriptures and lit a tinderbox.
She squatted by the lake, feeling the cool breeze, and her mood improved.
Do you know why I like coming to the lake?
"Master mentioned something. It seems it's because there was a small lake in front of where Miss used to live?" Tao'er asked tentatively.
Su Miao nodded.
Life back then wasn't like it is now, where you can eat whatever you want and wear pretty dresses, but it was still pretty good.
Simple and joyful.
Most importantly, there's something to look forward to.
She hoped that everything would gradually get better, and that things would get better for them.
But... things are unpredictable, and in the end, it all fell apart.
The person who loved her most in the world is gone...
That was her only family member, yet he was cruelly possessed!
Su Miao burned the Buddhist scriptures in her hand, a bitter smile appearing on her lips.
Because of the distinction between high and low status, the lowly are like ants, easily crushed!
On what grounds?
Su Miao's eyes reddened slightly, and the flickering flames in her eyes swayed uncertainly, the hatred in her eyes impossible to erase.
Her medical skills are certainly excellent, because they are the result of painstaking training.
Every detail is imbued with painful yet unforgettable beautiful memories.
She will not forget, and she will remain humble and diligent in investigating further, because she also wants to use her skills to heal the sick and relieve the suffering of the people...
Tao'er stood behind Su Miao, watching her frail body tremble slightly, and couldn't help but feel heartache.
But she couldn't say anything.
As Su Miao watched the Buddhist scriptures gradually burn out and the flames grow smaller, she didn't hesitate to wipe away her tears and take a deep breath.
"Let's go, Peach."
"Miss……"
"Don't worry." Her discomfort is nothing.
She hasn't seen the wicked get the punishment they deserve, so she won't fall so easily.
"Tao'er, don't tell him either," Su Miao couldn't help but remind him.
"Okay, I won't tell my master."
Tao'er knew that her mistress didn't want her master to worry too much about her.
Su Miao nodded.
If she told the truth, she would no longer be able to stay in the Duke's mansion.
She will not leave until she has avenged her great grievance.
Tao'er waited until Su Miao calmed down for a while before taking her back to the Duke's mansion.
...
The next morning, Liu Jiaojiao sent over an invitation early in the morning, which was nothing more than a birthday greeting.
The two daughters from the third branch of the family were unable to attend due to other commitments, so Su Miao, as a daughter of the Duke's mansion, went to attend Liu Jiaojiao's birthday celebration.
When Old Man Shen saw her, he smiled and said, "Jiaojiao, you'll also be enjoying the flowers this time. Take a good look and see which young master catches your eye. Your grandmother will make the decision for you!"
A light pink tinge appeared on Su Miao's fair face.
"Grandma, you're making fun of me again!"
"Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. You are, after all, a young lady of the Duke's mansion. As long as your grandmother is here, she will make sure you have a grand wedding and that no one will look down on you!" Old Man Shen patted Su Miao's hand.
The words had barely left his lips when a long silence followed.
Su Miao lowered her eyes and did not look at him.
He had already heard what Old Mrs. Shen said when he came in.
"Glorious? How glorious?" Chen Changji couldn't help but ask.
"You and Miao'er will go together, so you must take good care of her! You'll have a better chance to meet people in the men's section. Don't tell me you're too busy or don't have time!" Old Madam Shen snorted.
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Shen Changji's face.
"good."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Su Miao, who was standing next to Old Madam Shen.
Old Mrs. Shen knew that Shen Changji had something to do, so she gave him a few instructions and then went back to her room to rest.
Su Miao left with Shen Changji.
As Su Miao walked out of Old Madam Shen's room, the jade curtain was just hanging down. Su Miao was about to raise her hand when Shen Changji took the initiative to lift it for her.
"Let's go first."
"Thank you, brother."
Shen Changji was already tall and imposing, and having spent many years in the military, he exuded a strong sense of authority and ruthlessness.
As Su Miao walked past him, she was only up to his chest, and he was enveloped by a deep and quiet aura.
"Let's talk in private."
A deep, silent voice came from behind, and Su Miao paused slightly.
"good."
Su Miao followed Shen Changji into his study.
Once inside, the "good brother and sister" act they had put on outside vanished instantly.
"Did you come here specifically to thank me, brother?" Su Miao's lips curled up as she looked at the man in the main seat.
What do you want?
"I know very well what kind of brother I want," Su Miao said without hiding anything.
Shen Changji thought of what she had said last night: she wanted to be his legal wife!
"I will not give up on marrying Liu Jiaojiao," Shen Changji said.
Hearing this, Su Miao was not surprised; instead, she smiled.
"Brother's feelings for Sister Liu are truly deep!" she couldn't help but sarcastically remark.
"Do you want to learn swordsmanship?" Shen Changji stared at Su Miao and asked again.
