Su Miao stepped down from the carriage, and Shen Changji stared at her intently.
He couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
Even if Su Miao were reduced to ashes, he would still recognize this woman!
Is this what she called "shopping" that she went out early in the morning?
He actually "purchased" from Xie Qin's carriage; he really underestimated her!
Xie Qin, seeing Shen Changji staring at Su Miao, couldn't help but say, "My Wang Cui is a highly skilled physician, capable of bringing the dead back to life! General Shen won't mind having one more person, will he?"
Standing to the side, Lone Eagle frowned upon hearing this, not daring to look at him.
No wonder Prince Xie was laughing so happily just now; he had a backup plan!
His master not only wouldn't mind, but he would even be eager to... he couldn't ask for it!
"Wang Cui?"
He uttered the name in a deep, silent voice, his gaze still fixed on Su Miao.
Su Miao felt Shen Changji's burning gaze. She had expected him to react this way, so she nodded decisively.
However, she never expected that the name Xie Qin casually gave her would actually come in handy!
On the way here, Xie Qin mentioned the name Wang Cui to her, but she thought it sounded too awful, so she mentioned another name instead.
But Xie Qin persisted and insisted on calling her Wang Cui!
Su Miao had no idea what Xie Qin was thinking. He looked like a refined gentleman, but the name he chose was truly something else...
That doesn't suit her at all!
Wang Cui, Wang Cui... It's almost as if they're missing the word "flower" at the end!
"Yes! Wang Cui! My most capable right-hand woman!" Xie Qin said without exaggeration.
Upon hearing this, Shen Changji gave a light scoff.
"Then it seems she's quite capable."
"It's alright, just above me," Xie Qin said calmly.
Above?
His eyes were dark and brooding.
Seeing this, Lone Eagle quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Ahem! Young Master, it seems it's about time we set off!"
Xie Qin glanced around, then chimed in with a smile, "Yes, right, we should continue on our way!"
He patted Chen Changji on the shoulder, smiled, and turned around.
Seeing Su Miao preparing to return to the carriage, Xie Qin couldn't help but ask, "Wang Cui, General Shen greatly admires you. Would you like to share a carriage with him?"
Upon hearing Xie Qin's words, Su Miao paused slightly and turned to look at Chen Changji.
A slight smile played at the corners of her lips, her bright eyes sparkling with intelligence. She said, "General Shen, are you willing to tolerate me?"
Even though Su Miao was dressed in men's clothing, her fair skin was still evident in her smile, which was dazzling and breathtaking.
He met her gaze and said coldly, "I cannot tolerate it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Changji boarded the carriage without the slightest hesitation.
Xie Qin chuckled upon seeing this.
"General Shen is still as cold as ever! Wang Cui, it's alright, this place will always be your home! Come, let's continue our drinking and merriment!"
With that, Xie Qin led Su Miao into the carriage.
The two were indeed riding in the same carriage, and Shen Changji could see them clearly through the gap in the carriage curtain.
Tao'er and Lone Eagle exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and each returned to their own carriage.
The carriage moved slowly, and laughter occasionally drifted from the carriage carrying Xie Qin and Su Miao.
On the other side, the carriage was eerily silent.
The two sides formed a stark contrast.
It seemed like there were endless interesting stories going on next door; the constant laughter and chatter made Shen Changji feel extremely annoyed.
Xie Qin was naturally enjoying himself. After all, traveling was boring, and now that he had a beautiful woman by his side, he was naturally happy!
Not only is it pleasing to the eye, but most importantly, Su Miaoren is also very interesting.
He had spoken to Liu Jiaojiao before, but Liu Jiaojiao was too introverted!
Su Miao was even more surprised that Xie Qin had so many interesting stories to tell. After chatting about the interesting stories, they could also discuss medical techniques together.
Xie Qin's personality was completely different from what she had imagined.
He seems...to be quite approachable.
Looking at the table full of her favorite snacks, Su Miao felt that the journey wasn't so boring after all.
...
Grandma Shen quickly learned that Su Miao had gone to Zhangshui City.
She looked at the letter in her hand, sighed, and showed no sign of blame.
Su Miao going was something she had imagined.
After all, that was her homeland, and she hadn't been back for many years, and now she had discovered that kind of thing.
She has always been a kind child. Since she wants to go, let her go, but she must return safely.
Grandma Shen carefully put away the letter, put her hands together, and silently recited "Amitabha Buddha, may the Bodhisattva protect us."
The third wife was even more surprised that Su Miao would go; she was practically beaming with joy.
"Don't worry, Mother-in-law, with Ziji here, Miao'er will definitely be alright!"
"Xie Qin is here too, and Miao'er is with him, so I feel a little more at ease," said Old Madam Shen.
Although Ziji was capable of strategizing and advancing cautiously on the battlefield, he was still somewhat lacking in other matters...
"You'll be back safely, Mother-in-law, just wait for good news!" the third wife comforted her.
"You must not let anyone outside know about Miao'er's departure, and you must not spread the word! You know, I know, and the second branch of the family knows, that's enough." Old Madam Shen said in a serious tone.
"Understood!" The third branch nodded.
Grandma Shen sighed.
Perhaps this was the best protection she could give Miaoya, to keep too many people from knowing she was leaving...
She saw so many reflections of herself in Miaoya...
The third family stayed with Old Madam Shen for quite a while before heading back home.
